Rockin Sound (Jin & Shouko)

Thoom. Thoom. The sound of concussive blasts rung throughout the school's training area, for any wandering ears to pick up on. And pick up they did, indeed! It took little imagination to imagine them perking up as a dogs would upon hearing something of interest. Such a noise! It could only have two possible sources! The first, a quirk! Many students were training theirs for the sports festival, and it wasn't a few that could make such a noise! Had she not just stumbled upon one boy who made thunder clap as he punched? The other option, of course, was the support class's tech department!

Little did she know, the answer was- Both.

It wasn't hard to locate the source of the noise, broadcasting the other's location to her ears- And without much ado, the twintailed brunette would appear on the training field, eyes gleaming like the hound who had found the scent! And that audible scent led her to- "Whoa! Amazing!" She cried at the site of the target shattering, despite there being no visible bullet... Combined with the concussive sound each shot released, it wasn't hard for the maniac to guess it's identity! "Is that a sound cannon? Whoa! Did you make it yourself?" Would come an excited chatter, perhaps even before her presence had been noticed.

And that was before she saw the rest of the pile. A sword? Swords always made her think of Tetsuko-senpai, so they were hyped up in her book! And that other... It was a hammer? But it's innards streaming out like that... "Ehh, what's this one do?" She would ask, reaching for the partially disassembled piece without paying heed to its owner. There wasn't a hammer user on campus, so she was really curious how it worked! What were these wires for? Was it meant to be used by the boy who was testing it, or was he building it for a friend?

Not that it was working much in it's current state. It probably wouldn't be long before she grew more interested in the piece which looked functional, the sword! Unless her investigation was interrupted, of course.

The girl's head would tilt sideways at the explanation, clearly having understood... Less than half of that? And yet, despite clearly not having a clue, she would chirp! "Wao! That's super cool!" Naturally, she wouldn't put it down until she had poked around at it a few times. Well, at least she managed to not make it any worse... And perhaps on account of it's already spilled innards, did not swing the device carelessly. "It uses sound to damage, you say? Woah! That's like something from an anime!" Sound-based attacks were a staple! Passing through armor to strike at squishy flesh! Invisible, yet deadly! And accompanied by a resonant chime! So romantic!

Of course, Shouko's own powers were about as far from Shounen Battle as they got. There would be no 'Aha! I've been saving this technique for a worthy opponent!' moments from her! No mid-fight power ups! No, she belonged more in a wuxia drama, a lone hero fighting with nothing but her body, her quirk, and her sheer force of will! Perhaps that had something to do with her fascination for quirks in all their wide, varying shapes and sizes? But then, it wasn't as though she disliked her own quirk. Rather, it's simplicity was a weapon in and of itself!

"Ehe, but I can see how that would be a problem! Nyahaha, sounds like you could use some sturdier parts!" The proposed solution was so simple as to be insulting. Of course sturdier parts would help. If he had sturdier ones to use, wouldn't he have used them by now? But Shouko was as her quirk, simple, and she thought that it was quite the brilliant and innovative solution! It was also the only thing she could come up with, considering her ability with technology... Was about limited to using it for video editing!

Unperturbed by the boy's bluntness, Shouko would introduce herself as requested! With quite the enthusiasm, as usual! "Yes! I'm Iwasaka Shouko, of 1-A! Neehee, support you say? How interesting! No wonder you were making something as interesting as this! Hey, hey, what do these others do?" And with this, she would smoothly segue back into the topic at hand! What these cool toys were!

Unfortunately, the girl who's mind for tech only extended so far as her cameras would not be interested in said finer details. Of the basic questions of 'Who, what, when, why, where, and how,' her priority had long since been set! First came what, as in what it could do! Then where, where she could see it! When, when it would be mastered! Who, who was doing it? Why and how they were doing it, were the last things on her mind! You didn't need a reason to make a sound cannon! Just as she didn't need a reason to create her Yaogun style! Hm hm! "Wao! Impressive! Planning on showing it off in the festival? I look forward to it! Nyahaha, but you'd better work fast! We've only got a few days left!"

Rather than these experiments and theories, what mattered was it's use in an actual fight!

Shouko could only shrug as he explained why her thinking wouldn't work. "Eto... I don't really get it, but okay!" She didn't know why he didn't just borrow parts from the robotics club... But hey, maybe he was trying to challenge himself! She did that all the time! Like seeing if she could perform the moves of her second stance while only using one leg! Sometimes what mattered wasn't if it would be efficient, but if it was possible! And how that possibility led her to see concepts that were hidden by using her stance normally! "I hope you find what you're looking for!" Of course, what she thought he was looking for was skills, when what he actually sought was... Parts.

As for the dummies... "Mmm. Really? The school uses some pretty strong dummies!" Even with all her strength, denting them was the worst she had done! And with the second years' insane power, there were dummies in all ranges. "Why not borrow a second year dummy?" Was her first suggestion... Before a wonderful idea came across her! En, this was testing, so it was fine! "En. Or else... Use me! I'm pretty sturdy, you know!" was her brilliant idea. There was only so much she could tell of the weapons' power by watching! Experiencing them would be the best!

The school may not be so enthusiastic about the idea of using untested weapons on a student, however.

"Ehh, all three use sound? Why is that? If you want a fancy cutting sword, isn't vibration the standard!" A sci-fi staple, the vibrating sword! Although sound was a vibration too... "Or is it the same kind of theory?" She would ask, just to be sure. However, the answer soon came. "Ohhhh, I see! That makes sense! En, so these weapons are for yourself, then?" She had wondered if he was making them for someone else, or for himself... But if they only worked because of his quirk- Which could be presumed to be sound- Then it explained both why all three had the same mechanic, and who they were meant to be used by! A satisfied smile fell across the brunette's face as she became confident in her deduction.

"Eto, a sound quirk, though? Hehe, we don't have a lot of those! Eto, does Farrah-senpai's count? Or Mattimeo-kun?" She named two students whose quirk turned the words they said into constructs... But that wasn't really using the sound, was it?
