So, you’re here to see me work my magic, hm~?
❝ A load of fuss over nothing, how dreadfully bothersome… A heavy sigh escaping the lips of a lady with lilac eyes as she traipsed along the street in a state of annoyance, while she was usually happy to be donning the dazzling little number she had designed as her ‘badge of office’ so to speak as a professional heroine, today Eve Hallows only felt self-conscious and annoyed by the stares that lingered upon her cape-clad shape as she strolled along toward a target that was so uninspiring she could confess to a more than a little foot dragging. Unhappy about the whole state of affairs really, even though she had only just started ‘going straight’ in this game it felt like someone was up her ass already, and not at all in the way that she liked. So I said a few things, it was the heat of the moment?! Shaking her head as she went over the situation she found herself in and the ones that had preceded and led to this, while Miss Hallows could readily confess that there had been times when she had not been her most eloquent and diplomatic when dealing with members of the public, in her mind that felt like it came second to the urgency of the situation. Whatever do they expect when lives are on the line? Emergency situations calling for emergency responses, while this violet vision might have been capable of phrasing things a little bit more kindly when she had the focus to spare, did it matter all that much when she didn’t? Who cared if a few people got their feathers ruffled so long as she was getting results? And that other one, would he have preferred to be pressed into pancaked or something? Really not sure if she was liking this whole hero business after all, while Eve had relished the chance she had to show off and do a little bit of good as she did so while she was a vigilante, the sense of accountability that she had found in taking things down the ‘official’ path was something that was rubbing her up the wrong way far too much. One would think that a few bumps or bruises are a worthy price for saving your life, no? Seeming to spend more of her time dealing with whiners and paperwork than she was going out and saving people’s lives and stopping the bad guys, all too quickly the greener grass that Japan had offered was starting to turn a sickly yellow and make her crave her home once more. Really, at this rate, soon it would only be her pride that stopped her from going back to her parents with her tail tucked between her legs and a stomach full of complaints. Now because of those fatuous fools I forced put up with this dog and pony affair… Whatever the charges were and the reasons to stay not really mattering now that she had opted to face the music, albeit begrudgingly, now Miss had to put up with her punishment, ‘pay her dues’, and hope that her time wasn’t too unbearable, but in that aspect she did not have high hopes. Really, I've been having the most dreadful luck of late, haven't I…? Expected to play second fiddle to someone who supposedly had this whole smile nice for the camera’s and save ass thing down pat, even before meeting her babysitter for the day the lavender-locked lady could guess she was about to meet someone who was going to rub her up in all the wrong ways, as authority figures so often did. Maybe she should have bailed after all? |

❤ Azusa Mifune ❤  ❤ Cute is Justice ❤She was the one who had asked for it. When the committee explained the rules and duties of a pro hero in Japan, the first thing she realized was that hero work here was far more proactive than what she was used to. It had been explained to her before, but nothing beats experiencing it first hand. So today upon her request she was joining a veteran hero on one of their so-called patrols. She had her misgivings, but overall her general feeling was that it was exciting. Who wouldn't be with a new learning experience? Heading toward their designated meeting spot, she found herself adjusting her hat several times or stopping semi-frequently in front of large reflective objects like shop windows to double-check that everything was in order. She was excited but also nervous. This was the first time she was donning her hero outfit in an official capacity here in Japan. It wasn't anything flashy like tights or capes. In fact apart from being slightly more stylish than everyday attire, she could definitely get away with wearing it to a lot of places without anyone realizing it was a costume. But it was comfy, easy to move in and distinct. That's what was important. She may not stand out at first glance, but once she had announced herself, she could be easily identified. That was her overall goal for the design anyway. Her intentions would be communicated well enough. While no exactly recognized her, given she had only gotten her license a few days ago, her look was still enough to turn a few curious heads. But not enough that people had to double take. She was just drawing the typical attention a cute blonde girl in an idol-like outfit would. It was the confidence of youth, they would say. Little did they know, this small girl was actually old enough to drink. Finally arriving where she was supposed to be, she was a little pleased to learn that her colleagues were dressed in way that made them easy enough to recognize. Japan really liked to play up their heroes, was her thought. If she was going to succeed her, she might need to better stand out. Was a change of costume really necessary though? If there was a way to raise her rank from deeds alone, she'd much prefer that. Anyway greetings were in order. They were going to spend some quality time together today so it was best to start off on the right foot. "Hello! I'm the hero, Valentine. Pleased to meet you and looking forward to working with you today!"She waved at first to get their attention and then bowed politely as she gave her introduction. As expected she was the shortest one there, with the others being almost a foot taller. They were definitely higher than the country average whereas she was decisively below it. Not that it was anything new. It was much worse abroad where nearly all her hero acquaintances were over six feet tall. She had stopped being discouraged by that long ago but it did make sense that people with more impressive physiques were the ones who usually aimed to be heroes.  |

This wasn everyday this happened. And what exactly 'this' was? Well, Junko as a veteran was assigned to work with 2 newer heroes. One which was a rookie and another which was a vigilante and thus new to the system. It was Junko's job to ease them in. She arrived pretty much on time. Not too early and certainly not too late at their discussed location. It was funny that the hero commitee assigned Junko for these situations. First they assigned her to work at UA to teach young rowdy children and then they assigned her to a hero group and now they told her to help with new heroes "Did I really look like the teacher type?" she thought to herself
Once they all assembled, one introduced themselves as Valentine.
"Pleased to meet you. You may call me Blue Agate." she then turned to the other person "And what can we call you?" she asked Eve, not really famliar with her or her hero name. They didnt need to chatter a lot, but it was best to get introductions out of the way before they started patrol.
After all, how can they coordinate with one another if they dont know how to call eachother

So, you’re here to see me work my magic, hm~?
❝ Who’s this…? A child that got lost from her tour group or something? The presence of a small figure something that Eve did not expect to discover as she lingered and waited for her supposed ‘mentor’ to turn up for the day, either she hadn’t paid enough attention to the summons to know that she would be sharing this experience with another soul or simply hadn’t been informed of that fact at all, but whatever the reason it led the lavender eyed young lady to some rather wild and mistaken assumptions. I suppose since I’m dressed like this, she might be looking for help? Perhaps her line of thinking not entirely devoid of intelligence however when this strange and seemingly young figure appeared to present herself to her, the gothic gal wrinkled her brow as she remembered what she was wearing and how such an eclectic ensemble probably screamed ‘I am here to help’ in this day and age, and straightened up a little in order to show a little attentiveness to this diminutive damsel in distress. At least until the girl clarified her reason for being here. “O-Oh… Wait, you’re a pro hero?” The news that this little Lolita was the same as her something that left Miss Hallows rather bowled over, as one might guess, those vivid violet irises that she possessed grew wide as this slight shape announced herself as ‘Valentine’, who was apparently a hero just like she was? Astounding really. Is she for real? She looks about eight years old, at best? Without doubt the most shocking thing about the statement that had been made the appearance of this apparent youngster, while it was said both that one should not judge a book by its cover and that the best things came in small packages the dark diva was unable to restrain her impulse to do so, and because of that her brow lifted on one side as she looked this slight soul over. “Aren’t you a little young?” The confusion that Eve felt something that naturally surged from within and found a means to escape via the luscious and glossy set of lips she had, with a dark line arcing above her eye the ebony enchantress tilted her head and stated her suspicion over the situation rather unreservedly, sparing little thought to the feeling of the femme before her as to the assumption that she made. “I mean, I thought that they sent the kids to some kinda… Stuffy institution type affair for future use?” Perhaps there seeming like there might be some kind of truth to the matter when she recalled a little detail of her new home which seemed pertinent to the situation, maybe this was all a big mistake or something and this little lass was meant to be learning the ropes of heroics in some abstract academy out there somewhere, but then that didn’t really explain why she seemed to know to be here, now did it? What an odd turn of events indeed. Oh look, our babysitter for the day has arrived? Unable to focus all that much more on this mysterious lost child that had approached her with ambitions of heroism before a new figure rocked up and this one at least seeming just a little bit more the part, Miss Hallows turned her attention toward a blue-skinned doll with hair buns tied so tight that their centres were probably creating diamonds, and had to admit that she did not find herself all that impressed by what she saw. Or what she knew of the name either. Blue Agate? Can’t say I’ve heard of her… The reputation of their would be mentor certainly not preceding her as far as the ears of this black beauty, the violet eyed vixen ran her eye over the features of the femme silently and thought for a second that this woman might be kind of attractive, but was kind of too uptight to show that off, among other things. Those boots are hot as hell though… Certainly there parts to appreciate about the appearance of this azure skinned figure of authority, her frame and footwear especially, maybe it was because she was here to oversee them but a girl who liked to defy convention like Eve couldn’t help but feel a hint of tension when she felt their teacher for the day breathing down her neck. “Salem.” That perhaps prompting her to be a bit brusque and standoffish in her manner, for the most part the sable siren had found those in positions of power over her to be annoying at best in their overbearing attitudes, and as such she felt herself withdrawing a little before the inevitable clash that would occur between her cheeky self and the usually inflexible force of so-called superiority that she guessed would run a mile deep in someone like this… |

❤ Azusa Mifune ❤ ❤ Cute is Justice ❤Blue Agate was a familiar name even if she hadn't been told who she was meeting today. She had seen the woman's name at least twice before. Once when she happened to look up the hero rankings for Japan. She figured it was important to know the best in the business. The second time was just a few days ago when she visited UA for an orientation. It came up in the conversations that Blue Agate was one of the teachers there. It made a lot of sense. Top heroes were certainly the best people for the job to educate future heroes. And today she would get the chance to work with such a reliable person. What luck. As for the other party, they seemed more surprised than anything to see someone like her joining the little gathering. She laughed slightly. It wasn't anything new to be thought of as looking rather young. In fact she's probably heard it hundreds of times. But has been a while since someone was this blunt about it. Really she just had to clear things up, even though people sometimes don't believe her despite doing so. "Haha, I get that a lot. You know, I'm honestly curious about what hero classes are like. But I don't think they're accepting people who can legally drink and smoke as students."Hopefully the resident teacher didn't find that small joke distasteful. She was ready to apologize just in case. In all honesty she didn't even smoke. As for drinking, well most establishments tend to ask her for two or more IDs just to make sure. Again a small hassle that she had gotten used to by now but totally understandable. Back when she was still abroad the local pubs already knew her face but now that she was back in Japan, she probably needed to go back to carrying multiple IDs again. Not the reason she applied for a pro hero license, but definitely a bonus. The blunt woman introduced herself as Salem. Now this was a name she was hearing for the first time. The caped hero wasn't in any of the top hero rankings she browsed nor in the teacher's roster of UA. The latter was reinforced by the fact that even Blue Agate asked what to call them by. She could only assume that Salem was new to the business as well. For her this was also a stroke of luck. It was hard to use herself as a reference for comparison. But now there was another person she could compare to the top ranked veteran. She found herself grinning at the thought. |

Valentine and Salem, those were the names of her 2 new co-workers. They may be new and less experienced, but that did not mean Junko should treat them with any less respect. Junko doesnt work on assumptions, just because they are new does not mean they suck. They became Pro Heroes for a reason. That means they have skill to back up their new status. What Junko cared about most was attitude. Would these new heroes be good example to the youth or will they be as foul as Redhorn. Because Junko has had enough of simple brawler brutes that lack etiquette. She did not want her students to become that. By the looks of things it seemed that Salem was surprised that Valentine was a Pro Hero. Indeed, Junko could see why. But looks can be deceiving and in the era of Quirks one must expect the unexpected "Trust me, even if you were young, you'd be better off not going there." Junko said because those students were a mess. And even their UA chat was a mess in her opinion.
"Anywho, enough about UA. Before we start to patrol we need to know our strengths our Quirks if we are to be effective in case of some teamwork needed. We need to know what is each person capable of" Junko said. Because now she knew what to call them, but she did not know what they can do. Are they close ranged fighters, long ranged? Support? What do they do?

So, you’re here to see me work my magic, hm~?
❝ Better off not going there? The gothic girl finding her attention piqued at something that their cornflower caretaker confessed, Miss Hallows couldn’t help but wonder why this woman would say something like that in such an admonishing tone, and even though she hadn’t really given the institute much thought thus far she couldn’t help but feel a sense of curiosity over the cause of this. “The futures finest aren’t living up to the task?” The definite implication seeming to reek of disdain and disappointment as far as our dark dish could sense, despite the sarcasm with which she met this sentiment the sable siren couldn’t help but feel a hint of sadness at the assessment they were given, though for some reason she took the news with quite the heavy pinch of salt. After all, this Blue Agate seemed like the sort of chick that she would fail to find much she shared in common with, depth of footwear aside. “My power is pretty versatile…” The chit chat seeming to wrap up rather quickly and curtly however, perhaps a little more so than Eve might have liked ordinarily, with their uninformed ‘coach’ seeming to demand to know what the duo were capable of, show off that she was, the ebony enchantress was more than happy to demonstrate her abilities for her in person. Taking a breath and calling on her quirk in order to let both the blue babysitter and little miss Lolita see what she was capable of, ‘Salem’ activated her quirk a moment later and let her body be suffused with the strange aura that she could create, letting them take in its mysterious magic on its own before using it in a more playful and hopefully more thorough manner once they had done so. “While it’s probably best used at range the options it gives me for strength and mobility can be pretty useful none the less…” Spying a trash can near where they had gathered and narrowing her gaze as she focused upon it, with her hands as her guide the black beauty coerced her quirk to engulf and ensnare her little demonstration aid, and then lifted it into the air to further show what she was capable of. Plucking this commonplace item and elevating it a matter of meters like some kind of magician she began to make it twirl around steadily with one of her mitts before using her other to tilt the axis around, all while keeping the contents contained within the can, before finally placing it back down now that her show was over. For the moment at least. “Outside of that…” Not exactly sure what else she should be letting her fellows in for, since Miss Hollows skillset was largely focused on the adaptable endowment she was given by the ethereal substance she could control she simply shrugged when she was done, and tried to think of something she could add to round out her piece. “…I suppose I’m handy with makeup, and a violin?” Finding herself a little lost for words around a couple of people she didn’t really know and simply offering up a couple of somewhat sardonic additions to her repertoire as she did so, it had to be said that this duo that had been presented to her was not her ideal partnership in either direction, that was for sure. One seeming like some stuffy old librarian in spirit while the other some quiet kiddish type who seemed to be the very definition of the term 'inconsequential', it felt like she was carrying the ‘character’ of their entourage single handedly, and that was not going to make for a fun day for her at all… |

❤ Azusa Mifune ❤ ❤ Cute is Justice ❤Color her surprised when she heard a teacher of all people say those things about UA students. She wondered if Blue Agate was thinking of a specific class or year or UA students as a whole. But the veteran hero would cut the chat about UA there. And Azusa would respectfully comply. Even if Blue Agate had some personal feelings about it, it made sense not to talk much about students so easily for their privacy and security, even if it was among fellow heroes. She could definitely understand that. What came next was also reasonable. A little intro of each other's abilities was needed so that they could better work together today. They did that abroad too. Well it was back at the agency so there was a special training room where they could give demonstrations. Since they were out in public on the street, they would just talk about their Quirks right? Apparently not. In fact it looked like Salem wanted to put on a little show. You could probably describe the expression on her face as slight disbelief as she watched her fellow hero play with an unwitting trashcan to give an idea of what their quirk could do. Hopefully that didn't scare or startle any people who were walking close by. She was almost afraid to look around if there was anyone watching. Were Japan heroes really this casual about Quirk use? From reading the pile of hero manuals she got from the local agency, they seemed even much stricter than abroad. So she wasn't expecting something this flashy. When the demonstration ended, she clapped lightly but was somewhat forcing a smile. The day barely started and she was already caught off guard by the happenings. It was her turn now, but she had no intention of doing something similar. In more ways than one, doing something of that level would be such a 'waste' in her case. "My Quirk is called Chocoholic. Basically I can create and control chocolate."She held out her hand before them, focusing for a bit. Suddenly three pieces of heart-shaped bite-size chocolates would materialize one by one on her palm. One was dark chocolate. The other was milk chocolate. And the last piece was white chocolate. All of which looked like the typical high quality kind you would find sold in a fancy store. "Please take whichever you like. I guarantee they're one of if not the best chocolate you would ever have~"She smiled gleefully. Whether it was with her Quirk or using her own skills, Azusa was proudest when making chocolates and had the utmost confidence in them. Today's samples were based on a recent work she did that got an honorable mention back in France. She would wait until they each got one before eating the remaining one herself. "I have an official certification that my Quirk is safe for consumption and actually nutritious. But I guess that's not so important on a patrol. Back when I was doing hero work in Germany, my main role was providing support by creating constructs with my Quirk. They're quite sturdy despite being made of chocolate, but I tend to stay away from heat and fires cause the chocolate would end up melting."Hopefully that explanation was enough despite being unable to give an actual demo. She didn't like to use her Quirk unnecessarily because it doesn't just disappear after use. There's quite a bit of cleanup involved. Chocolate stains were no joke. It was Blue Agate's turn now. And of course she was quite excited to learn what kind of Quirk a top hero had. The veteran hero was blue, so maybe she had ice powers? She would love to be teamed up with an ice person since that would help with her weakness to heat. |

Junko nodded as she didnt feel like sugarcoating the facts "Hmm well it depends how you ask. Power wise they indeed do. Maturity wise.... no. Flat out no. Even some of the Pros are immature. Take Redhorn again for example. Now I scrutinize her a lot, because she is the number 1 hero and she is supposed to act as an example, a role model to the youth. Not like a battle hungry hooligan like the rest of the immature children. Yes sure, she stops crime and is powerful, but that doesnt make her any better then the number 1 Villain and Vigilante, who are also 2 powerful battle hungry men. In a Hero, I look for a role model who is disciplined, who will teach the youth to make smart decisions. Someone who will cheer up troubled people in harder times. Someone who will tell people that even if they have a powerful quirk, they shouldnt pick fights. Someone to inspire children to go on the right path. Redhorn personally doesnt give me that feeling. And the children at UA? Well, they are immature puberty hormone driven children who think they are the toughest people in the universe. Also there is the" she scrunched her nose in disguist for a moment "The Fame Factor. Where they want fame. A Pro Hero job is supposed to be a thankless job. I for example do not care about fame. Being a Hero is like being a servant of the people. You serve and protect them. I dislike heroes who are in it for the fame, otherwise they're just villains, but with extra steps. And as for the children at UA. I would say only 1 is capable of being a real Hero." Junko said it all matter of factly. She was very specific when it came to Pro Heroes and she was very strict with the UA children. She had high standards and the children didnt live up to those standards. This was something she told her two junior heroes in a way as a lesson to them, to set them on the right path. They should be beacons of hope. Not Vigilantes with a document and a paper to legalize them. They should be better then that.
But once that was out of the way. Junko spoke once again, this time about their quirks and power, for better teamwork and uniformity. These two probably expected her to look over them. But between the UA brats and her own hero work paperwork, she really could not keep an eye on every paper she got. So if she got info about her fellow heroes, she either missed it or forgot it. Either way, Junko liked to hear them speak in person. The way they describe themselves, their quirks and everything gives Junko a chance to learn what kind of a person they were. Salem said her Quirk was versatile. Hmm, charming.
And then there was the young looking hero Valentine who said she can control chocolate and she performed her quirk by creating chocolate. Junko picked up the milk chocolate.
"Interesting. Both of you." she said and nodded.
"My Quirk is called Hoarder Gem, it allows storage. I can store and withdraw items in my gemstone" she soon demonstrates and stores the milk chocolate in her gemstone that is in the back of her head.
After everyone explained their quirks. Junko waited to see if anyone had any questions of Q&A. If anyone had questions, Junko would answer them. But if no one had any questions. The trio would start to patrol the streets of Musutafu. This was going to be an interesting experience

So, you’re here to see me work my magic, hm~?
❝ Chocolate…? Cancelling her little demonstration when her ‘turn’ was over in order to preserve her stamina, as the diminutive little darling in the group showed off her own skill Miss Hallows couldn’t help but lift her brow at what she saw, unsure of what she was to make of such an odd little skill. Well I suppose it’s in keeping with her sugar and everything nice kind of vibe…? On the one hand it seeming innocuous enough and non-threatening so it wasn’t much of a danger, those very same factors also seemed to make the power feel rather underwhelming as something meant to combat the so called bad guys, and honestly it made sense to the dark dish why this young woman had been relegated to the substitute bench in her experience thus far because of it. Maybe she had a good heart but that did not look like the kind of skill that would be stopping Yakuza bosses any time soon, that was for sure. “I’m good. Thanks though, Valentine.” Appreciative at least of the generosity when it seemed as if the little Valentine was trying to offer her produce to her but refusing it all the same, while Eve didn’t mind a nice bit of bitter and rich dark chocolate to eat when reading a book or watching a horror movie at home, this was one occasion when she didn’t like the idea of stomaching such an item and that was largely because of where it came from. That meaning no disrespect to the lil chocolatier but the notion of eating something that came from the body of another person seeming to straddle a line that cut between eroticism and disgust, it just seemed weird to eat something like that to her, like a kind of intimacy that she couldn’t help but feel unprepared for, and made her rather uncomfortable at the prospect. Which was weird given how permissive she was in most areas usually. “I dunno, Redhorn seems like something of a badass if you ask me?” Naturally the first person to object when their not so merry mentor seemed to single out the top pro hero as an example of everything that was supposedly wrong with the whole set up toward this new trend in society, Miss Hallows wasn’t entirely whether this was because of a strong sense of affection for the woman that stood on high in the Japanese charts or she just wished to behave in a fashion that was contrary to this stuffy woman with a bee in her bonnet, but for whichever reason she opted to defend the honour of her ‘better’ on this occasion. “I mean I’ve heard of her, she seems to be kicking the ass of the forces of evil, and she’s kinda hot as well if you ask me?” Seeming to have plenty of reasons to respect that brawny beast as well, even though the ego of the ebony enchantress meant she felt a hint of rivalry toward the blonde beauty who thus far she had yet to meet it felt satisfying to defy the claim of this dedicated follower of discipline, and the siren from Seattle couldn’t help but smirk as she did so, and found herself hoping that she might get a rise out of their babysitter in order to continue the debate a bit further. “Well, I like the fame.” Quickly seeming to realize that she couldn’t have been assigned a ‘leader’ who was more opposed to her own ideals, as Blue Agate quite categorically denounced those who took up heroism because of their interest in popular renown Eve felt a hint of defensiveness on the issue, and not just because she seemed to seek a little conflict with this pompous old maid. “I can do amazing things, and some people like that? Why should I be ashamed of showing people what I can do? Why should I feel bad that I like attention?” In no way feeling like her interest in being well known and her ambition of achieving some form of celebrity status was any kind of bad thing, to the mind of this gorgeous gothic girl the issue was nothing to feel guilty about, and was only the same as some kind of sports star profiting from their popularity. Better even, since heroes would be getting their attention by doing good. “I’ve had plenty of people in my life tell me what I am is… Well, to put it politely; not a good thing.” There also something of a personal reason that Miss Hallows refused to acknowledge the supposed evil that this supercilious old trout espoused in her desire to denounce those who sought a wealth of recognition from what they were doing, while the dark diva had no idea about what the others had experienced in their life as a quirker from her own experience she knew that things weren’t always rosy happy days, and more than a few were happy to hate her just for being different from them. “So why should I shy away from the people who think it’s wonderful?” This why she felt like she was perfectly justified in wanting to get a little appreciation and acknowledgement for how awesome she was, while it would have been a lie if the ebony enchantress denied the idea that her drive wasn’t in part due to her ego, it also wasn’t entirely undeserved either. Was it really so wrong for her to want a part of the world to like her, and make her feel like she was loved? |

❤ Azusa Mifune ❤ ❤ Cute is Justice ❤She was definitely a teacher was Azusa's thought as she listened to Blue Agate's thorough explanation of why she believed most of the students in UA were not up to par with the veteran hero's standards. For the longest time maturity was a touchy subject for her as well. Though in her case it was more of the physical aspect. Plenty of challenges she had growing up were exacerbated by her unassuming appearance. Admittedly, her youthful and sometimes playful nature didn't exactly help her case. But she could at least vouch for discipline and diligence as something all heroes need. She didn't know enough about this Red Horn and the so-called top villains and vigilantes so it would be impossible for her to give an informed opinion on their example. But on the point of being battle hungry versus showing some restraint and moderation, she was of course in favor of the latter. It was just hard to actually say anything cause all she had to go by were Blue Agate's and Salem's accounts. As someone who has faced harsh criticisms all her life, she knew better than most the weight of passing judgment on someone, and she didn't have that right here. The second point raised by Blue Agate had to do with fame. This was a little more controversial. She agreed that people shouldn't be heroes solely for that reason. But there might have been a bit of prejudice there on the veteran's part. Someone could only be famous if they were really doing a lot of good things right? If it was fame for the right reasons then it wasn't inherently bad. Were there heroes who were famous for less than ideal things? She imagined anyone who wasn't performing acceptably would be reined in by the government. This was all so complex and she didn't really want to think and debate about it. As for her little gift, she was of course quite happy that Blue Agate accepted one but was a bit disheartened that Salem declined. She wondered if it was because they didn't like sweets. Anyway she would end up eating the last two pieces herself so that they wouldn't go to waste. As far as she was concerned, Salem was definitely missing out. Moving on to the next demonstration, Blue Agate's quirk was interesting. It was very simple but the utility was endless. As someone who worked with a lot of tools in the kitchen, a storage quirk would be an amazing thing to have. In her mind, the veteran hero was probably well-equipped for any situation with a quirk like that. Now Blue Agate did say to ask questions if they had any, but in Azusa's opinion, Salem seemed like she wanted to start a whole debate on the topic earlier. She had been glad to have two very different references today, but if they were just gonna waste time clashing like this, then it sort feels like the whole thing backfired. She definitely didn't want the day to be a bust before they could even actually start. "I don't know if there really is a right way to be a hero. I feel like there are many different perspectives there. But I do agree that they should be responsible and mature."
"As for fame, I'd like to think that it just comes naturally? I don't think there's anything wrong with feeling good about it. If you continue to just do honest and diligent work as a hero then it will come your way. What's important is that fame should be for the right reasons, yes?"It wasn't the best attempt at trying to find a middle ground, but she didn't really excel in this sort of thing. In fact she was slightly worried that she might have sounded a bit naive there. Well it's not like she was hiding that she was still on the green side when it comes to pro hero things in the Japanese scene. That's what she was here for today after all. But she didn't want to spend the day just standing around and talking. "Shall we go on ahead? What's the first agenda for today? Well, after introductions I mean. I must confess I'm still pretty new to this patrol thing." |

Junko decided to abandon the topic of fame a just told Salem "Lets agree to disagree. We both have our point of views, our experiences and our opinions. There is no need to bicker who is right and wrong. We are not children" or she hopes they aint children. Meanwhile with Valentine, Junko just said a polite "Thank you"
If they stayed on the fame topic, they'd talk for hours and hours on end. And they wouldnt get anywhere. Daylights burning and it was time to go. Valentine being bright as she is even suggested so
"Indeed. We should go and patrol" she said agreeing with the young looking hero
Once it was established that all 3 are ready. They started to walk and patrol one route of Musutafu. Junko as usual had her eyes everywhere, observing her surroundings making sure there was peace in the area, but also glancing at the two newer heroes to see if they were handling it well. Did they have questions? Needed tips or hints? Could they multitask. Hmm, she wondered. But she trusted their skills and didnt want to hand hold them and belittle them. Surely if they needed any help or advice, they would ask

So, you’re here to see me work my magic, hm~?
❝ “To each their own, yes…” Certainly happy to keep laying out truth bombs and the odd cutting word if the occasion called for it but the apparent discomfort of the chocolate chica enough to stifle the wordy rampage of Miss Hallows for the moment, though perhaps a part of her wanted to keep this argument going for the sake of getting on with something more interesting and Valentine as well the black beauty opted to drop the subject, though she did find herself surprised and almost disappointed by one thing. Expected this snooty old bag to put up more of a fight? Their blustery blue mentor seeming like she had been so full of words and opposition a second or so ago then suddenly seeming to lose her steam when someone challenged her, even though it was probably better in the long run that they didn’t start their day off together with a big argument at the same time the fact that Agate didn’t stick to her guns felt like something of an anti-climax, and even if the dark delight might not have agreed with her point she probably would have respected her a bit more if she had the grit to defend her opinion rather than just brush away a challenge to it. “I suppose we should hop to it then?” Regardless of this fact the destiny of their day seeming to involve them getting on with the task that had been laid out before them, even though Eve was not exactly thrilled at the prospect of spend the day swaggering around the streets with this apparently judgemental senior she opted to go with the flow rather than try to upset it for the time being, and hoped that wandering around with this pair might at least lead her to some kind of trouble that she could take care of and prove that she really didn’t need this whole babysitting day at all. “So, where might we be headed, Blue Agate?” With that in mind eager to get things underway and even stepping off in the lead of their little triumvirate, the gothic girl flicked her hair as she marched forward and then shot a glance toward their fearless leader to see where exactly she wanted them to patrol around, subtly conceding the fact that at the very least their stuffy mentor would know the area better than she did due to her endowment of experience even if that was all she would give up for the moment… |

❤ Azusa Mifune ❤ ❤ Cute is Justice ❤She let out a sigh of relief as the discussion resolved itself peacefully. Well, as peaceful as it could anyway. It was clear that they had different views, but this was not the time nor place. Speaking of place, the Musutafu area wasn't one that she frequented so she was basically at the mercy of her colleagues here in terms of deciding where to go. She was content with just walking alongside them. As expected it seemed she really was the newest one here. Salem was more concerned about where they were headed meanwhile Azusa still didn't quite know what a proper patrol entailed besides walking around. And so she would use this chance to ask her own questions. It hadn't been too long since she was a student so learning something new felt very familiar. "So what exactly is the purpose of a patrol? Does trouble really happen so often that pro heroes in Japan always need to be on the ground to respond to incidents more quickly?"For her it gave off the impression that the city streets were unsafe on average. This was still Tokyo so police boxes could be found every district or so. That practice hasn't really changed. But to have heroes patrolling on top of that, she was not sure just how necessary that practice was or if it served other purposes. For instance, a deterrent to anyone who might think of making trouble. Maybe it was even a political thing? Citizens felt more at ease with the government if government sponsored heroes were out and about perhaps. Of course her intention wasn't to question or protest why they do it. But she did want to understand. After all they didn't really do this when she was a hero abroad. "Sorry if it's kind of a basic question. I just know it's part of hero duties but that's it."Naturally they would also get involved if something happened. But that was a given. |

As much as she would like to bicker with some newbies, now was not the time. As a senior she should be an example and standing there and arguing would be a bad example. It was her fault for getting it started in the first place. Junko would rather resign then become one of those haughty celeb heroes. While they argued there was crime being commited somewhere in the world.
So now that they ended their foolish behaviour it was time to go. Thus they started to walk and patro. Salem asking where were they going "Patrol: to go around an area or a building to see if there is any trouble or danger" she answweered both Valentine and Salems questions, but then she turned to Salem "We are going around an area making sure there is no trouble afoot, thus we do not have a set destination." Junko said and kept her answer short. Normally she would answer longer and explain things and why. But they wasted enough time.
Although she did turn to Valentine to answer another question 'Does trouble really happen so often that pro heroes in Japan always need to be on the ground to respond to incidents more quickly?'
"In regards to your 2nd question Valentine. Yes, yes it does. We can never predict when crime happens. But there was one time that a student got assualted by a powerful villain, right in this street. And they kindapped her along with..." she sighed "A terrible thing happened and all because a student wanted to go to school. We can never know when crime strikes nor where it will strike. But that is why we must remain vigilant"
Valentine apologized for her lack of knowledge, but Junko just nodded and assured her it was alright. Questions are to be asked, after all
