Hideyo wasn't particularly excited to be suddenly thrust into a battle against a pro-hero; let alone one of his own teachers. And to top it all off, he was going to be teaming up with multiple fellow students. He had arrived at this prestigious UA and from the moment he had crossed over their threshold, he was in combat. He wasn't sure what he was supposed to actually be learning, because he spent three quarters of his time fighting. But at the very least, it kept him on his toes, taught him to analyze each unique situation, and to be aware of his surroundings. Perhaps the upcoming battle was a way to teach teamwork? He had gotten lost in his own line of thinking as he pondered what a battle against Ruby Heart would be like. What were the parameters of this contest? Were the students expected to win or fail? If they failed, would they be thrown out? His stomach twisted into a knot, and Hideyo could feel himself spiraling. He had to shake off this feeling and maintain his smile. Hopefully one of his teammates would initiate discussion while he played a support role.

──── ⋆⋅✦⋅⋆ ──── "Hey~ Welcome to the class! Name's Ayane, it's nice to mee--WAH!" Rika couldn't really help but snicker a tiny bit as she watched the girl fall down onto the ground suddenly, it would've startled her, but... It was hard to not see that coming, with how far back Ayane had propped herself up. It would've been more surprising if she hadn't of fallen there. After a quick tilt of her head back to make sure that Ayane got up just fine and not injured, but she seemed to pick herself up just fine. Before she could reply though... “If you’re interested, I lead a yoga club on the roof during lunch hour. Well it’s just Omuro-san and I, but please feel free to join if you’re looking for something to do!” She hadn't even noticed that someone was approaching her there! She blinked for a moment as she turned to Ren, a small smile on her face as she nodded her head gently, rubbing at her neck, "Oh, thank you! I know I'm lucky to be here, so hopefully it doesn't turn out to be a mistake." She sighed, before humming gently, "...Yoga, huh? I might check it out sometime. 'long as I don't have to skip lunch for it." Before much more could happen, the substitute began to speak up once again, and... "At the end of this week, you all will be doing a team-based exam, it says. It says here that you all are going to be facing off in teams of four against staff of the school… that seems a bit excessive…" Rika blinked for a moment, her skin starting to turn a shade of orange slowly as she let her fingers fidget around with a pencil on her desk. She just got here. She wasn't ready to go fighting the teachers, was she? After all, she wasn't quite good enough earlier, she missed what all they had been doing before, she definitely wasn't going to be involved considering these were kinda important factors. Plus, she didn't even know these classmates at all. They were all relatively new to each other too, of course, but she was literally brand new! How would she work with them effectively if she hardly knew any of them in the first place? At least they had some prep time. But anyway! I'm gonna go ahead and list off the teams now, so that you all can get to know each other better ahead of time, and make plans for the end of the week!" The first team was the Omuro girl that Ren just mentioned. The girl who introduced herself with some extra english, someone she hadn't been introduced to properly, and... Another that she didn't know yet. That didn't give her much to work with. The next group she actually knew most of them.! Takehiko, the one Sun said he would protect, Ren himself, a name she didn't quite recognize, and floor girl. Then... Her group. Sun was a good one to have probably, he seemed very... Honest about wanting to keep people safe, and he seemed strong. She wasn't excessively strong herself... But the other two? She hadn't met them yet, and... Despite Sun seeming strong, she didn't really know anyone's Quirk so far. She was going to have to get caught up quickly, she wasn't going to drag them down on this... Before she realized it, she brought her bright orange hand up into the air, looking towards Dreadbolt as she did, "Ah... Does the sheet say anything about whether we're expected to actually win? With a numbers advantage, I get the idea of us holding up at least a bit, but... Winning seems like a long shot any way I look at it." ──── ⋆⋅✦⋅⋆ ────
