Anri's been slowly becoming more of a fixture at UA High - a sort of strange cryptid that hangs around the 1-A kids. Sometimes she helps with Foundational Heroics, using her frankly overpowered shadow Quirk to construct training dummies and structures to help with Quirk training.

Today, however, she's just serving as an intermediary for an international pro to assist in some classwork - a hero from France named Amelie Amaryllis-White.

(Amelie has found it is remarkably simple to get a hero license when you have the right connections.)

Amelie is smiling as she addresses the class.

"Bonjour! It is an honor to meet all of you, my name is Amelie Amaryllis-White. I'm here today to show you why you need to be cultivating a deeper relationship with your fellow students in the Support course. As such, we'll be having a series of sparring matches. You are allowed to use your full capabilities; meanwhile, I will be relying totally on a variety of support items. If you can force me to use my Quirk, that will count as a win for you!"

Smiling, she pulls out a golden belt shaped like a lock and a pair of keys. Wrapping the belt around her waist, she presses a button on the side of the lock.

SHUT THE DOOR!

Holding up the keys, she inserts each one into the side of the lock-belt, turning them to the side and producing an audible click as the lock closes.

DIAMOND! UNICORN!

She raises her right hand in front of her face, showing off the pink diamond embedded there, and sweeps her arm to the side with a cry of "Henshin!" as golden bubbles of energy rise up around her, popping and fizzing like a flute of champagne.

HOLDING BACK! THE RESTRAINED ELEGANCE!

When the light show is over with, Amelie is wearing a white bodysuit with pink-gold accents. Her feet, hands, and chest are covered in light, flexible-looking armor with the same pink-gold color of her belt, and covering her head is a sleek helmet with two large, compound 'eyes' set beneath a small, spiraling horn. Placing her right hand over her heart, she does a little bow before striking a pose.

"Kamen Rider Yuri, standing back!"

With a flourish, she produces a slim rapier that mimics the design of the horn on her helmet, gesturing with her free hand.

"Who would like to try first?"

"I question why we didn't do that sooner, but then I haven't even figured this was a thing," said Mina, as she got up and got some range before firing a shot of acid at Amelie.

Tooru, who had ducked out of range once her location had been giving up, checked the fabric. It was incredibly hard to tear from a quick check and durable. "Huh," she said. "I can work with this."

"She was firing nearly three thousand metal swords at twice the speed of sound. Per second."

Anri completely ignores whatever commotion her statement made to look at Izuku.

"But...yes. If it's you, I get the feeling you'd survive. I wouldn't fall in love with a man of any less than top quality, after all."

Berry calls out from the sidelines.

"I made that from seawater! It's a little bit conductive but it's got good tensile strength!"

Amelie, meanwhile, spins around, the glowing tips of her wings creating a surge of air to deflect the acid.

Izuku's reply is a strangled "uh huh" as he manages to re-focus on the fight, that mental image now burned into his brain.

"Nice," remarked Tooru, moving silently to another position to make an attack on Amelie, leaping out at her from the side to grab onto that wing of hers to drag her down while Mina slid to the side to avoid her own acid -- not that she would be hurt by it.

Anri covers her mouth with one hand and giggles at the reaction.

Mm, yes. Top quality.

Amelie dips down from the sudden weight of Toru on her wing but reacts instantly, detaching the shield and rolling towards Mina. Instead of kicking out or trying to stand up, however, she throws herself at Mina's legs, intending on knocking her down.

Mina's surprised by the downwards tackle, and is taken down from the legs as Tooru topples backwards. She hits the ground rolling as she exclaims, "Mina!"

"I'm okay!" Exclaimed Mina, falling backwards.

"I mean, this is Midoriya. He's constantly defying our expectations," ribbed Momo.

Amelie kips up into a handstand and flips forward, mounting Mina and holding her down with the full weight of her body.

DIAMOND! UNICORN!
HOLDING BACK! THE RESTRAINED ELEGANCE!

As Amelie hits the button on her Driver, she has a view of the sparkling light from where her wingbow just finished fading away.

CHAINED HEAT! GROWING SABER!!

Wasting no time, she plunges the spinning drill her rapier's become into the ground, being careful to maintain distance from Mina's body. Green light starts to spill from the hole she's just stabbed into the floor, forming into glowing roots that lash out towards where Toru landed, seeking to bind the invisible girl even as her acid-slinging partner is cocooned as well.

Nod nod.

There's a long pause as Amelie activates her Driver in the fight against Ochako and Kirishima. Chained Heat, hm.

"...no wonder one of her old nicknames was The Useless Lesbian."

...well, at least she said that softly enough that only Izuku and Momo could hear her.

"... I'm beginning to sense a pattern in the belt design," uttered Momo.

"Huh? What do you mean?" asked Izuku.

"I'll tell you later Midoriya," said Momo, feeling suddenly awkward.

"Probably a good idea."

Anri has learned there is no profit in talking about that kind of stuff anywhere near Mineta.

Pinned to the ground and the wall, Tooru called out, "Give?"

"Give!" Exclaimed Mina. "I think we'll give this fight."

"Who voiced it by the way?" asked Momo. "The voice sounds like Robert Downey Jr."

"The actor? Or.. wait, did they get Mr. Stark to do the voice lines?" said Izuku.

"Probably Mr. Stark. He was definitely one of the collaborators."

Amelie nods and removes both keys from her Driver.

AFTERCARE!

The suit and the binding roots vanish into light as Amelie rotates both arms, stretching out before offering Mina a hand up.

"There's a cooldown period after that many Chained Heats, give it a couple minutes before the next set."

With that said, she looks over Mina and Toru.

"Alright! Now, as far as Support items go...Mina, I'm assuming your acid isn't produced ex nihilo? Find someone that specializes in chemistry to analyze it, and you should be able to get portable containers made to store it. Other than that, look into basic martial arts training. How to fall without injuring yourself, the proper way to make a fist, that sort of thing. Toru, the first thing you should do is get an actual outfit; I can make it invisible for you but you need some kind of armor. If you really want to focus on stealth, your best bet is training in how to move silently and how to use sleeper holds. Your gloves are actually quite thick, so you can probably fit something like a taser or a set of lockpicks in there as well."

Tooru reclaimed her gloves and shoes, and rubbed her head a little. "I've never really had to deal with clothing that would go invisible on me, so it never made any sense to wear armor but... if you think it would make a difference...?"

From the sidelines, Aizara called out, "Talk to Midnight on that. She can get you enrolled in the classes you need for things like that."

Mina on the other hand nodded. "Cool, I'll definitely get the support team to look at my acid. Maybe I'll be able to figure out who can work on that for me."

"From what I know of Mr. Stark, he would probably have no shame in these lines," murmured Momo.

Amelie takes a deep breath and places both hands on Toru's shoulders, silently using her illusion powers to surround herself in shoujou sparkles and flowers while giving Toru her best 'refreshing smile of an elegant older woman'.

"You're a beautiful young woman with a full life ahead of you. Isn't it common sense that the people around you would be happier if you took measures to keep your lovely skin from becoming scarred?"

"Amelie-sensei...!" Tooru sparkled right back, all fluffy bunies and kitties.

Holy crap this was like... the resurgence of Useless Lesbian 2.0.

"You're right! I need to wear better armor! Maybe a leather outfit, to keep myself from being cut up."

"It's the shameless ones you have to watch out for."

Anri briefly thinks of the Jolly Pope.

"They'll do things like mass-produce cursed bibles or hold orgies in your attic or build giant lewd statues in front of your house."

"Sure, the Giant Lewd Statue thing eventually worked out alright, but seriously who builds a fifty-foot-tall statue of their god and makes it anatomically accurate so that anyone who gets close enough can look up the skirt?"

Anri. Anri your inner monologue is not inner. THEY CAN ALL HEAR YOU ANRI. THEY HEARD EVERYTHING FROM CURSED BIBLES ONWARD.

"I uh... that's strange and odd I'm sorry?" said Izuku, not sure what to say.

That's the spirit! Amelie's smile turns into a grin and she laughs a little before placing a hand on Toru's head and ruffling her hair a bit.

"You have a beautiful smile, Toru."

"At least I don't have to deal with him any more now that I...moved...here..."

Pause.

"I said all that. Out loud."

WELP.

TIME TO MELT INTO A LITTLE PUDDLE. LITERALLY.
