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?"

The wings of her bow retract and Amelie holds the shield over her head, catching the rock and flinging it off to the side.

“Very good! You’re compensating for your weakness at long range! But it won’t be sustainable in the long term, you need to figure out a way to make use of it without property damage!”

She lashes out with a kick and slips past Ochako, heading for Kirishima with a shield strike.

Kirishima released his rooted stance as he charged forward, arms still covered with ridges as he knew he was a close in specialist. His mind raced as he followed Uraraka's lead as he grinned. "Property damage is all well and good, but utilizing what you've got is another thing, right, sensei?"

Swinging his arm forward to meet Amelie's shield strike, Kirishima also took the opportunity to notice Uraraka who had gotten up. Their eyes met and she nodded, as she kicked off a car door which had been laying as part of the Random Debris as she shot it at Amelie's back.

But this one wasn't meant to hit her, as he caught it in his swinging arm as he swung it to meet the shield head on with his impromptu shield.

The recoil from the impact knocks Amelie's arm away, and rather than waste precious seconds getting her shield back into position she spins into a pirouette that puts her halfway between the two students. Taking out two more keys, she slots them into place.

MOONSTONE! EARTH PONY!
HOLDING BACK! THE ENERGETIC STRENGTH!

The red highlights change color to seafoam green, and her shield is replaced with a pair of gauntlets that resemble hooves.

"Both of you can make most effective use of your Quirks when you're close in, and you can make effective use of teamwork to gain an advantage. Right now, your greatest weakness is that neither of you had a way to keep me in place."

Amelie very deliberately hits the button that activated her belt in the first place.

CHAINED HEAT!

She slams her gauntlets together and drops into a boxing stance, the weapons starting to glow.

GIGANTIC KNUCKLE!!

As she starts to punch, the gauntlets grow in size until they're larger than either Uraraka or Kirishima, still glowing with the golden light of her belt.

"She's got a point," said Kirishima as he held up his impromptu shield, the dented car door held defensively as Uraraka closed the gap between her fingertips, gauging her next move. "We don't have a net or anything..."

Looking around, Uraraka frowned for a moment at their surroundings. Property damage was meant to be kept to a low, even with the scattered debris. And yet, she was still making notes on the terrain as she said, "Kirishima-kun, hold her attention for ten seconds, I've got an idea!"

"You got it!" Exclaimed Kirishima as he armored up even further, becoming more spikey as he crouched low for a frontal assault. Charging in, he met Amelie's moves with a standard one-two boxing combo, fists up with the shield augmenting his defense.

In the meantime, Uraraka scanned the area before she noticed a torn, broken lamppost and a fallen flag. Going over to it, she undid the rope. "Mm, this might work," she said, taking the flag and a length of the cord.

MOONSTONE! PEGASUS!
HOLDING BACK! THE ENERGETIC WINGS!

Snapping the shield instantly into the bow mode, Amelie sweeps Kirishima's legs out and hits the button again.

CHAINED HEAT!

The bow detaches from Amelie's arm and grows in size until it resembles a longbow. Dashing forward, she hooks one foot underneath Kirishima's body and kicks him into the air before pulling back on the bow.

GIGANTIC ARROW!!

The result: an arrow of golden light the approximate size of All Might is fired at Ochako. Don't worry, though! Kirishima's body is functioning as the arrowhead, so it's just going to be blunt force damage!

Kirishima is surprised by the move, and he exclaims, "WHOA!" as he's launched at Ochako. He doesn't have much room to respond but he knows that he has to lessen the impact against Ochako who was grabbing the fallen flag and the rope.

Bringing up the door, he diverted his hardening so that he would be less rigid across the arms and legs and more shock absorbant across the body. "Heads up!" he yelled at Ochako, knowing he had no way to move.

"I got you!" Exclaimed Ochako, her hands already in motion as she lightened the flag. Her hands touched again and she took the impact full force, but her hands clamped down onto Kirishima's sides, activating her Zero-G onto him. At the same time, she loosened the grip on the flag and held the ties of the flag still mounted on it, making a makeshift drag net which slowed the attack considerably to allow them to slam into a building with a dull crash instead of a loud fabulous impact.

"You okay?" asked Ochako.

"I should be asking you that!" Exclaimed Kirishima, getting up. The pair looked at one another and then grinned, swapping objects as Ochako released the Zero-G on everything before lightening the car door and Kirishima brandished the flag like a net.

"Hey, Amelie-sensei, thanks for the tips!" Exclaimed Ochako as they squared up again.

Amelie chuckles, just a little.

"Tenacious, aren't you!"

She quickly swaps out the Moonstone Key for the Amazonite Key, but instead of placing the shield on her arm, it goes on her back, right between her shoulder blades. Kicking off the ground, the wings spread, and she starts to gently float.

"Just a little advice and you're already compensating! But look at what you're using! A car door, random chunks of rock, a tattered flag! Wouldn't these tactics be easier if you had things actually intended for the purpose? That's what I'm teaching!"

"You mean like support items," said Kirishima, looking at his stuff. "A actual shield for Uraraka and maybe some long range stuff for the two of us..."

"And a net or like a capture cape like how Momo made during her exam," said Uraraka, realization dawning on her face.

Amelie applauds.

"Oui! Parfaite!"

She shakes out her right hand as she says this and casts a minor spell, causing little bursts of light to appear. Placing her hand on the cheek of her helmet, her head tilts to one side.

"Ah, look at that, I got so excited I used my Quirk. It's your win!"

The pair hi-fived as they swapped places with Hagakure and Mina, the pair stepping up to the plate. The invisible girl and the acid producer, standing at the starting area.

"Mina, got your earpiece in?" said Hagakure, and Mina nodded.

"Got it in, just say the word." said Mina.

There was a invisible nod. "All right. Okay sensei, we're ready! Let's do this! Go Mina!"

Mina's soles bursting with slime, she raced forward as Hagakure slipped away to the side, ditching her shoes and gloves as she did so, to melt into the shadows.

"Ah, I see! On point, we have a flamboyant and colorful distraction, while the stealthy one circles around from behind for an ambush, oui?"

Well, that's fine too. Amelie swoops down towards Mina, the tips of her wing-bow glowing gold.

"But! I must say...does Toru even need this lesson? She already has invisible clothes, she must understand how useful Support items are!"

"Uh..." chorused the entire class as one as Mina actually faltered in her attack, stumbling headlong into Amelie.

Faceplanted headlong into Amelie's chestplate, she mutters out, "Tooru's naked."

Izuku exploded from the sidelines. "QUESTIONMARK?"!

"I THOUGHT YOU KNEW!" Screeched Mineta.

There's a long, long pause.

"Is that legal? Who signed off on letting a teenager fight naked."

"Technically it falls under the costume nudity and awareness act," said Tooru from Amelie's shoulder. "But the thing is, I'm already invisible, so it doesn't count as public nudity. But you see, there's no current technology that actually works with my Quirk. Everything's too loud, or doesn't blend in with my body at all. I'm unable to be invisible while wearing clothing."

"Technically it's on the grey boundaries of personal choice legal," said the caterpillar that was Aizawa in the background. "But Support has been trying to come up with something that would help Hagakure for months to no avail. So we've been working on her stealth as a result. Not as a front-liner."

There's a pause as Amelie snaps her fingers and immobilizes Toru with a simple spell.

"Time out."

Making a gesture with her right hand, she brings up the DDD menu and shoots off a message.

Right afterwards, Berry steps out, holding some fabric.

"Delivery!"

Amelie points at Toru, and Berry tilts her head to side before nodding. Walking forward, she throws the cloth around Toru, revealing it be a light blue sundress. That done, she walks off to the side to watch the rest of the match.

Amelie, meanwhile, casts another spell, and the sundress turns invisible.

"Okay, you're wearing clothes now, time in."

"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."

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.

"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.

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.

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.

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

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

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."
