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?"

Hm! Now this might be tricky! Amelie summons the Earth Knuckles and slams them together, producing a golden shockwave.

"Honestly, you're one of the ones I'll have trouble dealing with, Tenya! I can only match your sheer speed with my Quirk, after all, so I'm going to have to rely on my excellent dynamic vision and quick reflexes to keep up with you!"

With that, she drops the Earth Knuckles, the weapons shifting to mold themselves to her armored feet.

"Yuri Earth - Shoot Style!"

[buildingblocks]

Tenya grinned under his helmet as he exclaimed, "Then I hope I'll give you a challenge! Reciprocal Burst!"

His leg engines firing, he swung into a double axe kick, aiming for Amelie's forearm as Momo circled, swinging around to her other side to clash her tonfa with a shout.

[onaroll]

Amelie simply backflips out of the way, landing on her hands and lashing out at both teens with a pair of kicks that show off that 1: she is extremely flexible, and 2: her skintight bodysuit does at least leave a little to the imagination.

"Weaknesses! Momo, given the things you make, you cannot be totally relying on lipids for your Quirk, you know that, right? You simply don't have the bodymass for that! And Tenya, given the time it takes you to get up to full speed, there's a limit to how fast you can get somewhere! You struggle to close the gap at middle distance, don't you?"

[buildingblocks]

"I've been trying to increase my body mass but it's been tough. I just can't seem to put on the weight to do it!" Exclaimed Momo, creating a sticky bomb from her legs and hurling it at Amelie to detonate around her ankles.

Shifting into second, Iida replied, "I see you have analyzed our strategies, sensei! Nothing less than expected from a guest lecturer! Yes, I have trouble, which is why I need to adjust my speed at every given moment or I stall out!"

[onaroll]

Amelie jumps out of the way of the bomb by triggering the shockwave function again, bodily hurling herself into the air before coming down on Tenya in a copy of his earlier axe-kick.

"I'd suggest looking into sumo eating techniques, but that's not what I was getting at, Momo. The only way your Quirk makes sense is if you're using your lipids to kickstart the creation process! Think of it like a car - once you've got it started, it keeps going even if you don't have the pedal down! If you're going full blast the entire time, you end up using more fuel than you need!"

Amelie folds herself nearly in half, bracing her hands against Tenya's shoulders at the moment of impact and throwing herself at Momo in a dropkick.

"Tenya! Your engines add a lot of weight to your kicks even when they aren't activated! When you do activate them, you have an extremely heavy kick that comes out nearly instantly! Have you considered that kicking something at an opponent in the midrange is an extremely effective distraction?"

[buildingblocks]

Tenya dodged backwards, but his engine sputtered, forced to go backwards in reverse all of a sudden as Momo drew another grenade from her chest again. "I'm not entirely certain what else I could use for my powers though," said Momo. "Having a quick source of energy on hand though does seem like an idea however."

Tenya shook his leg to work out the kinks before saying, "Like a ball?"

[onaroll]

"A ball would work, yes! I'd show you, but I'd have to use my Quirk to get one."

AMAZONITE! PEGASUS!
HOLDING BACK! THE ROYAL WINGS!

Amelie slams the wingbow into place on her back and takes off, catching the latest grenade in her tailwind and sending it spiraling towards the wall.

"Given your height and weight, if it was just your lipids you were using you wouldn't be able to make more than thirty to forty pounds of materiel before your Quirk would just give up, and you've made mortars! The lightest those get is fifty pounds! Lipids are a part of your Quirk, but they aren't your whole Quirk!"

[buildingblocks]

Momo actually stopped in shock. "Lipids... aren't just part of my Quirk..." she said faintly. "Wait... you mean... I'm creating wholecloth? I'm using my body fat as a engine and then it's..."

"Starting as a beginning point, and then creating a resource point, and then pulling from somewhere," finished Tenya. "Remarkable. Momo-san, your Quirk is..."

"Near inifnite..." said Momo, with a gasp. "If I could keep it going... imagine the possibilities."

[onaroll]

"Now you're getting it!"

Amelie floats a little farther away as the two students process, dropping to the ground as she swaps out the Amazonite Key for the Diamond Key and placing the wingbow on her forearm. (It's only Royal Wings that can fly, just like it's only Energetic Strength that gets Shoot Form.)

CHAINED HEAT! GROWING ARROW!!

With that, she shoots off three arrows of light that trace a trail of vines through the air behind them as they fly towards the pair's legs.

[buildingblocks]

The vines catch the pair off guard and they're rooted, and their mobility is hampered by Amelie's attack as they struggle to free themselves. Resigning themselves to their fate, Momo and Tenya hold up their arms in surrender. "We give," said Momo.

"Thank you for the lesson," said Tenya.

[onaroll]

Amelie laughs a little as she lets them loose. A brass hoop opens in the air next to her and she pulls out a bumpy, blue-and-white ball, handing it to Tenya.

"Here, try practicing with this!"
