I wonder who the most powerful people in our class are.

Unless you meet one of two criteria, Noriko is your worst nightmare.

On the other hand, if you meet one of those criteria, she's basically fucked.


And while I can't speak for the rest of the class, I'm pretty sure Bakugou and Todoroki are still pretty high up there.

@Azrael @RexHeller, you're up again.

Two questions. One, are you still expecting us to come through the front door? Because in a previous post, it seemed like you might have realized on our plan to bust through the roof, but you've sealed off the entrance there and while I'm strong enough to bust through, I haven't demonstrated that I'm that strong yet. That sort of strength is rather sparse, so you really should be assuming we're coming through the front door still.

Second question: You moved molten metal up to the roof. We're standing on the roof and as far as I can tell from your quirk, you have no way of knowing that. Are we going to have to dodge molten metal as you're forming your sign?

EDIT: Also, you've made a tactical blunder.

Takoe said:
Shoku gave a short nod. "That's good enough. Now brace yourself and for your sake touch he nuke only." Raising a hand to the ceiling to where the nuke was, Shoku unleashed the power of his quirk. As his face hardened in concentration the ceiling flared up and liquefied in a big circle.

"I now realize my earlier explanation of my quirk was a bit lacking." Shoku said as a small ring of slag detached itself from the outside of the circle. "It is not as much being capable of heating and manipulating metal once it is molten, as much as it is to influence the temperature of metal and manipulate it in a liquid state with the influence scale being heavily skewed upwards."

The circle of metal descended down the hole, revealing itself to have been floating in the air. "What this means is that I can keep metal cool just as well as I can keep it hot, which allows for a dual state object. Like the floor underneath the nuke, the top of which is still solid but the underside is liquid and can thus be willed to go up."

By now the nuke had come into sight, fitting perfectly through the hole. But on the flipside, Shoku's hand was had started wavering as well. "However, doing this takes a lot of concentration and mentally exhausts me exponentially more than a more unsubtle application of my quirk." He said through clenched teeth, trying to stave off the immense headaches for a few moments more. "Which is where you come in. Catch it now!" He exclaimed as he deactivated his quirk and the nuke started its freefall from about 2 meters above ground.

"It's excellent." Shoku replied somewhat out of breath as he wiped splotches of teammate off of himself. "Now that the upper floor is clear the next stage of my plan can start. The counter-ultimatum!"

Raising his hands to the heavens once more, the molten fire exit and several of the ground floor window barricades were seized by his quirk and made to flow upwards to the roof. Hanging forebodingly in the air just above head height, the prodigious amount of molten metal's form was manipulated to spell out the kanji for 'Surrender to us: 5 seconds'. These kanji immediately begun to flow again in a countdown. The immediately increased ambient temperature and the eerie light of incandescence only served to increase the atmosphere of impending doom should the demand be refused.

"Prepare yourself for the heroes' entry into our lair. Once they're here the true battle will begin." Shoku said to companion with a confident smile.

No where in either of these two posts did you mention replacing the hole you cut between the fourth and fifth floors. Now I want to seize the opportunity this mistake has given me but I'll wait until @LostDeviljho tells me whether I'm being to competitive or not.

The thoughtprocess was as follows: The front door is an obvious trap, thus they will not go through there. The windows are sealed and the fire exit gone, so given that you will be entering together these are not an option either since Hadrian would have his hands full with carrying his teammate. Which leaves stealth infiltration from the roof as only other option.
Plus, he saw Hadrian show off jis strenght in Aizawa's test. He knows you have the power to get in through there.

You may if you chose to accidentally stand in its path. Shoku has zero sight through his quirk and is hoping for dear life you're already there because otherwise he'll look dumb as fuck.

Ah, but nowhere in those posts did I say I removed the dome that was covering the nuke either. You cannot see the hole.

I would say that super strength doesn't necessarily mean super toughness and you need both to burst through wall. But whatever, it's too late to argue about that.

@Azrael, you ready to go?

Strength equals toughness is a common enough super hero conceit that I assumed it was in effect unless it's specifically not, like with Midoriya.
If you feel slighted in some way, please do say so. I'd hate to be ruining your enjoyment of the RP.
 
Takoe said:
"5,"

Shoku mentally steeled himself and subtly increased the temperature of the floor above him as he counted down aloud. From here on out not a single mistake could be permitted.

"4"

That European fellow was an absolute monster in combat; His strength and durability were likely unrivaled in their class or even the whole school. Even with his skill based fighting style he would fall woefully short against his classmate in the melee.
Well, Midoriya surpassed him in strength of course, but his quirk is both incredibly unreliable and an outlier, and should not be counted in averages or comparisons.

"3"

It was the durability Shoku was worried about the most though. Dragons are notoriously fiery and arduous creatures, regardless of area of origin. With extreme heat essentially being all that he had to offer and All Might already needlessly bearing down on him as a potential danger, Shoku knew not if he would be allowed to win this.

"2"

But as the motto he was forced to live by decreed this would not stop him from trying for the full 110%. "To go beyond the limits and break the expectations; Plus Ultra!"



"And zero!" Shoku yelled as he threw his arms wide in reaction to the massive thud of a cue, unleashing his quirk's full might on the metal above him.

All around Hadrian the world turned into a searing nova of light. It was as though he was standing inside a star, the metal dust in the air becoming sparks as they too were heated up so that his world consisted of nothing but indistinct shapes, blinding white light and heat. All but the very spot where had landed had become a searing white in incandescence, daring him to step forward from the still cool footsteps into the bowels of hell to proceed if he wished to come out the victor.
At the same moment up on the roof the floating, liquid metal spread across the entire rooftop's width and depth. The thin layer of molten death begun to slowly descend down onto the roof like a crushing trap in an ancient temple might, intent of dealing with Yamaikami in a timely fashion.

"I know not if you can hear me, Adolfson, but I will shout at you either way!" Shoku yelled as hard as he could upwards through the hole, uncertain of he was even conscious anymore. Given that he hadn't felt a thud going through the metal this was unlikely though. "A regular human dies at a core temperature of 44 degrees Celsius, skin cells are destroyed at 72 and the body begin to burn to ash at 800! These floors and walls are 1400 degrees Celsius and can be liquefied and sent to engulf you in an instant! So unless you wish to test the limits of your endurance and that of your team mate up top you will surrender this very instant!"

Ambient heat is a thing @Takoe. At those temperatures, the air should heat to the point where people are bursting into flames just by standing there in seconds. Try something a little less insanely lethal? Please?
 
Threatening other people with death isn't very heroic, you know. Remember that it's a shonen series, let's not make things overly realistic and dark. In the original series at no point in heroes vs heroes battles people were at rhe risk of dying, even when they realistically should have (like during the uraraka vs Bakugou fight or the midoriya vs Todoroki fight, people should have been hit by all the debris flying around).

We are not fighting against villains yet, so you really shouldn't start killing or crippling each other imo.

He has no idea what your limits are. That's why I jumped to this point.
I see you point however, so I'll roll it back and turn it into a gradual rise then.

You are making assumptions about Shoku that aren't necessarily true.

Such a threat will make All-Might end the exercise.

Do you mean issuing the threat he did or the general course of action?

Also, I'd like to point out that it says on Hadrian's sheet that he can melt metals with his fire breath and thus is capable of resisting that amount of heat as well.
1200 is a pretty good average for a metal's melting point, with the floors and walls still being solid because steel melts at around 1500 degrees. For reference.
So really you would have been perfectly fine in the previous version and this should be a walk in the park for you now but if everyone is going to object anytime I do anything then this is fine too.

Hadrian could survive just fine. It's everybody else I'm worried about. Ambient heat is a thing. The molten metal wouldn't just heat the air on by floor, it would have heated the air on yours too. And the metal on the roof would have heated the air around Noriko too. Your trick re-ordering the building probably should have been lethal for you guys too but whatever.
 
Azrael said:
Truly, Yoganin had an impressive Quirk. However, for all its potential, Noriko could only feel like he was using it too haphazardly. Did he not have some limit to his power? If nothing else, most Quirks tired their user when overused, though Noriko herself wasn't subject to that particular limitation, she still had a hard limit to how long she could use her power.

For that matter, does Yoganin have any actual resistance to the thing he controls? Hadrian would likely be fine in that heat, but Noriko had no doubts anyone with a human anatomy would find themselves in a very poor position if they stayed there for longer than an instant...

Looking up at her impending molten demise, Noriko grimaced behind her scarf.

Only one option then.

Without so much as an ounce of hesitation, the black-haired girl burst into a sprint, crossing the distance she had made between herself and her teammate in seconds, she lept up, tucked her arms and legs in-

And fell through the jagged, sagging edges of the hole Hadrian had made through the now-molten metal.

Landing in a roll down below, the ragged-looking hero sprang to her feet, took in what was happening in a second, and began to run for the path downstairs.

"You check that shell-looking thing for the objective! I'll go try to deal with them!"

Already she was sweating buckets, the mere act of yelling almost suffocated her in the all-consuming heat of the room. She was pretty sure parts of her clothes were singed from her brief contact with the ground, and she could feel the heat of the floor through her shoes.

Hopefully she'd be quick enough to get out of here before they melted.

And so she made an incredibly unsubtle charge down the stairs, the echoes of her rapid footfalls telling those below of her descent long before she was actually visible.

Unfortunately, @Takoe said he was heating every part of the room except where I was standing. You really want to run across that? I mean, your shoes would probably melt for one thing.

I have an alternate plan and it's pretty cool actually if you want to change things.

There's a reason she's sprinting and is in and out of the room in one post :V

I've decided that if we're being shounen and the Villains can survive the initial restructuring, Noriko can survive this with only minor damage.

Still, I'm open to suggestions. What's your idea?

That was explicitly done in both a few seconds and in such a way to limit ambient heat. Shoku is also wearing heat resistant clothing.

Putting this semi-sniping aside now. Maybe I'll be less irritable in the morning.
