Jei was still a bit crestfallen over ranking so low on the physical tests due to her exhaustion. She'd hoped that the fact that she had super strength at her disposal would put her near the top like it sort of did during the practical exam, but that wasn't the result. Would it be better to not use it at all at this point..? No, then I'll never get better at it. That's simply just not an option...
Walking over to her next class, Jei was realizing how much time she spent in thought rather than connected to what's going on around her. She hardly remembered any faces. Maybe she should be talking to more people and getting out of her comfort zone? She didn't like the idea - she was never good at social interactions, which was half the reason she didn't bother with them in the first place. But, hey, it was a new start. People might think she's awkward or rude, but at least she'd be out there, instead of that kid in the back of the class that no one knew what their voice even sounds like. Her...peculiar sense of humor wouldn't help, she realized, but that's nothing she could really help unless she became even more of a blank slate when it came to displaying emotion.
To her surprise, All Might himself was teaching her next class, and they were having their first real activity as hero students - a Hero VS Villain activity. And they were receiving their costumes, too! Her face probably didn't showcase much emotion, but she was anxious and excited about both.
Jei didn't really know what costume she wanted, so she was a bit vague when she made the request. She wanted something that would allow her to transform freely for when she was eventually able to that. And she wanted something with a mask and had a pale turquoise and black color scheme (something with contrast, but not too outlandish). Something that would make her be like a dragon assassin or similar, because c'mon, that sounds cool. She was probably more specific than a lot of people.
Honestly, her costume looked more like a villain's than a hero's, but Jei was happy with it. The mask was intimidating, with the face of a traditional Japanese dragon on it. An interesting design choice, considering that her dragon form relied on her wings a lot, which Japanese dragons often lacked - maybe its about the patriotic value?? The costume was mainly jet-black and skin-tight with some pale turquoise accents around her upper arm, shoulders, and upper thighs. There were some open holes on her back from which the wings could protrude, as well as very short sleeves for the arm transformations and the same thing happening with her legs. Overall, her costume seemed to allow for the mobility and flexibility that was needed for her dragon form. Better than ripping another sweatshirt. What about when I'm able to fully transform, though? Hopefully the costume was given the same treatment as Ken's where it had the shape-shifting gene. I'm gonna get such awkward tans from this if we're gonna be outside a lot in these...
