Who: Everyone!
What: Training
When: Morning June 16
Where: Bishamon's temple
Summary: Training sessions for everyone to learn more about their abilities and jobs!



Many people have been wanting to know more about their abilities and what they are required to do here in the Far Shore. So, in conjunction with Bishamonten, the Heavens have seen fit to offer an open training session for everyone to participate in. Here you will be able to learn anything and everything about what you should be able to do and what is expected of you in your new positions.

Bishamon's temple is sweeping and gorgeous, having previously been home to hundreds of shinki. She has graciously offered to hold this training session and will be available to help anyone who needs it.



Equipment

Various kinds of mannequins and dummies have been provided for practice, as well as targets that are either stationary or move, depending on your will. Punching bags, jumping blocks, and a large pool area have also been provided for your use, so that you can find a tool for pretty much anything that you might need to practice. Plenty of practice weapons of various weights, sizes, and shapes are also available upon request from any of the many white-clad shinki that are also attending today.

God Training

Bishamon herself will be the foremost source of information regarding being a god and what is expected of you. It is also encouraged that gods group up together to practice what they've learned and discuss their ideologies. Random groupings can be provided by the mods or you may come up with your own groupings together.

Shinki Training

Various shinki are available to help with shinki training, including Kazuma and all of Bishamon's shinki. Additionally, the white-clad shinki will be more than happy to train you on using the borderline and some of the basics of what is expected of a shinki. It is also encouraged that shinki group up together to practice what they've learned and discuss their ideologies. Random groupings can be provided by the mods or you may come up with your own groupings together.

Refreshments

There is a refreshments table provided. It is covered with light snacks and various kinds of hydrating drinks. There is a little sitting area set up for people to relax in after they have finished their training or if they're even just taking a quick break to cool down. The Heavens want you to stay in good condition!

In Summary:

• Use the state of the art equipment
• Learn about your job
• Form groups to practice
• Don't get dehydrated
• Spectate if you want
• Have fun~

Ah...I guess most people don't.

[There's a specific reason Izuku knows he can lift that much, but he knows how odd of a question that is.]

I can share powers between people, but they need to be pretty strong. It's dangerous otherwise.

[royaltyloyalty]

Share powers, huh?

[Well, Doku's up for a challenge anyway. He gestures to some of the training equipment.]

I don't mind dangerous. You willing to spot me while we see just how much I can lift?

[He's pretty sure it's 'a lot' but maybe getting close will appease Izuku?]

[fullcowl]

Absolutely. [Izuku can absolutely lift that much without issue.] Uh... I don't know if there are weights around here that we can use. Maybe...?

[royaltyloyalty]

How about the punching bags? [He jerks a thumb closer to those.] They should all have their weights on them, right? I could try one in each hand or something unless you want to help stack them on top of me somehow? [It's an idea...]

[fullcowl]

Do they? I haven't really used punching bags before.

[His strength training was removing garbage from a beach. It's quite a bit different than a real gym.]

I could start stacking them on your arms... That should work. Do you know about how heavy each punching bag would be?

[royaltyloyalty]

Not a clue, but let's look.

[He grabs one of the ones he's familiar with from having wrecked it earlier.]

Low end's 100 pounds. So two of them, two hundred pounds. I don't know if that's close to what you're looking for?

[He's so not a math guy.]

[fullcowl]

I think... it's closer to five of them?

[royaltyloyalty]

Woah!

[Okay... that's definitely a lot.]

There's got to be heavier ones or there's no way five will even... balance well on my arms.

[Never mind the question of being able to lift them.]

[fullcowl]

[And Izuku can lift that with no problems.]

That's true... Do you think there are weights around?

[royaltyloyalty]

There's gotta be... If not, we just ask one of the shinki of Bishamon's gang to get one for us, right?

[He whistles between his teeth to try and get their attention.]

Hey - you in the white! Get over here!

[fullcowl]

Are you-

[Izuku looks utterly bewildered that his idea of trying to get somebody's attention is to whistle at them.

One of the shinki does come over and inquire what they might need.]

[royaltyloyalty]

[Oops. Military training.]

Hey, we need some heavy weights.

[He gestures down to Izuku.]

He and I have something of a bet going on right about now, but the stuff out here isn't heavy enough.

[fullcowl]

[The shinki looks at them for a moment before scurrying off talking to another shinki. There's about five shinki who bring out a bar and some weights.]

Thank you for all of this. Sorry to have bothered you.

[royaltyloyalty]

Bothered me?

[Doku guffaws at the idea.]

Hell no kid, you're just challenging me.

[He offers a hand to shake since they didn't actually do this part.]

Dokugakuji. And that's my real name, not my god one.

[People keep asking so...]

[fullcowl]

[That's not the longest name he's ever heard.

He'll shake Dokugakuji's hand.]

It's nice to meet you, Dokugakuji. I'm Midoriya Izuku- or Deku. My god name is Aidos, but nobody really calls me that.

[royaltyloyalty]

Alright, Dek-- Wait. Deku and Doku!

[He guffaws a bit.]

Nice t' meetcha, Deku.

[And that's when they bring back some hefty weights for Doku to try out.]

Here's what I'm talkin' about!

[fullcowl]

[Izuku laughs after a moment. Yeah, that is pretty funny.]

Alright. I'll spot you.

[royaltyloyalty]

[He's not sure what spotting actually is aside from watching him, but he figures that's okay too.

Dokugakuji grabs some really heavy weights, but they're still only about 75% of what Deku can manage. He starts slowly lifting the weights and manages to get it at his midsection, before setting it down again.]

Phew!

[fullcowl]

[It's a good start but Izuku looks at the weights. It's not... quite enough.]

How was it? Do you think you could lift up more?

[royaltyloyalty]

[Doku's huffing a little now that he's set the weights back down.]

Yeah, definitely a little more for sure.

[fullcowl]

[That's enough for Izuku to put more weights onto the bar, squatting down with Doku and hands hovering just underneath. That's a good 100% of what Izuku can carry without his quirk active.]

Alright, try it now.

[royaltyloyalty]

[​He does​ struggle with it a bit. Slowly but surely, he lifts the full thing up, and then slowly lets it settle back down again.]

Hah! How about that?

[fullcowl]

Looks good!

I should be able to share with you without any problems. Want to try it now?

[royaltyloyalty]

I'm interested! Just maybe explain a bit more? Sharing - what's it gonna feel like? Super cool?

[fullcowl]

It doesn't feel like much at first, but if you try to use it... Kind of like... being an egg in a microwave?
