"Oh, Ah can help y'all with that, c'mon, hop along!" You call the colorful pair to follow you in and to the taped paper on the wall. "As you can see… Well, Ah guess it could have been worse?"
>"...How!?" Mina asks as she pokes at the poor sheet, her finger digging into the paper and dissolving the bit next to her name, marking her 19th in the class and one of the few without a passing mark in the practical column.
"...You could have fallen a spot?" You try to point out the anemic silver lining, but Kirishima promptly snaps it in two.
>"Not really, they got the same failing grade as a pair so the most that could happen was her staying in the same spot." Kirishima explains with undue positive zeal, seemingly oblivious to the daggers Mina glares at him. Or maybe he's impervious to those too. "She couldn’t have become last in class as long as it was a team-based evaluation!"
>"Who are you to talk! You are like the sevightinieth now!" Mina chastises him, crossing her arms and pouting. You aren't quite sure, but it sounded like she choked on that last word, so you give some pats on her shoulder for good measure.
>"Ya I guess I am the third worst by that measure." He admits with a sad chuckle before puffing out his chest and bringing his fists together with a quirk-assisted clang, roaring with conviction. "That just means it's a rockier road than I expected and that much more room for improvement! That's why we train, right?!"
"Damn straight!" You yell back, placing your fists in front of his for a pumped-up fistbump.
Despite the obvious ability and strength to make it hurt or even mess up your wrists, his fists impact solidly with yours and leave your knuckles only a little sore. Pa would approve.
>"I’m going to make full use of this training camp, no matter what it throws my way!." Kirishima loudly declares to no one in particular.
>"I just hope it at least feels more like ‘camp’ than ‘training’." Mina’s continues to glower as they both head to the back to store their bags.
