Yukino breathed in the warm summer air as she walked to the beach, then let out a contented sigh. For some reason people tended to think that she would like Winter more due to her ice-based Quirk. Maybe some people with cold Quirks worked like that, but hers was specifically heat absorption. That, plus her residual draconic mutations from her grandfather, made her prefer warm temperatures a lot more than cold. So on a hot summer day like this, she was feeling pretty great even though her swimsuit was exposing a lot more of her skin than she normally liked doing.

"It's funny," she said to the two she was walking with, "I don't really like swimming much, but I love the beach." The sun, the sand, and to be perfectly honest...

"I prefer not to swim as well," Akai-chan told her, still looking ahead and holding the cooler she was carrying for Yukino. She looked really pretty in her sundress. Yukino had been hoping to see her in a swimsuit, but she got why she wouldn't be wearing one if she didn't plan to swim.

"We're going to the beach, this is great!" Neki-chan cheered. He was carrying the other cooler. "And you're making ice cream later!"

"Yup," Yukino grinned, though she was trying to keep away from Neki-chan a bit. Even if he was wearing his Quirk-erasing bracelet, Yukino was wary of her body's only way to cool itself suddenly shutting down on a hot summer day. That'd sour her fun real fast... For her part, Yukino was only carrying the bowls, napkins, and a long tablecloth. To be fair, she was also bringing the means of how the ice cream would be made. Sure, it was literally her body, but she was still the one who would be making the ice cream. "Got stuff to make chocolate and vanilla, plus a bunch of toppings."

"Ohh, that sounds delicious," Neki-chan drooled.

"Thanks, I try my best." In addition to her ice cream supplies, Yukino was also carrying a beach towel for herself. She probably wasn't going to go into the water, yes, but she didn't want to sit down directly on the sand. It was warm, which was nice, but Yukino could do without getting sand in her swimsuit...

They crested the hill they were walking up, giving them a good view of the beach.

"Ohhh, that looks beautiful," Neki-chan said.

"Yeah, it is," Yukino agreed. Even though she didn't swim, she could absolutely appreciate the beauty of the sun glittering off the waves. "Right, let me find somewhere to put my stuff. I'll probably need some help bringing the stuff back, but don't worry about helping me keep track of the stuff while we're here."

"Sounds good," Akai-chan said. "Let's find you a spot."

x x x

"Ahhhh~" Yukino sighed, basking in the sun. Her tail wagged a little, then she decided to check on her coolers. She opened one up a crack, sticking a claw in. It felt good, but just to be safe she drained some of the heat from the air in it and refroze the cold water in the ice bag. She did the same for the other cooler, then grimaced and shook out her hands. She hadn't used her Quirk much, but it was always unpleasant when she used it to cool something that was already a little chilly. Yukino rubbed her hands on her tail, which was really warm from the sun because it was covered in black scales.

Once she warmed her hands up, Yukino decided to play around a bit. She put a hand on the sand, careful not to get any under her claws, and activated Cryomancy. The sand frosted over, though Yukino prevented it from freezing together. She lifted up all the sand that she'd frozen in a large clump. Yukino thought for a bit, then formed the sand into a square of walls with little towers in the corner. Then she started with the detail work. She made a largeish (semifunctional) drawbridge on the side facing her, then carved little lines in the walls in the walls to make it look like bricks. She didn't do any details for the drawbridge, though, because she unfortunately wasn't good enough to make wood grain in a little sand drawbridge. It was starting to warm up a bit, so Yukino lightly touched the top of the wall and cooled it back down. Then she froze a bit more sand, using it to make crenellations for the walls and towers. She hummed, thinking of what else she could add to the castle.

"Heads up!" a voice yelled. Yukino snapped her head up just in time to see a beach ball hurtling at her. She quickly caught it with a single hand. A single... clawed hand...

Crud.

Phweee...

Yukino grimaced as the ball started to deflate from the holes she'd accidentally punctured in it with her claws.

"You okay?" Tori-chan asked, walking up to her. It sounded like they were the one who warned her about the ball. Yuu-chan was trailing behind them. "I hit the ball kinda... far... sorry..." They trailed off toward the end, noticing the deflated ball.

Yukino sheepishly removed the ball from her claws, carefully trying to keep it from getting damaged further. "Sorry about that. Claws..." She held the now totally flat ball out to Tori-chan.

They nodded sadly, taking the ball and brandishing their claws with their other hand. "I get how it is..." They sighed, then shook their head a little and smiled. "It's good, it's good. We should've been more careful with the ball."

Yukino nodded. "Still, if you want I can get you a new one later to replace it."

"Oh, no, don't feel the need to do that!" They smiled. "Thanks, but I'll deal with it. Again, sorry for almost hitting you!" They walked off.

"Yeah, sorry about that," Yuu-chan said.

"It's cool, Yuu-chan," Yukino waved him off.

"Are you building a sand castle?" he asked, pointing to her castle.

"Yeah," she said, then noticed it was starting to get close to "melting" again. She quickly refroze the castle. "Using my Quirk to do it. It's practice as well as fun."

"I could give the towers some sprouts, if you want," he said. "They're not flags, but they might make it look nicer?"

Yukino gave him a smile. "That sounds great, but unfortunately I don't know if they'd do well in the cold sand..."

He shook his head slightly. "I can make them cold resistant. Though... they might die soon if I don't sustain them."

Yukino shrugged. "Don't worry about sustaining them. I could try to ice them over once they start wilting. Probably be good practice for something. Thanks, by the way."

He was wearing his box so she couldn't see his mouth, but Yukino had the feeling he was smiling as he put the sprouts on the towers. "Bye," he muttered, then walked off.

Yukino played with the castle for a bit more.

x x x

Yukino hopped up. "Alrighty!" she said with a clap. Some time had passed, and while the sun was still in the sky she felt that she should get started on her ice cream before it got any later. She noticed that some of her classmates, as well as one or two of the teachers, were looking at her now. "I'm gonna be making ice cream soon!" she announced to the people who were looking at her. "Can one of you make sure everyone knows?"

"I'm on it!" Lacca-sensei shouted, giving her a thumbs-up. "Just save me a bowl of rocky road!"

"I literally don't have that but okay," Yukino muttered as her teacher ran off. She shrugged and poked the tablecloth with a foot, using Cryomancy to float it to her hand. She held one end and tossed the other to the side, using her telekinesis to unfurl it. As she did that, she made a table of ice form underneath where it would fall to, making it super thick so it wouldn't melt easily. The tablecloth fell on the ice table a little askew, but Yukino quickly fixed it with telekinesis. She floated the coolers, bowls, spoons, and napkins onto the table next.

Yukino hummed, pulling out the tubs of chocolate- and vanilla-flavored cream in the first cooler that she'd prepared for today with a bit of effort. She'd tried to make sure there was enough for everyone to have at least some of each. She smiled, then pulled out two ice cream scoops in a plastic bag. Yukino pulled out the first one, then uncovered the chocolate cream and dipped it in. She put her other hand over the cream and activated her Quirk. She stirred the cream with both the scoop and the air above it, chilling both. After a few seconds, the cream froze into chocolate ice cream. "Good," she said as she tested the ice cream with the scoop. It wasn't too thick, but not too thin, either. She repeated that with the other scoop and the vanilla cream.

Once both the tubs were done, she rubbed her hands on her tail to warm them up, then put the first cooler under the table and opened up the second one. Honestly she probably didn't have to bring toppings as well, but she wanted to. Plus she could snack on the leftovers later. She pulled out the chocolate syrup, strawberry syrup, caramel, whipped cream, and jar of cherries first. Then she took out a couple of the bowls and plastic spoons. She had big bags of chocolate chips (dark, milk, and white), peanut butter chips, peanuts, crushed Oreos, bits of edible cookie dough, and sprinkles in the second cooler as well, of which she poured some of each into the bowls. Then she brought out a label for the peanut products, which she'd made sure to keep away from everything else, for Wolfie-sensei because of his allergies.

"There," she said, then cooled the table down a bit just in case. "Done." She looked up to see that most of the class had formed a line in front of the ice cream. Lacca-sensei was, of course, in the front. "Hey, you don't mind if I get first dibs, do you?" Yukino asked the line. "I did just make it."

"Oh, go ahead!" Lacca-sensei nodded vigorously.

Nobody really objected to that, so Yukino shrugged and took a bowl and a plastic spoon. She took a scoop out of each tub of ice cream with her telekinesis, then put some chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, cookie dough, sprinkles, chocolate syrup, caramel, and whipped cream on it. And finally, a cherry on top. She noticed that the people still in line were staring at her ice cream, though Lacca-sensei, Neki-chan, and Boron had started getting their ice cream behind her. "Alright," she said. "I'm probably gonna stay close to the ice cream table so I can keep it and the ice cream from melting. Call me if you need anything. And I know it goes without saying, but please don't litter. There's a trash bag in one of the coolers, the first person to have to throw out their trash can take that out. Bye."

Yukino walked away, eating a spoonful of ice cream as she did so. She was about to sit down on her beach towel again, but then she saw that Akai-chan was sitting nearby. Yukino set up the table a little too close to her beach towel, actually, so she figured she'd go sit down with her.

"You okay if I sit here?" Yukino asked Akai-chan with a grin.

"Ah, Takeda-kun," she said. "I don't mind."

Yukino sat down on Akai-chan's lap, taking another spoonful of her ice cream.

"I... should've guessed you'd do that..." Akai-chan muttered, her face starting to flush slightly.

"Don't worry," Yukino assured her. "I'll get up if you need me to."

"That's... that's fine," she muttered. "I hope you don't mind that I didn't get any ice cream. I have some residual snake mutations that make cold foods uncomfortable for me."

Yukino shrugged, then tickled Akai-chan's back with her tail. She smiled at the cute noise Akai-chan made. "I get how residual mutations are. The cold can be kinda bad for me, too, though luckily it's not quite bad enough that I can't have ice cream on a warm day if I want to." Yukino took another scoop of her ice cream. "Plus you're not the only one." She pointed at Mulan-sensei. "Think she's just eating crushed Oreos from a bowl."

"You can tell?" Akai-chan asked.

Yukino nodded. "I can feel anything that I've frozen, there's no ice cream in that bowl."

"That's interesting."

"Speaking of, I'm probably gonna go refresh the table and ice cream soon. Wanna keep 'em cool so they don't melt."

Akai-chan nodded. "That makes sense. It is rather warm today."

"Yeah," Yukino said, licking her lips to get a bit of chocolate off. "I like the heat, so it's nice." Yukino got up, stretching a bit. "Anyways, I'm gonna go cool off." She gave Akai-chan a quick peck on the cheek before walking off. Again, she smiled at the adorable squeak that Akai-chan made. She kept her smile as she walked over to the table and tapped it with her Quirk cooling it back down and reinforcing it. She shook out her hand, then walked over to the tubs of ice cream. "Hey, mind if I cool the ice cream off real quick?" Yukino asked Yuu-chan and Wolfie-sensei, who were about to serve themselves some ice cream. "Gotta make sure it stays cool."

Wolfie-sensei nodded. "Go right ahead, I don't mind."

"Yeah," Yuu-chan said. "Thank you."

Yukino gave them a grin, then grabbed the handles of the scoops and used them to chill the ice cream again. "The handles might be a little cold now," she warned, "sorry."

"That's fine," Yuu-chan said, then took some ice cream. "Thanks for the ice cream, by the way!"

"You're welcome," Yukino responded. "I'm gonna go now." She walked back to Akai-chan, chuckling to herself over the fact that she was still blushing over the kiss.

x x x

Yukino hummed to herself as they walked back to the dorms, carrying her beach towel, the trash bag, and the leftover bowls and stuff. "Today was nice," she said.

"Yeah," Neki-chan agreed, carrying one of the coolers again. "And thanks for the ice cream! It was so good!"

Yukino nodded. "You're welcome. That was nice, though I think if I do it again I might wanna prepare something for people who don't like or can't have cold treats." As she said that, she winked at Akai-chan.

Akai-chan raised her eyebrow at the wink but said, "That... does sound nice, yes. I can't wait to see what you make, Takeda-kun."

Yukino smiled at her. "Thanks, Akai-chan. I won't disappoint you!"

Taiyuu OCT Bonus Round 4

Character Nicknames: Aura-sensei: Kyoukka Nora Fuwa-chan: Zuruko Kayaki Akai-chan: Naishin-Sunomu Seisho Wolfie-sensei: Kuzu Onoma

x x x

Yukino leaned against the counter in the common room, staring at Aura-sensei. She was about to head to bed, but then Aura-sensei barged in smiling like she had some grand idea she wanted to share with everyone.

"I know you guys are a little tired after the midterms and everything," she said, "so I figured we could do something fun! Goudalone, Sheriff, and I are gonna be manning the grills for a barbecue this weekend, so I hope to see everyone there!" She happily left once she was done with her announcement. Yukino shrugged and went to her room. Who knows, it might actually be fun.

x x x

The barbecue smelled delicious, actually. There were ribs, brisket, burgers, hot dogs, and pulled pork. And that was just the meat. Yukino was surprised that they had the budget for it. Though Aura-sensei probably paid for it out of pocket or something. Otherwise, Yukino would've been a little annoyed they were blowing money on a party instead of fixing any of the actual issues going on in Taiyuu.

Yukino got to the barbecue a little late, so she ended up being one of the last to get food. Yukino wasn't mad about that, it was on her. Besides, she could wait to get food like a big girl. What was annoying her a little, though, was the fact that she was right behind Fuwa-chan. Sure Fuwa-chan finally deigned to turn off her damn Quirk and stop erasing everyone's memories all the time, but that was so far below the bar for decent human being that Yukino was surprised she hadn't been burnt to a crisp by the heat of Earth's molten core. Yukino still had no desire to even be polite to her. Luckily Fuwa-chan was an antisocial asshole, so she didn't even acknowledge Yukino's presence.

Feh. The whole situation got on Yukino's nerves. Fuwa-chan put almost no effort into controlling her Quirk, which Yukino considered to be very irresponsible due to it being something that literally only negatively affected other people, but the staff of Taiyuu never addressed the issue until a schoolwide mandatory counseling meeting, when she miraculously gained the ability to turn off her Quirk seemingly overnight. They didn't try anything to negate or counteract the memory-erasing Quirk's effects on the students, made no effort to reduce the students' exposure to it, and didn't even tell the students that attending Taiyuu would mean having their memories erased on a near-daily basis.

Simply put, they exposed students to the effects of a mind-affecting Quirk without their informed consent (which Yukino was pretty sure was hella illegal even if Fuwa-chan was somehow off the hook), because there was no way they didn't know what Fuwa-chan's situation was. Hero schools usually had to ask for at least the general details on a student's Quirk, to make sure they knew how to train them. Yukino knew for a fact that Taiyuu, despite its utter lack of due diligence, did that; they did it for her, at least. Plus they were continually "supporting" Fuwa-chan due to her "difficult" Quirk, so...

Wait.

Shit, Taiyuu had Yukino's Quirk data. At this point Yukino didn't trust them at all with her personal information. Unfortunately she couldn't do anything about that at the moment, but when she left she would definitely make sure that she took her personal information with her...

But that was something to talk to her brother about later. For now, though, the line had progressed enough that she was about to start serving herself. She smiled as she took a burger, a hot dog, some brisket, and some baked beans. She hummed as she left the line and looked for somewhere to sit. They didn't have any benches, so the Aura-sensei had just laid a bunch of blankets and towels on the ground. Yukino walked around, looking for a free spot. Ooh, Akai-chan was sitting by herself.

"This spot taken?" Yukino asked.

Akai-chan shook her head. "No, go ahead."

Yukino smiled and sat down next to her. She started eating her burger.

"Are you okay?" Akai-chan asked.

Yukino sighed. She could tell... "I don't wanna unload on you."

"I don't mind."

Yukino looked at her. "You sure?"

Akai-chan nodded.

"If you say so..." Yukino shrugged. "I... hate Taiyuu. The students are fine, most of them anyway, but..."

"I have seen some problems with how the school is run," Akai-chan finished. "It seems that they barely have the budget or staff to actually run a school, and are only scraping by thanks to the Quirks of some of the staff members, especially Laccadaisy's."

"Yeah," Yukino said. "I feel like... they needed to have thought this through a lot more before actually opening the school. Y'know, actually made sure things would run smoothly?"

"Yes, that sounds about right," Akai-chan agreed.

"And then there's the thing with Fuwa-chan," Yukino grumbled.

"Fuwa-chan?" Right, Akai-chan probably didn't know that nickname.

"Zuruko Kayaki," Yukino clarified. "I feel like they're just covering for her, when they should've tried to mitigate the effects of her Quirk on others." She clenched her fists. "You know how disturbing it feels to notice that there've been holes popping up in your memories for months?"

"That sounds disconcerting, especially put that way."

Yukino smiled. "Thanks. Somehow that was so hard for Fuwa-chan to grasp when I tried to bring it up to her, though. I'll admit I probably got a little heated, but I have no idea what happened after that because I stopped 'writing' it down with my Quirk. And you know what happened when I brought my concerns up to Wolfie-sensei?"

"I have the feeling you're not going to say 'it was addressed in a manner that I deemed satisfactory,'" Akai-chan guessed.

"I was not. To be fair, I'm pretty sure it was addressed, but you know how it was addressed?"

"Was that around when the teachers congratulated Zuruko regarding her epiphany with her Quirk?" Akai-chan asked.

Yukino snorted. "An 'epiphany' that most kids with Emitter Quirks figure out before they're ten if it's even relevant, and usually the ones with the more obviously dangerous Quirks tend to get scolded when they don't." She gave an annoyed shrug. "But hey, there's absolutely nothing wrong with permanently erasing other people's memories against their will, I guess."

"I can see why that would frustrate you."

Yukino gave her a weak smile, then returned to her annoyed scowl. "And the worst part is that the staff don't seem to fucking care about it. Fuwa-chan doesn't even seem to try to control her Quirk, but the teachers say nothing about it while givin’ other students flak for tiring themselves out n’ stuff like that! And her attitude! I don' think she even cared about what I had to say when I asked her to try to turn her damn Quirk off, when I told her I didn' want my memories erased!" She sniffled, trying to fight back tears. "If that's what Taiyuu considers hero material, especially enough that she gets preferential fucking treatment, then I don' wanna be a Taiyuu hero!"

Akai chan put her hand on Yukino's wrist. Yukino sniffed, then gave her a grateful smile.

"Thanks..." Yukino muttered. "To be honest, I've been planning to leave Taiyuu for a while now. I know you have trouble with technology, so we can’t text or anything, but I want to keep in touch with you if that's possible."

Akai-chan nodded. "I would like that, too. And I think it's fine that you're leaving, if you're worried about that. You clearly don't like it here at Taiyuu, so you should leave as soon as you're able."

"Yeah, thanks." Yukino picked her plate back up and took a bite of her hot dog. She winced. "It's already cold..." She usually kept a good grasp on her Quirk, but recently it seemed like a small amount of it was slipping out more often when her emotions spiked. Considering the frost on the edges of her plate, that looked like the most likely reason why she had cold barbecue when it was still Summer... She sighed and scarfed down her cold food, hoping there was enough for her to have seconds.
