ANBI'S FACTORS: 2/1/2

The courtyard was usually pretty nice - when it wasn't raining. And, in fact, it usually managed to be kind of nice when it was raining, too. But when it was thunderstorming? Nobody would dare sit around in the courtyard and get sopping wet. Which was exactly what Anbi was hoping to take advantage of. The girl sat down on one of the benches that lined the courtyard, an umbrella cast over her head, and a big, clear poncho all around her body, with a book placed beneath the poncho that she was still managing to read through the transparent plastic of her protective covering.

She was still getting a little bit wet, obviously, but staying surprisingly dry considering the downpour that was going down all around her. Most people might have been somewhat concerned by all the lightning that was flashing around in the sky, but Anbi knew better. Only a thousand people across the entire planet got struck by lightning every year, and with the seven billion plus people on Earth... Her odds were in favor of not being struck. That, and lightning always takes the shortest path to the sky, meaning it travels through tall things. And Anbi was surrounded by trees and lamp posts - in fact, two trees were directly adjacent to the bench she sat on. So she was definitely safe from being struck.

The same could apparently not be said of the tree next to her, as an incredibly loud sound crackled through the area, and the large plant right by Anbi burst into a fit of sparks and flames. "EEE!" she exclaimed in fright as she curled her legs up against her chest and flinched away from the tree. Okay, well... That was scary. But she hadn't been struck, so she was still - and then the tree started falling. It wasn't a big tree, maybe only fifteen feet tall, but all the branches and stuff decided to crash down right on top of Anbi. "Ack- No, get off!" she struggled to lift the branches off of herself, but her poncho was stuck on one of them. Was she just going to have to sit here, trapped until the storm ended? ...Well, at least she could get some more reading in.

LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE

Besuto was insane for being out in weather like this! With his stature he was sure he was gonna get blown away! Either way, he had to get this last box inside so he could actually have his room ready for his big third year. He was running as fast as he could, the cardboard getting soaked, he thankfully put as much stuff as he could in either some sort of wrapping or zip lock bags. After making the dash to the door, he finally did it, that was the last box. His body and clothes were drenched, but hey, he was done! Well, he was halfway done, he still needed to get all this stuff to his room, but climbing the absolute nightmare that is stares with his short legs is better than the rain.

He was just about to take the first one up when thunder boomed close by, which was really concerning. He decided to look outside, seeing through one window, nothing looked off. Looked through another, still fine, but third times a harm apparently cause he saw a tree had fallen over. Was probably gonna take a while to grow a new one, but hey he didn't run this school so that wasn't a problem. What WAS a problem was that even with the huge storm, he could just barely see someone actually squirming under it. Besuto immediately went into a panic as he noticed the figure, eyes widening and rushing over to his boxes, he tried to find something, anything he could use.

After a quick search he pulled out a cane, one with a sparkly (but fake) gem stone on the end. He didn't need a cane, especially as this one wasn't made for the use of people his size, but he just couldn't help himself from buying it after seeing the stone. Rushing back out into the rain, he ran out quickly and without even saying a word, put the cane right under the tree. With all his kobold might, he grabbed onto it and pulled down as hard as he could to raise the tree! That is to see, he had no might at all obviously, so he just dangled there a little bit before letting go. Well he was out of ideas, so he decided to call out for someone, "Anyone here who can help!?"

Oh boy, did Ash love the rain. Well, she liked all weather in general as long as it wasn't too extreme, but rain was something special. Spending most of her life in a place with little to no rain, she simply couldn't contain the excitement of being able to run out and jump around. She even brought her special rainy day clothes with her for instances like this! Unlike back home where the rain was just a drizzle at best, she was able to experience a true downpour for the first time in her life and could finally put her clothes to full use. Clad in a giant yellow raincoat with equally obnoxious colored rubber rain boots, Ash ran around the rain, reveling herself in the stormy weather. She didn't even care about the thunder, thinking that she was completely safe. Besides didn't rubber conduct electricity or was that metal? She couldn't remember and didn't particularly care to find out. Instead, she would run around, jump into puddles and stomp around in them until she found another, much larger puddle to play in. This was going to be how she spent her day and she was enjoying it to the fullest.

There weren't many people out here due to the stormy weather and those that she had encountered turned her down when she invited them to play with her in the rain and seemed to walk away at a much brisker pace than before. Maybe Ash reminded them of how rainy it was and they realized how much they wanted to go back indoors. Oh well, she knew the rain wasn't for everyone, although it would have been nice to have a playmate out here...

After stomping around for a few more minutes to herself Ash heard a crack of thunder that had struck quite close by. It was followed by a loud crash and a scream by what sounded by a young girl. Not only that Mr. Scallykins was there as well! "Hiiii Mr. Scallykins do you want help?" She called out, making her way towards the two with a gigantic grin and waving enthusiastically at them. Ash was about to go give him another giant bear hug when she noticed the Anbi "Is this your friend? Are you guys playing around with a giant stick right now?" She wondered, looking at the two with confusion. A tree seemed like an odd thing to play with. Maybe this was some sort of game! "Oooh, could I be under the stick next and try to escape? This sounds like a fun game." She would say as a giggle. It didn't process in her mind that Anbi was actually stuck as she thought that situations like this didn't happen at a school for superpowered individuals.

Well, now would at least be a good time to catch up on her reading, if Anbi was going to be trapped for a bit. She could still manage to see the book and its contents even past a few of the branches that obscured her vision, so this wasn't all bad, right? It certainly could have been worse. Ah, and speaking of worse... It was a bit hard to tell, but Anbi was pretty sure she could see some orange lizard person or something like that had come up and started trying to move the tree all by himself. Well, how... Noble. He did know she was underneath it, right? He hadn't said a word directly to her, just run up and started trying to lift it.

And then a second girl showed up, and what she made up for in her loudness, she failed in her, well, intelligence. Anbi had to silently frown at the realization this new girl seemed to think being stuck under trees in thunderstorms was a 'game' that the two of them were playing. She didn't even call it a tree, actually. A 'giant stick'. This was a UA student, right? Were UA students allowed into the school with such a low IQ? Anbi didn't say any of these thoughts aloud, though, and simply stated. "Sorry, no... It fell on me, and my coat is snagged on a branch."

God, this was embarrassing. What kind of kid who goes to a school full of superpowered heroes manages to get themselves trapped underneath a tree that was hardly even close to fully grown? Her, apparently. "If you could, um, put more weight on the other end, it should lift enough for me to squeeze out," she suggested. That seemed to have been what the lizard was attempting to do, but he, well, lacked the weight for it.

LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE

Things weren't looking in the favor of Besuto or the girl, as at first there didn't seem to be an answer. Well it was pouring, in fact he was starting to get cold, which wouldn't end well for him if he stayed out here too long, but he also couldn't leave a fellow student like this. Maybe he could head inside and see if any other students were still moving their stuff in? But suddenly, he heard someone call out! In any other circumstance, Besuto would have been happy that someone actually came, but it was the name that came from the voice that gave it away as a girl he was familiar with approached. He had met Ashley once, but to meet her again in a situation like this, he almost felt this girl was his own personal curse some cruel jerk wad out there place on him.

It seemed her intelligence hadn't changed since they last met, she seemed to believe this was some kind of game they were playing. Her questions and request to get under the tree almost made him want to snap right there and then, the only good thing was that it seemed the victim of the situation could understand this horrible pain. He wanted to join in with his fellow student and telling her that this was definitely a terrible situation, but an idea sparked in his head. He'd lean over to Anbi and whisper this, "Hold on, this girl isn't the brightest, but I can get her to help if you just don't say anything." After slipping that into Anbi's ear, he would clear his throat and speak to Ashley thusly, "Oh, Ash, I'm so glad you could make it! We were playing a game, but sadly everything broke, we can't play the game if she's stuck under the stick like that! We'd love to let you play if you can get it off her!"

It was a little mean, but lying to her and keeping up the illusion that this is a game is the best way to get her to help. If Ashley were to pick up the tree, he'd start heading inside, as both a means of safety from the cold, and a way to hide from this delusional girl.

For a moment Ash was really confused. She didn't understand what Anbi meant by a tree fell on her. It was clearly just a giant stick, right? Trees had leaves on them, so it must be a stick! Besides, trees were giant and that one was just small which only helped further her point that was a stick. Thankfully, Mr. Scalykins over there had helped clear up the misunderstanding with Anbi there which thankfully let everything make sense to her again. Phew, that was a good thing at least. This would have been bad if she really meant what she said was true. However, the game was broken so she might as well help them so that way they could continue their game!

Walking over to the tree, she would inspect it for a moment before inspecting the stick. Was sitting on that side really going to help her get out? It seemed too small for her to do so still. Right now they needed someone to help lift the tree up... someone like a hero. That was right! She was going to a school for heroes after all, so maybe Ash could try out her heroism for the first time here in Japan by helping a girl in need. That's what heroes did right? And besides, this as an emergency purpose that called for quirk usage.

But what would help her get her out from there. Sure, her tiger claws were sharp, but they were nowhere near as strong enough to rip the stick in two. Maybe she could transform her teeth so she could lift the stick up like she was a puppy! Actually no... she had tried that before and she hurt her neck for the next few days. Then maybe! An idea came to her mind. Didn't people say always to lift with the legs and not the back. If her human legs didn't work, maybe she would have to try something else out. "Okay! I'll help."

She would begin to pull off her rain boots and up her pants so that they wouldn't get as damaged. Instantly, her legs and feet began to morph, changing until a pair of frog legs replaced them. "Hehe, using my quirk in the rain is fun!" she commented before she would leap over and grab hold of the tree. Using her new powerful leg muscles, she would push the tree upward until she had fully extended her legs and the stick was completely off of Anbi for her to easily crawl out of. "There you go! I'm a hero now!" She cheered with a joyful expression on her face. How great was this? After she would get out, she would drop the tree and giggle. "What's the next step of the game now?"
