Spring is here and newest crop of students have finally arrived at Crux Academy and Nebulae Institute. Both campuses are abuzz with activity as first years filter in, some confused, others excited and honored to be attending such a prestigious institution. Class assignments would be found on the large bulletin board toward the front of campus, and while some friends may find themselves once again sharing the same class, others will be given the opportunity to nurture new relationships with future friends (or enemies).

Classes for the first day will be short, punctuated by a welcoming ceremony led by each school's respective headmaster and headmistress, as well as an upperclassman that has some significance to the rest of the student body. Students are then permitted to take the rest of the day for themselves, to get acclimated to the campus as well as Galactica, should they so choose. Why not explore the school? Take a trip into the city? Or perhaps get to know your dorm mate, classmates or fellow faculty members? Or perhaps, if you are that sort of person, terrorize the town? The choice is yours.

I guess you're right.

[Puzzled, she looked over at the bear monster who was trying to slog to its feet.] Well I guess if it's a teddy bear then...

[She picked up a piece of broken glass and charged it. Three slices, and the stitching was coming apart, as she threw it into it's back, cutting the monster open. It didn't make a pained scream, more like a questionable rumble -- and then fell apart into a lifeless ball of fluff.]

Well... I had a feeling it was made of fluff and stuff. Oh god I just killed Winnie the Pooh.

...

Miss Khan, when I say a finisher I mean disenchanting the thing. If you need a magic item for that, ask for it.

[Evangeline actually looks annoyed by this.]

I'm not used to this, okay? I just... god.

[Falling to her knees, Kamala reverted back to her civilian form among the fluff.] I feel sick. I don't think I'm magical girl material.

... Do you really think I'm going to just let you give up like that?

[Evangeline chuckles.]

The reason I specify disenchanting the thing, is tearing it like that isn't actually going to stop it.

[... As evidenced by the fact that the fluff's starting to pull itself back together.]

Also, this one's not the right shade for Pooh. Looks more like the trees from the backgrounds, to me.

You could have told me that BEFOREHAND!

[Geez, what's with these kinds of monsters? Despite this, Ms Marvel got up.] So... got a item I can use?

Naturally.

[And Evangeline tosses a small, wand-like device to Kamala.]

Now transform back up and drop him a second time. That wand's a bit finicky, so you'll have to intuit how to use it once you've got the beast on the ropes.

Right.

[Getting back up, she shapeshifted back into Carol as she stood up fully.] All right, lets do this.

[The monster was reforming and she ran in, grappling with the monster.]

Pacing. These things don't tire - you do. You need to take control of the fight as soon as possible, so that you have the space to fire off the finisher.

So like this?

[Grabbing the fluff she threw it into the nearby pond to soak the monster down. It started to emerge as she leaped back and the device telescoped out.

All right self this is it! A crackling ball of energy formed and she hurled it from wand tip, the monster slamming into the ball from the opposite end. The two forces wrestled for a moment before the energy engulfed the enemy, and a large lightning bolt slashed through it before the monster expired, dissolving away into a torn teddy bear.]

I did it...

Indeed. Eventually, you succeeded.

Now, what are the key lessons from this bout?

That you can't brute force it all the time?

And that asking for help is acceptable?

Both correct, but there's one more.

Don't be a hero. Be a superhero. And consider what the difference in wods means.

Superhero huh...

[She wasn't really considering herself a legit superhero, but with these powers...]

Thanks, I'll try.

What else is a magical girl, really? Consider their history.

Thing is we don't have magical girls back home. Just superheroes.
