[ The feed opens to show Ozpin within the sitting room of his manor in Gaze, hands folded over his filigreed walking cane. The glow of the moon combines with his overwrought wallpaper to make the background luridly green. He smiles thinly over his tinted glasses; he seems tense about something offscreen. ]
Good afternoon, everyone. I recognize it has been some time since I last discussed my services on this network... and so I wish to put out a call once again. For those who wish to hone their skills in combat, my name is Professor Ozpin, and I am glad to welcome students new and old.
As it happens, I have met with [ and here's an obvious flicker of annoyance ] several other combat instructors in town, and we have devised an event which all might enjoy. [ He turns his attention to the right, and the camera pans with him, to another silver-haired man. ]
Thank you, Professor Ozpin. [ He nods, turning back to look at the camera with a warm smile. ] Hello, everyone. I'm Terry Silver.
We'll be holding a martial arts tournament with both armed and unarmed divisions. We hope to hold it sometime in May, just for some friendly competition and a bit of motivation to learn and improve your self-defense skills. [ Will it stay friendly? Probably not. ]
All three of us will be offering lessons separately, and if you're a teacher with at least one student you can sign your own school up as well.
[ He looks to his right, clenching his teeth as he tries not to look too annoyed with Johnny. ] Anything you'd like to add, Sensei Lawrence?
[ Johnny moves in front of the two men who tower over him so he’s the prime focus of the feed from here on out. ]
Listen up, nerds.
This tournament is going to have some ground rules for anyone who wants to participate.
Rule number 1: No powers, magical bullshit, or any other crap like that. A real badass doesn’t need those in a fight. He- Or she beats the crap out of her opponent with their own two hands or a weapon in this case.
Rule number 2: These fights aren’t an all out brawl. This is going to be a test of skills. You’ll be awarded points in a match. You need three points to win. You’ll be awarded points for a clean hit to the head or body.
Rule number 3: No murder. This should go without fucking saying. We’re here to kick ass and take names. A real winner knows when he’s won.
And finally- Now, Paul!
[ The camera shifts slightly as a human-sized stuffed ninja wearing a “Super Awesome Ninja School” t-shirt is thrown into frame. Johnny leaps up and kicks it in the chest and out of frame before landing on the ground in one solid motion. ]
This is an open challenge to any of the other combat schools looking to start up. Next month, be there or be square.
[OOC: Green font is Ozpin, Blue is Terry, Red is Johnny.

Video; un: Uravity
[Ochako is already sort of bouncing up and down excitedly on camera, not-so-quietly vibrating over the idea of something so similar to home. Even if it'll be difficult for her without her quirk, she's pretty damn good with her Gunhead Martial Arts, and learning some new styles from an experienced master sounds rad as heck. Also maybe some weapons training, too? She does need something in the ways of ranged attacks...]
I'm best and hand-to-hand melee combat!! I already know some martial art forms, too, so please let me join in!! It sounds like so much fun, ehehe!
[Yes, the cute, bright-eyed, round faced, pink cheeked sunbeam of a young girl is asking to join in a SMASH ULTIMATE. Let Ochako smash, she craves violence.]
no subject
We're aiming for just one on matches for now but it could grow into something bigger than that in the future. It'd be awesome if we could make this a yearly thing.
[Seriously he loves that she's so excited about this. It feels more like this was the right choice and something the kids around here could use.]
You're in, kid. With an attitude like that I'd be happy to rep you in the tournament.
You can show me what you've got with my students and I'll add some shit to your skills too.
no subject
[Crazy hard being the understatement of the century. The Sports festival really challenged the student to think hard, use their quirks in the best ways, and overcome all obstacles - even their own classmates in the final event.]
One-on-one style was actually the final event there, so I'm used to that!! And an annual event like this would be so cool!! I'd love to participate any time, sensei! [She is. Quite literally bouncing at the idea. Martial arts! Sparring!! Learning new skills!! This is the kind of thing Ochako had been missing from her time Nippon - actually feeling like a Hero again.] I'll definitely do my best, I promise!! Thank you so much for looking after me, sensei!
[And yes, of course she's bowing, so Ochako dips off the camera's viewfinder for a second before popping back up again.]

It sounds bigger than any competition I did back where I'm from. Karate was huge in the Valley but that's about as far as it went Stateside.
So you made it to the finals back where you were from? That's pretty impressive- When I competed in high school I managed to win without losing a point in my freshman and junior years.
So if we team up I think we've got a solid foundation to win this thing. Welcome to Cobra Kai, kid.
...And you're going to have to tell me more about the other competitions and shit they put you through. We can look into incorporating some of that next year.
[Look. Johnny is just blown away by what this kid has told him. He's kind of instantly charmed.]

[Is...Ochako choosing her words a bit? Hm. Maybe. Johnny said no magic and stuff, but...technically a quirk isn't that. It's a genetic trait that almost everyone has in her world, regardless of if they're a Hero, student, office worker, or Joe Shmoe on the street - Ochako just never saw it as anything less than what it is at surface value. Besides, she can easily flip a grown ass man on their ass without Zero Gravity.
It just helps. ♥]
Mm! I made it up to the finals, and I got pretty far in, actually!! But my opponent outclassed me big time... I was totally outdone, ehehe. couldn't even land a single hit on him. [Ochako does look a little sad at remembering her utter defeat against her classmate and now best friend and current roommate, Bakugou, but it lasts maybe a second before her smile is almost...peaceful.] But I learned a lot from that fight. About myself, what I lacked, and what I needed to grow. I'm upset that I lost, but...it was a real fight. I don't think I'd have chosen anyone else to fight against, and I hope to have a rematch sometime against him.
[She grins, wide and huge, because there's no way Bakugou "I'm going to be #1" Katsuki isn't going to sign up for this kind of thing. If Ochako is lucky, she can a chance to fight him...and actually get a good hit or two in. They've both grown a ton since their first few months at UA.]
Hee, thank you so much!! If you don't mind me blabbing about it, I don't mind talking about it - it's pretty simple stuff.
