OOC: Hello and Welcome, we're starting our assessments for class 1a here. While this is mostly physical tests, it gives a good ball park of what your character can do, and might even give you some insight on what to work on. If you'd like do a personal assessment with a specific teacher please state so in your first post OOC! Currently the teachers willing to aid are pinned in discord chat. It's as simple as saying in OOC: "I'd like ____ to do have tutoring or a personal assessment with ____." After this thread you can align with who you'd like to help you and go on from there to make a thread after this. Also feel free to mingle a bit before I begin the exercise prompts. Here's the list of exercises so you guys have time to think of your character's actions. These will be ranked for individual exercise and then ranked overall for the class. (Just to help foster those rivalries and give some good ol braggin rights!  ) General Assessments: Canon:Agility=50 Meter Dash + High Jump + Long Jump Strength= Sit Ups + Push Ups + Grip Test Coordination= Ball Throw + Side steps Non-Canon:Cement Block Bust 50 meter Swim ___________________________________________IC: With a laptop in hand, Robert waited for the 1st years to start rolling in. Terebii asked for results, so he'd deliver with proper data entry of each student and how they faired. Kagayaku already said he'd be more than happy to assists, and then came a few others who'd volunteer as well. The majority of the test would take place in the training fields, but there were a special ones the man would go ahead and add to make things interesting. Once the students entered with their teacher, he'd waste no time in introducing himself. "Good Morning,
My name is Dr. Brine, the new school "nurse." I'd like to welcome you first years to the yearly Apprehension Test, where we see where you stand as heroes. Many of these tests are simple physical fitness tests that you may have done in middle school. The difference is, you are allowed to use your quirks for each and every activity. If you'd be so kind as to follow along, please be sure to try your hardest so we know where everyone stands, and I can submit accurate data within our system. Any questions?" He was brief and professional, with a hint of not wanting to be there. He was here solely to impress Terebii, not because he genuinely wanted to. It was also quite clear, he wasn't exactly used to talking to kids. It was his first school job, to be brutally honest. Beside him, were a line of radar bots. They'd line up accordingly based on the activity, and aid in calculating data. Legal Name: Robert Brine Alias: Dr. Brine Quirk Name: Seafoam Picture: Notable Achievements: Not much is known of him. He's one of those heroes that blew up overnight. A s mall time hero from Kagoshima JapanNew hire at UA as school nurse |

Yoichi was stretching as she considered the tests. I've got the upper hand with a lot of the agility and athletics... but my quirk isn't as resourceful as the rest of them. Koito will have me at anything related to speed, and others will be able to really push the limits with their Quirk... so I have to put all of my body into this! It's my moment to show all the years of training!
She straightened up, flexing her fingers and hands, frowning at her clenched fist. This is where she proved herself. Yoichi didn't have the luxury of being born with a strong quirk. She had to train hard, every step of the way. There was no way she was backing down now!
Sit-ups. Push-ups. Grip test. Ball throw. Those are the four that I have a chance of being the best, even against the rest of this class's quirks!

Yann wasn't nervous, he should know, he has told himself that 26 times already.
At least the complexity of the arena served to draw his attention to something that wasn't constant self-reflection, it was a PE court, as he remembered it, except wiht a lot more, uh, mechanical nuance(?) to it? To not call them hazards, or perhaps they are hazards, that's kind of the point, he figured? His quirk would be able to finish that train of thought for him once they were actually turned on. Yann stiffened up and paid attention to the new professor...nurse? Medical specialist? Hold on did he get that word correctly, 'apprehension'? He went on to wave it off as some cursory tests that he would've done already, so he must've misheard something. At the very best, the rabbit felt a sense of relief that he could actually stop feeling awkward about jogging laps at a deliberately slow pace because he was physically unable to not cheat at it.
Yann had very complicated questions that weren't at all relevant to executing the task at hand, he has learned not to make those.

Shizo wasn't too excited about these assessment tests. He wasn't nervous or anything, it was just going to be a bit mundane for him. His quirk didn't really help with any of the tests lined up for them, and the swimming portion it was actively detrimental. He was probably going to rank low in this class as everyone used their quirks to help them... he'd still do fine though. He was in incredible shape thanks to all the grueling training he'd been put through before coming to UA. His quirk might've been useless for this stuff, but he'd make do regardless.
Really the only things he was worried about was the cement block and the swim tests. The block he could handle depending on the size, he didn't much fancy the swim test though. Swimming was a bit dangerous for him. If he even accidentally used his quirk it could cause issues, at the very least he'd want to be sure nobody else was in the pool when he went...
"Dr. Brine, about the swim exam. I do know how to swim in emergencies, but large bodies of water are dangerous for me to be in with my quirk, especially dangerous for others. Water and electricity and all that." Shizo said "I'd like to ask to be excused from that exam, or at the bare minimum that nobody else be in the pool while I take it. I don't want to accidentally discharge and fry someone."

Karin was also prudently stretching next to Yoichi in preparation for the assessments, but didn't particularly require too much, just the basics in order to loosen up. The list of activities presented appeared to be extremely favorable for her, as eight of the ten allowed her anywhere from a significant to overwhelming advantage with her quirk, on top of her already incredibly formidable baseline performance. The other two, she had no doubts she would be perfectly fine with, even if it might not be as extraordinary as the other areas. Six years of military training and field work would tend to do that for you. Given that, Karin had no concerns whatsoever going into the assessment, and was very relaxed and confident. Moreover, her two primary points of focus were, firstly, not disappointing herself by performing anything less than she was capable of, and secondly, a musing interest in seeing which, if any, other students would be able to keep up with her, and for what areas. She idly wondered if her own performance would be inspiring or demoralizing to the other students, which would also provide some insight into what their type of mental outlook might be. That aside, this Dr. Brine individual would be helping oversee these assessments, and if he asked her to try her hardest, then she would oblige without delay. For now, she felt no need to speak up just yet, patiently and dutifully awaiting further instruction, or if anyone else wanted to talk beforehand.

OOC: I'd like Koito to get some tutoring from Thunderclap or Gigabite (both if possible lol)
________________________________________________________
Brine would jot something down when Shizo spoke. The electricity user... "That's fine." He'd pause before adding, "If you hurt yourself, I'll be on standby." He made note of things like posture and outward confidence. They didn't have much to do with performance or quirks, but they were important pieces of information a teacher could use.
With bouncy steps, Koito marched out into the practice field. A smile decorated his face as he saw some of his classmates stretch and prepare for these exercises. With introductions out of the way, he had a vague idea of who everyone was and what kind of person they were. This group was... different, but what mattered most was skill. Of these students, Koito already projected he was great, and now was the time to live up to these standards. "Wow, a school nurse that's a guy. A man nurse... Gurse? Murse?" He chuckled out loud, Brine would promptly ignore his comments and jot a few things down.

Kachiya almost didnt come to the physical exam. She hated them back in middle school and she didnt even want to think about how she would stack up to her classmates...
Then the bomb dropped... they could use their quirks. She never felt such a strong desire to turn tail. Would she be allowed to have the medium she needed? Even if she could, she failed to see how her quirk could help her here. Everyone was going to see how horrible she trully was!
Shaking, she would begin her stretches, shrinking in the shadows. Words of encouragement from others rang through her head but those words only served to keep her here as she studied the tests she would have to perform

Assessment time. Here came a moment to show off the skills she had honed from years under the thumb of her mother. All of these played very well to those strengths and she intended to fully score high marks in each. Seeing one of the portions of the assessment made her go wide-eyed then crack a smile. That person would've loved to have been here for that particular portion. Just knowing she was going to likely hear about them was enough to light a fire inside to try her best and not just because she had trained for it. But to show she could do this. She could protect someone. She had the strength to try.
She then noticed that Karin person from before. They were attending U.A. under orders if she recalled correctly. Sicily was sure their capabilities if she was assigned here were going to be impressive no matter what. If she could match them at the very least or come close or in the off chance she could surpass them in at least one category...that would be enough. And maybe...she could try to be less...confrontational.
She approached them, doing some of her own stretches and wriggling her snake hair as a warm-up. The twin large ones on her left and right did their own warm-ups with one politely bowing to Karin.
"You'd better be as capable as you made yourself out to be. If you held back, that'd be pretty insulting. Anything less than your best and I don't think I could stand you." she only side-eyed Karin while the twin snakes AVernus and Stella apologetically swayed left and right. "Do NOT disappoint..." she added sharply. That was...friendly, right? Not hostile. A friendly contest. Yeah. that was it! She smirked to herself with pride. Right. SHe had to have nailed it...as a start at least!

"Ah." Karin's attention shifted at noticing the approaching figure. It was the snake-haired girl, Silverbright — no, Sicily, it seemed that this one wasn't too fond of her family — and the two predominant snakes were also named creatures. "Good morning, Sicily-san, and to Avernus and Stella as well," she returned the greeting with a bow of her own. The pink-haired girl offered a smile as she browsed her mind for the right words: a smile was really the only thing she could do in unfamiliar situations, a gesture meant to alleviate the emotions of the recipient, or so she had been taught.
"The proctor has asked for our full efforts as these assessments are aiding in U.A. data collection, so giving anything less than my true strength is unacceptable. I hope that this is sufficient for you?" Karin tilted her head as another thought occurred to her. "I must apologize, however, as I was not present during the entrance examinations. As a result, I am not familiar with the capabilities of any of you as my classmates, so I suppose this will be my first time observing them? I can only estimate my own results, but not in any comparisons to everyone else." She shook her head briefly. "I think it would be disappointing if I were not bested in a single category. That may be cause for concern for the future of our generation of heroes, no?"
The same gentle, kind smile returned to Karin's face. "Please make sure to do your best as well, Sicily-san. I would not want others to underperform after witnessing my capacity."

Yoichi didn't pay attention to the others. She knew, knew, that they would undermine her. Try and hinder her progress. It seemed that everything her mother drilled into her mind was coming true. Other people were a distraction, that's why she had never had anyone else to talk to outside of her mother and the staff. There was only the pursuit of power, and pushing aside anything that would stop it.
She stretched and twisted, limbering up in a routine she knew all too well. Everyday, for ten hours, until her muscles were sore and her bones ached. The few occasions she had rebelled against her training routine had seen her locked in a cupboard for four days with no food, light or anything save for the rats in the dark. Yoichi shivered. She wouldn't make that mistake here.
Then she was ready, and turned to their teacher with an expression beyond what she had worn in class. It was the face she had worn at the exam. Focused. Serene, yet strong. Yoichi cast all distractions aside, and prepared herself to show this school exactly what she could do.

Shizo nodded appreciatively at the nurse. If all went well the extra precaution would be unnecessary, but he'd much rather be safe than sorry when it came to this. Now he could properly focus on the task ahead... he looked around to the others. Yoichi looked like she did back at the entrance exams, he wanted no part in poking that time bomb... Sicily and Karin seemed to be... he couldn't tell if they were being friendly or super passive aggressive... also steering clear of that. Koito was Koitoing... steering clear...
Then there was Yann, who seemed lost in thought, and Kachiya who was... visibly freaking out. Guess he knew who he was talking to before the tests. He walked over to her to stretch next to her for the warm ups.
"Hey, relax. You'll be fine. You might not be able to use your quirk very much for this, but you aced the entrance exams with it. You're going to be fine no matter how this turns out." Shizo said reassuringly "and you're not the only one whose quirk won't be any help today. I'm in good shape and all but my quirk is gonna be near useless here. So don't sweat it alright? It's gonna be ok."

OOC: Koito is koitoing xD LOL But anywho, this round of posts will consist of the three agility activities. Use your quirks as you see fit to excel in these activities. Or if your quirk isn't suited for the task at hand, just make a realistic description based on how you think your character's athleticism is. The posts should be schemed rather simply to depict what your character does. This round can have up 2 posts from each person. One dedicated activity post, and if you'd like to post your character's reaction to their classmates, you can. Once the agility section is done, we can move on to the other stuff.
_________________________IC:
Koito rolled his eyes as the girls were already poking their chests out at one another. He was feeling good, and hadn't eaten too much... which was good. If he were to actually put his all into these activities, he knew he'd be blowing chunks. For whatever reason Kachiya was freaking out, but Shizo was nice enough to lend a word. Such concern for the competition... Koito took small notes of each student as he prepare his game face. "Easy peasy, let's do this!"
Perhaps this wouldn't be so bad. All this competitive energy would at the very least make things entertaining. Robert hoped every class would bring similar grit so today wouldn't bore him. While watching the exercises was fun, he still had to do the data entry after everything was said and done. Perhaps he could lean on Kagayaku to handle some of the load. He shook his hand the other day on wanting to help. Hmmm. Anyway.
Clapping his hands to garner some attention, he- "Okay okay okay. Settle down, and leave the energy for the exercises! Let's all work hard and score well. We'll warm your legs up with the long jump first. Then high jump. And lastly the 50m dash" He said, first tapping his pen on the top sheet of paper. Agility.
One by one he'd line students up to each agility exercise and click a remote for the radar robo's ready.
@kachiya "Ready... aaaaaaaand, GO!" Why was she so nervous? This was a hero school... she should have known something like this was coming. Brine shook his head.
@sicily "Ready... aaaaaaaand, GO!" She openly challenged the other girls. He sure hoped she put on a good show!
@yoichi " Ready...... aaaaaaand GO!" One of the prideful students. Well Robert wanted to see if the bite matched the bark.
@shizo " Ready...... aaaaaaand GO!" This kid seemed overly cautious. Hopefully the second guessing didn't ruin his chances.
@koito "Ready... aaaaaaaand, GO!" He was acting like this would be a walk in the park. Did he not have nerves, or was he perpetually in lala land? The results would decide.
@yann " Ready... aaaaaaaand, GO!" He was a lot quieter than the others. What would it mean for his performance?
@karin "Ready... aaaaaaaand, GO!" Another self-confident student. She saw herself as above this crop of kids. Would the result show that?
_______________________
"Oh Oh oh! Lemme take a crack at this one first." Brine would reply with a deadpan face, but an open palm gesture for the boy to go ahead. Koito would wait for the proctor's mark and begin walking to the white-chalked line before the sandbox. The effort was a nonchalant one, shoving his hands in his pockets and taking a step before just taking off into the air. Slowly but surely, he's float over the box and land promptly on the other side with a smile. The robot would exclaim with both hands up.
"CLEARED!"
Koito would be more patient on the other exercises and wait his turn for the high jump. Once it was his go, he'd salute the other students, and launch himself into the sky with a vector plate. Limbo would just continuously carry him upward until he was a spec. The robot would exclaim with both hands up.
"Infinity!"
Lastly came the 50m dash. Now this would be delicately done. Whilst Brine prepped with the "ready and," Koito gifted himself a large vector trap under his feet pointed toward the end goal along with another at the midway point. Seemingly this one was the only one he concentrated for. On go, the spiky haired teen was propelled faster than anything he'd shown before. In fact, the jolt forward was so violent he was landing on the midway vector in a hand stand, albeit barely able to even maintain his "normal" unnatural gift of balance, coordination and orientation. Simply put, a human body was not meant to be propelled that fast. Koito was waiting until he was physically stronger to test arrows this strong out, but if it were for a high test score... his physical safety didn't matter. Across the finished line he'd arrive, but he wouldn't stop. There was too much momentum. His blur of a body would abruptly halt as he force himself into limbo. Much like he predicted, he erupted vomit, and there were some ruptured bones from the unnatural propulsion and halt. As the teen fell into a pained fetal position, the robo would exclaim with both hands up.
"2.58 seconds!" Some robos would arrive with tanks of water for Brine to heal Koito with his super-healing Seafoam. For now he'd just drape the foam covered Koito with his jacket, and scream " NEXT!" for the next participant.

The animosity and solemnity that surrounded Yann in class seemed to flare up once again. He had half a mind to greet everyone, wish them luck perhaps, but he feared he would break some sort of unspoken concentration.
Yann was a bit flummoxed by Koito's presentations and how he defied the entire purpose of a standarized test by just defying the laws of gravity, or physics, as he believed it worked. Yann gave a quick, vertical hop as the next person in line was called just in case the person behind him didn't have him in their sightlines, giving a floaty strut towards the start of the long jump. Yann arrived and sat down on all fours, as if to briefly decompress while he adjusted his posture, it's been a while since he has had room for this, and it might be a bit more difficult without, well, a hazard to really put the rest of his Quirk into overdrive, perhaps if he just imagined that he forgot to buy the groceries on the way back home...
Remembering that he was stalling the test was motivation enough, prompting Yann to focus his weary eyes and depart. Despite its flatfooted stance, Yann sprinted off with surprising speed on all fours, leaping off and upwards with a tenacious vault that took him to surprising heights before landing into the sand with a slightly scrambled skid as he had to suppress the urge to just continue running for the machines to get an accurate measurement. Yann sat still and shook his head off to dust off his fur, what was that, uh, 32 feet? He wasn't exactly sure how much that was in meters. Oh wait, that's the number, he could move on.
Still on all fours, Yann scampered off to the high jump, which gave him a bit more trepidation. He could do high jumps as well, but being airborne, leverageless, helpless for such an extended period of time put him on edge. He internalized the cushioned mat before him and shook his head, a hop, step, and a leap that flung him upwards with a grace that he retained all up until he reached the zenith of his jump, after which he gormlessly stared at the floor quickly approaching him and realized that he didn't need his Quirk to understand that he wasn't going to stick the landing, so he allowed himself to fall flat to absorb most of the impact, which at the very least shook off most of the sand from the previous exercise. Well, that wasn't so bad. Ten-ty something? His ears rung a bit and he still didn't remember what feet amounted to.
The 50 meter sprint was much more his style, and Yann would eagerly brace himself at the starting line. Yann swayed his head to get his ears off the ground as the get and the set were called, and with the pop of the "Go", Yann shot off, gliding across the ground in a series of tight hops across the track, making a final, taller one past the finish line to regain control and skid to a stop. It was hard to tell from his quadruped posture if Yann was exhausted or simply contemplating a success, both, it was absolutely both, and the time of 2.34 seconds reflected that well. Yann exhaled with relief and took a few hops away from the track as to not disturb further tests, reaching for a small balisong that he flicked around with clicks and clacks to reveal a thin comb that he would use to try and wring the rest of the sand from his fur.

"Yes, sir." Karin immediately turned her attention away from Sicily as the proctor announced the beginning of the assessments. It seemed that the agility tests were indeed first, which was a bit of a relief for her, as her methods of dealing with these three were all identical in nature. It'd serve for a good warm-up, at least.
Walking up to the marked line at the long jump sandbox, Karin would observe it for a moment before pausing and crouching down, with her hands also resting on the ground beside her. The people around her would begin to feel the ground trembling with force, and only the very acute would notice that her feet and hands were not quite touching the ground, the smallest margin in between them. Karin's invisible quirk, Wind Shroud, had a maximum expansion capacity of around five meters of extremely pressurized air. That was more than enough to send her flying as if shot out of a cannon, but the tension in her current state was palpable. Her intense eyes matched her level of concentration. At her ready, the girl expanded her shroud to full size, leaping forwards at a 40-degree angle for maximum distance with minimal air resistance, as a massive hole was gouged into the earth behind her, blowing a plume of dirt into the air as her form soared through the air and crossing the entirety of the sandbox and beyond in the blink of an eye. Her in-flight form was not the most graceful, her hands in front as if diving, letting the shroud pierce the air in a more aerodynamic manner, but she managed to land on all fours off in the distance, using her hands to balance her after returning her shroud to a restricted size of only a couple of centimeters. Calmly walking back to the testing robot, she seemed to be levitating just off the ground as she awaited her result. "Cleared!"
The high jump, well, the same principle would apply here. Giving herself ample room from anyone else nearby, Karin returned her hands to the ground beside her, hovering just a couple of millimeters off the surface. All that was left to do was use her full force to take off like a space shuttle. The thought was mildly amusing, so she mentally counted down from ten in the tone of one of those announcers. Although, when she reached eight, the massive tension in the small gap between her and the ground was already critical, so she just expanded her shroud to maximum height beneath herself and jumped, letting herself fly as if shot out of a cannon directly upwards at a 90 degree angle, leaving behind a small crater of dirt where she had stood. "56.4 meters!" Not that she could hear the robot right now this high in the air, of course. Landing was the more complicated part, but her quirk could handle most of it. As she fell, Karin kept her arms and legs bent and leaned slightly to the side, letting gravity carry her downwards while re-expanding her shroud to full size all around her. Upon impact, the girl would initiate a standard combat roll to the side at the same time she started to reduce the size of the wind shroud, causing it to cradle her form and alleviating most of the impact force. Karin was still about a meter off the ground until she felt stillness, before standing back up and walking back over to the test robot to view her score while her shroud returned back to a few centimeters, giving off the unique impression that she was walking down a small invisible flight of stairs in the process.
Now, the 50 meter dash. By the proceedings of Karin's previous two tests, it was not that difficult to predict what she was about to do for this one as well. But, rather than prioritize maximum distance like in the long jump, her velocity mattered here. Comparing to her long jump performance, she aimed for a sharper angle of 25 degrees. It should be just enough to get her over the 50 meters in one go without falling short. 20 would probably be faster by maybe up to a tenth of a second, but she had doubts about its efficacy in distance. There was no use debating about it internally, what she went with was the one she had chosen. Karin built up the overwhelming amount of air pressure required as soon as Dr. Brine first began to pronounce his 'Ready', and as soon as he set the girl off, she had already cleared the 50 meters like a shot from a cannon, fully outstretched horizontally with her arms in front of her as if she was diving into a pool, using the wind shroud in front of her hands to cleave through the air as she flew. The synthetic track did not get blasted into the air like the dirt had the previous two times, but there was still a visible indent from her starting position. Prioritizing speed above all else, there was no way to salvage this landing, and Karin ended up tumbling as she skidded several times across the 'ground' a safe distance above it in the air, her shroud taking all of the damage she might have incurred. After a couple of bounces, the girl managed to correct her balance, righting her legs and dragging her hands along to slow down to a stop. In the end, rather than returning, Karin simply decided to sit down in the air as she flashed a salute and a smile to the proctor while the robot announced her time of "0.88 seconds!!"

She had gotten to show off during the entrance exams but now was the time to actually measure all the skills she displayed in said exam. She measured herself to be able to go at a fairly high speed and her overall strength was enough to take care of the exam bots. her jumping ability was only aiding by obstacles within the training grounds she wasn't sure how she could achieve an equally potent jump. Then again, she had been motivated for one such jump.
But looking at the long jump, things seemed to be okay in her narrowed eyes. She approached with both arms folded neatly against her chest. The arms then unfolded and swung to the sides gracefully as she craned her neck back ever-so-slightly and closed her eyes. The snakes from her hair extended outward with near-silent hissing. They would extend then make a slow motion towards the ground. They kept themselves just low enough to the ground to not touch then faced the ground and stared at it in preparation. The two bigger snakes instead faced forward toward the goal while a small smattering of the lesser snakes faced forward as well. Sicily got low to the ground and the snakes readjusted accordingly. Her left palm touched the ground ahead of her. She inhaled through her nose then exhaled through her mouth. As soon as her eyes snapped open, in an instant, the snakes nearest the ground shot toward it while the ones ahead shot forward with a loud collective hiss. The ones on the ground had propelled her forward by pushing while the ones ahead propelled her by pulling forward with a quick lunge. As a result, Sicily had zoomed forward, seeming to hover across the path. Her legs were tucked in along with the snakes as she propelled forward almost like a missile of sorts. As the goal was reached, she placed her hand down as she heard the "CLEARED!" alert from a bot, pushed herself upward with the help of some more snakes, performed a singular somersault before landing directly on both her feet with hands outstretched to her sides and eyes slowly opening. Just as she hoped.
Then her eyes cast skyward for the following high jump. She would engage in the same prospect as the long jump as she repeated her usual eyes closed and arms out routine. But this time, the snakes grew out a bit more as if purposefully extending themselves as they faced the ground oncemore. The bigger of the snakes of course cast their sights upward. Sicily then lowered herself to the ground with a fist and a knee resting upon it. The end result of her initial pose looked similar to her long jump except her snakes were more loose along the ground. She had done this before and now she just needed the proper motivation. Encouraging words and a certain smiling face resonated in her head. There it was. In the next instant, like before, her eyes opened and the snakes reacted with yet another collective hiss. The ones that lifted her up from the ground hung loosely in the air as the ones in front propelled her upward with great effort. So much so, the ones below had established a pattern wherein they began to coil around themselves in sort of flowery shape as Sicily continued to gain air. Near the peak of her jump, the coiled snakes suddenly unfurled by lunging in the opposite direction, creating a minor boost in wind pressure to give Sicily just an extra few feet of air before reaching her limit. "22.8 meters!" The ones that had given her her boost found themselves above her now as she descended, once again coiling around one another as she made her descent. She saw herself fast approaching the ground but looked only mildly concerned. her gaze contracted and she brought her entire body into a spin which in turn caused the rest of the snakes to spin around with her including the ones that had coiled around. As a result, she had managed to create enough of a difference in pressure to slow her landing which would still going to be rough if she didn't do what she did next. She tucked herself in and performed a combat roll forward while her snakes kept her from injuring herself by rolling around her body to cushion the fall. She then managed to standup on both feet and tossed back her hair, seeming to be satisfied with the result.
Finally the dash. She prided herself in her speed to some extent so she wanted to measure how fast she could cover 50 meters in. As she approached, once again her snakes extended outward but this time, they touched the ground and slithered daintily past her feet in droves. Eventually, Sicily herself was lifted off the ground and leaned forward with her body that now hovered over her cavalcade of snakes. The two large ones also extended to be the leaders of this pack. It was as if her entire hairline of snakes was now carrying her. She had her eyes open this time and put her head through more motivation. Just go for it. She took some extra breathes this time and focused on her Quirk. Go. She leaned forward and the snakes hissed as they took off with each of them moving flawlessly in tandem in an S shaped pattern. The combined efforts made her move much fast than she had been before as all the other agility test had her prep and make a sudden jolt. With this, she had picked up speed that was going to make her just a bit sick but she wasn't doing this for herself. This was for someone she wanted to be better for. With nothing short of her best, she grunted and the snakes hissed in reply. The last portion, they lunged forward for that last burst of speed which carried the girl across the line. "2.23 seconds!" She gasped for air and the snakes in turn retracted into their original positions as she laid on the ground. She quickly picked herself up and held her head. "Might've...overdone it..." she mumbled to herself.
