Weirdos***

I had been skipping Cardio long enough. Well I actually just forgot about it. However, that was no more! So I was running down some streets, I didn't really know where I was going though. So I was just running. It would be difficult to tire myself out doing this so I ran at a constant speed. 

The run wasn't bad and felt kind of nice. Though it was a little boring. I paused and took out some earbuds to listen to music. While doing so I wondered how to improve my quirk. Obviously doing exercise affects it.

I could absorb energy actually, maybe I can figure out a way to absorb other types of energy? Though what do I do? Taser myself? I saw a guy skating along the ground with a quirk. Quirk usage was pretty regulated. I wasn't gonna stop him though, I wasn't a goody two shoes trying to stop every minor thing. Though I imagine some would do exactly that. 

I paused as I looked up at a sign. "Where the hell am I?"

I was running for a while and I just wasn't really paying attention, but I got pretty far. I jumped as an alarm went off. I looked around the corner and saw some dude trying to steal an ATM. He didn't even have a mask on. A camera was fixed just above him catching the whole thing.

It wasn't long until a hero showed up. I watched the man in what looked like knight armor drive by the man into the ground and handcuff him. It happened so fast it shocked me. This hero was… Ingenium I believe. 

He waved to me and I nodded. Watching heroes do their job was nothing new. However… I walked over, "Ingenium? How do you move so fast in that armor? You see, I want to be a hero and I already passed my exams to get into school. Though I have some questions about my costume and stuff like that."

He paused, "Hold on, I'm happy to answer your questions. First let me hand this guy over to one of my associates." The criminal guy grumbled about being carried. It became even more humiliating when he was handed over to what looked like a child.

Ingenium then turned back to me. "Now, back to you…" He looked at me and nodded. "Let me first begin with I know someone who asked me a similar question. He is even around your age now. He asked me why I wear the armor. At first it was a legacy thing. I'm not the first Ingenium and I hope to eventually pass that name on just like my father. However as i got to think on how to answer that question i realized. It was about looking stalwart."

I nodded along and Ingenium explained. "You see back in the day people looked at people with armor for protection. Mostly because either they were skilled or you knew they could help. Much like a police or hero uniform today. Though for your question it is similar."

He moved his hands and pulled out a photo of the previous Ingenium. The man had a lot less armor and it was spread out more on his body. "This was my father in his costume. His armor is far different than mine. However my quirk is stronger than his and support gear has come a long way."

I nodded, "So your armor is also support gear that boosts your quirk."

Ingenium nodded, "Simple as that. Your costume shouldn't just look flashy; each piece of it should have a function. On top of that a little piece of advice. Always try to incorporate pockets. He patted his side and pulled out a piece of candy. Not every hero helps defeat big bad villains."

He pointed to the thug I just watched him stop. "Sometimes it's just petty thugs, or sometimes it's a crying child. Pockets can carry handcuffs for thugs or candy for kids who need to be cheered up."

He handed me the candy, "I hope that helped you!" He skated away propelled by some engines. I looked at the candy. Each piece of the costume. I unwrapped the candy and put it in my mouth. Cherry flavored, Not bad.

That was actually pretty useful information. Much better than Rumi's advice on the matter. I mean she just wears a leotard. I now had an idea of what my costume would be. Though I think I want to look at some of the support items that are out there.

An idea of my costume right now was something that could help output the energy I could expel. This was because I didn't have much experience with it. However I certainly wanted to develop that part of my quirk just like the absorption of energy.

Something that would be really sick would be invisibility. Combine my strength with stealth and I'd be a monster. I should also put roller skates on my shoes. Get around faster and use less physical energy.
