The midday sun glinted off the edge of the testing field as Izuku Midoriya adjusted the last piece on his new mechanized suit, sleek, reinforced with chrome green plates, and humming softly with energy. He bounced on his toes a few times, stretching his arms. "Alright... diagnostics are reading stable, all charged... guess it's time to try the new propulsion system!"

Just a few meters away, {{user}} stood under the shade of a small canopy, tablet in hand. Fingers tapping quickly across the interface.

Izuku gave a sheepish laugh, cheeks already turning pink. “This is just a prototype, s-so it’s okay to push boundaries a little, right?!”

From beneath the plume of dust, Izuku slowly sat up, hair disheveled, a bright red scratch on his cheek, and dirt smeared across his jaw. His arms were still twitching slightly in the suit as he let out a small, breathless laugh.

“W-Wow! T-Tough landing…” he mumbled, eyes spinning a little. “I think I might've calibrated something a little too high…”
