Re: School Days [Mika/Open]

HIROE MIYASHIRO
Rising above adversity was always Hiroe's sole strategy regarding the Shinoretsukin Academy. She had never been born from a noble class nor was she some prodigal talent like her fellow student Ajora. She was but a mere urchin from the Rukongai with dreams that certain students considered well beyond her station. Yet, she persevered. She showed all of them what she was capable of, turning her detractors into supporters.
Even some of those so lesser noble family students were singing her praise. Her next step was graduation. She had learned shikai, albeit immaturely, but that was only the beginning. The dreamer's eyes were set on the stars beyond. Bankai. Captaincy. Every single effort would be brought to bear to reach the highest realm of her talent imaginable. For now, though, she was hungry.
She placed in an order in the cafeteria for a nice pork bowl with rice and a refreshment in the form of a soda. After waiting a few minutes, her order had been prepared. Grabbing the bag, Hiroe decided to go outside to the courtyard for once. Gossiping with her friends sounded nice and all, but she wanted some time to reflect.
Stepping outside, Hiroe would tilt her head a bit, clearly surprised to see another student sitting out here. Hiroe squinted her eyes to make out the young woman's form. A fellow student, eh? She supposed she could talk to someone while they ate. Plus, she looked really lonely on a quiet day with good weather. Hiroe to the rescue!
"Hey there... I didn't know anyone else was eating outside beside me. My name is Hiroe. Hiroe Miyashiro. Mind if I join ya?"

A soft grin curved the woman's lips as she sat beside Mika. From the looks of it, she didn't appear to be the talkative type. It wasn't entirely surprising to Hiroe, either. There were social butterflies, and those who preferred to keep to themselves if they could help it. She appeared to fall into the latter category, but appearances could be deceiving, and they'd only just met. Maybe she could get her to open up with some old fashioned conversation. Digging into her pork bowl with a pair of chopsticks, Hiroe decided to drum up some commentary to fill the silence by asking Mika a rather simplistic question. It certainly wasn't much, of course, but it was the only one she had at the moment.
"Pleasure to meet you, Mika! So, what year are ya?"

"Special Accelerated Course, huh? I guess I'm in some pretty special company," Hiroe humored softly, her tone genuine in its praise as she took a moment to parse the information. She supposed those courses were typically reserved for prodigies and those who came from a class far above her own standing. Acknowledging that fact, Hiroe found herself curious about the woman's overall talents as a Shinigami. Her diminutive frame didn't particularly speak to Zanjutsu or Hakuda, so perhaps she was well versed in Kido? She could certainly pose those questions the more the conversation progresses, but for now, she'll respond to the woman's own inquiry.
"2nd Year. Pretty standard courses. I'm honestly a girl from the Rukongai with pretty big dreams of making it into the Gotei United. I've been eyeing seventh division once I graduate. What about you, Mika~?"

Hiroe found Mika's initial answer amusing, chuckling softly in response to how matter of fact it came across. There was no discernible pomp to her tone from her observational point of view. She simply stated it as if it was a matter of course. It was hard to get a read on this woman so far, but she seemed sociable enough, which suited the fledgling Shinigami with a dream just fine. If Mika thought she had slightest the woman by calling her average, Hiroe immediately waved her hand to assuage her worries as she continued to enjoy her pork bowl. Hiroe was prideful, but she was no fool, either.
Up until now, after countless months of hard work, she really was the average Shinoretsujin academy student. There was no sugarcoating it. Her efforts were being recognized now, of course, but it took her a year to reach those heights. Even so, some would claim that learning one's Shikai in that period of time was a remarkable feat in and of itself. At the very least, it felt good that others were beginning to acknowledge her efforts now. Gazing at the diminutive woman with curious golden eyes, Hiroe posed a question.
"Hah? None of them are really that interesting? You must have really patrician tastes, Mika," she humored, chuckling with morsels of food dancing about her mouth. Swallowing it down, Hiroe maintained her curious gaze.
"I could certainly understand the First Division, but everything else? Man, all of them seem so exciting to me. There's the combat division. The Stealth Division. Realm Enforcement. The Earth Division. Kido Division... the possibilities are endless. For me, I think the seventh is special. One of my best friends is a member of that division, and honestly... the captain and vice captain? They're pretty fierce women in terms of martial prowess and overall capability. I think for where I want to go, they're exactly the type of company I'd want to be in."

"Maybe we will. I certainly wouldn't seeing you around the barracks, Mika. And heck yeah! I'll be honest, part of my intrigue sure is rooted in pursuing missions on earth. Just imagining the vacations and clothing I can buy on my days off is enough to motivate me to keep working hard and finally graduate. I recently learned my Shikai, but I'm still not exactly a finished product in other areas."
Hiroe returned to filling her mouth with pork and rice while she thought of things to speak about with the small lady sitting beside her. She still couldn't get much of a proper read about her, but she seemed amicable enough. That meant something, right? Anyway, time to drum up more conversation. Oh, she supposed she could tell her about her recent trip to earth.
"Speaking of earth incursions, a friend of mine who works in a division allowed me to join her for a nice vacation on earth. Everything is really interesting there. The food, the clothing, the scenery... for someone like me whose only ever known life in the Rukongai and the Academy, it was like being transported to a dreamlike world. I ended up enjoying it so much that I didn't want to leave."
