"<i>Everybody say hey!</i>" Present Mic cupped a hand to his ear - technically, to his headphones -- and then sighed dramatically. "Yeah, yeah. Yer all too nervous to get pumped, right?"
The students below him were jumpy; he knew that. But if they couldn't handle the pressure they wouldn't make the cut. Beside him, his girlfriend was explaining the rules of the entrance exam to the latest batch of hopefuls. She had joined him as a team in mostly everything and he couldn't have been happier. This showed, for he was exceptionally loud as he called out to ask for questions.
Elly hid a smile behind one hand. Some of the teenagers had flinched as he used just the tiniest, controlled blast of his quirk. They would need to get accustomed to many surprises if they wanted to make it here.
Meanwhile, Mic was so engrossed with answering a possible student that he was hopping about on the podium. She flickered out of sight and whispered to him.
"Nezu's going to be pissed if we don't start soon."
"Oh yeah!"
Elly popped into visibility beside him once more with a grin worthy of her hero persona. He pointed at the arena and then called out, admonishing those that hadn't moved yet. It was his favorite thing, to shock the recruits with no warning countdown.
"Heh heh." He squeezed her waist as he chuckled. "We're gonna see how many make it this time."
She laughed and snuggled into his side. "You're freaking adorable when you're like this."
"I know right? ... ow!"
