Behind the dorms, Tuesday Afternoon

"Today," Arthur called, once enough had gathered on the field, "We have two matters to discuss with you before we continue to the work of the day. First of all, all of you who have 'phone numbers', please exchange them with us and your fellow reserve members. This will help communication come the next attack. Also, you may have noticed the magic and support reserves that are currently being set up on the island; if you have any skills to lend there as well, I'd like you to show up. We can use everyone we've got." That over with, he rolled his shoulders, and nodded at the modded, oh so modded puppy up front. And then at Leto. "Second of all..."

Leto glanced at him, and then turned to the group. "We have decided to have Zack join us as leader for the reserve. His military experience will certainly be useful, and with the three of us to organise you will get a quicker response to any questions you might have." Also, Zack was cheerful. That could be an advantage, at least during planning meetings with Arthur.
 
As long as Zack didn't try hugging him in front of Leto, all should be fine. Arthur scraped his throat. "Now that that's over and done with, today is about learning what you're dealing with. I want you all to pick a partner who uses a weapon you have no proficiency in. Today, and over the course of the week, the two of you should learn as much as you can about the weapon, and the strategies that can be used with it."

"And as usual, if you have any questions or anything you want to discuss, don't hesitate to talk to us," Leto added.
 
"That will be all," Arthur finished, and nodded. "Get to it!"

It was chakra, but whatever. Watch Ino slowly give up on explaining the difference.

"Okay, good. If I'm getting tired, I'll stop. Full stop. Chakra exhaustion can kill me, and there's almost no one here who'd even know why--oh! Right. I don't have many, but--" Ino dug around in one of her pockets and held up a small pill. "This is a soldier pill. If I faint from healing too much, make sure someone forces one of these into me. It's not the same as rest, but it'll keep me from dying 'cause I over-exerted myself. Do not let anyone else take one, I don't know what they'd do to someone from my world. Hyuuga Hinata's the only other one in the school from my world--if she's around, tell her 'cause she'll know about them. She's white-eyed with short blue hair and super shy. Be nice. If I take one while I'm awake, it just means I'm boosting my chakra so I can finish what I'm working on."

Wasn't it lucky that Ino could talk a lot? "Battle skill-wise, I'm more of a distractor than anything. Illusions, disappearing and reappearing elsewhere, making it look like there's more of me than well, the one of me, looking like other people. Minor fires. I told you before I can walk on water, on walls, up trees."

"A soldier pill," he repeated as well, neatly. "I'll remember about your Hinata, then."

It was that Arthur was from the Dark Ages, or that might almost have sounded like insinuating-- nevermind. "I noticed the illusions last week." Beat. "...Walk up trees?"

Hopefully not while Tony was blowing them up.

Uh, no. That'd be bad.

"Walk up trees, um, probably easier just to show you...?"

Rather than say anything, Arthur gestured grandiously at a tree. "Have at."

She snickered, but didn't snark anything back, even though she totally could've, and nonchalantly walked to the nearest tree.

There wasn't even a pause in her stride as she continued walking up the tree, even as gravity messed up her hair and tugged at her shirt. Ino glanced over at Arthur when she was hanging upside down from the largest branch, only her feet touching it. "See?"
