Black Frontier's Training Regime

 **Shizuha:**Hello, Tsuyuzaki-san. Thank you for coming today.

 **Mahiru:**It's my pleasure. You were a great help during the Founding Day performance, so I've been meaning to return the favor.

 **Mahiru:**You wanted to talk about the upcoming hero show, right? I actually brought a helper along.

 **Shizuha:**A helper?

 **Suzu:**So this is the Frontier School of Arts dormitory? Everything's so clean and shiny!

 **Shizuha:**You're Seiran's...

 **Suzu:**I'm Suzu Minase!

 **Mahiru:**Suzu-chan has been studying action scenes, so I figured she'd be able to give good acting advice for the hero show.

 **Shizuha:**Oh, I see.

 **Suzu:**At your service, Lady Kocho.

 **Shizuha:**Hee hee, thank you for coming, Minase-san.

 **Suzu:**What kind of hero were you hoping to play?

 **Shizuha:**Since it's a hero show, my goal is to put on a surprising performance that's enjoyable for the children.

 **Shizuha:**Tsukasa, Lalafin...everyone is trying to come up with a performance that will appeal to the children.

 **Shizuha:**I also want to focus on that, but I've been thinking about it for so long that now I'm stuck...

 **Suzu:**Something that the kids will like... In that case, cool action scenes and poses are a must.

 **Shizuha:**Action...

 **Suzu:**When I was little, I found action movies and hero shows so interesting. Now looking back, they all had flashy action scenes.

 **Mahiru:**Oh I know what you mean. I don't remember the details of the action movies I watched as a kid, but I do remember being drawn in by them.

 **Suzu:**Yeah, there's no reason behind it, but children are just drawn to flashy action scenes. They're just cool.

 **Shizuha:**I see... I guess that's what it all comes down to, huh.

 **Mahiru:**Is everything okay?

 **Shizuha:**I did think about that. I know all children like dramatic action scenes.

 **Shizuha:**But it doesn't quite work with my Black Frontier.

 **Mahiru:**What do you mean?

 **Shizuha:**Black Frontier is the brains of the team—she invents all their weapons and stuff.

 **Shizuha:**She's stoic and a perfectionist—she's in a world of her own when she's focused on something... I don't feel like she's a good match for impulsive action scenes.

 **Mahiru:**Which means we need to come up with a flashy action scene that matches those conditions and will draw the children in.

 **Suzu:**Hmm, a flash action scene that's suitable for a stoic character...

 **Suzu:**How about...having her workout as a hobby?

 **Shizuha:**A scientist who...works out?

 **Suzu:**Yeah! A scientist who likes to workout—doesn't that sound interesting?

**Shizuha & Mahiru:**......

 **Shizuha:**I didn't think of that.

 **Suzu:**Black Frontier is the type to lose sight of everything around her when she's focused, right?

 **Suzu:**So maybe she started working out as a way to research different fighting techniques and then got hooked. Doesn't that sound plausible?

 **Mahiru:**Huh...that does fit her character perfectly.

 **Shizuha:**Yes, Black Frontier's stoic and perfectionist nature matches perfectly with working out.

 **Shizuha:**...This might work. Thank you, Minase-san. I think I might've figured it out.

 **Suzu:**Then let's get to it.

 **Shizuha:**Huh? Right away...?

 **Suzu:**I'm talking about working out. You've got to learn how to do it properly for your role!

 **Suzu:**I'll teach you the special workout regime I do every day!

 **Shizuha:**Thank you, Minase-san.

 **Shizuha:**13...14...15... Ugh...17... Huff...huff...

 **Suzu:**Don't touch the ground when you're doing push-ups! Push up slowly! And down! Let your muscles enjoy it!

 **Mahiru:**Enjoy...?

 **Suzu:**Come on, give it your all! You can do it! It's fun because it's tough!

 **Mahiru:**It's fun because it's tough? Suzu-chan, you're enjoying this too much.

 **Shizuha:**It's fun because...it's tough...!

 **Suzu:**Okay, good job!

 **Shizuha:**Huff...huff... This was...tougher than I'd thought...

 **Mahiru:**Are you okay? Let's take a break.

 **Shizuha:**No, let's do one more set. It was hard in the beginning...but now I'm kind of enjoying it.

 **Mahiru:**What!?

 **Shizuha:**I quite like pushing myself past my limits. It's like when you slowly and surely level up in games.

 **Shizuha:**Heh heh, one more set!

 **Mahiru:**...A perfectionist who is stoic when hooked onto something. Heh heh, Black Frontier is a perfect fit for you, Kocho-san.

Workout Hero

 **Black Frontier:**"Hup! Ha! Hiyah!"

**Fighting Members:**"Argh!"

**Spike Tape Monster:**"Ngh, my fighters... Black Frontier isn't flashy by all means, but she's powerful!"

 **Black Frontier:**"Hmm...that attack didn't have quite the force I was hoping for."

**Spike Tape Monster:**"What?"

 **Black Frontier:**"I'll start with some push-ups first... One, two, three, four..."

**Spike Tape Monster:**"Y-You! What are you doing!?"

 **Black Frontier:**"...17, 18, 19... Can't you see I'm working out? ...23, 24, 25..."

**Spike Tape Monster:**"Whaaat!?"

 **Black Frontier:**"28, 29, 30... My attack earlier was too weak... I'll fix it by doing a workout."

 **Yellow Frontier:**"There she goes again."

 **White Frontier:**"I wish she weren't such a perfectionist all the time."

 **Black Frontier:**"Next is squats... 1, 2, 3... Oh don't mind me. Please continue your fight."

**Spike Tape Monster:**"How dare you try to make a fool of me! You're gonna get it! Go, fighters!"

**Fighting Members:**"Yeaaaah!"

 **Black Frontier:**"...17, 18, 19, 20..."

**Fighting Members:**"Whoa!"

**Spike Tape Monster:**"That's impossible! How could you attack while doing squats!?"

 **Black Frontier:**"Next up, back muscles... 1, 2, 3, 4, 5..."

**Child A:**Hahaha! Black Frontier is hilarious!

**Child B:**Yeah! But she's so strong.

 **Black Frontier:**"...One set down. Thanks to the workout, my body feels a lot stronger. Now I'll be able to use that attack to its full capacity."

 **Black Frontier:**"Hah! Ultimate skill, Black Tempest Break!"

**Fighting Members:**"Aaargh!"

 **Black Frontier:**"Nice, my workout paid off. I am satisfied with my results this time. Nothing beats a good workout."

**Child A:**Black Frontier is SO COOL!

**Child B:**I wanna work out too!

 **Mahiru:**Great performance, Kocho-san!

 **Suzu:**Good work! Black Frontier's action scene was amazing. The children got so excited as expected.

 **Shizuha:**Heh heh, thanks. It's thanks to the advice from you two.

 **Suzu:**I knew you were going to use the workout concept, but I never imagined you'd start working out in the middle of the fight.

 **Mahiru:**I was surprised too, but Black Frontier's poses and fighting moves were so cool I couldn't tear my eyes away.

 **Shizuha:**Heh heh, apparently me doing workouts silently on the side was funny, so it got added into the script.

 **Mahiru:**That's so like Frontier.

 **Suzu:**Black Frontier's action scene wasn't just funny—your moves were so sharp and poses were so cool.

 **Shizuha:**...Minase-san.

 **Suzu:**Such sharp movements wouldn't be possible unless you trained hard every day. That's why the kids were so attracted to it.

 **Suzu:**It's because you worked really hard for it.

 **Shizuha:**Thank you... Just hearing you say that made it worthwhile.

 **Shizuha:**That reminds me. I made a special protein drink that's perfect for after workouts.

 **Suzu:**There it is! The famous Kocho blend!

 **Mahiru:**...Huh?

 **Shizuha:**You've heard? Here, this is my thanks to you two for your advice.

 **Suzu:**Really? Wow, thanks! I was just starting to feel thirsty.

 **Mahiru:**Suzu-chan, wait! You should probably prepare yourself for it first...!

 **Shizuha:**I didn't expect Black Frontier to turn into this kind of character... I can't wait to see the children's reactions.

 **Shizuha:**A scientist character who also likes to workout... I probably would never have come up with this by myself.

 **Shizuha:**It's all thanks to Minase-san and also Tsuyuzaki-san for introducing her to me. Interacting with students from other schools never fails to bring new ideas.

 **Shizuha:**I'll have to treat them to one of my special drinks as thanks.
