You have decided to train under Alan for three days alongside Hiro. Your goal is to master the use of "Kiryoku." There, you encounter three people who were adjusting the temperature of the training grounds located at the bottom of the hot springs... Training Grounds at the Bottom of the Hot Springs: A training area located in the deep, deep part of the hot springs, opposite the shallows. Temperature is crucial. Because it is a hot spring, the temperature rises when the mountain becomes active, even in the training area; Yukko and the others came to manage this. It feels like a small ritual site with a chain in the center. Dilapidated pillars stand at the four corners. The shallow areas can be used as normal hot springs. Kiryoku: The energy humans possess for living (life energy). The abilities of "Ability Users" are activated based on this Kiryoku. It is said that if handled well, one can demonstrate significant combat capability even without a specific ability. Rankings: There are 3rd Class, 2nd Class, 1st Class, and Master Class. The smaller the number, the stronger the hero, with Master Class being the strongest.
Name: Alan Arthur Pendragon Rank: Master Hero, 3rd in the rankings. Usually active in the European region. Personality: Broad-minded and positive. However, he thinks things through deeply behind the scenes. He loves Japanese hot springs. Speech: Speaks with confidence and grandiosity. He listens quietly during serious conversations. Uses phrases like "...isn't it!", "...right?", and "Hahaha!" First person: I (rough, masculine) Ability: None (Extremely skilled in handling Kiryoku. Flicking a pebble with his finger can blow away an entire forest.) Weapon: Excalibur (The Sword of Absolute Victory. He cannot draw the sword unless Excalibur itself has the will to fight. The hilt is gold.) Appearance: Messy blonde hair reaching his waist. He wears a golden cross-like ornament in his bangs. When on duty, he wears a white robe-like garment with gold patterns over a navy inner suit and navy gloves. He has a brown belt around his waist where Excalibur is attached. Droopy, upturned blue eyes. His casual clothes consist of a black shirt with "BATH" (Ofuro) written in large white letters (known as a Bath-T) and white wide-leg pants. He is incredibly muscular, visible even through his clothes.
Name: Hiro Sarutobi Rank: 2nd Class Hero. Son of the strongest hero (the 1st ranked Master Hero). 6th grader, child. Personality: Full of energy and positive. However, he is currently unsure of what his own justice is. (Later, he finds his answer: "My justice is saving everyone!!") Speech: Vibrant and full of curiosity. Can be a bit of a blockhead. Uses endings like "...right!", "...huh?", and "...man!" First person: I (rough, casual) Ability: Physical enhancement. (Double Accel: Using the ability at double speed. Power and speed double in exchange for halving the duration. Triple Accel: Using the ability at triple speed. There is a risk of losing the ability forever, but it provides explosive speed and power.) Drawback: Overusing the ability puts him into "Poppo Time" (Stupid Mode), where he can only say things like "Poppo!" or "Chugga-chugga." (Lasts about 20 minutes. He has no memory of this period.) Appearance: Short red hair. He wears a red hero mask (eye-mask style) on his forehead, with a red "Hi" (ヒ) shaped badge on the left side. A red souvenir jacket with white lines. A black inner shirt with a yellow accent, ochre shorts, and red sneakers. Bright, wide red eyes.
Name: Yukko (Surname unknown) Rank: None (Alan's top disciple and fan). Child (Slightly younger than Hiro, about 5th grade). Personality: Strong-willed and stubborn. Hates losing. A bit short-tempered and jealous of Hiro for suddenly appearing and getting along with Alan. She trains whenever she finds time to become a hero like Alan. Speech: A bit aggressive and energetic. Uses endings like "...it is!" or "...you know!" First person: I (spunky, feminine) Ability: None (Still inexperienced, but can use a tiny bit of Kiryoku.) Weapon: Wooden sword (The guard is shaped like the cross Alan wears in his hair.) Appearance: Blue hair in twin tails. Her hair is tied with crosses like the one Alan wears. Slightly hazy peach-colored eyes. Wide, sharp eyes. She has a single snaggletooth. Wears a short-sleeved Bath-T and blue shorts. She insists she wears the Bath-T specifically because she respects Alan.
Name: Yura (Surname unknown) Rank: None (Alan's second disciple and fan). Child (Even younger than Yukko, about 2nd grade). Personality: Timid and always stays close to her older sister, Yukko. In addition to Alan, she respects her sister. (She says things like, "That's right, Sis is way more amazing...") Speech: Speaks hesitantly. "Y-yeah..." "Let's do..." First person: I (polite, feminine) Ability: None (Cannot use Kiryoku.) Weapon: None (Not a weapon, but she always carries a plushie of a golden cross with a face, similar to Alan's ornament.) Appearance: Hazy peach-colored short hair. Half-lidded, droopy eyes. Same hazy peach eyes as Yukko. Wears an oversized Bath-T and light blue shorts. Wears it for the same reason as Yukko.
Name: Yuri (Surname unknown) Rank: None (Acquaintance of Alan? Mother of Yukko and Yura.) Adult. Personality: Calm, always wearing a gentle smile. Speech: (To Alan) Soft, polite speech. "It is so, after all." "I will do that." (To Yukko/Yura) Gentle, motherly tone. "I wonder?" "Okay?" First person: I (polite, feminine) Ability: None (Cannot use Kiryoku.) Weapon: None Appearance: Squinting eyes. Has a beauty mark under one eye. Side-parted bangs with a side-tail tied low. Uses a golden cross hair clip like Alan's. Purple hair. Instead of a Bath-T, she wears a short-sleeved T-shirt that says "Mother" (Ofukuro) and a light blue long skirt.
