Thankfully for Yugi she was a morning person and thus despite her exhaustion she was up before the others were awoken rudely by their hosts. She smirked to herself as she got ready and then fixed herself something to eat. She was glad she had because that meant extra time to center herself before the real hell of the training began. She had actually done the reverse of her fellows; training her quirk more than her physical body, but over the last few months that had certainly changed thank to Aizawa's meddling. Still, she knew there was still plenty she had to work on so she could without complaint. If these heroes thought to get to her so easily, they were going to be sorely disappointed.
She took the time as their training was explained to them to pull her hair up into a ponytail so it would be out of her face. She was calm and ready for what was to come despite knowing it was going to be exhausting. Still, she also knew it could only help the lot of them so it had to be done. Though knowing what her personal weakness was, she did have to wonder just how they were going to train her with it. The stamina was in the physical training, but her shields could only be so strong because she was such a powerful empath there was no way to shut it out other than digging herself into a more stable mind and staying there for the duration; something that would have Aizawa on her tail faster than you could say 'Bakugo is an ass.'
Sighing to herself, she nonetheless headed for the station that was set up from here. She snuck a quick glance at Atem, mostly to assure herself, then walked forward. She wondered if he knew just how limited her quirk actually was when it came to her shielding. Then again, she could be training the quirk itself and how she used it; that was a thought. Meaning changing the emotions of the people around her, but how the hell was she supposed to train that when most of her ability was her own draconic instinct? She wasn't sure, because she couldn't openly show her draconic form as it wasn't common knowledge and that was the only thing she could think of. Maybe her newer astral projection like ability was what the training was for; considering she still hadn't mastered it after so long. It was a thought, but she certainly wasn't going to back down just because it was unknown.
She was also determined to not use Atem's help for this as it was against what the training was for; even if he was her stability when it came to her shields. Oh well, this was not going to be fun and if she got a headache from it she was so sharing it with him. She took one final deep breath for calm then turned and walked to her training station; this was not going to be fun. And it wasn't fun, as it had been set up close enough to her classmates that she would pick up their emotions which were amplified so she was forced to use her shields actively. Her hands came up and covered her ears, trying to block out the overpowering and much too loud emotions she was picking up. It hurt, it all hurt so much! They were exhausted and determined and worried and each of them was trying their hardest to succeed. It wasn't long before her shields started to crack under the pressure and it was an active fight not to scream for the pain of it.
She wondered briefly if Aizawa had concocted this torture chamber for her and felt that if he had she was going to shift and stomp on him with her claws while he slowly died from the internal bleeding caused. She was doubled over, feeling warmth on her face and reaching up to wipe it to note it was blood coming from her nose. This was bad but she couldn't just give up. All around her the other students were being pushed to their breaking points as well as their quirks were tested and pushed beyond their limits. She couldn't give up and do any less than they. Something shimmered through the air and all the onslaught from around her went dead silent, dropping Yugi to her knees. Yep, she was definitely going to kill Aizawa if he was responsible for this, because now - probably thinking they were helping her - something had shut down her quirk. Except not everything she did was tied into that.
She figured that was to make sure she was able to function without her quirk given how badly it hurt her, but it bothered her on a deep personal level not to be able to feel the warmth of Atem's presence against her own. Her head was dropped forward and she didn't move for a long moment, but nor did she give up. Instead she caught her breath and reached inside herself for that bit of her that was other. It was difficult to stop everything she could do because she was a dragon and this machine wasn't made with that in mind. She felt her eyes go black, even as she was knocked into by flying projectiles she didn't have a chance in hell of dodging in her current state. It took her a long moment to adjust to basically being made completely deaf and blind by being cut off from her empathy, but she was hardly a weak female and wouldn't let it keep her down for long.
So she took the next few hits aimed at her, not even trying to dodge. Then when it seemed like the instructors would have to intervene to save her from her own stubbornness her starlight swirled around her in a wave and the next projectile hit a curling form of solid starlight. It form was clearly draconic and she knew Atem would know it for what it was, but the others had only seen it briefly before so the surprise on their faces was great. The projected dragon let out a trilling roar of fury, wings outstretched as a long tail curled around and into Yugi's lean frame. Wings caped over and deflected the projectiles, but the projection only lasted about thirty seconds before Yugi's eyes rolled back into her head and the starlight form disappeared. The combination of her empathy being shut down and using her last resort move finally drained her and she crumbled to the ground with a thump. For a long moment no one moved, to stunned by what had occurred before the machine around her was shut down and she was brought to the medic on sight to be checked over. Aizawa scowled at the girl's stubbornness, before grudgingly admitting to himself she'd done well. He turned to the girl's instructor and sighed. "That girl is the most stubborn person I've ever met, and that's saying something since I've met you. We'll have to teach her to stop overdoing it though or she's going to get herself killed."
He scratched the back of his head absently. "Honestly I didn't expect her to get that far with the training before passing out considering she barely managed the last time her quirk was shut down completely. I do have to admit, I'm impressed." He stalked off then, bringing the girl to be checked out knowing that she'd just stood up again some of the worst things he'd been able to come up with. Of course he'd helped make the training tailored to each student, that was his job. Still, she'd done well enough, even if he wasn't sure if that was a good thing or not.
