Alright, time for a round table discussion or some shit.
Over the last few weeks, things have been fairly calm around Attleton and I've been looking at ways to improve conditions both in Attleton and elsewhere, and I keep coming back to an idea I've had since the election just was busy to really put it out there.
I'm considering opening sanctioned and legal betting on fights that happen at the Attleton Colosseum. As a form of gambling, it'd obviously be regulated. Nobody under the age of 18 participating, for example, and I'd be keeping an eye on odds and payouts and making sure everything was fair and transparent. Likewise, I would be offering protection from the Guardian's office to any combatant that was approached or pressured into throwing a fight, and likewise prosecuting those who throw a fight for the purpose of rigging bets willingly.
I came to this idea because we've got a lot of people here with hair trigger tempers, super powers of some sort, just enjoy fighting, or a combination of the three, myself included. I figure if there's a legal way to get that sort of thing out of your system in a place where - should an accident or something happen - Genessia's normal death rules don't apply and people wake up fine a few minutes later, it would be best for everyone.
Last thing we need is a superpowered brawl in a busy intersection. However, before making anything official, I realize I'm the new kid on the block as far as Guardians go, so I figured I'd open the floor to anyone that may have a question or concern, and I'll do my best to answer things.

I definitely want the low down on the new arrivals. And while we're on the subject, the fuck happened to Bakugou's eyes? I've not been able to get a straight answer out of him.

It's unavoidable when they become Pros. Enemies will learn about their quirks sooner or later regardless. Given the time frame some of them arrived from, they had already taken that consideration.
Back in my world, we held Sports Festivals at UA to give students the opportunity to use their quirks. They all compete against each other to make it to the top, like the Olympics. They can focus their time to prepare for these events as well, and who knows, you could make it a fundraiser or something, make the spectators pay admissions. Add a couple vendors.
I'll swing by with them.
Ah... You rarely never get a straight answer from him anyway. Honestly, I don't know, he woke up one morning blind. He can finally see again.

Please tell me attendance is limited to family at those events. And the vendors are student run. Please.
[He sighs, running a hand through his hair. Why does everything about that world make him want to drink?]
You know when I'll be around. Do I have to worry about them talking up idiot vampires and getting possessed by a wind demon?
...That's good to know I guess.

Almost everyone attends Dante, including Pro Heroes. The event is a huge deal for the students to be scouted by Pros, so no.
[He doesn't even mention it's live.]
Although, I do understand your concern but it is something they will have to learn and figure out a counter measure. Even though UA ensures protection of their students, over protecting them will only slow their growth, that's why.
[He sounds blankly serious there, which may explain why he's semi-okay with Bakugou fighting honestly.]
Maybe the importance about demon possession, these two are bright and if anything. Here's me hoping they don't treat this world like some kind of RPG video game world. [Which he should give them that speech.]
I don't plan on telling them about the incident.

That's probably for the best. I do think Augustine has learned his lesson, so I don't think we've got anything to worry about there. Interestingly enough, only one other person came forward for a license, so maybe that's a good sign.
