I can relate. I was without a computer for a few days back around Christmas. It was terrible.

WARNING: KIND OF CLICHE IDEAS.

I've been thinking of ideas for a rival team for ZSYT. That was going to be TWLH, but with their backstories and ideologies, I knew that they wouldn't be accepted into any of the academies so I changed them to the rogue antagonist team, leaving me still without an academy team to rival ZSYT (since TWLH would be more than rivals - they'd be full-on enemies if they were rogue and attacking other people).

Then I remembered a team page I posted a while back - ANGL. They were supposed to be background characters, maybe the team that ZSYT fought against in round one or two of the Vytal Games in the fic. But then I got the idea that the rival team would be the opposite of ZSYT, and I found this a little ironic with a team called Angel. Contrary to the team name, the members of this team would be very unhappy people. I'm planning that one member will have crippling anxiety, which two of the other members use against her while the remaining member is too nervous and awkward to do anything about it. The team would appear to fight well together, with similar fighting styles and good battle dynamics, contrary to ZSYT, where, if you didn't know them well, their fighting styles appear to clash and not work well with each other. But for both teams it's the opposite.

Anyways, once they get to know each other, ZSYT will end up being like a close-knit group of friends. Probably almost like family. The members of ANGL will be the opposite - they have a very bully-victim relationship with each other and there's no trust. And I plan for ZSYT, especially Zurina, to get extremely pissed when they see how ANGL's members treat each other. This would lead to the rivalry beginning, and eventually, the fight between Zurina and one of ANGL's members in the final round of the Vytal Festival, in which I plan for her to almost lose, but turn the tables at the last minute.

Like I said, my plans for ZSYT vs ANGL are a little cliche. And I haven't worked out all of the details yet. But I wanted to put this idea out there and see what you thought, mainly so I can fix any faults in what I have now before I start developing anything too much.
