Even during a training camp, Sabrina makes sure to always look impeccable. While brushing her long hair in front of the mirror in the bathroom, she glances at the rest of the girls.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAoXBA0Siw7d
Most of them are still asleep, unwilling to wake up early. Something that will come to bite them in the butt very soon.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAVLDj5PufXy
Vlad King: “RISE AND SHINE! COME OUTSIDE IN 10 MINUTES OR YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT LUNCH!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA4jJbqkQ3hl
Several groans echoed within the shared sleeping area, alongside a quiet giggle. Kendo got off her phone and started preparing alongside Sabrina, the vice-class president of the class.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAosUqYR0mgq
Kendo: “Still the early bird, huh?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAU4ZQCriHiU
Sabrina: “You as well.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAOBpq0EteEr
Kendo: “Yeah, but I don’t take as long to get ready as you. I’m just a light sleeper.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAvCwUAW9Bwv
Sabrina: “I think the only person who has more unruly hair than me is Shiozaki.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANADkfIqRMLS9
Kendo: “Haha, that’s true.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAMfrZoZdjw3
Putting down the brush and giving herself one more look off, Sabrina turns toward the exit.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAJlhn4BUO4K
Sabrina: “Well, I better leave and check on the boys before this place becomes crowded.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAn43hbmfmCQ
Kendo: “Wasn’t it my turn today?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAxklpoc4F63
Sabrina: “You’re welcome.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA5avd7A7BxC
Leaving her friend in the bathroom, she waves to her closest friends still struggling to get up. Well, more so Kaoru, who was still half-asleep and needed Aoi and Shiho to practically drag her out.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAxhRWMiIH7w
After that, she made her rounds across the lodge, stretching her senses to cover a few yards past the building. Not only to check for the intruders, but to also test herself.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAvSmhgSRA7O
No doubt that will be her training on this trip.
101Please respect copyright.PENANANnA0y9egzj
When she does, it becomes once again apparent the class divide. Unlike Class 1-A, her class has far more girls than boys. Only 4 guys in a group of 11 girls.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA4U8FCMjkuF
Sure, it was a little awkward at first, but they quickly got over it. Besides, they get some privileges, like the abundance of space in their room.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAL7988kL1cJ
Sabrina: ‘I’m almost jealous.’
101Please respect copyright.PENANA67BOpekYcb
But in the end, she didn’t mind. As long as she got to be close to those she cared for, she could deal with being kicked in the head occasionally by the restless Kaoru.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAgK1qYfheCq
Before long, she made it to the boys’ side.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAfiu7J7PT01
Sabrina: “Are you all done? It’s almost time to go.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAPVL0NvB0TW
After the sound of groans, she caught a stray thought from Kosei Tsuburaba, the one with the air shield quirk.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAroYUKgjTXI
Kosei: ‘What is she, our mom?’
101Please respect copyright.PENANAoLeb28ebYW
Sabrina: “I heard that, Tsuburaba.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAmamRWsBZuM
Kosei: “Seriously!?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANANoezxrMhT4
The sliding doors open to reveal a ready and dressed group of boys.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA1vIqah7rVV
Neito: “It isn’t quite fair to read our minds without our permission. What would Akashi think about you doing that again?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7KIKJCg3K
A slight twitch of the eyes. Kaoru, her only real weakness. Sabrina has gotten better, but old habits are hard to break.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAl4BMRPkUDZ
Sabrina: “Fine, sorry, Tsuburaba.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAi52IQaZ8Tk
Kosei: “It’s okay, I know it was an accident.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAlD8AJF29UL
Sabrina: “Thank you. I mostly came by to make sure Tetsutetsu was awake. As proven by the bus ride, he is a heavy sleeper. Worse than Kaoru even.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAaGiiF8yC6P
Tetsutetsu: “I’m awake! I’m awake!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAnJiRDR281I
Sabrina tilts her head to see Tetsutetsu rubbing his head before yawning.
101Please respect copyright.PENANACbK55X5J5b
Neito: “We dealt with it. Shall we go?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAJyFAvvkyUU
Sabrina: “Yes.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA0JXGXCmOeU
With the boys collected, Sabrina regrouped with Kendo and the rest of the class. They quickly lined up outside in front of their teacher, Vlad King.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA9k4O0n2BR5
Vlad King: “Good to see you all up. Ready to improve your quirks?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAge1gw4Iv0b
The class nodded.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAVbxjJiT81E
Vlad King: “Good! Class A has already started; let’s get going.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANADFXg5bKqSG
Without another word, the teacher led his class to the training zone. Whatever the pros had in mind to help them to improve even further, it must be crazy.
101Please respect copyright.PENANANGdnKX9sHK
But nothing could have prepared them for the sight of Class 1-A being practically tortured.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA8EWIWkKfXr
Sero was unleashing tape until blood started leaking.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAIe9vJQm2Z7
Bakugo was burning his hands in hot water.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAIj42LBJUto
Todoroki was sitting in a boiling container, trying to stay cool with his ice.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ2zUHkNb1
Kirishima was trying to endure several blows from Kiri.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAqcaH0zfG54
Uraraka was floating around, trying not to hurl.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA1S0ikDWW5D
Finally, Kaminari was lighting up the sky with his quirk.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAl8flY2wLAv
Kaoru: “What the heck!?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAXacd9fD4op
Shiho: “Brutal, but effective.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAaNpI0OrGE4
Vlad King: “And most of you will be going through similar training. Those whose abilities have allowable upper limits placed on them must raise those limits. Mutants and other composite beings must train their perspective organs and body parts. Then… there are the special ones.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAnzZ8JRXe1z
High above was the said special one, hovering in place with his legs crossed. Around him, several dozen rocks rapidly shifted between different materials. Rock to iron, water to ice, sand to glass, and more.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA1ud39x9p7o
Kaoru: “Really makes the ceiling I’m aiming for look literal.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAZaeSaDfy79
Vlad King: “Normally, we adjust the training based on physical growth-”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAqyQF9HEKut
Aizawa: “But we don’t have the time. Don’t laze around, Class B.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAUgbEqu0cnm
Turning to the new teacher, Kendo voices a concern they all have.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAxvoshy87uZ
Kendo: “With us included, we’ve got 30 people. Can six people really handle that many “quirks” at once?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAeky1zZ31gs
Aizawa: “That’s why they’re here.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAbGRWvOsJxM
Pixie-Bob: “That’s right! Four minds, one body!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAcYddXQVV3j
Mandalay: “With sparkling eyes, we rock on.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAs9mPre0qDa
Ragdoll: “We’ve come to lend a helping paw!!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAIMhYDrgBiF
Tiger: “Wherever, whenever, we’ll arrive.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA1hwVBhopkx
Pixie-Bob: “Cute, cat, and stinger!
101Please respect copyright.PENANA5pUuBYF1nW
“The Wild, Wild, Pussycats!!!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANASabp3sb0aH
The remaining pros on this training camp arrive and do the full version of their signature pose.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA5KVuFbymec
Ragdoll: “My quirk [Search] allows me to observe and monitor up to 100 people at a time! Their location and weak points too!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAKtG1eiiVgS
Pixie-Bob: “My [Earth Flow] will create a training ground fit for every last one of you!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAKfrsJauYuS
Mandalay: “And with my [Telepath], I can advise and instruct multiple people at once.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAOyoZfRuGRQ
Kaoru: “Wait, you have a psychic-type quirk!?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAfJqi4hIitI
Mandalay: “Well, close. I can only send information, not receive like Kanto or Midoriya… ”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAwkPYstnoQa
Mandalay: ‘If I could, then maybe… ’
101Please respect copyright.PENANAhPiHNxCEmE
To divert attention back to the training, Tiger explained his part in this.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAgeZco4FTfb
Tiger: “I’ll be charged of kicking, punching, and other violent services. I’ll be focusing on those with power augmentation abilities, with one exception.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAVmXNqfdx8z
Faster than she expected, Tiger launched himself at Sabrina and delivered a blow to her hand. It was only due to instinct that she could block with a psychic shield.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA1AetU7PIhI
But the blow was strong enough to send her skidding back a few feet.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAOvpWprJC3S
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA7qhFSreduV
Before Kaoru could do something foolish, Sabrina held her hand up.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAR9TF7kGGQv
Sabrina: “I’m fine.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAXxk83xpEPF
Tiger: “Your power is great, but you lack many options when dealing with physical opponents. As proven by the school festival.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAhFjReb3MVa
Sabrina: “Unneeded. You may be a pro, but I could hold you off or even win if need be.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAKd57j2KS1c
Tiger: “Perhaps, but can you say the same if there were more than one?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAIyPpjOGYOn
From above!
101Please respect copyright.PENANAKPwDNYY4TT
Sabrina used her quirk to pull herself back to avoid a drop kick from Kiri. But that wasn’t all; she had to shield herself from a surprise side punch from Kirishima.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAWlu9FpTR5d
Sabrina: “I see.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANABMc6XBt5z1
Kaoru: “That’s not fair!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAL3xPYpXtM8
Aizawa: “Hero work isn’t fair. Any weak point will be exploited.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA8O7i7TiVQk
Sabrina: “It’s fine; after all, this isn’t the tournament. Kadabra.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANArWlrzz1scg
Her mental creation shimmers into existence beside her, ready to battle.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAxsvyUNfjsG
But before battle could explode, Kadabra was enveloped in a green shell. The prince descends from above.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAELr6rqrdGy
Sabrina: “Seriously?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAV0hI6K8Iyw
Aizawa: “There is a severe power gap between those with psychic-quirks and those without. So we had to be a bit creative with how we train you past your limits. Part of that is challenging you to not rely on your summon.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA0BbUrvYG5Q
Izuku: “And the best way to challenge me is to train with Kadabra. He did take Kiri’s ultimate move without much damage.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAd7cpy0vVUs
Sabrina: “And since I take half the damage Kadabra does and still need to direct him… yes, I suppose this is good training.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA1sKRltNDeQ
Aoi: “Pretty extreme though.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAv2DbfmwDU4
Vlad King: “Think that’s bad? You’re going to have to teleport around the forest wearing this.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAD9CWjBbGsX
Aoi: “Wha-”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAE24VVnmwXi
She couldn’t finish the sentence before a heavy backpack was placed on her back. It was heavy enough to drag her to the ground.
101Please respect copyright.PENANADh4vmNpxfX
Aoi: “Darn it.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAKE5PU4eTLD
Shiho: “Doing good down there?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANASnHCsH9dgw
Aoi: “Ugh.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAvnw1gogIq9
Kaoru: “So what about me and Shiho?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAPuNnGbV4tp
Vlad King: “You’ll be fighting Midoriya as well while Sannomiya works with Ragdoll on testing just how much info she can retain and from what distance.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA1u0N4wpZOm
Shiho: “… Alright.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANATEyWwQZuHC
Kaoru: “Fine with me.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA6cymwNc8jx
With the surprising training tasks set, Vlad King went to the rest of Class B with their assignments. Most of them were already trembling internally from seeing how difficult Sabrina’s match was.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAgV6ymoD7Ug
Most of them were taken to their own training area except for Kendo, Monoma, and Tetsutetsu. The two melee fighters joined in on Sabrina’s training while Monoma simply watched, training his copying abilities.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAlv9L8IYOjN
Sabrina: ‘So I’m surrounded by one pro hero and four students.
101Please respect copyright.PENANARgTTBDbIRV
Kendo: “No hard feelings?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA5HZaBwdVjy
Sabrina: “Of course.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAvjY6lLb2FB
Tiger: “Now, we’re not going to all fight you at once. This is a training for everyone. You are the primary target, but in truth, this is a battle royale.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAWLuaM56OcD
Kendo: “So everyone for themselves? Got it.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA9T7EMH3Qcy
Kiri: “Nh.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAt21LnI1ZoA
Kirishima: “Heh, let’s do this.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAOv6v1AMW0F
Sabrina takes one last look up at the forming storm clouds where Kadabra and Kaoru join up with Izuku.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAEk8gGCLHBV
Sabrina: ‘Great, I have to stretch my senses as well. Kaoru was right; this is unfair.’
101Please respect copyright.PENANAhmAG7L7351
Tiger: “Ready?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAfVIoBv4Rzx
The group tenses within the dirt ring created by Pixie-Bob.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAWb5QatfBxg
Tiger: “Begin!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAnK1yKmyZHe
Sabrina: “Lock!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAP08dfI4vo6
With that moment of peace, Sabrina mentally commands her summon.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAVhHcVvx2QF
Sabrina: “Protect Kaoru!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAaTkEGL68cO
The command was given just in time for Sabrina to shield herself from Kiri’s kick.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAaqHLym5Khn
The locks were broken, and so battle was joined.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAnADpAHboBt
Tetsutetsu: “Kirishima!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAY4twZB83ty
Kirishima defended himself against Tetsutetsu’s passionate assault. That was two occupied, but that left three. Using the force of Kiri’s kick, Sabrina spins around and summons her Psi-Whips. Right in time to deter the charging Kendo and Tiger.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAlhHi86PQ3h
Kendo jumped back in avoidance, while Tiger used his quirk to twist around her attack. Again, Sabrina was on the defensive as Tiger slammed into her electric defense. But not for long, as she psychically pushes him back along with Kendo.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAGeap04CbVF
But Kiri wouldn’t be pushed back that easily. Blasting off the ground, she crushed Sabrina’s shield with a powerful strike to the gut.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAGtf6NOE81o
Sabrina’s mind went into overdrive as her body was beginning to feel the effects of Kadabra’s beating above.
101Please respect copyright.PENANASdJqh5fqkO
Sabrina: “Tch.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA0LHr0pWXcG
Thankfully though, Kendo decided to try her luck with Tiger, enlarging her arm to crush him. His physical strength, though, was enough to catch the falling weight.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAGnh1SiDTBU
This left Sabrina with Kiri, the most annoying opponent.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAPGvwEvnj4H
Before she could shock Kiri again, the girl jumped back and quickly went around Sabrina and delivered a decisive blow to the back. Or it would have, if Sabrina didn’t read her mind.
101Please respect copyright.PENANATmNHgxS8VX
Using telekinesis to move her body faster than she is used to, Sabrina narrowly twisted out of the way. Countering with a lightning palm, flinging Kiri away using psionic force.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAffPGjM9pXl
But she would be back after fighting off the shock. This couldn’t con-
101Please respect copyright.PENANAdNA1WF0pcI
A flash of insight, a sixth sense, was all that enabled Sabrina to grab the thrown Kirishima and fling him at the stunned Kiri. The result was both of them on the ground.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAaBtcVv97Xy
Kiri: “Rocky… ”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAOVTTGsI4pV
Kirishima: “Sorry, Kiri, Tetsu has gotten better.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAiOaTf1GBO8
Tetsutetsu: “Hahaha! How do you like-”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAmQFVecoLme
Tiger buries the laughing boy to the ground, courtesy of a hit over the head.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA4QatYPRDQ4
Tiger: “Keep an eye on your surroundings. Like so.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAMKc7DS0xGL
The pro jumps out of the way of a large fist and attempts an overhead kick. But Kendo twists around to knock him away with the sheer wind pressure of her large hands.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAUcW3Et28gO
Though this leaves her open to Sabrina’s whip, which wraps around her body.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAnugjtklSd3
Kendo: “Shoot!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAOLCXZyDEn1
If it wasn’t for the charging Kirishima, she would have shocked Kendo unconscious.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAYfhdP4mPtP
Sabrina: “Lock.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAgaQq6Abe5O
Kirishima: “Ugh.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA4Pp3lIT3s6
With a small moment won, Sabrina refocuses on Kadabra and-
101Please respect copyright.PENANANwmywEaWcx
A small red meteorite falls from heaven, stopping the fighters in their tracks. Emerging out of the dirt cloud was a nexhausted Kaoru on her knees.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAI6XI1TlajU
Sabrina: “K-Kaoru?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAe0ktVM8ZvP
Kaoru: “I’m fine! He’s just stronger than I remembered.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAYplMOIFtbF
Blasting back into the storm above, Sabrina watches her friend reengage Midoriya. It was then that she truly sensed the boy, and the impression poured cold water over her head.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAtyopcniSXc
Beneath those glowing green eyes, she sensed something else. It was a small tick at I-Island, after fighting villains, she didn’t give it much thought.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAZWwwVqIFbb
But now?
101Please respect copyright.PENANAmcdcb6YQ2s
Sabrina: ‘What… is he?’
101Please respect copyright.PENANAk3vfsd7Y8d
No time to think about it; arms wrapped around her neck from behind, breaking her focus. Kendo breaks free of the psi-whip in time to reengage Tiger alongside Tetsutetsu.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA0Zhzv9eYhF
Kiri: “What now?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAiHFjdF292N
Kirishima was rapidly approaching, but he was being pushed back by constant psychic pressure. However, that wouldn’t hold back for long. His quirk adapts to the force and hardens even further.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAyTw4vxXDxJ
Kiri: “Weak up-close.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAoMX7fH4t0r
The girl tightens her hold.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA6oCk2AWHye
Sabrina: “I… still have a… trick up my sleeve. And maybe… a new one as well.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAd4Io2vUKFC
First, Sabrina grabs the arm of Kiri and uses a psychic ability unique to her. She hasn’t used it since she fought her friend way back.
101Please respect copyright.PENANABYBYtdkRfb
Rapidly, Kiri begins to shrink.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAViNeddNab0
Kiri: “Huh?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAE5zCixsL1h
Before long, she was too small to hold Sabrina. Freed, she was ready to meet Kirishima.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAmVzk4JD4Z0
Dodging his straight punch, she sharpens the lightning coursing through her open palm and swipes at what she sees as a weak point in his defenses.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAApD2YGwhE7
Sabrina: “Lightning Blade.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAxY3CP0zoJ2
Pain explodes throughout Kirishima’s body, but it was far less than Sabrina expected. A second before she attacked, Kirishima focused all of his defenses on that one spot.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAuE5IZ7bx9W
Caught off guard by the sudden resistance, Sabrina wasn’t prepared for-
101Please respect copyright.PENANAHcDHpFhq7x
Kirishima: “Red Counter!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAtXNeiInI5d
An explosive punch shatters Sabrina’s defenses and sinks into her stomach. For the first time in years, the girl was hit, and the results were devastating.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAwVZI9VxpXW
Her pupils spasm as she dry heaves and collapses to her knees. But she wasn’t the only one; Kirishima stumbles back, kneels, and holds the spot Sabrina hit.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAORXFrZX9mv
Kirishima: “Hehe, you’re not that bad fighting up close.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAXhaIoCRFgA
Regathering herself, she glares at the boy with glowing red eyes.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA8KcYDm1CuL
Kirishima: “Oh no.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAtxgSq2QO2W
The next instant, he was flung far away into the forest. The girl forces her beyond-tired body up and prepares herself once more.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAwswWOJDpek
Sabrina: ‘Ugh, I really hate melee combat.’
101Please respect copyright.PENANAKuDa9Rq5gZ
And it hasn’t even been 10 minutes.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAgfBOl7uIRl
101Please respect copyright.PENANANtwlFs6dtd
Kaoru: ‘The heck happened!?’
101Please respect copyright.PENANAjZjwILo1nm
The last time she fought Izuku, he wasn’t much of a challenge. Yeah, she lost that fight, but it was close.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAY06EYRvEH8
This wasn’t.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA3iqE81ne0G
It didn’t seem like he was trying. In fact, he seemed like the teacher in this situation.
101Please respect copyright.PENANARaWUpuSWhn
Her wasted energy and movement. Her lack of precision. The encouragement to push her quirk’s power to the limit and beyond.
101Please respect copyright.PENANATDFX6s1ddB
All of this and more was told to her through telepathy.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAz1U2rsxSJn
Kaoru: ‘It’s not bad advice, but I hate hearing it from him! Aren’t we supposed to be on the same level?’
101Please respect copyright.PENANAyzqgTs9rJM
It would be easier if Kadabra fought better. It did basic movements and attacks, enough to protect her from serious harm, but not enough to turn the tide.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAaBsCzoUKxP
Kaoru: ‘Sabrina must really be struggling.’
101Please respect copyright.PENANAoqYFMmq2bd
Izuku: “Focus, Akashi.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA46a7RhIPW1
Kaoru: “I am!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAUWtUc2Kqez
She blows away the storm of cold wind sent her way and glances at Kadabra, who sends razor-sharp blades of psychic power. But they are easily evaded.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAsDKLzpj8hZ
It was either that or simple telekinesis with that guy.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAdJmYZNK6B4
Izuku: “Kadabra, I know you can do more. You don’t have to wait for Sabrina’s order. You’re a living being as well.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA8nEt1VJhV7
He says nothing, only sends more psycho blades, something Izuku seems to find interesting. If his intense gaze at them when he dodges means anything.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAkQwA7I4Fcc
The boy’s laid-back attitude finally got to the psychic girl.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAicwpeSqZEc
Kaoru: “How did you get so strong?! Last time, you barely beat me.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANADxLmGxYh4U
The boy looks at her and suddenly turns… sad… then frustrated… then accepting.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA8p0sfNMurM
Izuku: “It’s… complicated to explain. It’s not something you can do.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAaKdzid4kCt
Kaoru: “Huh?!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAhfsR6Uxl7i
Izuku: “But… there is another way for you to get stronger. Much stronger. Are you willing to hear me out?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAE7lK72MD02
For some reason, this felt like something that extends past just this training camp. A part of her wants to refuse, but why?
101Please respect copyright.PENANAusiPbrFcvL
Kaoru: ‘I can at least hear him out. Maybe it can help me catch up.’
101Please respect copyright.PENANA7gBxSR8jmk
The truth of the matter, however, was much more than she expected.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAP2gjIfTcSV

Separated from everyone, all by her lonesome in the forest, was Reiko Yanagi.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAxFmrupzOJ0
Her training was simple.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAnz7HqQyiIo
Lifting as many things as possible and trying to lift a fallen tree. All to increase her weight and volume limit. A limit far below the others.
101Please respect copyright.PENANArw7iWxajmt
Reiko: “A human body… ”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAR6wj1UNuwB
Her quirk, Poltergeist, is basically a worse version of Sabrina and Kaoru’s quirks.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAHz4EUV8S7y
Because of that, she faded into the background more than she already did.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAw1hy0SwU5p
Reiko: ‘I like ghosts, but I never thought… ’
101Please respect copyright.PENANAAaKS6yiZcd
She shook her head. It wasn’t like her to get jealous. It doesn’t change anything.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAbp8FTnekPu
All she can do, is keep trying.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAreSPoXFphr
But in the end, nothing changed.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAHolG2ZXCgn
Time was soon called for lunch, and she made no progress. Sighing, she wipes the sweat off her brow and turns her back to her classmates.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAhZnNU4fTVL
101Please respect copyright.PENANAV8VIGJW8ho
Tiger: “Well done. We’ll pick up tomorrow; enjoy the food. If you have the strength to make it.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAXR4t2jy6oq
The pro, as expected, was the only one not out of breath. It was a close call, though, when Sabrina started acting like Kaoru and summoning sandstorms.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAka7nmmrCX1
Speaking off…
101Please respect copyright.PENANA3tTiL3nRny
Sabrina: “I almost forgot there were more days of this.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAotkdLOJFvm
Kendo: “Don’t remind me.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAIaJ1tkhmUT
Sabrina helped Kendo up while Kirishima carried an unconscious Tetsutetsu to the feeding area.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAELU4y1pwGe
Kendo: “Um, aren’t you going to change her back?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAUhtef4tG5Y
Sabrina turns her shoulder to see a small Kiri slumping over.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA7FAHOYduxK
Kiri: “Don’t mind. Can change back later. Carry me.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAu8mWYwwW34
Sabrina: “I guess not.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA0pXD9UbQW0
Kendo: “Lucky.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAOGBO8KV6E7
When everyone arrived in the food area, what awaited them wasn’t already made meals, but ingredients.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAsQf9j4x2Kt
Pixie-Bob: “Yesterday was the last day we’d help you out!!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA207xxnY1Lm
Ragdoll: “If you want to eat, get off your butts and make it yourself!! Curry!!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAeNvkQEApHf
They say while pointing at the ingredients on the two tables.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAVdqqElxNFL
Everyone: “… Yes… Ma’am… ”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAEiHjlJR1ta
Ragdoll: “Hahahahaha, almost all of you look terrible! But that doesn’t give you an excuse to do a sloppy job, though!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAnLsL6eftFs
Ida: “You’re right… in the case of an emergency, feeding the hungry and providing sustenance to mind and body is an essential part of… providing aid… ”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAQjlTTqZFTy
Turning around to everyone, including Class B, Ida chops his hand.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAuSMp4WQZhk
Ida: “They are correct!! Let’s make the world’s best curry!!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANASVacRRXWyj
In response, many did get the energy to agree completely. For the first time, the two classes worked together to prepare the meal.
101Please respect copyright.PENANApkcyHV96uk
Most didn’t have the energy to use their quirks to help cook though. Todoroki did and so provided the fire with a small smile.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAH0sRkQJqcU
Izuku, of course, also had the energy to create a floating line of ingredients. It was honestly a magical sight.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAa7iwaB6z7o
Before long, it was done, and everyone dug in.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAmRwo0D4guP
Kendo: “Not bad.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA2DlSbaAoRj
Aoi: “Anything would be amazing after what I just went through.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA2VQuV2c9ct
Shiho: “I learned secrets I preferred I didn’t. Not to mention the headache.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA682D0Ot2uv
Sabrina: “I don’t think I can eat after what Kirishima did to me. Ugh. Do you want mine, Kaoru?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAijDDWcvZGv
It was then that the friend group noticed the strangely down Kaoru. It was rare for her to simply pick at her food.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAcHGzgmeUf6
Sabrina: “Kaoru?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA8WN9kq83mF
Aoi: “What’s wrong?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAlR88W6K9Gz
Kaoru: “Nothing.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAxXx6s3IkOK
Shiho: “Don’t make me read your mind.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA8NEz2Tp6zH
She says while opening and closing her hand.
101Please respect copyright.PENANATwcjcrdLL7
Kendo: “Please don’t do that, Sannomiya.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAjv9ucjC35I
Sabrina: “Come on, you can tell us.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAo5ZtScWXWj
What finally got Kaoru to look at her friends was the warmth of Sabrina’s hand on hers. Before a blush could make itself known, she turns away.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAXvxjA5cdli
Kaoru: “It’s… something Midoriya said while we fought.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA1FRUJRvoyJ
Sabrina narrowed her eyes at that while Shiho quietly gripped the wire gun in her pocket.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAfW9HzUq2Ya
Aoi: “What did he say?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANApMq4qUFJov
Kendo: “I’m pretty sure it wasn’t anything you’re imagining, right?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAzVf4JbBahA
Kaoru: “Come on, girls, what he said freaked me out a bit but it was nothing perverse. Seriously!?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA2WU1z3Q1X2
Sabrina: “But it did freak you out. What happened?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAr5xusUFTcf
Their worries only increased when Kaoru looked at Kendo with trepidation. Before long though, Kaoru regained her confidence and rubbed her head.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA7ruqMTo1bZ
Kaoru: “Screw it. He said to only ask those involved, but I shouldn’t and probably couldn’t keep it secret from you, class pres.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA4oauVRJvLs
Kendo: “Oh… this sounds serious.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAnnBG9kiROb
It was.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAiRIhXidbZq
Kaoru revealed what she knows of Izuku’s quirk and his offer to some of the girls in Class B.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA1ht7I4KraT
Aoi: “If he didn’t already have two girlfriends, I would suspect this is some sad attempt at a harem.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAu4jOrPqQuN
Shiho: “The fact he asked two boys before us also makes it unlikely.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAEyyxQ3o4NK
Aoi: “He could swing that way; who knows.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANACQCUbZ6KEF
Kendo: “I don’t know what to say… ”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAoGnuxjZ3kd
Neither did Sabrina. All she could do was look at Izuku with her arms on the table and fingers interlocked.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAoeRhIVXn6E
Sabrina: ‘Was that what I was feeling?’
101Please respect copyright.PENANAZqU3bkbzbi
The temptation to infiltrate his mind and get to the bottom of this simmered beneath. But based on what happened to Shinso, it wouldn’t end well.
101Please respect copyright.PENANALK5vxFvqya
Kaoru: “I… kind of want to do it.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAlXD9Kbz3nW
The girls whip their heads around to Kaoru, who’s looking down at her uneaten food.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAAKzMVoJxcX
Aoi: “You can’t be serious.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAvTreEVu8cm
Kaoru: “I am.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAjGkBBxizix
Shiho: “Why?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAy6QMawk2mM
Kaoru: “Because… you know what happened at Hosu.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAJhenGGm8Ev
They nod.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAK2Fs2mvdhq
Kaoru: “I… couldn’t save some people. If I were stronger, then I could have.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAij75FVgcGH
Aoi: “But-”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAOMJlOXHSVX
Kaoru: “I’m not scared of some pain. If it will make us better heroes, then why refuse?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAbhEoEXuHlB
Sabrina: “We don’t know how it will affect you.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA6fUXfN86X1
Kaoru: “I won’t die or lose my quirk if that’s what you’re worried about.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA7CaIhyF28S
Sabrina: “I… don’t want you to get hurt.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAUErLGOL7AE
Kaoru: “Heh, it’s part of being a hero, remember?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAIVyd6SZZju
Sabrina: “I still don’t like it. Something feels… off about all of this.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAZ3Y0GMEcZw
Kendo: “I think… we should see if Tokoyami agrees. I know I’m not really involved, but I’m still the class president and your friend. I don’t want you getting involved in something that could endanger you unnecessarily.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAH0h2rwSGKu
Shiho: “Should we tell the teachers?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAY3P0S4jA5Q
Kaoru: “Not yet. Midoriya hasn’t really done anything bad; he just asked if we would be interested. Speaking of, are you guys… interested?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA5qM1KaZI0s
The three girls thought about the offer. A power increase and evolution of their quirks sounds great. And all they risk is some pain and possible mental scarring.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAiO9xRILppS
Considering their chosen profession, not too bad. It’s the source that makes it questionable.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAwDxIMgdH0F
Midoriya seems like a good guy, but his quirk is anything but normal. What kind of quirk does that? And what if there are secret strings none of them are aware of? Including Midoriya.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAsFhxqqCRCP
Regardless, though, one thing remains the same.
101Please respect copyright.PENANADhB4aYbJRy
Sabrina: “Yes, if you decide to go through it, I will too.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA64qcZeDaT6
Kaoru: “R-Really?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAC8PJWuK835
Aoi: “Yeah, we’re a package deal.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANApt3kRK3WMp
Shiho: “I won’t lie, I’m a bit curious to see how my quirk can evolve. Maybe it could remove the more… unpleasant parts of it.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAKbxlgxeQRO
Kaoru: “Thanks girls. Glad to know I won’t be the only going through this if it happens.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAYIOJArfMDz
The class president smiles at the tight bond these four have. Sometimes, she can’t help but feel like the odd fifth wheel.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAYG0jxejA5o
Kendo: “Well, if you guys do it and there are no problems, I can ask Yanagi and Tokage. I don’t know about Tokage, but I have a feeling Yanagi will say yes.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAyxBnlU6eig
Sabrina: “Right… her.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAM3TNECLee1
They weren’t blind; they knew the poor girl felt inadequate next to Kaoru and Sabrina. Not much they could do about it, though.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA3Us9SoKS2O
Sabrina: ‘Let’s hope this offer is a blessing and not a curse. If the former, we can all benefit.’
101Please respect copyright.PENANA6su6mdWCpH
101Please respect copyright.PENANAPBdzR8MFY6
Far away, hidden among the cliffs overlooking the now sleeping residents of the lodge, a black portal opens. First through was a fully armored Theo.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZDYTnBXce
Behind him emerged an elite squad of villains, four of which were monsters sent by Gyoro Gyoro. An extra guarantee to ensure Izuku dies. The sight of them does unnerve some of the villains, but knowing they are on their side is a bit comforting.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAhWZwd8BUTZ
When they were all assembled, Theo started tapping his feet.
101Please respect copyright.PENANANhFcU8nz0P
Theo: “Where is he?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAJYLLYXUhVA
Before anyone else can complain, another portal opens up, this one made of black mud. Emerging out of it were Azrael and Kota.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAXP3wNlRUg4
Azrael: “Sorry, it took longer than I thought to create distractions for All Might and Tornado. The Blizzard Group has been acting as aides for them both. Anyway, is this everyone?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA7YLnXn3E6y
Theo: “Yeah, Mr. Compress was even kind enough to break the equipment.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAHI1jrueQlq
Said man gives a bow to both leaders of this squad of villains. Everyone seemed pretty fine with the arrangement, but the sight of what seemed to be a child made one speak up.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAc0tBKkE6Dl
Spinner: “Hey, hey!! What’s the meaning of this!? We’re not short on manpower; there is no need to bring some kid along with us!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAyvYUvJddnM
Instantly, Kota’s hand transformed into something monstrous and took hold of Spinner’s neck.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAw2Gwn8c05K
Spinner: “Arrgh!”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAYz64eZvRWJ
Kota: “What did you say? You have a problem, you foul liz-”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAqvQTjm9mGN
Theo: “Enough of that, Kota. We will not insult our allies like that.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAMS16iL14YD
The boy turns and glares at Theo, but with a nod from Azrael, he lets Spinner go.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAxRRNx9NpEh
Compress: “Ooh, scary. First, quirk beasts, and now a modified human nomu as a bodyguard. This League of Villains is more impressive than I thought.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA4bTcugNFcv
Twice: “Yeah, but like, are… they really necessary?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAEmexJgHyjm
Standing a few feet away from them were the monsters, quirk beasts. These were stronger than the norm; one even looked like a maiko. But the fact she stands near the walking catfish and mass of seaweed says everything.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAdiAD6VvOr8
But it was the other female that really sent shivers through Twice’s back.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAv7CoKNPopx
Theo: “Yes, some of the kids below aren’t pushovers and one of our colleagues really wants one of them dead. But I will be the one to finish him, so don’t go too far, got it?”
101Please respect copyright.PENANANfK8klToyb
The maiko laughs softly while the other two only smile. It was the leader of the monsters that spoke up, the tall and seductive mosquito girl.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA5qI8g0uPUN
Mosquito: “Oh, don’t worry. We understand.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAsMppde1fbX
The boy narrows his eyes at the woman before scoffing.
101Please respect copyright.PENANAMl22DhrPcB
Azrael: “That’s good; that means we can begin setting up for tomorrow. Begin.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANA6wJ64C9Z7x
As they begin their preparations in the dark, Azrael and Theo turn to the lodge below.
101Please respect copyright.PENANA7dYRxkHpVh
Theo: “Look at them, sleeping peacefully. They have no idea the things I’ve cooked up.”
101Please respect copyright.PENANAgJ5CDXH8TA
Azrael: “And they won’t, not until it’s too late. Tonight will be the last restful sleep they’ll experience.”101Please respect copyright.PENANAw1cJKhnRUR
