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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANADbTTxrBnsS
Most of them are still asleep, unwilling to wake up early. Something that will come to bite them in the butt very soon.
159Please respect copyright.PENANALv5ckFoTap
Vlad King: “RISE AND SHINE! COME OUTSIDE IN 10 MINUTES OR YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT LUNCH!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAGcgCbcBm15
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANALwkXtFjylT
Kendo: “Still the early bird, huh?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAou9BVJ8UwA
Sabrina: “You as well.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAkUEcC4O2YK
Kendo: “Yeah, but I don’t take as long to get ready as you. I’m just a light sleeper.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANARylR5ijcYE
Sabrina: “I think the only person who has more unruly hair than me is Shiozaki.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAeHd12koQ2f
Kendo: “Haha, that’s true.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAdm1UTulgNv
Putting down the brush and giving herself one more look off, Sabrina turns toward the exit.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAbxNo1rMqk0
Sabrina: “Well, I better leave and check on the boys before this place becomes crowded.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA3fKDfSxFp1
Kendo: “Wasn’t it my turn today?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAP48l4KDkdI
Sabrina: “You’re welcome.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAbzejANqJUp
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAxDhWw8oMDm
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAwBEMTFMRYl
No doubt that will be her training on this trip.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAl63igGQ5A0
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA7M1y2mqlnv
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANADOImrQmmuA
Sabrina: ‘I’m almost jealous.’
159Please respect copyright.PENANARdaD6Tcwix
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAkKrpaQOc3Z
Before long, she made it to the boys’ side.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAl56GTBNs2c
Sabrina: “Are you all done? It’s almost time to go.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAVkj4KbAPYI
After the sound of groans, she caught a stray thought from Kosei Tsuburaba, the one with the air shield quirk.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA7KQLEwuIuI
Kosei: ‘What is she, our mom?’
159Please respect copyright.PENANAFRoUhdXiU9
Sabrina: “I heard that, Tsuburaba.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAKEc5eGzFa6
Kosei: “Seriously!?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAnQuHdOXzt6
The sliding doors open to reveal a ready and dressed group of boys.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAUwl71zIql4
Neito: “It isn’t quite fair to read our minds without our permission. What would Akashi think about you doing that again?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAt8x3yIKsVB
A slight twitch of the eyes. Kaoru, her only real weakness. Sabrina has gotten better, but old habits are hard to break.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAKOQfrFZ2nh
Sabrina: “Fine, sorry, Tsuburaba.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAQeUcKM50JN
Kosei: “It’s okay, I know it was an accident.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA3C9qfntARl
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.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAi1ald60BCN
Tetsutetsu: “I’m awake! I’m awake!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAcx3O7c3E3m
Sabrina tilts her head to see Tetsutetsu rubbing his head before yawning.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAj08HAytvDu
Neito: “We dealt with it. Shall we go?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAlq0tmVjcv0
Sabrina: “Yes.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAWBJku7zcI3
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAzi6ZoXsT3R
Vlad King: “Good to see you all up. Ready to improve your quirks?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAMwrlXOrpyR
The class nodded.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAOvYyBmSgVC
Vlad King: “Good! Class A has already started; let’s get going.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAK6qyppIkHs
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANApLZFDPu6Rx
But nothing could have prepared them for the sight of Class 1-A being practically tortured.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAiatGGlNO1E
Sero was unleashing tape until blood started leaking.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAYwQCsQO1JV
Bakugo was burning his hands in hot water.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAqHX20HRNgd
Todoroki was sitting in a boiling container, trying to stay cool with his ice.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAXD9mZdOcjh
Kirishima was trying to endure several blows from Kiri.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAT7mWFJM1IY
Uraraka was floating around, trying not to hurl.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAVKzoEdFxtf
Finally, Kaminari was lighting up the sky with his quirk.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAWKlipY49sr
Kaoru: “What the heck!?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAea8EKcn0Cu
Shiho: “Brutal, but effective.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA2vTFA58I7J
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.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZF99ipVgk
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANALcrQX5jC7Q
Kaoru: “Really makes the ceiling I’m aiming for look literal.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAen8UoMm9bK
Vlad King: “Normally, we adjust the training based on physical growth-”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAYkoUuH3ddt
Aizawa: “But we don’t have the time. Don’t laze around, Class B.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAHBvvMkkZF9
Turning to the new teacher, Kendo voices a concern they all have.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAKKWEeZJm1a
Kendo: “With us included, we’ve got 30 people. Can six people really handle that many “quirks” at once?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAsY5eIuQr4p
Aizawa: “That’s why they’re here.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAo9M95ic3eb
Pixie-Bob: “That’s right! Four minds, one body!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAWEJTi0TrOj
Mandalay: “With sparkling eyes, we rock on.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAguufp8L6LY
Ragdoll: “We’ve come to lend a helping paw!!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAIvl3l6JlgE
Tiger: “Wherever, whenever, we’ll arrive.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA6gtrIfvyyt
Pixie-Bob: “Cute, cat, and stinger!
159Please respect copyright.PENANAvSCWhUioRz
“The Wild, Wild, Pussycats!!!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANASYqkn1mOAV
The remaining pros on this training camp arrive and do the full version of their signature pose.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAzMcsbwKaR5
Ragdoll: “My quirk [Search] allows me to observe and monitor up to 100 people at a time! Their location and weak points too!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAJwbyl3WmDI
Pixie-Bob: “My [Earth Flow] will create a training ground fit for every last one of you!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAJDQgNPV7WX
Mandalay: “And with my [Telepath], I can advise and instruct multiple people at once.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAcT3fCfJ7y6
Kaoru: “Wait, you have a psychic-type quirk!?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7WV5W25cE
Mandalay: “Well, close. I can only send information, not receive like Kanto or Midoriya… ”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAaRDi3xqlEV
Mandalay: ‘If I could, then maybe… ’
159Please respect copyright.PENANAYhPkKI0zbY
To divert attention back to the training, Tiger explained his part in this.
159Please respect copyright.PENANADrX3FhvjcL
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.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAlvc8SOBt4F
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANALxv1CBCgCK
But the blow was strong enough to send her skidding back a few feet.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAf9vjqGCDDN
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA7m99PaGcjX
Before Kaoru could do something foolish, Sabrina held her hand up.
159Please respect copyright.PENANATKNn8fS47v
Sabrina: “I’m fine.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAWkqO9qfHOW
Tiger: “Your power is great, but you lack many options when dealing with physical opponents. As proven by the school festival.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAEblxPrJ05n
Sabrina: “Unneeded. You may be a pro, but I could hold you off or even win if need be.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAtGt7eCscjr
Tiger: “Perhaps, but can you say the same if there were more than one?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANACQMslQq6P2
From above!
159Please respect copyright.PENANAeM2k4mBoY9
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAtTjJZ6m2qN
Sabrina: “I see.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAV7lz2XvS2D
Kaoru: “That’s not fair!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAzkDtsDwRa0
Aizawa: “Hero work isn’t fair. Any weak point will be exploited.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA7HNOCoqmxs
Sabrina: “It’s fine; after all, this isn’t the tournament. Kadabra.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA8jxu11TRNv
Her mental creation shimmers into existence beside her, ready to battle.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAy4B3yjI4ug
But before battle could explode, Kadabra was enveloped in a green shell. The prince descends from above.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAJiyK88ldUK
Sabrina: “Seriously?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAzCnKzQBSRN
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.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAY477Dbmx1A
Izuku: “And the best way to challenge me is to train with Kadabra. He did take Kiri’s ultimate move without much damage.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA8iVhKkK252
Sabrina: “And since I take half the damage Kadabra does and still need to direct him… yes, I suppose this is good training.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA9WMnyZ4qay
Aoi: “Pretty extreme though.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAklRTA6CNkK
Vlad King: “Think that’s bad? You’re going to have to teleport around the forest wearing this.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA7ODv75JacY
Aoi: “Wha-”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAASBb5vrYMj
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAso2JV4bM8p
Aoi: “Darn it.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANABxmkpmp2Qj
Shiho: “Doing good down there?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAxtn71IoLun
Aoi: “Ugh.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAsJyHFHhlyX
Kaoru: “So what about me and Shiho?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAJzpNfY3z3m
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.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAOylNtfu41X
Shiho: “… Alright.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAMMwQu53u1S
Kaoru: “Fine with me.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAerKZLuBhra
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAZKRvKWuHx2
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAnKq7ucR0Lp
Sabrina: ‘So I’m surrounded by one pro hero and four students.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAYWtbqWckQI
Kendo: “No hard feelings?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAF9d0ORhSyE
Sabrina: “Of course.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAXVQIRVPhCQ
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.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA1Ze2RDXfLH
Kendo: “So everyone for themselves? Got it.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAgsQlkFoMoy
Kiri: “Nh.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAGftubMbxBZ
Kirishima: “Heh, let’s do this.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAHhIMvDgCFr
Sabrina takes one last look up at the forming storm clouds where Kadabra and Kaoru join up with Izuku.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAbq0yfwUkSA
Sabrina: ‘Great, I have to stretch my senses as well. Kaoru was right; this is unfair.’
159Please respect copyright.PENANAKkECd5onFk
Tiger: “Ready?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAj1JeElqmIl
The group tenses within the dirt ring created by Pixie-Bob.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAXSoIeUaszl
Tiger: “Begin!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANARSxUW51zFC
Sabrina: “Lock!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAn3TyrgtZM8
With that moment of peace, Sabrina mentally commands her summon.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAQERBVno21E
Sabrina: “Protect Kaoru!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAInyVH1vBHj
The command was given just in time for Sabrina to shield herself from Kiri’s kick.
159Please respect copyright.PENANALD0ruU8nYR
The locks were broken, and so battle was joined.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAGTAoWsejaU
Tetsutetsu: “Kirishima!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAZAeEjNq3Jo
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAF2DSJLDkqg
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAOyhHx9qwNp
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAOlQPpiTqh2
Sabrina’s mind went into overdrive as her body was beginning to feel the effects of Kadabra’s beating above.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAqrZFx13KoX
Sabrina: “Tch.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAOSXODn39yo
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANATqTIU2bxlI
This left Sabrina with Kiri, the most annoying opponent.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA0CuUdcLPhZ
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAuOwOLTFKQd
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAQibei4sExw
But she would be back after fighting off the shock. This couldn’t con-
159Please respect copyright.PENANAJGaGg5tBal
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZlIu6R1Dk
Kiri: “Rocky… ”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAyxmWT7zXzM
Kirishima: “Sorry, Kiri, Tetsu has gotten better.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA0vmExOJfqb
Tetsutetsu: “Hahaha! How do you like-”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAZBzoI3m0An
Tiger buries the laughing boy to the ground, courtesy of a hit over the head.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAt6EphKWgVC
Tiger: “Keep an eye on your surroundings. Like so.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAPrlmNXeApI
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAsxfCo77Kji
Though this leaves her open to Sabrina’s whip, which wraps around her body.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAZlBPH34F53
Kendo: “Shoot!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAKgZqkhtDz6
If it wasn’t for the charging Kirishima, she would have shocked Kendo unconscious.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAvhEZvzfFrP
Sabrina: “Lock.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAdgoxAfWINa
Kirishima: “Ugh.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAOuxy43Q2m5
With a small moment won, Sabrina refocuses on Kadabra and-
159Please respect copyright.PENANAHMObold4sE
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAAI6TS4K1fW
Sabrina: “K-Kaoru?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAaS5fxTbPaO
Kaoru: “I’m fine! He’s just stronger than I remembered.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAp9U34tR84A
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANABc8Br7aR8b
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAmDRe3mNjJw
But now?
159Please respect copyright.PENANAtLPV8Gjvw9
Sabrina: ‘What… is he?’
159Please respect copyright.PENANAcAZLEdDrfv
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA8MXMNF6XeI
Kiri: “What now?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAzwn4yXElqy
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAXj6gAsqXlM
Kiri: “Weak up-close.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANASUWhPowakq
The girl tightens her hold.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAV0d9QVzpIA
Sabrina: “I… still have a… trick up my sleeve. And maybe… a new one as well.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAwe3VyUzxgo
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAYWiaxIv9kd
Rapidly, Kiri begins to shrink.
159Please respect copyright.PENANATt7W1miOpV
Kiri: “Huh?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANATXh13RP1B0
Before long, she was too small to hold Sabrina. Freed, she was ready to meet Kirishima.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA8z3GENLILq
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA71AWbzDEEK
Sabrina: “Lightning Blade.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAxRanPPvYKI
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAvCqVs5ampQ
Caught off guard by the sudden resistance, Sabrina wasn’t prepared for-
159Please respect copyright.PENANAVF1hpfVQOA
Kirishima: “Red Counter!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAWDN82vn2Nt
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA9Gzlc0fGVc
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAW6ycTsaD2I
Kirishima: “Hehe, you’re not that bad fighting up close.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAeXXfu2oZTi
Regathering herself, she glares at the boy with glowing red eyes.
159Please respect copyright.PENANATC0LUoz5VC
Kirishima: “Oh no.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAd2rrYNFHTS
The next instant, he was flung far away into the forest. The girl forces her beyond-tired body up and prepares herself once more.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA3K4npNcwLN
Sabrina: ‘Ugh, I really hate melee combat.’
159Please respect copyright.PENANAOlz6L2mTrX
And it hasn’t even been 10 minutes.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAPgZMS01Wtd
159Please respect copyright.PENANAq6jAzuUNTo
Kaoru: ‘The heck happened!?’
159Please respect copyright.PENANARSo4D9GGe3
The last time she fought Izuku, he wasn’t much of a challenge. Yeah, she lost that fight, but it was close.
159Please respect copyright.PENANANijjO9whEC
This wasn’t.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAZ46fcQCVEQ
It didn’t seem like he was trying. In fact, he seemed like the teacher in this situation.
159Please respect copyright.PENANALjk07aFl58
Her wasted energy and movement. Her lack of precision. The encouragement to push her quirk’s power to the limit and beyond.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAwxbheRADhx
All of this and more was told to her through telepathy.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAokaBuPM8nv
Kaoru: ‘It’s not bad advice, but I hate hearing it from him! Aren’t we supposed to be on the same level?’
159Please respect copyright.PENANA8k4AjYf0gg
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA28K0FVarGL
Kaoru: ‘Sabrina must really be struggling.’
159Please respect copyright.PENANAyWBau1Gx3S
Izuku: “Focus, Akashi.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAcZ1g5VJbSr
Kaoru: “I am!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAI8ixxkqqA4
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA2wBiGJkiSK
It was either that or simple telekinesis with that guy.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA7ziPySlOph
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.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANATg8yvBRtOT
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAGS5fpHQFkC
The boy’s laid-back attitude finally got to the psychic girl.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAlEe58jpNZy
Kaoru: “How did you get so strong?! Last time, you barely beat me.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANADkdWMDTaZY
The boy looks at her and suddenly turns… sad… then frustrated… then accepting.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA4q4g4mOrTx
Izuku: “It’s… complicated to explain. It’s not something you can do.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAvyIGShFPJ5
Kaoru: “Huh?!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANABgquUee8YW
Izuku: “But… there is another way for you to get stronger. Much stronger. Are you willing to hear me out?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAOrAAWLcaDa
For some reason, this felt like something that extends past just this training camp. A part of her wants to refuse, but why?
159Please respect copyright.PENANAK54gXvWipC
Kaoru: ‘I can at least hear him out. Maybe it can help me catch up.’
159Please respect copyright.PENANAfcGlp1Ix1p
The truth of the matter, however, was much more than she expected.
159Please respect copyright.PENANATyQCHS6zOj
159Please respect copyright.PENANAgh9VMC9DR5
Separated from everyone, all by her lonesome in the forest, was Reiko Yanagi.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAmkJCzxl7A4
Her training was simple.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAIjv2ElcVsC
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAbBANT6WUxj
Reiko: “A human body… ”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA0Fa4QUFN9c
Her quirk, Poltergeist, is basically a worse version of Sabrina and Kaoru’s quirks.
159Please respect copyright.PENANASAo0eANfLt
Because of that, she faded into the background more than she already did.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAWoGn0bA3yA
Reiko: ‘I like ghosts, but I never thought… ’
159Please respect copyright.PENANAVvMYmGi2P2
She shook her head. It wasn’t like her to get jealous. It doesn’t change anything.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAwj7mJVryEC
All she can do, is keep trying.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA35jU2ZwmD6
But in the end, nothing changed.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAtj5dIPyCq0
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA4OEmiA6Okx
159Please respect copyright.PENANAP9w0NvlKqm
Tiger: “Well done. We’ll pick up tomorrow; enjoy the food. If you have the strength to make it.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAHGQrEiDc8L
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAn1ZQa9Go7k
Speaking off…
159Please respect copyright.PENANAh2ljaVObXr
Sabrina: “I almost forgot there were more days of this.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAa5iXZzjAOH
Kendo: “Don’t remind me.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANArJaOuIxq9X
Sabrina helped Kendo up while Kirishima carried an unconscious Tetsutetsu to the feeding area.
159Please respect copyright.PENANARoMsA38HEv
Kendo: “Um, aren’t you going to change her back?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANARZHOWCq5gw
Sabrina turns her shoulder to see a small Kiri slumping over.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA64ql3cus7x
Kiri: “Don’t mind. Can change back later. Carry me.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAjr6EySacm7
Sabrina: “I guess not.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAHPdIGJfAGB
Kendo: “Lucky.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAI7tGjKwdfY
When everyone arrived in the food area, what awaited them wasn’t already made meals, but ingredients.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAXfh48avS0T
Pixie-Bob: “Yesterday was the last day we’d help you out!!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAtvD2mf1kw0
Ragdoll: “If you want to eat, get off your butts and make it yourself!! Curry!!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAXm5rTWpMeA
They say while pointing at the ingredients on the two tables.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAm4UwL8mLVh
Everyone: “… Yes… Ma’am… ”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA5TKWryGRcC
Ragdoll: “Hahahahaha, almost all of you look terrible! But that doesn’t give you an excuse to do a sloppy job, though!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANASiwPZBPC1R
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… ”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAizky1nIku4
Turning around to everyone, including Class B, Ida chops his hand.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA6AtO3vyF9W
Ida: “They are correct!! Let’s make the world’s best curry!!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAyDFqSnl9TI
In response, many did get the energy to agree completely. For the first time, the two classes worked together to prepare the meal.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAlarDd78w2T
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAHIfUYUMyFz
Izuku, of course, also had the energy to create a floating line of ingredients. It was honestly a magical sight.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAUWbjTf80F6
Before long, it was done, and everyone dug in.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAYkiVH88KtA
Kendo: “Not bad.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA86j5YKs61e
Aoi: “Anything would be amazing after what I just went through.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANALYgVxhmNws
Shiho: “I learned secrets I preferred I didn’t. Not to mention the headache.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAKzWov1bm9G
Sabrina: “I don’t think I can eat after what Kirishima did to me. Ugh. Do you want mine, Kaoru?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAy9xrpe0jOT
It was then that the friend group noticed the strangely down Kaoru. It was rare for her to simply pick at her food.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA0IUxBz5xWS
Sabrina: “Kaoru?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANACwUEXh5IxI
Aoi: “What’s wrong?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAy6BElnlKlE
Kaoru: “Nothing.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAiiI1RDhgdI
Shiho: “Don’t make me read your mind.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAOdkmvsJ0Ua
She says while opening and closing her hand.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAn9tc4hHYC1
Kendo: “Please don’t do that, Sannomiya.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAJhYaVl2ZAc
Sabrina: “Come on, you can tell us.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAt2UhRJgMue
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAc01Za9tQlq
Kaoru: “It’s… something Midoriya said while we fought.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAQaxItITpN0
Sabrina narrowed her eyes at that while Shiho quietly gripped the wire gun in her pocket.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAZRnzXIj9pk
Aoi: “What did he say?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAvEGl9UPExw
Kendo: “I’m pretty sure it wasn’t anything you’re imagining, right?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAiBVQwvv4Lr
Kaoru: “Come on, girls, what he said freaked me out a bit but it was nothing perverse. Seriously!?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAatVoPVN4Pe
Sabrina: “But it did freak you out. What happened?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANALe9crlJWUj
Their worries only increased when Kaoru looked at Kendo with trepidation. Before long though, Kaoru regained her confidence and rubbed her head.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA2WdJJnece4
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.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAg8sATyzNif
Kendo: “Oh… this sounds serious.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAvk7eB5Gbcv
It was.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAJ93PuCFqjP
Kaoru revealed what she knows of Izuku’s quirk and his offer to some of the girls in Class B.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA9r1aa7fjFb
Aoi: “If he didn’t already have two girlfriends, I would suspect this is some sad attempt at a harem.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAI0TwWRvyq8
Shiho: “The fact he asked two boys before us also makes it unlikely.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAKYZRDKouv8
Aoi: “He could swing that way; who knows.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANArpv8KWnnkX
Kendo: “I don’t know what to say… ”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAQA4TGjoeKV
Neither did Sabrina. All she could do was look at Izuku with her arms on the table and fingers interlocked.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAUq0koPIKw8
Sabrina: ‘Was that what I was feeling?’
159Please respect copyright.PENANA97c0rYiOwp
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAN8uN08wLL8
Kaoru: “I… kind of want to do it.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAkXOL75sLme
The girls whip their heads around to Kaoru, who’s looking down at her uneaten food.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA69TwXhfb1A
Aoi: “You can’t be serious.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAaalqJInXiQ
Kaoru: “I am.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAotf4vdmVav
Shiho: “Why?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAsKNGYbOsq2
Kaoru: “Because… you know what happened at Hosu.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAZOsGI5HF27
They nod.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAu9yCOiaJtV
Kaoru: “I… couldn’t save some people. If I were stronger, then I could have.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAwJ9eGKZ0gp
Aoi: “But-”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAgDZ7D9txBi
Kaoru: “I’m not scared of some pain. If it will make us better heroes, then why refuse?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAiHsGzXMHTY
Sabrina: “We don’t know how it will affect you.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAZxs9dhL6i0
Kaoru: “I won’t die or lose my quirk if that’s what you’re worried about.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAu6NQCOMhdz
Sabrina: “I… don’t want you to get hurt.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAFaw44TdwRY
Kaoru: “Heh, it’s part of being a hero, remember?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANADouxFNdhJk
Sabrina: “I still don’t like it. Something feels… off about all of this.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAOjiGVpVAqV
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.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA21rDJpvJpU
Shiho: “Should we tell the teachers?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAveClxOjuLf
Kaoru: “Not yet. Midoriya hasn’t really done anything bad; he just asked if we would be interested. Speaking of, are you guys… interested?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAyeNOFbsx9A
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA8cF9VPyK8Y
Considering their chosen profession, not too bad. It’s the source that makes it questionable.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAXUXbHhrMKG
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA5WVXgt84Gz
Regardless, though, one thing remains the same.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAvynfwLCpQS
Sabrina: “Yes, if you decide to go through it, I will too.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAzJl35vDXXX
Kaoru: “R-Really?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAO2tVueq7nc
Aoi: “Yeah, we’re a package deal.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAR0eh6EDtZA
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.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAX5hT6y2l2Z
Kaoru: “Thanks girls. Glad to know I won’t be the only going through this if it happens.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAz7IJI6CEp8
The class president smiles at the tight bond these four have. Sometimes, she can’t help but feel like the odd fifth wheel.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAK0kjB1YGyH
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.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAL3UeDCNOic
Sabrina: “Right… her.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA0BbzP1jsF7
They weren’t blind; they knew the poor girl felt inadequate next to Kaoru and Sabrina. Not much they could do about it, though.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA69yxeOMY74
Sabrina: ‘Let’s hope this offer is a blessing and not a curse. If the former, we can all benefit.’
159Please respect copyright.PENANA7qgMKnPUPm
159Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1yPTWw6d1
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAxRtoHvHM5u
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAzPmF4Ok21j
When they were all assembled, Theo started tapping his feet.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAa6taYdkGXd
Theo: “Where is he?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA7qWfBqQk5h
Before anyone else can complain, another portal opens up, this one made of black mud. Emerging out of it were Azrael and Kota.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAoZUrtG10GJ
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?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAcNbunPA8Ly
Theo: “Yeah, Mr. Compress was even kind enough to break the equipment.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA45w9dYrpX2
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA5T0wrJcvBl
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!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA63v3CfjBYU
Instantly, Kota’s hand transformed into something monstrous and took hold of Spinner’s neck.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAcVDr4WqblO
Spinner: “Arrgh!”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA7z10HqE0nn
Kota: “What did you say? You have a problem, you foul liz-”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA9nTINBRv7F
Theo: “Enough of that, Kota. We will not insult our allies like that.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAcbvufxsMrH
The boy turns and glares at Theo, but with a nod from Azrael, he lets Spinner go.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAB8dwzbNMHm
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.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAO99ogTfe1k
Twice: “Yeah, but like, are… they really necessary?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAjwDA89lm0Y
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAkeuZ31bBUl
But it was the other female that really sent shivers through Twice’s back.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAGETmVPbX1a
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?”
159Please respect copyright.PENANAjyCGUpkJaw
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.
159Please respect copyright.PENANA2ThXcTzNDR
Mosquito: “Oh, don’t worry. We understand.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA2xV90g8Nzn
The boy narrows his eyes at the woman before scoffing.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAd7HUZG4zyh
Azrael: “That’s good; that means we can begin setting up for tomorrow. Begin.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA0pGaqxgtIU
As they begin their preparations in the dark, Azrael and Theo turn to the lodge below.
159Please respect copyright.PENANAdo6NEiAH65
Theo: “Look at them, sleeping peacefully. They have no idea the things I’ve cooked up.”
159Please respect copyright.PENANA5yKI4dYLov
Azrael: “And they won’t, not until it’s too late. Tonight will be the last restful sleep they’ll experience.”159Please respect copyright.PENANAXKsESknEs8
