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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAnJQtSKYd5d
Most of them are still asleep, unwilling to wake up early. Something that will come to bite them in the butt very soon.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAVpgp0fNjfv
Vlad King: “RISE AND SHINE! COME OUTSIDE IN 10 MINUTES OR YOU CAN FORGET ABOUT LUNCH!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA2vDzFB1Nk9
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAfWJhtzPASP
Kendo: “Still the early bird, huh?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA8GSpuufV92
Sabrina: “You as well.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAnvm2Nd2rkG
Kendo: “Yeah, but I don’t take as long to get ready as you. I’m just a light sleeper.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAROzHiZOoTp
Sabrina: “I think the only person who has more unruly hair than me is Shiozaki.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAUpByzaTG6V
Kendo: “Haha, that’s true.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAn4bZTlWyRj
Putting down the brush and giving herself one more look off, Sabrina turns toward the exit.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAitDlGi8x4I
Sabrina: “Well, I better leave and check on the boys before this place becomes crowded.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAOBVylsMDKr
Kendo: “Wasn’t it my turn today?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA5WaBtOHJQ4
Sabrina: “You’re welcome.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANADURKAWPWMc
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAEyjW9vTBI9
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA5Z4XLgLqLb
No doubt that will be her training on this trip.
98Please respect copyright.PENANATRDOrSSX7x
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAvusP0A6I56
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANACZCC83EOAx
Sabrina: ‘I’m almost jealous.’
98Please respect copyright.PENANA43THdlSSgL
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAKgUblOkuTZ
Before long, she made it to the boys’ side.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAJxVKQAGx8m
Sabrina: “Are you all done? It’s almost time to go.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAOVNDBHPWlw
After the sound of groans, she caught a stray thought from Kosei Tsuburaba, the one with the air shield quirk.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA1HvNy4LGaW
Kosei: ‘What is she, our mom?’
98Please respect copyright.PENANAR4aT6XEvTR
Sabrina: “I heard that, Tsuburaba.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAGYtq3gB45Z
Kosei: “Seriously!?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAL2nExwszBj
The sliding doors open to reveal a ready and dressed group of boys.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAoWDEcpAPDU
Neito: “It isn’t quite fair to read our minds without our permission. What would Akashi think about you doing that again?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA60B6eG8pL9
A slight twitch of the eyes. Kaoru, her only real weakness. Sabrina has gotten better, but old habits are hard to break.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA2JBaN92ps9
Sabrina: “Fine, sorry, Tsuburaba.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAIsrdOser1N
Kosei: “It’s okay, I know it was an accident.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAFEopkIOojM
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.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAKOZoPo0RV1
Tetsutetsu: “I’m awake! I’m awake!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA8VCkQ6MLEF
Sabrina tilts her head to see Tetsutetsu rubbing his head before yawning.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAYVPBTf7VXA
Neito: “We dealt with it. Shall we go?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAU3oxtgTviM
Sabrina: “Yes.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAli4DqvW29o
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAG7Cftw2PUB
Vlad King: “Good to see you all up. Ready to improve your quirks?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANApANVKXZT52
The class nodded.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA86pbxm26VG
Vlad King: “Good! Class A has already started; let’s get going.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAuMH3ZMoZCe
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA0OtYg4L8in
But nothing could have prepared them for the sight of Class 1-A being practically tortured.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAVScGi5axkT
Sero was unleashing tape until blood started leaking.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAvEHFS2VIhl
Bakugo was burning his hands in hot water.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAcTDBLyiPv5
Todoroki was sitting in a boiling container, trying to stay cool with his ice.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAHGcGOrzXmk
Kirishima was trying to endure several blows from Kiri.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAvOUQKDbI9w
Uraraka was floating around, trying not to hurl.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAUtmNyDJwbF
Finally, Kaminari was lighting up the sky with his quirk.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAJQwJAz641H
Kaoru: “What the heck!?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANARRhZg1x7Ku
Shiho: “Brutal, but effective.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANApGvokgxF8N
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.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAIXOPADycFd
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAP25LxOyDXY
Kaoru: “Really makes the ceiling I’m aiming for look literal.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAqsBg4aQEpX
Vlad King: “Normally, we adjust the training based on physical growth-”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA5dfhHZjwZ2
Aizawa: “But we don’t have the time. Don’t laze around, Class B.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAShtJzUFsP2
Turning to the new teacher, Kendo voices a concern they all have.
98Please respect copyright.PENANASRmuKCYP2c
Kendo: “With us included, we’ve got 30 people. Can six people really handle that many “quirks” at once?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAni8VZc12Xp
Aizawa: “That’s why they’re here.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA1CPjdl3Y74
Pixie-Bob: “That’s right! Four minds, one body!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAwybZz9PdWm
Mandalay: “With sparkling eyes, we rock on.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA6WsKXtisNT
Ragdoll: “We’ve come to lend a helping paw!!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAlaYAhLRR7L
Tiger: “Wherever, whenever, we’ll arrive.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAMhv62xi4cw
Pixie-Bob: “Cute, cat, and stinger!
98Please respect copyright.PENANAVE5ko4iEKG
“The Wild, Wild, Pussycats!!!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANALC4KOd4XEx
The remaining pros on this training camp arrive and do the full version of their signature pose.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAhZ8oL29lni
Ragdoll: “My quirk [Search] allows me to observe and monitor up to 100 people at a time! Their location and weak points too!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAKdmKdQBdlJ
Pixie-Bob: “My [Earth Flow] will create a training ground fit for every last one of you!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA0o11nKHGCf
Mandalay: “And with my [Telepath], I can advise and instruct multiple people at once.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANALuzf7mqU65
Kaoru: “Wait, you have a psychic-type quirk!?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAyX3wjSFA3V
Mandalay: “Well, close. I can only send information, not receive like Kanto or Midoriya… ”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAWx1Imlg4S5
Mandalay: ‘If I could, then maybe… ’
98Please respect copyright.PENANAS7K3g36uU3
To divert attention back to the training, Tiger explained his part in this.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAAluBBdsu4e
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.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANADq8eIKGxvT
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANACauFE9Nr28
But the blow was strong enough to send her skidding back a few feet.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAsAgGMIxwB5
Kaoru: “Sabrina!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANApa6HDQdbOs
Before Kaoru could do something foolish, Sabrina held her hand up.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA9RNaFy4zzo
Sabrina: “I’m fine.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAzemcbrRltq
Tiger: “Your power is great, but you lack many options when dealing with physical opponents. As proven by the school festival.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAMyvNFfBk3Y
Sabrina: “Unneeded. You may be a pro, but I could hold you off or even win if need be.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANADKv54QbRE3
Tiger: “Perhaps, but can you say the same if there were more than one?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAF3P0n5r5IS
From above!
98Please respect copyright.PENANAXLRn9zUP1v
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANARh6xfFq03t
Sabrina: “I see.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAbKcxPumnwx
Kaoru: “That’s not fair!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANANlFEyvufzV
Aizawa: “Hero work isn’t fair. Any weak point will be exploited.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAvmsamriNi4
Sabrina: “It’s fine; after all, this isn’t the tournament. Kadabra.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAmoDBoY4XkK
Her mental creation shimmers into existence beside her, ready to battle.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAtuydWnTGed
But before battle could explode, Kadabra was enveloped in a green shell. The prince descends from above.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAOrKlZABP0o
Sabrina: “Seriously?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAk7TKZOHD1k
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.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAbQE3kQzlBm
Izuku: “And the best way to challenge me is to train with Kadabra. He did take Kiri’s ultimate move without much damage.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAXnmbT0TuAL
Sabrina: “And since I take half the damage Kadabra does and still need to direct him… yes, I suppose this is good training.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAbiLTCTUxkX
Aoi: “Pretty extreme though.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAuH9b4IWr89
Vlad King: “Think that’s bad? You’re going to have to teleport around the forest wearing this.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAn5TbiC34J8
Aoi: “Wha-”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAYBgGfdDPbx
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAqttnsYuYCh
Aoi: “Darn it.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAr6ImbR5Tqc
Shiho: “Doing good down there?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAYNUswXZWFR
Aoi: “Ugh.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAtdTGw1psDP
Kaoru: “So what about me and Shiho?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ6E8uM48J
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.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAdrVhdb9Ahp
Shiho: “… Alright.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAbWe99u6Ytu
Kaoru: “Fine with me.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAX0fwzqRXji
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAnzhdjEPqJB
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA63pDW6a8sM
Sabrina: ‘So I’m surrounded by one pro hero and four students.
98Please respect copyright.PENANArjEzvQSFkt
Kendo: “No hard feelings?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAqWV3k64ZFj
Sabrina: “Of course.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAOV5JfQO5i4
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.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAWwKfIp788n
Kendo: “So everyone for themselves? Got it.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA1THkzZ5ZRX
Kiri: “Nh.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAQWkKtHWXwq
Kirishima: “Heh, let’s do this.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAU5fMdIHCa5
Sabrina takes one last look up at the forming storm clouds where Kadabra and Kaoru join up with Izuku.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAEQ3asB7S87
Sabrina: ‘Great, I have to stretch my senses as well. Kaoru was right; this is unfair.’
98Please respect copyright.PENANAsl6G0VxXPG
Tiger: “Ready?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA6EG2hWUqzk
The group tenses within the dirt ring created by Pixie-Bob.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA0ztRwfYYQy
Tiger: “Begin!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAoFmH3YQtom
Sabrina: “Lock!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAnoXk0QacOK
With that moment of peace, Sabrina mentally commands her summon.
98Please respect copyright.PENANArZ00Z05Epw
Sabrina: “Protect Kaoru!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAvUPjAkMhTt
The command was given just in time for Sabrina to shield herself from Kiri’s kick.
98Please respect copyright.PENANArJCeZGoK6Z
The locks were broken, and so battle was joined.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA9GSEsqaaxe
Tetsutetsu: “Kirishima!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANABJv2IGKohl
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAvPy08xJq0l
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAZlVUIrdj6x
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAFXrFKbchhy
Sabrina’s mind went into overdrive as her body was beginning to feel the effects of Kadabra’s beating above.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA8aIQEZEMUG
Sabrina: “Tch.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAKJlxVXm91J
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAnUzeQYL0jV
This left Sabrina with Kiri, the most annoying opponent.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA4c3MqJddGI
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAEK0wjhOTEa
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA41CyVOEFM1
But she would be back after fighting off the shock. This couldn’t con-
98Please respect copyright.PENANATEKtumuI0O
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAHMHQc00e1I
Kiri: “Rocky… ”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAiDy7zFCo3W
Kirishima: “Sorry, Kiri, Tetsu has gotten better.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAq3avJefoId
Tetsutetsu: “Hahaha! How do you like-”
98Please respect copyright.PENANALJP8j4YmQl
Tiger buries the laughing boy to the ground, courtesy of a hit over the head.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAayWPMFaIxr
Tiger: “Keep an eye on your surroundings. Like so.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAFAzuWUqUAy
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANADLjpzhQDaI
Though this leaves her open to Sabrina’s whip, which wraps around her body.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAOKVxfC4bYN
Kendo: “Shoot!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAWBlToQd8OE
If it wasn’t for the charging Kirishima, she would have shocked Kendo unconscious.
98Please respect copyright.PENANACCAgjBMT3t
Sabrina: “Lock.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAFLoBBsEkKb
Kirishima: “Ugh.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANABfROqOyJf9
With a small moment won, Sabrina refocuses on Kadabra and-
98Please respect copyright.PENANABF2OfrwszA
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAlFcfBSl0bS
Sabrina: “K-Kaoru?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAOGzNrr3sne
Kaoru: “I’m fine! He’s just stronger than I remembered.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAVbi86qJUCd
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANANBXa3EbZSz
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAAEC5ZirEvk
But now?
98Please respect copyright.PENANAZsvN7CpRqE
Sabrina: ‘What… is he?’
98Please respect copyright.PENANA2hhKYDgGGs
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAOapPuUsBao
Kiri: “What now?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAoAnk9bVqRJ
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAxBHbv6Qd2D
Kiri: “Weak up-close.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAXuNnhjEheO
The girl tightens her hold.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAHLIgGkMrzB
Sabrina: “I… still have a… trick up my sleeve. And maybe… a new one as well.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAT1QCI5nbYL
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAEvRzFMMJat
Rapidly, Kiri begins to shrink.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAeIIRliL5Tu
Kiri: “Huh?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAYQgCS6CcEa
Before long, she was too small to hold Sabrina. Freed, she was ready to meet Kirishima.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAzweHelkXMo
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANARmGV8MTWuf
Sabrina: “Lightning Blade.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAGZ4qv1gPx0
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAraw08DaEwZ
Caught off guard by the sudden resistance, Sabrina wasn’t prepared for-
98Please respect copyright.PENANAMMSgj1BmeH
Kirishima: “Red Counter!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAUADuunY9Iv
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAZwcOg0nVer
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAcNQfdTHiT4
Kirishima: “Hehe, you’re not that bad fighting up close.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAEGkNuWy4rx
Regathering herself, she glares at the boy with glowing red eyes.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAoGRQybaFIj
Kirishima: “Oh no.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAQwjbVQ0NnB
The next instant, he was flung far away into the forest. The girl forces her beyond-tired body up and prepares herself once more.
98Please respect copyright.PENANApSVHTkpJ2c
Sabrina: ‘Ugh, I really hate melee combat.’
98Please respect copyright.PENANAnPwfyWQ24B
And it hasn’t even been 10 minutes.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAjDYB1Ca2wA
98Please respect copyright.PENANAxF4fOFXerG
Kaoru: ‘The heck happened!?’
98Please respect copyright.PENANAIi2yixLzfe
The last time she fought Izuku, he wasn’t much of a challenge. Yeah, she lost that fight, but it was close.
98Please respect copyright.PENANATIsJhdNbid
This wasn’t.
98Please respect copyright.PENANALDzAKSE1F5
It didn’t seem like he was trying. In fact, he seemed like the teacher in this situation.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAll5hDk9dR8
Her wasted energy and movement. Her lack of precision. The encouragement to push her quirk’s power to the limit and beyond.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA5OsYjcMR5M
All of this and more was told to her through telepathy.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAGJ1SwaH8v7
Kaoru: ‘It’s not bad advice, but I hate hearing it from him! Aren’t we supposed to be on the same level?’
98Please respect copyright.PENANApNxiAAZkZ7
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAOKXhr1cphA
Kaoru: ‘Sabrina must really be struggling.’
98Please respect copyright.PENANACG8ALcIqSB
Izuku: “Focus, Akashi.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAGtj3D8wTnj
Kaoru: “I am!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAt7RFkip4Cd
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAo5JxVf4UFQ
It was either that or simple telekinesis with that guy.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAB8gMse18qo
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.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAEBCMrAOamD
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAXvo2j8XEtY
The boy’s laid-back attitude finally got to the psychic girl.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAALobFSz3z4
Kaoru: “How did you get so strong?! Last time, you barely beat me.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA5rK3Uo2vmA
The boy looks at her and suddenly turns… sad… then frustrated… then accepting.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAoq6BOb9kbD
Izuku: “It’s… complicated to explain. It’s not something you can do.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAeSZy5nl7ND
Kaoru: “Huh?!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA5FKSnXDOvs
Izuku: “But… there is another way for you to get stronger. Much stronger. Are you willing to hear me out?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA2BPYvBYNcV
For some reason, this felt like something that extends past just this training camp. A part of her wants to refuse, but why?
98Please respect copyright.PENANA0iudnjYe8t
Kaoru: ‘I can at least hear him out. Maybe it can help me catch up.’
98Please respect copyright.PENANAilNWUVVvHM
The truth of the matter, however, was much more than she expected.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAoWEgehKmcV
98Please respect copyright.PENANAcdOwsOx5jo
Separated from everyone, all by her lonesome in the forest, was Reiko Yanagi.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAq7yRTElCah
Her training was simple.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAAjpyacJbQU
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAG0IoYxmSsH
Reiko: “A human body… ”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAyt87sGYbJL
Her quirk, Poltergeist, is basically a worse version of Sabrina and Kaoru’s quirks.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAM6rcJ46Wks
Because of that, she faded into the background more than she already did.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAUheboOAOCL
Reiko: ‘I like ghosts, but I never thought… ’

She shook her head. It wasn’t like her to get jealous. It doesn’t change anything.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAeTuXQeMWqi
All she can do, is keep trying.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAu8WBDV6uh8
But in the end, nothing changed.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAtePztJNQig
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA5dX3ZhVNMp

Tiger: “Well done. We’ll pick up tomorrow; enjoy the food. If you have the strength to make it.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAkcWZRtvEZ3
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA7WD4TRgqZK
Speaking off…
98Please respect copyright.PENANAWCM0A2CMTr
Sabrina: “I almost forgot there were more days of this.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAO02ohg905M
Kendo: “Don’t remind me.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAAJsB22CsVT
Sabrina helped Kendo up while Kirishima carried an unconscious Tetsutetsu to the feeding area.
98Please respect copyright.PENANACwzYdxrKde
Kendo: “Um, aren’t you going to change her back?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAKNNGXUm25r
Sabrina turns her shoulder to see a small Kiri slumping over.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAdvu9lipoej
Kiri: “Don’t mind. Can change back later. Carry me.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAZNYBYDqjuT
Sabrina: “I guess not.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA2N44m0c67Z
Kendo: “Lucky.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAfbyC8tiPik
When everyone arrived in the food area, what awaited them wasn’t already made meals, but ingredients.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAiBNMIX2riE
Pixie-Bob: “Yesterday was the last day we’d help you out!!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAzTFRBaWl5H
Ragdoll: “If you want to eat, get off your butts and make it yourself!! Curry!!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAjpIRIbtAkJ
They say while pointing at the ingredients on the two tables.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAtINuTBwwY2
Everyone: “… Yes… Ma’am… ”
98Please respect copyright.PENANARHi8WMp3SW
Ragdoll: “Hahahahaha, almost all of you look terrible! But that doesn’t give you an excuse to do a sloppy job, though!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA2uzvjgswIW
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… ”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAs5UFcaSYYD
Turning around to everyone, including Class B, Ida chops his hand.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAHwE5KFz35t
Ida: “They are correct!! Let’s make the world’s best curry!!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAf2525vLTvH
In response, many did get the energy to agree completely. For the first time, the two classes worked together to prepare the meal.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAE73e4JsaR8
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAMYGGiDACqU
Izuku, of course, also had the energy to create a floating line of ingredients. It was honestly a magical sight.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAmdQQcFXzmG
Before long, it was done, and everyone dug in.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAvkxfKHkf1a
Kendo: “Not bad.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAaJomASkF3M
Aoi: “Anything would be amazing after what I just went through.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAK1rgSIsry0
Shiho: “I learned secrets I preferred I didn’t. Not to mention the headache.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZonKIox4U
Sabrina: “I don’t think I can eat after what Kirishima did to me. Ugh. Do you want mine, Kaoru?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAK2RlhFnJTQ
It was then that the friend group noticed the strangely down Kaoru. It was rare for her to simply pick at her food.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAO4RuTikFwy
Sabrina: “Kaoru?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAefEtTnitRJ
Aoi: “What’s wrong?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAAQ2JVXPPrs
Kaoru: “Nothing.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA0nPZ9ZbIm2
Shiho: “Don’t make me read your mind.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANACfPoSqPLh3
She says while opening and closing her hand.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAueQ6pLvLoE
Kendo: “Please don’t do that, Sannomiya.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAYgzgKDeM0G
Sabrina: “Come on, you can tell us.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANALIqowuXca5
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAqefwbfrubo
Kaoru: “It’s… something Midoriya said while we fought.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAKCtk6rifDU
Sabrina narrowed her eyes at that while Shiho quietly gripped the wire gun in her pocket.
98Please respect copyright.PENANADtk7TmGXKM
Aoi: “What did he say?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANADjpNnEBGcU
Kendo: “I’m pretty sure it wasn’t anything you’re imagining, right?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAe0VRBTcWOo
Kaoru: “Come on, girls, what he said freaked me out a bit but it was nothing perverse. Seriously!?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAawUa28Qzoj
Sabrina: “But it did freak you out. What happened?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAIZDtMPpwGw
Their worries only increased when Kaoru looked at Kendo with trepidation. Before long though, Kaoru regained her confidence and rubbed her head.
98Please respect copyright.PENANARwWNgdjdli
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.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAb1CUmqhXwF
Kendo: “Oh… this sounds serious.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAPgTWAvCee8
It was.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAGhtcbNsfYG
Kaoru revealed what she knows of Izuku’s quirk and his offer to some of the girls in Class B.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAsPnz97dwEW
Aoi: “If he didn’t already have two girlfriends, I would suspect this is some sad attempt at a harem.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANANZKkZ8QAW2
Shiho: “The fact he asked two boys before us also makes it unlikely.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAlbx7akTLjt
Aoi: “He could swing that way; who knows.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAIXLcYulJC9
Kendo: “I don’t know what to say… ”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAoNDdzmoCYi
Neither did Sabrina. All she could do was look at Izuku with her arms on the table and fingers interlocked.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAahQUgdPuDo
Sabrina: ‘Was that what I was feeling?’
98Please respect copyright.PENANAGccle8WWQD
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA2IxHYkY5ex
Kaoru: “I… kind of want to do it.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAamFzVv7Lf8
The girls whip their heads around to Kaoru, who’s looking down at her uneaten food.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAJFLhwZYffJ
Aoi: “You can’t be serious.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANANb4s5YRMQM
Kaoru: “I am.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAQVensFjd7Y
Shiho: “Why?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAalXXhnYx9P
Kaoru: “Because… you know what happened at Hosu.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAfPIr0ITtFb
They nod.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAXZimSDBZ05
Kaoru: “I… couldn’t save some people. If I were stronger, then I could have.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAzdZk6MIUQ8
Aoi: “But-”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAvXzQz6DTdD
Kaoru: “I’m not scared of some pain. If it will make us better heroes, then why refuse?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAT0eubyqnZT
Sabrina: “We don’t know how it will affect you.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAG8Y7aJLLOi
Kaoru: “I won’t die or lose my quirk if that’s what you’re worried about.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAl6TRJvW6VL
Sabrina: “I… don’t want you to get hurt.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA5VzjKv9wlT
Kaoru: “Heh, it’s part of being a hero, remember?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAi4n6G9Pk83
Sabrina: “I still don’t like it. Something feels… off about all of this.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAsMDKINxRPP
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.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAg27VCQCpvy
Shiho: “Should we tell the teachers?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAhFi7vzYYxl
Kaoru: “Not yet. Midoriya hasn’t really done anything bad; he just asked if we would be interested. Speaking of, are you guys… interested?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAndLEHoPPNA
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAnujMJk3L8z
Considering their chosen profession, not too bad. It’s the source that makes it questionable.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA8miMyQqWm2
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAPtfv0f3EaJ
Regardless, though, one thing remains the same.
98Please respect copyright.PENANALVOrLpQHZi
Sabrina: “Yes, if you decide to go through it, I will too.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAhHPltD74T6
Kaoru: “R-Really?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANArfBPIkeD5h
Aoi: “Yeah, we’re a package deal.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANADc00lGyBFp
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.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAq8ukwHWDlv
Kaoru: “Thanks girls. Glad to know I won’t be the only going through this if it happens.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANARvH6UZSOF7
The class president smiles at the tight bond these four have. Sometimes, she can’t help but feel like the odd fifth wheel.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAyumecxSvQV
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.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAlkrJQBdoPa
Sabrina: “Right… her.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA6V40lU8qlS
They weren’t blind; they knew the poor girl felt inadequate next to Kaoru and Sabrina. Not much they could do about it, though.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAGYok6Fz0ug
Sabrina: ‘Let’s hope this offer is a blessing and not a curse. If the former, we can all benefit.’
98Please respect copyright.PENANAHgKIoqoNZ9
98Please respect copyright.PENANAkdbJrzHWuG
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAiYHLLRDwch
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAnVeBSwYLt9
When they were all assembled, Theo started tapping his feet.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA9jaCQGkYKL
Theo: “Where is he?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANATKDYaZ2Mcp
Before anyone else can complain, another portal opens up, this one made of black mud. Emerging out of it were Azrael and Kota.
98Please respect copyright.PENANARslbbGlPUo
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?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAYcRCl1ubkd
Theo: “Yeah, Mr. Compress was even kind enough to break the equipment.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAZcrDGP0YjT
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAC5yUDiNtaz
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!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA5WEeM3BApp
Instantly, Kota’s hand transformed into something monstrous and took hold of Spinner’s neck.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAoHKTtrYuJ1
Spinner: “Arrgh!”
98Please respect copyright.PENANApFsXj7Pk5f
Kota: “What did you say? You have a problem, you foul liz-”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAz7QegGAfBS
Theo: “Enough of that, Kota. We will not insult our allies like that.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAOn9uvKjIMw
The boy turns and glares at Theo, but with a nod from Azrael, he lets Spinner go.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAzbhbOMXWNK
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.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAbMsWb2K1kz
Twice: “Yeah, but like, are… they really necessary?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAY7OqRZUgEq
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANADvXr0sqTny
But it was the other female that really sent shivers through Twice’s back.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAQHQ3A4Rt8b
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?”
98Please respect copyright.PENANAG7lWCiuxYf
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.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA1lmrvihcAE
Mosquito: “Oh, don’t worry. We understand.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA4uD6zZud5Q
The boy narrows his eyes at the woman before scoffing.
98Please respect copyright.PENANAqehR5oKJjR
Azrael: “That’s good; that means we can begin setting up for tomorrow. Begin.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANACgWen7CwwY
As they begin their preparations in the dark, Azrael and Theo turn to the lodge below.
98Please respect copyright.PENANA0hFVo6k0k5
Theo: “Look at them, sleeping peacefully. They have no idea the things I’ve cooked up.”
98Please respect copyright.PENANA1JjL3nAde7
Azrael: “And they won’t, not until it’s too late. Tonight will be the last restful sleep they’ll experience.”98Please respect copyright.PENANA8HDscMf3Rt
