Authors Note: So, two things. You'd think that with being in quratnet I could get a lot of writing done, right? Wrong.
I write out my chapters on paper then I type them up, it's a system that works for me, but I took my writing books to the dominican with me.
I'm back, but everything I took on the trip is in my garage in plastic bags. I don't even have my toothbrush. I have to use a new one.
So I do not have access to my writing just yet, so I'm not sure when I'll be able to get the next chapter up.
Secondly everything from , like notifications and stuff go into my junk mail. I read a lot more on ao3 now, so a lot of the time I forget to check up in my junk folder. For example, today I opened my junk and I had 197 unread emails.
Yeah.
This is half the reason I don't usually respond to reviews. I don't know I'm getting them. The other half is I get flustered since people acually enjoy my story?
Anyways, on another note I hope everyone enjoys this chapter and that you all stay healthy!
"Are you sure you have everything you need? You have sunscreen and your toothbrush and - "
"Umi! It's fine, I have everything."
Today we were heading off to the training camp. Well, I would be if Umi ever let me out the door.
"You're sure? Absolutely sure? You double checked everything?" She asked, a worried look on her face.
"Triple checked. I'm prepared for anything." I said, giving my adoptive mother a reassuring smile.
"Well, ok. Have a great time sweetie! Umiko said, hugging me tightly before stepping back.
Giving one last wave, I opened the front door and left. Umi ahd kept me later than usual with all her worrying, so instead of arriving early like I usually do, I'd arrive right on time.
All throughout the train ride and through the walk to UA, a smile was present on my face. Before This year I'd have dreaded something like a training camp or a field trip. But now, after UA and with my friends, I was really looking forward to it.
As I crossed through the school gates I saw two buses and two groups of people right outside the school. Once I got closer I could make out the faces of my classmates and those of 1B.
I smiled as Mina called out to me, waving her hands wildly.
"Misaki!" Mina exclaimed, engulfing me in a hug as soon as I got close enough.
"Hey Mina, guys." I said, smiling at the others. Surprisingly Bakugou was actually waiting with them. I would have expected him to be off on his own, but I was glad that he wasn't.
"You're lucky you just got here now. You just missed that Monoma guy." Sero said, annoyance clear in his voice.
"Lucky me!" I laughed.
Not too long after I arrived, Iida called for everyone to board onto the bus and sit in our assigned seats.
I was right up front with Mina. Right across from us were Kirishima and Kaminari. Unfortunately both Bakugou and Sero were in the back.
It was fun. We basically weren't doing anything, but it was so enjoyable. We played Shiritori, ate pocky, and talked. I learned that Mina had an older brother who was studying overseas, That Kirishima actually dyed his hair, and that Kaminari was a huge science nerd. I told them the story of how I got the scar on my hand and talked about Toshi's endless stream of boyfriends. It was amazing.
Around an hour later, the bus stopped for what was most likely a break. But, once we got off the bus we saw that there wasn't anything there. In fact, it looked like we'd just stopped in the middle of the road.
As I was about to ask our teacher where we were, the voice of a woman from somewhere behind us captured my attention.
"Hey, Eraserhead! You haven't contacted us for a while!"
I turned.
"Lock on target with our sparkly eyes!"
What.
"While our cute, cute stingers sting!"
What?
"Wild, Wild, Pussy Cats!" Two woman shouted in sink, the two of them striking a pose. There also seemed to be a small child there with them.
Who on earth were these people?
"These are the Pro Heros who'll be looking after you a lot. Their members are the Pussy Cats, Mandalay and Pixie-Bob." Aizawa explained.
"We actually own this whole area, and your lodge is at the base of that mountain." Mandalay explained, pointing at a mountain in the distance. It looked pretty far away, so why had we stopped halfway?
The rest of my classmates seemed just as confused.
"Right now it's 9:30 am. If you're fast you might make it there around 12."
No way. You have got to be kidding me.
"Back to the bus! Quick!"
I turned and ran along with the rest of the class, trying to make it to the bus.
"All the kitties who don't reach the lodge by 12:30 don't get any lunch! The woman continued, smirk on her face.
"Sorry kids," Aizawa started. I turned my head to look at the man, feeling dread taking over me. I saw the blonde, Pixie-Bob, on the ground, ground that looked to be rippling.
"Your training camp has already begun."
Dirt hit me with unbelievable force. It flung me backwards, off the road and into the forest below. A shrill scream left me as I fell, the feeling of sudden weightlessness unbearing.
"You can use your quirks all you want on our private land! You have two hours to make it to the lodge and make it past this forest of Devil Beasts!"
I hit the cold, hard ground just as the brunette fisnihed shouting her last intrusctions. I groaned in pain as I stood, patting the dirt of my uniform.
Of course it wouldn't be as easy as a simple bus ride. I guess this was UA after all.
"A Devil Beast!?"
I turned, towards the two voices of Kaminari and Sero. There, right in front of Mineta was what could only be described as a beast.
It was looming over Mineta, raising its paw, about to whack him. But it didn't. Bakugou, Midoriya, Todoroki, and Iida all sprang into action, destroying the beast before us. As it fell to the ground, it seemed to fall apart.
It was made of dirt.
Pixie-Bob's quirk must have something to do with controlling dirt and earth. If I was right, she'd probably be able to know every time we took down one of the dirt monsters.
And there'd probably be loads of them.
First things first, I needed to find Yaomomo.
Looking around, I spotted the tall girl to the left of me, standing with Jirou. I called out to her as I made my way over.
"Yaomomo! Would you mind making a compass?" I asked her.
"A compass? Why?" She asked, furrowing her eyebrows in confusion.
"Well, since we fell we probably aren't facing the same direction that we were on the road. And even if we were, we wouldn't be able to tell, right? So with a compass,"
"We'd know for sure what direction to go in! Great idea Misaki-chan!" Yaomomo exclaimed, clapping her hands together.
Then, from the palms of her hands cane a compass.
"The lodge was north-west, so we needed to go…...that way!" She said in triumph, pointing to the right of us.
"Everyone! We need to go this way!" She shouted, getting the class's attention.
I smiled at the girl and took out my hair elastic, shaking my head to get my hair out of my braid.
We had a direction, now we just had to get through.
There was no way we'd be mailing it for lunch, was there?
