And we're back. So yeah. Fem kota. Deal with it. Gonna have another hot springs scene in this chapter, where the hero course girls see Izuka, and her scars.

So let's go!

)=(

Izuka walked with Kota to the hot spring. The little girl climbed up onto the top of the wall and sat down.

"So this is it?" Izuka called up to her.

"Yeah!"

Izuka began walking out. "Oneechan? Can you stay?"

Izuka turned and smiled. "I'm just going to shower, and then I'll soak here. Is that all right Kota?"

The little girl nodded. "Yes. See you soon Oneechan!"

Izuka smiled and returned to the changing room. As she showered, she heard several voices start talking. Mina Ashido, Ochaco Uraraka, Tsuyu Asui, Momo Yaoyorozu, and Toru Hagakure all arrived in the room.

"So. What do you think of the camp so far?"

"I think it's tough. But it's kinda fun. I can feel myself getting stronger."

Izuka stepped out of the shower and walked into the hot springs.

"Was that Yumi?"

"Let's hurry up and join her!"

A little while later, the students settled into the hot spring. The first thing they noticed was Izuka was in fact there. The second thing they noticed was the scars on her shoulders.

Ochaco bit her lip and slid over next to the scarred girl. "Hey… Yumi… are you okay?"

Izuka looked at Ochaco confusedly, before realizing her shoulders were above water. The scars she had from self harming were visible for all to see.

"I'm fine. Don't worry about me…"

Momo suddenly realized what Ochaco was concerned about. Yumi had many scars, but her shoulders were a mess of criss crossed lines. It was as if she had torn herself apart hundreds of times.

"Yumi…" Momo slid up next to the scarred girl as well, she looked closer at the scars. There were hundreds. "Yumi… how long have you-"

"Just… let it be okay?" Izuka smiled. "I'm fine now."

Momo shuddered. She knew that she should be okay with that answer. She should be fine. Yumi was alright, wasn't she?

'Her smile… it's so broken…'

Just then the girls heard a clattering from the wall Kota was stationed on. A killing aura sprung up from the small child, surprising Izuka.

'She can make a killing aura?'

A scream came from the wall, accompanied by some shouting. The voice was easily recognizable as Mineta's.

"HEY! THANK'S KOTA!" Mina smiled up at the little girl.

The girl gave a thumbs up and then turned around to glare at the boys. Her eyes went wide as she saw Bakugo, Kirishima, and Shoto out of the water, completely nude.

Kota fell back off of the wall. Izuka dashed forward and caught her. "You alright?"

"Uhhhhh…"

Izuka chuckled at the dazed expression the little girl wore. "You saw them naked didn't you?"

Kota's face turned beet red. Steam came out of her ears. "UUUUHHHHHHHH"

All of the girls giggled, except for Mina who was busy staring at the scars that littered the girls body. Namely the hand shaped scars on her arms.

'Why are those familiar?'

"Well then. It's getting late. I'm gonna head to bed anyway, come on Kota."

Izuka set the little girl down. Kota followed her out of the hot springs. Ten minutes later, everybody was in bed.

At around eleven thirty, Izuka heard a knock on her door.

"Who is it?"

"Oneechan? I had a nightmare…"

Izuka opened the door. The little girl looked up at her innocently. "Do you wanna talk about it?"

Kota shook her head. "Can I just… sleep here?"

Izuka yawned. "Is your auntie okay with it?"

"I told her that I wanted to see you and she said it was fine…"

Izuka let the little girl into her camp room. "Just so you know. My girlfriend is here too."

"Girlfriend? Like… you love her? But you're a girl…"

Izuka shrugged. "Love is love."

Kotas eyes fell upon Toga, who was in her disguised form. She crawled in hesitantly, but then Izuka crawled into the bed next to her. Kota could feel Izuka's heartbeat through her chest. For some reason, it was perfectly synced with the heartbeat of Toga.

"Good night oneechan…"

"Goodnight Kota."

)=(

The next morning, Mandalay hugged Kota tightly. She then proceeded to offer Izuka some breakfast, and gave her a seat next to herself and the little girl.

"Kota's taken a liking to you…"

Izuka simply nodded as a response.

"The other heroes will be here soon… will you spar with them?"

Nezu butted into the conversation. "Actually, young Shoudai will be teaching with the big three."

Izuka raised her eyebrow. 'Miro Togata, Nejire Hado, and Tamaki Amajiki… The top three students in UA's hero course…I wonder when they'll get here…'

"HEYA! HOW YOU DOING?"

'And there they are…'

Three students walked up to the dining table, each held a suitcase with a hero suit inside. One had periwinkle hair, the second had dark blue hair, and the third had a shining blonde hair. It reminded Izuka of All Might so much that she almost threw up.

'God. That's awful.'

"Hello Mirio. Hello to you as well Nejire and Tamaki. Did you enjoy the ride here?" Nezu asked.

"Ride? We ran here." Mirio said. "It's an excellent way to warm up!"

Izuka smiled. 'Maybe these three will be fun after all!'

"So what are we doing first?" Nejire smiled. "Just patrol? Or some sparring maybe?"

Aizawa walked up to the three students. "You three and Shoudai will be teaching the class for the first half of the day."

"We get to teach? Awesome!" Mirio grinned.

Aizawa looked at the three third years. "Alright then. We'll be starting in ten minutes. Be ready."

"Yes sir!"

Izuka watched as Aizawa began talking to class 1-A and 1-B. She walked over to the area they would work in and began stretching. After a two minutes, Mirio, Tamaki, and Nejire arrived in their hero costumes.

"OKAY! LET'S GET STARTED!" Mirio cheered. The hero students looked at the group of four as if they each had three heads.

"Sensei… these are the one's training us?"

"For the first half of the day, yes." Aizawa said. "We'll use the time to monitor your progress. Both classes will be sparring against the four you see in front of you."

"Oh this should be fun." Monoma grinned, cracking his knuckles. Most of the hero course had the exact same thought.

The competent students had a different thought.

'This is gonna be hell.'

"Alright. How do we start…" Mirio pondered. "Oh I know! Both classes vs us!"

"Mirio…" Tamaki mumbled. "I don't think we can beat all of them…"

"Sure we can!" Izuka butted in. "Piece of cake."

"Oh yeah! We've got this girl!" Nejire piped. "Wait… who are you again?"

"Yumi Shoudai." Izuka smiled. "Nice to meet you!"

"Nice to meet you too!" Nejire bubbled. "I'm Nejire Hado! My quirk is wave motion. What's your quirk?"

Izuka grinned. "I don't have one."

The three stared. Mirio grinned even wider. "That's so cool! You must be really strong!"

Izuka winked. "You'll see."

"Alright. Like I said. All of you against us! After that, we'll move on to some different types of training!"

The forty students cracked their knuckles and got into a ready stance. Mirio ran forward, only to fall through the ground.

"What? Where'd he go?"

"Did you see where the blonde guy went?"

Jiro went wide eyed. "Everybody watch out!"

Mirio popped up and punched a student in the stomach, before disappearing yet again. Izuka smiled at the display.

"Well you two? We can't let him have all the fun!"

"Right!"

Nejire leapt up and began flying. Tamaki grew wings from his back. His arms turned into tentacles. "Chimeric form, fury!"

Both began fighting with the forty students. Izuka rushed forward and downed three first years with quick jabs. As the battle went on, it became clear who was better at what.

Ochaco and Tsuyu faced of against Nejire in midair. Shoto and Kirishima fought against Mirio. Tokoyami, Iida, and Kaminari fought against Tamaki. Izuka fought Bakugo, Mina, and Jiro simultaneously.

"Hey hey HEY! You guys are pretty good! Mirio grinned.

'I'm barely landing my hits on him…' Kirishima grit his teeth. 'He knows his quirk…'

Nejire giggled with joy as Ochaco and Tsuyu did their best against her. "Mirio's right! You guys are fun!"

Tamaki was shuddering as he fought. "I'm not hurting you guys am I?"

Izuka grinned. 'Oh I'd love to fight these three… they're good…'

"Hey you guys. Is this all you got?" Izuka laughed at Bakugo, Mina, and Jiro.

"No way." Orange sparks flickered around Bakugo, before turning into a raging storm of lightning. "FIFTEEN PERCENT!"

Bakugo took off. Izuka easily matched his speed. They fought back and forth, never landing a hit on each other. As they fought, Mina and Jiro began destroying the terrain.

"Heh… Nice strategy you two!" Izuka appeared behind them and knocked them to the ground. "But why don't you cut it out?"

Izuka was immediately wrapped in black whip and yanked to Bakugo, who delivered a punch to the stomach.

"Damn. I almost felt that one."

Izuka broke out of black whip and grabbed Bakugo's shoulders. The girl flipped over him before whirling him over her head and smashing him into the ground.

Meanwhile, Mirio was dodging the attacks of Shoto and Kirishima. Kirishima grunted as Shoto was knocked out. "Dammit."

"What's the matter muscles?" Mirio Taunted. "Can't fight alone?"

Kirishima chuckled. "Muscles? You're more muscly than I am."

"Even so. Can you fight me?" Mirio rushed forward with a punch.

"You'd be surprised." Kirishima caught Mirio's punch. The blonde grinned madly.

"Oh? You're not gonna give up?"

Kirishima grinned as sweat dripped from his forehead. "It's our school motto right? Plus Ultra…"

Kirishima's body rippled. His arms were covered by several layers of new muscle which quickly hardened as they grew. His hands became jagged claws. His shirt ripped as his entire torso changed.

"Let's go!"

Kirishima blasted forward in the blink of an eye. Mirio felt his arm fracture as Kirishima landed a punch.

'He's faster… I didn't have time to react.'

Mirio activated his quirk as Kirishima threw another punch. This time, Kirishima sailed through him. "Nice one!"

The two continued fighting until Kirishima's quirk timed out. "Damn… Five minutes already…"

Mirio sat down next to the redhead. "That was really good! Best fight I've had in a while!"

"Really?"

"Yeah dude! You're good! You'll be at the top of the charts after graduation for sure!" Mirio grinned.

"Thanks. That's a huge confidence boost." Kirishima smiled. He then heard the sounds of the other fights.

Tamaki had overpowered those he was fighting against. Now Everybody was watching Ochaco and Asui as they danced through the air, fighting Nejire.

"Huh. They're better than I expected." Mirio smiled.

Ochaco finally reached her limit. Her quirk timed out and Both her and Asui fell. Nejire landed beside them. "That was really good! You two work well together!"

"Thanks! You're really cool!" Ochaco said.

"Now. Is that everyone? Oop! Looks like Yumi's still fighting!"

Those who had finished fighting watched as Bakugo pushed himself to twenty percent, His lighting becoming a storm as he fought against Izuka.

"Damn… that kid's a force of nature." Nejire bubbled. "I'd have a hard time against him."

Mirio grinned as Bakugo and Izuka fought. "I think I'd be able to take him. He analyzes people well though." Mirio raised an eyebrow as he caught glimpses of Izukas face. She seemed bored.

"Huh… well. I'd like to fight her too…" Mirio said. "She's definitely intense."

Izuka blocked every attack that Bakugo threw at her. She noticed that everybody else was done and finished up quickly, pushing a bit of extra stamina into her arm and punching Bakugo in the stomach. The blonde bomber was knocked down.

"And that's it!" Izuka smiled. "So, what have you learned from this fight?"

The students grumbled.

"Don't underestimate your opponent."

"Remain alert, never think you have the upper hand."

"Seriously, what the fuck are you guys made of?"

Aizawa walked up to the group. "These three… well four. Are possibly the strongest in the school. Mirio, Nejire, and Tamaki are the closest to being the next top three heroes, even amongst the other pro's. As far as Yumi… She has proven to be quite powerful as well."

Mirio grinned as Iryu healed his arm. "Thanks for the compliment. And thank you for the healing."

Iryu gave the boy a smile.

Izuka itched the side of her nose. "Oh come on Eraser… I'm not that strong…"

"Well. There's only one way to find out!" Mirio grinned. "Yumi Shoudai! The big three challenge you to a sparring match!"

The two hero courses took interest in the challenge. Aizawa nodded. "Alright then. It is up to her, however."

Izuka grinned. 'Yes! Just what I wanted!' She cracked her knuckles in preparation. "I accept!"

"All right then… students, clear the area. This should be good…"

The students all went to the sidelines of the field. All of the teachers came to watch the fight. Even Kota showed up.

"You ready?" Mirio grinned.

"Wait, all three of them vs her? Isn't that unfair?" Kota asked.

Izuka smiled at the little girl. "Don't worry Kota. This'll be a piece of cake!"

Izuka got into a ready stance, Aizawa raised his arm.

"Ready? Begin…"

Mirio immediately came at Izuka from the front. Tamaki took the left, and Nejire took the right. Izuka braced herself for a hit, But Nejire turned and vaulted over her, hitting from above with her quirk. Mirio phased through her and kicked her back into Tamaki, who had transformed into a centaur. The boy horse kicked Izuka in the chest, sending her flying.

"Ooooohhh." The students winced.

Izuka just got up and dusted herself off. "Is that all you got?"

Mirio grinned. "Thought so. You've been holding back."

"And what if I have?"

"Well…" Mirio appeared in front of Izuka in the blink of an eye. "It means we can go all out."

Izuka was backhanded across the face. The hit sent her spinning into a tree. She plainly shook it off. Right after she hopped back up from the tree, she was hit by a massive blast of energy from Nejire. Then Tamaki came in and clapped his hands, which were now massive clams, on either side of the scarred girl. Another blast of energy hit Izuka in the back and kicked up a cloud of dust.

"Did that get her?"

Kota started tearing up. "I SAID IT WAS UNFAIR!"

"Hey now." Kota turned and looked up, to see Izuka smiling. "I said it was gonna be okay."

"Oneechan?"

Mirio looked around as the dust cleared. "Hey, where'd she go?"

"Over here!" Izuka called. "If you're going all out, then I can do the same! You ready?"

The big three smiled. "Ready when you are!"

In the blink of an eye, Nejire was down, punched in the stomach. Mirio looked at her with wide eyes. "Nejire?"

The blonde's instinct screamed at him, and he activated his quirk. Izuka sailed right through him at light speed. The kick she would have delivered cracked the ground. "Oh come on… I thought I had you…"

'What is this feeling?'

Mirio shuddered as Izuka turned around, her eyes holding no life, just a thirst for death. "Well? Are you gonna fight or what?"

Mirio went into frantic mode. He immediately disappeared into the ground. He came up in an attempt to punch Izuka in the back, but found himself nose to nose with his opponent, who was grinning. "Come on. Do you think I'm stupid?"

Mirio reared his fist back. "Special move! Blinder touch eyeball crush!"

He was shocked when Izuka didn't flinch. She simply stomped on his foot.

"OW!"

Mirio stumbled back and released his quirk.

"That was a mistake." Izuka said as she glowed. She threw a punch in the blink of an eye. Tamaki appeared before Mirio in an attempt to protect him.

"Unbreakable Carapace!" Tamaki was hit with the full power of Izukas punch, which shattered his seemingly unbreakable shell. Tamaki was knocked out.

"Sh-shit!" Mirio shuddered. The girl in front of him was a monster.

Izuka grinned. "Well now… do you concede?"

Mirio smiled. "Not on your life."

"That was your second mistake." Izuka disappeared and reappeared behind Mirio. She pressed down on his shoulder, numbing his entire body.

"Damn. you got me." Mirio huffed. "Guess that's it then…"

"Here, I've got you!" Iryu stood up from the group of first years and healed the big three. "Do you have any injuries Shoudai?"

Izuka shook her head. "Nope. I'm fine."

"When you're all healed, get on with the training." Aizawa said.

"Right away!"

The big three and Izuka taught the hero course students for the first half of the day. For the second half of the day, Izuka hung out with Kota. And soon, it was night time.

Kota stayed in her bed that night after Izuka helped Mandalay tuck her in. And so Izuka waited until eleven O'clock, before making her way out of the camp. About ten kilometers away, A warp gate opened. Izuka passed through into the vanguard base.

"Welcome back."

"No time to lose. Twice, clone me."

Jin created a duplicate of Izuka as Yumi. The clone kissed Izuka on the cheek, before going through the portal and back to the camp. Nobody saw Izuka leave, or the clone come back. Nobody knew that Izuka had been replaced by a clone. Nobody knew what was coming.

Nobody knew what the entire camp had been pitted against.

Nobody that is, except for the league, more specifically, Izuka. The girl spent the night with Tetsutetsu, who had definitely undergone a change. His hair was longer, his features more chiseled. He had taken care of his weird eyelashes. Now he just looked… beautiful.

And so, the next day marked the beginning of the league's next plan. Izuka gathered every member of the vanguard together. Everything was ready.

)=(

Okay. So next we start the camp attack. This'll be fun. I've had this event planned out in my mind since I posted the first chapter. So, I hope that you all enjoy what comes next.

Also, sorry about the second ascension. That'll happen eventually.

Until Next Time!

Sushi Out!
