Chapter 21: Game Start!
Review Replies
Harleking31: Hooo~ Shiny new toys for the fox boy? And now it's time for the training camp arc, I can't wait for the confrontation with AfO
Dragon Emperor0: It's definitely something we've been planning for—a good long while. All things considered.
ThermalsniperN7: You'll see what kind of plans when we get there.
SuperShadic2002: Okay, so, I've got only a couple things. First off, love it, you guys did great. Second off, is the energy kitsune based off of Yuki Terumi's Black Susanoo from Blazblue? Was meaning to ask that during the USJ and just didn't think about it. It's what it reminds me of, anyway. As for your question...a magician never reveals his secrets
Dragon Emperor0: Yeah we know. Also it's actually loosely based on Naruto's nine tails cloak 2, but that's neither here nor there.
Ohma flame: this was quite the undertaking, you two did good
Dragon Emperor0: Yeah, next time we're gonna work on it one section at a time. We learned our lesson, trust us.
ThermalsniperN7: I had to do that on a phone, so it was quite the chore for me…
Kakarifers: And there it is - proving my point exactly. You're making a personal attack at me for honest criticism of the story. Yes it is a fanfic but fanfics that do well are not character dialogues back-to-back-to-back.
Every story, even a fanfic, has world building in it. Characters talking back and forth to one another with essentially nothing between the dialogue is just draining on the page. Take Green Tea Rescue or Viridescent for example: there's flow to the story and something to break up the character dialogue. Unique world building, great scenic descriptions, character development, etc.
This is seriously just honest feedback - if you want to improve your writing take some constructive criticism instead of getting defensive and antagonizing towards people for pointing things out. Frankly it feels like you see no fault in your writing style and that anyone who indicates otherwise is automatically wrong/out to get you, or personally attacking you.
If you're happy with your writing: by all means continue writing as such. Just don't rage towards reviewers when they're genuinely trying to offer advice. Honestly I'd recommend giving the two stories above a short read in places to see what I'm talking about.
Dragon Emperor0: I already went into my rebuttals of this review with you at length in PMs, so I'll only say this here. Given that we haven't had anyone make any other such points on our other MHA stories, I'd say we've worked things out already.
Korog the Oversoul: If Izuku has Ban's Pre-Purgatory powers, as Ban gave Elaine his immortality that he got from the fountain of youth—granted he gained incredible power and durability from the experience and likely could be argued to have some sort of enhanced Survivability, healing, and slowed aging, he can die but it takes a hell of a lot more than most can ever hope to dish out—And OFA when used with a quirk, burns life force, and is comparable to Escanor's SunShine, does that mean that Izuku won't have to worry about how he'd only get like 15 years of life after getting OFA?
I'm just imagining if somehow Ban had SunShine while immortal, he could go into The One: Ultimate form without killing himself.
I'm glad I found this story, I live for this kind of stuff
ThermalsniperN7: Hm… Interesting arguments there, indeed.
Dragon Emperor0: I like to think that pre purgatory Izuku would be burnt out if he gave his immortality away, but I don't think post purgatory Izuku would due to the simple fact that everything about him—including life force—would be pushed to beyond human levels, thus stopping the burnout all together.
Korog the Oversoul: I forgot that unlike AO3 only allows 1 review per chapter, so this is partly a continuation of my review of the first chapter.
I think that Ban, or Lancelot, maybe Vulpes or something like that, or Zorro which is Spanish for Fox , something like that would work for a Hero name….
He doesn't have a lot of a reason to use Deku, and if he gets a vision of the Seven Deadly Sins, and sees Katsuki is Meliodas, he is Ban and maybe also Escanor, Ochaco is Elaine & others to be determined at a later time.
And on another note, Ochaco didn't actually die did she? How did that get kept from her brother Harlequin/ King?
Seriously I think that if OFA had a Sunshine feature, Izuku could take out all the Nomu, and as I say that I realize that is exactly why it shouldn't happen.
I also love Jonathan Young, he rocks
Dragon Emperor0: See above post for an explanation on my view on it. Also, thank you.
ThermalsniperN7: What he said.
Korog the Oversoul: 'WT Aids: So 3 other ppl got over 110 points?
Dragon Emperor0: I have no bloody idea what you're talking about.
ThermalsniperN7: Ditto.'
I'm sure they meant that Izuku's score in the practical exam was a combined total of 110, and he was ranked as fourth, and 3 other people getting that kind of score is a little alarming. Especially if Katsuki still only got 77 combat points.
Also I don't know why everyone is bitching about the opening, but then again I have only seen it as chapter 2.
Dragon Emperor0: It was a thing from the story's infancy, you won't see it here. Also, your explanation is exactly what we should have said—in hindsight.
Guest: This needs work. Remember, you are not writing an anime or manga. On this site, you are writing a book.
Guest: This story isn't bad but instead of just giving izuku bans powers what you have done is pretty much make izuku ban and that ruins the story
Dragon Emperor0: To both reviews: Yeah, well, that's like your opinion, man.
Korog the Oversoul: Melascula/Euryale, she got scared of Escanor in canon, but Izuku is going to first put the fear of God into her, and then make that seem insignificant when compared to the fear of Izuku if she tries to do anything to Ochako. Like if it's possible, Izuku might have a second awakening and be able to Snatch souls if Euryale threatens Ochako
Dragon Emperor0: Exactly.
ThermalsniperN7: Soul Snatching… Hm…
Korog the Oversoul: Hey, hold up! If Izuku Gifts his immortality away, he will die in just under 18 years. If he can BIND his life force to Ochako's, then that'll be great.
Dragon Emperor0: As stated before. Post Purgatory, Izuku won't have to worry about that. So it won't really matter.
Korog the Oversoul: That wasn't third base, that was a home run
Dragon Emperor0: *Puts on sunglasses as Next Episode by Snoop Dawg plays* Hell yeah.
ThermalsniperN7: *Also puts on sunglasses* Damn right.
Korog the Oversoul: I'm sorry if this is not a good review, but while I get that as a fanfic, the readers tend to know the setting in a visual sense; however it would be nice for a bit more descriptive details, or even a character saying or thinking about… well say back in the Stain arc, if Izuku had thought 'Man, this alley is four different kinds of filthy,' or if you described Ochako and Taida's rooms, not their dorms though.
I really like the story and I really want more
Dragon Emperor0: Given that we haven't gotten any such comments afterwards. I think it's safe to say we fixed it. But you are right, that suggestion for the Stain arc would have been a nice touch.
ThermalsniperN7: It kinda sucks that you don't get experience until you need it…
ArronAlpha: Can I just say, I both love this fic and its creativity when introducing iconic SDS scenes with little issue. I do find some of the action scenes a little short and sweet but if that's on purpose, all the power to ya. Other than that, I love how Midoriya is still Midoriya while at the same time Ban, its a great balance you got going with him
Dragon Emperor0: Thank You.
redmen6blight: Sad to see that people just can't enjoy fanfiction for what it is meant for entertainment seriously. You don't like to simply not read it and can't figure out why people can't figure this out. It's like with any other form of entertainment you don't like it simply don't consume it it's really as simple as that
ThermalsniperN7: Aye, tell us about it…
Dragon Emperor0: No kidding.
Nevarus: redmen6blight you cannot determine whether you like it or dislike something from a potentially deceptive synopsis... you have to read it first. it's really that simple, how is that hard to understand? also I find it hard to believe that this isn't worthy of putting in the crossover category when you specifically mention another piece of fiction in the synopsis... I hope to be disproved
Dragon Emperor0: Hey, no arguing in the reviews or we'll put you in time out… That being said, you do make a plausible point.
ThermalsniperN7: True…
Mariomine2004: IDK if this is the right place to add a suggestion, but I had a bit of an idea. What if, during the train arc, Izuku gets curious about how erasure actually affects quirks, and the answer allows him to slightly mimic it.(So Izuku would "steal" their ability to activate/utilize their quirks) Maybe calling it Quirk Hunt?
Dragon Emperor0: There's actually a villain in the Shiehisaikai who can do something similar with his quirk Larceny. So I think Izuku could learn to do something like that, maybe as an Ultimate Move.
ThermalsniperN7: It would come in handy against just about any villain, allowing him to rob them of their biggest asset.
-UA Campus after the big I-Island incident-
Class 1-A was in their classroom getting their stuff so they could go home after getting some last minute papers for the training camp. And as this was happening, Izuku was trying to dodge the unending barrage of questions being hurled at him by his friends about his now not so secret relationship with Ochako. Meanwhile, the girls were busy talking about that and the apparent fact that they couldn't go on long trips over the summer for school reasons.
"Man, this sucks! I don't wanna be cooped up in my room for the summer!" Mina complained.
"This is indeed a shame. I was supposed to tour Venice with my parents." Momo sighed in disappointment.
"What is your life?!" Ochako exclaimed dramatically.
"Hey, I got an idea, why don't we go to the school pool then?" Tooru suggested.
"Hey, that's not a bad idea." Ochako nodded.
"Yeah! That's better than staying at home the whole time!" Mina smiled in agreement. "Though that being said…" The girl continued before wiggling her eyebrows, putting her arm around her friend's shoulder. "I bet Uraraka here just wants to go so she can see Midoriya in a swimsuit." She teased.
"M-Mina!" The gravity gal squeaked with an atomic blush on her face.
"Ribbit, that does sound pretty accurate." Tsuyu mused.
"Sh-shut up!" Ochako stuttered as she looked away from the girls while they chuckled slightly in amusement. All of them failed to notice Taida perking up at their conversation about the pool, causing him to start cooking up a plan.
Meanwhile with the boys, Izuku was starting to get really pissed about all the questions he was getting. "Will you guys shut up already? It's my love life, so butt out already!" The immortal snapped.
"Come on, man! You gotta let us in on some deets!" Kaminari complained.
"I don't have to let you in on squat! Kacchan, back me up here!" Izuku said as he looked back at his rival, only for him to scoff.
"Leave me the fuck outta this." He said dismissively.
"Come on, Midoriya, at least tell us when you guys started dating. Don't leave us hanging like this." Sero added.
"I'm simply wondering so that I can assure myself and Mr. Aizawa that your relationship won't hinder our studies as heroes." Iida nodded in true class rep fashion.
"I'd just do it, man, they're not gonna let up." Kirishima added. Though Shoji, Koda, Tokoyami, Ojiro and Shoto seemed to be the ones who weren't prodding for information.
"... Okay, for Iida, no it won't hinder anything." Izuku conceded with a sigh. "And we agreed to start dating at the practical exams against the faculty before the I-Island incident." He added.
"Oh, so just recently." Ojiro surmised.
"You get to third base yet?" Kaminari questioned, which made everyone go rigid and Taida to twitch slightly.
"... I have no obligation to answer that." Izuku replied stiffly. 'Yet.' He added mentally with a small cackle.
"That sounds seriously sus." The boys said to themselves.
(Later)
After school was done, Izuku decided to go to Dagoba beach to get some thoughts out of his mind. As he did this, he continued to watch the sunset—thinking about finishing his ten months of training here. Before a voice pulled him from his thoughts.
"Uncle Might wasn't kidding. It sure is beautiful out here." A voice said behind him, causing the boy to turn around and see Melissa standing there next to him.
"Oh, hey Melissa. When did you get here?" The immortal asked as they looked at the scenery together.
"I got here today, actually. I'm supposed to be starting school at UA next semester in the support course." She explained, this made the boy's eyes widen.
"Seriously?! That's great!" He grinned at the thought of another friend going to his school. "How'd you manage to get in?" He asked, curious.
"That would be my doing." All Might said as he approached them.
"Oh, hey, All Might." The Fox Sin said, nodding at his mentor.
"What brings you out here, young Midoriya?" The man asked as the immortal teen looked out at the ocean.
"Just remembering. This beach is where my journey began." Izuku said, remembering the absurd amount of garbage he worked with as he got his body in shape to inherit One for All.
"Ah, it is important to remember your beginnings." All Might nodded, joining them in their sunset watching.
"On that note, I have something for you, Deku." The blonde said as she pulled out two wristbands and a sort of suit—which was neatly folded—from her satchel.
"Are those what I think they are?" Izuku asked with wide eyes as he took the objects.
"Yep. Dad managed to pass these on to someone who knew what they were doing, and they managed to get them made." Melissa nodded with a smile. "They look forward to hearing your feedback." She added.
"Thanks, Melissa, I owe you one. Seriously." The Sin of Greed sighed as he hugged them both.
"You're welcome." The girl smiled back.
(A couple days later)
"995, 996, 997, 998, 999, 1000." Izuku grunted as he let his squatting weight bar drop to the ground as he sat on his bed and started doing curls, while also drinking a bottle of Fatgum inspired mango flavored ramune. As he finished up, he glanced at one of his All Might posters. "I'm not done. Not by a long shot." He said to himself before he heard the doorbell ring. This prompted him to go to the front door and answer it, revealing it to be…
"Taida and Kaminari? What are you two doing here?" The immortal asked with a raised eyebrow as he looked at his classmates.
"Oh, we decided to swing by and invite you to the school pool with us for some endurance training." The Grizzly Sin replied.
"Poolside endurance training? When'd you guys cook this scheme up?" The immortal questioned as he crossed his arms.
"That's not important right now, you wanna come or not?" Kaminari asked.
"... Fine. I'm game." Izuku shrugged, not seeing the harm. Plus, he wanted to give Ochako a treat in the form of a free show, too.
"Alright, let's go." The two smiled.
(Elsewhere)
Meanwhile in the teachers lounge, Aizawa and Class 1-B's teacher Vlad King were going over the powers of every student in their classes for the training camp—and were in fact wrapping up.
"And finally we have Izuku Midoriya, his quirk is called Fox Sin. It combines the powers of his original quirk Snatch—which allows him to attract things to him and steal physical attributes or objects from people, even manifestations of quirks—with his immortality, which grants him eternal youth, and a form of super regeneration which allows his body to become stronger the more he regenerates." The erasure hero stated.
"And after the events of the Sports Festival and the I-Island incident, he's more than likely gotten stronger." Vlad King deduced.
"Exactly." Aizawa nodded before the door to the room opened, prompting them to look and see Izuku, Taida and Kaminari standing there.
"Ah, hello. Is there something you three need?" Class 1-B's teacher asked.
"We're here about that form we turned in earlier." Kaminari said as Aizawa picked said form up.
"Yes, you said you wanted to use the pool for endurance training. You'll have until five thirty, make sure you use that time well." The man told them.
"Yes! Thank you, sir!" Kaminari said as the three students bowed before they left.
(A bit later)
The three boys were now in the locker room getting changed into their swim trunks, and if Kaminari was being honest, he kinda envied Izuku's toned physique. That kind of body could get him any chick he wanted, for fuck's sake!
"Gotta admit, guys. I never expected you guys would wanna do something like this. Kaminari because you're not much for extra work and Taida because… well, you're kinda lazy." Izuku said as he finished applying sunblock.
"Oh shut up, you." The floating boy huffed as he gave his friend the stink eye. He was a bit salty about him dating his sister, like just about any brother would be.
"How about we just shut up and get out there so we can Go Beyond! PLUS ULTRA!" The electric boy exclaimed as he struck a pose, Taida following suit.
"Eh what the hell?" The Sin of Greed shrugged as they headed outside, the other two practically running—only to skid to a halt via faceplant when it was revealed that all the guys were there too. "Hey guys! Glad you could make it!" He called.
"What the–?! Why are the rest of the guys here?!" Kaminari questioned as he looked at Taida.
"Oh, I texted the rest of the guys so they could get some extra training in, too." Izuku told them with a shrug.
"Damn it… And there are no girls in sight–!" Kaminari started to lament before noticing the girls in UA swimsuits on the other side of the pool.
"Hey, guys! Didn't expect to see you here!" Mina called as she and the rest of the girls did some stretches. And most curiously, Melissa was with them, dressed in a school swimsuit that implied her mature figure quite well.
Ochako, meanwhile, looked at Izuku's body with a hungry look in her eyes as she licked her lips slightly. She was definitely appreciating the free show her boyfriend was giving her, even if she'd seen it before.
"Say, when did Melissa get here?" Taida asked as he took notice of the blonde's presence amongst the female students.
"Oh, she got here a couple of days ago. She's due to join UA's support course next semester." The immortal told everyone, causing them to blink and look at him.
"How do you know that?" Ojiro asked curiously.
"Oh, she told me when she gave me some support items I asked for." Izuku replied with a shrug.
"Interesting that she would be allowed to leave I-Island." Iida mused before looking at Kaminari and Taida. "Anyway, Kaminari, Taida, you both did a good job coming up with this. You're an asset to the class." He told them with a smile as he walked up to them.
"Oh jeez." The two gulped as they started backing away. "Run!" They yelled as they started running away.
(Later)
Everyone sighed as they all collapsed on the ground in exhaustion after a good round of exercise. While Iida brought out an ice chest with cans of orange juice inside, which was ice cold for them to drink. Izuku stood on one of the podiums, looking slightly winded as he caught his breath before Iida walked up to him.
"Here, Midoriya. You look thirsty." He said, offering the teen a can of juice.
"Oh, thanks, Iida." The immortal nodded before he took the can and popped it open before downing its contents. The speedster chuckled a bit as he sat on the podium next to the Fox Sin, getting his attention. "What's so funny?" He questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"I just find this amusing." The runner replied with a small shake of his head. "A few months ago, I never thought we'd get along, much less become such great friends. Then I saw what you did in the entrance exams. Just look at us now." He continued.
"Yeah. Honestly, I first thought of you as just a stick in the mud." The boy nodded. "But now that I've gotten to know you better, I know that you're definitely one of the best people I've ever met. And I mean it, I never had an easy time making friends." He added.
"Glad to hear it, Midoriya." Iida nodded as they clasped hands with smirks on their faces.
The bromance moment was ruined, however, when Ochako came out of nowhere and bit down on Izuku's left pec. This caused him to tense as he looked down at her and Iida to look at her in shock along with the rest of the guys—Katsuki in particular trying to stifle a laugh. Then her teeth fully sunk into her boyfriend's skin, causing him to scream in comical pain.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" He yelled as his entire body turned red. With the girls, they had gaping looks of shock on their faces while Mina took pictures with a grin on her face.
(A few minutes later—spongebob style)
As everyone was relaxing, whether they were sitting on the side or swimming a bit to cool off, Izuku hugged his girlfriend from behind as he kissed her, causing her to giggle as she enjoyed his embrace.
"Aw, what's all this cuddlin', huh?" She asked with a smile.
"Just shut up and let me cuddle you, Ochako. I need to recharge my battery for this pool race the guys are having." The Sin of Greed told her as he continued to hold her close, kissing her neck.
'Well you're being suspiciously sweet. What's gotten into you?' The gravity gal wondered with a smile as she enjoyed her boyfriend's kisses… Right before she suddenly found herself in a hold, causing her eyes to widen in alarm as Izuku had a mischievous look on his face. 'Wait… This grip is–!' She thought as her boyfriend chuckled before lifting her out of the water. 'A GERMAN SUPLEX!' She yelled internally.
"INCOMING!" Izuku yelled as he suplexed his beloved mochi junkie into the pool with a loud crash, causing everyone to look at them in surprise as they resurfaced. "Ha! There! Let that be a lesson so you don't bite my pecks in front of everyone!" He laughed.
"Ah?!" Ochako got out as she floated in the water.
"Hey! You don't see me biting your boobs in front of everyone, huh? Do ya?!" The immortal jeered.
"No fair!" She pouted as she floated in the water with an adorably grumpy look on her face.
'Fuckin' hell, she's cute when she's angry… I love it.' The Fox Sin thought as he poked her cheeks. "Don't you get snippy with me, cheeks for weeks, you had it coming!" He added.
"What even is this…?" Taida questioned as he watched his sister and childhood friend act that way.
"Ribbit, I dunno. But it certainly looks like what most couples would do together, I guess." Tsuyu shrugged.
(Later)
After that fiasco, the boys all gathered around the pool to try and do a series of races to see who would win, with quirks being completely allowed. Some of the first people up were Katsuki, Kirishima and Sero just to name a few.
Needless to say there wasn't much swimming going on, as Katsuki and Sero went above the water with their quirks. This of course ticked off a few of the guys.
"Hey, you're supposed to go in the water!" The redhead exclaimed indignantly.
"It's called freestyle swimming!" Katsuki retorted as mini explosions went off in his hands. A few more races went by with Shoto using his ice to just go over the water, much to everyone's indignation, and it eventually reached a race with Izuku and Iida competing against each other.
"Alright… Go!" Momo exclaimed as she blew her whistle, prompting them to start racing. Iida just used his quirk to skid along a lane marker while Izuku used Snatch to pull himself to the other side faster than the speedster could move.
The effect basically made him ski on the water's surface on his heels.
"Oh come on! I expected that from Iida, but you, Midoriya?!" The electric boy in the class complained. As the three winners of the races got into position, they all got ready to go.
"Good luck you guys!" Melissa called to them.
"Thanks, Melissa!" Izuku called back. Ochako twitched a bit, but restrained herself.
'You're the only one for him, Ochako.' She thought to herself.
"On your marks… Get set… Go!" Momo exclaimed as she blew her whistle, prompting them to jump. The three immediately used their quirks, Katsuki propelling himself with his explosions, Izuku pulling himself with Snatch and Shoto 'surfing' on his ice. It was neck and neck and before anyone knew it, the three had reached the other side at the exact same time. "This race is a draw!" The rich girl declared for all to hear.
"Aw man~! That is so not satisfying." Izuku groaned in his usual sing-song tone as everyone gathered around them.
"No shit, Deku." Katsuki grunted.
"Holy crap, that was insane, guys!" Sato exclaimed with a grin.
"Yeah, you guys were nuts!" Sero added while everyone continued to praise the three as their day at the pool came to a close.
(The next day)
The day after the pool fiasco, everyone was finally at school getting ready to go to the camp, and everyone was really excited. It wouldn't be just them, however, since Class 1-B was also joining the trip. Speaking of which…
"I heard some of Class 1-A failed the final exam! You must be so embarrassed! I thought your class was supposed to be better than mine!" Monoma rambled like a dumbass. Kendo was quick to knock him out to avoid making the scene too awkward.
"Sorry about him." She apologized, dragging him away. Izuku, meanwhile, handed Katsuki the Purgatory proof environment suit and the temporal synchronization wristband.
"Here, Kacchan, this'll help you train with me at camp." He told his rival, all while hugging Ochako from behind.
"What are these, exactly?" The pomeranian haired boy wondered with a confused frown.
"Things you'll need when you go to Purgatory. I'll explain on the bus." The immortal told him.
"Alright everyone! Line up in seating order!" Iida told his classmates as he made several chopping motions.
On the bus, everyone was messing around and Izuku was explaining why the two items were important for Katsuki, and it did help the blonde understand their importance.
Katsuki didn't say it out loud, but he was beyond terrified of going to Purgatory for training, but he trusted his rival's attempts to keep them safe and went with it. If this worked, then he'd grow incredibly strong from this level of training.
After about an hour on the bus, everyone got off and saw that they were on the side of the road at some sort of cliff. There was also a car that was there, the owners of which appeared to be awaiting them.
"Long time no see, Eraser." A female voice said. As the two figures inside of the car stepped out, the students turned around and were able to see who they were.
"Hang on, is that-?" Ochako questioned.
"Holy crap, it actually is!" Izuku said in surprise. One odd intro later, and everybody knew that their trainers for camp were the Wild Wild Pussycats. The two before them were Mandalay and Pixiebob. Both of them had, predictably, cat themed maid outfits in red and blue, respectively. Though Mandalay was a brunette and Pixiebob was a blondie.
"I thought these guys retired five years ago?" Katsuki questioned as he looked at the two heroes.
"Just because heroes aren't as popular as they used to be, doesn't mean they retired, Bakugo." Taida chided, resting on his pillow like usual.
"So we're training with the most known mountain rescue specialists, huh? Sweet." The immortal of Class 1-A grinned, figuring out what's going on.
"That's right~!" Pixiebob sang with a grin.
"Then why're we stopped here and not at the training grounds?" Ochako questioned, before she and the others suddenly started putting the pieces together. "Oh no…" She groaned.
"You gotta be kidding." Kaminari added nervously.
"That can't be right." Sato nodded.
"Uh, back on the bus, quickly." Sero nodded.
"Yeah, good idea!" Taida nodded with sweat pouring down the side of his head. However, before they could get close to the bus, Mandalay cut them off.
"Not so fast, kiddos!" She said with a grin. "The camp is at the base of that mountain, which means you'll have to go through the Demon's Forest to get there!" She told them, pointing at a mountain.
"Oh piss off!" Bakugo yelled at the teachers.
"Oh fuck all the way of!" Izuku added as he dusted himself off, flipping Aizawa and the two cat heroes the bird.
"You can be mad all you want, just remember that if you move quickly, you might get there in three hours!" Pixiebob yelled before she used her earth manipulating quirk to send the students over the cliff and into the forest below.
As everyone recovered from the fall, Izuku had to pull his head out of the ground–it had been shoved into it like an ostriches head would.
Shaking the dirt clods out of his head he tried to get up–only for the round, plump, heart shaped ass and thick thighs of Ochako to land right on top of his back-nearly breaking it in the process.
"Ow…" He groaned, getting his girlfriend's attention before she quickly got off of him.
"Sorry, babe." She apologized as she helped him up.
"Get moving, you lazy butts! Clock's ticking, and if you don't reach the camp, you get no lunch!" The blue colored cat heroine called down to them.
"If you think I'm gonna take this lying down, you can suck my–." The Fox Sin started to say before he was cut off by Ochako pulling his face into her chest.
"Behave." She told him before dragging him into the forest where everyone else was headed.
"Damn, you've practically got him wrapped around your finger." Kaminari remarked as he walked next to the couple.
"It comes with–" Ochako started to say before a loud roar was heard, causing everyone to snap their heads in the direction it came from. Their eyes widened when they saw a giant creature walk into view, and it looked monstrous.
"The hell was that?!" Izuku shouted in shock.
"Who fuckin' cares?! Let's just kill this thing!" Katsuki yelled as he blasted himself towards the beast to try and take it out, only to get smacked aside like a fly.
"Everyone, work together!" Momo exclaimed as she made a cannon and took aim with it.
"Right!" The rest of the class chorused as they started fighting through the beasts.
"Hear me and restore peace to this land!" Koda exclaimed, only for his quirk to have no effect.
"Strange. One would think that would work." Tokoyami remarked.
"Unless they aren't living creatures." Shoto added with narrowed eyes.
"So we're dealing with golems? Great." Kirishima sighed as he hardened his arms. It at least made things easier.
Shoto was quick to freeze a golem in its tracks and leave it open for Katsuki to destroy the upper half while Izuku destroyed what was left. Elsewhere, Ochako and Tsuyu worked together to get another of the mindless constructs high into the air before letting gravity take care of the rest. Mina, Toru and Momo did a distract and destroy strategy on one golem and it went off without a hitch.
Back at the top of the cliffs, Pixiebob was overseeing the progress of the students and was amazed by how well they were doing. She was actually kinda giddy.
"Ya know, I didn't expect you to put these kids through stuff like this right off the bat." Mandalay noted. Aizawa let out a silent sigh but nodded.
"We're hoping to drill an entire semester's worth of training into them during this week. So we have to go pretty hard on them." He explained. "But I'm not worried, despite their rather avoidant demeanor, they're all exceptionally tough for their age." He added. "I'm counting on you to take care of them, Pixiebob."
"Leave it to me! Ooh my fur's standing on end!" The blonde purred in excitement. Off to the side, a kid that had been there the whole time looked down at the forest as Class 1-A tore their way through it with a look of disdain on his face.
"Idiots." He muttered to himself. 'Why would anyone want to be a hero?' He thought.

Hours of trekking through the golem-infested forest later. The entirety of Class 1-A stepped, limped, slinked, hobbled—or in two cases—floated to the Wild Wild Pussycat's headquarters.
In particular, Izuku was being floated there by Ochako, as overuse of his quirks caused him to lose all feeling in his extremities as his body regenerated, and Taida was unconscious on his pillow as he was floated along as well.
"The litter's almost here!" Pixiebob said as she saw the kids approach.
"Urgh, I thought you said it'd only take us till noon…" Bakugo groaned.
"Well, you guys got here later than we thought!" The blonde woman chirped as she looked at them. "I guess we made the mistake of using times based on our runs through the forest." She added thoughtfully.
"Oh come on! That's just mean!" Sato complained as he caught his breath.
"Alright, enough of that." Aizawa told them. "Go ahead and get the rest of your things off the bus. After that you can eat, bathe and sleep." He added.
"Before any of that, can I ask who the kid is?" Izuku asked as he regained some feeling in his body as he looked at the only child present.
"Oh that's Kota, he's my cousin's kid." Mandalay told him. Izuku decided to go and introduce himself to the kid as he started getting the feeling back in his extremities.
"Hey there, Kota. My name's Izuku Midoriya, the Fox Sin of Greed." The teen said as he leaned down to the boy. "Nice to meet ya." He added, hand outstretched. The response he got was a punch to the nuts, shocking everyone, however… "Please, kid. This isn't a schoolyard fight. Have some class." He deadpanned, completely unphased by the low blow, which honestly surprised Mandalay and Pixiebob a little. Even Kota was surprised.
Yanking the boy up by the back of his shirt collar, the Sin of Greed brought him to eye level. "You know, having an attitude like that won't get you any friends. Or a girlfriend for that matter, just saying." He told the kindergartner with a deadpan look on his face, knowing exactly what this kid was like—because he could see himself in him.
"Tch. Why should I listen to some wannabe hero?" Koda scoffed.
"Look who's talking, squirt." The immortal shot back.
"Kid's got spunk, but that won't count with Deku." Katsuki said with a shake of his head as he looked at the scene.
"He's like a mini version of you." Taida and Shoto noted in unison. "JYNX!" They said, pointing at each other.
"WHAT?!" Katsuki snapped. "You can just shut up before I blast you two all the way to hell!" He growled, though the other just looked unimpressed.
"Okay." They said in a Saitama-like manner, causing Ochako to start laughing uncontrollably.
"Oh man, this is awesome!" She hollered as she held her sides.
(Later)
Everyone was now in the cafeteria getting some food in their bellies, and given the long-ass trek they went through to get here, they were fucking starving. It showed by how they all ravenously ate every morsel on the table.
"This is so good!" Kaminari exclaimed in delight as he ate some noodles.
"I'm so hungry! I think I might eat until I burst!" Kirishima added as he gulped down rice by the spoonful. Izuku was likewise doing the same, and was devouring everything he could get, including his favorite pork cutlet dish.
"Wait—I smell beef!" Taida suddenly said. This caused Kirishima and Kaminari to to go rigid.
"You guys have meat here?!" The redhead questioned in obvious glee.
"Yep. This is gonna be the only time we'll do this for you guys, so enjoy it while it lasts." Pixiebob told them.
"We will!" The shark toothed boy replied before he resumed eating.
Off to the side, Kota just stood next to a box of vegetables and watched everyone with that same look of disdain on his face. "Kota, honey, could you get me those vegetables?" Mandalay called. The boy picked up the box and gave the students one last look before walking off. Izuku spared him a glance and wondered what exactly was going through his head.
(Later)
After the food was thoroughly devoured by the twenty students, they then decided to go to the mountain base's natural onsen or hot springs and were now relaxing.
On the boys side, the conversations were drifting towards a pretty typical direction for that of hormonal teens: checking out the girl's bath just for the hell of it.
"Hey, Midoriya, aren't you at least a little curious about what's going on on the girls side?" Kaminari questioned the scarred teen next to him.
"No. Why? It's nothing I haven't seen before." The Viridian colored teen said nonchalantly as he read a copy of "Arthurian Legends of Britannia: Codified". This response got a shocked silence from pretty much every boy in the vicinity.
"Wait, you mean you've seen Uraraka naked already?!" Kaminari exclaimed, snapping out of his shock.
"Not just that. I also fucked her brains out—twice." The immortal chuckled, holding up two fingers up for emphasis while never looking up from his book. Shocking the boys further and also pissing Taida off.
"YOU MOTHERFUCKER!" He yelled in true protective brother fashion. This loud yell seemed to have scared the girls, because they screamed and splashed around—and on the top of the fence, Kota quickly looked at them to make sure they were okay—and ended up getting an eye full of all their figures as well.
This had a very unintended effect of him fainting and falling into the boy's side of the springs, which Izuku noticed and quickly jumped into action and caught the unconscious boy. He looked at him for a moment before he took his leave to get him to Mandalay.
(Elsewhere)
"Eraser told me that a couple of you kids were a little girl crazy, so I had Kota up there keeping watch. Guess that's one of the consequences of having a class full of teenagers." The woman sighed.
"I wouldn't worry, he only looked because one of the guys yelled and scared the girls." The boy shrugged. "It's kinda my fault, I riled him up accidentally when I bragged about—." He started saying before stopping mid sentence, realizing that he was about to say "banging his sister".
"Bragged about what?" Mandalay asked with a raised eyebrow, only for her question to be waved off.
"Don't worry about it." He said dismissively before he frowned. "What's his deal with heroes, exactly?" He asked. He knew what Kota was going through, but he needed to know more.
"Well, it's because his parents were heroes. They were murdered by a villain—while protecting a group of people." The woman explained which made the Sin of Greed wince.
"I can already tell that he didn't take it well. And mixed with how young he was, he took it as his parents leaving him behind." He noted, deducing that Kota's young mind wouldn't be able to understand what had happened.
"Exactly." The brunette sighed sadly. "How do you begin to explain to a child that his parents died honorably?" She continued with a few tears rolling down her cheeks.
Izuku's mind suddenly started to recall the memories of the USJ when he and Ochako saved each other during the fight with the Nomu—nearly losing her in the process.
"Promise me again, but properly this time."
"You got it, Ochako, I'll take you away—I promise—!"
"Let me finish, damn it."
Shaking the memories from his head, the Fox Sin looked at Koda with both Empathy and Sympathy. He definitely understood him, more that he could know right now.
(Later)
"Okay, now that you've all gotten some relaxation in, let's discuss what's gonna happen here at camp." Aizawa said as he looked at his students. "First, an example." He continued as he tossed a ball to Katsuki. "Bakugo, try throwing that."
"Like the fitness test? Okay." The boy nodded as he stepped up to the plate. He then reared his fist back, and threw it with his quirk. "No one blink… GO TO HELL!" He roared as the ball soared.
"Man, there's no way he hasn't improved!" Sero said with a grin.
"Yeah! I bet he can throw the ball a full mile now!" Kirishima nodded with his own grin.
"That was 709.6 meters." Their teacher said, shocking everyone around them.
"Only four meters?" Izuku questioned in surprise.
"It is obvious that you have improved, but those are mostly mental improvements, with some stamina boosts thrown in. Your quirks haven't changed that much after all this time." The tired looking man stated. "So brace yourselves. The training here is going to make it feel like you're dying, and you'll wish you were!" He exclaimed with a slightly mad grin.
Izuku, meanwhile, just seemed annoyed. 'Feel like I'm dying? I have died before.' He thought as everyone stared at the man in disbelief.
Dragon Emperor0: And with this done, we've at last gotten Fox Sin back up and running again with the first two episodes of season 3. Gotta admit, it's been a hot minute since we did this story if I'm being honest.
ThermalsniperN7: Considering the last chapter was literally a giant one based off the first movie of the anime that I had to do on my phone at the time, it should feel that way. We honestly needed a break from this, and I know we said we would have this on hiatus to get the other MHA stories caught up… We just needed more diversity to our work, so here you go.
Dragon Emperor0: That being said, we are catching up to this one pretty quickly at our own pace so it isn't really a problem. Anyway guys, see you all next time.
