Chapter 31

The whole day was absolute HELL.

But this was supposed to help us with our quirks, I could understand it, but how did anyone not collapse from exhaustion?!

Uraraka was doing her improvised training. Hovering off the ground trying to stay up right as she lifted rocks and made them move up and down, left and right, she was having a hard time keeping the contents of her stomach in.

Iida was running around the whole area, but with Pixie-bob creating obstacles for him to dodge and weave through, I could tell Iida was getting tired from dodging all the roadblocks.

Momo and Sato were stuffing their faces while working on their quirks, nothing new there. I could imagine the nightmares the two will gain from eating all that junk nonstop.

Kaminari was generating electricity and shooting it at generators that were placed around him, he would then drain them and do the process again.

Bakugo was plunging his hands in hot water and then letting out an explosion and did the process over again. Same as the previous timeline.

Jiro and Mina were working on their quirks on the side of a cliff. Those girls must be in a lot of pain.

Tsu was using her tongue to climb the cliff side.

Koda was doing vocal exercises, his voice cracked a few times.

Sero was shooting tape at a rapid rate… and not stopping.

Shoji was working on his quirk by looking for Hagakure, who, with her new ability to turn on and off her quirk at will, was trying to hide from Shoji.

Kirishima was being hit by Ojiro, both working on their own quirks.

Tokoyami was trying to control Dark Shadow in a dark cave then 30 minutes later, he would come out and try to manifest his shadow hands again and try to use them.

Todoroki was in a drum of hot water and was switching between fire and ice at a rapid rate.

Camie was blowing out her mist and dodging a dirt golem to help her maintain her focus on her creations, Which wasn't going so well as she was dodging danger.

Aoyama was shooting out his naval laser continuously and was getting a really bad stomach ache.

And me? I had 3 different ways of training. One, strength training, doing multiple exercises under Tiger's supervision, the second, training with Black Whip, I had to stand on the edge of the cliff and use black whip to break incoming boulders, in order for the whips to become stronger. The last one was training with Danger Sense, I had to wear a blind fold with noise canceling earmuffs while Toga attacked me with a fake knife.

I didn't come out unscathed to say the least, but Toga was enjoying herself.

We would break at 12 and continue at 1 in the afternoon.

Class B were doing their own quirk training, some I understood, some I didn't but I couldn't focus too much on that or else Aizawa would punish me by increasing my strength training by making me carry large tires through the field

I admit, it helped with my muscles but it was painful on my shoulders.

Finally the sun had set signifying the end of the second day of training camp.

We were walking to the back of the lodge where Pixie-bob and Ragdoll were waiting for us.

"WE WEREN'T KIDDING WHEN WE SAID YOUR PAMPERING ENDED YESTERDAY!" Pixie-bob shouted. "IF YOU WANNA EAT, YOU GOTTA COOK FOR YOURSELVES!" Everyone groaned.

I rubbed my head, I had a massive headache from using Danger sense too much.

I looked to the side to see Toga eating a bento box… I gave her a glare as she winked at me with a giggle.

"Here are all the ingredients you need to makeeee CURRY!" Ragdoll cheered as she presented said ingredients.

I sighed as Iida was getting overly excited about making curry, I didn't say anything as my headache was subsiding slowly.

I walked up to a chopping board with utensils, I grabbed a knife and started to chop some vegetables.

I watched as everyone got into as Todoroki was starting a stove with his fire. I put the knife down as I saw Kaminari and Mina handing Todoroki two pans with curry and he used his hands as the stove, the two cheered.

I couldn't help but laugh at that, those guys were two peas in a pod. I saw Kota in the distance, watching with a scowl on his face.

We locked eyes and he turned walking into the forest. I sighed a bit as I continued with the preparation of the food.

I followed the small footprints all the way to Kota's secret hideout with a plate of curry in my hands as well as a bottle of water.

He was staring at the woods with a frown on his face.

"Hey, I figured you were hungry." I called out, Kota snapped to look at me. "How did you find me?!" He asked with a harsh glare as he stood up.

"I followed your footprints leading me here." I explained with a shrug and walked closer but stopped as Kota stepped back.

So he didn't trust me … Fair enough, I put the plate down with the water bottle and stepped back. "I don't want it." He grumbled and turned away from me, "I don't like socializing with people like you. So get out of my secret base." He demanded.

I hummed with a nod. "Secret huh… well then you should probably pick a better place." I commented.

"... Improving your quirks, stretching them to their limits… Disgusting." I looked at the boy who had his fist clenched. "Flaunting your powers like that."

"... Is that what you think heroes do?" I asked softly. "Well duh! Heroes and Villains." Kota spat with venom. "Going around killing each other like idiots. Talking about your quirks all the time… All just to show off."

I stared at Kota who was looking at me with so much disdain… "Kid.. The world isn't like that." I started. "We don't do this to show off… We do this to get stronger to protect the people who need protecting." I explained.

"People can handle themselves can't they? Kota countered. "No they can't." I crossed my arms.

"Not everyone can breath fire, move objects with their mind, lift heavy objects like it's nothing, some people don't have quirks at all, those are the people who need to be protected from villains who want to cause harm." I explained. "Your parents chose to protect others."

"SHUT UP, YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!" Kota snapped. "GET OUT!"

I stared at him. "... Just think about what I said." I turned and walked away.

Kota watched with tears building in his eyes. "You don't know anything…"

Kendo stared at the ceiling, she was unable to sleep for some reason, everyone else was asleep, Monoma was taken for remedial classes with the other class A student's who didn't pass.

She sighed and got up, she tiptoed out of the room and went outside to get some fresh air.

Kendo walked out the door and took a deep breath, taking in the outdoor aroma, it was relaxing from the smell of the city.

She shivered as she rubbed her arms. "Should have brought a jacket with you." Kendo looked up to see Izuku Midoriya, wearing PE pants with a white shirt, standing on the roof. Kendo blushed as she was wearing only shorts and a pink T-shirt.

"Umm yeah.. I just wanted to get some fresh air." She explained, then frowned. "Wait, why are you up there?" She asked.

"I couldn't sleep, thought I would do some stargazing before I sleep." He explained, "Would you like to join me?" He offered.

Kendo blinked, alone time with Midoriya…. She blushed. "Let me get a jacket!" She ran inside as quietly as she could.

Kendo came back out wearing a PE jacket, she walked around, looking for a way up to the roof, "Up here." She looked up and saw Izuku leaning over the edge of the roof offering her a hand.

Kendo took his hand and he pulled her up with ease. "Whoa!" She was surprised by the fact he lifted her up easily.

"Come on." He smiled at her and guided her to a flat area and he sat down in the middle, she joined him right after.

"It's so much clearer here." Midoriya spoke up as he looked up at the sky. Kendo did the same and saw so many stars in the night sky.

She gasped softly. "Wow…" She muttered in awe. "Yeah." He responded as the two looked up at the sky.

"It's mostly cloudy in the city, that makes it very hard to see the stars." He commented. "Do you do this often?" She asked.

"Only sometimes, whenever the sky is clearest, I would take my sister to the balcony and we would look at the stars until they were covered by the stars." Midoriya smiled fondly at the memory.

Kendo smiled at that. "She's lucky to have you as a brother." She said as she looked at him and saw the moon reflecting on his emerald green eyes,

She turned away, her cheeks burning hotter.

Midoriya suddenly yawned and got up. "Well, we should get some rest, we have a lot of training to do tomorrow." He sighed as he offered her a hand to help her up, she took it and he lifted her back to her feet.

"Yeah.. yeah." Kendo smiled as they went down from the roof and made their way back inside.

Midoriya stopped at the door and looked behind him, he felt someone watching him, he originally came out here to place his shield in a good spot for him to grab it when things went down, but stargazing with Kendo was nice.

He dismissed the feeling and went inside

Nagant watched through her scope, she was perched up in one of the taller trees, watching her target.

She wasn't gonna go running with those other villains, she was better off alone.

The boy wasn't what she expected, he was kind and very generous, his interaction with the child had her questioning All For One's orders… but that might have been a mask.

Everyone wears masks.

Nagant glared at the boy and nearly jumped when he looked behind and looked around, he then shrugged and went inside with the orange haired girl.

She sighed and got up and made her way back to her makeshift camp.

She just needed to wait when the others made their move, then she would make hers.

The next day was filled with more hellish training.

"Izuuuu~" Toga called. "Time for our training time!" She held up the earmuffs and blindfold. I sighed and called back Black Whip. I rubbed my arms to release the stress.

I walked over and took the items off Toga's hand. "Looking good~." I shivered as Toga gave me a flirty wink. I tried my best to ignore the girl but I couldn't stop the blush forming on my cheeks as I placed the blindfold on my head and the earmuffs over my ears.

I remembered my conversation with the other users last night.

I paced in the visage world with the other users sitting on their thrones.

"Calm down, we'll find a way to get through this." Nana said in a motherly way. "I just can't stop thinking, ever since the mind stone connected with One for All, I can't help but imagine what it added to the quirk." I stopped and looked at the original wielder.

"Has anything else happened?" I asked, "You can still sense danger, nothing changed, but there seems to be other abilities forming, for example you could sense certain people if they weren't too far." Hikage rubbed his chin. "Then there is something else forming, we can't tell what it is but hopefully it'll help you with your upcoming battle."

I sighed and looked at the two users facing away from me. "... Still going to ignore him?" Yoichi asked the two, receiving no response.

Shaking my head, I looked at the others. "My control over black whip is nearly at master level right?" I asked Banjo.

"Yeah, with how much you're using it, I'd say that you're gonna get to my level soon." The bald man grinned. "Then maybe I can move to the next ones." I muttered as I thought of using float and smokescreen.

"Those will need to wait until after Kamino." Nana advised. "Agreed." En nodded.

"Do you have a plan for Kamino?" Yoichi asked. "I do…" I responded. "...Why do I get the feeling we aren't going to like it?" Nana narrowed her eyes, "I thought you could read my thoughts?" I asked with a smirk.

"Not all the time, sometimes you're guarded about certain information, which we respect." Banjo raised his hands. "I don't want to see those fantasies of yours."

I blushed. "Yeah.. those are private." I grumbled. "So what is your plan?" En asked me. "You'll see." I gave them a smile.

I felt a tingling sensation as I dodged another strike from Toga, it brought me out of my thoughts. Right, I was training.

I leaned back and moved to the right in order to evade the knife. The training was working, I could react faster than before and it will be useful with future battles.

I just hoped it would be enough… I recoiled when I felt a stinging pain on my arm.

"OW! Toga I wasn't ready!" I held my arm as it didn't cut but it did sting a lot!

After training was done, we were back to cooking.

Kaminari, Sero and I were staring at the pile of onions silently as we looked at each other.

"... I'm not doing it." I declared with a straight face. "Dude, I'm not good with a knife." Kaminari showed his hand purposely shaking it.

"Bullshit! You're doing it on purpose!" Sero accused.

"Rock, paper, scissors?" I suggested. The two sighed and nodded.

"1… 2…3!" Sero counted as we showed our hands, Kaminari and I chose scissors and Sero chose paper. "Damn it.." He slumped in defeat and went to do onion duty.

"I got the potatoes." I went to peel the potatoes. "And I'll help Jiro!" Kaminari left to help his girlfriend

After a filling dinner, it was time for the "Test of Courage."

I was wearing a set of UA jogging pants, a white shirt and a black jacket unzipped. I was watching as everyone got excited… except for the students who didn't pass, Sato, Kirishima and Iida, they were taken away by Mr. Aizawa. Monoma was taken by Vlad King.

Hopefully this would be Iida's last punishment… I understood the reasoning since he broke the rules and nearly got himself, thankfully it wasn't worse.

I was partnered up with Mina as we were waiting for our turn to go into the test of courage.

"Come on Midori! Aren't you excited?!" Mina asked, bouncing on her tiptoes. I gave her a smile. "I am but I'm wondering how you got all this energy." Crossing my arms as I looked around.

How would I move around the forest quickly… Black whip can't really help me here… I could tap into OverDrive… But it wouldn't be - I was knocked out of my thoughts as I felt something bump into me.

I looked at Mina who pouted. "Pay attention!" She huffed. "Did you just bump your hip with mine?" I asked, raising an eyebrow with a smirk.

Mina blushed as I smirked at her. "I uhh." I was actually shocked by this, did I make Mina blush and stutter?

I was about to ask her something else when I felt a jolt alert me. Danger sense.

Pixie-Bob sniffed the air. "Is that smoke?" She looked around and pointed. "There, black smoke." I looked around frantically looking for the source.

"Mirdori?" Mina looked worried by my expression. "Something is wrong." I told her. I then saw Pixie-bob start to float with a pink aura around her. "NO!" I acted quickly and grabbed Pixie with black whip and pulled her back.

Pixie-bob landed on her ass and looked at the two figures walking out of the forest. "Quick reflexes, as expected of Stain's chosen." I got into a fighting stance as I stared at Spinner and Magne.

These two are here, I need to incapacitate them and get to Ragdoll.

"How are there villains here?" Mina asked in shock as she took a step back. "The camp is being invaded…." I turned to Mandalay. "Where's Ragdoll?" I demanded.

"What, kid now's not the-" "She's in danger! Please trust me!" I begged as I turned my gae back to the two villains.

"She's southwest of here, just keep going straight and you'll find her." Tiger charged towards the two. "Thank you!" I looked at my friends. "Stay safe." I ordered and ran off with FC.

Mandalay glared at Tiger. "Why did you tell him?!" She asked as she dodged Spinner's blades. "Because of his danger sense, I saw him tense up and look around." Tiger dodged Magne's weapon and Pixie-Bob moved the earth to give him some breathing room.

"So you think Ragdoll really is in danger?" Pixie asked. "Have you been able to contact her?" Tiger asked the telepath. Mandalay shook her head and gritted her teeth, Ragdoll hadn't answered her coms. "Damn it."

I jumped into a branch and grabbed my shield from its hiding place and went back to running through the forest. I tried to push OFA further. Damn it I need more speed!

"Careful Izuku, if you go over your limit you'll hurt yourself." I heard Nana speak in my head. "That doesn't matter, I need to save Ragdoll!" I replied mentally.

"Kid, we know the risks but you can't do that if you break yourself." Banjo tried to tell me but I ignored him.

"... Are you that determined to save everyone here?" I nearly tripped at the new voice. "Who is this?" I asked as I kept running. "I am the 3rd user." The 3rd user responded. "No name?" I snorted.

"... I am only doing this because I can feel your desperation and I know how important this is." I growled. "If you're not gonna help, then we have nothing to talk about." I pushed OFA into Overdrive and weaved through the trees.

"My quirk can help you reach those you need to save." I stopped at that. "Go on." I looked around, no sign of Ragdoll.

"My quirk is called Fa Jin, it'll allow you to store up kinetic energy you build up by moving and release it at will." 3rd explained.

I stopped cold at those words… that was exactly what I needed. "I'll take it." I said. "It has manifested as you were running, you already have energy to use it."

Looking at my hands, I could feel something surging through it, not just One for All but something else.

"Okay… thank you." I took a deep breath, "I can feel it… I just need to be careful with it." I backed up against a tree and pressed my foot against it.

I took a deep breath and pushed OFA to 50% Overdrive, that with Fa Jin… It should be enough.

"Be warned." I heard the 3rd user speak to me. "You just manifested it, it will take you time to use it properly." I breathed out.

"Overdrive and Fa Jin…" I could feel the energy building up as I glared ahead. "I'm coming…"

I pushed off and disappeared in a flash of lightning, a loud thundercrack echoed through the forest.

The world around me was passing quickly as I hopped from tree to tree, using small bits of Fa jin to launch.

I finally caught sight of Ragdoll as she was being carried by a light blue Nomu, NO!

Launching off a tree and slammed my shield into its midsection, sending it flying back and dropping Ragdoll. I pressed my foot hard into the dirt to stop myself and caught Ragdoll in my arms.

I breathed heavily and looked at the unconscious woman in my arms. "Ragdoll, wake up! I shook her a bit.

"Uhh.. what?" She opened her eyes and looked at me. "Midoriya?" "Yes, we don't have much time, where is Mr. Aizawa." I begged as I saw the beast recovering. Damn it.

I ran away with FC, not wanting to fight the beast with someone injured in my arms. "What.. happened?" I looked at Ragdoll who looked out of it. "We're being attacked, I came to find you, are you hurt?" I asked. "Leg.." I looked down and saw that her leg was a little bruised, maybe twisted.

"Where is Aizawa?" I asked again. "I need to take you to him." I ran faster, I had no idea where I was going, I needed to be careful.

"K-Kota!" Ragdoll's eyes widened. "Where's Kota?" She asked, now seeming lucid. "I think he's at his hideout." I responded and Ragdoll closed her eyes to focus.

I was about to ask one more time but she grabbed my face with her gloveless hands. "WE NEED TO GET TO KOTA NOW!" I moved my head back shaking my head.

"I need to get you to-" "There's someone with him, I can't tell who but I know it's a villain!" I stopped and turned to the direction of the cliffside. Muscular.

I gritted my teeth. "... Fine, I can get us there, I just need you to hang on, tight!" I already built up enough kinetic energy.

Ragdoll nodded and wrapped her arms around my neck.

I tapped into Overdrive and Fa Jin once again and dug my foot into the ground. "Wait… you have-" "Later!" I cut off Ragdoll and we vanished in a flash of lightning with thunder echoing once again.

Dabi looked up into the sky, hearing more thunder, his hand on a tree, his quirk bruning it with blue flames. "I thought there wasn't gonna be any rain tonight." He spoke to his companion.

Twice looked at Dabi. "The weatherman app is totally accurate! NOT!" Twice said, contradicting himself.

Dabi narrowed his eyes. "These kids don't have a weather quirk… we would know… what's going on."

Kota stumbled back as the hulking figure walked towards him, his mask off showing his missing eye and insane grin. "Mom… Dad…" He remembered the man's face from the news from when his parents died.

"Die!" Muscular tried to attack but his eyes widened when a green and yellow blur tackled Kota out of the way. "What!?"

"Hey UGLY!" Muscular turned just in time for me to kick him across the face.

I pushed off and landed next to Kota and Ragdoll. "Sorry about the throw." I apologized as I held my shield in front in a defensive position.

"No worries." Ragdoll held Kota in her arms. Kota looked at me. "You…" I gave him a smile. "Hey kid." I greeted and I turned my attention to the villain. "Now you were on the list.." Muscular got up and gave me a crazed smile.

I had one child, one injured hero and a crazy villain… crap.
