The next day, all students were woken before daybreak for morning stretches. The occupants of cabin A (Who are Izuku, Naruto and the others) were the latest in attendance all because Yuji refused to get out of bed just yet saying he need 'five more minutes'.
After successfully dragging the pinket out of bed, they joined in with the others. An hour later, the sun began it's slow approach and soon graced the camp with it's light. The students were then released to get cleaned and have breakfast.
At the cafeteria where Izuku and Tanjiro sat to drink some orange juice, Uraraka and some girls were squatting by a stove setting it up. The greenet watched her have fun, playfully poking at the wood as it began to burn. A girl with pink hair said something funny making them all laugh.
He silently reveled in her delight and admired her smile, staring at her face that began to turn pink from her laughter for so long that he lost track of the world around him.
"Hey, earth to Izuku." Tanjiro drawled bringing Izuku back to their conversation. His green brows rose before he smiled apologetically.
"S-sorry, I lost you there."
Tanjiro looked to Izuku's previous line of sight and face him with a smile. "Girlfriend?"
"Yeah." Izuku sheepishly rubbed the back of his head. "I haven't seen her this happy and relaxed in a while." He didn't know if it was because they'd left UA's ever studious environment since she was usually like this during the holidays when they left school or because she was seeing new faces. Whatever it was, he was just happy she was happy.
As if reading his mind, Tanjirou said, "It's probably 'cause she's outside school and seeing new faces. I, for one grew tired of seeing the same faces every single day."
Izuku's eyes brightened at that and he grinned. "You're right!"
"That's Midoriya, hey Midoriya!"
Izuku and Tanjirou turned to see Kaminari waving and jogging towards their table with a grin.
"Oh morning, Kaminari." Izuku replied with an amused yet inquisitive look. "What's got you so excited?"
"Everything in this camp, man even my cabin!" Kaminari was posted to Cabin c, Izuku struggled to recall as he had not really taken much time to find out where his classmates resided which was careless of him. He was so caught in his own excitement of meeting new friends that he'd forgotten about his own friends.
"You're in cabin c, right?" He raised a brow hoping he was correct and thankfully, he was.
"Yup and it's dope bro. I've got these cool dudes as roomates!" He jerked his thumb at the blonde guy by his side. "He's one of them, name's Zenitsu. Zenitsu, Midoriya."
"Hey, Midoriya." Zenitsu said with a small smile and a wave.
"Check this, we got a whole lot in common; we've got lightning powers, we're blonde and we're shred kings!" Kaminari listed enthusiasticly while air shredding.
Are you both perverts...? Tanjiro and Izuku thought simultaneously wondering just what else they could have in common.
"Wow, lucky you, Zen." Tanjirou spoke up.
"You know him?" Izuku and Kaminari asked before Tanjirou and Zenitsu pointed to the crests on their sports wear.
Kimetsu Academy...
"You guys are from the same school."
"We're also friends." Tanjiro added then he smiled at Kaminari. "Take care of Zenitsu, okay. He needs a lot of care."
Not getting what that meant, Kaminari blinked in confusion while Zenitsu growled.
"Tanjiro what the fuck, I can handle my own fucking self! I'm not the same pissy crybaby I used to be!" He ranted while Tanjiro guffawed.
"That's fine, I can be a coward sometimes too." Kaminari admitted to Zenitsu and Tanjiro's surprise.
"He's not wrong about that." Izuku shrugged looking deadpan.
The next thing that happened, was Kaminari and Zenitsu whooping before doing some special kind of handshake they'd made up.
"That makes four things in common!"
"I know, we must be twins or something!"
"You guys have a special handshake??" Izuku asked aghast at their friendship development in a short period of time.
"Of course, after all," Zenitsu smirked.
"We clicked." Kaminari smirked too.
"Oh god, they're finishing each other's sentences now." Tanjirou whispered to Izuku.
"They're a match made in heaven." He whispered back and Tanjiro nodded in agreement.
"Phew," Kaminari then sighed. "All this excitement's made me hungry."
"Yeah, I'm starving too, we should go join the other guys at that table." Zenitsu said before smirking mischievously. "I saw some cute girls there earlier."
Kaminari matched his expression while Tanjiro and Izuku stared at them deadpan.
"Speaking of hunger, why hasn't our breakfast come yet." Tanjiro asked Izuku who shrugged.
"I guess Kusakabe's just taking his time."
And like the devil, Shinra showed up. "'sup, guys!" Izuku and Tanjiro s eyes widened incredulously at him.
Every Cabin had an appointed cook and out of all of them, Shinra was the best at cooking. Izuku and Yuji only knew how to make simple recipes. Naruto was also in the same boat and Asta didn't know squat. Tanjiro was to help cook on some days and would've gladly helped if Shinra had told him earlier, he was going to see his girlfriend.
"Sorry, I completely forgot about it." He sheepishly apologized.
"Oh, but I saw someone cooking for you guys already." Kaminari chimed in as he and Zenitsu were about to leave. He creased his brows and tilted his head. "He wore a black headband and was really short..."
He and Zenitsu blinked once they realised they were talking to themselves. The three boys they were speaking to had disappeared into thin air.
With a shrug, they giddily walked to their table.
There was no doubt, that it was who they thought it was. That tiny bit of a description matched Asta so well that there was no way he could be mistaken for someone else. Asta was going to ruin breakfast was all they thought as they sped over to their stove.
Fortunately for them, someone had intervened, they arrived to find Asta sitting on the ground with his knees to his chest with a sad puppy look in his eyes and a spiky blonde with red eyes manning the stove. He lifted his eyes to spare them a glance before going back to mincing the meat with precision.
"Oh it's you, Deku, Razor dentures and guy I don't know."
"I'm Tanjiro Kamado." Tanjiro replied while Bakugo grunted in response.
"That's Bakugo for 'Don't give two fucks, I'm gonna keep calling you that.'" Kirishima said to Tanjiro who shrugged already used to being called the wrong name by a certain blue haired friend of his.
"Eijiro Kirishima," Kirishima introduced himself politely to both Tanjiro and Shinra. "Heard you guys are Midoriya's roomies."
"Yep, cool teeth." Shinra complimented Kirishima who smiled in appreciation.
"Thanks."
"How's your room, Kirishima?"
If Kirishima was smiling before, he was definitely doing something more than that now. "Awesome!" He crowed. "I'm with the best roomates ever! They're all so manly and we totally get each other!"
Izuku began to suspect that this roommate thing was done on purpose so the students could cohabitate with others. "That's great, what about you, Kacchan?"
Bakugo merely shrugged. "Yeah they're okay."
"That's Bakugo for 'They're fucking fire'."
They (Except Izuku of course) silently wondered how close Kirishima was to Bakugo to keep interpreting everything he says.
"Anyway, we're really greatful you guys arrived in the nick of time." Tanjirou thanked Bakugo.
"Bakubro couldn't stand the sight of his cooking so he just overpowered him."
"It's his fault for being so fucking horrible at this."
"Liebe was gonna help but you didn't let me summon him." Asta sniffled.
Izuku quirked a brow. "Who's Liebe?"
"Him." Shinra said inclining his head towards Izuku's side. The greenet turned before he jerked and shrieked in fear at a short underworldly creature with White hair, black horns and red eyes. He held on to Tanjiro as he caught his breath.
"Jeez, what's his problem?" Liebe asked monotonously as Asta and Shinra shrugged, obviously not getting why Izuku would be afraid of Liebe.
"Izuku, are you okay?" Tanjiro asked him while he recovered from his shock by taking calm breaths.
"Y-yeah I'm good. He just...sort of...scared me." His lips wrinkled with guilt as he faced an unfazed Liebe. "Sorry." He apologized to the devil with a nervous rub on the back of his head and a bow.
Liebe just threw a carrot into his mouth and shrugged with a deadpan expression.
"We have a literal pink alien in our class and you wanna shit bricks over a devil." Bakugo snarked.
"He just popped out of nowhere, Kacchan. It's not like that!" Bakugo just ignored the greenet and continued to chop the vegetables.
"Excuse me." The guys turned and blushed on seeing a beautiful girl with violet hair and lilac eyes. She timidly tapped her forefingers together over her endowed chest while sporting a small smile. "D-do you have an extra knife?"
She's so hot!
Yuji grabbed the one Bakugo was holding and handed it to her with a coy smile."Oi!"
"Here you go." He gave her the knife, ignoring Bakugo's call for it.
"Thank you." With a dazzling smile she gave them, they short-circuited and gaped watching her leave.
Shinra blinked and shook his head back to reality. "When the hell did you get here?" He asked eyeing a braindead Yuji who sighed dreamingly.
"Fuck, so many hot girls in camp..." Was all Yuji said in response. For a moment, they all agreed before mentally slapping themselves, remembering they had girlfriends who would kill them if they found out.
After breakfast, the students spread out sitting on the ground before the head instructor, Son Goku. He wore a blue t-shirt under an orange track suit. His assisting head, Vegeta donned the same attire but his was silver and blue. To all the the students, it was a big deal to be trained by the two retired space defenders. Ochako was especially excited as she had always wanted to meet them one day as a pro.
Goku was celebrated for his outstanding heroics (Even though he was quite reckless in most of them due to his outrageous excitement for fights) however, he continously refused to take credit or was practically impassive about it as all he wanted was a good fight. Nevertheless, he was named, 'The Earth's Guardian' by the media and he couldn't do anything about it, so the name stuck.
Prince Vegeta on the other hand, while he was also celebrated had the credit for the victories thrown at him as someone had to take it, but he too was impassive as Goku was, his only interest in surpassing him. Since he has retired, his life goal to surpass Goku retired as well.
Both decided to train other powered beings, so the world they fought hard to protect would not be left at stake in their absence.
"You're all strong." Goku began to say to the students. "But I'm not wrong when I say you came here to get stronger, 'cause for you guys that's what matters most. Before we start, I wanna make something very clear." His tone had dropped lower and his gaze stone cold. The students gulped and stayed rooted in their places as the intense gaze of Son Goku himself pressured them. He raised a finger and pointed at them. "None of you leave this camp until you're stronger, in other words, once training starts, it isn't gonna stop. This ain't some fun time summer camp, it's gonna be a really rough ride and so, if you wanna leave, leave now."
He then jerked his thumb to the left prompting the students to follow his pointer.
There was a huge bus waiting for anyone who was perhaps ready to call it quits before it was too late. A muscular green man with pointy ears wearing a turban and a jumpsuit leaned back on the bus with crossed arms also waiting for the quiters. He was probably the driver.
"That's the bus that'll take you back to your homes, the comfort of your soft beds and your loving family and friends. I wouldn't pass it up if I were you, it's got food and dessert that could last a lifetime," Narrowing his eyes comically, he added, "And comfy massaging seats."
At once everyone gasped dramatically as well as the other instructors. Who the hell was crazy enough to pass up a luxurious bus ride home over two weeks of gruesome training?
Izuku stayed put, he was ever so enthusiastic to get stronger, by his side, Tanjiro and the others also refused to stand up (Yuji was a little figdety, though). Mineta had Kaminari who was surprisingly determined to stay, holding him still. Apart from them, everyone else could care less about the bus ride.
Oh I see, these kids are nuts...good!
Goku's lips widened into a grin as none made a move. "You sure you don't wanna go?" He asked for good measure and when all he got was a loud NO in unison from the students he laughed boisterously. "Hey Picollo!" He hollered to the green man by the bus. "No one's leaving, can you believe it!"
Picollo looked shocked for a fraction of a second before smiling. "Then you've got yourself some great kids!" he hollered back.
Great kids, huh? Goku looked over at the crowd of students, now his students and grinned again with his hand on his chin. "Okay, you've got pretty impressive willpower, now let's see if you've got endurance. Before official training starts, you'll be taking some tests so we can evaluate your powers, okay?"
"Yes sir!" The students chorused and he giggled.
"Can't wait to start working with you guys."
Izuku stared at the machine he and the rest of the students had found in the dojo wondering its purpose. It was screwed securely to the ground, had a cushion on the face and a screen above it. The screen lit up once Vegeta flipped the switch showing the numbers 00.
This machine must have been invented Prince Vegeta's wife, Bulma. She was the most successful inventor in the world with many honorifics to boast and built Goku's spaceship and training dome.
Izuku's heart thrummed with excitement, so much that One for all activated by accident. Tanjiro and Yuji sent him wierd glances as he calmed himself.
"Okay, maggots!" Vegeta barked. "This is where you tests start. This here is a Punching machine and it's going to evaluate your attack potency and show us just how powerful it is. The cushion will absorb the shock of your attack and the result would be shown boldly on the screen. It's a test, so there's no need to hold back." He explained and smirked. "It's not like you can break it anyway."
"This is how it works." Goku stepped forward and gave the cushion a light bump with his fist. As the rubber bounced the digits on the screen above began to read, stopping at 3000 Description: Large mountain level.
Silence...
"HAH?!"
What the actual ...
A fist bump is that powerful?!
Well he isn't the Earth's Guardian' for nothing.
Gojo released a nervous chuckle. "I do not wanna face that guy."
"Tell me about it." Kakashi agreed.
"People like this should be on your side." Yami added.
Goku on the other hand was feeling really excited already. "Okay it's your turn!" He grinned at the students.
Yuji was called up first. He stepped forward nervously and got ready to punch the cushion.
"That's your student, right?" Kakashi asked Gojo who smirked proudly.
"Yes, one of my favorites in fact."
"If he's a favorite of yours then he must be strong." Aizawa confessed as he knew of Gojo's strength and abilities, respecting him for that.
After a few moments of concentration, he went ahead to punch with all his might. The shock from the punch was amazing, wind tousling hair and clothes and then the end result; 3200 Description: Large mountain level.
"Woah!"
Yuji grinned and pumped his fist in celebration while everyone stared with awe. Gojo just chuckled with pride swelling in his chest.
"That's my student."
Naruto fist bumped Yuji once he got back. "Nice punch, Yu. It was even higher than Goku's, ya know."
"Nah, Goku wasn't being serious unlike me." He casually disagreed.
"Still, that was amazing." Shinra grinned while Asta yelled, "Awesome!"
"Nothing less from a fellow flagbearer." Tanjiro added.
Izuku was just so happy that he had strong roommates. "I'll do my best too, Itadori." He proclaimed to Yuji who smirked.
"Yeah, and maybe we'd see who's the strongest in our cabin."
Everyone raised their brows at Yuji's sudden change in demeanor, wondering why he was being competitive all of a sudden. However, they agreed with him as it was another thing they had in common.
An obsession for being the best.
"Sure thing, I'm going next." Shinra said with an air of confidence and his signature devil's grin taking a step forward. "I'm gonna break that record you set up."
He hadn't even neared the machine, but he was gone in a burst of flames, faster than the eye could see and in that same second a ball of fire hit the cushion causing the ground to shudder.
Everyone kept silent not sure what had happened since it was all to fast for them to see. The cushion (That remained intact to their surprise) jiggled as the digits continued reading passing the mark Yuji had made. The cursed vessel's jaw dropped and so did everyone at the result.
5623 Description: Continent Level.
This time even the instructors were awed as well as the mark they had deemed exceptional was easily overtaken by a landslide. No one noticed but Benimaru's lips raised a tiny bit.
"Holy shit! That's even higher than Itadori's!" Nobara said with raised brows.
"That devil looking guy is fast!" Leopold was in awe but also happy that there was another strong fire type.
As Shinra returned with a shit eating grin, Yuji rolled his eyes and looked away. "Oh fuck off." He muttered as everyone laughed with no shred of animosity.
Izuku was up next, just like Shinra he activated one for all and ran from his position for momentum and punched the cushion. The result; 3180 Description: Large mountain level.
Asta, already excited, went for the kill. Slashing his sword. His result; 5630 Description: Continent Level. He aimed his own shit eating grin at Shinra. "Hey Shinra i'm-"
"Shut up." The sharp dentured pyro kinetic graoned visibly irking Asta.
"You shut up!"
Tanjiro slashed at the cushion and the screen read; 1208 Description: Multi-city block level. The red head shrugged. "Looks like that's the most I can do for now."
"Your attack potency being lower compared to others doesn't make you a weak fighter, ya know." Naruto stated with a grin. "The difference is in experience."
In a flash he was gone from their sight and had smashed his attack on to the machine. Releasing tremendous shockwaves that forced everyone to shield their eyes. Gojo didn't need to, though. He had his infinity up and his lips widened in a fascinated smile.
The second the dust cleared, everyone gasped audibly. The punching machine was of course unfazed but it had nearly been uprooted from the concrete floor. Speaking of the floor, a huge crater had been formed and Naruto stood in the middle of it with an innocent grin. The screen read his result; 7140 Description: Planet level.
What the actual FUCK!
Zenitsu sweated nervously. "H-he was the top finisher, right?"
"Yes, he was." Arthur answered quietly.
Bakugo gritted his teeth, mostly out of apprehension (Which he would never admit to) than anger. He repeated his last question about him but this time he rephrased. " What the fuck is this guy?"
"No kidding, Vegeta-san. This thing's tough, ya know!" He chuckled while rounding the his bandaged arm.
Shinra smiled unintentionally due to habit and turned to glance at Yuji. "So uh..."
"I know, I know!" Yuji rolled his eyes eliciting laughter from his roomates.
It was obvious that Naruto practically carried their cabin, why was he even here if he was this strong? Such was what Izuku thought as the other tests began, like speed tests, grip, strength, Perception and so on. Naruto hadn't come out on top in the others but he did make very excellent points which made others and Izuku wonder how he could be this strong.
But since they were roommates, he could just ask him and it's exactly what he (and his other roommates included) did immediately after the tests were over and everyone was resting up.
"What the hell, dude. What's up with that power?" Yuji asked already up in Naruto's face.
"Yeah, how come you never told us you were that strong?" Asta added in question causing Naruto to looked confused.
"Was I supposed to?"
Asta too became dumbfounded as he rethought his earlier question. Shinra sighed. "Look, we're just surprised is all and maybe wondering why you're even training in the first place?"
"What about it, you know how strong Goku-san and Vegeta-san are." Naruto quipped and Shinra seeing the point shrugged.
"But really how are you so strong?" Izuku asked and Naruto smiled.
"Simple, I'm actually a dual person, ya know. Like Yu, I've got another person living inside of me."
"You're a vessel too!" Asta chimed excited to meet another person like him.
"Yep, he told me when we first met." Yuji shrugged.
"But how come we've never met..."
"Kurama."Naruto said as Izuku had gestured for him to tell his inhabitants name.
"Kurama." Izuku repeated with a nod then raised a brow. "Is he a fox or something?"
"A Kitsune." Naruto smiled with a raised finger.
"You've got a nine tailed demon fox inside of you?" Shinra asked in surprise while Naruto simply nodded.
"How come we've never met him, you never even told us about him." Izuku asked going back to his earlier question.
"Well, Kurama likes to sleep a lot and he's kind of a loner."
"Oh, really?" Tanjiro raised a brow.
"Yeah he only wakes up when I really need him to."
"I'd actually like to meet him sometime." Yuji admitted.
"Sure thing, I'll make sure he's awake by then, ya know."
Shinra heaved a sigh as he leaned back on his bed. "Wonder what we're gonna do next tomorrow."
"I heard it's gonna be sparring matches." Asta said punching at the air with a grin. "Can't wait to show off my skills!"
"Maybe Goku-sensei and Vegeta-sensei would do a little demonstration for us." Izuku surmised excitedly at the thought of seeing the two strongest defenders show them a few tips.
"Oh I can't wait for that!" Yuji agreed. "Maybe we'd be lucky enough to fight each other."
"I hope I fight someone strong."
"Let's not get our hopes up, it may be random so it's not like we can tell who we'd fight, ya know."
MEANWHILE...
"We're totally doing this at random, right?" Gojo asked Goku who chuckled in delight.
"Yep, it's more fun if they don't know who they're up against that's the reality of battle."
"And since we want to groom elite powered defenders in every field, this is one of the correct mediums of approach."
"No argument with you there, Vegeta-san." Aizawa agreed solemnly. "But after this, we delve into the serious stuff?"
"You got it," Goku grinned pointing a finger gun at Aizawa. "Right now, we're preparing them for what's up next, one of which include, you guys." His dark eyes sailed over all of them. "Our supporting instructors."
"This is how we're teaching the students on separate fields, huh?" Kakashi observed with a hand to his chin. "Very well schemed."
"These two weeks are gonna be as gruesome as fuck." Yami admitted already determined to push the students beyond their limits.
"I'm thankful that you experienced teachers are by my side once again." Goku smirked. "Let's give these kids some top notch training!"
Benimaru flipped his hair out of his face nonchalantly and sighed. "Since you've given me the go ahead then I'll do my best."
Tengen released a boistrious laugh. "Alright, I'll make sure to give 'em some real flashy training!"
Goku grinned at their enthusiasm, happy his vision would be coming to fruition. He'd make super defenders out of these kids no matter what, since they were the future.
Okay, first I'm soooo sorry for the hold up. I had school and all.
Second there are some things I want you to know about this work;all fandoms exist in Japan, they're not from different dimensions or anything like that.
Asta goes to a Wizard school, kinda like Harry Potter.
Shinra's in the Fire Force Academy. He's in his third year and hasn't graduated yet like he has in the original anime.
Yuji had formed an alliance with Sukuna along the line which explains why they're chummy here...I think.
(Note: for those of you reading the manga you know of the impending doom, right?)
Naruto is a morden Ninja, he's gonna explain his line of work in later chapters.
And finally, Tanjiro goes to Kimetsu Academy, a school that trains demon slayers.
So that's all you need to know, thank you for reading!
