AN: With this chapter, I started watching Season 3 of the anime. Until now, I thought that 5 season would take a while (I've forgotten about the JoJo incident), but having watched two of them the end of the anime seems dangerously close. I suppose I'll have to start reading the manga after that. Yay!

Also, I'm pretty sure that I'll just end up giving One for All to Mirio.

Chapter 13:

It was the day after the exams that Aizawa told us, that no matter what, all of us we're going to go to summer camp. Yay! Couldn't be happier. (I hope you feel the sarcasm.)

The students who failed where having a little unplanned celebration right there, however their good mood quickly vanished when Aizawa told us that their failure wasn't forgotten, and they'll receive extra classes. I mean, whatever they're going to do with them mustn't be much worse than Fumiko's form of giving extra motivation.

The camp was one week long, and we got a list containing a bunch of stuff that we needed to buy, so invisible-girl exclaimed that it could be a wonderful opportunity for all of Class A to spend time together. I was the vice class representative, so Momo wouldn't let me escape, and though I didn't protest much outwardly I was still dissatisfied.

Some people even recognized us from the Sports Festival, for better or worse. It wasn't even a fucking group activity, it didn't take us that much time to split up and decide to meet a couple hours later. I got all my purchases made in half an hour, and while I could have gone to one of the arcades those places were filled with tryhards, so I just found a relatively cheap ice cream place and just sat there for a couple hours, getting an ice cream every dozen minutes so they wouldn't kick me out for just using up space. When it was ten minutes left until the meeting, I got up, and went back to the meeting point, where the only one who was punctual beside me was Tenya, I could at least count on him to honor his word.

One thing I had to during this little summer camp was find someone to take care of kitten, last time I forgot her at home, and that did not turn out well at all. I remember coming home to a lot of cat poop in my home, and the smell was just unbearable.

So, I had to get someone to take care of her. But who? All my friends will be at the summer camp, so they're out. Corrosive, maybe? He was better than nothing, so I got out my phone from my backpack, and called him:

"Oi Corrosive!" I started.

"Yes, yes, what is it now? Did you fail your exams or something?"

"Hah, you wish. I'm not gonna fail and then turn out like some little vigilante or something. Not my style at all. I actually aced the exams if you're interested, nobody even thought about me cheating, that's how good I did it."
"Well, you've got me interested, UA has a notoriously good track record with catching cheating students."

"I thought of that, and eliminated it through making sure that the cheating literally couldn't be seen. I put it inside my head, then rolled my eye 180 degrees."

"That's gross, but effective. I must commend it was indeed a great plan."

"Thanks, but the main thing I'm calling you about is to ask if you could take care of my cat? Last time I forgot her at home and it did not turn out pretty."

"I'm an unlucky choice, all animals hate me for some reason. Now Fumiko, they just love her, I've got no idea why. I'll ask her to help you out with it. Is it a cute cat? If it is, then it'll be way easier."

"Well, I may be biased, but with her soft black fur and grey eyes she's just adorable to me."

"Say no more, I've got this."

It only took seconds, but Fumiko was standing in front of me, and instead of a greeting she asked.

"Where's that cat you want me to take care of?" I showed her the kitten, and apparently she liked it well enough, since she teleported me back to the headquarters.

"Doppo! Great to see you again!" Corrosive was coming to greet me, but kitten got absolutely freaked out, her fur became like jagged rocks and you could see the cracks on her skin.

Corrosive stopped right there, and after looking at the cat carefully for a few seconds, he sighed.

"Doppo, I'm not against animal experimentation, but what did you do?! If anyone other than me saw this, you would've gotten into a lot of trouble, and the administrative work is just the worst!"

"I didn't do anything! There was one time where she licked a bit of void, and got turned into this! It was months ago!" That stopped him.

"Months, you say? So, it isn't a temporarily copying ability? Those aren't that rare, but permanent copying is rarer than quirkless people who weren't bullied." He always knew how to make jokes, I give him that. It was delivered in such a normal way, you didn't expect it or anything, that's what made it brilliant.

"Could we perhaps do a couple experiments on her? In the name of science, of course."

"Both of you are out of your minds." cut in Fumiko "I'm taking care of this cat now, and neither of you will do any experiments on her." That was a bummer. "I will." Forget my earlier sentence, of course she was going to, she's the one who actually learned biology.

With that out of the way, it was time for the training camp to start, and so I went prepared. Before we boarded the bus, Aizawa gave a small speech which was nothing outstanding, it was written in the same generic style like every other UA speech I've ever heard in my life.

I sat next to Shoto, and shared with him my theory on how he could use his quirk to generate water, through creating ice then heating it up with fire. He just kind of sat there during my little presentation, and at the end he told me that he would consider it. I think that was a positive reaction from him, and I shouldn't ask for more.

After an hour after start, we stopped in a "rest" area, but I could see that it was surely a trap, since there weren't even toilets, and no proper rest area lacks toilets. So with these observations, I prepared for an ambush, since this likely was also one of Aizawa's schemes.

It was the perfect area for an ambush site, it was a barren piece of bus stop right next to the mountain road, the steep mountain-side being on both sides of us. From above, a wonderful surprise attack could have been initiated, or even from under us, if someone climbed up the mountain-side.

It was an ambush alright, an ambush of cringe. From another car came out two pro heroes, part of a group called "The Wild, Wild Pussycats" wearing ridiculous cat-like costumes. It looked so bad, I swear, like it was made for five year olds. Speaking of young children, they had one with them, I noted.

"We own this whole stretch of land here!" one of them said "You'll be staying down there, at the foot of the mountain." she pointed at a piece of the forest. My mind started realizing what we were going to do. Ochaco's clearly didn't since she asked a pretty stupid question:

"Then why did we stop here?" Others also started catching up, and some sentences advocating for going back to the bus were heard.

"It's 9:30 now" the red cat-girl started "maybe around noon?" This caused the advocators from earlier to panic, and start rushing towards the bus. They didn't realize, they lost the moment they left the safety of the vehicle. I, instead of wasting time with running, already transformed, and started swiftly working on creating the biggest wings I've ever tried to make.

"Kitties who don't make it by 12:30 won't get any lunch!" And I was right, since the blue cat-girl jumped in front of the ones who were running towards our transport, and used some kind of mud-flow/earthquake like power to push everyone down the side of the mountain. Everyone but me that is, since the first second I saw them using some kind of earth-moving power, I jumped high into the air, and set my gigantic wings into a fine position for gliding, and just resolved to take a relaxing flight over the forest. I kind of felt sorry for the others, but by now they should have learned to have some planning skills.

At least one puny flying monster made out of dirt approached me, but I kept calm, and used my arm to make a giant broadsword out of void, and cut down the wings of the creature, I didn't even have to interrupt my gliding pattern.

I actually arrived on time, since there were very few more earth golems that challenged me, probably most of them were focusing on the students down there. Plus, it was the same thing with them as with the robots: Big, ungraceful, slow and most importantly stupid. You didn't have to be a genius to beat them rather easily, like how I did it.

I don't know when I landed exactly, but it was around noon, and I could see that the two members of the Pussycats at least were surprised, Aizawa just had his usual "I would much rather be sleeping right now" expression on his face.

"So, where's that lunch you were talking about?"

"Uh, we didn't actually think anyone would make it in time, so we don't have lunch." Well, that was some not "bad" news, but at least irritating ones. You would think that if it was actually that special that I came on time then I would have at least got some decent lunch, but no.

So the five of us just kind of waited there, not much talking being done, the kid being quiet on purpose, Aizawa because he just didn't care, the two Pussycats probably knew each other well enough that a conversation would be redundant, and I just didn't have anything interesting to talk about.

The building actually looked really underwhelming. It was just so plain and simple, a generic multi-level block in grey colors. I know I said that superhero hideouts should be hidden, but in the jungle this would stand out just with it's cleanness. I had enough time to appreciate it while I put my bag in my room.

It took a couple hours, and by then it was closer to evening then noon, the sky gaining an orange tint, but the others staggered out of the forest at last.

The first one to say anything was Kirishma, and that was a "Kamiyama, you bastard, you should have told us!" to which I just smiled obliviously.

Blue-cat-girl gave them a little motivation, by saying that she expected them to take even longer. Aizawa added that after they put their bags in their rooms the dinner would start.

Dinner was actually pretty good, the food's taste was great, and after that we had bathing, in hot springs. I swear I'll never get this thing in Japan, of sitting in hot springs with your fellow males. I actually let my skin fall off, and just chilled there in the form of a black bean, looking like a mole, giving others the excuse that it felt good to let my skin fall off, but really I just didn't like sitting in a hot spring with just a towel.

Mineta of course couldn't waste the valuable opportunity, and attempted to climb over the wall in order to peek at the girls on the other side. Okay, so, why does he do this? I don't mean the perving, I don't care about that, but actually trying to peek on people you know? On people you regularly interact with? That's just stupid. This time it wasn't the inherent stupidity of his actions, but rather his lack of instincts that caused him to fail, being stopped by the little kid, Kota, who after being thanked by the girls fell over himself, only to be caught by Iida who previously sidestepped a projectile called Mineta, who delivered him to Mandalay, aka Red-cat-girl.

Next morning, at the crack of dawn, all of us were out in the backyard, listening to another one of Aizawa's speeches:

"The goal of this training camp is to make you stronger, and make you able to attain your provisional hero licenses." was the summary of the first part, the second however "Doppo, try throwing this." he threw a ball at me, same on from the test on the first day of school "Your previous record is 1236 meters, can you make that number higher?"

The thing is, we were standing in a clearing that was the backyard, and he never spoke about limitations, thinking that they weren't needed to mention. However, by relying on us to know that he included them mentally, an excuse could be used that he didn't say that there were rules, so I extended my arm for at least 40 meters, and flung the ball in a wide arc.

"2041 meters." he said in a bored voice, though slightly irritated. I just smirked victoriously.

"The point he failed to demonstrate was that most of your progress was made on the technical and mental levels, not in physical ones. Your quirks didn't improve that much, so that's what we're going to work on." After this, he tried to scare us:

"It will be so hard that you'll feel like dying, but try not to actually do it." Hah! I learned to reconstruct my body without pain receptors. It took a while, but it was so worth it.

Unfortunately, only pain receptors in my human body could be disabled, and my senses were extra strong in my void form, as I experienced it under Corrosive, but thanks to him, the training Aizawa prepared for me (having Mina continuously spew acid at me and not lose control) was basically useless. He was still a sadistic bastard however, so he put me next to Shoto, so I could acclimate to fire and ice as well, which was actually a smart move since fire was my weak point, but damn if I didn't curse him for a thousand years of pain than I didn't do anything.

At the end of the day, when we want back, longing for some food and a nice bed, the thing we got was a giant bamboozle, and we were told that we would have to make our own food. Now, please understand, that I was pretty grumpy from being burned then freezed continuosuly for 8 hours, my mind actually made up a pretty smart plan (transform into something resembling a bear, make a mouth big enough to fit a whole person inside, then just eat a couple of potatoes and a couple pieces of raw meat before going to bed. Bada-bim bada-bum, I get my nutrition and I get my sleep, while others have to work and stay up later than me.) I didn't want to be a jerk however, so I helped, with my extra sharp new void arm.

The next day, after Denki got finished with his extra lessons, I got sent next to him, to increase my pain tolerance against electricity Aizawa said, the crafty bastard. I admit, making my control stronger through different types of pain is definitely a smart move, but it's fucking painful! After training was over, we again did the dinner, and I showed other people my even sharper new knife arm, while I aggressively chopped up meat.

With dinner and dishwashing done, we moved onto the next part, the test of courage that Blue-cat-girl told us about during the day. They told us about what we would do: Class B would hide out in the forest next to the path, and pairs from Class A would go through and would have to find tags with their names written on them. The "scarers" as Class B were called, weren't allowed to directly do anything. The Class that made the other one more scared (reviewed through pissed pants) would win. Again, like in every other exercise made by UA before this, we drew lots, and for the first time I wasn't alone, since five students were whisked away by Aizawa, to complete their extra studies. With the partner, I hit the jackpot, getting Fumikage.

And just as I thought that it's going to go well, black smoke started coming from the forest, signifying the arrival of trouble. Just great.

AN: I broke the Forest Training Arc into two parts, same as the Sports Festival, the next one will come shortly.

Also, Shigaraki doesn't appear at the start because killing him off so soon is way too brave, even for me. I mean, imagine: The MC's skin can decay all it wants, he can just rebuild it, and he wouldn't really care about civilian casualties if it meant getting rid of the enemy ringleader. (I know All for One is the true mastermind, but Shigaraki is his student.)
