Kamiko made her bed while the others were unpacking their things. "Hey, Yosai-San?" the young Goddess asked, watching the short teen fly up to his bunk. "Yes?" the orange-haired boy asked curiously. "I just wanted to say that I'm glad to not be the only one around with a wing Quirk. I've never met any other kids who had one. And, I know about Hawks, but he doesn't really have "wing wings". They're made up of individual feathers that he can control remotely, and, um- I-I'm going to stop talking now. Sorry, I only really have the one friend, and most kids at my School don't like me, so, I-I've never really talked to many people my age before" the Goddess rambled, before stopping herself and flushing in embarrassment. 'Damn it, I'm trying to make friends here, not freak everyone out! Gah!' she thought. Yosai smiled, "we're going to be a group for a whole month, I think we can skip the formalities, if that's okay with you, Kamiko?" he asked.
"Oh, uh, okay, Yosai" Kamiko replied, playing with her hair. It had now grown down to her waist. "Yes, I agree. I'm actually looking forward to spending some time with other girls my age. Back home it's just my Father and myself, which can get a little boring. After all, most children my age don't want to spend time with someone who looks like a toddler" Shiori added onto the conversation. "Oh, um, no offense, but how old are you Shiori-Chan?" Chiko asked. "I'm 14, part of my Quirk, or one of them, you could say, caused me to stop aging physically once it activated at age 4" the indigo-haired teen replied. "Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh! You're seriously the same age as us?! I-I-I-I'm so sorry!" Chiko bowed frantically in apology. Shiori held up her hand, "it's fine, you all know now, so please- just treat me as a friend, okay?" she asked with a smile at the end. Kamiko smiled at the interaction, then turned her attention to Yosai, "so, you said that you and Chiko are Foster Siblings?" she asked curiously. The green-haired teen nodded, still clutching his pillow, "that's right, it's, a bit hard to explain, but basically, I got lost one time when I was little, and she found me and helped me.
Her family wasn't nice to her, but when they found out about me, they did end up helping me get home. That was when I was 9 years old. 2 years later, my Aunt, who my little sister and I live with, decided to Foster a child, and we found Chiko. I remembered her, and asked my Aunt Chihiro to Foster her, because of how nice she was to me when I was younger. She's been a part of our family ever since" he explained. "Wow, it was lucky for her that you guys found her then, huh?" the Goddess replied with a smile. "Yeah, it was" the boy said happily. "Okay everyone, it's time to show you all around!" Yukio called, as children started leaving their tents. The Purple tent group pulled their shoes back on and went to catch up with the others. The two Councillors took the group out to the forest, "so, my name is Shiro, and first we're going to do a range of activities revolving around your Quirks, so we can find out any problems you might have that you need to work on, alright?" the woman asked.
"First is manoeuvring through the forest" she said. Many of the teens looked confused at the activity they would be doing. A red-haired teen with large muscles raised his hand. "Yes?" Shiro asked, pointing to him. "How would moving through the trees help with our Quirks?" he asked haughtily. "A good question. What is your name young man?" Yukio asked. "Taiyo Kuma. Taiyo is my first name." Kuma said. The young man nodded at him, "Kuma-Kun. Pretty much all Hero activity occurs in the city, and being able to manoeuvre in a close environment is essential for Hero's. Especially for those with a Quirk that allows them to become larger, such as Mount Lady" the man explained. Chiko smiled and nodded. "So, we will go one at a time, how about you first, Hiro-Kun?" Shiro suggested. The ice-blue-haired teenager looked nervous, but the white-haired young boy that looked like a 4-year-old squeezed his hand in reassurance. The tall teenager grimaced and stepped forwards, "okay, I'll try" he said. Getting into position to run, Hiro waited until Shiro said to go, before he shot off running. He ran through the trees, climbing over them when he had to, crawling under branches, leaping over rocks and across a stream, before he made it back to the others.
Kai panted as he slowed to a stop. "Pretty good, you got 15 minutes. Next, how about you Itsuna-Chan". The young Goddess walked up to the starting line. "Ready- and go!" the woman called. Kamiko spread her wings and flew over the trees in a circuit, before flying back to the others and landing again. "Of course, I suppose you would just fly over the buildings to get to where you needed to go" Shiro nodded. "Okay, Kisa-Chan-" Shiro invited. Chiko moved away from the others. Then took a deep breath and slowly began to increase her size. Finally she stopped when she was about the height of the trees. "Woah" many people muttered, making the girl hide her face with one of her twin tails in nervousness. "Okay, you can go now. Try to be careful of the trees and animals underfoot, okay?" Yukio reminded. The giant girl nodded, before beginning to walk forwards into the forest. As she did, she knocked a tree over with her shoulder.
"Ah! Oh no!" she cried, worried. "Don't worry about it! Just do your best Chiko!" Yosai called. "Right!" the white-haired girl replied. She moved carefully through the forest, keeping an eye on her feet as she went. She thankfully managed to avoid all the animals underfoot, and only knocked over a few more trees. She stepped over the river, picked her way through the rest of the forest and stopped before the group again, letting out a sigh. "I know I didn't do a good job. I broke a bunch of trees" Chiko said sadly. "No, it's alright. You'll get better eventually, that's what this activity is for. Don't worry Kisa-Chan, just take your time" Counsellor Yukio reassured her. "Okay, next!" Shiro called.

After they'd finished that activity, it was lunchtime. "Alright everyone, today's menu is chicken noodle stir-fry with pork dumplings for lunch" Yukio said. Everyone moved to the dining hall to wash up and get ready for lunch. Kamiko smiled reassuringly at Chiko, who was still upset and was being comforted by Yosai. "They said it wasn't that bad. You just need a little more practice, that's all" the green-haired teen soothed. "I know, I just- *sigh* I just want to be a Hero too" she said. "You can be a Hero Chiko. Like I said, you just need to practice more, that's why we're here at this camp" Yosai said. "We all need and want to improve ourselves and our Quirks before we try to become Hero's. And we can. As long as we let ourselves try" Kamiko agreed. The white-haired teenager sighed and looked up, "okay. I'll try harder" she said.
As everyone was eating, the young Goddess smiled at her new friends. Or at least she hoped they were now friends. "Hey, so do you have anything that you need to work on Kamiko?" Shiori asked. "Oh, well, I would like to improve the energy-based aspect of my Quirk. I can use it to heal myself and others, but I would like to be better at that than I am right now" the black-haired girl said. "I'm not really sure what I should work on. My Quirk, well- let's just say I have a lot of options to work with" Shiori said. "Okay, well, how about one of the things you can do?" Chiko asked, "well, I have telekinesis, energy-based powers, and probably about a hundred other things that I can't even describe." The indigo-haired child explained. "Okay, well, let's work with the basics first then, okay?" Kamiko said with a smile. "I have telekinesis as well, and can transform objects, which I normally use on my pillow," Yosai squeezed the blue pillow close, "I can turn it into different things, including weapons" he explained. "Sounds cool" the Goddess said with a smile.
She turned to Kai, who was sitting with them, "and you?" she asked cheerfully. The ice-blue-haired boy looked down shyly, "I don't really want to talk about my Quirk, if that's okay" he replied. Chiko frowned at the teen, "are you okay?" she asked worriedly. But Kai retreated into himself, showing that he didn't want to talk about it. "Okay, you don't have to. For now let's eat, we have time to figure out how to work on our Quirks later" Yosai said. The group went on to eat their lunch with only light conversation after that.
