Chapter 8: A Camping Tour


[5:00 AM]

Man I'm tired…

Strolling through the deep forest near U.A Academy in total darkness of where I only see the shimmers of the dawn sky rising above me. I am carrying my school bag on my back and my black boots stomping on the mucky road. The dirt path I walk leads to U.A Academy behind me and S.C.D campground in front of me. Of why I got up so early is because I need to submit my C.R.A card to the Gatekeeper in this densely forest I am in. Almost making me believe that the pine cone trees here can reach up to the heavens above me and felt this sudden tranquility within nature's floral. Staring at the tall trees, it does help me forget of the Terrorist Attack happen from yesterday and not letting fear overtake control of my emotions. Recalling one of Cole lessons that he taught me, saying my emotions will overtake my rational decisions and my Conduit powers will be uncontrollable if my emotions do control me to the extremes. But what about One For All? Does it require emotions in order for my Quirk side to work?

Also the second reason of why I am up this early in the morning is the Quirk Examinees aren't here to witness me that I'm at Conduit grounds to spark suspicion of who I am and most of the people who are awake this early are the Conduit Campers. Speaking of Campers, I saw them standing on the dirt path I am in that filled with tall evergreens everywhere.

In front of me, I saw a white-blue bus with bold black words inscribed at each side of the giant transport vehicle which says S.C.D. Stepping out of the bus are kids that appear to be in my age and all of them are wearing their S.C.D camper uniforms including the white cloak they are wearing. Luckily for me, I am wearing my camper uniform and my black hiking boots stomping on the dirt path.

Of where they are heading, I saw a tall wooden fenced wall that closely reach the pine trees and stretches far wide around the campground. The gate is being guarded by a single woman at the archway entrance where my peers are passing by. So going inside the crowd of Conduit Campers to blend in, I heard a group of Campers coming behind me and they made…a rather interesting conversation.

"So I watched a show that is perfectly made for hardcore Weeaboos that Chel showed me called Boku and I was like: yooooooo, what the fuck? Then I continued and I was like YOOOOOO! Then that motherfucking kid got his nuts busted by a five year old and then I said-!" I felt someone bumped into me and I turn around to see a green haired man with brown eyes staring down at me. Following behind him are two campers. One who is very tall and somehow made the air extremely hot. The other who looks like a girl under the hood is giving me the cold shoulders, literally. On their emblem shoulders, all of them have Star-Spangled Banner Flags meaning they are Americans. For the guy who bumped into me spoke in an unhealthy toxic voice, shouting racist slurs at me and giving out a slight Boston accent.

"Watch where you going Jap. Before you can moon speak to us, I'll-!" Before he can say anything rude to me, I heard the tall guy who looks quite Hawaiian, kindly interrupted him warmly and spoke in a tropical islander accent. Weirdly enough, I felt something off about him that rubbed me the wrong way. The way he speak sounds very...well, more like an act and holding back something in him. Like he's about to burst in any second.

"Hey, aren't you being quite harsh on this Japanese fellow Marvin? I know you're not in a good mood of what Chel over here showed you. But can you take it easy on your poisonous tone to him on letting your frustration out?" Pointed to the girl besides him, she mischievously grins at the person name Marvin. Wait, this toxic guy name is Marvin?

"Shut up Clive! I am still not done erasing that Japanese propaganda seared into my mind on sterilizing our Conduit kind by using this so called anime! Better yet, using their own Chinese cartoon to sterilize their own population to nonexistence!" Okay, this guy name Marvin is being a real asshole to me and having the same attitude as Kacchan but more obnoxiously toxic. Looking back at the tall tannish Hawaiian person, his frizzy black hair tied in a ponytail and his golden-orange eyes still stare at him warmly. Maintaining his stoic posture and trying to convince Marvin to calm him down.

"Hey, take it easy brother. I am not forcing you to do anything. I'm just saying don't let Chel get into your nerves." As the Hawaiian guy name Clive try to reason with Marvin. The girl then lowered her hood to reveal she has brown hair with a streak of white coming down at her bangs. Over her head, she is wearing a white beanie that has a white antenna prodding out and a small orb hanging.

"Yeah Marvin, listen to Clive over there who's protecting me while you start calling everyone a faggot ya' Boston Pollack dum-dum! How about you stop your constant red pilling from a certain politically incorrect board and your stupid frogs for once? "As her icy-white eyes stare at her two fellow campers with cold calculation and a twisted smile. She starts to jeer and clapping her pale hands to instigate Marvin's temper even more. Simply because he is from Boston as she mockingly mimic his accent, giving a hint that she loves people bantering over the smallest things in life.

"Chel, shut the fuck up! Clive, get your passive-aggressive attitude away from me and the Japanese kid who I bumped into. Go fuck yourself!" Toxically yelling at me, he went pass by me with no hesitation and the girl name Chel runs over to him to insult him more. Looking back at Clive, he just shrugs at their antics and follow them before they can do anything stupid.

That…was weird.

Shrugging off my opinions on those three camper misfits, I walk over to the person who's guarding the wide archway entrance that carved like the mouth of Arc de Triomphe. A black lady who looks like in her mid-twenties has her brown pony-tailed braided hair reach to mid-spine area. Her brown eyes lazily observe the many kids that pass by her. Of what she is wearing, she has the same clothing like the campers. As she holds a badge of S.C.D at her left breast and a Kenyan flag imprinted on her right shoulder, instead of hiking boots, she wears slick black combat boots. She was leaning on the wooden wall in boredom while she analyzed the many kids. Looking down at the card I was holding, I run up to the gatekeeper and presented her of my card.

"Um miss. I got recommended by an official member of S.C.D. Can you submit my card so I wouldn't do the camper initiate test?" Presenting her of my card in my hands, her eyes narrow at my card and the Kenyan lady then calmly gave me a shrug.

"Why are you giving me the card boy? Go follow your peers and you will find the person where you can submit your card at. Not me, I'm just a friendly gatekeeper to guard this place of undesirables who might trespass here." Pointing her left index finger of where my camper peers are heading to. I heed her advice and continue walking the dirt path while following the Conduit campers.

Endlessly walking on the dirt path and felt the cold breeze blowing on my shoulders. The evergreen trees were swaying slightly by the wind. When we continue to walk, I notice something at the distance below us. Looking closely, it is the campground and holly molly it is huge!

Observing the campground to see what it looks like below me of this hilltop slope I am on. At the far right, I saw the biggest lake that S.C.D ever made with many etched wooden canoes stack in rows at the lakeshore. The lake appears to be very deep that it can shallow you to whole if you dive inside there and the blue watery surface looks quite peaceful in spite of its large appearance. Speaking of lake, I saw kids literally dashing on water and moving in unimaginable speed that my eyes can't catch them when their feet are splashing around.

At the center are the many recreational facilities and games are station at. I saw a wooden indoor mess hall with a lot of Native American carvings on it including two totem poles standing at the entrance. For I see kids eating their early breakfast in the morning inside at the windows and seeing them chattering about. Nearby the mess hall is a wooden stage, where a Chinese looking guy who is standing on the stage is doing perfected tai chi while the kids below him mimicking his posture moves as he moves in perfect tranquility. Oddly enough, I can feel the gravity below me got lighter when I saw him.

Onward, I saw a glass transparent dome arena. Where I see stack of boxes and a big red x circle painted on the floor, watching four groups of kids fighting each other in two teams. Hiding behind improvise walls and each four of them are wearing different color bandanas on their necks. One of team is holding a bomb infuse with a Blast Shard inside as he place the bomb on the x mark. So ignoring the game they were playing, I saw an obstacle course where tall, slick yet fake buildings that reach to the skies to see campers jumping over them. Where Conduit Campers are racing each other of how fast they can outrun from climbing to running. As the fake buildings also count as an extreme version of rock climbing without safety gear protection since you know…Conduits are immune to fall damage and such.

There are so many buildings that I can't even count of how many there are. Where I saw a sleek, white two-floored Internet Café building where Video Powered Conduits are hanging out with other Conduit Campers doing variety of things in the Internet. A huge red brick mural wall where I see Neon Powered Conduits doing awesome artwork on it and other Conduits doing creative things with their powers…or spray cans. A pretty wide Greek architecture design pantheon building where it is made of white stone and marbles, simply labeled atop of the oak twin door entrance as the library in Greek fonts which is hard for me to read the letters to do its scratchy like appearance.

Looking farther west from here, my eyes witness tall, white and futuristic skyscrapers at the very left side of the camp. So slick and curvy, my eyes can't stop staring at the abstract structure. Before I get lost from staring at them, I saw four of them are built and below them is a wooden arch entrance sign. As the sign hanging atop of the archway says cabins…cabins. Which the sign is telling me those tall, rich looking buildings are apartments for campers to sleep in?!

But the last building that really strike me is at far distance on the northern area, for I saw a colossal like steel antenna tower holding a giant blue glowing crystal that's humming with life. Looking closely, it looks like a glorified version of the magnet that All-Might gave me to avoid the Blood Brotherhood's leader's mind reading powers. Could it be the one that's protecting the camp and the school from the terrorist leader's mind powers?

Taking in the vast campground field I saw within the densely forest area right next to the neighboring U.A Academy behind us. I don't know how long or how much money the S.C.D spends to build this gigantic place. But it sure is beautiful and sophisticated of what I see before me.

Continue walking on the trail as we are still in the densely part of the forest of this slope we are on and not getting distracted of how humongous this place is. I notice a large field of brightly colored flowers growing at the edge of the forest I am standing at, as the flower field itself look well-tended by someone's hands. Of who's tending it, I saw a little girl who appears to be six, picking and nurturing the flowers on the ground within the densely forest we're in.

Looking closely at the girl, she has slight reddish hue on her skin and straight, short brown hair reaching at her shoulders. As her grey eyes stare at the flower in calmness and her tiny hands stroking the purple petals of the plant. Her jean shorts are kneeling to the ground and her small, green apron is covered in dirt. Her pink shirt is dirty but not as dirty as her apron.

Almost finish observing of who she is. Out of nowhere, her right palm glowed bright green and the flowers around her starts to grow bigger than before! As the plants were glowing in a greenish hue around them and humming in a soft buzzing noise as if they sounded like they were sentient. Is she like Kiko's mother who is a Biotic Conduit just like her?

While I was staring at her in shock of what she just did, the little girl notice my presence and her eyes widen in surprise. Shortly after she got up and standing on her feet, I look down to see her pink sneakers are covered in dirt and the grass near her legs starts to grow taller than before. For I heard her small squeaky voice spoke to me in curiosity of why I am staring at her.

"Oh! I didn't see you there Mr. Camper! I am Stacy by the way or the people around here call me Piper for some weird reason. But you can call me Piper or Stacy either way if you want. I sometimes garden here on this patch I am on and I heard the flowers calling out to me that you're staring at me weirdly. So why are you looking at Mr…" As she's trying to figure out my name, I respectfully told her of what mine is since she blatantly told me hers to a random stranger.

"Izuku. Izuku Midoriya or you can call me Deku if you want." Rubbing her own chin softly and thinking of her opinions about me. She bluntly speak out of what she feels about me.

"Are you some kind of creepy pedophile to watch a random little girl who's tending her flowers? What kind of sicko are you?" Wait-what?! Where did he get that idea and aren't you a bit too young to say those vulgar things to me!? Fully throwing me off-guard by her comment, I just nervously wave my hands I am nothing like that at all!

"Hold on a sec! Where did you get that idea and why do you think I am a freaking pedophile in the first place!" Defending my dignity to her that I am no child molester since I am freaking fifteen! She casually rolled her eyes of my comment and reply back in a snarky manner.

"Well sorry Mr. Pedophile Deku. Why would the flowers keep telling me that you're eyeballing me weirdly like you want me to get on all fours and-" Okay, that does it! This is getting way too absurd and weird for me to comprehend of what she is saying!

"Hold the heck up! Aren't you a bit too young to say those things and who the hell is teaching you those kinds of language?!" Asking of where she learns those adult contents that a girl in her age shouldn't know about. She crossed her arms and scowling at me deeply.

"Well from my parents' lack of self-awareness of what's around me and the native flowers that are from your country keep telling me of how Japanese people are creepy pedophiles, duh." Okay, I now know you're really being an absolute jerk to me and straight up lying of what I am asking for. So I might as well continue on walking before she cleverly insult me-

"HIYA!" I was about to walk back the trail that leads onto the campground, instead a random stone pebble skyrocketed directly at my frontal skull and knocking me down to my feet, in addition giving a minor concussion from the intense force by the pebble's high velocity. Fortunately, my skull and brain didn't shatter to do my Conduit Gene toughening my bones but it is sure hurt like hell! But unfortunately, the mysterious kid then jumps into the air and strike down.

Before I can pick myself up of that surprise juvenile attack, a kid who appears to be six and who looks exactly like the girl but in a more masculine structure jump right on my chest! Could it be her twin brother or something?! Like come on already! I am just trying to make friends here, not enemies!

Coughing out when his left black sneaker shoe landed on the center of where my lungs are at. The boy scowls at me angrily and saw pair of stones hovering behind him. His blue T-shirt and camouflage shorts appear to be floating on its own.

"Get away from my sister you filthy molester, how about you say Uncle to me!" Oh you got to be freaking kidding me-

"Chad, Stacy! Both of you! That's enough! Chad, don't hurt the poor boy on the floor and get off of him this instance or your parents will hear from me of what you did here!" Heard a familiar cocky voice who spoke out to my ears in a heroic manner, I turn my head to see my old friend Williams in person! Although, why is here though and why is wearing a white scout including the uniform? Is he part of the staff that teaches the kids here?

Immediately looking back to Willy's green eyes in a stern glare at them and he looks quite old like he's in his start of his thirties now, the two kids immediately stop of what they are doing. Instantly start to apologize for hurting my pride and health of how they treated me so poorly, although their apology is rather poorly made.

"Sorry Mr. Izuku. I didn't know you were a friend of Scoutmaster Williams here. The plants here told me a really funny joke to pick on a person who's a native to this land and my dunce of a brother took my joke literally as he starts attacking you." The girl all of the sudden sounded she's insincere of what she is saying and heard a hint of mischief in her voice. I really don't buy her fake apology. As Williams-wait, did she say Scoutmaster?

Looking back at Williams, he sighed deeply of their shenanigans and putting on his leather ranger hat in all seriousness. Where I saw his scruffy blonde grown goatee blown in the winds and the air around us felt harsher than before, feeling the wind blowing directly at us in an abnormal rate. Like the wind is angry at the twins' mischief as our hair blown slightly backwards.

"Alright, alright! I'm sorry Deku, jeez! Why do you just kill the awesome mood for us Scoutmaster? We're about to pull a spectacular prank on him!" After Stacy is force to apologize to me, she returns back tending the flower field and the guy name Chad walks away as he's picking up random rocks on the ground as he's levitating them. What a bunch of strange kids I guess?

"Thanks for the save back there Willy. So what's up with those kids and where did they learn to be so vulgar to me?" Trying to ask where the twins came from. Willy pinch the bridge of his noes when I mention about the twins again and their devilry pranks.

"Oh don't mind the twins. They really love to pull pranks on unsuspected newbie campers and scare them to their knees till they start laughing. Of where they learn to be extremely delinquent, well let's just say blame it on a certain parent for their own mischievous behavior. Either that or randomly get Kancho up the rectum by them without you knowing they're using the forbidden technique." Yikes, hearing William explaining about the twins, what kind of a parent teach their kids to pull those well-crafted, sedulous yet so messed up pranks? Trying to figure out who are the twins' parents, I remember that I need to submit card before the U.A practical exam starts!

"Hey Williams, can you submit my C.R.A card since I got recommended by a S.C.D official? I'm kind of lost of what I should do with this card?" When he spotted my card in my hands, his mouth grin brightly and excitedly patted on my shoulder of me getting this card for earning this special accomplishment. He is even surprise that I got a recommendation out of nowhere in the first place.

"Well hot damn! I didn't know you were being trained by an S.C.D official and testing if you can do it! Unfortunately, I can't take in cards right now kid. First we must do the C.R.A ceremony at camp stage where Mr. Zhongli is training the kids in Tai Chi. As this ceremony is extremely sacred for all new campers if they worthy to join here in camp. So you can get your personal sash badge afterwards!" Williams's voice shifted from total serious at the beginning to utter playfulness tone at the end. Giving me the feeling he likes to tease people occasionally by his cheerful nature. For which his teeth is giving out a heavenly smile to me.

"Anyway, let's head to camp and start the ceremony." Patting my back and walking down the slope path. I followed behind him and catching up with the other Conduit campers who are already at the center of the campground since the twins were distracting me.

Reaching at the end of the grassy hill slope, I saw a large portion of campers going somewhere while the other remaining campers are standing near the wooden stage area which the guy who looks Chinese finish doing his Tai Chi session as he's standing next to Williams. For the tall Chinese guy though, his skin is extremely tan like he's been out a lot in the sun and not wearing a Scout Uniform. Instead he is wearing a simple red muscle shirt to show his refined abs and black skintight pants to stretch his legs. He's barefooted and I look up to his face to see he has a well groomed goatee. Mostly of what catches my interest is that his eyes are being covered in white bandages wrapped around his shaved head.

"So these are the campers who have been accepted in C.R.A right Scoutmaster?" The Chinese guy, again whose eyes are being wrapped by his white bandage, spoke in a deep voice including a slight accent then nudged at Willy's left shoulder by using his elbow, making William sigh from his blunt statement.

"Yes Zhongli. These are the kids who pass the C.R.A training course. Anyways, let's start this ceremony. Amser and Blaine, can you come out now guys with their gear?" Calling out his two friends in a louder tone, the wooden mess hall at our left side suddenly opens up to see two familiar Conduits who are in their start of their thirties. But for Amser, her youthful appearance didn't change at all and she looks exactly like the same age when I was little. Forgot of what I said earlier that both of them are in their thirties. In my eyes, she appears to be still in her early twenties like she didn't age a bit!

For Blaine though, his appearance is revealed to me than his hoodie that's constantly being covered in total darkness. He is Hispanic and his tan skin is riddled with tattoos that are associated with death like skulls, cross and scythes on his arms. His chin is perfectly shaved and his brown eyes are being covered by black bangs of his unkempt hair. On his Scout Uniform shoulder emblem, he has the flag of Mexico which the red, white and green stripes adorn down including a brown bird holding a snake in the center.

Both of them are wearing Scout Uniforms. Although for Amser again, she is carrying her pair of M9s on her leather shoulder holsters and her grey hair is braided in a ponytail as it reached to her lower spine. Plus I think I saw something poking out on her thighs on her white shorts. They look solid and resembled knife pouches? Hold up, could she be like the maid character from Touhou with her knifes? Speaking of Touhou, I heard my Conduit peers whispering among themselves when they saw Amser.

"She looks quite like Lara Croft am I right?"

"Hell no, she looks like Sakuya Izayoi except she looks tired."

"She looks quite hot. If she wears a maid outfit and cosplaying as Lara Croft, I'll get a boner here!"

"Does she get mad if I say pad?"

"Is she a fan girl of the Uncharted Books?"

"Hey! I think I know her! I heard rumors that she works alongside with a scruffy U.A teacher who is also tired like her on hunting terrorists."

"Why do people always presume me that I'm some kind of a nerd and a video game character all of the sudden?" Hearing her quiet yet tired voice with her lips wiggle in contempt, she later sigh heavily while her baggy eyes confuse of what my peers are talking about, questioning why people think she is the Sakuya Izayoi. I'll tell you why. She has gray hair, can manipulate time whatever she wants and carrying bunch of knifes on her thighs. If she wears a maid outfit, everyone will start fan raving here and probably make old man ZUN get a heart attack from seeing his creation come to life…or getting a liver failure of consistently drinking beer all the time.

"Because your graying old hair, hiding bunch of knifes in your thighs and controlling time doesn't give away you are a Touhou character?" Heard Blaine spoke but this time his voice isn't raspy when I first heard him. His voice is giving out an accent and pretty much disinterest of what's happening around him. When he mentioned about her hair, did he mean her hair is actually grey and not dyed at all?

"Come on guys, let's do the ceremony presentation and start this thing already. Zhongli, would you mind?" The Chinese instructor name Zhongli grinned at Scoutmaster Williams's request. He softly stomps on the ground, feeling the gravity and weight on my soles become lighter out of nowhere. When his feet landed on the ground, Amser and Blaine quickly run back to the mess hall, retrieving a steel white podium on their arms when they exited out the doors this time.

Carefully walking up the wooden stairs of the outdoor stage, they place down the steel podium with a microphone attached to it and walk back down from the stage area. I heard William softly clearing out his throat and preparing his grand speech for us.

Stepping on the stairs and hearing the creaking noises from the wooden floor. He stood in front of the podium and let out a strong, mighty voice on the microphone to tell the new campers that he is the Scoutmaster here. For his hat tilted down and letting out an aura of seriousness enveloped him.

"Welcome to S.C.D campground or its official name Elpida. I am Williams Circios, your Scoutmaster. As I'll lead you kids to become official members within the S.C.D circle. For your Conduit powers hold great power, but unfortunately, great power can corrupt the minds of individuals from our primal sins. In which we present you campers with this." Snapping his fingers, Amser brought up a white plastic bag in her hands in thin air. Remembering she can stop time and grabbing the bag inside the mess hall. Snatching one out of the bag, I saw a badge with two headed birds and their wings sticking out, where the bird on the left is pure white while the other on the right is pure red, showing some kind of symbolic duality meaning of its design.

"This badge here is your moral compass and updated version of the karmic meter to track your electric neurons of what you're feeling. For our Conduit genes can change our nervous system and how our brain function drastically by our simple decisions we made. Where a person who is sadistic and no tolerance for others suddenly becomes a kind person towards everyone, where a man who helps the community as a whole suddenly destroys his home in pure uncontrolled rage. It is our karmic decisions that affect us of what we think of others and how our brain cells improve or deteriorates tremendously. I'll show what my morality is in an example." Placing the badge on his chest, the badge instantly came to life as the meter on the left glowed whiter and the red on the left faded away. When the red is fully gone, the wings shoot upwards and the head on the right retracts down on the badge, showing the S.C.D symbol on his chest.

"My neurons in my body are calm, my cells are healthy and my mind is fully clear. In the face of fear and uncertainty, I'll still hold the four cardinal virtues and take responsibility of my actions. Like a certain Spider-Man's uncle once said: with great power comes great responsibility. As our decisions again, affects our judgment." As William spoke calmly and strongly in the microphone, the campers around me begin whispering to themselves in consideration of what Willy said to them.

"Like the Brotherhood. They are gone far south of their decisions they made and doing…terrible things for both men, Quirk and Conduits alike. Of what they did around the world and their bombing here at Tokyo is to spark absolute terror on the residents." The air around become grim and all the S.C.D members lowered their head in shame. Even all the new campers here lowered their heads in despair and I felt the same way when the Brotherhood bombed a Pro Hero Agency building from yesterday. As the official death toll statistic from the police department said its around eighty five people are killed off by the bomb.

"Don't let the Brotherhood bring you down because they bomb a facility. We need to show resolve of our cause for equality that we are not some blood thirsty monsters who loves to enjoy killing others to get the message out. You are all here in camp to show resolve and preserving the lives of others in the face of danger. We can stop the terror that the Brotherhood has been causing and show what Conduits can do to this world for the greater good of humanity, showing our virtues and deeds in the epitome of aspiration." A sense of hope surges through my body and the campers around me showing absolute resolve. Determine and taking serious of the camp we are in now. As we're going to help people and stopping fear taking over humanity's thoughts. For our cause is resolution than a conviction. As both of the Brotherhood's and S.C.D's ideals revolve around of what they do with their powers for the betterment of Conduits as a whole. Help humanity in kindness or destroy them out of hatred.

"Don't look at the past or future for ideals as our kind is despised by both men and Quirks alike. Look at the present of what should we do and remain stoic in the sea of sins. It doesn't hurt to learn from the past or looking forward to the ideal future. But we are humans and humans can affect the present of what we simply do by our smallest decisions either out of rational or irrational thoughts. That is all." The campers around me and I felt strong resolution from his speech. Determine on using my Conduit powers to assist others in need.

When Williams left the podium, Amser and Blaine begin to hand out our karmic badges including a blue sash to us recommend campers. When Amser handed my badge and my sash to me, I grab hold of them.

Placing the karmic badge on my leather colored sash, I place my sash on my right shoulder and the badge itself is starting to react immediately when it is place near to my chest. Which the badge stretch its wings and the right head begin to retract down. As my badge is glowing pure white while the other campers around me have their badge glowing white at the left side while retaining some of the red.

"Huh? Looks like your badge says that you are completely good, I think you got a great resolve in you kid to earn that highest moral standing." Looking behind me, I saw Cole MacGrath standing next to me and now wearing the S.C.D Scout Uniform instead of wearing his old Kessler outfit. Seeing him dress in the Scout Uniform, could it be he's part of the S.C.D staff here as well?

When Cole appeared besides me, the kids who are in my age begin to whisper to themselves again.

"Hey, is that Cole MacGrath? The Symbol of Hope and the friend of All-Might?"

"Holy shit! It is Cole MacGrath! I heard awesome stories of him back at New Empire City of how he defeated the Beast and epically fight alongside with the Symbol of Peace!"

"Man he is cool and he is working here at this very camp!"

Heard the many Conduit Campers spoke positively about him and excitedly whisper from seeing him in the open. I heard him cough a little hard from his throat but he later spoke calmly among us.

"Alright kids. It is time to submit your C.R.A cards while the Camper Initiates are doing something rather interesting of where they went. It is a surprise for them and it is involve interacting with the Quirk U.A Examinees. So let's go to the mess hall and enter your cards that you kids are acceptable here to train with us." I watch him walking to the giant mess hall. Everybody else follows him including me to the wooden building with decorative Native American markings all over the building.

Walking towards the mess hall and getting inside the wooden door entrance. I took in everything of what I saw around me. As the mess hall inside is huge with the many refine wooden tables scattered across this place. Where I saw decorations after decorations like the blue banners of the S.C.D white bird, mounted animal heads scattered across the walls and a wide, marbled fireplace to feel the warm embers to heat up this facility in the cold month of February.

Smelling the pleasantly rich aroma in the air of cooked breakfast meals, the scent leads to a large grey cafeteria that stretches across here like a tennis court with many different varieties of international foods being prepared inside as I spotted the many chefs going around their business by the clock. Heck, we even have white, fancy chandeliers hanging on the ceiling. Seeing the entire vibrant mess hall within my eyes, it gives me the impression that this mess hall means fancy business.

The campers who are sitting on the tables look quite older than me as they are munching up their breakfast meals on their metal trays in the early of the morning. But I ignored them and continue following Cole till he stops to an odd machine that hung on the oak wall at the right side of here.

Staring at the white, square machine in wonder of what it is. It looks like once of those A.T.M machines at first sight with a touch screen and a card slot next to it. For the said the said screen, it is showing the S.C.D logo on it and key number pad on the bottom, right side of the screen. Atop of the screen, there is a camera lens attached to this machine. Perhaps taking picture of us to go alongside validating our cards to identify of who we are…I think?

"Alright everyone, this here card machine will identify of who you are in this camp. Think of it like your Social Security but more advanced. It will start reading your card and then later take a picture of you. As this machine will authorize that you are a camper here, giving you a full access to any building that you desire except for the S.C.D staff member facilities. After that, your card will be gone and you are done." Seeing I am the first one in the line. I go forward to it and pull out my card.

Inserting the card on the slot, I look back at the screen to see it wants my date of birth. So touching the screen on the number pad, I type in my date of birth and press enter. Shortly after I hit enter, the screen then changes and wants me to enter my name in English letters or a button below which says language preference. But knowing I have full comprehension on the English language to do Cole's memories affecting my mind. I fully understand and comprehend English to the most basic levels to advance forms of writing or reading. There's no need to change my language as I can either read Japanese or English in a whim.

"Hey mate, can you move your bloody arse faster with the machine because my parents are at the lakeshore who're waiting for me and I need to get some grub for breakfast already. I don't want to miss my swimming lessons for Christ's sake." Heard a girl who spoke in a heavy English accent behind me, I turn around to see she's taller than me. Wearing a visor black sunglasses over her eyes, a sandy tan colored beret over her brown braided pony-tailed hair and looking down at her right shoulder of her S.C.D camper uniform. Her national flag is the Union Jack which instantly means she's from Britain. Looking up to her face, her lips are creeping at me in annoyance that I am halting the line. Jeez, is she really that impatient?

Ignoring the British girl's trivia demands, I type my name on the screen. Pressing enter again, the screen then changes to show me an index finger scanner. Reading the lengthy description on the top right of the screen, it says to insert my index while staring at the camera when I'm doing it, so pressing my index on the scanner and looking at the lens at the same time. I heard a snap from the identification machine and I look down to say I am finish. With that, my card is gone from existence. Stepping away from the machine, the girl who is behind me on the line proceed to do the same like me.

"Alright kid, you are now an official camper here. So what's the time now Izuku?" Looking up to see Williams who is oddly enough the Scoutmaster here which it's pretty much a surprise for me. I smiled at him and glad that I am part of here.

"Well the time says in phone is-it almost near eight o' clock!? Oh no, I am going to be late!" Grabbing my phone on my left pocket, I look at time in my phone which it says 8:20 AM! I started to panic when I remember that my orientation starts at 8:40 AM and that's going to be a long walk away from here! Unfortunately when I shouted out inside the mess hall, the campers around me and the older teens who are scarfing down their meals stare at me weirdly of why I shouted out like that.

"I um, I mean I need to find a bathroom!" Rationally trying to formulate an excuse to my peers, it's a rather a poor excuse I just made up in my mind. Luckily for me, the Campers who are looking at me just rolled their eyes of my dumb statement I made and proceed on doing their daily activity, almost dodging a bullet for my self-esteem. But that's not all, I heard William softly chuckle behind me, gently patted on my left shoulder and casually walks away to the twin wooden doors while his left arm gesture me to follow him subtly. Seeing he wants me to follow him, I happily obliged to the Scoutmaster's gestures.

Walking out from the mess hall and into the vast campground again, I saw Williams heading to the deeper part of the camp where building structures surrounded him. Following him yet again, he then stopped when he reach to the outdoor restrooms. As the building itself is wooden and saw two entrances. Where the one on the left is for the boys and the one on the right is for the girls. Hold on, I didn't mean it literally but why are we here?

"Go get dress in your school uniform and then we talk." Nudging his head to the bathrooms, I nodded to him and headed to the boys room. Opening up my bag, I unbutton my uniform and folded it up in a neat stack. Placing the shirt on the sink counter, I strip my shorts and my cloak while folding them up. As for the restroom inside, this place is dimly lit from a single light panel above me like it's a perfect area for a horror story to take place, black toilet stalls behind me that appear to be very tidy and orderly which is pretty much a higher standard than a public restrooms I usually go to in fast food joints. Then finally, a wide mirror with five sinks on the black marble counter of this white tiled room I am in.

When my camper outfit is neatly folded up, I am currently stripped naked except for my All-Might underwear and lightning socks on my feet. I retrieve my black School Uniform from my school bag and start getting dress.

Buttoning up my uniform and putting on my red shoes. I got fully dress and hurry out that I am going to miss my orientation! So placing my Scout Uniform in my backpack and carrying it behind my back, I run out of the bathroom entrance to encounter Willy again as he tapped his foot in patience.

"You are already done. Well, let start on of what Cole teaches you. Do you remember your final mental training with him? Do that thing but concentrate more on it of what you want." Remembering my mental training, how does it involve on arriving my exam-hold on! Don't you mean using my teleportation ability I just now have?

"Wait, you mean my teleportation ability I used?" Trying to figure out what William implying on about, he rub his head in annoyance when I mention my ability is teleportation.

"Well let's not say its teleportation kid. It's more like fast travel ability since you will be literally made out of your aspect power and moving extremely fast over there than spontaneously pop out of nowhere. So do it, try it out." Suggesting of what I should do if I want to catch up to my practical exam on time. I concentrated my mind and focus of where should I go. Closing my eyes, I think about the entrance at U.A Academy and over the bushes so no one can-*ZAP!*

Opening my eyes, I landed my body on the grassy ground and over the hedges of U.A's bushes. Which I heard the many footsteps at the stone floor beside me at my right. Man, I never get use to that ability I just now learned!

Getting up and stepping out of the bushes. I saw the many U.A Examinees walking to the entrance of U.A Academy. Not noticing I was over at the bushes out of nowhere, I walk coolly like I arrived here and not knowing that I went to S.C.D campground: Elpida.

U.A Academy, here I come!
