Chapter 33: The Forest Camp Training And a New Romance Blossoms!


"Now that you've finished up your first semester at UA High, It's time for summer vacation to officially begin." Aizawa said. "However… Don't think these will be months of rest for you Heroes-In-The-Making. At this camp, we'll push you to go beyond your limits. You're aiming to become "Plus Ultra!"."

I began laughing as Aizawa said; "Oh, I almost forgot how apparently, Adrian, has no limits to his Quirk so he's always aiming "Plus Ultra!"...".

Dad hits me on the head with a Karate Chop.

"I'll also be coming with you guys on your summer camp trip to make sure you boys don't slack off on your training!" Dad said.

"Oh great…" Tsuki said.

"Whoopee…" I said sarcastically before Dad hit me on the head again with another karate chop.

"We heard some of Class A is taking extra courses. Does that mean they actually failed the Final Exams?" The Monoma Twins said in unison. "That must be so embarrassing. Especially since you're supposed to be much better than our class. All of you must wallow in shame!".

Right as I was going to walk up and knock the Monoma twins out, Kendo knocked them out with a karate chop.

"Don't mind them!" Kendo says.

"Oh. The rest of Class B!" Izuku said in surprise.

"It's nice to see you all outside of the sports festival. I guess now we're not technically rivals." A girl from class B said.

"It's time to get on the bus." Kendo says before I heard the Iida twins say out loud; "Attention, Class A, our bus is here. Everyone, line up in seating order!"

"Here's the deal. We'll be on this bus about an hour before our first stop. Make sure you stay focused." Aizawa said as his sister continued to drive the bus.

After an hour on the bus, we finally made it to our first stop to where it didn't look like a stop and I noticed a black convertible.

"You don't really think we stopped here just so you could stretch your legs, do you?" Aizawa said.

The Black Convertible doors opened up as we heard; "Hey, Eraser!".

"Long time no see." Aizawa replied.

"Your feline fantasies are here. Say, "Meow."." One girl says as she pops out of the car.

"Purrfectly cute and cat-like girls!" Another said as she popped out of the car.

"One red and one blue cat. How nice." I thought.

"You can call us the Wild, Wild pussycats!" They said in unison as they both striked a pose.

"These are the Pro Heroes you'll be working with at the summer training camp." Aizawa says.

"We own this whole stretch of land out here." the red cat girl said. "Everything you can see. The Summer camp you're staying at is there at the base of the mountain. The current time is 9:30 in the morning. If you're fast about it, you might make it there by noon."

Everyone in class 1-A tried to run towards the bus as the red cat said. "Kitties who don't make it there by 12:30 won't get any lunch."

"You should have guessed, student. The training camp… has already begun." Aizawa said.

Me, Hikaru, Kin, Danuja, Tsuki, Akihiko and Homura all flew up into the air as the Blue cat girl pushed our class off of the area and into the forest.

"Good news! Since this is private land, you can use your quirks as much as you want to." The red cat girl said. "You've got three full hours. You should be able to make it to the facility at that time. That is, if you can get through the Beast's Forest."

"Hey! That was oddly rude of you to do that to my classmates!" I said as they looked up and noticed us flying in the air.

"They're all floating!... How are they doing that? Is it their quirks at work?!..." The red cat girl said out loud.

"That's partly correct. They all, except Homura, have a quirk that was passed down in their family from generation to generation. Their Quirk is called the Saiyan Quirk." Aizawa said. "Their quirk gives them various abilities such as SuperHuman Strength, Speed, Agility, Durability, Endurance, Senses, the natural ability to fly, and the ability to manipulate their energy to whatever they see fit…"

"This Quirk of theirs also allows them to transform while in battle. Their actual ability allows them to become stronger after recovering from a near-death experience, by facing great struggle in battle, and when they're enraged." Aizawa continued. "Their Quirk cannot be stolen nor copied by someone else. Their Quirk is bound by their blood. Their quirk is overpowered to the point that I can't erase it… Their Quirk is what made them destined to become Great Heroes…".

"Wisely said, Aizawa!" I said as I smirked in confidence. "Hey. Red Cat. What's your name?".

"I'm the Hero, Mandalay!" She said.

"And what's your name, Blue cat?" I asked her.

"I'm the Hero, Pixie-Bob!" She said in confidence.

"Hmph. I'll remember your names. Well, we'll go join our class now. See ya!" I said before we all dropped down into the forest.

As a whole class together, we all managed to get out of the forest at 5:20 PM.

Once we got a second to take a breather, Aizawa said; "Get your stuff off the bus. Once your bags are in your rooms, we'll have dinner in the cafeteria. After that, you can bathe and sleep. Tomorrow your training starts in earnest. You'd better get a move on."

After we ate until Our stomachs were full, we all went to take a bath. Mineta tried to climb up the wall and peek at the girls, but a kid named Kota stopped him as Mineta fell down to the floor.

After a few seconds, Kota fell, but I managed to catch him safely.

Me and Izuku took him to Mandalay as she said; "The rush from the fall likely caused him to faint. Thank you. Eraser warned me one of you boys was a little girl crazy, so I stationed Kota up there to keep watch."

"I suppose that's the danger of teaching kids your age." She said as she put a towel over Kota's Forehead.

"Well, anyway. I'm just glad he's all right." Izuku said.

"You must've moved pretty fast to catch him." Mandalay said.

"Oh, I didn't catch him! Tatsuya here did!" Izuku said. "I just helped Tatsuya find his way here."

"He doesn't like heroes as much, does he?" I asked.

"How observant. Of course, he isn't alone. There are many in our society who don't approve of us." Mandalay said. "If he had a normal childhood, maybe he would've admired Heroes like you two did growing up."

"What happened?" Izuku asked.

"It was Mandalay's cousins. Kota's parents, that is. They were Heroes too." Pixie-Bob said as she walked in the room. "But they were murdered."

"It was a villain. Two years back. Kota was still so small." Mandalay said. "They were killed while protecting citizens. Perhaps a respectful way for any hero to die. But… How do you even begin to explain to a child, that his parents died honorable deaths?".

"They were his entire world. Everything. But to him, his parents had left him behind. And all the while, they were being praised. Because… Their sacrifice was such a noble one." Mandalay said. "Honestly, he doesn't seem to like us that much either. We're heroes, like they were. I'm sure he feels like he's stuck here because he has nowhere else to go. Heroes just don't make sense to Kota. After all; if his parents hadn't been heroes, they would still be here."

I heard so many different people talking about Heroes over the last few months. I listen to so many viewpoints. It'll be irresponsible to shrug them off. And yet, at that moment, I had no reply.

It's the Next Morning at 5:30 AM, we are all outside waiting on Aizawa.

"Good Morning, Class. Today, we will begin your training camp that'll increase your strength." Aizawa said. "Our goal is to increase your skills exponentially so each of you earns a Provisional License. This will allow you to face the dangers that continue to fester in the darkness. Perceive carefully. Look alive, Katsuki. Try throwing that for me."

Aizawa threw a ball at Katsuki who caught it and said; "Yeah, sure. Like in the fitness tests."

"That's right. When we first started school, your record was 705.2 meters." Aizawa said. "Let's see if you improved."

"Oh! I get it! We're checking our progress!" Mina Ashido said.

"No one blink." Katsuki said before he threw the ball as he shouted out; "Go to Hell!!".

"That 709.6 meters." Aizawa said. "You had a single semester at UA. And due to your various experiences, all of you have definitely improved. But those improvements have mostly been limited to mental prowess and technical skills."

"With a slight increase in stamina throw. As you can see, your quirks themselves have not been improved on a fundamental level." Aizawa continued. "That's why we're now going to focus on improving your powers. This'll be so hard you'll feel like you're dying. Let's hope you all survive."

The moment everyone else started on their training, Dad appeared behind me and suggested how we should all go up against him. We all transformed into our strongest forms before we dashed towards Dad and began to fight against him like he suggested.

We all continued to fight against him with our strongest forms, but Dad was unfazed by our power and took us on like we were nothing!

Once Class B arrived, they all saw us get beaten up to a bloody pulp by my Dad…

"No no no! You guys are doing it all wrong!" Dad said. "You guys are supposed to fight me with everything you got! Not everything you have!".

"A-And… What's that supposed to mean?..." Hikaru asked as he struggled to stand back up.

"When training, you guys are supposed to find your own unique source of what you can call power!" Dad said. "Inside each and every one of you has a power that's completely different from your quirks. This unique power is well suited for you. This is a hidden power that dwells within you all. In all of you, there's a beast you must control. Once you control it, it'll bring out not just your hidden power, but also the True You!".

"The True Us?..." Hikaru questioned.

Without even thinking, I dashed towards Dad and he immediately knocked me out with a karate chop. Unconsciously, I stood back up and turned around to face my dad. The moment I opened my eyes and unleashed a massive amount of Blue Spiritual Power, I could feel how I was a completely different person than I was before!!...

The Blue Spiritual Power turned itself into a giant Ki hologram of a Dragon, surprising and shocking everyone at camp. Pixie-Bob's Scouter began going off like crazy as Pixie-Bob's eyes widened and she fell down onto her knees and began trembling.

"Pixie-Bob! What's wrong?!" Tiger asked.

"H-His power l-level… It's… It's… It's 2 Quadrillion…!!".

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY!!?" Everyone shouted out in surprise.

"Yes… That's it, Son! This is the unique power that dwells within Tatsuya!" Dad shouted. "This is what I was talking about! Now, Come on, Son! Give me everything you got!".

Me and Dad dashed towards each other and began to exchange blows from the ground up into the sky. Even though Pixie-Bob was trembling over the sight of our power, she managed to use her quirk so whenever we fight on the ground, we won't cause any destructive or massive damage.

We continued to fight all around the camp until Dad sent me flying with a kick. I struggled to stand back up as the others tried to attack my Dad, but they all ended up getting knocked out with a karate chop. They all stood back up and unleashed a massive amount of spiritual power as their power turned itself into beast-like holograms.

Hikaru's Beast was a Giant Fox, Tsuki's Beast was a wolf, Kin's Beast was a Great Ape, Danuja's Beast was a tiger, Akihiko's Beast was an Eagle, and Homura's Beast was a Flaming Phoenix!

"So this is what you were talking about… It Feels… I feel… Invincible!!" Hikaru said with an overjoyed facial expression. "With this power, I feel like I can do anything! Yes! Let's do this, guys!".

"Hold on, guys… Let's all fight together as one!" I said as I stood back up and unleashed a massive power of spiritual power.

"Their power levels all jumped up to 5 Quadrillion!!..." Pixie-Bob said in shock. "Wait!... Hold on… Tatsuya's power is steadily rising to 10 Quadrillion!!..."

"B-But how is that possible…?! No mere children could wield such powerful quirks…!!" Tiger said.

"Not unless it's Tatsuy and his friends. Ryuuji, Tatsuya's Dad, was known to be the Chosen One during his time, but now, it's Tatsuya's turn to be the Next Chosen One!" Izuki said. "Tatsuya is destined to become one of the greatest heroes of all time as well as his friends being destined to be his rivals and comrades!".

We all dashed towards my Dad and we all began to fight against him as Dad was still taking us on like we were nothing to him. We all continued to fight against Dad until he sent all of us flying with just a punch!

Right as I stood back up, I noticed Kin standing up before he then transformed into his Super Saiyan 3 Form and began to power up. Kin continued to power up until he then unleashed a massive amount of energy and awakened himself into his Super Saiyan 4 Form!

Right as Kin awakened his Super Saiyan 4 Form, I noticed Tsuki standing back up before he then transformed into his Super Saiyan 4 Evolved Form and began to power up as his God Ki began to leak out of his body. Tsuki's God Chi covered his entire body as he then transformed himself into a Super Saiyan God!

They both dashed towards Dad and began to fight against him until Dad sent them both flying with a punch again.

Right as Kin and Tsuki stood back up, we transformed into our strongest forms again, we dashed towards Dad, and began to fight him again. We all continued to fight against Dad until he sent us all flying with a punch again!

Right as we all got up and reverted back to our base forms, everyone began to give me their energy as my body unleashed a massive amount of power as a Giant Dragon Tattoo appeared on my back.

I began to unleash my newfound power out to its fullest as I combined it to my Chosen One; Spiritual Power, and Super Saiyan Blue Form!

Dad was surprised at first, but then he smirked and unleashed his Chi. We both took a stance, we dashed towards each other, and began to exchange blows. We exchanged blows from the ground all the way into the sky. We continued to exchange blows until I jumped back and unleashed my full power.

"His power level skyrocketed to 200 Quadrillion!!" Pixie-Bob shouted out in surprise.

"WHAT?!!" Everyone shouted out in surprise.

I dashed towards Dad and we went back to exchanging blows. We continued to exchange blows until I gutted Dad with an upper-punch, I landed an upper-cut, and then I sent my Dad flying with a Kick. Dad stopped himself in midair as I began to power up.

"It can't be… I can't read Tatsuya's Power level anymore…" Pixie-Bob said in shock as she fell to her knees.

"What?!! Impossible!!" Tiger said in shock.

I began to gather my energy as I began to form my energy blast as I chanted out; "God Ka… Me… Ha… Me…".

"Hrah!!" I shouted out as I fired off my God Kamehameha Blast at Dad.

Dad stopped my energy blast with only one hand and I began to struggle against him until I heard Izuki shout out; "Tatsuya! You can do it! Don't give up! I believe in you!".

"Tatsuya! Do it!!" I heard everyone shout out, cheering me on.

I pushed my blast to full power and Dad managed to stop my blast again with both of his hands until my blast suddenly disappeared as I heard my Dad say; "Cancel!".

Dad dashed towards me, Dad punched me in the face, he guts me with an upper-punch, and then knocked me out with a karate chop on my neck. Dad caught me and right as he floated us down onto the ground, he healed my wounds and I instantly woke up and jumped back for cautious possibilities.

Dad healed everyone else's wounds before he then said; "You all did well to bring out your hidden powers. Especially you, Tatsuya. You brought out more than I expected. You are my son, after all. Shall we continue training?".

We all trained rigorously until dinner time.

"Now. Remember what I said? We're not serving your food anymore!" Pixie-Bob said.

"If you guys want to eat, you'll have to make your own meals!" Ragdoll said. "Starting with curry!".

"Yes, Ma'am." we said.

"Oh, man, do you guys look exhausted!" Ragdoll said as she laughed. "But that doesn't mean you can coast by making sloppy cat food."

We all began cooking with the help of Class 1-B.

After we all ate, we all immediately went to the baths and then to bed. Except for Momo and Danuja…

Since I was still up, I went to go spy on them as I hid my Chi so Danuja couldn't sense me. Once I followed them completely, I began listening in on their conversation.

Momo was crying until Danuja found her and she said as she tried to wipe her tears away; "Hey, sorry, I didn't… I didn't want you to see me like this… Danuja…".

"Hey! What's wrong? Did someone hurt you?" Danuja said.

"I'm fine. I'm fine. Don't worry. I'm okay." Momo said, trying to hide her tears. "Just… Just some things are getting to me, you know?".

"Some things like what?" Danuja asked.

"Just… Do you ever feel like… The people you care about don't actually care about you? I mean…" She said, crying again. "I mean that… They only like you for what you have? I…It's not… I just heard like a few dumb kids, the other first years, asking me… Well, just talking about me. Saying that people only liked me because of my quirk and how I have money…".

"But I…I don't want that to be true… I want to believe that everyone that cares about me, cares about me and not for my money! But I've had people in my life, treated me that way and only saw my wealth as my worth. And I don't want that to happen again! I don't want the people who I love and who I care about now, only care about what's in my pockets…" She continued. "I don't want you to think that. I know you don't because you're kind and sweet to everyone, but I just… I can't stop thinking what if… What if everyone I love and care about only wants me for one thing, and that's for my money. Momo, can you buy me this? Sure, no problem. Momo, can you do this for me? Yes, of course. I will do anything for the people I love. Even if it means that I have to buy them everything in the world! But that doesn't mean that people should try and be my friend because I actually will…".

"I do anything for the people I care for. But people use me because of that. People say that I'm not good enough to be in UA because I got in by recommendation. People say I don't deserve a spot because of who my family is…" Momo continued. "I've worked just as hard as everyone else who wants to be a Hero! People don't understand that I've gone nights without sleep because of studying and training. I've gone so long from training that I can't even keep my eyes open anymore and they feel like sandpaper! I'm sick of people saying that I don't belong as a hero because of who I am! I'm sick of it. And I'm sick of being used for who I am!...".

Momo began sobbing as Danuja hugged her and tried to cheer her up.

Momo ignored what Danuja said as she said; "Just… I know you don't think… I know you don't think that, but I get scared. I get so scared. I just don't want to lose an amazing friend like you. The fact that I worry about what if my family goes broke tomorrow… I hate that I think… I hate that I have to think about who I would lose!... I hate it more than anything!"

"I don't want to lose Jiro. I don't want to use you, lose you. I don't want to lose any of my classmates at UA." She said, "I don't want to lose my friends. I won't… I know they're not like that! There's just this voice in my head that tells me that I'm wrong and that I should worry."

"There's always the little voice that makes me question everything." She said as Danuja saw doubt in her eyes.

"Well, you're wrong because I believe you're strong!" Danuja said.

"You think I'm strong?" Momo questioned. "I'm here sobbing my eyes out! How am I strong?!".

"Do you remember what you said to me after I lost to Tatsuya?" Danuja asked her.

"What did I say to you?" Momo asked.

"You said to me; Because no matter what, no matter how hard things get, you keep going." Danuja said.

"'Because no matter what, no matter how hard things get, you keep going.' Maybe I should take my own advice." Momo said as she wiped away her tears. "Okay. I can't believe you followed and saw me sobbing my eyes out. Even though it's only been one semester, you're pretty much my best friend. Don't tell Jiro or Ashido!"

They both chuckled as the mood began to light up just a little bit.

"I just… I guess I was too scared to let you see me like this…" Momo said. "I'm known as this strong, strategic hero! And I can't… I didn't want you to think of me as anything else…".

As Danuja tried to lean in for a kiss, Momo immediately stood up and said; "Well? What're we doing out here? Let's go back to our rooms and get some shut-eye!".

Right before Momo went to her room, she stopped and looked at Danuja as she said; "Thank you, Danuja. For everything."

She gives Danuja a quick Kiss on the cheek before she heads back to her room.

Danuja became pumped up as he whispered out loud; "Yesss!".

After Danuja went to bed, so did I.

We all woke up at 5:30 AM in the morning, and began our intense training.

"Don't lose focus. Each of you can move faster and no matter what you're doing, just remember where you started from." Aizawa said out loud. "Don't forget who you were before UA. Always keep in mind why you're sweating and why your limits keep getting tested. That's what it means to improve."

Where I started, who I am, and how I got here, huh?, I thought.

"Meow meow meow meow! More importantly, tonight's gonna be fun!" Pixie-Bob said. "We're putting classes against each other in a test of courage! I know you've been training hard today and later you'll get to play Hard! How's that for a reward?".

"Don't slack off now! Make sure you keep on pushing yourself as you work!" Pixie-Bob said.

"Yes Ma'am!" We all said in Unison.

We all went back to training rigorously until it was time for dinner. We all helped out with dinner, but after we were done eating, Pixie-Bob began explaining the test of courage and told us what each class would be doing. We were all assigned to be in pairs of two by drawing sticks. Coincidentally, I ended up with my girlfriend, Izuki.

We were one of the teams to go in next. After we went in, I began to smell fire from a distance and noticed a weird smoke appeared around us. I quickly told Izuki to close her mouth and don't breathe in the smoke while I covered my mouth with my hand. I teleported us out of the forest, I teleported back in the forest, and began to try and find the source of the smoke.

I found the guy who created the smoke and knocked him out with a punch before I shouted out; "So you're the one who created the smoke!".

After I knocked the guy out, the smoke went away and I tied the guy up with a rope I found nearby.

"Who is this guy and what the hell is going on here?" I said out loud before Mandalay used her telepathy to contact everyone.

"Two villains attacked us. It's possible they're more coming." Mandalay said. "Everyone return to camp immediately. We're regrouping. Do not engage any enemies."

"It's already too late for that. I already knocked one villain out and tied him up", I thought. "But now that I think about it, I can sense more villains in the forest and two near the group outside the forest… Damn! How did they find us?! "

I grabbed the guy, I teleported to the group, and surprised the two villains as I teleported in front of them from a distance and threw their comrade at their feet.

"Well, well, well! If it isn't the great Tatsuya Hitoshi! It's an honor to meet you!" The Lizard Villain said. "How are you this evening, UA High School? I am Spinner! And we are part of the Vanguard Action Squad of the League of Villains!".

"Vanguard Action Squad? ", I questioned in my head.

"The League of Villains, huh?" I said. "What the hell are you guys doing here? Aren't you supposed to be home resting from getting beaten the crap out of by the All Mights?!".

"That's where you're wrong, my friend!" Spinner said. "We weren't there at the USJ Incident! We are new members of the League of Villains and we're assigned to be part of the Vanguard Action Squad for the League of Villains!".

"Just what the hell are you guys doing here?!" I asked them in irritation.

"Wouldn't you like to know?" Another Villain said as he stepped up from behind Spinner and the other villain.

My Chosen One Powers appeared on my right hand and then disappeared.

"My Chosen One Powers reacted to this guy?! ", I thought in my head in surprise. "That must mean that this guy must be different and a lot stronger than the other villains… I'll have to be careful around this guy…"

I began to hop around like a boxer as the Villain took off his Black cloak. I stopped hopping around and took a stance as the Villain popped both of his knuckles and then did a stance similar to Perfect Cell from Dragon Ball Z…

End of Chapter 33.
