At the League of Villains' hideout, Tomura was stacking decks of playing cards into a pyramid carefully as Kurogiri watched him from behind the counter. After the aftermath battle between All Might and Nomu at USJ, Kurogiri have retreated Tomura to their hideout in one piece as they must regain their strength while waiting for the perfect time to strike back.
"The master, he's good." Tomura said. "I tried so hard to find out where those idiots were going, and he figured it out in an instant. Guess he really showed me."
"It was worth having a team on standby then, wasn't it, Tomura Shigaraki?" Kurogiri questioned.
The playing card pyramid then fell apart on the counter, leaving Tomura stand up straight with a sigh.
"Hmph. I guess." Tomura replied.
At that moment, Giran opened the door and puffed smoke out of his mouth from his cigarette.
"I heard back from the union today." Giran announced. "You can expect a delivery tomorrow. It was thrown together quickly, so it might not look like much, but the quality is guaranteed."
"I must apologize for making such an unreasonable request." Kurogiri apologized.
"Tell me, Shigaraki, do you know why the union accepted this outlandish order of yours?" Giran asked as he came walking inside the bar with his cigarette in his hand. "Cause everyone's got high expectations of you. If the League of Villains step into the light, then the scum hiding on the sidelines will follow suit. And if that happens, it means brokers like me win big. We'll be rolling in new customers. Crime pays."
"Oh yes. You're gonna be so busy, you won't be able to keep up." Tomura said.
"I'm looking forward to that. Anyway, thanks." Giran said with a chuckle.
With that, Giran closed the door and departed out of the bar.
"The board is set with my pawns and their prey." Tomura said with a sinister smile. "Finally. Time for the real game to begin."
At U.A. High School, the first semester has been officially concluded. All Class 1-A students are prepared for their first day of the school training camp.
"Now that you finished your first semester at UA High, it's time for summer vacation to officially begin." Aizawa informed. "However, don't think these will 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."
"Yes, sir!" Class 1-A students said in unison.
All Class 1-A students began chattering about the approaching possibilities of the training camp.
"Man, I'm so excited! I'm looking forward for this camp since forever!" Diana grinned eagerly.
"Calm down, Diana. You'll have your fun when we get there." Selene said.
"But I wonder where exactly are we going to take this camp." Luna wondered.
"Now that you mention it, my mother gave me intel on the training camp's location." Aisha replied. "We're gonna meet some close friends of hers there."
"Really? How exciting." Diana, Luna, and Selene said with awestruck faces.
"Let's hear it for camp!"
Luna, Aisha, Selene, and Diana turned their heads to watch Uraraka chanting about camping that also caught their classmates' attention as well.
"Camp! Camp! Camp!" Uraraka shouted with pink blushing face.
"Camp! Camp! Camp! Camp!" Mina and Kaminari cheered as they joined in on the chanting.
"Someone's cheery today." Selene said to Diana, Luna, and Aisha.
Suddenly, Monoma appeared out of nowhere.
"I heard some of Class A is taking extra courses!" Monoma taunted. "Does that mean they actually fail the final exams? That must be so embarrassing! Especially since you're supposed to be so much better than my class! All of you must be wallowing in shame!"
Kendo instantly knocked Monoma out to the ground with her signature karate chop.
"Don't mind him." Kendo said.
Kendo grabbed Monoma's collar and started dragging him into the bus, leading her Class 1-B classmates onto their bus.
"Looks like Class B will be attending the camp as well." Selene said.
"I was this close on giving that Monona a psychic choke of the lifetime." Aisha said with dangerously narrow eyes.
Diana and Luna took a step back from Aisha's dangerous psychic aura.
"There's no need for that, Aisha." Luna said.
"Attention, Class A, our bus is here!" Iida ordered as he stood right in front of the school bus. "Everyone, line up in seating order!"
As the bus began driving straight to the training camp, all the Class 1-A students began chatting each other and fooling around to brighten up their boredom.
"Here's the deal. We'll be on this bus about an hour before our first stop." Aizawa announced. "Make sure you stay focused."
Aizawa looked over his seat and saw his class weren't paying no attention to him. His class was as wild and carefree as they all chattered about their own business.
Giving up on any hope of disciplining his class, Aizawa instead decided to settle into his nap.
An hour later, the bus pulled over to a stop on the mountain top and all Class 1-A students started to exit out of the vehicle.
"Finally. I needed off that bus." Kaminari said.
"Let me get through!" Mineta shouted. He began to fidget in dire need of a bathroom. "I gotta pee!"
Class 1-A students gazed around at the endless sky as they marveled at the far-flung mountains along with dense, brilliant green forest spreading down below.
"Huh. This isn't much of a rest area." Kaminari commented.
"No. And where's Class B?" Jiro wondered as she looked around for the Class 1-B bus in confusion.
"You don't really think we stopped here just so you could stretch your legs, do you?" Aizawa questioned.
Suddenly, a black limousine pulled up.
"Heya, Eraser!"
The Class 1-A students and Aizawa turned their attention to the vehicle as four newcomers exited out of the limousine.
"Long time no see." Aizawa said with a bow.
Two women stepped in front of Aizawa and his class. One woman has short red hair styled into three bangs going across her face and brown eyes. She wore a red sleeveless, collared top decorated with three straps and a bell, a large red ruffled skirt that has a red tail, an orange belt with pockets and a silver buckle resembling a cat paw with blue pads, and red boots with vertical stripes lined with pink fur. She also has large white cat gloves with retractable claws, red markings beneath her eyes that resemble cat whiskers, and a pink communication device designed to resemble cat ears.
The other woman has long blonde hair that's mostly combed back with her long bangs and blue eyes. She wore a light blue sleeveless, collared top decorated with three straps and a bell, a large light blue ruffled skirt that has a blue and white striped tail, an orange belt with pockets and a silver buckle resembling a cat paw with blue pads, and light blue boots with vertical stripes lined with pale blue fur. She also has large white cat gloves with retractable claws, two blue dots on cheeks, and a light blue communication device designed to resemble cat ears that also includes a tinted visor.
"Your feline fantasies are here! Say, 'meow'!" The red-haired woman spoke.
"Purrfectly cute and catlike girls!" The blonde woman professed.
"You can call us the Wild, Wild Pussycats!" Two pro heroes declared with signature poses.
Next to the red-haired woman was a small scowling-looking boy. He has short, spiky black hair and wore a white collared shirt with buttons, dark shorts, black boots, and a red hat with golden, spike-shaped horns on the front. Next to the blonde woman was a marionette-looking woman. She has a fairly tall, mature physique with pale white skin, long peach blonde wavy hair with two white rose hair clips on her head and yellow eyes. She wore an ornately midnight blue ruffled knee-length dress with a wrap-around top and puffy sleeves at the shoulders and wide long sleeves along with a pair of tall navy-blue thigh-length boots.
The entire Class 1-A students stared at the pro heroes with confuse and questionable faces.
"Hi, Mandalay. Hi, Pixie-Bob." Aisha greeted with a friendly wave.
"Long time no see, Aisha." Mandalay smiled.
"I assume you know them before?" Aizawa asked Aisha.
"Her mother Amazonite and the Pussycats go way back before Aisha was born." Pixie-Bob explained. "Amazonite always sent her daughters to volunteer and spend them with us every summer, so Aisha knows her way around here."
"These are the pro heroes you'll be working with at the summer training camp." Aizawa said to the rest of his students.
"They're a four-person hero team who specialize in mountain rescues!" Izuku added excitedly. He turned to his classmates with a huge smile on his face. "The Pussycats were founded when we were kids like forever ago! This marks their twelfth year working as a…!"
Suddenly, Pixie-Bob grabbed Izuku by the face with her glove paw.
"I'm pretty sure your math must be off." Pixie-Bob said dangerously. "I'm eighteen at heart."
"Understood." Izuku said under the glove paw.
"Everyone, say hello." Aizawa said.
"Hello! Nice to meet you!" Class 1-A students greeted.
The silent scowling young boy turned his head away from everyone. The marionette woman bowed respectfully.
"We own this whole stretch of land out here." Mandalay said as she pointed her finger at the faraway scenery. "Everything you can see. The summer camp you're staying at is there at the base of the mountainside."
"That's far!" Class 1-A exclaimed in unison.
"Uh, then why did we stop all the way up here instead?" Uraraka asked.
"I'm afraid we both know the answer to that." Tsuyu said.
"That can't be right." Sato smiled nervously.
"Um, back to the bus. Quick, let's go." Sero said with a nervous laugh.
"Good idea." Kaminari agreed. "Load up."
Koda and Mina nodded in agreement. But Aisha began walking past Mandalay and levitated herself in the air.
"Uh, Aisha, what are you doing?" Diana cried.
Aisha didn't respond and swiftly descended out of sight.
"We told you before. Only Aisha knows her way around here. The current time is 9:30 in the morning." Mandalay told the Class 1-A students with a crafty smile. "If you're fast about it, you might make it there by noon."
"No way. Guys!" Kirishima said in shock.
"Holy crap!" Mina cried.
"Save yourselves!" Kirishima yelled.
All Class 1-A students hurried back to the bus with frantic steps.
"Kitties who don't make it there by 12:30 won't get any lunch!" Mandalay reminded.
Class 1-A didn't buy Mandalay's words as they kept rushing back on to the bus to avoid this harsh training.
"You should have guessed, students." Aizawa said. "The training camp...has already begun."
As Pixie-Bob suddenly blocked the students' path, she pressed her gloved paws to the ground and raised it into the air to drop the Class 1-A students over the mountainside cliff. Luckily for them, they were enveloped by sea green aura as they all looked down to see Aisha levitating them safely to the ground.
"Good news! Since this is private land, you can use your Quirks as much as you want to!" Mandalay shouted on the mountain top cliff. "You've got three full hours! You should be able to make it to the facility in that time! That is, if you can get through the Beast's Forest!"
Class 1-A students stood up on their feet to dust the dust off themselves before turning around to the large, dense forest with collective gasps.
"The Beast's Forest?!" Izuku exclaimed in shock.
"That sounds like a name right out of a fantasy game!" Kaminari cried.
"Why do we keep falling for Aizawa's little tricks?" Jiro complained.
"I guess there's no use of complaining. Might as well get going." Kirishima said.
Mineta quickly went sprinting past the tree until he encountered an enormous growling beast-like golem looming over him out of nowhere.
"We're all gonna die!" Kaminari and Sero screamed.
All Class 1-A students stared at an enormous beast golem in alarm. The roaring beast golem immediately started to raise its claws high in the air.
"Please calm yourself, my giant friend! You don't wanna hurt them!" Koda shouted as he began running towards the creature.
But unfortunately, Koda's Quirk wasn't able to soothe the beast golem instantly. The beast golem went to slam Mineta, but Izuku jumped in to save him.
Shoto, Iida, and Katsuki sprinted remarkably forward to take down the beast golem.
Back on the mountain top cliff, Pixie-Bob was looking through her tinted visor with a happy humming.
"Don't you think you've got them on a pretty crazy schedule, Eraser?" Mandalay questioned.
"Yeah." Aizawa replied. "We're hoping we get an entire second semester's worth of knowledge in them here. That's going to take an intense amount of work. But the rewards'll be worth it. They'll get permits to use their Quirks if there's ever an emergency. And provisional licenses that will allow them to work as heroes. Most importantly, with all the villainous activity, we've been tracking they need to be able to defend themselves." He turned to Pixie-Bob. "I trust that I can count on you, Pixie-Bob."
"Leave it to me!" Pixie-Bob said excitedly. "Oh, wow, my fur's standing on end!"
Shoto released a large ice ridge to freeze the beast golem's legs from his right boot. Iida forced he torque and RPM of his engines into overdrive that allowed him to hit the beast golem's arms with incredible fast swinging kick. Katsuki sprang forward and emitted a powerful explosion that blasted the beast golem's face. Izuku then finished the beast golem's body by diving down and delivering a fast punch in One For All Full Cowling style.
"You guys took that beast down in seconds!" Sato said as he and Sero ran up to Shoto.
"It was awesome." Sero smiled.
"You showed that thing who's boss." Kirishima said to Katsuki with a smile.
"We're not done." Katsuki said with narrow eyes.
Kirishima stared at Katsuki in confusion. But Katsuki was staring at another enormous beast-like golem growling from afar.
"Hey, come on." Kaminari complained. "Don't you think this is a little unfair?"
"Hey, Aisha, now's a good time to tell us about Pixie-Bob's Quirk." Selene said to Aisha.
"Her Quirk is Earth Flow." Aisha explained. "She can use her power to manipulate the earth around her, allowing her to mold it into anything she wants. Those creatures the boys took down she called them Earth Beast. With Pixie-Bob's built-in navigation system in her goggles, she controlled those beasts and keep track on them all at once."
"What now? Do we run?" Mina asked.
"Not good." Sato said. "If we don't make it to the camp fast enough, then we won't get anything to eat."
"He's right. We have no choice but to cut through these woods using the shortest possible route." Yaoyorozu said boldly.
Yaoyorozu received affirmative nods from everyone in response.
"All right. Let's go, Class A!" Iida exclaimed.
"Yeah!" All Class 1-A student responded.
Shoji and Jiro used their Quirks to detect the presence of nine incoming beast golems.
Sero jumped up and ensnared the flying Earth Beast with his tape as he thrusted his arms down that sent the golem creature falling to the ground. Sato, Kirishima, and Tokoyami used their own Quirks to crush the Earth Beast into pieces while Ojiro swung his tail to hit another Earth Beast that allowed Aoyama to blast it apart with his laser beam.
Mineta rapidly threw his sticky balls at the tree that glued the fourth Earth Beast's clawed hand before sending more around the golem creature's body. Kaminari unleashed a large amount of electricity to frying the Earth Beast, causing his brain to short-circuit in the process.
Koda commanded the birds to swarm around the fifth Earth Beast as Mina melted the golem creature's leg from behind, making the creature kneel down with one knee. Hagakure ran away from the sixth Earth Beast while pretending to be helpless as a distraction for Mina and Yaoyorozu. Mina melted the golem creature's leg that sent it to kneel with one knee, allowing Yaoyorozu to fire her large cannon at the two Earth Beasts.
As Uraraka lightened the seventh Earth Beast, Tsuyu flung it away with her tongue just before Uraraka deactivated her quirk to make the golem creature fall to the ground. Todoroki froze the eighth Earth Beast and Katsuki used his explosion to blow it up as Izuku jumped up to punch it with his fast punch.
Aisha psychokinetically detained the last Earth Beast with both hands as Selene unleashed two large star-shaped orbs of stellar energy that exploded the golem creature's legs. Diana manifested her red aura around herself and fired two red energy blasts at the golem creature's arms while Luna fired a large-sized sphere of pink energy that blasted the Earth Beast into pieces.
Once more incoming Earth Beasts headed their direction, all Class 1-A students joined together to fight back the golem creatures one after another and race towards the forest lodge.
At some point during the evening, all Class 1-A students finally emerged from the forest and reached to the camp lodge. They were panting severely in exhaustion all scratched and beaten up upon reaching their destination, where Aizawa, Mandalay, Pixie-Bob, and the small boy stood in front of the lodge to congratulate the students.
"You said it would only be, like, three hours!" Sero complained.
"I guess we timed it based on how long it'd take us." Mandalay said. "Sorry!"
"Now you're bragging about how much better you are? That's so mean!" Sato said.
"I'm starving. This is hell." Kirishima groaned.
Pixie-Bob giggled at Sero and Kirishima's complaints.
"I thought it would take you kids even longer. But you did much better against my dirt monsters than I thought you would. You guys were seriously great." Pixie-Bob said. She then pointed her gloved claw at Izuku, Iida, Shoto, and Katsuki. "Especially the four of you! It seems like you've had quite a bit of experience." She licked her lips and started swarming the boys. "I call dibs on these kittens! I'll groom them myself!"
Luna and Aisha stared at Pixie-Bob's hyper fondness for Shoto and Katsuki with irritating, jealous glares.
"Mandalay. Has she always been like this?" Aizawa asked Mandalay.
"It's gotten worse lately. She's at the age to take a mate." Mandalay replied.
Well, this is disturbing. Diana thought.
"Uh. Speaking of people's ages..." Izuku spoke.
Pixie-Bob grasped Izuku's face once again.
"Choose your words carefully, boy." Pixie-Bob said threateningly.
"I've just been wondering since we got here earlier. Who is that kid and that woman? What're they doing here?" Izuku asked as he glanced and pointed his finger at the silently scowled boy and the marionette woman standing next to Mandalay.
"Oh, this little guy? He's my cousin's son. He lives with us now. And this woman is a caretaker to the daughter of an old friend of mine." Mandalay answered. "Don't be shy, Kota. Say hi to everyone. You're gonna be around them for the next week."
"Greetings, everyone! I'm Bloodberry!" The marionette woman greeted.
Bloodberry took a step aside to reveal the little emotionless girl that was standing behind her. The little girl has fair skin, long straight black hair, and red eyes. She wore a long white dress with white balloon-sleeves that end in black cuffs and a short red double-layered hoopskirt from the chest down, and stiletto white boots. She also has pink nail polish on her fingernails.
"I'd like you all to meet..." Bloodberry continued.
"Cecilia!" Luna shouted with a bright smile.
Luna immediately rushed forward, picking the little girl up in her arms and hugging her tightly.
"It's good to see you again, Cecilia!" Luna beamed excitedly.
"Same here, Luna." Cecilia said quietly.
"Her mother Morganite sent her to stay with us for the summer this year." Mandalay whispered to Luna. "She also told me that you are Tarot Chariot and All Might's daughter and Cecilia's godsister. But don't worry, your secret is safe with the Pussycats."
"Thanks." Luna whispered back. She then placed Cecilia down to the ground and crouched down to offer her hand to Kota. "And it's nice to meet you, Kota. You're so cute. The name's Luna."
Kota glared merely at Luna and shook her hand with a small blush tainted on his cheeks.
"I sensed some impassive vibe from that little girl." Aisha said.
"Kinda like how you were before the sports festival." Selene commented.
"Yeah, no doubt." Aisha remarked as she placed her hands on her hips.
Izuku then walked up to Kota and stood next to Luna.
"Hey there. My name's Midoriya. I'm from the UA High School hero course." Izuku greeted. He offered his handshake to Kota. "It's nice to meet you."
Unfortunately, Kota threw an unexpected punch to hit straight into Izuku's groin.
Luna's eyes widened wide and she covered Cecilia's eyes while Bloodberry covered her mouth with shocking eyes. Iida quickly ran up to check on the blindsided Izuku with a worry look as Kota walked away wordlessly.
"What a low blow! You fiend of a child!" Iida scolded. "A punch to the scrotum is unforgivable!"
"The last thing I want is to hang out with some wannabe heroes." Kota replied with a glare.
"Wannabe?! How old are you, kid?" Iida questioned.
"That brat's got spunk." Katsuki said with a smile.
"He's like a mini version of you." Shoto commented with a straight face.
"You can say that again." Diana concurred with a smirk.
"What are you talking about?" Katsuki retaliated angrily. He marched up close to Shoto and Diana. "You two need to shut your mouths before I blast you both all the way to hell!"
"Yeah, sure." Shoto countered sarcastically.
"Enough playing around." Aizawa interrupted. "Get your stuff from 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."
A while later, all Class 1-A students gathered together to enjoy the wide variety of food with satisfaction inside the camp lodge cafeteria.
"This looks so good!" Midoriya exclaimed.
Everyone began scarfing down their dinner as if they haven't eaten in years.
"It's so good! I can't get enough!" Kirishima cried as he shoved his rice into his mouth.
"My stomach is so happy right now. It's just as good as the food by Lunch-Rush." Diana exclaimed as she chomped dumplings in rapid speed.
"I think I might eat until I burst." Kaminari commented overzealously as he was eating rice from his bowl. He gasped suddenly with wide eyes. "I smell beef."
"Hey, wait, you got meat over there?" Kirishima shouted.
"Oh really? Where?" Diana cried as she searched around the room wildly.
"Yeah. Jeez, it's like you guys haven't eaten in a week or something." Pixie Bob said. "Anyway, today's the only time we'll be doing this for you. So, make sure you kids enjoy it."
"Thank you!" Kaminari, Diana, and Kirishima shouted.
"Hey, Kota! Can you bring me those vegetables?" Mandalay asked as she carried a pot in her hands. "Cecilia, I need you to help Bloodberry in the kitchen!"
Kota silently picked up the box of vegetable and carried it to his cousin while Cecilia walked quietly into the kitchen, but she wasn't aware that Luna was staring at her with a concern look on her face.
After the dinner was done, the Class 1-A students visited the respective hot springs. Both male and female students enjoyed the hot springs in relaxation as a large wooden wall that separated the boys and the girls from different sides.
On the girl's side, everybody was conversing with each other while relaxing their muscles at the same time.
"This feels amazing." Mina smiled.
"I'm so glad they're got a hot spring here!" Jiro said.
"You say it." Selene agreed.
Then suddenly, the girls heard something ascending from the other side of the wooden wall.
"What the hell was that?" Diana asked.
"There's only one person we know who's climbing behind that wall." Aisha said with narrow eyes.
"Mineta!" The girls exclaimed.
Then, the girls looked up to see Kota abruptly blocking Mineta's path from reaching to the top of the wall.
"Before you become a hero, you should learn how to be a good human." Kota said sternly.
Kota swatted Mineta's hand, causing him to lost his grip and fall down from the wall.
"I'll get you from this!" Mineta screamed as he was falling back to the spring water.
Kota's arrival earned a large number of praises from the girls.
"Mineta really is the worst, isn't he?" Tsuyu spoke.
"Thanks for the save, Kota!" Diana shouted.
Kota turned around to witness all the girls naked in the hot spring water.
"Thanks so much, Kota, babe! We owe you one!" Mina yelled cheerfully.
Once Kota realized his mistake, he widened his eyes in shock and immediately yelped as he started to lose his balance. The girls watched in shock as Kota fell over the wall of the hot spring. Diana released a worried yelp and manifested her body with green aura to create a holographic copy of herself in a green towel. The hologram Diana sprang up to the edge of the wall and peeked down to see Izuku saving an unconscious Kota in a nick of time with One For All Full Cowling.
"It's okay, girls! Midoriya caught the kid!" The hologram Diana shouted to the girls.
All the girls sighed in relief as Diana snapped her fingers to vanish her hologram out of thin air.
Then, Cecilia and Bloodberry walked into the hot springs with fresh towels in their hands.
"Hello, everyone." Cecilia spoke. "Pixie-Bob wants me to send fresh towels if you need one."
"Thank you, Cecilia." Yaoyorozu said.
"She's so adorable." Mina grinned.
Cecilia and Bloodberry placed the fresh towels on the small table. But suddenly, Bloodberry was feeling uneasy and faced Cecilia with genuine fear in her eyes. Her right arm and left leg started breaking off with a painful groan as she stumbled backward away from Cecilia, which quickly captured the girls' attention.
Bloodberry then started falling slowly backward, but Luna quickly caught her in her arms. Cecilia stood over Bloodberry with a worry look on her face.
"Bloodberry, get up! Please, get up!" Cecilia whispered.
"Is Bloodberry okay?" Uraraka asked worryingly.
"Yeah, she's fine." Luna replied. "She's just a little tired, that's all. I better take her to Pixie-Bob right away."
Luna walked inside the Pussycat's office with a white towel wrapped around her body as she placed an unconscious Bloodberry down on the couch with concern. Luna and Pixie-Bob then observed Cecilia using her Quirk on Bloodberry.
"I'm glad you were able to catch her in a nick of time." Pixie-Bob said. She grabbed Luna's arm and moved away from Cecilia in a whisper. "This isn't the first time this happen."
"What do you mean?" Luna asked.
"Lately, after Morganite dropped her daughter and Bloodberry off to us, Bloodberry has been experiencing weird pains." Pixie-Bob explained. She glanced at Cecilia in concern when the child was finishing Bloodberry's limbs. "Me and the others have no idea what's going on with her. And as quiet as she is, Cecilia won't talk to us about Bloodberry, but at least she's safe and sound for now."
"Pixie-Bob, you mind if I make a call?" Luna asked.
"Sure." Pixie-Bob responded.
As Pixie-Bob exited the office room, Luna walked over to the telephone and started pushing button to make a phone call as she held the telephone to her ear for Morganite to answer the call.
"Hello?" Morganite answered.
"Morganite, it's me." Luna said. "I need to talk to you about Cecilia and Bloodberry."
"What?! What happened? Are they okay?" Morganite asked with worry.
"Don't worry. They're fine." Luna replied calmly. "The reason I call you is because Pixie-Bob told me that Bloodberry has been experiencing pain since her arrival and that her arm and leg has breaking…like glass."
That earned a heavy sigh from Morganite.
"Is this have something to do with Cecilia's Quirk?" Luna asked. "She seems to be aware of Bloodberry's condition than the Pussycats."
"That's a pretty big secret." Morganite explained in a sad tone. "The truth is…Bloodberry is literally created out of Cecilia's Quirk. Even though she inherited my Quirk, Cecilia can create constructs out of crystals. She made Bloodberry as a sentient crystalline being with her own personality and feelings to protect her in case I won't be there for her protection. Cecilia's desire is Bloodberry's only and absolute law."
Luna remained quiet as she looked back at Cecilia with a sympathetic face. She never knew how powerful Cecilia's Quirk could be at such a young age. Thinking about it makes Luna's mind spinning in deep confusion and disbelief.
"Morganite, I'm overloaded with questions right now." Luna said. "But for now, I promise that I will help Cecilia and Bloodberry in any way I can."
"Oh, Luna, thank you." Morganite said as she wiped the heavy tears away from her eyes. "In the meantime, good luck on your summer training and tell Cecilia I love her. And also, tell Bloodberry thank you for protecting her."
"Will do. Good-bye." Luna said.
Luna hung up the phone call and exited out of the office while worrying about Cecilia's power and Bloodberry's condition.
Wow, I still can't believe Cecilia's Quirk has reached the limit to that capability on creating a living being. Luna thought. In any case, I'm glad Bloodberry's alright. But now, it looks like I'm gonna have to learn more about Cecilia's powers during my time here in this camp.
The next morning, Class 1-A students came outside the training camp cabin with extremely tired faces at 5:30 AM.
"Good morning, class. Today, we begin a training camp that will increase your strength." Aizawa said. "Our goal is to increase your skills exponentially, so that each of you earns a provisional license. This will allow you to face the dangers that continues to fester in the darkness. Proceed carefully. Look alive, Bakugo."
Aizawa then tossed a softball to Katsuki, who caught it in his hand.
"Try throwing that for me." Aizawa instructed.
"Yeah, sure. Like in the fitness test." Katsuki said.
"That's right." Aizawa said. "When you first started school, your record was 705.2 meters. Let's see if you've improved."
Katsuki walked forward and began rotating his arms as a stretch.
"Oh, I get it! We're checking our progress." Mina said.
"A lot's happened to us the last three months. Maybe he can throw it a whole mile now!" Sero exclaimed.
"C'mon, get it, Bakugo!" Kirishima shouted.
"I've got this. No one blink. GO TO HELL!" Katsuki screamed.
Katsuki drew his hand back and threw the ball in the air.
Oh, brother. Luna thought with a deadpan expression.
Katsuki propelled the softball flying through the sky with an enormous explosion.
"That was 709.6 meters." Aizawa said.
That earned stunned looks from Katsuki and his classmates.
Aizawa held up his phone that showed 709.6 meters on the screen, showing his surprising students that Katsuki was only four meters farther than he did from his last pitch since the beginning of the semester.
"That's it? Kinda disappointing." Sero said.
"Luna, you're next." Aizawa said as he tossed another softball to Luna. "Your record was 706.8 meters. Throw the ball and we'll see if you have also improved."
"Oh, okay." Luna said.
Luna walked forward next to Katsuki and began stretching her arms.
"Alright. I hope Luna does better than Bakugo." Sero said.
"Go as hard as you can, Luna!" Diana shouted.
Luna drew her hand back and enveloped the ball with blazing pink energy, sending it to fly through the sky with a vast burst of speed.
"And that was 711.2 meters." Aizawa said.
Luna's eyes widened in disbelief as Aizawa held up his phone that showed 711.2 meters on the screen to the students.
"Really? It's almost like there's been absolutely no improvement at all." Mina said.
"You've 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 skill. With a slight increase in stamina thrown in along the way. Your Quirks really haven't grown that much stronger. Not on a fundamental level." Aizawa explained.
Izuku and Luna gasped at what Aizawa just said.
"That's why we're now going to focus on improving your powers." Aizawa continued. He then formed a menacing smile. "This'll be so hard, you'll feel you're dying. Let's hope you all survive."
Meanwhile, the Shatrix gathered together inside the warehouse laboratory as they were observing the new upgrades provided by Dr. Daku himself. Their new upgrades were black leather choker necklace that has a white glowing star-shaped pendant on it. Nightshade was observing them as she leaned her back against the nearby wall while Charon crouched down next to Nightshade.
"Yippee! The doc's upgrades are very pretty." Celena said as she observed the necklace with a childlike smile. "This mission is gonna be so much fun."
"C'mon. Can we hurry up already?" Solaria grumbled. "Let's do this. I'm ready for round two on that Diana."
"It's too early, Solaria." Rhina said calmly. "Besides, we have orders from Carina that she don't want us to anything flashy during this mission. The last thing we need is Tomura and his League of Villains knowing our true objectives."
"Who knows Tomura went from being a spoiled brat to a grown man in charge." Estrella said. "At least, that was described from Kurogiri."
"You girls can have your fun for all I care, but I'm only going to have some fun my way." Nightshade said with a scheming smile.
"And besides, someone has decided to join us in our mission at the last minute." Charon added.
"Who?" Celena, Solaria, Rhina, and Estrella asked.
"Me!"
Celena, Solaria, Rhina, Estrella, Charon, and Nightshade turned their heads to the shadows. A feminine silhouette started walking from the shadows and revealed herself in front of them. She has pale faintly purple skin, long dark purple hair tied in a long braid, and light purple eyes. She wore a turtleneck sleeveless purple leotard with black fingerless gloves, and purple high-heeled, shin-high combat boots with black soles. She also has a purple star-shaped mark on her right eye. Celena, Solaria, Rhina, and Estrella looked at the teen villainess in a recognizing mix of shock and surprise while Nightshade and Charon couldn't careless.
"Lilith!" Celena, Solaria, Rhina, and Estrella exclaimed.
"That's my name and I'm ready to play." Lilith greeted with a dark smile.
Enjoy and review.
