It was a fine morning at Neo-City as we head towards the Training Camp. At one training area, we see Jaune Arc, Lie Ren, Brent Dark, Wesley Bryans, Donnel, Lissa, Nowi, Mata, Lunette Yaeger, Geraldo Axel, Maya Sparrow, Cardin Winchester, Elise Pearson, Alla Yuliya, Daisuke "Davis" Motomiya, Ichigo Kurosaki and some trainees that are yet to introduced at one area with several training dummies tied on poles, they're being instructed by a... really weird instructor.
The instructor wears an asbestos-lined suit that provides protection from the afterburn and wears a black gas mask. This is The Pyro.
Mann Co. Mercenary and Trainer
The Pyro
The Pyro then spoke, "Mmm-mmm-mmmmpphh-mmmmmppphhh-mmmmpphhhh...'' he muffled.
Elise then leans towards next to Alla, "I will never get used to the Pyro's mumbling." she whispered.
The Pyro then pointed a finger at one dummy, "Mmm-mmm-mmmmpphh-mmmmmppphhh-mmmmpphhhh...'' he mumbled before pointing a finger at several weapons on ground, "Mmm-mmm-mmmmpphh-mmmmmppphhh-mmmmpphhhh...'' he mumbled before making hand gestures that refers to explosion.
"You want us to use those weapons to blast those dummies?'' Wesley pointed out.
The Pyro clapped his hands, "Mmm-mmm-mmmmpphh-mmmmmppphhh-mmmmpphhhh...'' he mumbled cheerfully in affirmation. He then pointed a finger at Jaune, "Mmm-mmm-mmmmpphh-mmmmmppphhh-mmmmpphhhh...'' he mumbled.
Jaune immediately understood what the Pyro meant, "Guess I'm going up first." he said. Jaune walks forward and picks up a shotgun, he then aimed the firearm at one dummy before shooting, hitting the target pretty nicely, "Nice..." he muttered.
The Pyro claps his hands cheerfully, "Mmm-mmm-mmmmpphh-mmmmmppphhh-mmmmpphhhh...'' he mumbled in appreciation while giving him a thumbs-up.
"That was easy." Jaune muttered, "Then again... it's a shotgun, it's not really that difficult to use compared to the alien weapons." he stated.
"But it's a good start if you ask me." Ren pointed out.
Jaune nodded, "I guess you're right." he replied in agreement.
Ren turns to his right and saw something that made his eyes wide, "Jaune! Get down!" he yelled grabbing the scrawny blonde's arm and pulled him down to the ground.
Then a blast from a bazooka that was suppose to be for Jaune hits one dummy, blasting it to bits. Jaune and Ren stood up and stares at the dummy in horror.
"Damn! Ah missed!" a voice complained.
Jaune facefaulted as his left hand slides down his face, he turns around to see Donzerg "Zerg" Stronghold holding a bazooka on his shoulder, "Damn it, Zerg! What the fuck is wrong with you?!" the blonde demanded in annoyance.
Zerg then aims the bazooka at Jaune once more, "None of yer business, Arc! Now man up and die!" he replied by blasting another shot at the blonde.
"EEEK!" Jaune shrieked as he ducks down.
And with that, the training session spiraled into chaos as Zerg chases a terrified Jaune all over the place with Ren, Mata and Cardin trying to stop the former from killing the latter while the Pyro cheerfully watches the commotion.
As this is going on, Nora Valkyrie, Yang Xiao Long and Weiss Schnee watches the on-going commotion from the bleachers.
"So...'' Weiss spoke, "... that guy is the reason on how Jaune activated his semblance." she pointed out with a raised eyebrow.
"How did that go?'' Yang asked, "Did the guy wounded Jaune and his semblance activated?'' she said.
"No... Zerg blew Jaune's entire body to bits and then his semblance activated." Nora clarified with a smile.
"That is sick!" Weiss exclaimed in disgust.
Bzzzttt...
After the training session, we see Ichigo with Orihime Inoue walking across the halls towards the recreation room.
"Men... thanks to Zerg, we didn't get any training done!" Ichigo complained, "And Pyro enjoying Zerg's craziness doesn't help either." he stated.
"Sounds tough." Orihime pointed out.
Ichigo sighed, "Hopefully... I could get some training done this afternoon." he said, "Both Taro and Duncan are already promoted to Hero status, I need to train as much as I can, so I can catch up with them." he declared in determination.
"You'll get there, Ichigo-kun." Orihime replied with a smile.
"Kurosaki-san!" a voice called.
Both Ichigo and Orihime turns to see Anna Maymorie running towards them, "What's up, Maymorie?'' the former asked.
Anna then stops in front of them, she took a deep breaths before looking up only to look away when she saw Ichigo's face, "Umm... Kurosaki-san, Louie-san wanted to meet after lunch." she said with a tint of red on her cheeks which Orihime noticed.
Orihime slightly pouted as she is aware of Anna's one-sided crush on Ichigo... which mind you is her boyfriend.
"Really? What does he want to talk about?'' Ichigo asked in surprise.
Anna shook her head, "I don't know.'' she replied, "They only told me that he wants to meet you." she said.
"I see." Ichigo said, "Well, thanks for telling me, I'll be sure to meet up with him later." he stated.
Anna shyly nodded, "O-Okay..." she said before walking off... still with red tints on her cheeks.
Ichigo rubs the back of his head, "I wonder what Louie wants to talk about." he mused before turning to Orihime whom is giving him a cute glare, "W-What? What's wrong?'' he asked in confusion.
"You can be pretty dense at times, Ichigo-kun." Orihime muttered.
"What?'' Ichigo asked.
Bzzzttt...
Meanwhile at the items area of the training facility, we see Kazuto "Kirito" Kirgaya alongside Meliodas standing in front of a counter with a male goblin working behind the said counter.
The goblin has a green skin tone with a dark eyes and red hair styled in a messy mohawk. He has pointy ears and his fangs sticks out from his lower lip. He has lean yet muscular build, he wears a beaded necklace with tooth-like accessories. He wears a baggy pants with a brown belt and red cape dangling on it, bandaged socks and brown shoes. This is Gob.

Gob
Gob is sorting through boxes as Kirito spoke, "Come on, Gob, these Granny Remedy Potions are to die for." he said, "Give us at least... five or six of those." he requested.
Gob in annoyance placed a bottle of antidote in front of Kirito, "Antidote! Happy?'' he exclaimed before turning back.
"Come on, Gob, we rarely get our hands on Granny Remedy Potions." Meliodas pointed out.
"I only hand out these potions for people going on missions." Gob replied, "And you guys don't have one!" he pointed out.
Then Roy, Ike and Travis Touchdown arrives at the Items Shop, "Greeting everyone." Ike greeted with smile.
"Hey, fellows." Meliodas greeted back.
Travis then noticed Gob packing some Granny Remedy Potions on one box, "Hey! Are those Granny Remedy Potions?'' he asked in excitement.
Gob let's out a groan, "Jesus Christ..." he muttered in annoyance.
"Perfect timing!" Roy spoke, "My team and I will be having a mission somewhere in the Elemental Nations tomorrow." he claimed, "Might as well packed myself with one of these." he mused.
"Get in line, Roy." Gob replied, "I'm shipping these potions to Ylisse today, you'll just to have to wait later." he stated.
"Good enough for me." Roy replied.
"Can I have one later?'' Kirito egged.
"For the last time, Kirito... no." Gob defied.
"Hey, green skin!" a voice called, "Give the kid some potions." the voice egged.
Everyone turns to see a young man approaching them. The young man wore a red bandana that held up his hair and was tied around his forehead, he also had a hooked nose, a slight beard on his cheeks and chin, and has brown eyes. He wears a black armor over a red robes and gii, white pants, brown calf-high sandals and brown hand gauntlets. This is Ryoutarou "Klein" Tsuboi.
Triumph Division Member and Vanguard Academy Student
Ryoutarou "Klein" Tsuboi
Ike grinned at his fellow Triumph Division member, "Well... look whose back after getting wounded!" he mused as Kirito got up and greeted Klein.
Klein then shared a fist bump with Kirito, "Sorry if I'm gone for a week." he said, "Being in the hospital sucks." he claimed.
"How did he get himself wounded again?'' Travis asked.
"He got shot by an arrow on the ass." Ike replied.
Gob snorted, "I can relate to that.'' he mused as he tossed a Granny Remedy Potion to Klein whom caught it with his hand.
"How come he gets a Granny Remedy Potion?'' Meliodas complained.
"Well... he got hit by an arrow in the ass." Gob replied.
Klein and Kirito then joins them, "So... anything new that happens while I was gone?'' the former asked.
Ike shrugged his shoulders, "Same old, same old." he replied, "Though... Roy's team are heading towards the Elemental Nations tomorrow and our group is going to Alabasta the day after." he stated.
Klein grinned, "Alabasta, eh? Even though it's a mission but I do look forward on checking that place out." he mused.
Gob then spoke, "It's gonna be a busy week to some of you." he mused, "Don't worry... I'll packed you guys some Granny Remedy Potion before you set sail.'' he said as he finished taping one box. He then grabs the box and placed it down on top of another box, he turns around only to be greeted by the sight of a girl standing in front of him, "GAAAAHH!" he yelped in surprise which caused the boys to flinched from his yelp. Gob then calmed down, "Who the fuck are you?!" he demanded.
The girls turns to him with a blank stare, "My name is Techna Loggy.'' she introduced herself, "I am a new student at the Vanguard Academy." she claimed.
Vanguard Academy Student
Techna Loggy
Techna has a petite frame, she has deep-dark eyes and shoulder-length black hair. She wears a green hoodie jacket, brown safari shorts and a green bonnet.
"Nice to meet you...'' Gob greeted with an unsure, "... but what the heck are you doing here?'' he asked.
"I was told to go to the dormitory village to find the place where I'm staying." Techna replied with a calm and timid voice.
"I'm pretty sure that this place ain't the dormitory village." Gob pointed out.
"It was a mistake on my part." Techna admitted, "I was about to make my way to the dormitory village when I cross paths with a crowd of people walking past me and brought me here by accident." she explained.
"I see." Gob replied as he turns to the guys, "Uhh... can anyone of you take this girl to the dormitory village?'' he requested.
Travis raised his hand, "I'll take here there." he volunteered.
Gob turns to Techna while pointing a finger at Travis, "Okay, miss... Johnny Knoxville will take you to your new home." he stated.
"My God, Gob!" Travis spoke, "Stop calling me, Johnny Knoxville!" he scolded.
Techna then appears next to him, "I appreciate the assistance, Mister Knoxville." she said.
Travis facefaulted, "Follow me to the dormitory village.'' he grumbled as he walks away with Techna following him.
The boys silently watches Travis and Techna walk away when Kirito spoke, "Techna Loggy? Technology." he mused.
Klein grinned, "That's an interesting name." he pointed out.
Bzzzttt...
Later that day at the training facility's rooftop, we see Louie looking over the city when Ichigo approaches him.
"Sir... Maymorie-san said that you were looking for me." Ichigo pointed out, "She said that you wanted to talk to me." he added.
Louie turns to him with a smile, "Yes, I did." he confirmed, "I'll be direct and blunt... Ichigo Kurosaki, I want you to head over Ichika Orimura's world." he ordered.
This taken Ichigo aback, "Wait... what is this about?'' he asked.
Louie chuckled, "Well, Ichigo...'' he mused, "... I'm telling you this is because..." he said with a pause, "... you're the latest trainee to be promoted to hero status.'' he revealed, "And the latest honorary member of the New Age Avengers." he added with a smile.
