Chapter 46-
So, good news, Pixie agreed to help. Bad news, Shino was still mad and didn't talk to him. She only told Pixie to finish fast and get back to the house.
As they worked, Pixie gave him a small smile. "We've been talking to her. She doesn't always listen, but we've been trying."
He nodded. "It will be fine. I'll figure something out." Opening an inventory portal, he started unloading everything he'd need for the rooms. It took him raiding 3 different home improvement stores, but he got everything he would need. Nearly 100 windows, dozens of large flat pieces of glass, and dozens of small AC units to put into each room. The large glass sheets were meant for the sitting area that would overlook the water.
Pixie had handled the structural support, while he dealt with the finishings. He wasn't a master at it, but he was competent, and he had all the tools he would need. He'd also level his skills as time went on. While he laid floors, trim, and the rune schemes for electricity, Pixie took full advantage of the situation.
Relaxing into a lounge chair, the woman was in a bikini and sipping on a drink. When she wanted something, she was asking him to fetch it for her. Which he would have begrudgingly done, if he wasn't already busy.
"Pixie, the house is right there, you can walk over and grab another drink yourself."
"But, Lioooon…" She whined.
"Do you want to lug these things around?" He growled at her.
She eyed the massive 3.5 meters pieces of square glass he was setting in place, and sighed. "Fine, you're a terrible butler."
He scoffed. "Woman, I can't clone myself."
"Too bad, too." She smirked behind her sunglasses.
Ignoring the comment, he settled the glass into its place and started making progress on the ground floor. The weirdest parts he had to collect was actually for the kitchen. It wasn't like he could just find the equipment he would need to stock it, right?
He'd worry about that another time, he supposed he could just get a bunch of food and cook via campfire.
"So why a whole building?"
He glanced back at her, she had already gotten her drink and was inspecting his handiwork. "If I ever want to do this again, I'd rather not have to rebuild something temporary."
She nodded. "Makes sense." Leaning in, she took a closer look at the runes he was doing. "These are for the floods, right?"
"They'll make the glass much stronger too. I also added in a detection rune. When they sense something slam into them, they turn to steel. I'll need to reset each one if that happens, but it's better than cleaning up glass."
"Fair enough." She walked back to her chair underneath the umbrella. "How long do you think this will take?"
"I don't know, maybe three more days? If I work through the night?"
She let out a cheer. "That means I get a vacation and a tan."
He rolled his eyes. "Do what you want."
Uraraka was a bit… lost? Maybe that wasn't the right word. She just didn't know what to do. She needed far more ways to fight at a distance. All of her training so far had revolved around hand-to-hand combat, which was good. If she could close the distance, she normally always won. Someone that could fly wouldn't be affected much, but that didn't stop them from not being near her in the first place.
Currently, her only form of ranged attack was throwing stuff at people. She would have asked Izuku, but she didn't like having to rely on her boyfriend for everything.
Sitting at her computer, thinking about any ideas she could come up with, she started thinking of the people who could help.
Aki was an idea, but fell into the same category as their boyfriend. Shino could possibly be of some help, but her older girlfriend hadn't been talking more than 5 words lately. She knew why, and while she could understand, she didn't feel like that made her love worth less.
She had spoken to Komori quite a lot recently, and it had actually gone pretty good. The girl was giddy and willing to wait for total approval from all of them. That made her feel a tad bad. She had no idea if Shino would ever say yes.
Shaking her head and getting back on to the topic, she thought of Momo. Her friend was a genius, no doubt, and she knew the girl had already made the improved gauntlet. That was very unlikely to help her problem though. Maybe the girl knew something else she could possibly do?
Pulling out her phone, she called the last person she had texted. They had spoken quite a bit over the last two days. Luckily, it was because Momo was pissed they didn't do more, and not because the girl was breaking down more.
It only took two rings for the girl to pick up. "Hello?" She heard the sloshing of water.
"Hey, it's Ochaco, I actually had a question."
"Shoot."
"I was actually thinking about my ranged combat options besides throwing stuff at people."
Momo snorted. "Giving up on baseball?"
She couldn't help the small smile that went across her face. Momo and Jiro had been calling her Slugger for weeks now. "You know what I mean, but I was wondering. Do you know of anything I can do?"
The sound of water shifting came through the mic as Momo adjusted. "I don't really have anything, but I can call Melissa and see if she has anything in mind? The last time I talked to her, she said she got a job."
"Really? That was fast."
"That's what I thought too, but apparently it's thanks to Mei. She got a job for her at her and Izuku's R&D company."
Izuku had told her about that. "Can you give me her number?"
"Sure, that'd probably be better anyway, kind of in the middle of a bath right now. I'll send the number to you as soon as I let you go."
"Thanks! I'll talk to you later."
"Bye bye!"
Hanging up, she waited for the number then called it. The phone nearly went to voice-mail before Melissa finally answered it.
"Hello?!" The girl was yelling into the phone, probably because of the very loud banging sound going on in the background.
"Uh, hi. This is Ochaco. I-."
"Give me one second! Let me get somewhere quiet!" The sound movement was followed by a very loud yell from the girl. "Mei! I'll be right back!"
If the inventor heard her and responded, the hammering of machines drowned her out. After a few seconds, she heard the squeaking of a door and the noise instantly died down. "Sorry about that. Who is this?"
"Hey Melissa. This is Ochaco."
"Oh! Hey! What's up? How are you doing?"
"Good, I was wondering if you could help me with something?"
"Support equipment?"
"Yeah."
Melissa hummed. "I could, but we're not exactly 'legal' right now. I'll get with Mei when I get a chance. Feel free to pop by with Izuku if you want to talk more about it."
"Sure!" She wouldn't mind seeing the building Izuku bought. "When are you taking a break? I can see if I can show up then?"
"I force Mei to have lunch around 2. So feel free to show up then."
That gave her an hour to get in contact with Izuku. Hopefully he wasn't training in another world. If he was, she could ask Aki. "I'll be there! See you soon!"
"See ya!" The line went dead.
With that settled, she looked at the email Shino had sent her a few days ago. It was strictly business and didn't mention anything personal.
Subject: Work Study Contact
Hey, this is Mandalay. I got in contact with a hero I think you'll want to meet. His name is Mr Ray. He's an underground hero that deals with sex traffickers, the drug trade, and general information gathering.
I talked with him a bit, and after some cajoling, he agreed to take you on next work study. Give him a call when you're free, he wants to talk to you a bit.
The number was typed below, and was already in her phone. Before she called though, she sent a text to Izuku, asking for a ride. With that done, she called her new mysterious tutor.
The call was answered immediately, but no one said anything.
"Hello?"
No answer.
"Uh, this is Uraraka? Mandalay told me to give you a call?"
The person on the other end finally answered. "So, you're the one who got rid of Ishikawa." It wasn't a question, so she didn't answer. "Mandalay says you want to help the girls trapped by people like him?"
"Yes sir. It makes me both sad and mad that someone could treat another person like that. I want to help people stuck in those situations."
"How do you plan on going about that?"
"Uh, isn't that what learning underneath you is for, sir?"
He chuckled. "Fair enough. I have to warn you though, this line of work isn't for the faint of heart. What you saw in Hosu was nothing compared to what my team and I see during our investigations. With that in mind, are you still sure you want to work with us?"
She had thought about it, which was why she hadn't called the guy immediately. "Yes sir, I want to make the world a better place."
"Very well. For your next work study, keep an eye out for my request."
She felt her excitement start bubbling. "Yes sir!"
"Have fun at camp, Uraraka."
"Thank you sir."
With that, the call ended and for the first time in a long time, she felt good. She was starting down a very dark path, one that she hoped would be a better place than how she found it. Sighing, she stood up and started getting ready for her little trip. Izuku hadn't got back to her yet, but it would only take him a minute to get here and there.
It wasn't until there was only ten minutes left that she decided to give Aki a text.
O: Hey sweetie do you mind doing me a favour? I need to get to Izuku's company and he's in another world.
Honestly, that was a crazy thing to say casually. That meant there was whole other worlds and dimensions out there! She wondered if that meant there was another her?
The chirp of her phone broke her from her musing, and set in curiosity.
A: You at home?
O: Yep
A: I'll open some portals in a minute. Send me a text when you want to go back.
O: kk
That was weird. Normally when they texted, the girl would type a mile a minute, ask questions, or just go with her. Something was clearly going on, but since she actually texted back, it wasn't too serious.
The portal opened directly in front of her door. She expected Aki to appear, but the girl never did. Confused, but shrugging it off, she took a step through into the massive forest, then into the other portal. What greeted her was a very wide two story building with a massive distance between it and its neighbors.
Walking to the front door, she tested the handle and was surprised to find it wasn't locked. Entering, she was stopped in her tracks. There were easily fifty copies of one man going around and setting furniture.
Standing at the top of the balcony that overlooked the main entrance, was what seemed to be the main body. Giving orders and writing stuff down, he didn't pay her any attention.
She watched as desks were built, then populated with small trinkets. Walls were torn down, then replaced with stacks of flat dark grey rock. Lights, being reached up to by stacks of the guy's clones, got replaced with brand new fixtures. It was kind of like watching those montages that sometimes happened in home improvement videos. It was a bit surreal.
"Ochaco!" She turned toward a set of double doors that opened. Completely covered in grease and sporting a massive smile, Melissa walked over. "Come on, Lunch showed up a bit before you. I got you something so you can sit with us."
"Thanks!" She followed the woman to a cafeteria. As she sat, she watched Melissa and Mei start scrubbing their faces, arms, and hands from the grease and grime.
Once they finished, both sat down and started eating. "So, what exactly are you here for?" Mei asked, in-between bites.
"I need a form of ranged combat. Anyone with any sort of range and speed can easily defeat me. I learned that on I-Island."
Mei nodded. "Uravity, quirk: Zero Gravity. Anything you touch is weightless, normally for ranged, you use debris as both bat and projectile. Even not being affected by gravity, items only go as fast as you can throw. Likewise, even if you pick up a massive column, it will only multiply your strength, not raise it. I can see why you need options."
It was unnerving that the girl probably knew everything about her, but she reasoned that she worked for Izuku. "Yeah, so any way you can help?"
Taking a bite of her tekkadon, the girl hummed. "Maybe, how are you with a gun?"
Her eyes widened as Melissa choked on her food. "A gun? I'm not going to shoot a person!"
Mei just grinned at her and smacked Melissa on the back, helping the girl from dying. "You won't be shooting bullets."
Melissa tilted her head. "What do you mean?"
The pink haired inventor smirked at her employee. "Miniature railgun inside her gauntlets that shoots those capture pellets I showed you."
"A what?" She asked.
Both girls grinned at her, causing her to gulp.
(Izuku)
Placing the last A/C unit in the building, he sighed. "Are we good to start?"
Misaki nodded. 'Should be, we'll need to test th-.'
"Who are you talking to?" Interrupted Pixie.
"Uhh." Shit.
Misaki shrugged. 'Easier to tell her the truth than to let her think you're crazy.'
Screw it. "I'm talking to my daughter." He said, as he started making his way toward their rune testing area. It was just a block of stone that Pixie had made up for him.
That statement seemed to make the blonde do a double take. "Daughter?"
He nodded. "Yep."
Pixie stood, walked over calmly, then proceeded to violently shake him by the shoulders. "What do you mean daughter? Are you okay? Do you need a doctor?"
"Pixie stop."
She let him go and looked at him expectantly.
'Can I try something?'
Mentally shrugging, he touched Pixie's exposed arm and let Misaki do her thing. After 2 seconds, he let go. To make sure he could actually introduce her, Misaki played the memory for him at the same time.
"Pixie, this is Misaki. She is the daughter of Shino and I." The fake girl in front of both of them waved with a smile.
"Hi, auntie."
Pixie's eyes went wide, but she didn't say anything. Continuing on, he explained Misaki's issues. "Now, Misaki lives inside my head, and I'm trying to figure out a way to create a body for her. Yes, Shino knows about her, they can even talk when I take her quirk."
Pixie was in a stupor, but she knelt down and got eye level with the girl. "Sh-she looks like Shino when she was young, except for her nose and eyes."
Fake Misaki didn't move or respond, but the one inside his head did. So, he explained. "What you're seeing is a 'memory', but it's not real. She sculpted that body and face from images of Shino when she was a kid and the memories of me, when I was younger."
"So, how is she Shino's kid? Isn't she just inside your head?"
He was about to lie his ass off. "So you know how my Mana allows me to do really weird things, including taking quirks and empowering them?" She nodded and stood as the fake Misaki shimmered away. "Well, when I first took her quirk, I felt something at the back of my mind. I didn't think anything of it, but eventually, a little voice spoke inside my head. She soon gained her own personality, likes, dislikes, and decided Shino was her mom."
Pixie side-eyed him, but eventually sighed and shook her head. "Fine. I'll believe you, but I expect to be allowed to babysit when she is real."
[Skill level up! Lying Lvl 7 - 8 xp: 32.5%]
He smiled as Misaki started requesting things to do. "All you'll need is Shino's permission. Misaki already agrees."
Pixie beamed. "Good." She looked over at the building. "Now, how much longer?"
"One more day? I need to test a few things then, I need to build the main battery."
Nodding, she made her way back to her chair. "Take your time."
Rolling his eyes, he went back to work. 'She took that remarkably well.'
His daughter snorted. 'Just proves that you're weird enough to not stand out when you do something crazy.' Smiling, he started working on a part of the scheme.
It was early afternoon of the next day that he finally drew the last scheme. It had taken Misaki using all the knowledge they had to even get this thing into a prototype stage, and then they had to test each individual part. After that, they had to test each part together, if they were connected in any way, and then they had to test different sequences with the other sequences.
Altogether, it led to the combining of nearly one thousand different schemes to make a prototype core. The small, ominous glowing multicolored ball of power was currently sitting in the inventory world. He'd need to figure out something to do with it eventually, but it wasn't that important right now. Unless it blew up of course. The chances of such a flaw was extremely low, thanks to both him and Misaki double checking everything.
As the final test was performed, he sighed in relief and made his way to the basement. The door leading downward was just down a hallway and locked with a regular deadbolt. He didn't think he'd need to make this super secure, he doubted any of his classmates would break into a room, go down into the basement, and then blow a ball of pure magic up on themselves. The room itself wasn't entirely massive, just big enough for him to have a five foot birth between him and the sphere.
He had already been down here once, to make the runes that connected to the runes that appliances gain power from. His [Engraving] skill had hit 60 a couple of days ago, and had unlocked a rune called transposing. On a small scale, if he drew two runes, they could interact with each other from afar. For the power system he needed to set up, he needed to have rune lines branching out the generator's containment field. The runes inside the field would be collectors and set to collect the raw magic in the field. That magic would then be transferred to a transposing rune connected by an amplifying rune. The reason for this was because if he had 32 transposing ends connected to a start, the power given to the start would spread out evenly amongst the ends.
Once it makes it across the transposing rune, the magical energy will be converted into electrical magic, then throttled. He had to experiment with different ways to ensure the appliances wouldn't get fried from too much electricity. He had gotten it to work with a weird set of dampening runes combined with amplifying runes. It had taken a lot of math and physics to figure how much magic each rune was getting, and subsequently how much electricity raw mana could be turned into. It had been a long few days to get all of this working and tested.
Getting to work, he started pulling out curved strips of hero metal. They were about three inches wide and two feet in length. Grabbing his engraving knife, he started drawing the necessary runes. When each one was done, he tossed it into the center of the room and used his quirk to grab it in the air. Making a small vortex in the center of where the ball would be, he made them circle and shift around each other. After nearly fifty strips of metal, he was done with the tedious part.
Taking four strips that were much longer than the others, he fused one end of each with each other making an 'x'. On that, he drew containment runes that would leak their energy into the air, letting the power steadily and safely build inside the containment circle he had already made. With that done, he picked it up with his gravity and placed it above the shifting strips of bent metal. Using his bare hands, he bent the x around the hovering mass of metal and combined it at the bottom.
His gravity naturally picked it up and made it slowly start spinning around the ever shifting metal. With that done, he only had one more step to do, light it up.
Holding his hand out to the sphere, he focused on his raw mana and pushed it out. Several of the strips started to glow, which caused a chain reaction. No longer being controlled by his gravity, thankfully, the sphere nearly crashed to the ground before picking itself up as the strips began to spin faster and faster. Eventually, they began to spin faster than a normal human could track and just became a solid mass of dark metal.
He waited for it to actually start, which took five minutes, but his first sign was the light it gave off. The pure mana that was being condensed and collected in the center of sphere was letting out multicolored light that made the room look like a rave. It was completely silent, as none of the metal was touching. That had taken forever to figure out.
When the light first started appearing. He turned on the containment field. The field would start getting magic from the sphere, which makes it a self-feeding system. As long as the sphere was letting off power, the containment field would keep working. Not needing an initial jump start, the collection runes drawn on the inside of the field came to life and started feeding the raw magic down the line. The transposing runes came to life a second later and with that, everything should be powered.
Giving himself and Misaki a pat on the back, he made his way back up to a lit hallway. Closing the door and locking it, he tossed the key into an inventory portal and went to the second floor. Going into the first room he came across, he tested the lights, and the A/C. Finding that they worked, he let out a sigh of relief and sat down on the empty bed.
The room was fairly simple and wouldn't win any awards, but there was a queen sized bed, a desk, and a closet. As for other appliances, there was a TV, and a small fridge, both of which worked. The TV could connect to phones, so as long as they had a movie on their phone, the TV was useful. He didn't have a way of getting interdimensional cable, yet.
"How's the barrier going?"
'Good!' Misaki happily announced. She appeared in his vision standing in front of him with a layout of the surrounding area. "So, since this is the ocean and most of the fish here are prey, we can keep them away with a very strong predator scent. That should keep all of the fish bigger than a dog away. As for the larger and more dangerous fish, we can use bolts of lightning to keep them away, eventually, after a few days of this, they should leave the beach alone."
The scene in front of her transitioned into a drawn up diagram of a cone like pillar. "I made a design that can accomplish both. Since the beach is situated on a pocket, we'll need about 10 of these to span the distance. They'll both make the scent and the anti-predator field." The scene shifted back and ten pillars plopped into the ocean. "These should keep the ocean safe. As for the forest, our best bet will be scent, again. Same thing with the pillars, but without the lightning capabilities. The design I made has a warning alarm, so if anything too big does approach, it will let out a shrill cry."
He smiled. "Good job, I knew you could do it."
She beamed at him. "Want to get started? It'll take a few days to get the fish to listen."
"Let's do it."
(Ochaco)
She had just gotten back from talking with the two crazy inventors, with a portal from Akito. The girl still didn't show herself, and even after a genuine question asking if something was wrong, she only got a short message back.
A: I'm fine, just busy.
Humming, she busied herself with some housework. Ever since her apartment had gotten destroyed in the blast, the prefecture was still rolling. She had been immensely lucky that she wasn't at home when it went off.
The apartment she was in had been paid for by Izuku and put her right next to the school. Her walk home from school was almost completely nonexistent now. Izuku offered her a room at his house, but she had waved away the offer. Not only would she be spending more time with him than the other girls, but that would lead to more 'encounters' with him.
Picking up some clothes, she floated them over to the clothes hamper and let them fall in. When that was done, she started doing the few dishes she had from the last few days. Soft music was playing in the background, with her humming along as she did dishes.
Her little cleaning session was halted when there was a knock at the door. Stopping the water and drying off her hands, she went to check who it was.
Standing outside, was a floating one piece with a towel wrapped around its waist. Toru had a backpack and a tote bag in one arm. "Ochaco! Open up!"
Did Toru actually live close to her now? She honestly had no idea, she hadn't said much besides the fact that she got a new apartment. She never mentioned the school. Opening up the door, she gave the girl a confused look. "Hey, Toru. What's up? How do you know where I live?"
The girl seemed to wave away her question. "No time! Get your bags packed for a week and grab a swimsuit!"
"Can you a-."
"Go!" Toru started pushing her into the apartment.
"Fine!" Going to her room, she started packing for a beach week from the sound of it. Or a pool? That'd be really weird though.
Finishing packing her things, she walked into the living room where Toru was inspecting everything. "Fancy place you got here. I kind of figured it would be upscale considering where you live, but this is nice."
She let out a nervous chuckle and scratched the back of her head. "After my last place got destroyed, Izuku paid for a new one and bought furniture for it. I think his mom picked it out."
All of the furniture in her three bedroom apartment was brand new and the walk-in closet was completely stocked with mostly new clothes. The few outfits that were with her when the explosion went off were in there, but barely touched anymore. Aki and Shino had taken it upon themselves to choose her outfits and have her give them a show.
Toru whistled. "If you ever need a roommate, give me a call. Anyway…" She trailed off as she pulled out her phone from her tote bag, and called someone. "Hey. Yeah, we're ready. Front door? Got it." With that, she hung up.
"Toru, where are we going?"
"Surprise."
She rolled her eyes at the answer. "Fine, how do you know where I live?"
"Izuku."
"Do you live near here?"
"Two blocks do-." She was interrupted by the sound of a swirling portal opening near her front door. Toru immediately pulled on her arm and started dragging her toward it. Though Toru didn't need to bother, knowing it was Izuku behind this, she happily went along with the girl.
Stepping through, they came to a very familiar sight. A secluded beach with jungle on either side of them and an expansive ocean directly in front. Whirling, she expected to see Aki's parent's beach house, but it wasn't there. Instead, there was a massive building that could easily hold forty people. She opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by her name being shouted.
"Ochaco! Over here!"
Looking over, she saw Momo, Jiro, and Tobu waving at them. Her and Toru cleared the distance, getting into the shade of the building.
"Your boyfriend owns a resort now, girl." Smiled Jiro.
"Why didn't you tell us about this?" Asked Momo.
She was going to say she didn't. Hell, she didn't even know how this was possible. Toru however, answered for her. "She didn't. Izuku told me to get her and don't tell her anything."
Tobu snickered. "Seeing her stunned expression was amusing."
The girl's shared a laugh at her expense. "Yeah, yeah. Laugh it up."
The sound of another portal opening hit the beach and they turned to see several of the boys walking out alongside the rest of the girls of their class and Class B.
The first person to clear the distance was Kendo, who wrapped her up into a hug. "I'm so glad you're okay! I didn't get to see you guys afterward!"
She did her best to return the hug, but her arms were pinned and the air was getting squeezed out of her. Tapping her arm, she tried to signal she was dying. Taking pity on her and letting her breath, Kendo dropped her. "Thanks. How's the Crew?"
Kendo sighed. "They're heartbroken, they'll get over it though."
A loud whistle pierced through the air and they all turned to see Izuku floating above all of the students. Smiling down at them, Izuku clued them all in. "Welcome everyone! As you may have noticed, we're on a beach and there is a resort on it!" He gestured to the building. "There are 60 furnished rooms in it, so feel free to take one. Boys and girls on separate floors, I expect my fellow president and our VPs to oversee that arrangement."
He got nods from said people. "We'll be here for a week of rest and relaxation. This however, does not mean a week will pass back home. In this world, a week here will be roughly 3 to 4 hours." That got them chattering. "Having said that, there is a kitchen, but it is unstaffed. You will need to make your own food, do we have any volunteers for head cooks?"
Sato, Momo, and Awase raised their hands. Izuku nodded to them and explained what they had to work with. "The kitchen is fully stocked and is suitable for ten people to work simultaneously. You three will work together to make up meals, and take any volunteers to help you."
At their nods, he continued to explain. "Now, there are some ground rules. There are pillars scattered out in both the water and the jungle around us. I do not suggest going past them. If you do, I cannot guarantee your safety. The jungle and ocean are filled with monsters you've never seen before and the pillars keep them at bay. If something truly massive gets close to the resort, there will be an alarm, I expect everyone to evacuate to the resort.
That's pretty much it for the rules. I don't want you guys to die. So, let me get to what there's to do. Everyday, starting tomorrow, I will be offering activities to do, these will include surfing, hiking, diving, and some smaller stuff like sports tournaments and fishing. These activities should only be done with me, as all take place outside of the barrier. If you have any questions, feel free to ask after you get settled. With that-" He gestured to the resort. "Make yourself at home."
The crowd of students began talking animatedly with each other, the president and VPs yelling for order as they began filtering into the building. Letting them go on ahead, she smiled and walked over to Izuku who lowered himself to the ground. "Hey." He smiled upon seeing her.
"Hey yourself." She let herself be pulled into a hug and a kiss.
"What do you think?" He asked when the kiss broke.
"When did you even have the time to build this?" She asked.
"Pixie and I spent the last week building. It was a pain getting everything I needed."
She shook her head and rested it on him. "So, do I get to spend the night with my boyfriend in the beach house, or am I relegated to a room?"
He snorted. "Like I'll let my girlfriend be anywhere else." She let out a yelp as he scooped her up and walked them toward the house.
Opening the door with his quirk, he set her down inside. "Go put your stuff away and get changed for swimming." Nodding, she did as she was told.
(Izuku)
He shut the door behind him as he went back toward the beach and his senses flared. Turning a bit, he saw Komori standing off to the side, the small part of her face he could see was a bright red.
"C-can I stay here too?"
'Yes.' Answered Misaki.
He mentally rolled his eyes. "If I allow it, you have to follow a few rules." She nodded. "First, no sneaking into my room at night. While I'm open to a relationship with you, that's not my decision. You have to get permission from the others. Second, there will be no arguing or yelling with Ochaco. She's a nice person, but if you overstep your bounds, she will say something and I will side with her. Third, keep your clothes on. The windows won't allow someone to peek inside, but that doesn't give you permission to walk around with nothing but panties on. Got it?"
The girl was a tomato red, but nodded.
"Okay." He opened the door for her. "Ochaco is putting her stuff away, ask her for help choosing a room and put your stuff away."
Hurriedly, she made her way inside, letting him close the door behind her.
Making his way back to the beach, he started pulling out umbrellas, and sports equipment. The easiest game to set up was volleyball, so he made up three courts for people to play in. As for the umbrellas, he stabbed them a good distance from the water and set up some chairs below them.
His senses told him someone was walking toward him at a leisurely pace. The voice that spoke was obviously Toru. "You know, I'm a bit jealous. Can I stay in the beach house?"
"Do you agree to follow some rules?" He explained at her nod.
"Don't know if the nude one applies to me, but sure." She joked.
He let out a laugh. "Fine, go ahead."
Letting out a woot, she threw herself at him and kissed his cheek. "You're amazing! Thanks!" With that, she ran off toward the house.
'Damn, I really hope we have a six-some some day.'
He let out a snort as he started taking stuff out again. He tossed volleyballs out to the nets, and pulled out a cabinet that he placed next to the stairway going up the outdoor seating for the resort. Inside was a random assortment of stuff. There was some kites, if someone felt inclined to fly one, stuff to build sand castles, a few sporting things that didn't need a net, like a football and some cones.
The last thing he took out was a shed, which was a bit tricky to do easily. Forming a hard platform of rock, he opened the portal wide enough for it and raised it, letting the shed fall out gently. Inside was camping stuff, like tents, fire starters, sleeping bags, and lanterns.
The first few groups of people started trickling out of the resort as he finished. "Enjoy your day. Tomorrow, if anyone is interested, we'll be going surfing. Spread the word!" The group nodded.
With that done, he walked back to the beach house and let himself in. The sight of three girls in swimsuits was what greeted him. Toru, who was already wearing one when she first got here, was talking animatedly with Ochaco, who was sporting a modest two piece compared to her last swimsuit. Komori was wearing the school one-piece and was adding a few words now and then.
Upon seeing him, they stopped their conversation. He held the door open for them and gestured outside. "Go have fun you three. I'll cook dinner for us and breakfast. For lunch you'll have to fend for yourself."
Komori nodded and shyly made her way out to the beach. Toru let out a cheer of free food, and went running past him. Ochaco smiled and sauntered up to him. "Bad Izuku, bringing two girls into the house, now I have to be quiet."
He shook his head and lifted her up, grabbing her butt in the process. Bring her to eye level with him, he whispered to her. "How about you be extra loud and scream my name? Drive them over the edge."
Ochaco bit her lip and seemed to actually consider it. "Maybe, we'll see. Komori and Toru are in the rooms right next to the master, so they would clearly hear me."
Giving her a wolfish grin, he kissed her deeply and massaged her butt. The action made a small moan escape from her, before he let her down. Breaking the kiss, leaving her breathless and red, he told her to go have fun. Giving him a nod, she made her way to the rest of the students.
Being alone, he took a moment to just rest. Walking up to the master bedroom, he went to the dresser and got himself some grey jogging pants and a tank-top. He wasn't planning on going out to spend time on the beach today. He was going to laze around, watch a movie or two, and cook before the girls got back. Tomorrow he'd spend time with the others and actually do stuff.
Going into the office, he started browsing the movies and picked one at random. He didn't honestly care what it was, he just needed something on so he wasn't sitting in silence. He was planning on spending this time talking to his daughter and trying to figure out a way to make a body for her.
He was almost willing to go back to earth and ask Methe for advice, but who knew how that would go. Grabbing a drink, he started the movie and laid back on the couch.
(Ochaco)
The president of B and all of the VPs had let the classes loose upon the beach and wiped their hands clean of their duties. Momo had taken a recliner beneath one of the many umbrellas propped up and just relaxed. Iida, after being asked, started forming a volleyball tournament with some of the boys. Shinso went swimming, while the 1-B president, now Shoda, after Shishida vacated the position, was helping several of the 1-B girls build a massive sand castle.
For herself, she decided to just take it easy and sit next to Momo. The girl gave her a smile as she sat down.
"How's it going?" She asked.
"Good! Getting the genders separated was fairly easy, the only issue we had was several of our classmates disappeared on us." Momo raised an eyebrow from behind her sunglasses. "Anything to say about that?"
Both her throat and mouth were dry. "Um, maybe? I'm staying with Izuku in the house. Toru and Komori from 1-B are with us."
Momo chuckled. "I'm just messing with you. I'm glad you and Izuku are doing well. You two are amazing together." With that, she closed her eyes and relaxed.
Copying her, she let the warm ocean breeze take her away.
Later that night
(Toru)
It had been a tiring day. Swimming, running around, and just talking had taken its toll on her. So when she had gotten back from the beach and made her way inside, Izuku had cleaned the sand off of her and handed her a plate of food. It was some sort of Italian dish that she couldn't pronounce the name of, but it was amazing. She didn't know he could cook, so that only added to more reasons why she was willing to date and share him. As they ate, they watched a movie together, and went to bed when it was done.
It was late into the night, and nearly pitch black out, the only light being the moons and thousands of stars. It was both peaceful and beautiful. The lapping of water on the beach could be heard through the open window, so she was nearly asleep before that was broken by gasps coming from the other side of the wall.
Her eyes went wide when she realized what it was. Taking the other pillow on the bed, she did her best to ignore it and tried to fall asleep. Unluckily, the noise didn't abate for nearly an hour and she was now completely pent up. Maybe staying with the obvious couple wasn't a good idea?
The next morning, she felt absolutely terrible and trudged her way down the stairs, alongside an equally tired Komori. Sitting at the dinner table was Ochaco, eating some pancakes, Izuku nowhere to be found.
The girl with a glow to her smiled at them, waving them over. "Izuku cooked for us and had to leave, something about setting up for surfing later today."
Begrudgingly, she took a seat and glared at the girl. "You need to be quiet, you kept me up." Komori nodded her agreement.
Ochaco went red and nervously laughed. "Sorry, he kind of made me do that."
"So it's torture is it?"
"Maybe? I don't really know." She shrugged.
Komori sighed. "Can you please ask him to make it quiet at least? I know he knows a spell for silencing stuff."
Ochaco nodded. "Yeah, sorry again."
They ate in silence for a little while, her energy coming back to her. "So, you made it all the way? Seems pretty far, what about the other girls?"
Ochaco sighed after a drink of juice. "Shino and I have gotten the furthest, but that's only ever been in one place, we never risked a baby. Akito has gotten to third, I think? I'm not entirely sure."
Her eyes widened imperceptibly. "You do it up the b-?"
Ochaco went red, but cut her off with a nod. "Yes. We agreed to never do the other one until every one was able. Akito has some issues to work out before then."
She let out a low whistle. "Bet that hurt like all hell."
"How was the first time?" Asked Komori.
Ochaco, still red, sighed. "It hurt, alot. I ended up passing out from the pain and pleasure. I've been making it easier on myself, but last night was still a bit painful. It hurts to walk right now, so I think I'm going to sit for most of the day."
She snorted. "We'll be sure to not be a pain in the ass for you."
Ochaco glared at her while Komori laughed. "Shouldn't find it too funny. If either of you are allowed in, then it's straight there for you." Her and Komori blanched at that. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to try and get into this.
The last day of vacation
(Izuku)
It was time for everyone to start heading home. Every single one of his classmates sported a tan and was openly smiling as they packed up. Being decent people, they picked up the stuff on the beach for him and made their way into the resort.
He had taken them diving to the nursery and reef, hiking up the nearby mountains, and surfing in the massive waves. They had even convinced him to go to the floating islands and let them explore yesterday. A few of them had to fight off some birds that tried going for them. They were massive things with a nearly 20 foot wingspan and three talons the size of his forearm on each foot. Their beaks were razor sharp and he had to heal a few cuts, but nothing major.
Ochaco, who was already packed, stood next to him. "What's your plan for Shino?"
He sighed. "I'll figure something out." Giving her a smile, he reassured her. "Don't worry, I won't let her get away, I know you like her as much as I do."
She blushed but smiled back. "It'd be nice to actually talk with her again."
When everyone was ready, he had them separate out by their nearest train station and sent them home. The only ones left were Kendo, Ochaco, Toru, and Komori. Two, Kendo and Komori, he was dropping off at home, and Toru lived down the street from Ochaco.
Kendo gave him a look. "You know, I don't know how I feel about being in the middle of this group."
He rolled his eyes. "Don't flatter yourself, all I ever think about now is your fight with Ochaco."
Ochaco snickered while Kendo sent a glare at him. Giving him a harrumph, she walked through the portal he made for them and he kissed Ochaco goodbye. Toru, not to be outdone, wrapped her arms around his head and kissed him on the cheek. Komori blushed at the gesture while Ochaco smirked. After that, she and Toru walked back into her apartment. Komori stood just next to him as they followed after Kendo.
Making it through and not sensing anyone in the portals anymore, he let them close. Kendo was waiting, her foot tapping against the concrete sidewalk. "Hurry up, I need to pack for camp, and I have plans before monday."
"Okay, jeez."
He followed Kendo to her house, which wasn't far away and bid her goodbye. Komori lived about four blocks down the road, so he took her home, where she gave him a very embarrassed kiss on the cheek and disappeared into the house.
"Well, that was fun. Let's go visit Methe."
They had decided to do this after nearly four hours of brainstorming when they realized they couldn't actually do this without help. They didn't doubt the goddess would ask for something in return though, which is what worried him.
When he got to the goddess' vineyard, he was surprised to find it extremely lively. Dozens of people were out tending to the fields, and the barn that was some distance away was swarmed with workers.
Not sensing the goddess in the house, he made his way over to the barn. He received a few curious looks from the tanned workers, some even shouted at him. After asking about where he could find the owner, he was led to some scaffolding overlooking some of the large machines. Barking orders to some of her workers, Methe was apparently trying to quell a fight between two workers. When she saw him, she sent a wave of power at the two workers. The men went down on their knees, holding their heads in pain.
"Lucas! I'm going on break, send those two home and dock their pay. I don't care who started it, only that it happened. Helena! Get on that forklift and get those barrels to storage."
The two named workers nodded and set about their tasks. Methe sighed as she joined him on the ground. She nodded her head toward the house. "Follow."
Letting her lead the way, he watched the goddess interact with her workers out in the field.
She smiled at a man as he drove a cart filled with boxes of grapes. "Nicholas! How are the kids?"
"Good! They just entered year three."
"Glad to hear it. Take those crates to Helena, Elias got sent home."
The man tipped his hat. "Yes Ma'am."
A woman approached soon after, talking in rapid fire Greek, which he could barely understand. She was complaining about the shitty tools they had just gotten.
"I'll handle it after my break. If you need to, get the old tools and spread them out. They may be dull, so warn them about injuries."
The woman nodded and called for a man to help her. The pair went to a shed not far from them and started distributing the tools to the workers.
When they entered her house, the goddess made a beeline for the bar and popped the cork out of a bottle. Drinking straight from it, she let out a sigh of satisfaction and looked at him. "What brings you here alone? Where are your little girlfriends?"
"Busy. I actually came here to ask for some advice."
The goddess raised an eyebrow, expectantly.
"Do you know of a way to create a living person with pure power? Do I need to be a god to do it, or can I do it now?"
She took a sip of her wine and looked at him with a curious look. Swallowing the alcohol, she asked him why he wanted to know.
"My daughter is stuck in my head and wants out."
Methe recoiled a bit. "She's stuck in your head?"
He nodded. "She was born from my quirk and has been there for almost a year now." Maybe a little off with some time dilation.
Humming, she took a final sip and stood up. Closing the distance between them, she grabbed his hand and the world sped by before it came crashing back to normalcy. His head was spinning and he heard Misaki cursing.
When his vision corrected itself, he looked to find Methe walking down the beach toward the ocean. They were on a small island somewhere cold as the trees were pine and the small snowflakes fell from the sky. The beach itself was small and covered in driftwood.
"Unn! Get your salty ass out here."
He was surprised when the water started churning and the form of a woman dressed in an old fishnet came from it. She looked at Methe, completely unimpressed with her insult. "Nice see you too, ya drunkard." She looked over at him and raised an eyebrow when she looked back at the goddess. "This him?"
Methe nodded. "Unn, Izuku, godling of universes. Izuku, Unn, goddess of waves."
She was beautiful. Not in a normal, pretty mundane way either. Her eyes were a striking sea green that peered through his soul. She was letting off a blue hue that made her white skin shine. Her hair was a beautiful gold that fell past her shoulders, covering her breasts. Speaking of, Misaki whistled and started drooling. The goddess had a massive set and her womanhood was on full display. The fishnet was draped around her, but it didn't hide anything. He suspected it was just for decoration.
He gave the lady a wave, which she didn't return. White water surged up to him as she closed the distance. Without warning, she took his face in her hands and started inspecting him. "He's well built, he looks like those warriors your family are so proud of."
Methe snorted. "Too bad he's taken."
Unn raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Oh? Who's the lucky lady?" She asked him.
"Uh, three, maybe five girls actually."
A grin went across the sea goddess' face. "Really now? Most gods don't do harems." She looked back at Methe. "Who was the last one?"
The goddess looked up in thought. "My dad?"
Unn shrugged. "Don't remember." She turned back to him. "Now, why did you two visit me?"
He looked to Methe, who answered. "The kid has a problem you're more suited to answer. He wants to create life with his power."
A look of shock went across Unn's face and she looked at him. "That's a risky move, if you screw up, part of your power will fade to nothing. It will take you centuries to get it back."
He sighed. "I have to try at least, my daughter deserves a life of her own."
Unn bit her lip for a second before finally nodding. "I will teach you, come."
The goddess led both him and Methe to the water's edge, where she opened a path through the water for them. They followed her into deeper water where they eventually arrived at an underwater cave. Unn sang a single note and several bioluminescent plants began lighting up the cave.
Walking over to a small puddle in the middle of the cave, Unn sat down and motioned for him to sit. As he sat next to the puddle, Methe walked over to what looked like a bar and reached behind it for a bottle of booze.
Unn ignored her friend and began her explanation. "Anyone with some divine energy is capable of creating a new life. The problem is that you have to be extremely careful. Use too much of your divine energy, you lose all of it and are incapable of controlling the energy, making the energy fade. Use too little and the energy fails to take shape."
Waving her hands over the pond, she brought a ball of water up to her hands. "When a god creates another life, especially another godling or god, they need to think of a purpose. For a normal mortal, the purpose needs to be simpler since you're creating such a weak being. For a godling, the purpose is normally the domains you're giving them. The domains you're giving them must be at their strongest. Being a godling of universes, if you were to pass on your fire, you will need to encompass yourself in fire."
The ball of water began to glow with a light blue hue. "Awaken young one." With a shudder, the ball of water took the shape of a fish.
It excitedly swam around, kissing Unn on the cheek and went flying out into the ocean.
"What purpose did you give it?"
She smiled. "To explore the waters outside of the cave." At his confused look, she explained. "The purpose doesn't need to be something grand or amazing. Just know that doing something like this will reduce your overall energy, so be careful."
He nodded and took the warning to heart. "How do I channel my energy? How do I control the energy output?"
"Close your eyes and focus on your domains. The energy will come to you the more you focus. Give it a try."
Closing his eyes, he focused on the power he used all the time. Misaki kept quiet as he did this, she was serious about getting a body. The sun that was held inside of him came to view and he focused in on it. His view expanded out to a massive star view, hundreds of stars blazing in the dark. Focusing more on it, he watched as the stars began exploding, swirling in a chaotic pattern with no rhyme or reason. Small motes of swirling dust began forming.
"Good, now bring the energy outward, let your energy flow through your pores, ears, eyes, mouth, every opening you can think of. Let the energy flood the place around you."
Taking a breath, he let the chaotic pattern of space dust and power flow through him. It didn't want to do so, but at his command, it began flowing out of his body.
"Open your eyes." Unn whispered.
When he did, he came nose to nose with the goddess who was glowing even stronger and grinning like a fool. "You're strong Izuku. Even being a godling, you hold a lot of power. What are your other domains?"
He gulped. "Uh- Methe says Heroes."
The goddess grinned and straddled his lap. "Try focusing on my skin, the heat of my body."
He could feel his body reacting already. Closing his eyes, he did as he was told. Her skin was cool, but contained a heat that felt otherworldly. He felt her groin rub against him, the surge of lust flooding through his body. The tips of her fingers that rubbed against his neck left scorching lines that heated up his body further.
She nibbled on his ear as she whispered to him. "Goood." She cooed. "Now bring that energy outward, flood the air. Show me your lust, your desire, your passion."
As he tried doing so, he felt an overwhelming sense of power flow through him. He opened his eyes to find the goddess breathing hard and resisting the urge to take him there. "You have the domain of love, no wonder you can attract a harem."
His eyes widened. "Is that the only reason why they agreed to it?"
Unn shook her head and rubbed a hand down his chest. "You didn't unlock this power until just now."
He let out a sigh of relief. "So what now?"
She smiled, looking him in his eyes, her pupils were dilated. "Look at your hands." Curious, he lifted up a hand and was shocked to find his bronzed skin letting off a purple glow. "You're one step closer to becoming a god now. Once your energy is like this, it's like controlling an ethereal version of your body, it takes practice."
"How do I practice?" He ignored the hand that ran through his hair.
A lust filled grin went across her face. "Use your domain to the fullest. For your universe domain, I suggest trying to control and sway the universe to your whims. For heroes, you should become a better symbol of heroes." With one hand, the shirt he was wearing was torn open. "For love, any type of sex or love will help a lot. Want to begin?"
"Uhhh-n-no?" He wasn't willing to cheat.
Methe walked over and slapped Unn on the back of the head. "I know you haven't gotten laid since the gods left, but you're acting a bit too desperate."
Unn scowled at Methe. "I'm not the one who sleeps around with any mortal who catches my fancy, slut."
Methe rolled her eyes. "Is your lesson done? I need to get back to work."
The sea goddess huffed and got off him. "Fine." She looked at him, disappointment clearly on her face. "You'll be able to tell when you can control the energy. If you improve your control over the love domain, you'll start getting better and better in bed. You'll also start catching the eye of more people."
Sighing, he stood up and got rid of the shirt. It was useless now. He saw Unn lick her lips at his exposed abs. "Thank you for the help."
She winked at him. "Come back any time, especially if you wanna 'swim' together."
Methe rolled her eyes and grabbed his shoulder. Once again, the world flew by until it stopped. The second time was far easier than the first. "What is that anyway?"
Methe answered the question and she put the cork back into the bottle. "Flashing, it's a god's version of travel. It's like flying at the speed of light. Wherever light can reach, you can go. I'll help you once you become a god."
He nodded. "Thank you for the help Methe. You have no idea how much this means to me."
The goddess rolled her eyes. "A real thank you would be becoming a god. I'm tired of living as a mortal."
He tilted his head. "Why do you live as a mortal?"
She scoffed. "And throw the world into chaos? No."
The days leading up to camp went by quickly. He hadn't heard from Aki, which was a bit worrying, but he knew he could trust her. His days had been spent training his universe domain. He had thrown himself into far away space and started trying to mess with the flow of the universe around him. He hadn't managed to do anything, but he figured it would become easier with time.
Ochaco, being his only girlfriend to talk to him lately, was taken on many small dates and a lot of making out had been done. She had appreciated the gestures, but had been contacting the other girls for him to try and smooth everything over.
Other than that, the days had been rather boring. The only thing interesting that happened was his talk with Misaki. They had figured out what domains he was giving her at her request and what was needed to make her body.
When the time came, he would draw some fire proof runes on Shino and have passionate love with her in a blazing inferno. From there, the goddess of light and love would be born. Misaki was excited and already making plans for what she was going to do.
Stepping through a portal, he listened to Misaki talking about the different 'forms' she would have. He could only shake his head in amusement at the child-like behavior.
Walking to the gymnasium that they were using as a meeting point, he met up with Aizawa and Vlad. Giving both of them a bow, he greeted them. "Hello sirs."
"Midoriya." Vlad bowed back.
Aizawa nodded at him. "Midoriya." After a second, he explained what was expected of him. "After the Pussycats start their training, we'll be going to the dorm and you'll be helping wherever they need you. Tonight, Mandalay will be giving you and Pixie-Bob a list of structures to build."
"That's fine. Question though?"
"Yes?"
"Am I going to be training alongside everyone?"
Aizawa shook his head. "We're hoping you will assist the Pussycats in training your classmates. Check on who you can and answer any questions you can for them. You know almost everything that they're going to go through. During the night, when you're not busy, you're free to train as much as you want."
"That's fine, but I don't imagine they'll need much help."
Aizawa smirked. "Welcome to watching people actually grow up."
Vlad smiled alongside him. "Eventually as a homeroom teacher, you see your students grow up enough that they stop coming to you with every issue."
"Doesn't mean that they don't still need help sometimes."
Mr Kan nodded alongside what Mr Aizawa said. "Even if they grow up, they can still be blind to stuff they've grown used to."
He nodded. "So keep an eye out for ways they're using their quirks wrong and show different ways?"
Aizawa shook his head. "No, at least not today. When it comes to making your quirk stronger, you need to use it however it's most comfortable for you. If you tell them some other way and they're not comfortable, they won't put their all into it."
"So, just be a voice of confidence and assist them with putting their most into quirk usage?"
Vlad nodded and gave him a thumbs up. "You got it."
'Being a teacher sounds boring.'
Smiling, he nodded at the two of them and waited.
As the minutes went by, Class 1-A and 1-B started trickling into gym Gamma. He was glad to see Ochaco talking animatedly with Kinoko, who went pink, when she caught him looking.
When the last pair, Jirou and Tobu, walked through the door, Nezu joined them alongside All Might in his skeletal form. "I'm glad everyone was able to make it on time!" Said Nezu with a smile. "Did everyone drop their bags off with the teachers?" When no one said anything, he continued. "Good. Now that we're ready, I'll give you a few rules to follow, but first." The principal looked at him. "Midoriya?"
Nodding he built up the energy in his fingertips. 'Try to keep it contained to the group, I don't want to get the support students mad at me.' She nodded and did as he asked. Letting the energy go with a snap, a sharp crack of energy appeared and detonated around the group of students. With the help of Miriko, they were able to figure out a few of the hints for his powers. Blackout was a charged version of a Solar Storm without any heat.
His hearing picked up two sounds of electronics sizzling, one came from their spy and the other came from Iida. He had no idea what that was about, but he nodded at Nezu. The principal turned back to the students and smiled. "Now, rule #1 is 'You have to try your hardest no matter what'. #2, 'Respect any rules and orders that your trainers will be giving you.' #3, 'In case of an emergency, all students are to report to the main building immediately, no exceptions.' Do I make myself clear?"
All the students nodded. "Good, Aizawa?"
Taking a step forward, the tired man gained the command and the attention of the students. "We will be using Izuku's ability to teleport to go to the mountains and be trained by the Pussycats in their mountain home. Are there any questions?" Several hands raised. "Rin?"
"What type of training will we be undergoing? How will it be any different from what we've done?"
Vlad answered his student, taking a step forward and making himself heard. "For nearly two months each of you has been pushed to adapt your quirks and skills to new territories that you have yet to explore. The training you will be undergoing will be pushing your quirks to their breaking points and strengthening them. Your quirk is a muscle, break it and it will come back stronger."
Aizawa continued. "You will be pushed harder than you have ever been pushed before, your bodies will be more tired than ever before. You will collapse and stand stronger than ever, we will make you stronger even if you want to collapse. Once we start, you will not rest or have a break until we are done for the day, prepare yourself."
"Anything else?", asked Vlad. "Kendo?"
"You said we have emergency plans, is there a chance of an attack?"
"Unknown, we are preparing for all possibilities, especially after USJ. Bakugo?"
"Do we have permission to defend ourselves if we can't run?"
Aizawa nodded. "In advance, just in case it does happen. You all have our permission to defend yourself if you are attacked, you do not have permission to go on the offensive however." No one else's hands were raised so his homeroom teacher turned to him. "Midoriya?"
Nodding, he opened the portals and took a step to the side to allow his classmates to go through. "All good."
Turning back to the class, Aizawa spoke to the class. "Form a single file line and proceed through the portal, once you are there you will receive further instructions from the Pussycats."
As his classmates followed orders and walked through the portal, he received a small wave from Kinoko and a wink from Ochaco. When the last students were through, the teachers gave him permission to close the portals and they walked to where the luggage was.
Nezu, riding All Might's shoulder, spoke to the teachers who had just finished the last of the luggage. "Any problems?"
Midnight smiled. "All clear, we did find a few 'restricted' items, but they were confiscated." She finished with a wink at him. It took a second, but he pieced it together. It made him curious as to what couples had formed recently. Unless she meant 'personal' products, but he wasn't going to ask.
Nezu nodded. "Izuku, care to do the honors?"
Nodding, he opened a portal to the dormitory and used his gravity to pick up all the luggage. "List please."
Aizawa handed him the paper and followed him through alongside Vlad. Before they were fully through, Nezu smiled and waved. "Open a portal if you need us! Have fun!"
Waving to the teachers, he passed through the portal and started separating out the luggage to their assigned rooms. He was curious as to what the team was making his classmates do.
(Shino)
She couldn't help the glare that formed when she saw the mushroom girl talking to Ochaco. After making it back home the day they discovered she was a goddess, she had cried. She wasn't proud of it, but she couldn't help it. When the team got home from a day of shopping, Pixie and Ragdoll entered her room to drop off a gift and discovered her curled up on her bed. After nearly three hours of talking, she was done crying, but she was still mad. A little bit at everyone involved, but mostly at that damned bitch of a goddess.
Being the leader of the group and the normal speaker for them, she spoke to the gathering of students and pointed to their home. "You see that mountain over there?" All of them looked out at the distance, most of them turned back with a nod. "Reach it before nightfall, if you do, you get dinner, if you don't then you go to sleep hungry." She turned to her teammate that had a vicious smile on her face. "Pixie, drop'em."
The students who knew about Pixie's quirk, tried to run toward them, but Pixie was faster and more prepared. With a stomp of her foot, the side of the mountain dropped out from below the students and dropped them into the forest below. All except one, she gave Kinoko a glare and earned a gulp, causing the girl to drop herself to join her class.
Pixie gave her a nervous smile. "You okay?"
Shrugging, she said. 'Make sure to push them hard, no holding back, this is the most prepared class we've ever had, amp up everything. I want to see them barely standing when they reach the mountain.'
Her teammate looked scared of her but nodded and turned to the forest. She felt the orange and purple radiating off her friend as the earth around them answered her call. "Forest of Ironside Monsters!" The ground rumbled and Pixie collapsed to one knee, breathing heavily. Dealing with 39 highly trained students took a great deal of work, but she knew Pixie could do it. Her friend, who was already their powerhouse, only grew in leaps in bounds having to constantly train for and against Lion. Walking over, she helped Pixie up and earned a smile from her. "That should keep them busy. I taught Iwakuzu a dozen or so new forms, and how to summon iron."
Nodding, she helped her friend into the car and started the drive back. As they began to drive away, they saw massive pillars of ice and rock. Following that, a massive blast of fire scorched the forest. She took a mental note to call in Canopy after this was done.
By the time they got back, Tiger and Ragdoll were talking to Izuku alongside both of the teachers. She didn't manage to catch the conversation, but when they pulled up, the two teachers turned to them. "Any problems?", asked Aizawa.
She shook her head. 'We had a few tries to avoid the fall, but they all made it down eventually.'
He nodded and bid the group goodbye as he walked to his dorm room for a nap. Tiger and Vlad excused themselves to double check the stuff for tomorrow. That left the four of them to cook for the classes, which was fine since Izuku could actually cook now. "Let's get started, I want to get done early in case they get here faster than planned." She had no doubt that the combined classes could make it on time, whether they were all standing was another thing.
(Izuku)
As Shino passed him, he heard a very faint and very sad thought in his head. 'Sorry.'
Smirking to himself as he followed her with Pixie and Ragdoll at his side, he summoned his gravity. Very lightly, he ran an arm of gravity down her back to the edge of her butt. He saw the goosebumps form on her exposed skin and heard the quickened pace of her heart as she turned back to him. Her face sported a frown, but she had a healthy dosing of pink dusting her cheeks. Without saying anything, she turned back around, causing Pixie and Ragdoll to giggle.
An hour into cooking, Misaki gave him an idea. Smiling, he picked up a small ball of flour with his gravity and sent it flying at Ragdoll's forehead. For the small bit of effort, he earned a stunned reaction which morphed into a grin, she attacked Shino, who went for Pixie. From there, a massive flour fight occurred and by the time they were finished, the room was hazy forcing them out of the kitchen to breathe. Collecting all of the flour in the air to a condensed ball in front of him, he cleared out the kitchen and cast a spell at the flour. "[Purify]."
When the spell had run its course, they reentered and as Shino got back to working, Pixie started laughing hard enough she had to take a knee. Ragdoll, who looked where Pixie started looking, followed suit and joined her friend on the ground. He ignored all of it and continued to cook like normal. Shino turned to her friends in confusion, and turned to look behind her, causing a glare to be pointed at him. He didn't bother dodging the smack to the back of his head, but he did smile. 'Clean it.'
Rolling his eyes, he faked sounding disappointed. "Fiiine." Using his gravity, he collected the flour that he left there when he slapped her butt.
(Ochaco)
Running forward, she helped Tsu smash the iron golems into the ground. Stopping to take a breath, she tried to stop herself from heaving up what little food she had in her stomach.
"[Shellbug]!" At the call of Kinoko, a shell of earth wrapped around Koda and protected him from a shard of iron that went for him. She was never more glad that Kinoko was taught by Izuku than now. The girl was playing support right now and was keeping everyone she could from collapsing on the spot. When she had a free chance to attack, she'd unleash an attack that would easily take out a few of the golems. Before they started running deeper into the forest, the girl had asked her to keep an eye out on her because of her mana. So far, she seemed to be doing fine, but only time would tell.
She had no idea what Pixie had done to cause the golems to get even stronger, but it was a little much. Picking herself up, she ran forward and smacked Rin on the back, the boy nodded and shouted for Tsu to throw him. Following his order, her friend wrapped him and threw him like a baseball at the flying golem. How it was flying, who the fuck knew. Carefully timing his drop, she waited until Rin was above the golem and released. She watched as what she could only describe as a knight dropped onto the golem and exploded into a scaly bomb that brought the golem down to earth. Riding it down, Rin used the force of its bounce to drive his sword deeper into it, effectively killing it.
With that golem taken down, she ran forward with the group and grabbed a chunk of destroyed golem. "Comet throw!" Doing a spin, she threw the chunk and tossed it as hard as she could at another golem. Releasing it as it was about to hit, the golem rocked backward and fell over, leaving it open for Kirishima to start smashing into it. She was heaving, she didn't know how much longer she could keep going.
Boom!
An explosion erupted taking out a few of the golems and created an opening for the group to run forward. Taking the chance given to them by Bakugo, the group ran forward and she threw Jiro into the air. When she heard the girl shout her attack, she dropped her so she wouldn't go flying. Her friend's new speakers were capable of handling an even greater amount of force being put into them and it showed. "400!" She both felt and heard the shockwave rock forward, luckily the speakers weren't pointed at her, because the attack actually started cracking the rock it hit. When the attack died out, Jiro dropped, forcing her to catch the girl.
With them being weakened, Awase and Kaibara smashed into two of the golems, shattering them into pieces. The rest were taken out by a massive stack of stone words that appeared courtesy of Fukidashi. Making sure Jiro had her footing, they continued to run forward. "Watch out!"
Not knowing who called it, but willing to follow the shout, she and Jiro dived to the side. As they did so, they barely dodged a massive boulder that was aimed for them. What the fuck was Pixie thinking?
"[Shape Earth]!" She watched as a massive wall of dirt and stone formed facing the direction of an oncoming boulder. "Shoto!"
A massive spear of ice formed and raced toward the responsible golem and encased it in ice. Shoto shouted at the small group that had to stop to dodge. "Go!"
"Bring it you bastards!" Bakugo launched himself at a group of 5 golems.
Helping up Kaminari, she raced forward to join the rest of the group and watched Kendo, who was acting as the spearhead, launch herself at the golems in front of her. "Earth Shaker!" Slamming her fist into a golem, the thing shook and then collapsed into pieces. Her supporters, Monoma and Shoda, slammed into the two golems that tried to go for Kendo, then followed her forward.
"Shiozaki!" Both her and Kaminari turned to look back at the call and watched as said girl was grabbed by the ground.
Without missing a beat, Kaminari held out a hand. "Throw me." Nodding, she slapped his arm and threw him with a spin. Her stomach retched, but she kept it down, just barely. "Lightning God's Speed!"
Being weightless and having a ridiculous amount of speed, her classmate was nothing more than a black and yellow blur. She didn't stop to look, but she heard what he did. "Back off!" His shout was followed by the sound of earth shattering and before she could register it, Shiozaki was standing next to her with an ill looking Kaminari.
"Th-thank you." She could tell the vine haired student wasn't used to having to run.
"No problem." Kaminari proceeded to throw up and unleash his electricity from the ability while running and didn't fall only thanks to Shiozaki who grabbed him.
"I-I really hope we are close." She huffed out.
Shiozaki nodded, breathing hard.
Unluckily for them, they had only reached the halfway point.
By the time they had reached the end of the forest, she had thrown up twice and dry heaved three times. Kaminari had to be a rescuer a few more times and ended becoming his loopyself, forcing Shiozaki to carry him. She also had to act as Kinoko and Rin's transport as the girl had collapsed due to emptying out her Mana and Rin was barely able to stand as he was becoming Iron-deficient from overusing his quirk. When she crossed the threshold of the forest, she collapsed on the ground and laid there, wishing to die.
(Izuku)
He smiled alongside Pixie and Shino as his classmates finally exited the forest. Most collapsed, including Ochaco, but there were a few he was particularly proud of for remaining on their feet. He was proud of all of them, but seeing Bakugo, Kendo, Kirishima, and Todoroki still standing was a great reason for him to smile. Walking over after Shino called it, he picked up Ochaco and forced her hands to touch and picked up the two she was carrying with his gravity. "[Healing Light]."
Stopping himself from showing how much it hurt to cast, he waited for the spell to work. Ochaco smiled a bit at him and snuggled into his hold as the spell healed everyone. When the spell worked its magic, Shino called for all of them to head to the mess hall for dinner. "Want down?"
Keeping her eyes closed, she shook her head. "I'm good."
Rolling his eyes, he talked to Kinoko who was shakily standing. Checking her mana, she was just below 100 Mana, so no spells from her for a while. "Want help?"
She nodded, nearly tripping over herself. "Please."
Calling on his gravity, he picked her up and floated her alongside them. "How'd you do?"
"I think pretty well, the plan went off without a hitch, the Class Reps were able to create a plan that worked for everyone."
"Oh? What were everyone's roles?"
"Support." Mumbled Ochaco.
"Defense and attack when able.", said Kinoko.
Shiozaki, who was behind them, answered him too. "Defense if we had to stop."
"Kendo was our spearhead, I'm surprised she's still standing." praised Kinoko.
He wasn't. His best friend was tough as nails and he knew she could go toe to toe with a pro nowadays. Well, as long as they didn't have a ridiculous quirk. He had spent quite a bit of time giving her the specialized training she requested and the results showed. Even before he healed her, the brawler's fists were in near perfect condition, though her gloves were done for.
"What were Bakugo and Shoto doing?"
Kinoko answered, "Bakugo was sweeping and Todoroki was large-scale protection and attack."
He nodded, good plan.
Entering the mess hall, he set Ochaco down and started serving the food for everyone alongside the Pussycats. The rest of the night was spent listening to the trek here from different points of view for him.
(Toga)
"Yeah I see him."
"Any equipment on him?"
"Nah, he's just leaning back and watching something on his phone."
"Keep watch and report back if anything changes."
"I know Dabi, I don't need you to remind me of every little detail." There wasn't a response, but she felt a response in her soul and added. "Fuck you."
The next person on the radio was Twice, who was laughing. "Hahahahaha, you got him! That wasn't funny!"
Smiling, she turned off the radio and snuggled deeper into her blanket as she watched the boring little man laying down. Being the most quiet and the most used to sitting in one place for hours on end, her unlucky job was to be a scout.
Boredom driving her mind to its most boring ability, she started reciting the plan in her head. They were to wait for two of their heavy hitters to show up and once they did, she was to play forward scout and go deeper into the forest toward the camp grounds. She'd have to leave the radio behind, but she was given several things to make her more invisible to the "Mini-boss" among the students. She had no idea why Tomura insisted on using stupid game terms, but she wasn't the one making decisions.
An hour later, the man yawned and retreated to his tent. Before he went to sleep however, she watched as he set up some type of camera and fed a line into the tent. With the fear of being caught, she slipped on the amulet Manic had given her and felt a cool energy pass throughout her body. According to the annoying man, the amulet would make her invisible to electronics and a special type of sight that Midoriya had. When the man extinguished his campfire and turned out the small light in his tent, she finally let herself nod off, tired of watching him.
Chapter Done!
