I did the math. Carry On may go into 2027. Jesus. 223 weeks of chapters planned, not counting future Good Loser chapters.
Assuming a majority of them are 2 parters…or 3 parters… it could either be 446 more chapters or even 669.
Anyways, here's your chapter. Here's the Discord: /cgFmXz3qJ5
"Oh, CRAP-!" Ochako yelled, before reaching for her Omnitrix. Things were already pretty chaotic, one small transformation to break her fall wasn't going to hurt. Ochako morphed into Upgrade, and landed on the ground with a splat.
Ochako reformed, and quickly reverted. She was the first one to reach the ground, it seemed. Everyone else landed soon after, having their falls broken by the dirt.
Ochako blinked. She totally overreacted with the transformation, but still. Dangerous situation.
"This is our territory, so feel free to use your quirks! You've got three hours to reach the facility on foot!" Mandalay yelled. "Make it through...THE BEAST'S FOREST!"
Izuku coughed up some dirt in his mouth. "The Beast's Forest!?" He repeated.
"Seriously? It's like a name straight out of Dragon Quest." Kaminari scoffed as he brushed himself off.
"UA's got too many weird connections." Satou said, helping the others up.
"No point in complaining, class." Iida said, clapping his hands. "We'd better start moving towards the-"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mineta yelled.
"Mineta?!" Iida yelled, as the boy bolted past him.
"I JUST WANTED TO USE THE BATHROOOOOOOOOOOM!" Mineta yelled, as something roared in the back.
The trees shook behind him as something lumbered its way out of the forest to greet them. It was at least the size of the bus that brought them all here, whatever it was. The beast's hide was scaly and dull brown, matching the dirt it walked on and it sported two massive tusks flanking its maw. A giant tail slammed down behind it as it growled and locked eyes with the group of students.
"Oh you've gotta be KIDDING ME!" Kaminari yelled.
"We're dead. So very, very dead," Sero deadpanned. The giant monster growled and lowered itself, readying to pounce like a big cat.
"W-wait! Stop! My giant friend, we don't mean you any harm! We're just passing through! Please, just stay calm!" Koda pleaded with the new arrival. It seemed to ignore his Ani-Voice entirely and lunged out at the nearest students, which in this case were Toruu and Mina.
Mina's fear vanished quickly as she grabbed the invisible girl and pulled her out of the way of the beast's attack. The impact of the monster kicked up a massive dust cloud before it turned and whipped its tail at Todoroki and Tokoyami, knocking the duo off their feet.
Wait, Koda's Quirk should've calmed it at least a bit. Is it possible that its immune? Izuku thought to himself. The earthen monster shook itself off like it was clearing off snow stuck on its body. It was during that shake-off that Izuku noticed a piece of its cheek come off, revealing nothing but shadow behind it.
A piece of dirt...that's no animal. This is Pixie-Bob's Quirk!
Izuku started focusing on his Full Cowling, letting his quirk run through his entire body. He took a deep breath, before jumping into the air. Using his shoot style, Izuku axe kicked the beast's head in. The attack was incredibly effective, causing it to crumble in a second.
"Alright, Deku!" Kirishima yelled. "That beast's good as gone!"
"You really think that's it?" Bakugou asked.
"He's right," Iida admitted, "I doubt one little beast would be all that's in store for us here."
"DID YOUR GLASSES GET FOGGED?!" Mineta yelled.
"Figure of speech, Mineta!"
Bakugou's prediction was right- within seconds, more and more beasts of varying shapes and sizes shot out of the ground. Pixie-Bob was being creative with these forms; among the menagerie of beasts was dragons and drakes, centipedes and giant worms and other creatures that were nightmare inducing.
Mina groaned. "I thought they'd ease us INTO this sort of stuff!"
"Would villains?" Tokoyami asked. He did have a point.
"This is gonna be a looong three hours," Kirishima said, hardening his arms for the fight ahead.
"Assuming this goes for three hours." Ochako said, looking around for something to levitate. Her eyes locked on Kirishima.
"...why are you looking at me like that?" Kirishima asked.
"I wanna do something stupid and fun." Ochako said.
Kirishima blinked. "...screw it, I'm in."
"You do that," Bakugou growled and got his Quirk ready, "I'll focus on actually doing something useful."
Bakugou blasted into action, and began mercilessly bombarding all the beasts. He was throwing out a rush of attacks, like he was letting out a bunch of pent up rage.
"...Maybe we should just let him cut loose." Sero said. "It gets easier for us."
"Maybe...but at the same time, we shouldn't have him do everything," Iida countered.
"And we'll never learn if we don't do any of this ourselves." Momo said, producing some tools from her arm. "Mina, Jirou- take these!"
"Ooh, the acid gauntlets again!" Mina beamed, slipping them on while Jirou grabbed replicas of the tools she used in the exam. She slipped those on and nodded as she looked them over.
"They don't look that sturdy. Pretty much glass cannons...shaking them apart should be easy," Jirou added.
"A lot of us are just gonna have to brute force it." Iida said. "And sadly, I'm going to have to ruin these pants."
"Relatable!" Mineta said.
Iida scrounged his nose. "Gross."
"Ok, so, ignoring that," Tooru said, "Let's...uh...try not to die?"
"Not very inspiring," Kaminari said.
"I'm working on the inspiring speech thing ok?"
Ochako grabbed Kirishima, and removed his gravity. "Alright. Just harden when I say so!"
"I-uh, alright?!" Kirishima said.
Ochako nodded to herself...and then grabbed Kirishima by the ankle and raced into the fray.
"Wait, what?!" Kirishima asked.
"Harden! Now!" Ochako grinned as Kirishima hardened his whole body. She swung her classmate like a bat at the nearest golem-beast with a heavy homerun swing and shattered both of its legs. Using the same momentum, she spun and brought Kirishima back around to bash the Quirk-made monster's head to pieces.
"Ok...you're right," Kirishima said, "This is dumb. And hella fun!"
"It's the only way I can really fight these things without-!" Ochako motioned to the Omnitrix. "Y'know!"
"Oh, no, I get it! Fully understand it! Just a little more warning would be nice!"
"Next time!" Ochako promised, continuing on her own batting spree.
Iida sped past the two, and spear kicked his way through a beast's chest, causing it to crumble. The kid tumbled on the ground, but quickly recovered.
A boar-like creature charged at Iida with its tusks lowered, ready to slam into the speedster. A massive ice spear pierced the earthen boar and shattered it apart, courtesy of Todoroki. Izuku, meanwhile, punched through another bipedal monster and scattered its earthen pieces across the ground.
The students were all doing their best to fight off the seemingly endless army of earthen constructs summoned up by Pixie-Bob's powers. Despite the seemingly infinite numbers, the group had made some good progress in the forest, having marched on for maybe half an hour and, even if they were tired, they still had energy left in them.
Ochako was leaning up against a tree to catch her breath, Kirishima had taken a seat on a fallen tree to relax and regain a bit of stamina, and even Bakugou, who usually wouldn't show a hint of weakness, was feeling the drain. Granted, working up a sweat was a winning scenario thanks to his Quirk, but plentiful ammo is useless with limited stamina. Iida, meanwhile, tried to keep a straight face throughout this whole march, even if it felt like his muscles were already on fire from all the fighting. He was the class representative after all and he needed to inspire the rest somehow, keep their morale up.
Izuku stopped to take a quick breather. "I-is it just me, or does this battle just feel endless?" Ochako asked.
"Pixie-Bob's quirk allows her to effortlessly control the Earth- it's stupidly overpowered like that. She could do this for hours. She's the main reason their rescue missions involving villains are so successful." Izuku said. "She can bring in an entire cavalry in seconds."
"I wish I could use my cavalry right now," Ochako grumbled.
"Uh-oh," Mina said, watching Iida march to the center of the tired group, "He's got that look on his face again."
"Which one?" Kaminari asked.
"The 'time for an inspiring speech' one."
"Class 1-A!" Iida yelled. "We shall not be swallowed by these Earthly menaces! Are we not the class that held back multiple villains when we were just starting out! We are not going away without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive!"
Overdramatic? Yes. Effective at rallying? Somewhat.
"Nice rally cry and all, but you're missing the big question. How do we deal with an infinite army of monsters? Pixie's not gonna run outta earth any time soon," Jirou countered.
Iida hummed. "She has to have some sort of limitation to her power. Perhaps its range!"
"Range..." Izuku said. "It's plausible, but we're gonna need someone to test it. We need to lure one of them to chase us."
"Perfect, then all we need is a voluntee-!" Iida began...before he was suddenly snatched up in earthen talons and pulled into the sky.
"Ohhhh what the hell?!" Kirishima yelled, "She can give them wings?!"
"WAHHHHHHHHHH!" Iida yelled, struggling to get free. Even if he did, he'd surely plummet to the ground and hurt himself. Ochako furrowed her brow, and looked around. With everyone looking to the sky, it gave her ample opportunity to slip away.
"Okay, need to be discreet about this..." Ochako said, activating the watch. "Just stay intangible."
There was a slight flash of pink energy and, in an instant, Ochako's form had been replaced with Big Chill's. She turned invisible, unfurled her wings, and took to the skies. Now that she was airborne she could see that Iida had been stolen away from the group by an earthen dragon.
"She can make dragons?" Ochako asked herself, boosting her speed to try and catch up with the construct. She moved over to Iida and quickly phased an arm through one of the dirt dragon's legs and froze it solid. She did the same to the other leg and then shattered both, letting Iida freefall. Of course, she quickly dive bombed after the speedster and caught him, bringing him back down to earth away from the others. She de-transformed and gave a sigh of relief when it seemed that the dragon wasn't following them.
"Thanks for the save there," Iida sighed, "Remind me to check the sky every so often now..."
"I have a feeling these things aren't gonna be defeated by a light tap and some simple levitation." Ochako said. "I need to sneak in a way to transform on the dot and detransform."
"Like...a blink transformation." Iida said.
"...Kinda." Ochako shrugged.
"Hmmm...I could try and use my speed to move you away to hide the transformation, but that's only half the problem," Iida hummed in thought.
"Kick up some dirt and I'll rush into action." Ochako said. "I'll use my more subtle aliens."
"Understood. But subtle does mean no Heatblast or Echo Echo," Iida pointed out.
"Does mean Big Chill though, and that's worked fine so far."
"...alright, well. Try blending in with Todoroki's ice attacks." Iida said, pointing over to the half-half student. He was erecting large walls of ice to defend the others.
"Perfect." Ochako grinned.
Their timing was perfect. It seemed that the dragon that tried to steal away Iida wasn't the only creature that Pixie-Bob had gifted flight. A swarm of dirt-formed bats erupted from the forest and took to the skies, quickly locking onto the group of students and racing towards them.
"First a dragon, now an army of bats...Pixie's op," Jirou sighed, getting ready for another fight and jabbing her jacks into her support gear. Ochako raced over to Todoroki and discreetly filled him in on the plan.
"I'll time it as best I can," the half-half hero-in-training promised. Perfect. As the bats swarmed closer, Todoroki created a few more walls to hide Ochako so she could transform. The icy barriers hid the flash of pink before she turned once more into Big Chill and became intangible.
"Ready?" Ochako rasped. Todoroki nodded and got ready to freeze these constructs himself.
As the swarm approached, Todoroki unleashed a blast of ice that shattered multiple bats. Ochako flapped her wings and phased through the remaining bats, causing them to scatter in confusion. She then landed on the ground, de-transformed and took a few deep breaths.
"That worked," she said with a smile.
"Nice one," Todoroki complimented her, offering a small smile of his own.
Ochako flopped on the ground. "I'm gonna lay here now."
"Okay."
Back on the now moving bus, Pixie-Bob was checking her goggles and noticed that her Earth Beast: Chiroptera Swarm had already locked onto the students and was flying towards them. That was par for the course, really. What caught her attention was the sudden energy spike that appeared for a split second.
"Hmmm, hey Eraser? One of your students has an energy Quirk, right? Electricity or something?" Pixie asked.
"Hm? Yes. He shorts himself out after a while. Why are you bringing this up?" Eraserhead asked, scratching his face.
"Ok, good to know that. How much power can he generate in one go before frying? Trust me, this is going somewhere," Pixie adjusted some dials on her goggles to record this reading.
"A pretty high voltage. Again, why are you asking?" Aizawa sounded pretty tired...but when did he not?
"I just got a ping. My little earth bats are about to test 'em and...got a big power spike. Wasn't even a second, really. More a flash than a sustained attack, I'd say," the Pussycats hero explained.
Aizawa raised an eyebrow. "Interesting."
"Maybe he found a way to use all that power for a second or something. I dunno. Just a weird detail," Pixie Bob shrugged. Aizawa looked out the window to the forest, and thought for a second.
He chuckled to himself and shook his head. "Risky move, kid."
Class 1-A's teacher could see the swarm, even from here. Some of the smaller parts of what seemed to be a giant cloud were taken out of the sky by invisible projectiles or were frozen and sent careening down to the ground.
And then it all clicked with Eraserhead. Todoroki was helping out, covering her and taking credit for her ice use. Risky still, but a well-calculated one.
Truth is, Aizawa knew from the start. About everything with Ochako and Ben. It clicked a few months back, during the situation with Obake...
"You're terrible at hiding secrets, you know." Aizawa said. "You think I wouldn't recognize one of my students?"
Ben stared at him. "...well, shit. Cat's out of the bag."
Of course, he'd kept the secret, but he still had some...choice words with Ben about not letting him know from the start. Again, spurred on by the incident with Obake. In truth, he was wondering if Ochako would try this from the very moment that the training camp was brought up. Now he knew the answer and he was curious to see how this'd play out.
"I don't know the exact details, but you're gonna be up to your neck in controversy if this leaks." Aizawa said.
"You forget how THAT side of American media tries to bite my head off." Ben said. "I have the best spin doctor in the hero business."
"All I need to know is...do you feel confident in your choice?"
"A hundred times, yes." Ben said.
"Alright. Alright, fine. I'll keep an eye on her. Be your eyes in the academy. Let you know if anything's going on," Aizawa said.
"Thanks, Eraser." Ben sighed. "You're more of a teacher type than me. Try being...I dunno, indirect with your lessons? Code them in a way that she can be like 'hey, this makes sense to my human side and my alien side'."
Aizawa stared at Ben for a second.
"I sound like a total idiot, don't I?"
"Yes. Yes you do."
"Ok well...you know what I mean."
"Somehow, even with that poor wording, yeah, I do," Aizawa confirmed.
Aizawa hummed. He'd been watching Ochako carefully, and hiding footage from the other teachers- if he was found out, he could get in serious trouble. But somehow, he'd expect Nedzu to weasel him out of it. There was an unexpected fire to Ochako's fighting style, something he appreciated during the Sports Festival.
But now that she was starting to play more...dangerously, he had a feeling that he needed to keep an even closer eye on her.
While he hummed, more and more of the bat swarm fell, much to Pixie's surprise.
"Wow. They're taking them down in record time," the Pussycats hero remarked, "Guess I need to amp it up."
"If you need to." Aizawa replied absentmindedly. The villains were starting to move now, so even the first years needed self defense skills.
Nothing like teaching someone how to swim by throwing them in the ocean.
"Hmmm...ooh, I know what to do. Let's try the Imperator model. Maybeeeee, three of them. Three should work," Pixie-Bob nodded to herself.
"I think you're starting to have a bit too much fun with this." Aizawa said, before hearing something rustling next to him. An eyebrow went up...strange. This was Ochako's bag, wasn't it?
Pixie-Bob was distracted right now. Aizawa decided to lift the bag up to see what was inside.
"Too much? Eh, maybe. But I'm not bringing out the big guns. I'm not that crazy, Eraser," Pixie countered.
"Uh-huh," Aizawa said, too focused on the bag. He noticed that the rustling was coming from a side pocket and so he unzipped it. It was Ochako's phone. Maybe she forgot to turn it off before she left. That was partly his fault, given the suddenness of how this camp started. But why was the phone...black and green? Something seemed a bit off there.
Aizawa poked it, and a tiny head poked out of it. Aizawa stared for a moment. Ship stared back. The two were locked in eye contact for a good while.
Ship blinked, and miserably retreated back into the phone. Aizawa closed the bag, and paused to think.
Did he just have a staring contest with a phone? And win?
Fighting games were never Ochako's strong suit. Timing attacks were always weird for her, and button mashing never beat experienced players consistently. Mixing it into her fighting style was...strange.
The main issue with the attack was her Omnitrix. She couldn't access it fast enough.
Right now that was especially a problem as she dodged another claw strike from Pixie-Bob's latest Earth Beast creation. The three new beasts, Earth Beast: Imperators, were all modeled after emperor Scorpions. Mina...absolutely hated these three constructs.
"NOPE! Nope nope nope nope!" Mina panicked, trying to melt the beasts as quickly as she could.
Ochako was struggling to find a place to transform. These things were able to attack without rest, and they barely gave her an opening to use EITHER of her powers.
As for the others...they weren't faring well.
One of the scorpions was focused on Todoroki, Tooru, Jirou and Momo, keeping the girls on the defenses as it combined tail strikes with claw swings. Izuku tried to punch through the second's claws, but the earthen predator's tail struck at him from the side, knocking him into a tree. The third was focused on Ochako, Tokoyami, and a few others. Aoyama fired a few laser blasts to draw its attention away from Ochako, but it didn't even phase the construct-scorpion.
"This is madness!" Tokoyami said. "How are we expected to learn against such an unstoppable beast!?"
"And why's the range on her quirk SO MASSIVE!?" Mineta yelled.
"No idea! Just shut up and take it down! It's just a bunch of dirt!" Bakugou demanded, firing off a series of explosions in the face of one of the Imperators.
And they fought…
And fought…
And fought…
And fought…
And finally, they finished.
It was only 3:30 PM when they arrived at the Pussycat's headquarters. The students were all tired- Izuku's arms ached, Iida was dragging his legs, Bakugou was holding his forearms in pain, Ochako was sore all over...no one else was okay after that experience.
Needless to say, they didn't make it time for lunch.
"Look who finally showed up." Mandalay joked.
"So hungry...I'm gonna die." Kirishma grumbled.
"It'll only take three hours." Sero repeated. "Yeah, right."
"Sorry. That's how quick WE would've made it." Mandalay clarified.
"Flaunting the power gap in our faces...?" Satou grumbled. "That's harsh."
Pixie-Bob chuckled. "We actually thought it'd take you longer, but you all dealt with my Earth Beasts pretty easily...not bad." her attention turned towards Izuku, Iida, Momo, Todoroki and Bakugou. "Especially with the six. I saw everything."
Ochako went pale.
"Well, at least I sensed it. I can only make out shapes with my visor." Pixie-Bob said, tapping it. "But you six were the best of the best. I'm guessing your past experiences allowed you to act without hesitation?"
Ochako nodded. "Something like that."
"I wish there were more kids like you around when I was your age...then the Pussycats would've had more members." Pixie-Bob sighed.
"Speaking of kids..." Izuku said, looking over Pixie's shoulder. Ochako glanced over to see the boy from the car, glaring at the students. He had short spiky black hair and stood at a height comparable to Mineta. His style of clothing consisted of a short-sleeved collared shirt with buttons and dark shorts. He also wore a red hat with two golden spike-shaped horns on the front. "Who's kid is that?"
"Oh, him?" Mandalay said. "He's actually my nephew." Mandalay motioned for the boy to step forward. "Kota! Come say hi these kids. You'll be spending the week with them."
Kota didn't move.
"Sorry, he's a bit...shy around other people." Mandalay explained.
Izuku walked forward. "Hey there! My name's Izuku Midoriya. I'm from the UA High School Hero course." He leaned down to offer the boy a handshake. "It's nice to meet you."
For a moment, Ochako smiled. It was nice of Izuku to represent UA in such a proper way.
...the next moment, however... was unexpected. The boy raised his fist back, and Detroit Smashed it right into Izuku's crotch. The inhuman sound that Deku made as he collapsed to the ground was shocking to everyone. The boys winced, and Ochako's jaw dropped.
Iida and Ochako rushed over to help Midoryia, with Iida catching him before he hit the ground.
"What a low blow!" Iida yelled. "You fiend of a child! A PUNCH TO THE SCROTUM WAS UNFORGIVABLE!"
Ochako had to hold back laughter when she heard Iida say that.
Kota angrily and slowly turned his head around. "I can't abide by jerks who wanna be heroes."
"A-abide!?" Ochako said. "How old is this kid?"
Bakugou smiled. "Cute kid." This wasn't a typical Bakugou smile of pride- this one was relaxed and made him look 'normal'.
"Wow." Todoroki said. "That's the first genuine smile I think I've ever seen from you."
"What? I can't do that?" Bakugou chuckled.
"I can see why you like him. He's a lot like you." Todoroki said. Whoops. Not the thing to say. Bakugou's default angry expression returned in full force.
"A lot alike!? Buzz off!" Bakugou huffed. "I don't wanna hear ANYTHING from you, Icy Hot!"
"Sorry." Todoroki said.
Aizawa sighed. "Enough of the sideshow. Get your luggage from the bus. Drop your things off, come to lunch and rest up. Bath houses open after sundown. After that, bedtime. The real training starts tomorrow."
Ochako and Iida helped Izuku back up. "Do...you need ice for your..." Ochako took a deep breath. "Your nuts?"
"...I think so." Izuku weakly nodded.
Ochako sighed. Not how she expected her training to start, but hopefully things would get better from here on out.
...right?
Free food was Ochako's favorite type of food. Ochako welcomed all food, actually. But nothing tasted better than a free meal.
Ochako piled some more rice, fish and carrots into her bowl. She didn't care how bad the indigestion would be later, this food was amazing. She and Kirishima were locked in an unintentional 'eating' contest with how much they were eating.
"The flavor's seeping into every part of me!" Ochako praised. "Each grain is just as good as Lunch Rush's meals!"
"RIGHT!?" Kirishima said. "This rice is amazing! I wish I could munch on this stuff forever!"
Pixie Bob watched the two eat. "...you kids sure get weirdly excited when you're hungry."
Ochako sighed as she finished first. That was a good meal. "So, Deku- how are you feeling?"
Izuku had a bag of ice on his crotch, and was eating his meal slowly. "I'm doing better," He said, removing the bag off his crotch for a moment. "Certainly doesn't hurt as much anymore. Thanks again for helping me with my luggage, Iida."
"Not a problem." Iida said, eating his meal a little faster than usual. "It seems we'll be sharing dorms with Class B, given the bunk bed setup."
"Where IS Class 1-B, actually?" Ochako said. "I thought they'd be here by now too."
"Class 1-B is with our OTHER members. They're making their way through the Forest of Traps." Pixie-Bob said, poking her head in.
Mineta stopped eating for a second. "T-traps?" Mineta asked.
"Not the kind YOU'RE thinking of, you sicko." Bakugou said.
"Yeah, we have a whooooole forest section of the forest devoted to obstacle training." Pixie-Bob explained. "It's kind of like the first section in this year's Sports Festival...except for adults."
"I would've assumed they'd be done by now." Tsu said, putting a finger to her chin. "The entire class made it through the course, just like we did."
"Well, they came in...mostly the last spots." Kaminari pointed out. "And that's because Todoroki, Bakugou and Midoryia were fighting for first and opening up the path to us."
"Sorry if I went overboard." Todoroki said.
"Overboard?" Sero repeated. "You froze me in a glacier."
"...I melted you out after." Todoroki pointed out.
"They might...be a while." Izuku said. "We got the *nicer* Pussycats. Class 1-B is stuck with Ragdoll and Tiger."
"What's the deal with those two?" Ochako asked, picking at some rice balls.
"Ragdoll is hyperactive and eccentric. Tiger is macho, strict and intimidating...but is still pretty goofy himself." Izuku said. "They're known for being pretty...intense."
"So, chances are not ALL of Class 1-B is gonna survive their warm up training." Mandalay joked, taking Izuku's empty plate off of him. "By the by, don't expect, don't expect this pampering to continue. This is for today only."
"Awwwww..." Ochako frowned. "But free food..."
"Sorry, but you kids gotta learn." Mandalay smiled, as she walked off. Izuku watched her go into the kitchen area, where she was sitting with Kota. Looks like he was on time out or something.
Izuku stared at the boy for a few seconds. That young Bakugou comment that Todoroki made earlier wasn't entirely accurate, but Izuku did see where he was coming from. He looked towards Bakugou, who was angrily eating his lunch.
Maybe he should spend some time helping this kid during his stay here. For some reason, he didn't like the idea of another Bakugou.
It was around six when Class 1-B appeared at the foot of the mountain, and they looked more beat down than Class 1-A did. The highlight of the scene was Monoma, being carried on the shoulder of a burly Pussycat. Some members of Class 1-A greeted them at the door.
"Looks like you guys have had a busy day." Kirishima smirked.
"Thought we'd be lucky enough to beat you here..." Sen Kaibara said. "Guess not."
"You guys won't believe the bullshit that was on that course." Yosetsu Awase frowned. "I mean! Who puts landmines in a FOREST!?"
"So that explains the explosions we heard earlier." Jirou hummed.
"What happened to him?" Ochako asked, pointing over to Monoma.
"Poor guy puckered himself out!" The ever enthusiastic Ragdoll laughed. "He went too hard on that course!"
"Monoma fainted when he had to do the zipline portion." Tetstutetsu said. "Apparently he doesn't do well with heights."
"The hell kind of course did you guys run!?" Ochako said.
"We're still in the process of prepping the meals for you all." Mandalay said. "Class 1-A kind of ate everything..."
Monoma suddenly found a second wind. "WHAT!? You're telling me Class 1-A came in like a group of savages and ate everything and left us crumbs!? How totally messed up! No one in Class B would do that-!"
Kendo whacked him upside the head. "Sorry." She sighed, as he slumped over again.
"Well, if he's fine enough to ramble like that..." Tiger threw Monoma onto the ground.
Mandalay pressed her finger to the side of her temple. "Alright," Her voice echoed in everyone's mind. "I'm looking for some volunteers for the kitchen. Class B is here, and they're hungry!"
Ochako shook her head in confusion. "What was that?!"
"That was my quirk!" Mandalay explained. "I can send messages mentally. I can't recieve them, though. It's like a mental intercom at a school."
Iida clapped his hands together. "Alright, you heard her. I know we've had a busy day, but these students are starving! Just look at them! I say we put our ALL into cooking a meal!"
"I guess it wouldn't hurt to help." Izuku said. "Just give us a good half hour, and we'll have some appetizers ready."
"Having Class 1-A cook for US, the true stars of UA?! HAHAHAH!" Monoma laughed maniacally. "THEY KNOW THEIR PLACE-!"
Kouta suddenly kicked Monoma in the face. The entire class winced.
"...well, at least he didn't kick you where he punched me." Izuku muttered.
