Here's the next chapter, hope you'll enjoy it.

Djinn - Thanks so much, I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I thought Class B should do something alongside their Class A counterparts since they are pretty overshadowed in the manga which is shame. Aizawa's precautions will be beneficially for his training…but there is a downside since he won't be able to teleport outside the confines of the summer camp. But it'll be fine…just as long as they won't be any emergencies. Hope you enjoy the next chapter.

argosyesu - Yep. I used my kuudere translator to write dialogue between the two so the readers can understand what they were saying.

Foxfire573 - Has pensado bien. Por supuesto, Aizawa tuvo que dejar que Lewis hiciera todo el trabajo.

Fue divertido escribir Monoma en el último capítulo. El hecho de que Lewis influyera en Monoma con tanta facilidad se inspiró en My Hero Academia: Smash! donde Shoto logra engañar a Bakugo y, accidentalmente, a Monoma para que hagan una tarea actuando como incompetente. Me encanta esa serie. Me hubiera gustado que hicieran más.

No te preocupes por Tiger. Tendrá otra oportunidad de pronunciar un apasionado discurso en este capítulo.

Gracias por leer y espero que disfrutes de este capítulo.

Spedyalarm - [Looks down] He's passed out in a pool of his own blood just for the sheer thought of it …hold on, I need to get a mop.

nexusplayer - HUH!? ALL MIGHT'S HERE!? Oh wait, even better, it's nexusplayer :) Thanks so much for reading and you make really good points. I'll see what I can do. Hope you'll enjoy this chapter.

Guest - Well…I mean you could read and find out…or not, if you don't want to.

Neo Infinity - Thanks so much, sorry it's been a while. I'm glad that you liked he new training for Class 1B. I didn't want to take away Midoryia saving Kota away from him, so I thought that he could do a small check up on him. Lewis likes to use his First Aid experience whenever he can. Thanks for reading.

wellingtonlucas282 - No problem, thank you so much for your support.

Grant1000 - Thanks so much!

Akashi1412 - I mean…does it matter? England is in Britain so he can be both.

Guest - Oho! Now that's an interesting concept. I'll see what I can do.

Guest - Thank you, but I don't think Pony's that reckless…well, I hope not anyway.

[I only just realised as I was publishing this that the next three reviews are probably the same person. To make it a look a little neater, I decided to keep them separated.]

Guest - I suppose, but having these restrictions are important for Lewis' growth. How will get around the problem? Does he need to create a specialist equipment or will he have to train harder? Having an obstacle in place allows a character to grow and flourish throughout the story; it makes the reader emphasis with the character and become intrigued to see him strive for something. Whether he gets around this problem…well, we'll have to see.

Guest - Yes, you're right. The students strengths from both classes depend on the situation and what is essential for the time. I can't remember the answer I gave back then, but that was what I hoped I had put down.

Guest - I'm glad that you enjoyed it and I see you have a lot of hopes. I really like all of them, but saving Nighteye's life might be a little tricky. I will have to see. Thank you also for the harem suggestions, you may have suggested one or three that have crossed my mind. I had hoped to write a chapter with Mt Lady so don't worry about that. Also, I can only imagine what him interacting with Camie would be like. Thanks so much for re-reading.

FanSuperAnime- Thanks so much, I'm glad you liked it. I think I've heard of Shangri-la Frontier, but I never watched it. I'll look into it and see. Thanks for the recommendation.

Soberityy - Sorry for the wait, I hope you'll enjoy it.

Guest - Hello, and I haven't actually. I looked it up and, you're right, it is useful. Thanks so much.

Guest - Haha! Let's see, shall we.

Lewis: "Hi Cavalier. Do you mind if you can teach me some stealing skills?"

Cavalier: "Of course, I can! Anything for my (non-canonical) family. First of all, you need to eat the Snatch Snatch Fruit like I did.

Lewis: "…err."

Thank you for reviewing :)


Chapter 35: Summer Days And Summer Nights

Camp Training Grounds

And Hell it was.

Lewis collapsed to the ground in exhaustion. The world spun around in front of his eyes and his breathing was laboured and he was fairly sure he was going to pass out at any moment if he made any single movement. He was on the brink of madness and his mind began to cloud over and become confused just as he was during the Sports Festival or at the U.S.J; he only hoped he wouldn't do anything weird like those times before.

Training started immediately after the first ball toss and Aizawa had given his students a set of tasks that would push them to their limits. Some students (like Sero, Mineta, Midoryia, Bakugo Shoko and many others) had to overuse their quirk to the point that it hurt, while others (like Momo, Jiro, Mina, Shoji and Sato) were trying to strengthen them to increase their effectiveness, while others (Ochako, Toru and Fumikage) were trying to gain better control of them.

Lewis was in the first group.

Aizawa had tasked him to teleport in reverse. Instead of trying to teleport to somewhere unfamiliar to him, he had to try to teleport from somewhere unfamiliar to U.A. Simply put, trying to figure out where Point A is in order to get to Point B. This was easy said than done. He tried his best to remember the directions the bus took them all that led him here like he did back on I-Island; however, that was a shorter journey and he wasn't taking that far away while the trip to camp took a few hours and was several miles away from U.A. What's worse is that Aizawa had put him on a timer; if he didn't do within the time then he had to do twenty teleports around the area as fast as he can. It had been three hours since they started and he was not even close to being successful.

He blinked dizzily up at the morning sky and saw, in his delusional state, the floating head of a shaggy haired, scarf-wearing hyena staring at him in boredom, spinning around and around like a spiral in front of his eyes. At first, Lewis thought he was seeing some sort of weird optical illusion, but, to his surprise, the floating hyena head opened its maw and began to talk.

"起きてください。トレーニングはまだ終わっていません," the hyena told him.

He frowned in confusion, "What?"

"私は言った、地面から立ち上がれ," the head told him seriously.

Lewis hesitated slightly, "...I'm sorry space hyena, but I don't speak Japanese."

Aizawa sighed and rolled his eyes as he stood over Lewis who spread out on the ground before him. The sounds of his students roaring and crying out in agony filled the area all around him as they carried out their individual tasks. He kneeled down, held out his hand and stuck out two fingers in front of Lewis' face.

"How many fingers and I holding up, Fleetwood?"

Lewis frowned in concentration, "At least eleven," he replied in English

Aizawa shrugged, "Close enough."

The teacher looked up in time to see Vlad King and his students arrive through the forest and into the clearing that served as the training ground. Class 1B were horrified by what they saw the hellish landscape before them; Karminari being attached to a car battery, Ojiro smashing his tail against Kirishima who was using his hardening for extra protection, Iida forced to run all over the place non-stop, Mineta ripping his hair balls off until his head bled, Aoyama releasing his navel laser into the sky and so on and on.

"Oh man," Awase gulped, "This looks intense."

Shoda shivered at the sight, "This looks like torture."

"Perhaps I should pray for them," Ibara murmured as she grasped her hands together.

Vlad King turned to them stoically, "For this training, we are going to push you to your limits. Those whose abilities have allowable upper limits placed on them must raise those limits. Those with mutation quirks must train their respective organs and body parts. Normally, we adjust the training based on physical activity..."

"But we don't have time for that," Aizawa said as he walked on over, "We need you to fit as much training you can in a week so we can't have any of you lazing about. Do you understand?"

Komori raised her hand, "Err...sir, is Fleetwood okay?"

The entire class looked over at him still lying on the grass and was now singing a weird song to himself.

"Ebargtuo shtar emom eht dna. Sevogorob eht erew ysmim lla~" Lewis sang weakly.

"He's fine," he said without looking back, "Fleetwood is demonstrating the proper results in today's training."

"Ebaw eht ni elbmig dna eryg did sevot yhtils eht dna ,gillirb sawt~" he continued to sing.

Kendo offered Lewis a concerned look before she rubbed her chin in thought, "There's forty students here. All with unique quirks. It'll be pretty hard to manage everybody here."

Aizawa pointed over his shoulder, "That is why they're here."

"That's right!" a voice chirped before four people leapt out of the trees and posed before them.

"Your feline fantasies are here!"

"Allow us to lend a helping paw!"

"We're champions serving up justice!"

"Strikingly cure and cat-like!"

"Wild Wild Pussycats!" they cried as they got into the poses, "…full version."

Lewis sat up straight from off the ground, "What? Cats? Where?" he demanded, looking around the area eagerly, "Let me see them!"

"That's what snapped you out of it?" Aizawa grumbled, casting him a look over his shoulder, "Get back to work, Fleetwood."

Lewis grumbled bitterly as he stumbled to his feet. As everyone's eyes were drawn to Tiger's training demonstration, he began to teleport around the training area, doing a full lap before coming to a complete stop beside a tree and sat down by its roots. He closed his eyes and began to focus on his quirk, trying to picture himself travelling across the Japanese countryside in search of his current location. He concentrated harder and harder, but it was fruitless. He sighed, opened his eyes and leaned his head back against the trunk of the tree, trying to catch his breath before his second attempt.


A few hours later, after spending almost the entire day suffering through menial tasks and training, the day was drawing to a close. Aizawa, Vlad King and the Pussycats used this time to review their progress such as what they have achieved and where they could improve in. So far, Lewis had not managed to achieve shat he sort out to do, so he thought he would show Aizawa his Fading technique that he had leaned during his internship.

"Pretty impressive, right?" Lewis and Lewis Beta questioned confidently.

He and his carbon copy stood side by side with their hands on their hips and a massive grin on their faces, hoping to get a reaction from the teacher…

"You can copy yourself. So what?"

…admittedly, he should have expected that.

Lewis and Lewis Beta slumped forwards in disappointment, "I thought you would at least act a little surprised, sir."

"I read about in Sir Nighteye's internship report. He was very detailed about your progress," he told him sharply, making them bow their heads even more, "Even if I didn't know about it, how will this be of any help in your hero work? Because, to me, it looks like a simple parlour trick."

He hesitated slightly before he looked over at Lewis Beta, who did the same but in the opposite direction, 'I mean, he's right. There isn't much I could do with this. It came in handy during my fight with Farkas back on I-Island, but that was more to do with luck than anything else,' he thought to himself, "I suppose you're right," he sighed as Lewis Beta faded away into nothing, "This is pointless."

"I didn't say it was pointless. I said that it won't help you in your future," Aizawa pointed out as he lazily scratched his stubbly beard, "Do something with it and build upon it until it becomes more useful. That's the point of this entire camp."

He stood up straight and nodded in determination, "Yes, sir."

"Moving on. Have you managed to find a way to disappear back to U.A yet?"

"No sir."

"Well, pick it up from where you left off tomorrow. Finally, how are you feeling after constantly using your quirk?"

Lewis hummed in thought, "Not too bad. I would usually use music to keep me anchored, but I think I'm getting better. Although there were some incidents like when I got stuck up that tree…or when I found appeared on the roof…or when I appeared in the portaloo when Aoyama was using it…I have to apologise to him for that. That was not fun for either of us. However, I feel like I pushed my limit today," he said proudly, "I think I did well."

"Well, that's progress," Aizawa sighed as he turned and walked away, "I guess that means we have to increase your training. Clearly it's not hard enough for you," he said with a smirk.

The smile dropped from his face, "Increase!? How can you increase it!?"

"It's almost time for dinner. You better start cooking," he told him with a lazy wave or his hand.

"Wait! We're the ones cooking!?"


Outside Eating Area

As warned by the Pussycats the previous night, the students from both classes had to make dinner for the night. They were provided with enough ingredients, cooking utensils and had full access to the kitchen; after that their teachers left them alone to their own devices. It was going smoothly at first, everybody working together in order to make a nice simple curry, but then something happened. Lewis was still in his dazed state and was feeling much more bolder as a consequence…as well as being more argumentative which led being more competitive.

To cut a long story short, he and Bakugo were competing against each other on who makes a better rice curry.

Yeah...he had no idea how he got into this.

Lewis steadily and surely mixed the giant pot of curry in front of him while keeping an eye on his boiling rice. He glanced over at Bakugo, who was surprisingly good at cooking, doing the same whilst glaring competitively at him. Around them, the students cheered them on. Some supported him while others supported Bakugo…although Bakugo supporters were immediately shouted down by the violent teen because of how distracting they were.

"Time is almost up, gentlemen," Iida barked, acting as time keeper and judge, "Serve up now and present it before our tasters."

"How did we get roped into this?" Kendo sighed as she sat at the taster's table along with Sato, Rin and Shoko.

Rin shrugged, "Beats me. I just want something to eat before I pass out from starvation."

"Do I really belong here? I'm more of a baker than a chef," Sato murmured.

Shoko stared stoically ahead and tilted her head to the side, "Soba would have been better."

"Then we would have to wait even longer," her classmate told her.

"Time's up!" Iida declared as the two boys finally served their last bowl, "Bakugo you are up first. Please present your curry to the tasters."

Bakugo clicked his teeth and set one bowl of his curry in front of of each them before he crossed his arms and grinned menacingly, "Get that down your throats and I can finally win."

"Is that you're version of 'Bon Appetit'?" Lewis murmured.

They all took a fork from off the table and took a bite of the rice and curry. As soon as Kendo swallowed it, she yelped in pain and stuck her tongue out of her mouth.

"Ow! Bakugo! How much spice did you put into this!" she cried as she began to fan her open mouth, sweat pouring down her face.

"Huh? The usual amount. Why?"

"My mouth feels like it's on fire!" Sato yelped as he reached for a water bottle and began to guzzle it down, "This is far too spicy for human consumption!"

Shoko chewed on her meal slowly before her eyebrow twitched slightly. She reached her hand up, placed it on her face before she covered it in a layer of ice to keep her cool. She then took another bite of the curry before she shrugged.

"It's fine," she simply said.

"The hell!? What kind of response is that!?" Bakugo yelled at her.

Rin took another bite of the curry before he flinched as the spice pained his mouth, "It's strong…but nothing I can't handle. It's really good otherwise."

"Ha!" Bakugo laughed boastfully as he grinned at Lewis, "Beat that, foreigner!"

Lewis rolled his eyes, "You thought those were good reviews?" he said before he placed his curry in front of the tasters, "Please enjoy."

The four tasters, although a little hesitantly, picked up their forks once more and took bites of Lewis' curry. After chewing on it for a little while, Kendo smiled happily and swallowed.

"This is good. Really good," she said as she licked her lips.

"Yeah, this tastes like an actual curry," Sato agreed with a smile, "Just what you need after today."

"Yeah..." Rin said before he shrugged, "...but it's a little too plain. Did you even put any spices into this, Fleetwood?"

"I thought you guys would prefer something more simple," Lewis said as he rubbed the back of his head, "Shoko what do you think of it?"

Shoko hummed thoughtfully, "It's good, but your soba is better."

"I can't make soba for you all the time."

"Well!?" Bakugo shouted as he pointed accusingly at the tasters, "Who wins!? Decide not so we can be done with this!"

"One moment," Sato said as he and the other tasters began to hungrily eat their meals, "Still eating. We can decide afterwards."

"Huh!?"

"Hey, if they're going to eat then I want some too," Karminari said as he made his way and helped himself to a bowl of rice, "I don't care who wins. Let's just eat."

"Alright! Let's dig in!" Mina chimed as the two classes began to form two lines; one for Lewis' curry and the other for Bakugo.

"I think I prefer a milder tasting one. I need to regain my lipid storage after overusing my quirk," Momo said.

Kirishima grinned as they helped themselves to Bakugo's curry, "I love spicy food. I'm going to get two servings!"

"Leave some for me, man!" Tetsutetsu called out to him.

Bakugo gritted his teeth in anger as their classmates ignored him, "OI! STOP THAT! WHO THE HELL SAID YOU CAN HELP YOURSELVES!"

Lewis, on the other hand, sweat dropped and smiled happily, "Well, at least everyone's enjoying our food. Isn't that what's important?"

"HELL NO! THE POINT WAS WHO WAS THE BEST!"

"Oh...what a shame then," he sighed uncaringly as Lewis helped himself to some curry and rice, causing him to growl in fury.


Wild Wild Pussycats HQ

"I've got him!" Pixie Bob sang as she slid open the shoji door and dragged Lewis after her, "Welcome to the Wild Wild Pussycats HQ, little kitten!" she declared.

Lewis looked around at the room he had been stepped into; it was fairly big room with four desks with computers and files, a few cork boards with several topographical maps of the area, radio and surveillance equipment and some lockers lined up along the far wall. In the middle of the room was two sofas which flanked a simple coffee table; Mandalay, Ragdoll and Tiger were sat on the sofas with cups of teas in their paw gloves. As soon as she saw them, Mandalay set her tea down and gave her colleague a weary look.

"Ryuko, did you drag him away from his washing up duties?" she sighed.

"What? No way. You really think I would do that?"

"He's still wearing washing up gloves," she pointed out.

Ryuko looked around and saw, sure enough, Lewis wearing the yellow rubber gloves and an apron over his front.

"Oh… never mind, the other kittens have got it," she said with a wave of her hand, "Anyway, Tomoko and Yawara meet Fleetwood. You remember when we sent him an internship request."

"Oooh! That's him, meow!" Ragdoll said.

"I thought I recognised the name on the register," Tiger commented before he pointed to the empty seat on the sofa opposite him, "Take a seat, please"

Lewis smiled, took off his gloves and apron and set them to the side before he took a seat next to Ragdoll while Pixie Bob sat on his left.

"Thank you so much for the request and sorry for turning you guys down."

Tiger waved his hand at him, "Don't sweat it. I'm sure you had your reasons."

"I'm sure it was a tough decision. Especially, since you would have got so many coming in third place," Mandalay added, "How many nominations did you get, by the way? One thousand? One thousand five hundred?"

"Two hundred and three, actually."

"Huh?" Pixie Bob uttered in surprise, "That's hardly anything. I thought you came in third place?"

"I did…and then I did that interview and I lost almost all my nominations."

"What!" Tiger shouted, making everybody jump in fright, "They pulled out because of that! That's outrageous! I watched that interview myself and your commitment to heroism in the face of criticism was commendable. How Plus Ultra," he said before he clenched his fist, "I admit, I cried sweet tears at the end of it. And I never cry at anything."

"That's a lie. You cry every time you watch your dramas."

"T-that was a particular moving Plus Ultra episode."

Lewis smiled happily at what he said, "Thank you so much Tiger. That's kind of you," he said before he rubbed the back of his head awkwardly, "I wish I could have interned with you guys as well. I like the work you do here."

"Aww, aren't you a sweetie. We do our best to help as many people as we can, meow!" she cheered energetically before she held her hand over her mouth and snickered mischievously, "Although, maybe it's a good thing you stayed away. Who knows what Pixie would have done to you."

"Hey! Don't make me sound like a creep!" Pixie Bob shouted at her before she pouted and looked away, "I have you know that I am a respectable member of society. I would have waited until he's the proper age before I'll do anything as the law dictates."

"Are you sure? Two years is a long time. And you're getting older by the second, meow!"

Pixie Bob's eye twitched in anger. She reached over Lewis and began pulling at Ragdoll's cheeks, "Shut up! You're older than me, so you don't have a leg to stand on!"

"Stop that. We have a guest," Mandalay warned her with a serious look, making Pixie Bob look away and huff in annoyance while Ragdoll rubbed her aching cheeks, "So, Fleetwood, I take it that you would like to intern here. You're more than welcome to do so, although I think that's something you have to work out with Aizawa and U.A. We're especially busy during the spring and summer months so we would love to have an extra paw assisting us."

"Yeah, we even have your own costume ready for you to try on," Ragdoll said happily.

"Thank you that's…" he trailed off slightly, "…wait, a costume? You don't mean…"

"That's right," Pixie Bob laughed as she got onto her feet and headed to one of the lockers. She rummaged inside one of them for a few seconds before she pulled at hero costume just like the ones they were wearing, except that it was bright purple, and showed it to him, "I'm guessing you're an extra large, right?"

His jaw dropped at the sight of it, "You…had one made for me…in my size?"

"Not exactly," Mandalay said with a sweat drop, "Pixie Bob thought it was best to make some back-up costumes in case anybody else wants to join our team…as you can probably tell, we haven't been very successful."

"Until now!" Pixie Bob said as she shoved the costume into his hands, "Come on. I bet you'll look adorable in this."

Lewis looked down at the costume unsurely, "You want me to try this on now? But I…I already have a hero costume. Can't I wear that?"

"But what happens if we're out saving somebody, but the victim doesn't recognise you as onebof us, huh?" Ragdoll questioned.

"That's a risk I'm willing to take."

"You two stop it," Mandalay said, once again having to be the peace keeper in the situation, "Don't force him to wear anything he doesn't want to," she turned to Lewis with an apolgetic smile, "I'm really sorry. You don't have to wear it now or if you decide to intern with us. I know it took me a while to get used to it when we first started," she said as she subconsciously straightened the hem of her skirt.

That single movement made Lewis accidentally look down at her toned legs before he looked away with a blush. Pixie Bob, however, caught his attention by tapping his shoulder with her hand.

"Hey, do you not want to wear it because it's a skirt. If that's the case, then there's no need to be embarrassed. Tiger wears it as well."

"No, no…it's just a bit exposed and my quirk only works more effectively when I'm concealed," he told her, "Besides, Tiger pulls the costume off much better than I would."

"Nonsense!" Tiger suddenly shouted, making him jump in his seat, "Sure, I may have the body of a god and the legs of god and the arms of a god and the…"

"We get it. Your muscular."

"…But my heart is of that of a Wild Wild Pussycat! And that, my boy, is what deems me worthy of this costume," he declared, ignoring Pixie Bob's interruption, "My internal strength, my commitment to helping others, my determination to be a great pro-hero is what drives me to put on my costume every day and save this world from evil and it is shown through every fibre of this garment. It shows those who wish to be rescued that they have no need to fear, it makes those who wish to do wrong fear me and it shows the earth that, no matter what I do, I will always be Plus Ultra!" he proclaimed before he stood up and pointed a finger at him, "What about you!? Are you going to let a simple garment get in your way or will you stand proudly in your frilly skirt and your cute tail and tell the world that you're are Plus Ultra!?"

"…I'll wear the headgear and the tail."

"That's good enough," he said, giving him a thumbs up.

A few seconds later and Lewis admired himself in a mirror hanging on the wall. The headgear was much lighter than he was expecting, despite it being larger than his own, and the dark purple tail waggled behind him as if it had a mind of its…he really had no idea how it did that. He hummed to himself before a smile broke out on his face.

"You know what, this isn't too bad," he admitted, earning whoops of joy from Ragdoll and Pixie Bob.

"You know what this calls for, meow!" Ragdoll meowed as she scratched the air.

"A new Wild Wild Pussycats intro," Pixie Bob said, "Shino, would you do the honours."

Mandalay sighed, "Fine," she said before she twirled around and did her pose, "Your feline fantasies are here!"

"Allow us to lend a helping paw!" Ragdoll chimed in.

"We're champions serving up justice!" Tiger declared as he flexed his muscles.

"Strikingly cure and cat-like!" Ragdoll said before nudged Lewis with her elbow.

"Err…" he uttered before he too twirled around and struck a pose, "….Getting anyway we need to be by a whisker!"

"Wild Wild Pussycats!" they all declared as they joined into one big pose, "…Fleetwood version."

Lewis couldn't help but laugh, 'They are really fun to be around,' he thought, 'I should totally intern with them next year. I'll bet they can teach me a lot about rescuing people and putting my medical skills for good use.'

However, his eyes snapped open, when he heard the door to the office slid open and somebody step in. His first thought was that Aizawa was trying to find him and drag him back to his dorm, but he turned deathly pale when he saw that it was somebody worse.

"Sorry for the intrusion," Kodai plainly said as she walked in, "Mr Aizawa has asked for to find…"

She trailed off when her eyes landed on Lewis wearing cat ears and a tail and doing a pose just like the Wild Wild Pussycats. Kodai's face was as emotionless as usual, but he could see, in her eyes, that she was putting all the pieces together. She blinked and then blinked again before she reached into her pocket and pulled out a tiny camera and increased it into its original size.

"Kodai," he said in an even tone, "Don't you dare."

She slowly raised the camera to her face.

"I'm warning you."

He thought he saw a flicker of mischievous smile on her lips as she pointed the lens at him.

"Kodai!"

Snap!

The camera flashed and she, once the picture had been taken, immediately turned around and sprinted out of the room and down the hallway as fast as she could, clutching the camera in her hands as if it was the most precious thing in her possession.

"KODAI!" he yelled as he ran after her, tearing off the headgear and tail in one go and sprinting out of the room, "GET BACK HERE!"

The Wild Wild Pussycats smiled and laughed in amusement. Overall, they were pleased that they made friends with him.


Boy's Dormitories

Later that night, as the students were about to turn in after a long day of hard training, Lewis laid his mat on the tatami floor and laid down upon it before he pulled the covers up to his neck. He was about to close his eyes…when suddenly…

BOOM!

"HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS! YOU MUST BE CHEATING OR SOMETHING!"

"Hoho! What's wrong, you Class A brute? Are you astounded by my proficiency on how to bluff! I have you know that I'm an expecting at finding old maids!"

"Weird way to put it, Monoma."

"DAMN YOU! I AIN'T GOING TO LOSE TO SOME SHIT-EATING CREEP!"

"Try your best! Your efforts are fruitless because Class B is far superior in card games!"

Lewis drearily opened his eyes and glared at the group beside where he was sleeping. Apparently, today hadn't completely drained everybody of their energy as the boys seemed to want to everything, but sleep. The group he was bothered by was Bakugo, Monoma, Manga, Shoda, Awase and Aoyama who were all playing a game of Old Maid; two of the players, in particular, were getting into it a bit too much. As they began to loudly argue and play, Lewis rolled onto the other side of the mat and tried his best block them out.

"I thought Monoma was supposed to he a remedial classes," he muttered before he closed his eyes and tried to get some sleep.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! DAKAKAKA!

"Alright!"

"Damn it! I almost got a perfect score."

Lewis was, once again, woken up to the sounds of electronic explosions and gunfire and saw Bondo, Rin, Kaibara, Tsuburaba and Kuroiro playing some sort of co-op battle game their phones. Lewis turned onto his back and released a tired sigh before he closed his-

"Hey! Let's have an arm wrestling tournament!" Tetsutetsu cried suddenly.

'Oh come on!' Lewis shouted in his head.

"Come on! Prove yourself that you're a man and face me!"

"You think he misses Kirishima?" Shoda whispered to Awase.

"Definitely," he whispered back.

Shishida raised his giant, hairy hand, "I am up for a bout or two. I shall partake in your challenge."

"Yeah, count me in as well," Kamakari said with a vicious smirk.

"Alright everybody that's enough!" Iida shouted at all of them, waving his hands around about stiffly, "It is very late and we are all being too loud! We should all go to bed immediately!"

'Thank you Iida,' Lewis mentally wept, 'I just wish you weren't being the loudest one out of all of them.'

"Aww, come on, bro," Tetsutetsu complained, "Just one tournament. I've got too much energy in me! Let me work it all off before we do!"

Iida gave him a look before he scratched his chin in thought, "Well, I suppose that a good night's rest can only be achieved if the person has completely relaxed," he said, making Lewis groan in despair, "Fine then. We will hold one are wrestling tournament. Those who wish to participate should make an orderly line over there!" he barked.

Lewis pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance, but he then remembered something; he still had the noise-cancelling headphones that he wore on the journey. Rummaging through his bag beside his mat, he pulled the headphones out and placed them over his ears and sighed in relief as the cries and shouts all came to a whisper. He smiled contently and enjoyed the silence. He reclined on his mat once again and rested his head on the pillow.

'Now that's better,' he thought to himself, 'Now there's no way I can woken up like- OOF!'

He felt the wind being knocked out of him as something heavy slammed into his stomach, making him fold in half like a broken deckchair. He groaned and looked down to see Tetsutetsu had fallen across him; the silver haired teen offered him sheepish smile and rubbed the back of his head.

"Sorry bro! That last match knocked me off my feet! You okay!?" he asked.

"…Fine…thank….you…" Lewis managed to croak out.

"Cool!" he cheered as he jumped back onto his feet, "Alright! Rematch!"

While the tournament raged on, Lewis groaned in anger, staggered onto his feet, grabbed his mat and bed covers and hobbled to the shoji door, 'I'll just sleep somewhere else,' he thought bitterly.


Girl's Dormitories

Meanwhile, on the other side of the camp building, the girls were in the night clothes and were having a much more relaxed and quieter evening; something that Lewis would have loved right about then. Sleeping bags were scatted over the floor or used as something to lie down on; packets of sweets and cakes that they smuggled in were passed around and eagerly eaten; and already played board games and other personal items were laid forgotten beside them. They were split up into several groups; Yaoyoruzu, Ibara and Kodai were in the far corner reading a few books they had brought with them; Mina, Pony and Komori were busy painting Shoko's nails, something that the stoic girl has never done; Asui, Yanagi, Jiro, Pony and Kendo were watching a scary movie on Reiko's phone and Toru, Ochako and Setsuna were in the midst of a challenging game.

"...steady...steady...steady..."

CLASH! CLATTER!

"Damn it! I was so close!" Ochako cried in annoyance as the Jenga tower fell to pieces before her, making Setsuna and Toru whoop in joy.

"Yeah! Personal best!"

"Bad luck Ochako."

"I've never been good at this game," she sighed as she discarded the wooden block back into its box, "Can we play something else? I've got a deck of playing cards we can use."

"Now, now girls," Yaoyoruzu said in a motherly tone as she closed her book, "It's almost our curfew time so we all ought to getting prepared to go to bed."

"Aww, come on," Mina complained as she blew on Shoko's painted fingernails to dry them quicker, "We've barely did anything tonight and we're only going to do more training tomorrow. Let us enjoy our break and stay up a little longer."

"You're feeling confident for somebody who could be in remedial classes right now," Jiro spoke up, causing her to flinch and chuckle nervously, "Although, she does have a point. I quite like to stay up a little longer."

"Err...well..." Yaoyoruzu stammered before Kendo decided to step in.

"How about this. Why don't we stop what we are doing and get ready. Then we can talk until our curfew is here."

"Great. I'm up for that."

"So, am I."

They all began to gather up their sleeping bags and form a circle in the middle of the room. Yaoyoruzu looked around and noticed that Shoko had not left her place and was simply staring at her newly painted fingernails blankly. She frowned slightly in concern before she waved at her, catching her attention.

"Todoroki, won't you join us. There's a space beside me."

Shoko blinked in puzzlement before she looked down at her hands, "Pony told me to keep still or I'll mess up the varnish."

Pony giggled at her response, "That was...only when... we painting nails. Come on...here."

"Oh," Shoko said before she carefully got up and walked on over, making sure her painted nails didn't chip.

"Right," Kendo said once everyone had settled in, "What should we talk about?"

None of them noticed the smirk on Pony's face as soon as she asked that, 'An opportunity arises,' she thought as she glanced at Mina beside her, 'All I have to do now is pass the idea off as not mine and I'm sorted. If my research is correct, Ashido is the perfect candidate,' she decided before she innocently pointed to a open packet of marshmallows next to the pink-skinned girl, "Ashido...please...pass me...those marshmallows...I love them."

"Huh? Oh yeah sure," Mina said as she passed her the packet, "Here you go."

"Thanks...I love marshmellows...do you...love marshmallows too...really love them?"

"Err...sure..." Mina answered in confusion before something clicked in her brain, "Ah! But do you know what I always love?" she asked before she grinned at the other girls, "I love talking about romance!"

'Hook, line and sinker,' Pony mentally cackled before she subtly took out her notebook with the words 'Harem Plan' written on it.

The other girls were shocked and then embarrassed by Mina's question. Some of them blushed and looked away, some of them rolled their eyes while others barely reacted and stayed silent.

"R-romance? What do you mean? Shroom!"

"I mean, romance!" Mina repeated, "You know, any juicy love stories you've got! Come on you gotta tell me."

Ibara shook her head, "That is quite shameful, Ashido."

"Huh? How's it shameful? It's not a slumber party if we don't share a love story or two."

"Because..." the vine-haired girl cleared her throat and looked away shyly, "...such things should be saved until after marriage."

"Oh! So you want to be married, huh?"

"I-I never said that!"

"Calm down, Ibara. Mina's just teasing," Ochako reassured her before she gave Mina a weary look, "Come on, Mina. Do we have to?"

"Of course we do!" she cried as she pumped her fists in the air, "I want to hear some love stories!"

"But what if you don't have any love stories. They're not really my thing," Yanagi said.

"Boo...fine," Mina sighed before she grinned at them, "Alright then. How about this. Do any of you guys like any boys at the moment?"

The room fell completely silent as nobody dared to even utter a word or look Mina in the eyes. However, this only caused her (and secretly Pony) to grin triumphantly. Before she could unleash her wave of teasing comments upon the, Shoko raised her hand up.

"I like Fleetwood," she cooly said.

"WHAT!?" most of the girls yelled at her, even Mina was taken by surprise.

"You do!?" Mina gasped in panic, "But you can't-"

"And Natsu," Shoko interrupted.

"…Huh?"

"He's my older brother. I also like Midoryia, Iida, Kirishima when's not being too loud, Mr Aizawa sometimes when he's giving good advice to further my training. Cementoss-"

"Wait, wait wait," Toru interrupted her, "I think you're misunderstanding what Mina's saying. She's not asking who you like, but who you like like, you know?"

"Oh…no, I don't understand. I thought we were talking about boys we friendly with."

Most of the girls, especially Mina, sighed in relief.

"Oh wow. You really gave us a fright , Todoroki."

"What's this?" Setsuna questioned as she set her eyes on her, "Why do you look so panicked. Scared she's going to take Fleetwood, huh?"

This time it was time for Mina to blush, "Wha! I…shut up! I was just surprise, that's all."

"Not so high and might now," she teased before she hummed, "Don't blame you though. Fleetwood's a catch. Probably the best out of our two classes."

Ochako coughed and rubbed the back of her head, "Well…sure he's nice…but they're other guys…as well."

"What like Bakugo or Monoma?" Jiro grumbled, "One's a hothead and the other is borderline insane."

"Don't forget Kamakiri," Komori piped up, "He's alright, but he can be…intense, shroom."

"Or Mineta," Asui said, earning cries of disgust from the other girls.

"Ew! Don't invoke his name in this room again!" Toru said as she waved her invisible arms about.

Kendo looked over at Yaoyoruzu in sympathy, "How bad is he in class? Can't imagine what's that like."

"It's worse than you can imagine. Especially during the training exercises," she replied with a shiver, "Let's not think about the horrible boys, but rather the good ones like…well, Fleetwood."

"Well, there's Kirishima and Sero," Asui listed off, "They're not too bad."

"If Kirishima is anything like our Tetsutetsu then I'm guessing he's hardheaded enthusiasm can be…tiring," Yanagi said, "Bondo and Kuroiro are alright."

"Yeah, but Bondo so shy and Kuroiro can be creepy at times with chūnibyō act that he does," Setsuna said.

"He's not too bad once you get to know him. He's actually pretty shy as well," Komori told them.

"He only acts that way around you," Kodai plainly said.

"Huh? He does? Shroom."

"Oh, don't forget Deku," Ochako interjected, "He's can-do attitude is infectious and he's always supportive and he's…" she trailed off slightly when she sensed an unreadable aura coming off Mina. She glanced over and gulped when she saw the widest, most teasing grin on her face. She decided to end her sentence differently, "…he's…he's a good guy…yeah…"

"Interesting," Pony's remark caught them off guard, making all of them turn to her, "Can't help…noticing…that…despite naming several boys…they don't hold…a candle…to Lewis. Why's…that."

The other girls fell silent once again, none of them wanting to be the first to reply to Pony's seemingly innonccent question. Eventually, it was Setsuna who broke the silence.

"Well, I guess he's kind enough to put up with my jokes. No matter how many I throw at him," she admitted.

Mina nodded her head, "Yeah and he's very sweet. He helped me pass my exams."

"Very considerate and does his best to support me," Shoko added.

"A keen and sharp intelect," Yaoyoruzu said.

"Supports your hopes and dreams, shroom," Komori sighed.

"Accepts you for who you are as a person," Yanagi hummed thoughtfully.

"His attitude towards heroism is commedable," Ibara said as she held her hands together.

"Great with kids and kind to ofhers," Kendo admitted.

"Hot body."

"Yui!"

"Am I wrong?"

"He also doesn't treat me as if I'm not there," Toru finally said, "When I talk to him it's like I'm actually visable for once."

For the third time that evening, silence fell over the room as they considered the list of traits Lewis had; they looked shyly away from each other, trying to conceal their red faces. Ochako and Asui, on the other hand, looked at them in confusion; both of them seemed not too sure what was happening. The silence was broken suddenly when Pony slapped her knee.

"Whelp! Got…everything…I need. Going to…turn in…now," she said as she stood up and skipped over to her sleeping bag, "Good night!"

"Wait, Pony, what did you mean by that?" Kendo asked.

"Good night," Pong repeated as she climbed into her sleeping bag and laid down.

"Pony?"

"Zzzzzz! Zzzzz! Zzzzzz!"

"Stop pretending! Nobody falls asleep that fast!"


Outside The Baths

'This is it! This is it! Finally! This will be the day I get to see real life boobs!' thought Mineta as he slowly crept down the empty halls and into the women's changing rooms as quiet as a mouth, 'I managed to sneak out without those goody-two-shoes class reps noticing, made it pass Aizawa and Vlad King's rooms and timed it right for me to walk in on cat babes washing their mature bodies.'

He tiptoed through the changing room and began to undress himself, ready to for the delightful sights he was about to see.

'From my research and reconnaissance, the Pussycats have their baths just before when we're supposed to go to bed, so, if I enter now, see everything I want to see and run back to our dorms before our curfew, I won't get into trouble. I even have a perfect excuse if I get caught. I'll just say that I mixed up the baths and went into the wrong one. They can't blame for a mistake,' he thought before he licked his lips perversely, 'Maybe it'll turn out like one of those shonen manga cliches where the boy gets trapped in the hot springs. Maybe they'll give me an sexy punishment."

Victor (the author) believed he was reading more than shonen manga if he think that would happen.

Mineta wrapped a towel around his waist and snuck to the shoji door and drooled as he saw a figure through the paper door and wiggled his fingers in anticipation. He reached forwards, grabbed the door and flung it open before he rushed inside.

"Sorry for the intrusion!" he yelled as he ran through the steam and leapt at the figure like a panther, "Now let's get down to busin-oof!"

He cried out in pain as he slammed into something hard. He was expecting to land on the soft, cushiony chest of a woman…but, instead, collided with rugged, muscular chest of a man.

"Got you, you little perv!" A half-naked Tiger barked as he wrapped his arms around Mineta and hugged him against his chiselled pecs, much to shorter boy's horror, "Aizawa told us all about you and we thought you would pull something like this." 'Ahhh! No! Abort! Abort!' Mineta thought as she tried to worm his way out of his strong arms.

Tiger, however, kept him tightly wrapped in his arms, "Ha! There's no use struggling! I guess I have to teach you why you should respect women, boy," he said before his eyes glowed darkly, "Plus Ultra style."

While Mineta screamed in terror (and rightfully so), you may be wondering where the other members of the Wild Wild Pussycats were.


Men's Changing Rooms

Meanwhile, Lewis wrapped a towel around his waist and placed his glasses on the pile of clothes he had neatly folded in the locker, "I'll just have one quick bath before bed. Just long enough until everybody has settled down in the dorms," he said to himself as he rubbed his stiff muscles, "I really need one after today."

He was about to save some time and just disappear to the baths when he spotted something in one of the other lockers. He squinted at it and saw the same headset that the Pussycats wore as part of their hero costumes.

"Oh, Tiger must be in the baths as well," he said out loud, "I hope he doesn't mind me joining," he said before he disappeared suddenly.

However, his shortsightedness prevented him from seeing two other lockers that are occupied as well.

Lewis appeared on the side of the baths and slowly stepped into the warm water to escape the cool night air. He submerged himself up to his shoulders, sat down between two other people in the bath and gave a content sigh as the heat began to flow up through his body, relaxing his muscles almost instantly. He leaned his head back, rested it on the side, closed his eyes and enjoyed the expereience.

'Wait. Two people?' he thought as his eyes snapped open.

He glanced over to his left caustiously and stared at the astonished face of Mandalay sitting right beside him the water. He glanced down slightly and felt his cheeks redden when he saw her not wearing her hero costume, with only a towel covering her front. He looked to his right and saw Ragdoll grinning at him; she too only wore a towel. He then stared out straight ahead and saw, through the thick steam, an equally naked Pixie Bob who…seemed to be staring at himin both embarrasement and arousal, she licked her lips as she stared at his bare chest and took another sip of the beer bottle in her hand. Lewis cleared his throat awkawardly.

"This…this is the men's bath, right?"

"It is," Mandalay said as she placed her arms over her chest, "But you probably should have walked in normally."

"Noted," Lewis muttered as he covered his red face with his hands, "I'm really sorry."

"Hahaha! Meow! This is just like a scene from a shonen manga!" Ragdoll laughed, "How embarassing for all of us!"

Pixie Bob stood up suddenly and wrapped her arms around herself, "Kya!" she said, giving a really fake scream, "Oh no! A man saw me naked and that mean I can never get married!" she yelled before she threw the beer bottle away and pounced on him, "That means you have take responsibility! It's the law!" she proclaimed, her eyes sprakling eagerly.

"No it isn't!" Mandalay yelled at her, grabbing her and pulling her away from a terrified Lewis, "You're drunk, Ryuku! Stop it now before you destroy our public reputation!"

"Just one little kiss! That's all I'm asking!" Pixie Bob roared as she struggled in her arms.

Ragdoll joined her in keeping her at bay, "This is exactly like the time she visted the pretty boy waiter cafe, meow!"

Lewis kept his eyes closed and his face covered while the two women struggled to keep the third woman from…whatever she was trying to do with him and groaned internally.

This had been the best and worst moment at camp…so far


Camp Training Ground

It was another day at camp and, after a night's sleep that seemed too short, the students were back to training. Some were back doing the same thing they did the day before while most had different exercises that their teachers had assigned for them. Thankfully for the sake of his mental state, Lewis had been given a training session given by Tiger. He was currently punching the air in front of him a hundred times whilst being barked at by the pro-hero.

"You call that Plus Ultra! You can try harder than that!" Tiger yelled into his ear, "Keep your arm straight! Tighten your fists! Come on! Be Plus Ultra!"

"I'm…Plus Ultering…as hard…as I can!" Lewis cried as his arms and his entire body ached in pain and exhaustion.

"That's not hard enough!" Tiger roared, "Now stop! Thirty second break!"

Lewis collapsed to the ground and sighed in relief, "Tiger…if you don't mind me asking, but why am I getting this sort of training? My quirk is not strength based."

Tiger huffed and turned around from me, "Last night, we had a meeting with your teachers on where you can improve and this is what we came up with," he told him with a serious look, "You specialise in sneak attacks and support gear and your proficient in athleticism. That's all well and good, but it's not enough. You fill have to face villains much stronger than some street things like the ones you faced at the USJ," he said, making Lewis frown slightly, "That's why you are taking my Plus Ultra boot camp. To build up that Plus Ultra Strength."

Lewis staggered onto his feet and rubbed the back of his head, "I guess. But my strength comes from my speed. One strike against a villain's weak spot, like the solar plexus, throat and knees, and they'll be down, right?"

"Oh really?" Tiger growled as he looked over his shoulder at him and narrowed his eyes in determination, "Want to put that theory to the test, little kitten?" he threatened as a deadly aura emitted from him, sending a chill down Lewis spine, "Why don't you test that theory on me. I'll stay still and you'll attack me. Consider it a part of your training."

'Why do I feel like I'm walking into a trap?' he thought miserably before he took a deep breath and ducked behind a nearby tree, disappearing in an instant.

He began to rapidly circle him, using his quirk to zoom in and out, left and right, up and down through the trees; not staying in one place for a single second so he didn't have time to follow his movement. However, as he weaved himself through the treetops, he noticed that Tiger was not trying to follow his movement at all; he stood very still with his eyes closed as if he was listening to his movement.

Deciding it was the best time to strike, he appeared sideways in the air right behind him and swung his foot sharply in between his shoulders; a weak point that is effective in taking villains down.

SLAM!

His foot smashed into his back…but he was shocked to find that Tiger was hardly bothered by it. He didn't even flinch.

Instead, Tiger reached back and grabbed ahold of his leg before he could escape, "Huh? Did a little fly bump into me?" he said before he swung him around and tossed him across the forest clearing.

Lewis crashed landed on the ground and skidded until he came to a complete halt. He groaned in pain as he felt his arms and legs bruise by the impact. He was about to stumble back onto his feet, but Tiger's paw glove entered his field of vision as the muscular man offered him a hand. He took the hand and allowed him to help him back up right.

"You see the difference now," Tiger said as Lewis brushed the dirt off himself, "You've been lucky with your opponents so far and have managed to dispatch them with your speed. But that won't mean anything when it comes to me and Plus Ultra body," he said as he flexed his arms, "You will need to build up your strength to the same level as your speed. It's the difference between being hit by damp newspaper at fifty miles an hour and being hit by an iron bar at the same speed; one is going to be more effective than the other," he lectured, earning a nod of understanding from Lewis. At his response, he gave an grin and a thumbs up, "Despite that, at least you know the most effective points to take a man down. That takes commitment in battle strategy. Very Plus Ultra!"

"T-thank you," Lewis said gratefully with a wide smile before he sighed in despair, "I wish I have better luck with the rest of my training."

"Hmm? What's this?"

"I've been trying to use my quirk to get to U.A, but I'm not even close," he said miserably, "I've been racking my brain for hours on how I do it. Trying to remember the routes, any stops we made on the way here, any smells or other signs I could use that can point me in the right direction…but nope, nothing," he said as he rubbed the back of his head, "It's like that game you play on those online globes. It's long and exhausting work and-"

"Wait. What game?" Tiger asked, much to his surprise.

"You don't know?" he questioned, "You know the one you play on Google Earth where you start at a particular point really up close and then you try and find another place at the scale. Like you start at say…Land's End in Cornwall and try and find New York without zooming out."

"Never heard of it."

"Oh…I get it's a game I made up when I was bored."

Tiger crossed his arms over his chest and gave a slight hum, "I don't mess around with computers. It isn't very Plus Ultra to be dependent on technology when there are villains to be put away…"

"Just because you're not tech savvy, Tiger, doesn't mean you can put the rest of down," Lewis interjected.

"…ahem…based on your analogy, it sounds as if you're restricting yourself. Why can't you…zoom out as you put it."

"Well, because…" he began to say before an idea struck him like a thunderbolt, "Wait…why can't I?" he gasped as he rubbed his chin in thought, "I've been looking at it all wrong. I've been thinking I can just remember the route and lead on from there, but that will be impossible. However, if I think broadly of where my general location could be and narrow it down using the clues in my surroundings, I stand a better chance. This is brilliant! Let's see. It took a few hours to get from U.A to here, so I can assume that we travelled out of the prefecture. So we could be either Aichi, Gifu, Nagano, or Yamanashi. The camp is deep into the mountains and away from large cities so Aichi and Yamanashi are unlikely. So it's more likely that we're in either souther Gifu or western Nagano," he turned and began to jog away, "I need to find a map and sturdy the topography and then I can-"

He was stopped abruptly by Tiger grabbing the scuff of his tracksuit. He looked back and gulped when he saw Tiger glowering down at him intimidatingly.

"You think you can just run off from your training, huh?" he growled, "No chance, little kitten. Just for that, your practicing your punches on trees."

"Trees!?" he exclaimed as he was dragged away, 'Ah well, I guess I can try my plan later on.


Later that day, as the sun sunk over the horizon and the night ushered in, the students had their dinner and were told to gather in front of the main building for an extra special training session:

A Bravery Test!

The students, despite their tiredness from their training, were excited to do something that was actually camp related and couldn't wait to begin. However, some students were not so lucky.

"Oh no," Mina said with a fake sigh, "You guys have to take remedial classes? Such a shame. Really such a shame," she muttered while Karminari, Sero, Sato and Kirishima glared at her with deadpanned looks, "I mean, I was almost put in the remedial classes as well, so I would hate to be.."

"We get it, Ashido," Karminari muttered bitterly, "No need to rub it in."

"Go and enjoy your lousy kids game," Sero grumbled

Mina placed her hand on her cheek and mockingly grinned, "No, I'm serious. I feel so bad. But…that just how the cookie crumbles, huh. Nothing you can do-"

"Ashido," Aizawa growled as he suddenly appeared beside her, making her stiffen up in fright, "If you really feel so bad about them then it's not too late for you to join them."

Mina gulped and nodded, "Sorry, sir," she said before she rushed over to Lewis so she could hide behind him, "Help me, Neko-chan."

"I told you not to make fun of them," he simply told her.

"Aww! Come on! I just wanted to enjoy it for a little bit," she pouted, causing him to chuckle.

"Alright kittens, listen up," Pixie Bob called, calling Class 1A's attention on her and the other Pussycats, "Class B are already gone and will be first up at scaring people. Class A will be in pairs of two who will leave every three minutes. Follow the designated path around the forest and be sure to to pick up your card in the middle of the route. That card will have your name on it and will be proof that you completed the course. Ragdoll will be there to make sure things will go smoothly…"

"That's right, meow!"

"…The scaring group is not allowed to touch anyone, but scaring tactics using any or all available quirks are permitted," Pixie Bob explained before Tiger leapt before them and pumped his fist in the air.

"The winner will be the class that not only makes the most of their creativity but also makes the most people piss their pants!" he proclaimed boldly.

"Do we really need that visual?" Jiro muttered in disgust.

"I see!" Iida yelled, making everybody flinch at his sudden cry, "By pitting us against each other we can polish our skills and as a result reach a new horizon with our quirks. How expected of U.A!"

'You're reading too much into it,' his entire class thought drearily.

Lots were swiftly drawn and every one had been put into groups of two. The pairs were:

Fumikage and Shoji Shoko and Bakugo Jiro and Toru Lewis and Mina Ochako and Asui Yaoyorozu and Aoyama Ojiro and Mineta Iida and Midoryia

'Thank goodness Ashido is here,' Midoryia thought, 'Otherwise somebody would have been on their own.'

"Alright! This is going to be so much fun!" Toru cheered as she hugged Jiro who rolled her eyes playfully at her excitement.

"Yay! We're together, Neko-chin!" Mina laughed as she hugged his side, making him blush in slight embarrassment.

"Hey! Why the hell do I have to be with Icy Hot!" Bakugo yelled angrily, pointing at a miserable Shoko, "Somebody switch with me!"

"Now, now, Kacchan," Midoryia nervously told him, "It's only fair that we-"

"Did I fucking ask for your opinion, Deku! Oi! Tail guy! Switch with me!"

Ojiro gave him a weary look, "Calm down, Bakugo. You can't just force to trade places with somebody. Nobody else is doing it."

"Ashido, switch with me."

Ojiro and Bakugo snapped their heads around at the familiar voice and saw Shoko standing next to Lewis and Mina with a serious look, holding out her lot number to offer to her.

"Except for Todoroki, apparently," Ojiro murmured.

Mina, in response, grinned and hugged Lewis' arm, "Sorry. Can't do that," she sang.

Shoko narrowed her eyes, "I insist."

"Insist all you want. I ain't switching."

Lewis gave a nervous chuckle, "Err…Shoko. Why do you want to go with me. I'm honoured and all, but-"

She turned her heterochromia eyes to him. "Firstly, I wish to spend time with you. I have been busy with training and wish to spend more time with you…"

"Aww Shoko…"

"…secondly, I feel as if you won't be good at this challenge…"

"…oh."

"…I want to be by your side throughout the entire challenge to ensure Class 1A wins," she plainly said as she flicked her hair over her shoulder, "I'm going to protect you from Class 1B. So, please trust in me…I also don't want to go with Bakugo. For obvious reasons."

"Huh!? What was that half n' half!" Bakugo yelled, "What are you trying to say, you piece of shit!"

"I'm saying that I hate you and wish to spend not any time with you," she sharply replied, earning a vicious growl from him. She then turned back to Lewis, "Am I being too harsh?"

"A little…but it's justified."

"SHUT IT YOU-"

"ENOUGH!" Tiger roared, getting everybody's attention, "Everybody stays with the lots they choose," he ordered before he pointed at Fumikage and Shoji, "You two. Your first to take the course. Prepare yourselves for a Plus Ultra fright."

And so, the third day of camp was coming to end with a test of courage; something fun after days of non-stop training. However, unbeknownst to them, another danger was not too far away.


Cliff Edge

The ten figures could see the hidden camp hidden amongst the trees down below. They wanted the students to safe. They had been trying so hard to conceal themselves from any intruders, so they could train and enjoy the delights of summer in peace…

…unfortunately, it was all in vain.

"Alright everybody. This is it," one of the figures said in low tone, "We've only got one chance so if any of you screw up then it's on your head."

"Let's go now," another figure said as he licked his lips, "I can't wait to see blood."

"Taste flesh! Must taste flesh!" another figure hissed hungrily.

"Wait. What was the plan again? Ah! Who cares! I'm just going to go with the flow! But it may be important to stick to it. No way! I say we charge in now and attack them before they realise what's up!"

"Fufufu," a feminine voice laughed, "Little rabbit's down there. I'm so excited to meet him again."

"What a bunch of weirdos," another figure muttered as he straightened out his purple hair.

"Shut it, you psychopaths," the first figure sighed as he took a deep breath and made several blue flames appear on his body, "Get ready. We're setting off right now."


And that's it for now. I hope you enjoyed this little slice of life/ training chapter. Sorry again it came out so late.

From this training, Lewis' skills will be expanding into new areas; three skills in particular will emerge from this which I will reveal later on.

Thanks for reading :)
