Class 1-A was exhausted. They had battled their way through a beast-infested forest just to reach the camp. Tired, sweaty, and grimy as all hell, they finally reached the clearing and stood there panting.
Pixie-Bob greeted them with her usual flair."Oh, you're all finally here, nya~"
Mandalay, standing beside Aizawa and slightly behind her partner, added dryly, "It took you quite some time."
The class trudged past the treeline, looking worse for wear, like they'd just come out of a straight warzone. Their movements were sluggish, zombie-like, as if they had forgotten what rest felt like.
Then someone from the class exclaimed, "What do you mean, three hours?!"
(It had been about 9:30 a.m. when they started, and now the clock read 5:40 p.m. Still, not bad for first-years.)
"It was the time it would've taken us to do it. Sorry!" Mandalay replied, her faux apology laced with teasing.
"You were trying to boast about how much better you are? That's so mean…" Sato asked, still panting but clearly wanting an answer at the same time.
Before Mandalay could respond, Eijiro Kirishima cut Sato off with a groan. "Man, I'm starving! If I don't get food right now, I'll die for sure!"
"Neko neko neko neko neko!" Pixie-Bob giggled into her paw-shaped gloves.
"But honestly, I thought it would take you all even longer. You didn't have as hard a time with my earth beasts as I expected. I'm impressed. You're all great… especially you four!"
The cat-themed hero's eyes sparkled as she looked over to ogle Tenya Iida, Izuku Midoriya, Shoto Todoroki, and Katsuki Bakugo.
"Were you able to act without hesitation because of your experience?" she added with a lick of her lips, before dashing over to the four. "I'm looking forward to where you'll be in three years! I call dibs!"
While the four fended off the overly flirtatious Pixie-Bob, Aizawa turned to Mandalay with the most important question."…Mandalay, was she always like that?"
Mandalay sighed knowingly. "She's a little desperate, since she's at the suitable age for, you know…"
Izuku, overhearing the last part, blinked. "Speaking of 'suitable age'—"
He didn't get to finish. Pixie-Bob grabbed his head with her oversized paw-glove. "What about it?"
Muffled under the glove, Izuku pointed toward the small boy beside Mandalay. "I-it's been bothering me for a while now… whose child is that?"
The boy was short, wearing shorts, high boots, a loose white button-up shirt, and a red cap with yellow protrusions. Messy dark hair stuck out from beneath it.
Mandalay waved her hands quickly. "He's not mine! He's my cousin's kid. Come on, Kota. Greet everyone."
Izuku approached first, bowing slightly. "Oh, um, I'm Izuku Midoriya from U.A. High School's Hero Course. Nice to meet you."
But as he reached out to shake Kota's hand, a minute twitch crossed his body. Nobody noticed it, but in that instant, the winds of change blew into a hurricane.
Izuku Midoriya's body was taken over by a man not from this world. A man who knew the story, the characters, and what was to come.
And in that moment, to save his family jewels, he dodged.
Tenya Iida, ever the class representative, had been watching. Though he would never admit it, he was just as tired as everyone else. But duty demanded he set the example. So when he saw Izuku about to fall victim to a cheap shot from a child, he sprinted forward.
Too late.
Izuku had already moved, dodging gracefully, avoiding a lifetime of soprano singing. He knelt down to eye-level with Kota and said calmly, "Hey, kid, that wouldn't have been nice at all. Men don't kick each other in the nuts. That's a no-go."
Kota froze, shocked. Without a word, he turned and walked back inside the lodge.
Finally, Aizawa stepped up to restore order. Casting a subtle, approving glance at Izuku, he addressed the class."Alright. Enough of this charade. Get your stuff off the bus. Once you've put your bags in your rooms, eat dinner in the cafeteria. After that, bathe and go to sleep. We'll start for real tomorrow. Now hop to it."
Dinner was hearty, conversation lively. The bath afterward, however, brought its own chaos.
Mineta, perverted as ever, tried to justify his "mission" with philosophical nonsense to justify peeking. Iida attempted to stop him, but the grape-haired menace used his Quirk, Pop Off, and began scaling the wall with his sticky orbs.
Fortunately, Kota happened to be nearby. When he spotted Mineta nearing the top, he simply pushed him back down."You're the worst."
The girls on the other side cheered for him. Unfortunately, when Kota looked over, he was met with the sight of Class 1-A's girls in their birthday suits. His face flushed scarlet, and a trickle of blood dripped from his nose as he fainted and toppled.
Only to be caught by Izuku's quick reflexes before he hit the water.
The rest of the night went on smoothly, and soon the camp was quiet. Everyone drifted to sleep, hopefully to sweet dreams.
Because tomorrow… Izuku—or rather, the man now inhabiting him—would have his first true taste of his Hero Academia.
