17: Camp Isn't Like The American Movies At All

"Gaman að kynnast þér." Sanyu said. At least five people smacked their foreheads.

"You just had to ask for something harder." Asui said, shaking her head at Midoriya.

In the end they were unable to guess the correct answer, Icelandic, and he moved onto another one at their insistence.

"Okay." Sanyu said. "This one is geographically closer.". The group perked up at that. The boy thought back to Tao Ling and once again, almost smiled. His emotions felt so close to the surface it was kind of scary. "你最喜欢的颜色是什么?".

"Chinese!" A couple people blurted out happily.

"It's Chinese! I know this one!" Sero said excitedly.

"One point." Sanyu said, a glint of mischief in his eyes. "But what does it mean?". The class groaned.

The game went on for the next 30 minutes of the trip before they arrived.

------- -------- --------- ---------- --------- ---------- --------- -----------

Sanyu took action the moment he felt the cliff start to give way. He grabbed the people closest to him, who turned out to be Hagakure and Ojiro.

He carried them to the ground, struggling a bit under the weight of two people. He still wasn't back to peak physical performance after his week of dehydration and malnourishment and his days in a coma.

It was frustrating but slowly he was getting better.

Speaking of getting better, when he confirmed that everyone was safe he started grumbling to himself under his breath in English.

"What's wrong?" Midoriya asked as they started their trek through the forest.

"I was supposed to call my therapist when we arrived. There's no cell service out here." He explained. Midoriya nodded understandingly.

"I'm sure they'll understand." He assured his classmate-friend? Friend. "And it's not like we won't have cell service when we get closer. We wont be out here all day or anything like that.".

About an hour later, they were close enough to get cell service. They were also locked in battle with the dirt monsters. Sanyu didn't really care though.

"I'd really like to hear your opinions on the foster families Detective Tsukauchi picked out." Inue said, "I know all the adults have made their choices, but the most important person in this interaction is you.".

"I understand sir. I'll review them later." Sanyu said as he raised his free hand to blast the shit out of a monster that got too close. His class gawked at him a little before turning back to their own fights. Multitasking wasn't typically a strength of his outside of missions and this was certainly not a mission.

"I'm serious, Oyama. You've got a whole new life ahead of you, you should choose how it goes." The man said, the passion audible in his voice.

"Yes sir." The boy replied automatically as he turned to pull Jiro out of the way right before a monster's hardened claw could rip her to shreds.

"We haven't talked about how you feel about foster siblings yet. There's a mix of those with and those without. How are you feeling about that? " Inue asked, "Do you think it changes anything for you-what are you doing right now? ".

"I'm a camp, sir." Sanyu said, feeling very called out. The pro hero must have heard the monster's roars through the phone.

"What are you doing at camp right now? Resting up from a long day on the bus, I hope." The man's words told Sanyu that he did not at all think that was what they were doing.

"They started the exercises a little earlier than I anticipated, hence why I was late contacting you." The boy explained.

"Oyama, what are you doing right at this very moment? I need details.". Sanyu could imagine the man was pinching the area where his nose met his forehead at this very moment, the way he did when he was stressed.

"I'm in a forest fighting dirt monsters, sir." He answered honestly. Although his tone still held some mischief.

"You're calling me while you fight monsters?" Hound Dog repeated.

"Yes sir." Sanyu replied. Inue sighed. "We had an appointment." The boy defended, "I need to complete these sessions to adjust to this world and continue on-" he almost said 'doing hero work' but he caught himself. Luckily no one seemed to have heard him, so it would be fine.

"You know, this is for your own benefit. No one would make you talk to me if they didn't think it would help you heal from the trauma you suffered in your old world." Inue said. Sanyu had to hold back from rolling his eyes.

"I've told you before sir, I don't think I'm a victim." He said. The 'I just think I'm fundamentally fucked up' part was left out.

He wasn't a victim, he was pretty damn close to being the 'abuser' in a lot of the situations. Innocent people had been injured on some of his missions some had even been-hell he couldn't even say it.

Sanyu left the forest with the weight of his old world back on his shoulders while guilt ate at his chest. What type of guilt it was-he didn't know. Hound Dog had talked about lots of 'em. Natural guilt, maladaptive guilt, existential guilt, survivors guilt.

He was starting to think he had all of them. Not doing hero work is only making it worse.

He's here, enjoying paradise in a world full of people like him, while the three remaining members of the Six are fighting for the lives of everyone on earth. Fuck-he doesn't even know if they're still alive.

And he can't even enjoy his second chance at life because at some point along the way he got fucked up.

It wouldn't be the first time he finished a session with Inue and felt worse.

A slightly happy-slightly sad chapter! 

BTW I tried my best with the translations and didn't just use google translate, but that doesn't mean they're correct. If any part of them is wrong, tell me! Please! 😊

The languages game was inspired by the fact I just got into the school of my choice for Linguistics!🥳

 I've always loved languages, studying them and learning how they work so I'm incredibly excited! The school I got accepted to is literally the best in my home country and one of the best in the world and I'm psyched! 

Not to mention this came around the same time I hit 900 followers 😅. You guys have really outdone yourself. 

I only had 788 of you on February 3rd and now 30 days later I have 900. I seriously love you all so goddamn much 😭😭

From the bottom of my heart thank you all so much 💕

(P.S. Expect a new fic soon to celebrate the milestone 👀)
