"Those who want to be heroes, are not allowed to have a break," Aizawa said to the class who was standing in front of him "In this summer training camp you will aspire further for the Plus Ultra"
"Yes sir!" The class replied
"Before we leave, please turn in all of your cell phones. They will stay here, this is for safety reasons and so you don't get distracted. You may take music players or other devices required by your quirk... now place them on this box" Aizawa said while showing a box and all of the students started to place them there
"I wish I could at least take pictures," Mina said a little disappointed
"I am taking a small camera, I want to make a big album of everything that happens!!!" Niji said while giving many short jumps of joy around everybody.
"Can't believe that we are going to a training camp~ I really hope I can get to the thermal waters, and be able to make myself prettier~" Aikou said with a sensual tone
"I look forward to eating, I hope that there are good meals," Aoi said with a smile "(I don't look forward to the training... I don't know what Aizawa wants to do... I won't have a way to escape if he tries to question me)" Aoi thought a little worried
"AAAH ITS TIME FOR THE CAMP" Uraraka screamed with a big blush "CAMP, CAMP, CAMP!"
Mina, Niji, and Kaminari joined her in her chanting.
"Something tells me this will be a good trip" Aikou commented while watching the guys cheering
Aoi smiled at her but looked to the other side with some guilt on her face
"HAAA?! SO THERE ARE PEOPLE FROM CLASS A WHO HAVE EXTRA CLASSES?!" Monoma screamed giving off his attempt on being intimidating "DOES THAT MEAN THAT THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO FAILED THE FINAL EXAM?! ISN'T THAT WEIRD? IT IS REALLY WEIRD! ISN'T CLASS A SUPPOSED TO BE BETTER THAN CLASS B?!!!!" he started to get a little too hyperactive but Kendo appeared and gave him a hit on the back of his head to knock him out
"I am sorry!" Kendo said while waving to the Class A students and taking Monoma from the clothes to drag him to the bus
Those who were watching him were highly concerned
"I wonder if I would think the same had I been placed in class B... I still wonder why they placed four extra students in class A instead of placing two extra ones in each class or being like other years and just admitting 20..." Aoi commented
"I heard they said that the results were so good for many that they could not pass the chance to miss some students" Midoriya replied
"I actually heard I was going to be placed on class B first along with Honenuki so it would distribute those accepted by recommendation... and it would be even. But Setsuna had really good results and I guess that is why I was placed in class A for being the Odd one out" Aoi said while looking at Honenuki
"So you are friends with Honenuki?" Aikou asked
"Not really, we talked a little while we were doing the recommendation trial" Aoi replied
"Recommendation trial?" Midoriya asked
"Yes, basically there are many students who enter by recommendation from companies, agencies, or pro heroes. Since there are so many due to many kids being born from high-rank pro heroes or having connections to agencies, it is necessary to make a trial to choose the best from there. There were 20 during the one I took. On the practical part Todoroki came out first, I second, on third there was this guy... he had a wind type of quirk. And on the written part it was pretty even in the top spots. Either way, Honenuki, Todoroki, Tokage, Yaoyorozu, the wind guy and I came in the top 6. I guess if the wind quirk guy had accepted, he would be in class A and I would be in class B for equal distribution" Aoi replied
"So much information and I am still lost..." Aikou said while looking at Aoi
"That is impressive! Who came first? Second?! Who was the guy with the wind quirk?" Midoriya asked
"I have no idea, I actually found it weird that I didn't see him here" Aoi replied
"I think his name was Inasa" Honenuki said while getting close to them
"Honenuki" Aoi said while looking at him "How are you doing?"
"Really well" He replied
"Ah, Class B!" Midoriya exclaimed while they got close
"We met better during the Sports Festival," Tokage said "It is good to see you, class A"
"Guys! Let's get on the bus!" Kendo said
"Apart from Class A, the girls from Class B will be there," Mineta said with a perverted expression "It will be a wonderful buffet"
"Mineta~" Aoi said while she got close to him and placed her hand on his shoulder "Of you dare lay a finger on Aikou I swear I will make sure your body is never found," She said with a terrifying aura that made Mineta shiver
"Yeah dude, stop with that" Kirishima said to Mineta "That is not really manly of you"
"Class A's bus has arrived!" Iida screamed while using his arms to indicate directions "Please sit based on your seat in class!" he said while trying to guide the students
Aoi, Aikou, Hakkotsu, and Niji sat at the very back of the bus since they were the first ones to enter. Iida kept insisting on sitting in Alphabetical order, but Aoi wanted to sit next to Aikou. She didn't want to part from her at all. As soon as they sat, Aoi closed her eyes and leaned back. She wanted to hear music but without her phone, she didn't have anything on hand. Aikou sat next to her and took out a magazine and started to read.
"At least you brought entertainment," Aoi said while looking at Aikou
"Of course~ I want to read as much as possible about models if I want to be part of that world too" Aikou replied
"Why not go full-time on Modeling instead?" Aoi asked looking at her
"Aoi... I've noticed that you-" Aikou was about to ask something but Niji got close
"HEY GUYS!!! I BROUGHT ALL OF THESE!!! Do you want some?!" Niji asked while showing a bag of candies
"You seem excited" Aoi replied to Niji
Aikou looked at how Aoi avoided the conversation in an instant, so she just looked down at her magazine a little uncomfortable but asked herself why Aoi keeps insisting on her leaving her studies to become a hero.
Niji smiled while looking at them "Of course I am excited! It is the first time I go camping! Aizawa sensei was really kind to convince my father and mother! But they still insisted on not letting me go, but Aizawa promised them that I will be safe at all times" Niji replied while she sat on her seat next to Aikou while Hakkotsu sat on the window opposite to Aoi "Also, if there will be so many measures to avoid villains attacking us to even not letting us take our phones, then I guess there is nothing to worry"
"Yeah... you are right," Aoi said while she looked at her wrist and saw her bracelet which had the star that she was given that had the tracker "(There is nothing to worry about... All I know is that nothing will be ok...)" Aoi noticed that Aikou was eating some of the stuff Niji brought "Hey would you like some of this? It is a herbal tea my grandma made"
"Oh, sure" Aikou replied while she took a big sip of the tea with a smile "Thanks"
"(My only goal right now... is to make sure Aikou is safe, no matter what)" Aoi thought while looking at her with a corresponding smile
~~~~~
Start of Flashback
Aoi was standing in front of Shigaraki and Kurogiri with the others that joined the league thanks to Giran standing there as well.
"The class will be leaving the day after tomorrow. All phones will be confiscated as told, so my only connection will be the tracker. Also, the location is rather unknown. The professors have decided to keep it secret to avoid any incidents, meaning they don't suspect there is a traitor among the students, so there shouldn't be a reason for my stuff to be analyzed in any way" Aoi stated trying to be as serious as possible. However, she still felt her heart broken after the news she received at the hospital before "As far as I know, some professors will be attending too, but not all, so there is an advantage. As for All Might, he won't be going"
"Then the plan is settled, we will send all the troops. We have three goals to meet and I hope none of you fail" Shigaraki said while looking at Aoi
"Hai hai!" Toga said with a sinister smile "I'll make sure to get the blood of many students, that way I can help Aoi-chan~"
"As for the others..." Shigaraki continued
"I'll use my quirk to make sure to capture Bakugo and Tokoyami," Mr. Compress said while making a pose
"I'll make copies so that they are all distracted, that way things will go perfectly and smoothly!!!!" Twice added "As for Dabi, he will make sure things are contained. Oh, and Muscular will be the one dealing with Bakugo as well"
"Glad we have a good plan now" Kurogiri commented
Aoi clicked her tongue in anger since she still hated the idea of trying to convince Bakugo and Tokoyami to join since it would place her in a risky position and she felt like she would be discarded afterward
Snyde just nodded
"Master should also provide us with Nomus so the students don't interfere with the plan... as for the doll..." Shigaraki said while looking at Snyde "I want you to make sure we don't lose. Kill whoever intervenes"
Snyde looked at him and nodded once more
"Is there anything else that you are interested in?" Aoi asked
"No... now leave" Shigaraki said
Aoi looked at Shigaraki in surprise, but instead of feeling sad about still being pushed away, she just accepted it. She bowed and left, nervous about what was going to come up next.
"(I wanted to request help for my grandfather... maybe if I am successful in this, they will hear me out. All For One promised to help me... I just need their attention)" Aoi thought while walking home
End of Flashback
~~~~~~
Everyone on the bus was making a lot of noise talking about what they would be doing at the camp and what they were expecting. Aoi kept quiet. She felt nervous. Aikou ended up falling asleep on Aoi's shoulder while Aoi just looked out the window trying to memorize the route, but she was not sure at all about where was she going.
"Hey, Aoi!" Sero said while looking at her since he was sitting in front of her "What do you think?" he asked
"About what?" Aoi asked while she tried not to move much to avoid Aikou waking up
"That we should have some camp games! Are you down?" Sero asked
"Sure thing, what type of games do you guys think we should do?" Aoi asked with a soft smile
"Maybe we should tell scary stories! And the one who gets scared the first loses!" Mineta said who was sitting in front of Niji
"Now that sounds interesting" Aoi replied while the bus started to slow down.
"We will be making a stop here..." Aizawa said to everybody and all of the students got ready to get off
Aoi looked at Aikou and used her hand to shake her really soft "Aikou, wake up"
Aikou slowly opened her eyes and fixed her posture
"Are we there?" Aikou asked
"No, we are just making a quick stop," Aoi said while the bus fully stopped
"Very well, I still feel very sleepy so I will just get off to stretch and then go back to sleep," Aikou said while she gave a short yawn
All the students got off and started to stretch while some were looking around.
"(A forest... Ugh. I hate areas where I don't have many metals around... I think that is the thing I hate the most about this camp... taking the other thing to the side of course)" Aoi thought while looking to the distance
"Aa~ We are finally taking a break," Jiro said while looking to the forest as well
"WAAAAA THIS IS SO PRETTY!" Niji said excitedly
"It is similar to the forest in UA... " Hakkotsu said while standing next to Niji
"But this is an actual forest!" Niji said while she leaned over the rail to have a better view
"I need to go to the restroom!" Mineta said while holding his lower part as in trying to contain it while running around looking for a restroom
"Hold up, does this count like a rest area?" Kaminari asked
"And where is class B?" Jiro asked
"There is no way we stopped without a reason," Aizawa said to the class
All of the students looked in his direction confused.
"And the restroom?" Mineta asked sweating
A black car arrived and parked in front of them and the doors opened. The students looked in their direction without knowing who it was.
"Hi, Eraser" said a femenine voice
Aizawa just lowered his head in acknowledgment "Long time no see" he said while two ladies stepped out of the car
"On sight with shining eyes!" Said the lady wearing red clothing while moving similar to those giels during transformations in anime shows
"Sharply cute and feline!" said the lady with the blue clothing while doing similar movements to the other one
"Wild wild...." Started both ladies in unison "Pussycats!" They said while giving a wonderful pose
Next to them, there was a small kid with a cap, and as soon as Hakkotsu noticed she stepped back quickly and hid behind everyone.
"The pro heroes who will accompany us are the Pussycats" Aizawa added
"A TEAM OF FOUR PEOPLE WHO MADE THEIR OWN AGENCY!!" Midoriya exclaimed incredibly excited "They are a group of veterans specialized in mountain rescue! This will be the twelfth year that-"
"I AM 18 FROM HEART!" Pixie Bob screamed while she placed her claw on his face angrily "From the heart" she repeated while showing her claws to Midoriya
"You are 18..." Midoriya replied with the claw on his face
"She sounds desperate," Kirishima said from the distance
"Introduce yourselves..." Aizawa said to the class
"ITS A PLEASURE!" The class replied
"All of this land is ours," Mandalay said while pointing to the forest "You guys will be staying at the bottom of the mountain over there," She said while pointing to that directions
"That's so far" The whole class said in unison
"Eh? Then why did we stop here?" Uraraka asked
"You don't mean..." Tsuyu continued
"They are kidding right?" Aoi commented while getting nervous
"No, it can't be," Sato said while looking at them
"Why don't we return to the bus? Like... Quickly" Sero said while he started to go back to the bus
"Yeah, let's do that" Kaminari added while also attempting to go back to the bus. Other students nodded in agreement
"It is 9:30 a.m., if you guys hurry, you might reach it by 12" Mandalay said with a sinister tone
"No. Wait-" Kirishima started to exclaim nervously
"Run!" Mina said while all the students tried to rush back to the bus
"The kittens who don't make it by 12:30 won't eat" Mandalay added
"I apologize," Aizawa said while looking at the students attempting to go back to the bus "The camp..." he continued while Pixie Bob intercepted them and used her quirk to send them flying over the mountain "Has begun"
A huge wave of dirt washed them all out and they landed at the bottom of the hill they were at first. All of the students screamed in confusion and fear and once they all landed they all had to recover from the sudden hit. Aoi stood up and fixed her clothes noticing they were all now full of dirt.
"Hey! this is private property, so you guys are free to use your quirks!" Mandalay screamed to them "You guys have three hours! Get there on your own feet! Of course, after passing through the forest of the beasts!"
"Forest... of the beasts?" Hakkotsu murmured for herself
"Sounds like a name from Dragon Quest!" Kaminari exclaimed
"You also play Dragon Quest?!" Aoi asked excitedly
"Yes! I like playing as a bandit or a knight!" Kaminari said
"Oh! I prefer going as a priest. Even tho I love offensive, priests have so many advantages in many fights against demons" Aoi replied
"This is no time to talk about games!" Iida interrupted
"U.A. always doing this sort of things..." Jiro exclaimed
"I wish I could've slept more," Aikou said while standing up
"Is this how all camps start?" Niji asked while looking around
"Not exactly" Uraraka replied with a nervous laugh
"There is no point in complaining" Kirishima added while he stood up and brushed the dust from his shirt "Let's go!"
"I can't hold it any longer!" Mineta screamed while heading towards the wood attempting to so his necessities but a huge beast appeared from the shadows and tried to attack him
"That's a Beast!" All of the students screamed in unison
"Is it yours?!" Niji asked Hakkotsu
"No... mine are only skeletal... this has a rigid body. It must belong to those girls" Hakkotsu replied
The beast was about to attack Mineta and Koji tried to use his quirk but it had no effect. Aikou also tried to use her quirk on it but there was no response.
"It must be just a moving thing imitating an animal, meaning it is not alive," Aikou said while she shut down her quirk
Right before Mineta got crushed by the beast, Midoriya saved him. As soon as the monster gave a step attempting to attack the others, Hakkotsu made a creature in the form of a Dragon and made both of them fight in order to distract it while Midoriya used his quirk to smash it into pieces.
"Great work Akatsuki!" Midoriya said while he got next to the dragon
"I could make us a ride... but there is way too much forest, my creatures could trip and cause more trouble" Hakkotsu replied while she placed a hand on the dragon
"Then let's clear the way as much as we can!" Niji said while she used her quirk on a lollipop and hammered down another beast that was getting close
"Class 1-A! LET'S MOVE!" Iida screamed
"HAI!" The rest of the students replied while they entered the forest and started to destroy all creatures that appeared
"Yaoyorozu!" Aoi said while she jumped from tree to tree to get a higher terrain
Yaoyorozu used her quirk to create a large chain that Aoi took control of immediately and started to use as a weapon to either wrap the creatures strong enough to destroy them or to hit them hard enough from the top to beat them down. She then broke down a piece from the chains and tied them to her waist so she could use it the same way as her belt to elevate herself when necessary. All of the students were killing beast after beast, some even overusing their quirks and ending up being unable to move properly anymore.
"My legs are tired" Aikou exclaimed with her trembling legs while a beast was about to crush her
"AIKOU LOOK OUT!" Aoi screamed but then noticed how Kaminari got on top of the beast and used his quirk to knock it out but ended up overusing it "Kaminari!" She exclaimed while heading towards them and using the chain to tie both of them up and move them
"We need to not waste our quirks!" Iida screamed "It will be harder for us to reach the end"
"I can carry them!" Hakkotsu said while she created a big monster with a big opening in the part of its belly similar to the one they used during the practical exam
Aoi nodded and using the chain she placed both Kaminari and Aikou inside so they would be safe.
"Are you ok?" Aoi asked Aikou
"I feel too tired for some reason... I feel sick" She replied, "I think the tea you gave me was a little too much for me combined with the treats"
"I'm sorry, once we get there let's make sure you get looked at," Aoi said with a gentle smile while she went back to help the others get through the forest "(Had I known we were going to have this surprise trial, I would've drugged her later... shit. I messed up)"
~~~~~~
It took a few hours, the sun was already setting meaning it took over 5-6 hours. In the last kilometer, Hakkotsu made many horses so all the class could ride them and rest in the last chunk of the area they were still missing. As soon as they arrived she turned all of the creatures to dust and started breathing a little heavily while watching how the skin on the tip of her fingers was falling off.
"Are you ok Hakko chan?" Niji asked
Hakkotsu nodded while looking at Niji "I didn't replenish enough calcium this morning... My brot-... we just ran out..." she said interrupting herself making Niji confused but decided to ignore it
"Ha! You guys are here!" Pixie Bob said while watching them arrive
"It sure took you a long time" Mandalay added while looking at them
Everybody was beaten up. Aoi's arms were a little numb due to overusing her quirk. Bakugo's hands were strained. Todoroki was exhausted. Aikou was sick with Kaminari having 0 brain cells at the moment. They all wanted to lay down.
"How did you guys expect us to take three hours?!" Sero asked
"That is how much it would've taken us. I apologize" Pixie Bob replied
"If we had kept fighting that last part, I don't think my arms would be good enough to use them the rest of the week," Aoi said while she was massaging them
"Actually years ago one of the classes from Aizawa took only 2 hours, I think it was three years ago" Mandalay added while trying to think "How are they doing?"
"They graduated last year, most of them are all pro heroes now" Aizawa replied
"In my opinion, they only managed thanks to that girl who made the tsunami" Pixie Bob commented
"Tsunami?" Midoriya asked
"just graduated?" Aoi asked for a moment while remembering some stuff "Does that mean that it was the class Kaito was in? The son of Captain Boom?" she asked
"Yes. Yoshida Kaito was a student of mine" Aizawa replied
"aah he is an adult already? maybe I should go and look for him~" Pixie Bob said with a sinister smile
"Then who is the tsunami person?" Midoriya asked
"Hashimoto Rika. She now goes by the name of Lemon Fizz. Her quirk was capable of making huge tsunamis of fizz, and they used her to get across the forest avoiding everything. But that kind of destroyed the idea of making all of the students fight since they all depended on her to cross" Aizawa replied
"Isn't Lemon Fizz the one who promotes the soda Spripe?" Aikou asked
"Yes..." Aizawa replied
"I actually was expecting you guys to get here at least in three hours. All of your quirks are way stronger than past generations and of course you guys are 24 in comparison to that class being 20 or us being 2" Mandalay said
"Is this all to smug about how good you guys are and how bad we are?" Sato asked while lying on the floor "That is so mean"
"I am so hungry. I am dying" Kirishima exclaimed
"THAT WAS SO EXCITING!" Niji said while jumping around "Training Camp is the best!"
"How come you are so full of energy?" Mina asked
"I want this to be the best experience of all! I won't spend a single moment complaining" Niji replied while she took out a gummy and used her quirk to make it large so she could sit on it. Some of the other students sat next to her
"Well, in reality, we knew you guys were going to take so long," Pixie Bob said laughing a little "It is true we were expecting you guys to be more agile and coordinated since it wouldn't be the first time you've seen a beast, but the distance sure increases the strain"
Hakkotsu was impressed by Pixie Bob's words and looked at her hand which still had the tip of the fingers showing some bones.
"You see Hakko Chan, she is a hero with a quirk that makes beasts. That means you will be a hero too just like her!" Niji said with a smile to her
Hakkotsu looked at her and nodded "you are right"
"Above all..." Pixie Bob continued "You four from there," she said while pointing to Midoriya, Todoroki, Iida, and Bakugo "Were you able to act without a second doubt due to your experience?" she asked while licking her lips "I want to see you in three years! I CLAIM YOU!" she screamed while launching herself towards them with her claws
"w-what are you?!" Midoriya exclaimed while the four of them covered their faces with their arms
"Mandalay, has she always been like this?" Aizawa asked
"She is at that age, so she is a little desperate" Mandalay replied
"She sure is desperate... reminds me of someone" Aoi exclaimed while she was about to look at Aikou but she seemed like she was about to collapse "Aikou..." Aoi said while she rushed to her side and placed her arm around her neck so she could keep herself standing.
"I feel really sick..." Aikou said while she closed her eyes and rested on Aoi
"Who is that kid?" Midoriya asked
"Ah, he is my cousin's son" Mandalay said "Kota, greet them. You will be with them for a week"
Hakkotsu gave some steps backward.
"Hey Hakkotsu, do you not like kids?" Uraraka asked
"No..." Hakkotsu replied
"Hi, I am Midoriya from the Hero Course in U.A. Nice to meet you" He said to Kota while extending his hand to greet him but Kota decided to punch him in the balls.
"MIDORIYA!" Iida said while rushing to his side "How dare you do that to his scrotum!"
"I don't pretend to spend time with guys who want to be heroes" Kota replied
Mandalay and Aizawa watched Midoriya in pain while Aoi got close to them with Aikou leaning over her.
"Mr. Aizawa... Aikou. She-" Aoi started while looking at how Aiku was breathing heavily and her skin was incredibly pale "She got sick at the beginning, and since she has only gotten worse"
"Oh my... I'll take her to a room so she can get some medicine and feel better," Mandalay said while she passed Aikou from Aoi's shoulder to her's
Aizawa noticed how there was something strange "Do you know what happened?" He asked
"Probably something made her feel sick from the snack we ate on our way here" Aoi replied trying to be serious
Aizawa looked at her with a serious expression trying to read her face expecting to see if there was something else going on.
"It seems he believes you did something~ Now now, isn't it weird that you are suspicious of doing something to your own best friend ~ how bad has your acting been lately?" The reflection said making herself visible in one of the windows of the building
Aoi was stunned to hear the voice and she looked at Aikou's state. Aizawa noticed her sudden change of expression and just nodded "We will take care of her. The rest, please go and take your stuff from the bus. Take everything to your rooms and you will have dinner in the cafeteria, then shower, and then go to sleep" he said to the class "Tomorrow we will start the serious training"
The students started to walk toward the bus but Aoi was now nervous
"(You are supposed to be grounded. Why are you out?)" Aoi thought to the reflection
"When you are weak... I am strong, and right now you are doubting all of your decisions. Don't worry, I won't force myself out~ I am just here to support you~ Maybe you should leave the acting to me~ Cause I doubt you will be strong enough for what is coming~" The reflection said
"Shut up...." Aoi whispered in a low tone
"Why? Your only friend is now drugged and sick because of you so she can be out of danger~ You'll need someone to talk to~ Someone to rely on in case something happens~" The reflection said
"(Please... not now...)" Aoi looked at her wrist to the bracelet with the tracker "(Things are going well... just be silent for now. I don't want to seem nervous...)" Aoi thought while looking at the star "(Everything will be fine...)"
~~~~~
Everybody took their bags to their rooms and headed to the cafeteria and saw a huge amount of food.
"Let's enjoy our meal!" Said Kaminari
"HAAAAI!" They all replied while they started to eat
Aoi was eating rather slowly since Aikou was not around and she was going to prepare a plate for her.
"Aoi~" Mandalay said while getting close to her "I already took some food to her, she will rest in another room so we can take a close look at her in case she feels sick again. No need to worry"
"Thank you" Aoi said with a gentle smile but still kept eating slowly
"You don't need to be sad Aoi. Aikou will be ok" Mina said while eating next to her
"Y-yeah, I just hope that she gets better and gets to enjoy the camp" Aoi replied
"That was a better lie~ You are learning to be more natural~" The reflection said making herself visible on the glass of water she had
"I have a question, so the room for the girls is of normal size?" Sero asked
" Yeah, is yours a bigger one?" Jiro asked
"Oh, could we go and give it a look later?" Mina asked
"Sure thing!" Sero replied
"(I bet Aikou would've like these activities... but if I had not drugged her, she would have been in danger. I'll take her out once everything is done)" Aoi thought with a smile
"We will only attend to you today, so eat as much as you guys want," Pixie Bob said to the class
"Thanks!" They all replied in unison
Once they finished eating they all went to the thermal waters to take a bath. The girls are separated from the boys by a wall. Aoi got in the water and started to wash out all of the dust from her skin. The humidity ended up making her hair go fully straight, making her look like a whole different person.
"Wow Aoi, you look beautiful with straight hair!" Uraraka said while looking at her
"Thanks but, I don't like it. I don't feel myself when I have straight hair" She said while washing it
"How come? It looks really nice" Uraraka asked
"It actually looks really elegant and feminine" Yaoyorozu said
"Yup, it looks like Hakko's and Momo's" Niji said while they all noticed how her hair was incredibly long and curly since it wasn't tied up
"That is exactly why I don't like it straight," Aoi said with a smile "My family has always been one who adores beauty and perfection, but my grandparents apparently didn't want the family to force their customs on me, and always supported me. My grandpa let me keep my fangs, let me have a messy hairstyle, wear the clothes I wanted... and I want to keep it that way"
"What's wrong with your fangs?" Niji asked
"There is nothing wrong, but apparently my family didn't like the way they looked and went to dentists so they would not be as big and sharp. I actually like mine, so I told my grandpa I did not want to get rid of them" Aoi said with a smile
"You sure love your grandpa. You are always talking about him and your grandma" Uraraka commented
"Yeah... I grew up with them, and for me they are my parents" Aoi said with a smile while she placed her hand on the scar on her cheek "They are the reason why I am becoming a hero"
"Hello~" Said Mandalay entering the room "I brought Aikou to take a bath, I would appreciate if you guys help her since she is still a little light-headed"
Aikou entered and waved at them with a weak smile since she seemed sick. Aoi stood up and rushed towards her to help her undress and then help her wash her body.
"Ah so glad you could come and join us Aikou" Niji said excitedly
"Sorry, I don't know what happened but I am feeling really sick. Mandalay told me that I will feel better tomorrow for the training" Aikou replied while she also washed her body
They were going to make a comment but heard that Mineta was trying to jump over and was intercepted by Kota. All of the girls cheered for Kota and gave a short laugh. Aoi got a little nervous since she wasn't expecting Aikou to recover so quickly, but she was glad that at least she got to enjoy the thermal waters that she was so excited about. Now all they wondered was, what will the training be?
