After everyone had packed away all their belongings, we gathered up at large outdoor tables covered in food of all kinds and everyone was quick to start devouring every last piece to make up for the hours of Quirk usage and exercises.
We even got a large hot spring to relax in for afterwards.
Apart from that, the rest of the night was uneventful, and I’d expect everyone fell asleep immediately like I did.
Unfortunately we were woken up at half five for training, and most people were still half asleep.
“Morning kids.” Aizawa announced.
“Today, the real training camp begins. Ideally, you will all emerge stronger. Strong enough to acquire your provisional licenses. More specifically, there’s a growing hostile force out there. Through this you’ll be prepared to face it… so stay sharp and work hard.”
“To start… Here Bakugo. Try throw this.” He said, passing over a ball from the strength trials.
“Last time, right after school started, your score was… 705.2 meters. How much have you grown from then?”
“Oh! Testing to see if we’ve improved?”
“We’ve been through a lot these past three months! I bet he can make it a whole kilometre!!”
“Throw that sucker, Bakugo!”
“Here we freaking go…”
“Go to hell!!!”
“709.6 meters” Aizawa announced.
“Huh…? Not much father than before…”
“Yes. You have been through a lot these past three months. Undoubtedly, you’ve all grown. But its only your techniques and minds that have matured.”
“Well, and your bodies, a bit. But as you’ve just seen, your Quirks haven’t kept up with the pace. Starting today, you’ll improve on your Quirks.”
“This’ll be so harsh that you’ll wish you were dead, so do your best to…”
“Stay alive…”
All that happened next could only be described as Hell.
Each of us was given a task designed to push our Quirks to the limits and more.
For me it meant dragging heavy weights from one end of a huge stretch to the other only ever using my Quirk
Somewhere, half way through the day, Class 1-B arrived to join in in the training.
We had different timetables and placements so we didn’t meet up all that often, not even for dinner. The other two members of the Pussycats also showed up to take care of the increase in students. One happened to be a muscular mountain of a man, also wearing the cat themed clothes, skirt and cat paw gloves and all.
I’d say it’s weird, but I guess my costume is not much better.
For today, we had to make our own food, starting a fire and cooking some curry was all it really was, but not everyone was all that competent when it came to life skills.
I worked away moving from place to place to help out where I could, stopping any potential mistakes I saw. I could have probably done a chunk myself, I was used to make food for many in the orphanage, but everyone would probably benefit from the experience.
Kirishima called out to me as I passed by.
“Hey, Miwaku! Thanks for the help!”
“Just doing what I’m good at.”
“Right, Thanks again!” He shouted as he ran back to his group.
With that, day 2 of the camp was over, and everyone seemed to be in high spirits for the rest, even with the intense training. Not much could go wrong in the only three days left In the middle of nowhere.
I think my Quirks already gotten a significant amount better overall, so I’m exited to see how strong it is when were done!

----------------------------------------
After another day of the same exercises, following the same intense timetable.
Kirishima wanted Midoriya for something, and as he was only getting back from his extra classes, I volunteered to find him.
I ended up heading all the way out to a nearby small mountain that was used for training as he wasn’t in the immediate area and that was one of the places the path headed, the only one that wasn’t deep into the forest.
“So he’s somewhere on this entire mountain… right.”
I could see how the view would be amazing was it not night time. I could just about see where they were holding the test of courage they had planned for fun the day before, and they were really going all out, having a large cloud of fog covering the area made it look quite uninviting, and, is that… fire?!
“Everyone!!”
That was Mandaly talking straight into my head. Her Quirk was one way, and quite freaky when your not expecting it.
“We’re under attack from two Villains!! And there might be more out there!”
“All those who can should get to camp at once!! If you encounter an enemy, don’t engage! Just retreat!!”
Villains?!
How did they find us this time?!
CRACK
The sound of some fight came suddenly from one of the cliff edges nearby.
I ran around towards the origin of the noise, listening in as the Villain started to speak up.
“I’m gonna torment you real bad. Now show me some blood.”
Midoriya was getting pummelled by the Villain, both of his arms badly damage from one of his own punches I guessed. I could see Kota standing behind him.
“Ah! Wait.”
“Better not.” he said punching Midoriya into the cliff wall.
But that’s not what really caught me attention.
“That’s right. Might as well tell me. If you know.”
“Where’s the kid named Bakugo? We’ve got a job to do here…”
That voice.
“You don’t know? That’s your final answer?”
That Quirk!
“Fine. In that case…”
ITS THE SAME AS BACK THEN!!!!
“Let’s play!”
I grab onto the same feeling from when I first got my Quirk. From when I dropped the roof to save Hagino. A deep power spinning up inside of me bolstered by uncontrolled loathing and rage.
I didn’t Jump...
Or Leap, Burst, nor Dash forwards.
I simply Moved.
A CRACK of sound and I was behind him, faster than he could register, fist to the back of his skull even as his overflowing muscles pressed back.
Pain shot through my arm as it broke under the immense pressure and I ended up landing next to Midoriya.
“Not the kid again... Not on my watch!!”
“Miwaku?! How- Why?!.”
My core, the origin of my Quirk, was causing more pain than my broken arm.
I could feel it turning turbulently, drawing on anything and everything, an immense gravitational force threatening to crush everything, including me, under it.
“Not now.”
“Two against one, huh?” the Villain contemplates. “Okay then... No holding back now.”
Midoriya turned to the kid, “Get back, Kota. But not too far, or he’ll go after you… so… yeah… about seven paces… if he gets us, you run as fast as you can back to camp.”
“Gets you…? Come one, don’t do it!”
“It’s hopeless, so lets run. You saw… you attack didn’t even scratch him!! And… both your arms… are broken…”
“It’s okay!”
Power floods through his arm as has he prepares his attack, and I mine.
“He’s not getting one step past me!!”
“so… Run!!”
“RUN!!”
“Wow, kid!”
DETROIT SMASH!!
“Yowwwch!”
“What’s wrong?” the Villain taunts.
“That was even weaker than before!!”
“Midoriya!!” I shout as I full speed drop-kick the Villain in the shoulder, agony flaring up my legs and core.
“okay…”
“I’m okay!!”
“You’re something else!!!” the Villain shouts.
“Sh… SHUT UUUUP!!”
He slams Midoriya down with his left arm and me with his right, cracking the earth from the force.
“Show me… SOME BLOOD!!” he screams to the two of us. “I’LL CRUSH YOU!!”
He was rapidly growing his muscles, layer after layer as the pressure on us increased and he crushed us further into the ground
SPLASH
he was caught off guard for a moment, “Water?!”
“St… Stop it!!”
Kota!!
“Wait your turn ‘kay?! I’ll kill you when I’m good and ready…”
In that moment, both Midoriya and I were united in one goal.
OBLITERATE THIS VILLAINOUS BASTARD!!!!!
“AS IF…” Midoriya started immense power rolling out from his body, an intense glow of green lightning bouncing around him.
“WE’D LET YOU...” I continued my core roaring out in pure force as it locked onto everything nearby, pulling at the very earth we lay on for me to pus back against the growing mass of muscle.
“HOW’RE YOU GETTING STRONGER?!”
“KILL HIMMMMM!!!!”
DELAWARE DETROIT
NEWTONS CRADLE
TRANSFER!!!!!
SMAAASH!!!!!
Thousands of pounds of force crashed through my body, exploding out through the Villain like it’s namesake as Midoriya’s overclocked Quirk brought the bulk of the damage, crushing through the muscle and straight to his chest.
The Villain rocketed into the cliff face, caving it inwards in a collision that shook the entire mountain.
Midoriya was breathing heavily through his half destroyed body, and I was stuck collapsed on the ground as we caught our bearings.
“Miwaku!” Midoriya exclaimed as he moved over in front of me.
“Get him to the others...” I coughed out.
“Wha-?”
“Get to the others!!” I shouted, “You’re faster!”
He simply stared a moment, before picking up Koda on his back and using his still intact legs, which I don’t doubt he planned, to dash away into the woods to warn them.
I dropped the tough guy act and cried.
A chunk of my bones were broken, something important was punctured, and I was bleeding heavily from multiple spots.
I wasn’t tough like Midoriya, or strong willed enough to just shrug such injuries off.
I don’t know how long I lay there, falling in and out of consciousness, one point feeling like I had lost something just out of my reach before my eyes closed for a final time that night.
