17 Training for the sports festival.

I was allowed to go back to school after my injuries had fully healed. Thanks to my moisture and sand replacement treatment I healed rapidly. So I went to class with Mina after taking off the bandage on my chin. No scars or markings of any kind which I was really thankful for as in this society your appearance means a lot more as a hero.

When I entered class everyone came to talk to me. Kyouka was asking about what I did over the break so I showed her minas dance video which made her start to show off her moves. Kyouka then started asking me about music so I showed her a good guitarist called Ed sheeran who had a few good guitar songs. Then we talked about billy Joel for abit because of his piano skills when aizawa entered. He did not look like a mummy but he had a massive cast on his arm that made him look like he was going gear 3.

He talked about the sports festival in two weeks and after the USJ I had decided to step up my training as I knew all for one would be watching to pick his quirks like it was a car catalogue. After classes I made my way to aizawa and showed him more photos of my cats. He had a smirk on his face and then showed me photos of his two. Kurohime and Felicia hardy. Inanna throwing them cameos my way. I then said I want to take a break to train for abit because lots of heroes and villains are going to be watching the festival so I want to make an impression.

He wasn't thrilled about me skipping class but my grades were excellent and I had Mina for notes but I immediately rethought that and told him kyouka would share her notes with me so he agreed. Afterwards I made my way to Mei again for more improvements to the costume. I opened the door to see a canister shaking to I covered it in a ball of sand before it exploded. Power loader thanked me again and Mei asked why I was here.

I asked her about refilling the neutral solution and she said she talked to recovery girl about that and improved the solution to be more fast acting and stronger with a lighter scent, after having to treat aizawa who reeked of it she was more than willing to comply. I also asked her about the angry gourd and whether it could be used as a recording device to I could play back the footage and then customise the sand as I had an idea about that. Her eyes glistened as this would test her baby programming skills so she immediately agreed.

After that I went home and talked to my parents about a training trip which I got agreed by the school. They agreed as long as it was in moderation so I went to Surīpudoragon to talk about a training trip. Only muir and pops were there as well as his wife who was serving tea. Naomi is an amazing woman with her dazzling personality and strong visage. She almost matches pops in height and has an appearance of a mature nojiko. Her quirk is a speed enhancement quirk that allows her to speed up certain things. She can do the six powers abilities relating to speed and trained to use finger gun and iron body. I asked her to teach me them as with my speed I could use them. Moonwalk is unusable however I can learn air combat so she will be the one teaching me.

She was excited to take me as a pupil while muir and pops looked at me with a shocked expression as no one had ever asked her to train them before. So the next day we boarded a train out to the middle of no where then took a bus trip till the last stop on a hill where we left for a 15 mile hike before it got dark so we made camp. The next morning we travelled for another thirty miles before we arrived at our destination.

I was greeted with overgrown yet majestic trees, a cold ripping lake that seemed to be the personification of winter and a small log cabin in the distance. Naomi told me this place was called yamigadani and was the place were her martial arts were learned. Her master trained her here for one month and it was hell, fortunately I already completed some of the training like the movement techniques and the spear hand training.

She made me strip till my boxers and made me wear a harness with springs that construct my movement and then attached weight to them. I could move but it was constrained. She told me to run 30 laps of the lake while she cooked some dinner so I complied. The first lap was difficult as I hadn't got used to the weight and the resistance. By the 14th lap I had figured out the correct way to move but by the 25th lap my body was burning with exhaustion but none the less I completed the set although it took me 3 hours.

Naomi gave me some food but just barely enough to keep me from starving. She said I need to adapt to the harshness of the land here so for the next two weeks I'll have to feed myself. So survival training which I thought was good because I hadn't been trained in that area for a while. The only problem was the lack of resources.

After two days of running her program of training which included swimming across the lake with added weight and the spring suit. 50 laps around it. Spear finger training, sparring with her using a staff. Tantou training and leg strengthening by kicking trees. I was exhausted. There was no food nearby as the lake didn't have any fish but the water was drinkable. Their was no fruit or nuts near for miles and no animals came near here. So I had to live off of insects I found on the trees. Some of which were poisonous but the water of the lake could help treat it according to Naomi.

I trained like this for a week and half with two days remaining before the festival. So Naomi told me to begin sparring with the techniques I've learned only. So shave, finger gun, iron body, kami-e and some karate. This place also did wonders for my haki as my armament was improved to be thicker. Most likely due to the fact my body became stronger due to the training and my immune system improving thanks to surviving the poison. On the final day I could perform the techniques to a level that Naomi found satisfying. She removed the spring suit and I felt like a bird that was uncaged for the first time.

My body responded faster and my movement were more fluid. My strength increased and my natural defences thickened. Now I feel I could take on nomus attacks without my powers much better. Naomi was definitely the right call even though her training was Spartan. She giggled when I thanked her and made me massage her for the umpteenth time throughout this trip. She's hooked just like muir. With my training complete in the areas I needed we made our way back and stopped to get some real food. Me and Naomi also downed litres of orange juice as it was a shared interest between us.

I like OJ as it was a personal favourite in my last life. I sampled oranges from lots of countries back then so I knew what was top quality and with quirks improving that OJ became even better. It's been apart of my diet as long as I can remember. After this Naomi said I was the best student to ever enter the dojo and gave me a hug. I felt I was ready to dominate the sports festival.
