Summer Camp 4

Just as the sun was lowering itself beneath the horizon, class 1-A were face to face with one of the greatest sight's known to a hungry person. A bona fide feast, the elongated tables within the facility were covered top to bottom with all different types of food, so even for the picky eaters there was lots of choice.

After the initial shock was over, it became a scramble for the nearest seats. Using whatever energy they had left, everyone sprinted to the cuisine covered table top. Landing a seat next to the masked man Shoji, I munched down on food while waiting to see if he'd take his mask off to eat his dinner.

What I didn't expect, but probably should've was Shoji turning one of his tentacle arms into a mouth, and then feeding himself through that appendage. While it made for quite a strange and remotely comical view, I wasn't one to stop someone from eating how they want... at least that's what I thought.

Sitting directly across from us were Kaminari and Kirishima, who were both shovelling rice down their throat like there's no tomorrow, causing a fair bit off mess and rapidly depleting the rice supply at this end of the table since that was all they were eating.

Suddenly the smell of beef hit our side of the table, instantly causing the two gluttons to freeze up and robotically place their bowls back on to the table with gobsmacked expressions on their face.

Sharply gasping in realisation Kaminari intensely states "I smell beef" as his head span in the direction of the bowl of freshly cooked meat that Pixie-Bob was bringing in.

Following his example Kirishima does the same thing before shouting "Hey wait you got meat over there?!" he said with surprise.

Resisting the urge to facepalm at the two's stupidity, I listen in as Pixie-Bob exasperatedly responded "Yea, geez it's like you guys haven't eaten in a week or something" while shaking her head from side to side.

"Anyway, today's the only time we'll be doing this for you, so make sure you guys enjoy it" she informs us with a light smile, before placing the meat on the table and leaving for the kitchen.

While Kirishima and Kaminari made a break from the beef, I asked Shoji "Do you ever take that mask off?" as I began refilling my plate with another serving of food.

Turing to look at me he replies "I take it off in my house sometimes, but other than that I've always got in on" all the while he shoves heaps of food into his secondary mouth.

"Why?" I curiously ask, wanting to know the reason why he always keeps his face covered.

Seemingly no minding the query, Shoji explains "Well, it's becuase in the past, I ended up scaring a kid on the streets because of my face. After that I decided to start wearing a mask to prevent it from happening again."

So that's why, still, I don't think his face could be that bad. It was probably just becuase that kid had never seen a similar type of quirk before, or just had some sort of underlying fear towards those types of appearances.

If he took off his mask now, I don't think it would bother anyone, especially since we're at UA where there's no shortage of weird and wonderful quirks. I mean just look at our class, we've got Tokoyami who's some sort of human-bird hybrid with a talking shadow, and Koda who has a rock for a head, and that's just our class, while walking around I see a guy who looked like a human beetle. So all in all I think he's fine to take it off.

"Now you've got me curious about what's underneath it." I said to Shoji who was using one of his limbs to refill his cup.

"If you want to see my face I can show you, just not here. I don't want everyone freaking out over it" he answered while looking at everyone else, with them so hyper focused on their meals, no one even noticed the conversation we had.

With the Pussycats in charge of the dinner, everything went smoothly and everyone got their fill by the time the food ran out. Even that little kid Kota who sucker punched Midoriya helped out, all be it grudgingly. Seems like he's got something against everyone sitting here, if that scowl he's always wearing is anything to go by.

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

Once everyone recovered from their food comas, we were permitted to use the hot springs to wash off before heading back to our rooms.

The baths were top quality, easily comparable to the ones in Asakusa, they has the real rocks, the little tree and some shrubbery to decorate the place, and the water was nice a hot.

Slipping myself into the water, I released a sigh of comfort as I quickly submerged myself up to the neck. All the boys were spread out across the onsen, relaxing and talking away.

Not far from me was Shoji who was still wearing in mask even when in the water.

Thinking this was as good a time as ever, I said to Shoji "Why don't you whip that thing off just now. I don't think any of the boys would mind."

In return he quickly glanced around the pool at each of the boys and asked "Are you guys alright with me taking my mask off?"

At his words Kaminari sharply replied "Dude! You're taking your mask off. Hell yea let's see"

As well as Sero saying "Sure man it's your mask"

"I also am curious to find out what's under the mask" Tokoyami seriously added.

With everyone encouraging him, Shoji slowly began to slip the mask covering the lower half of his face. Once he completely removed the item, he placed it on the side of the pool and awaited everyone's reactions.

With the mask off everyone was privy to Shojis uncovered face. What we saw was a wide, lipless mouth that stretched from one side of his face to the other, just above this was his slightly pointed nose that seemed to connect with the upper part of his mouth where his lip should've been.

Although his appearance wasn't the most pleasing to the eye, it wasn't that bad either, especially compared to other mutant quirks. After everyone had a good look and the initial exclamation of surprise, they started asking Shoji why he even covered it in the first place, since no one here was bothered about it.

Following this was Shoji recounting the story he told me at dinner.

{Toru POV}

After stuffing ourselves with that delicious food make by the Pussycats, the girls moved into the hot springs.

Stepping into the water Mina declared "This feels amazing, as her naked body slumped into the war water.

Responding to her friend Jiro says from her position in the pool "I know right. I'm so glad they got hot springs here" as she released a warm sigh of comfort.

"You got that right, ribbit" Tsu said as she swam around the shallow pond.

While we relaxed and gossiped about random things, we hear a bunch of shouts comings from the boys side of the onsen.

"I completely forgot that the boys were bathing at the same time as us" Momo said as she looked at the large wooden wall separating the two sides.

"Same here, at least there's no perverts in the class so I doubt that there will be any trouble" Jiro calmly pointed out.

Being the closest one to the wall I took a good moment to look at it before the heat began rushing to my face. Just the thought of being seen naked filled me with a sense of embarrassment, but thinking about Benimaru sneaking a peek made me feel more giddy that anything else.

None of the girls really noticed my embarrassment since I'm, you know, invisible. This caused me to slump lower into the water as I realised that even If Benimaru peeked at me, he still wouldn't be able to see me.

The swirls of way emotion caused the light around me to distort slightly, making me able to see at angles I never thought was possible.

As I noticed this I swiftly calmed myself down, realising that I could maybe control the phenomenon, I spent the remainder of our time in the onsen in relative silence, which the girls seemed to notice.

Trying to use my newfound powers, I managed to get a birds eye view, even though my direct line of sight was looking the water. Although the bird's eye view was very unstable and cut out a lot, it gave me a new sense of familiarity with my quirk. Showing my ways it can be used, which I previously never thought was possible.

My excitement quickly stopped however, when I notice something in my field of view. The boys side of the onsen, this quickly sobered me up from my high, but before I got rid of the bird's eye view, I caught sight of Benimaru, at the edge of the water, topless, and with nothing but a small towel covering him.

Unable to resist I tried zooming in, the closer I got the more unstable the image was, but it was enough to get my heart pounding and my breathing slightly haggard. By the time I was getting a close up, large hand patted my should.

Shrieking at the unexpected contact, I jumped away from the hand an my blushing face turning and even deeper shade of red.

Watching me in surprise Tsu asks "You okay Toru, you were super quiet for age, we thought something was wrong"

"N-nothing wrong, just thinking about thing" I replied with a bout of nervous laughter.

With a plain expression on her face Tsu tells me, "Alright then, well we're all getting out now, you coming?"

"S-sure" I promptly responded, speedily leaving the pool I tried my best to get these images out my head but to no avail.

{Benimaru POV}

Why does it feel like someone's watching me, Pixie-Bob maybe?
