Chapter 88: Camping Trip Arc (3)
~Ren Y. POV~
[Day 1, The Beast Forest, Wild Pussycat Office, Nagano, Japan]
After some time to rest with my [Meditation] skill, I managed to recover my stamina and energy. Everyone managed to get a break to recover their energy as it was now dinner time, with everyone too exhausted to eat at the time.
But currently, in the Wild, Wild Pussycats Office lodging, we finally had the chance to eat dinner, clasping my hands in a respectful tone, "We give thanks to all the ingredients in the world. Itakimasu."
I took this time to properly enjoy my meal in peace. While the ongoing chatter of the people are presently discussing amongst each other.
"Oh? You girls got a normal-sized room?"
"I wanna see the boys' room!"
"Hey, can we get a look after dinner?"
"Sure! C'mon over."
"Fish, meat, veggies… what a feast!!"
"Delicious! This rice is amazing!!"
"The flavor's seeping into every part of me!! Each grain's just as good as Lunch Rush's!!"
"Wish I could munch on this stuff forever!"
"Claypot…?!"
"Was it made in a clay pot?!"
I chuckled seeing my classmates enjoying their time. And just knowing in the future these brats are gonna be heroes… just sucks.
Everyone here has a whole bright future ahead of them, and… sigh. I shook my head, disregarding that idea.
While I know the plot of the story, it still doesn't help it's gonna be a painful journey when All for One finally brings his era of chaos and anarchy.
By then Japan would be in a state of disarray and madness because of that man. And everyone here doesn't know anything being this blissfully unaware of the situation.
I wonder if this is how All Might keep his burden, not informing anyone of his secrets that could change the world. But at the cost of losing those close to him like for example his old friend David Shield.
It's for that reason that I allowed Melissa to know the full truth behind One for All. A safety measure so that she doesn't pull a David, making the same mistakes in the past. Hopefully, the bathe would be worth it for today.

[Day 1, Wild Pussycat Office, Hot Springs, Nagano, Japan]
Ahh… this is nice.
Inside the Wild, Wild Pussycat Office they have their hot spring. I'm gonna take a page out of their books adding one to my Hero Office one day as I muttered appeased, "Ah… this is the good stuff. I'm making a note adding a Hot Spring into my Hero Office one day."
Every one of the boys nodded, agreeing. Shinso muttered out loud in a relaxed tone, "Ah… no kidding. Food was good to help relax us for this. I can feel my aches melting away…"
Kaminari agreed as he moaned happily, relaxed tone, swimming in the hot springs, "Ahh… I've never felt this good."
Kirishima soon pointed out relaxing in the hot springs in a chill tone, having his muscles relaxed in hot water, "Can you believe there're hot springs here? This is the best."
With everyone relaxing at peace and with no Mineta around, we are vibing. But it's kind of hard not to ignore the girl's comments from the other side of the wall, with Mina saying, "This feels amazing!"
Followed by Jiro's voice in a relaxed tone, enjoying herself, "I'm so glad they've got a hot spring here!"
That was when they got a bit frisky to themselves with Toru gasping at Kinoko judging by the conversation, "Oh wow! Kinoko your boobs got bigger!! I think they're about the same or smaller size as Momo's!"
*Splash*
The guys blushed a bit, hearing the girl squealing and touching in private areas, being playful with each other. I can already picture them doing such a thing, but I can also see their bodies if I wanted to with my [Wormhole] and [Overhaul] skills.
Not that hard to create a peeping hole that gives me a transparent side. But sadly, [Overhaul] Quirk doesn't work like that sticking to basic creations like spikes, walls, pitfalls, etc.
My train of thought was soon interrupted when Ida asked about the new Quirk I added in a curious tone, "If it's not too much trouble asking, what new Quirk did you get? It seemed to be powerful to rearrange the environment, building us a path, no?"
Hearing that, I decided to explain to them my new Quirk I've obtained in a casual tone, getting some attention, "I suppose so. The Quirk I copied is called [Overhaul] allows me to the ability to disassemble and then reassemble matter with my bare hands in any configuration I desire… to a degree."
Listening intently the boys were now curious as to what I had to say as I continued speaking in a chill tone, "This new Quirk effectively gives me some control over matter itself. And from what I know this Quirk when used on a person, the user can heal any injuries or ailments they once had by reconstructing them to a biologically perfect state. Although the disassemble part sounds painful."
Their eyes widened at the news, with Ida asking in a hopeful tone, knowing of this Quirk, "W – Wait… does that mean can you use that Quirk to help my brother walk again…"
Listening to his request, I nodded my head but said in a stern tone, gaining his attention and being realistic, "If I can, I would. But that would mean I need a Hero License first before I can do any healing on your brother's leg. But when I do, I'll be sure to help you out, Ida."
He smiled at me thankfully at the gesture and possible cure for his crippled brother. Ida bowed his head in a thankful tone, "T – Thank you, Ren… I'm glad to have made a great friend like you."
I chuckled nervously at Ida's appreciation, with Shinso mocking me lightly with a cheeky grin and saying in a mischievous tone, "Come on, man, at least own up to your praises. You can't be this shy around praises when you can stare the villains dead in the eye? You can't be that allergic too – "
*Tumble*
However, before he could finish, I saw Kota tumble down I reacted as he fell from a height with a bloody nose, grabbing him before muttering with a raised eyebrow, "How the hell did this kid fall? Did he peek over the other side?"
Confused by this I soon excused myself from the guys to get Kota's caretakers. I'm curious as to why he fell other than staring at the girls.

[Day 1, Wild Pussycat Office, Building Manager Office, Nagano, Japan]
After getting out from my hot spring bathing time, I brought Kota to Mandalay the news, wanting an explanation. She soon explained to me in a neutral tone, "Must've passed out from the fear of falling… thanks. We put him up there on guard because Eraser told us one of you boys might peek at the other side. Girls today sure do develop quickly, huh?"
Nodding my head in understanding, I responded in a neutral tone, "Yup. But I'm glad nobody got hurt."
She laughed lightly at my response, with me only wearing my towel covering my privates in a thankful tone, "You sure did act fast, though."
I took her compliment with a smile but soon addressed the obvious issue with Kota, "So… not to be nosy, what's the kid issue disliking Heroes? Did his parents die or something?"
She flinched at my blunt words as she explained taking care of Kota in a sad tone, "Right. Naturally, there are quite a few people in our society who don't think much of heroes… he'd probably look up to heroes too if he'd been raised normally?"
I raised an eyebrow at that comment. That was when Pixie-Bob spoke up, entering the room and continuing the conversation, "Mandalay's cousins were Kota's parents. They were heroes who died in the line of duty. 2 years ago, they were protecting civilians from a villain. There's no better way for heroes to meet their end… an honorable death."
Honorable death? Maybe to some, but when you have someone waiting for you, it becomes idiotic. If you have someone waiting at home, then you better return home to them, not to some strangers.
But I returned to listening to Mandalay's words as she took care of Kota in a caring and worried tone, "But a boy who'd only just started learning about the world couldn't understand that… because his parents were his entire world. To him, it was like they'd left him all alone. But society just kept praising them… saying that what they did was great and noble… I don't think he likes us very much either, but with no other relatives to rely on, he cooperates… To Kota, heroes are… nasty people he can't understand."
Crossing my arms, I bluntly said, agreeing with the kid surprising the Heroines, "If I were him, I would see his point. But if you want to get close to the kid, stop mentioning hero or noble crap. He'll never see it or like you for it. If you want him to open up, meet him where he is and try some of his hobbies. Don't cram heroing down his throat because the only thing he knows is the pain that comes from it."
Mandalay looked down a bit sad at my words, with Pixie-Bob asking, getting a bit defensive on my words with narrowed eyes, "Oh yeah, wise guy? How do you know that then?"
I laughed as I confessed, returning to the bathroom, leaving them a bit stunned by my words, "Because I'm the very same way I feel about heroes. Maybe not as negative but not hateful of heroes but not enough to like them as a whole either. See yah later."
Leaving them a bit stunned I can hear Pixie-Bob whisper out loud looking at my ass, "Well the kid has guts that's for sure. But man look at that ass. He's definitely a keeper with those muscles."
Mandalay chastised her as I replied, gazing at Pixie-Bob in a friendly tone with a sly grin, "I wouldn't rush for romance for a 31-year-old lady. After all, some guys might prefer an older lady. Not with your sexy figure see ya, Ryuko Tsuchikawa."
I managed to see the lady blush at my eyes, licking her lips with me, returning to my bath in the hot springs, "Oh…~ He's a keeper I'll pounce. And he finds my figure sexy that sounds like enough for me. Fufufu…~"
I really gotta stop rizzing older women. Mirko, Ryuko, Lady Nagant, and now Pixie-Bob. I'm starting to believe I'm somehow in the hentai version of MHA at this rate.

~Third POV~
[Day 2 5:30 AM, The Beast Forest, Nagano, Japan]
After the events yesterday everyone from Class 1-A soon got up early for their second day of Training Camp dazed with Aizawa speaking up with a grin in a positive tone, "Morning, kids. Today the real training camp begins. Ideally, you will all emerge stronger. Strong enough to acquire your provisional licenses."
Listening to his words jolted the students up as he continued in a casual tone tossing a ball at Bakugo, "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 throwing this."
Bakugo grabbed the ball, recognizing it immediately as he responded in a confused tone, "This is… from the strength trials…"
Aizawa nodded his head, confirming his words as he continued speaking, asking for Bakugo for his demonstration, "Last time, right after school started, your record was… 705.2 meters. How much have you grown since then?"
His classmates soon showed their encouragement as Bakugo launched the ball into the air Aizawa revealed the new score as explained to them in a happy tone, "709.6 meters. Yes, you have been through a lot these past 3 months. Undoubtedly, you've all grown. But it's 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. Oh, and Ren."
All eyes were on Ren as he summoned up all his four clones, each smiling innocently. Yet it did the opposite effect, with Kendo shivering as she asked the obvious, "Why does something tell me this won't be a fun experience…"
Aizawa explained what his clones would be doing as the Wild, Wild Pussycats arrived on the scene with a sadistic grin in a happy tone, "As of just yesterday, I've been informed what your Class Rep is capable of, and it would be a waste to not utilize his abilities effectively for your growth. If any of you have broken bones, muscle torn, fatigued, or are out of stamina, have one of his clones accompany you to top recovery and continue training but harder. If you wish for spars against him then do it to improve."
The class of 1-A was confused, but for those that sought to challenge him like Tokoyami, Bakugo, Shoto, and Ida, eyes flickered a challenge with Ren speaking in a confident tone, "I think it's time we truly start this training session properly. Don't hesitate to ask when I break your bones, push your limits, and heal you from the brinks of exhaustion/death. Only to restart the process because I'll push you beyond your limits. It's not a promise…"
His eyes gleaned, causing his classmates to shiver, except for those seeing the results in a serious tone, "… it's a guarantee."
