Learning: Training Camp

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

As it turned out their time in the Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall came to an abrupt end when they learned that a villain had been sighted and was terrorizing one of the shoppers, which Selene found to be Tomura as she spotted the boy leaving the mall, but he escaped thanks to Kurogiri's power. She and Celestia also discovered that his target had been Izuku, in fact he had grabbed their brother by the neck while not pressing all five fingers onto his neck, since his Quirk needed all five of his fingers to be pressed against a surface for it to activate. As such both of them had to call their meetings with their friends off so they could make sure their brother was okay, eventually ending in him spending the afternoon in the police station so he could give them a statement of what happened. That meant they had to calm their mother down, she was rightly worried about Izuku and so were they, but by the time night was upon them everyone was allowed to go home so they could rest up and prepare for what the coming days held in store for them.

When they finally got home Inko made sure they had something to eat, which helped her calm down from the crying she did after hearing that her son had been in danger, before heading to her room after suggesting that they get some sleep since she knew Izuku must have had a tiring day.

"So what did Gameboy want?" Selene asked, referring to Tomura by a nickname she had come up with, she didn't want to use any of the ones she came up with before she and her siblings entered UA, and right now that seemed to be the best one she had at the moment, "It must have been important if he came out in the open, instead of remaining glued to his screen in whatever area his base is located in."

"Just to know why Stain is so popular, despite the League's attacks on UA... told him it had to do with his ideals and how the Hero-Killer was influenced by All Might." Izuku replied, which was the truth, in fact he had been surprised when his response caused Tomura to just laugh before stating, with a mad look in his eyes, that everything traced back to All Might and that his goal remained the exact same, but he was still surprised by how Tomura seemed to find him so quickly, despite the sudden nature of their visit to the mall.

"Well, you kept calm and made sure he didn't hurt anyone. You did your best with the hand you were dealt." Celestia said, to which she and Selene knew that Izuku was likely wishing that he had another Quirk that could have done something to stop Tomura before he escaped, since there was no telling what the mad villain would do now that his 'head was cleared', before she sighed, "Come on, let's get some sleep... I have a feeling we'll be surprised by what tomorrow brings."

Sure enough Celestia was right, as Aizawa informed them that, due to Izuku being tracked down despite none of them even posting anything about where they were going for their shopping trip, they were cancelling the trip to the lodge they used in the past and would be heading someplace else, which they would be told about when it happened. This was to make sure no one knew where they were going and no information could be spread for the League to use against them, since Aizawa and the other teachers suspected they might be attacked again since Class 1-A had a habit of running into the League. Katsuki was of the opinion that Izuku should have either broken one of his arms or died to make sure they could still go to the lodge, showing his lack of regard for Izuku's life, in fact it sounded like his opinion of Izuku had gotten worse since seeing Celestia's full power. She and Selene knew why that was happening, he hated talented people being above him when he had decided that he was the one who stood above everyone else, and seeing the full power of Sunshine had ruined his mood entirely, to the point that he seemed to fully want Izuku's death for some reason.

It was a massive pain for the sisters, as Katsuki was just getting worse and worse as time went by, something that caused the pair to wonder if it might be time to just cut him free or sit him down for a lesson in how to properly accepted what he was seeing these days. In addition to that they had to deal with the moron from Class 1-B who laughed at them for having some students who failed the exam, or at least the physical one, which meant their homeroom teacher had likely informed them of what happened during their tests. Such a thing told Selene why the other class, in fact most of the school, seemed to look at Celestia with a brand new perspective, they knew some things about her true power, the full power of Sunshine, mostly due to the fact that her sister now carried a sword that appeared out of nowhere. She didn't know how much the rest of the staff and the students knew about their exam, but it was clear that everyone knew something had happened, and there was no telling if or when that information got to Tomura, and if he knew about Sunshine's true power there was no telling how he would react.

In the end Selene sighed as she and her siblings continued their lessons, learning what the heroes had to throw at them so they could be greater heroes when they finally graduated, while at the same time they found themselves waiting for all of the challenges that would be thrown their way when their summer camp finally started.


A week ended up going by before the start of the training camp was upon them, and sure enough the sisters found that they were to come to UA early in the morning so they could reach their new destination in a timely manner, while Class 1-B was to board a second bus and head to another area. This was to make sure that the students, who might be the targets of the next attack that Tomura might launch against the hero society, were safe and sound and that they could continue to grow as heroes without outside interference, or at least that seemed to be the plan. Celestia had made sure to spend a great deal of time with Toya, when she wasn't in school or focused with schoolwork, and by now she had healed his entire right arm, so in the future she could focus on his other arm and the rest of his burned body. Selene had also hung out with Himiko, enough to know that the girl really preferred to be called 'Toga', but other than that there wasn't too much for them to do in the few days they had, though Selene had been fine with a few days of peace and quite.

Eventually they joined the rest of their class on the bus when the day came and, once everyone was ready to go, Aizawa had the driver get underway and the bus departed from UA without wasting time, causing many of the other students to simply be loud and have fun. The sisters simply pulled out their books and read, mostly fantasy books to be honest, though at the same time Celestia also pulled out her school books, going over the information that might be useful in the future when they got back to school. At the same time Selene noticed that Solarion was resting against the edge of her sister's seat, within her reach if she needed it while also positioned in a way to ensure that it didn't move at all, but that didn't stop her from taking the time to worry about the weapon since it shouldn't be here in the first place. It was Celestia's personal weapon, that much she knew, and there was a very real chance that it arriving might have awakened her sister's old memories, though for right now it seemed like she might be jumping at shadows that didn't exist since Celestia was the same old sister she had gotten used to since arriving in this world.

As she thought about Solarion, however, Selene found herself thinking about Nightfell, the battleaxe that was Luna's own personal weapon, and absently wondered if she could call on it, like how Celestia had, against all odds, called her blade to her side, enough that it seemed to travel through space to reach her. It was a wild and unlikely thought, but the reason she had it was due to the fact that she had been a part of Luna for a long time, even before she had the power to become the dark being known as 'Nightmare Moon', so it made her wonder about the possibilities. She did know that if that was possible she could also deprive Luna of her weapon, since Selene was sure her other half had been sent somewhere as well, based on what she recalled before she and Celestia appeared in this world, so it really made her wonder. Selene knew that if she had learned this information back when she was first taken in by her new parents she would have stolen the weapon in an instant, but now she wasn't too sure and simply kept the thought in the back of her head.

Eventually the bus came to a stop in an area that was on the outskirts of a large forest, their portion of the road above the mountainous area in question, where Aizawa had them get off the bus and allowed them to look out over the forest, where the sisters spotted a single vehicle off to their left.

"Now, all of this would be pointless without some sort of goal... I'll leave it to them to explain." Aizawa commented, acting as if there was nothing going on right now, though at the same time the doors of the car opened and two figures stepped out of it, causing the students to turn for a moment.

Selene, Celestia, and Izuku recognized them immediately, as they were two young adult ladies, in their early thirties, that dressed in battle gear that had been made to resemble cats, as in large cat paws over their hands that had retractable claws, low high heels that allowed them to move quickly, head pieces that looked like metallic cat ears, and a belt that had a cat tail attached.

"Lock on target with our sparkly eyes!" the lady in the red uniform said, which happened to be Mandalay, the leader of the team that was likely going to be helping them learn how to use their Quirks more than before, and whatever else Aizawa had in mind for them, all while striking a pose.

"While our cute, cute stingers sting!" the second lady, who wore a blue version of the uniform, added, who had to be Pixie-Bob, the hyperactive member of the group, and she also struck a pose while she and her teammate stood there, though the students also noticed a short kid standing behind the pair, a boy that looked annoyed.

"We are the Wild, Wild Pussycats!" the two pro heroes stated, almost like they were action heroes or something, like those seen in television shows before the age of heroes started, while the siblings noticed that the kid had a horned hat on, with a light blue shirt with dark shorts.

"The Pussycats will be looking after all of you during our training camp, all four of them to be exact." Aizawa said, though as Izuku started to talk about the heroes and what they were capable of, especially since they specialized in mountain rescues, Pixie-Bob stopped him from mentioning their ages and told them that each member was eighteen at heart, "Vlad will be joining us later with Class 1-B, they're just taking another path to avoid being tracked by the villains."

"You know, we actually own this entire region. Our base, and your lodge, is located at the base of that mountain." Mandalay remarked, where she pointed out at the area in question, something that was followed by the sisters making a note of the area she was pointing at, as she let one of the claws in her left cat paw come out to help point out her target, and the area that they were currently standing in, "Right now it's, oh, about 9:30... if you make it early you might reach the lodge at or just before noon. All of you kitties who don't make it by 12:30 won't be getting any lunch... but to get there you'll have to cross this 'Forest of Devil Beasts', and the best part is that you have permission to use your Quirks in our domain."

"Now we're talking." Selene remarked, though before Mandalay and Pixie-Bob could react she transformed into her feral tiger form and leapt over the edge of the cliff, where she started to run down the rock wall as she focused on the forest and the potential dangers that were inside it.

"This should be interesting." Celestia said, where she spread her wings and floated down into the forest, though Aizawa did spot the strange sword floating near the girl as she did so, reminding him that it was part of Sunshine and that there was no way for them to actually contain it, not unless she willed it to stay in one spot.

In the next moment, before the other students could react, Aizawa let Pixie-Bob manipulate the earth and sent a wave of it washing over the rest of Class 1-A, sending them down into the forest as well, and before anyone could recover they found a large rocky beast blocking the way, one that couldn't be tamed and had to be smashed apart.

"Just so you know, Eraserhead, this is a messed up schedule for these kids." Mandalay remarked, though they were looking out over the forest as the first of the countless 'devil beasts' were smashed to pieces, where she knew Pixie-Bob was already making more and was altering all of her existing ones to test the students that had been brought to them.

"I know, especially since this sort of training is supposed to happen in their sophomore year, but with the surge of villains has caused me to reconsider how to teach these students." Aizawa said, as he knew there would be some challenges that a number of students could only make progress on right now and would then conquer them later on, there was bound to be some form of push back, before he considered something very important, "Anyway, we had best get down to the lodge. We'll be having guests in no time."

"There's no way any of them are getting to the lodge in the time limit." Pixie-Bob stated, because this place was designed to be a challenge and the members of the Wild, Wild Pussycats had improved their times to the point where they could do this in about two hours, as opposed to the six or eight when they started this place, so there was no way the students could do this before the noon.

"Normally, I would agree... but Celestia and Selene each have two Quirks, and all four of them are outrageous." Aizawa said, that was a true fact, he could see both girls tearing through the rock monsters that were in their way, shattering them like Pixie-Bob's creations were nothing, and that wasn't counting when Celestia slashed through one with her blade, as it was like a hot knife through butter, "Sunshine and Dragon, Tiger and Hydra... each powerful in their own right, but together each girl is beyond what the rest of their class is capable of, meaning the girls will be at the lodge in no time. And that's not counting Celestia's Sunshine, how it gets stronger as the day gets closer to noon, or the sword she summoned during the final exam, a blade only she can use... the sisters will be at the lodge long before anyone else, mark my words."

Mandalay and Pixie-Bob watched the girls as they separated themselves from the pack, knowing that stronger beasts were coming their way, where they were curious as to what Aizawa had seen that would make him afraid, there was something about Sunshine that had changed him a little, making them eager to see what this training camp would have to offer them and the students of UA.
