[Season 6] Ep. 4 - Triumph at the Finish Line

As my classmates and our rivals from 1-B converged at the heart of the Training Camp, a resounding bell echoed through the forest, signaling the end of our grueling exercise. Swiftly, the camp's robotic attendants tended to the injured from both classes, their efficiency a testament to their advanced technology. Meanwhile, Nocturn and Electrific ushered us to the courtyard's center, where anticipation crackled in the air, palpable as the tension between our two classes. We gathered eagerly, our attention split between the impending announcement of the winning class and the formal introduction of our guest instructors.

- "Dear students of 1-A and 1-B, it's my honor to present the esteemed heroes who will guide you through this Quirks Training Camp—the illustrious team from the Pop Rock Agency," Nocturn declared with his customary gravitas.

- "Hey there, young heroes!" Echo chimed in, her vibrant energy infectious as she greeted us with a playful wink, while Melody offered a friendly wave.

- "Greetings, youths!" boomed the towering figure known as Head Bang, his long, lustrous black hair crackling with explosive energy, his eyes a vibrant blend of orange and red, glowing with intensity. Adorned in a costume of midnight black, accented with fiery streaks of crimson and molten orange, Head Bang's attire was as fierce as his powers. Beside him, Rock Devil, with his fiery red hair matching the intensity of his crimson eyes, flashed a devilish salute, his imposing rocky horns gleaming with an otherworldly light. Rock Devil's rugged attire, adorned with metal studs and patches, hinted at his rockstar persona, while Head Bang's presence promised chaos with every explosive burst.

Shiro and Okiatsu couldn't contain their excitement at reuniting with their former internship mentors from the Hero Agency, reminiscing about the successful collaboration they'd shared.

- "As we embark on this summer adventure, you'll push yourselves harder than ever, delving into the depths of your quirks amidst the untamed wilderness. But enough preamble," Electrific announced, cutting through the anticipation. "You're all itching to know the results of the race, aren't you? Well, after careful consideration with Nocturn and our colleagues at Pop Rock, we've reached a decision. Despite the neck-and-neck finish, the victors are... the students of Class 1-B!"

The ecstatic cheers from our rivals filled the air, while my classmates and I exchanged disappointed glances, feeling the sting of defeat despite our best efforts.

- "Seriously?! We arrived at the same time! That's completely unfair!" Kenshin protested, voicing our collective frustration.

- "Kenshin, this decision is entirely justified. While only a fraction of your class reached the finish line, every member of 1-B crossed it together. They collaborated, strategized, and executed as a unified team. That's what tipped the scales in their favor," Nocturn explained, his disappointment evident despite his attempt to conceal it.

- "Okay... I guess..." Kenshin conceded, begrudgingly accepting the outcome.

- "Now, stash your gear in the camp dorms. It's similar to your boarding school setup, just with chalets instead of floors. Once you're settled, Class 1-A, you're on kitchen duty for lunch. That wraps it up for today. Enjoy this brief respite because tomorrow, our friends at Pop Rock have an intensive training regimen in store," Electrific added.
