◆Training of the Dead II◇

(Part Two)

Let's go, you guys!" Miyuki said, and she and her teammates bolted passed the gates of Ground Omega into the wooded area, their opponents not too far behind them.

"Let's do our best, Deku-Kun, Yuki-Chan!" Ochaco said.

"Yeah!" The two best friends replied simultaneously.

"I won't lose, Tsuyu-Chan!" Habuko said.

"I'll do my best, too!" Tsuyu replied, hopping beside her friend.

"When I win this exercise," Romero said, appearing beside the half-and-half girl, causing Miyuki to flinch at his sudden arrival, "say you'll say yes to me!"

"Say yes to what?" She asked, brows furrowed in confusion and alarm. "What exactly are you asking me?"

"To mar! -"

"Go challenge a worm or something, you Isamishit baby!" Katsuki interrupted, coming to run between the two of them.

"I wasn't talking to you!" Romero shouted. "If you stay out of this, I might let you smell my victory once I win this exercise and she accepts my proposal!"

"Go ahead if you think you can!" Katsuki yelled back, a wicked grin on his face. "I'll blast you out before you get the chance!"

Miyuki sighed, rolling her eyes as she sped up to run ahead of the two arguing boys. Whatever weird rivalry was brewing between them, she definitely didn't want to get caught in the crossfire of it.

"Look, over there," Miyuki said, pointing towards a tree surrounded by thick bushes in the near distance as they moved farther away from the other teams. "Let's stop there for now and come up with a plan."

"Alright," Izuku agreed. He and the four girls in his team went and sat beneath the tree.

"What's our plan?" Ochaco asked, looking to her teammates.

"Can't we just fight the other teams?" Mina suggested.

"No, we'd be at a disadvantage," Izuku replied with a sigh. "We dont have Shouji-Kun, Jiro-San, Tokoyami-Kun, or anyone that can spot the other teams. We could use Yuki-Chan's Eagle vision to find them, but they're most likely not out in the open, so it would be hard to spot them that way, too. If we start moving, there's a good chance we'd be spotted by another team. Even if we get lucky and find another team, we would be revealing our position to the other teams by starting a fight. And if we get multiple teams fighting us, we'd definitely be done for."

"So, what do we do?" Ochaco asked, and Miyuki tapped her chin thoughtfully.

"Everyone, aren't we forgetting that this is a survival exercise?" Tsuyu reminded them.

"All Might-sensei did say we could run if we had to," Miyuki said.

"That's right! All we need to do is survive, like All Might said," Mina agreed. "I think we should sit tight."

"Yeah, that sounds like a good plan," Izuku conceded and Miyuki smiled at him.

"Agreed!" Mina cheered, throwing up her arms.
