The neglected but loved hero

Chapter 30: Training camp start

(A/N: Finally. Got a chapter out. Now I won't be posting for the next two months so hopefully I can post a chapter of so,ethnographic else before then. I hope you enjoy!)

It was early in the morning, and everyone was fast asleep. Or, at least, they were until a loud horn blared through their sleeping quarters, abruptly waking everyone up.

"Everyone, get up! It's time to train!" Aizawa shouted, making everyone begin groaning. They all got out of their gender split shared rooms and lined up in front of Aizawa. "Follow me."

Aizawa led everyone to a small cliff and held a familiar baseball. "Bakugou Katsuki, do you remember how far your throw was at the beginning of the year?"

Katsuki nodded. "708.4 meters."

Aizawa tossed the ball to him. "Throw it like you did then. No holding back."

Katsuki caught the ball with a smirk. He walked up to the edge of the cliff and pulled back his arm, ready to throw. With a wild smile, he laughed his hand forward, throwing the ball with a huge explosion.

Aizawa looked at his phone, seeing the score. He turned it to show the class. "712.2 meters." Bakugou's eyes shot open in rage. "This is why we are here. While you all have been improving your bodies, your quirks haven't gotten as much attention. So all of you will be pushing your quirks to the brink over and over, making them all they stronger."

A few hour has passed and everyone is working hard. Momo and Sato were both eating sweets, Momo creating small dolls as fast as she could and Sato trying to increase how long he can stay in his sugar rush.

Screams were heard in a cave as Tokoyami was trying to improve his control over Dark Shadow. Kaminari was sending electricity through a car battery to increase his capacity before shorting out.

Kaina was shooting at moving targets made of mud as she ran through an obstacle course to improve her mobility and accuracy along with her reload time.

Izuku was running through the forest on all fours, dodging as a sparking green blur tried to attack him, kicking up a cloud of dust. "Ha! Almost got me there, Izumi!"

As the dust cleared, Izumi stood there, panting as green sparks shot around her. "Yeah... almost." She wiped the sweat off her head and got into position to run after him again.

Izuku took off, Izumi following after. Both were having a lot of fun as Izumi was trying to get acclimated to using higher levels of One for All.

Izuku felt so free as he ran through the trees. The wind blowing his already messy hair everywhere. His heart beat with excitement as his instincts cheered. He moved his head to the side just as Izumi came whizzing by, barely missing her mark. Izuku could feel the sparks coming off her graze him as she passed.

She skidded to a stop as Izuku dug his claws into the dirt to stop himself. Both stared at each other, panting, before they simultaneously collapsed to the ground exhausted. Izuku began laughing. Izumi looked at him for a couple seconds before she began to laugh with him.

Sighing, Izuku pushed himself into a sitting position, rubbing the tears off his eyes. "This has been fun."

Izumi stared at the clouds floating above them, smiling. "Yeah. I wish we could have done this when we were younger. Hey Izuku, I need to talk to you about something important."

Izuku didn't like the tone in her voice. "What's up?"

"If anything happens to me, I want you to have One for All."

"Izumi I told you already."

"I know." Izumi cut Izuku off before he could continue. "But I'm afraid. I told you about All for One, right?"

"Old guy who gave All Might his injury. Yeah I know."

"Well, he likely already knows that I have One for All. So that means he'll come for me next. If he finds out I can't fully control One for All..."

Izuku looked at Izumi, hearing the fear in her voice. "I understand. I can't imagine what it's like to have some old maniac coming for your quirk then take over the world. But you're my sister. I'll be there for you."

"I know. But... I'm scared what he might do to you. I think he's the reason you have a quirk."

Izuku sighed, rubbing his eyes. "This again?"

"No, I'm serious. I talked to a bunch of quirk doctors and asked them if it was possible for someone who's twelve to get a quirk. And all of them told me no. It's not possible. The lastest anyone has ever gotten a quirk is six so for someone to double that is impossible. I really hope they're all wrong. But if they're right, them All for One is involved. He gave you some quirk and put something in you that made you lose control."

Izuku sat there, thinking about what she said. "Well, if that is true, what now? Does that change anything between us?"

Izumi shook her head. "No. Quirk or not, you're still Izuku. You're my brother and I'm worried."

"I know." Izuku looked up, seeing the sun starting to set. "It's getting late. We should probably head back for dinner." Izumi sighed, getting up. She followed him back towards the main building. As they were walking, Izuku looked back at her. "So what does One for All feel like?"

Izumi thought about it for a second. "It's like... a tingling feeling all over my body. It's hard to describe exactly." Izuku nodded. "What's it like when you use your red eyes?"

"It's like when you slowly flex your muscles more and more. At least until roughly two minutes of using it. Then everything starts slowing down, like if you're watching a movie at half speed."

"That... sounds like it would be hard to get used to."

Izuku nodded. "Yeah. I haven't used it much so it's still a bit weird."

As the two were walking back, the question Izumi asked sat in the back of Izuku's mind.
