Stuck Between Realities-Remastered

Part 41~Class B

1B struggled as they pulled themselves out of bed and walked into the forest. Vlad crossed his arms, not waiting for his students to complain before leading through the trees. "Class A is already up. Let's go quickly."

The students grumbled before following behind their teacher faithfully.

"Last semester, Class A got all the attention, so next semester, it'll be Class B's turn. Got it? It won't be Class A. It'll be us, Class B!"

Tetsutetsu, Kojiro, and Shihai grinned, crying proud tears as they listened to Vlad's speech, much to the judgement of Manga and Kendo, who were sharing a look. "Sir! Sorry that we are such disappointing students," Tetsutetsu screamed, gritting his teeth and holding his hand in a tight fist.

"Even if you say that we're going to develop our Quirks out of the blue," Setsuna added, "all twenty of us have different Quirks, so how are we supposed to know what we've developed and how? Can you be more specific?"

"When muscle fibres are overused, they break and become stronger and thicker. Quirks are the same. If you keep using them, they become stronger, and if you don't, then they waste away. In other words, there's just one thing to do. Break through your limits." Vlad stopped as he led the students into the clearing.

Before them, 1A worked hard, training their Quirks to the limit.

Katsuki was plunging his hands into boiling water, expanding his sweat glands and creating large explosions above him. To the side, Shoto was in a similar metal barrel, panting hard as he switched rapidly from fire to fire, trying to control the temperature he was producing.

Sero was screaming atop a cliff, producing a constant stream of takes intended to improve his tape strength and shooting speed while Kirishima and Ojiro were in the middle of a fight. Kirishima had his quirk activated, staying stable against the onslaught of hits.

Kaminari was far away from the camp, alone on a mountain, and attached to a large battery capacity as he tried to get used to the large amounts of electricity. Meanwhile, Koda was doing vocal exercises alongside Hitoshi, an experience that mostly involved shouting at the trees while people pretended to ignore them.

Aoyama was trying to get used to his navel laser, shooting in short bursts to the sky while he held back his whimpers very poorly. Tokoyami, on the other hand, was hidden from all view, locked away in a cave, trying to keep Dark Shadow under control. Mostly, they only heard his screams.

Uraraka was using her zero gravity to lift herself and the plastic ball she had been stuffed in off the ground, trying not to throw up as she was pushed downhill and rolled across the rough terrain. Iida wasn't having a much better time doing laps around the campus with little purpose other than going fast.

Tsu climbed across the cliff side, using her tongue to pull herself up while Sato and Momo got to stay at the snack table, eating the various sweets while constantly using their quirks for Sato that involved a grip weight while Momo produced little Russian dolls.

Jiro, unfortunately, got the stab approach, hitting the solid rock wall with her earphone jacks. She wasn't alone, though, as Mina stood a little to her side, melting through the solid rock wall with a constant stream of acid. Neither looked like they were having a fun time.

Hagakure and Shoji were probably the only people who got the calm task of hide and seek. Hagakure's task was to remain undetected while Shoji tried to locate her with his Dupli-Arms.

"What is with this hell?" Hiryu took a step back, paling and looking to Kendo for help.

"Those of you who are operative types will have to raise your maximum limits. Heteromorphic types and other composite types need to train the parts of their body to melt to their Quirks. Normally, this would occur as your bodies grow, but we don't have that time," Vlad explained as Hiryu fell back dramatically; one could almost see the ghost leaving his mouth.

Behind them, a large roar echoed out, making the class jump back as a black sand sphinx looked at him.

"Where did that come from?!" Setsuna moved hesitantly into a fighting position when Kendo held out her hand, shaking her head. A few moments later, the sphinx turned back into a human, a very tired human.

"Izuku, don't get distracted," Aizawa ordered as Izuku gave him an annoyed glare.

"Give your son vocal exercises, don't you. You make us do the actual hard work."

"I can hear you."

Izuku jolted slightly, smiling sheepishly before he shifted, this time appearing as a normal Sphinx. He closed his eyes as the black scales grew over the body. Izuku gritted his teeth as he held the form and turned his attention to his back, carefully summoning the gryphon wings, but once again, he failed before they could appear. "I hate this."

Kendo decided to ignore Izuku, turning back to Vlad. "But once we join, there will be forty in all. Can just six people manage the Quirks of that many people?"

"That's why they're here," Aizawa answered, pointing behind him as the Wild Wild Pussycats jumped to action, shouting their catchphrase as they posed.

"That's right! The four of us are one! Lock on with these sparkling gazes! We've come to lend a paw and help! Coming out of nowhere, stunningly cute and catlike, Wild Wild Pussycats! The full version!"

None of the students looked impressed.

"My Quirk is search. I can know all the info about up to a hundred people just by looking at them. I can find out their location and weaknesses, too," Ragdoll explained with an unblinking stare.

"With my Earthflow, I can make the perfect places for each person to train," Pixiebob stated as Mandalay nodded.

"And with my telepath, I can give advice to multiple people at once."

"And my job is assault through punching and kicking," Tiger finished. "All you power-up types, come to me! Tiger's Bootcamp has begun!"

Vlas turned back to his class before they could wander away. "U.A.'s busy, so it's hard to spare staff for just the first years of the hero course. Based on their track record and wide range of Quirks, these four are the most logical choice to train your Quirks in a short amount of time. Don't fall behind Class A. Let's go, Class B!"

The students grinned as they lifted their heads. "Yes, sir!"
