[ Kill Your Heroes ]

Rin sat down, going through one bowl of fried rice and not feeling nearly as full as she would like to, considering this trip. She'd be likely to burn all this off regardless, if activities would last from morning till dinner. So she chowed her way through six more.

"You can eat," Todoroki remarked, jaw slightly agape.

"I am hungry," she admitted.

After, Rin found joy in the fact that there was a onsen, and not just a regular bath they'd have to take turns in. She tied her hair up and headed out with the rest of the girls. Easing into the bath, she felt the gnawing feeling go away with the heat. Or it could be her food settling, she wasn't sure, but by now, she'd learned not to care for herself so much. A very important lesson that allowed her to open up to her classmates a little more.

Didn't they have curry? Someone was about to be extremely gassy, she feared what bubbles were going to come up in the onsen.

The relaxation broke when she remembered her burn scar and immediately cringed at her earlier joy, covering only a small portion with her other hand, lacking any sort of confidence in her naked body. It did snake all the way down to her torso from her arm, after all. Didn't matter her feelings, it was just plain ugly.

"It's so relaxing! I'm so glad we're on a mountain because we have this!" Uraraka happily said.

"Walls exist to be scaled! Plus Ultra!" the sudden familiar cry of Mineta rang out, getting closer. Guess he was fulfilling the literal climbing thing, to Rin's annoyance.

Kouta popped out of the wall, shoving Mineta back over before he could so much as get a glimpse.

"Thanks Kouta! You're the best!" Ashido called, giving a thumbs up to the kid.

He turned, saw the girls in all their nude glory, and fell. "Holy crap..." There went their knight in shining armour.

Rin sighed, hearing no crash on the other side so hopefully someone had caught him. She got up, taking note of the worried looks, heading over to the wall. She pushed up with wind, grabbing the top and pushing her just enough so none of her body would be shown, covering her eyes. "I see Kouta is down. If any of you wish to be indecent and peek over here, I will fuck you up with shots of electricity."

They were not bothered for the rest of their time. Polite talk had been boiled over by her once-seen-naked-already-and-then-beat-up day, she was not about to take anymore. Rin eventually let go of her arm, openly smiling at stories from everyone's exams.

The next morning, they had to be out by five thirty a.m. This entailed every student looking a little wonky, saying things as if they were still in a dream. ""They don't sleep in Naruto! I need to write it down"," Kirishima quoted Rin back to her.

"Today we begin a rigorous round of reinforcement training," Aizawa said. "This trip's goal is to strengthen everyone's quirks as a whole, therefore allowing you to all obtain your temporary licences. This is preparation to stand up to live action hostility and aggression from your enemy. Prepare your hearts and minds. Bakugo," suddenly, Aizawa tossed a ball at the boy," throw this."

"This is the one from the apprehension test," Bakugo remarked, before throwing it with a blast. "Drop dead!"

Aizawa showed him his results. "At the beginning of the year, you had seven hundred five metres, now you have seven hundred nine. In three months, you gained a lot of experience. Which is to say you've done more emotional and technical growth. Now the time to concentrate on physical enhancement has come. Your quirks have only improved by a marginal amount. SO, starting today, we're focusing on upgrading your quirks," Aizawa grinned. "I'm gonna push you to your limit, so don't kick the bucket on me.
