"UA High has officially finished it's first semester and started summer vacation. However... Those of you trying to be heroes will not receive days of rest." Aizawa voiced. "At this summer training camp, we'll have you aiming for even greater heights--for Plus Ultra!" "Yes, sir!" The class said in unison. The class then disbursed and talked amongst themselves, Uraraka running over to Midoriya. "Deku, it's finally time for the training camp in the woods, huh?" "Y.. yeah, that's right, Uraraka!" Kurmara looked between the two and chuckled to herself. The chemistry between them is cute.. She thought with a smile as she watched her friend jump away from the green haired boy and she tried to hold in her laughter. "I.. It's time for training camp! Training camp! Training camp!" The gravity girl voiced as she hopped around while clapping, Denki and Mina joining in which made her laugh. She then heard an annoyingly familiar voice nearby. "-that mean you had people who failed the finals? What? Isn't that weird? Isn't that weird? Even though they're supposed to be way better than Class B? How can that be?!"
Kurmara sighed as she rolled her eyes while he laughed before he got hit by Kendo to silence him. "Sorry!" She apologized as she dragged him away. "Oh, it's Class B." Midoriya voiced when he saw the other students. Kurmara walked towards where Uraraka was before stopping by Kirishima, hearing Mineta make a comment on the female students from Class B. "It'll be like a buffet we can pick and choose from!" "That's about enough out if you." Kirishima voiced towards the short boy. "As always, disgusting." Kurmara said as she rolled her eyes and walked towards the bus. "Class A's bus is this way! Please line up in order!" Iida voiced to the class as Kurmara stepped on the bus, trying to find a seat before sitting near the back, Uraraka sitting next to her. Once everyone was on the bus and on their way to the camp, everyone talked and laughed amongst themselves. "Let's play some music!" Denki called out from the front. "Kurmara, I have a question for you," Uraraka began as she turned towards the short haired teen who looked back at her. "What's up?" "What do you think about Kirishima?"
"What d'you mean?" She asked as she looked down at her sketchbook. "I mean, what do you think about him? You two seem kind of close." Her friend commented which made her smile. "Of course we're close. It's just like how it is with Iida, Midoriya and you. The four of us are close, aren't we?" "We are." "That's exactly how it is for me and Kiri," she then looked to the front of the bus where Kirishima sat with Kaminari. "Yeah, that's just how it is." After about an hour of being on the bus, they pulled over so everyone could stretch their legs. Kurmara stepped off the bus and stretched a little before looking around. "It feels good to stretch after being on there for an hour." Kurmara commented as she stepped off the bus and over to the rest of her classmates. "It does, doesn't it?" Sero agreed as he rested his arm on Kurmara's head. "Hey, get off." She voiced towards him but he just laughed. "Hold on.. what kind of rest stop is this?" One of her classmates questioned. "Right? And where's Class B?" "Of course we stopped here for a reason." Aizawa voiced as he walked past them. "Hm?"
The students all looked at him with questioning gazes. "Hey Eraser. Long time no see." A voice greeted from a car that was parked near them. "Rock on with these sparkling gazes!" A voice sounded out and Kurmara looked towards where it came from. "Stingingly cute and catlike!" "We're the wild, wild Pussycats!!" Oh cool, Kurmara thought as she saw two heroes and a little boy near them. "These are the pro heroes who will be working working with us during the camp, the Pussycats." Aizawa told them all. "They're the four-member hero team who all work under a joint agency! The veteran team specializes in mountain rescue operations! They've been in business for twelve years now..." Midoriya voiced which made Kurmara giggle at him. "Greet them, everyone." Aizawa told the class. "Nice to meet you!" Class A said in unison. "This whole area is our territory. Your lodging is at the foot of the mountain over there." One of them said as she pointed over the trees. "So far!" The class exclaimed. "Huh? Then why'd we stop here?" Uraraka queried and there was a feeling in Kurmara's gut. "Could this mean..?" "No way.."
"Why don't we get back to the bus, huh? Fast." Sero suggested as he began to walk towards the bus. "Yeah. Let's do that." Denki agreed. "It's nine thirty right now. If you're fast... maybe around noon?" The brown haired hero, Mandalay, voiced which confirmed Kurmara's feeling. "No way.. guys..." "Let's get back!" "Back to the bus, quick!" All of Class A began to run back towards the bus, the pro hero calling to them. "Kitties who don't make it by twelve thirty won't get any lunch!" "Sorry, ladies and gentlemen. Training camp... has already begun." Aizawa told them all and the blonde hero, Pixie-Bob, jumped in front of them, putting both of her hands on the ground in front of her, the ground breaking and rumbling underneath their feet. Soon, all of 1A were over the cliff and at the bottom. "Hey! This is our private territory, so feel free to use your Quirks as you wish! You've got three hours to reach the facility on foot! Make it through.. the Beast's Forest!" Kurmara let out a groan as she stood up and dusted herself off a little. "Seriously? It's like a name straight out of Dragon Quest!" Denki commented. "UA does stuff like this way too much." Jiro voiced.
"It's no use complaining. We just have to go." Kirishima said as he dusted himself off. "This is something.." Kurmara voiced as she watched Mineta rush past her ahead. Suddenly, a monster-like beast was I'm front of the short boy. "It's.. a beast!" Denki and Sero voiced and everyone got into defensive poses. "Calm yourself, beast! Please, back down." Koda voiced to the creature, but it didn't respond. Kurmara saw Midoriya rush out and grab Mineta just before the beast struck down. Soon, a few of her classmates rushed towards the beast, Kurmara watching as they attacked it, the beast breaking down. "You guys defeated that beast in an instant?" "You guys did it!" Sero voiced as he walked over to Todoroki. "You're amazing, Bakugou!" Kirishima complimented the explosive boy. "Not yet!" He voiced which made Kurmara raise a brow. "What do you mean?" She queried as she followed his gaze to see another dirt beast jump above the trees out of their view. "Hey, come on. How many of them are there?" Denki asked as everyone looked around. "What should we do? Run away?" Mina queried. "This is no joke. If we don't make it to the facility by noon, we don't get lunch."
"Then we have no choice but to get through here and take the shortest route." Yaoyorozu told them and Kurmara nodded. She's right. We have to still get through this. "Alright. Let's go, Class A!" "Yeah!"
Shoji used his Quirk to listen for any more of the dirt beasts. "There are three up ahead! Two each on either side!" He called out, Jiro listening as well. "Seven total. They're coming!" Sero went ahead, above them towards the flying beast, using his Quirk to wrap it's wings and bring it down. "Sato! Kirishima!" The two boys went at the creatures knocking them down. "Whirlwind!" Kurmara used her wind with strong force, the dirt beast getting pushed backwards before getting smashed by Kirishima. "Great work!" He called to her and she nodded before moving to the next one. All around, Kurmara and her classmates took down the dirt beasts one by one all while helping each other and pushing forward.

Kurmara and Class A finally trudged out of the forest, greeted by their teacher and the Pro Heros. "What do you mean, three hours?!" "That's the time it would've taken us. Sorry!" "You were trying to boast about how much better you are? That's mean..." Sato voiced. "I'm hungry.. I'm gonna die..." Kirishima groaned. "But honestly, I thought it would take even longer." Pixie-Bob voiced. "You guys didn't have as hard a time beating my earth beasts as I thought you would. You guys are great.. especially... you four!" She said as she pointed to Midoriya, Iida, Todoroki and Bakugou. "Were you able to act without hesitation because your experience? I'm looking forward to where you'll be in three years! I call dibs!" She voiced as she pounced towards them. The rest of the class watched the scene in front of them, Kurmara managing to let out a breathy giggle. "Whose child is that?" She heard Midoriya asked as he pointed to the small child. "Oh, not one of ours. He's my cousin's kid." Mandalay told them. Kurmara watched as her friend walked over to the kid and greeted him. Then, the kid punched Midoriya low which made Kurmara flinch. "Ah damn, low blow." She voiced, watching as the child walked away without another word and Iida rushed over to the injured Izuku. "You brute of a nephew!" Iida called out to the boy. "Why would you do that to Midoriya's scrotum?!" "I don't intend to hang out with guys who want to become heroes!" The kid voiced. Guess he doesn't like us all that much.. Kurmara thought with a small sigh. "Enough with this charade. Get your stuff off the bus." Aizawa told them all. "Once you've put your bags in your rooms, we'll have dinner in the cafeteria. After that, you'll bathe and got to sleep. We'll start for real tomorrow. Now, move quickly." Kurmara and her classmates grabbed their bags from the bus and into the building, putting their bags in their rooms before meeting in the cafeteria.
