The bus had stopped in a clearing with nothing but mountains extending before them. Yuu and Sora warily peeked from the bus door, checking the vicinity. Aizawa's words were still haunting them. Mineta scooted around the area, desperate for a toilet.
" It's safe, right?" Sora asked, her eyes scanning the whole clearing.
" Guess it is." Yuu's eyes fell upon a car parked not far from them. The windows and air shield were dark, making it all too hard to see what was inside. " That..."
" Maybe it belongs to other visitors who happened to rest here as well." Whisper shrugged.
" There is no point stopping without a reason," Aizawa told them, ignoring Mineta's inquiry about the bathroom.
" Yo, Eraser!" The doors of the said car were pushed open abruptly.
" Long time no see." Aizawa bowed his head at the two persons who had stepped from it. They were two women in a rather odd outfit, some kind of uniform with boots reaching half the calf, a skirt and a short sleeveless shirt. They were wearing some kind of headpiece, bells around the upper arms and neck with puffed cat gloves and a tail.
" More weirdos appeared..." Murmured Whisper as the two women introduced themselves as the Wild Wild Pussycats. They had a boy tagging along with them.
Midoriya embarked on blurting all his memorized information about them. When he said it was their twelfth year of working, he got attacked by the blonde one wearing a blue outfit. From what they could see, she was threatening him.
" Shouldn't we save him...?" Asked Sora with an awkward smile.
" Listen, those who entice a lady's furry could never be saved, " stated Whisper.
" Greet them, everyone," Aizawa demanded.
" Nice to meet you!" The whole class chorused.
The woman with bobby brown hair told them that the whole mountain belonged to them, and then she pointed in a certain direction, saying it was where they would be lodging.
" So far!"
" Huh? Then why did we stop here?" Wondered Uraraka.
Suddenly it downed on Sora and Yuu. They looked at each other with eyes as wide as saucers. " It can't be..."
It seems the rest started to catch up on them. Sero suggested they get back to the bus. They all seemed to agree with him.
The brunette woman had a malicious smirk on her face while her tail wiggled mirthfully. " It's now 9:30 am. If you hurry up, maybe around noon..."
The whole class rushed back to the bus. Sora and Yuu were rather concerned about the calm air about Aizawa despite them dashing back to the bus.
" Sorry, ladies and gentlemen. Training camp..." The blonde woman blocked their way with a mischievous grin. "Has already begun."
With a touch of her, the ground beneath them levitated up like a wave of mud, pelting them off the cliff. Sora managed to spread her wings in time, located her friend and hastily hauled him over her shoulder before slowly landing down.
" I tell you, UA is trying to kill us." Yuu looked around. One way or another, everyone managed to survive that steep fall.
" Oi! Since it's private land, you can use your Quirks as you wish! You have three hours! Come to the facility on your own two feet! After getting through... The Beast's Forest!"
It was obvious they had no other choice but to advance on foot. Mineta sped past them and towards the forest, only to come across a beast. Koda tried pacifying it, but it didn't work, the creature was about to attack Mineta when Midoriya heaved him out of the way.
" Koda's Quirk didn't work?" Whisper was at a loss for words.
" It's not a living thing." Yuu narrowed his eyes as Todoroki, Iida, Bakugo and Midoriya finished it off to prove his point. " It's made of mud."
" They did it!" Sora smiled only to hear fluttering above their heads. Another flying beast showed up.
" There's more!"
" So it seems!" Three fluctuating blue fires materialized from thin air.
Their only chance was to fight, and so they will. " All right. Let's go, Class A!"
Sora and Yuu flew upwards to take care of the flying monsters. " We'll leave the ground to you!" Yuu shouted through the wind, mounting on Thunderbird's back. " While we're up we will look for the shortest route!"
" We're counting on you Shirogane-san, Seijin-san!" Yaoyorozu cried, embarking on creating some sort of weapon.
" Yuu!" The boy's attention went back ahead as he was called. Approaching them were two beasts akin to pterosaurs.
" Listen kid! Don't expect us to help you!" Thunderbird roared at Sora as he vanished into lightning. The rumbling of thunder could be heard as he zigzagged through the sky before falling down upon one of the monsters. It seemed like a yellow fork of lightning impaled the monster when the bird landed his hit. Even as it fell down, there was a hole in its charred form.
" I didn't ask for help!" Sora's pupils narrowed, her nails lengthened and feathers sprouted out of her arms. She clashed with the other one, slashing at it nonstop and breaking it apart. " I'm not weak you know!"
" She is not half bad." Admitted the spirit.
" That's our Sora!" Cried Whisper proudly.
Yuu's eyes twitched as he glimpsed a movement. More flying mud beasts were soaring in their direction. " It's not over yet!"
" Right!" Thunderbird's feathers stood on end as he was covered in electricity before he zoomed with a rumbling sound.
" I'm not losing!" Sora flapped her wings forcefully, pushing herself away in a gust of wind.

It was dusk by the time the starched building came into view. The whole class staggered through the last thin layer of leaves, all beaten and whacked with fatigue.
Yuu was fighting to keep his eyes from closing. Sora held her shoulder tightly, her arms covered in feathers and some had appeared on the sides of her face and neck. The rest of the class were out of breath and under the brunt of their Quirks' side effects.
They all flumped on the ground, their feet unable to take their weights anymore.
" What do you mean three hours?!"
" That's the time it would've taken us. Sorry!"
" Are you serious..." Sora didn't even have the strength to laugh as she allowed the gravity to pull her, laying on the ground. She didn't bother at all about Pixiebob's compliments for them or her calling dibs on Bakugo, Iida, Todoroki and Midoriya.
" I'm surprised you managed to find your path in that thick forest. We had to offer class B a hand or they would have been lost," Mandalay stated, impressed.
" Seijin-san's help. He was the one leading us from above," replied Yaoyorozu.
" Hm, seems you have good eyes, boy."
" Thank you..." Yuu muttered, his head kept lolling off though.
It wasn't until Midoriya asked about the kid standing there that Sora's upper half shot up again just to witness Kota punch him on his privates. That made her wince.
" Seems we have a young delinquent." Whisper sighed. The fact that Bakugo seemed to take a liking for him worried the rest of the class.

Sora took a seat by Midoriya after dropping her bags in the girls' shared room and started digging in. She even rivaled Kirishima and Kaminari's speed.
" Shirogane... San..." Midoriya and the rest looked at her as if she had grown an extra head.
" What! I'm starving!" How she spoke without stopping eating was beyond them.
" Huh..." Uraraka blinked as she did a doubletake. " Sora-chan, there are feathers on your face and even in your hair?"
" Don't worry, it's from my Quirk!" She said swallowing her food.
" Oh, I remember seeing it during the sports festival. Is it alright though?"
" Don't worry, it will fall off in a while." She refilled her plate and started digging again.
" She is really starving." Midoriya sweated before he looked at the other side of Iida. " Seijin-kun however..."
The purple head was eating his dinner half asleep, he had crumbs all over his face. " Are you a kid now?" Whisper snorted.
" I think this is the longest I've seen him keeping a spirit in a physical form," said Sora through a mouthful of rice. " It's a miracle he didn't drop dead yet."
" That's because I've been training him hard to build his stamina." Whisper smirked proudly.
" You mean torturing..." Yuu mumbled.
