Outdoor Survivalist Training [1-B]

Finally, it came, it was time for the best class, Class 1B to have an entire quirk themed class. Not only that but it was survival training at the military base Semper Fi.

She had no idea what had awaited her, but she was pumped for anything. The idea of survival training with quirks, in wilderness was what mae Miku ECSTATIC!! This was her element. With her Quirk she knew she could survive, as long as there was soil and not friggin cement. Just hearin the words 'survival training' made Miku grab a bunch of plant seeds. Mostly what had fruit and vegetables. She had no idea how long this would last. But in case it drags on. She was ready. And if not she could turn any plant into a weapon if needed.

Miku wore her gym uniform, although she was not as messy as Lani, who actually sat infront of Miku in the bus. When the vehicle stopped and arrived at the destination, Lani was the first one to jump of. And then Masaki. Being competitive, she made sure to step out 3rd! he had to have that bronze!

Lani spoke how this was gonna be awesome. And Miku shared her sentiment "You bet! I'm pumped!"

It seemed rather rare for your typical high-school student to look forward to class, but at U.A., the circumstances were far different. It was extremely common for students to anticipate the thrilling lessons ahead, that would heighten their abilities in preparation for careers as those newfound paragons of justice and righteousness, 'Heroes'. So, it was only natural for Class 1-B to 'B' thrilled for their upcoming special class within the special military base. Though Tetsuko was skilled in swordsmanship even without the usage of her Quirk, it was nonetheless vital that she advance its usage. It was her duty to advance the Shindou name as the first Quirker of her line, and Tetsuko had every intention of doing just that.



Getting up early to take the bus into the special military camp, Tetsuko would find herself quiet and resting on the trip over. It wasn't her first foray into the camp, given the many, many attractions it had to offer, but this was the first time she'd been attending as a direct representative of U.A. From what she understood, as part of efforts to increase the exchange of information and integration with Quirkers, the camp's staff would be aiding the students in learning how to handle themselves in atypical environments. Almost all of the students’ training had been centered around urban environments so far, thus it would be interesting and beneficial to gain instruction and what to do in wilderness scenarios.



With this situation in mind, Tetsuko had boarded the bus clad in her short-sleeved tracksuit, exposing just enough skin to make effective use of her Quirk, while also keeping her shielded from the elements they’d be subject to. Tetsuko was uncertain to what extent her Quirk would be effective in a wilderness environment, but didn’t see how it might be any less effectual than in urban areas. Time would tell, she supposed, just what the limits to Tetsuko’s abilities were in different environments.



Disembarking, Tetsuko would stretch out her stiff neck as she stepped out with the rest of her class. Lani was dressed as exotically as ever, the #3 student’s energy hardly contained within her own body as she expressed her excitement for the lesson ahead. ”Woo~” Tetsuko replied sheepishly, noticing Miku had humored the girl too. Awaiting whatever instruction they might receive, Tetsuko would stand in line with the rest of her class, anticipating a fruitful and enjoyable lesson. What she had yet to anticipate, however, was that the class’ participants may well end up surprising the young swordswoman...

This was his first day and already Rawlin was sent to a survival training thing nearly a few hours after unpacking and meeting a few people. He didn't exactly have time to meet many others or do what he wanted for this training. Problem was everyone was required to wear their gym outfits and Rawlin never had one. The reason was simply because he forgot to pack the one his mother got for him. It figures the one thing he did forget was something so important even though the school sent it to him via the mail to his parents house. So as he paced onto the bus with his regular clothing that consisted of a black T-Shirt with a blue jean jacket over it. Blue jean pants and black and white shoes then of course his black finger-less gloves he always wore.

Rawlin did get more than a few stares because he wasn't wearing a gym uniform but he just smiled and waved it off and headed to his seat then sat down. The bus ride was long and rather boring as he soon fell asleep on the side of the window. Snoozing a bit made him fall into dream land until after what felt like an hour he felt a sudden stop as the bus seemed to be at its destination. Waking up and stretching his arms upward he eased out of his seat and paced outside of the bus to get some stretches in.

"Ahh. That was a nice nap!" Rawlin declared as he made sure to get the right amount of movement back into his body so he could wake up. Sure he forgot to bring his gym uniform but his own clothes could work just fine right? "So what are we going to do first?" he would ask really no one in general as he flashed a big toothy smile in excitement.

Finally, it was time, time for her first class within the hero course. She had done her utmost to ensure her transfer had been kept a secret from most of the students, after all, she truly wanted to surprise Tetsuko with the fact that from today onward she would be a part of the B-class within the hero course. Nonetheless, she had to admit that a tiny part of her was rather nervous about her transfer into this new class, at the very least in the way she had. As a student belonging to the General Studies course most would assume she had a Quirk ill-suited for combat, and they weren't entirely wrong at that either. Her quirk was a supportive one, and as such one wouldn't be surprised if she was to be underestimated. However, that wasn't exactly the reason for her nervousness, in fact, she couldn't care at all about whether they thought she was weak and ill-suited for the hero course, she simply had to prove them wrong. No, the reason behind her nervousness was the social situation she had found herself in. Considering the school year had already been several months in Elise couldn't disregard the fact that it was likely that the class as a whole had already bonded as a group, formed into cliques of its own, and that made her in layman terms: An outsider. Fortunately, she knew at least two people in the course, Miku Hanabira was someone she knew to be in the B-course, after all even if they had only talked properly in person once she had a fairly positive opinion of the girl, especially judging from the things she heard from her childhood friend.

Speaking of that childhood friend, her beloved Tetsuko, her lover and the sunshine in her life was a part of this class, and that might have been the reason she felt just as much excitement as she felt nervousness. To finally be able to be in the same class as Tetsuko... Luckily Touma saw the merit in her being in the same class as Tetsuko, and god be praised that he was willing to pull some strings to get her to transfer into the class she wanted due to his influence as the Principal.

Speaking of said principal, she would have to thank him later with another watermelon when it was another break for the school year. She still remembered as if it was yesterday, their conversation about firearms and combat drones while they were casually eating a watermelon, it was such a joyous period, one that briefly allowed her to forget the shadows that clouded her heart in the wake of the loss of her parents.

Nonetheless, as she gazed outside the window of the vehicle Elise pondered silently about the nature of the class she would be attending. It seemed the Rescue Ops teacher wanted to hold a survival training, something that likely raised the eyebrows of plenty of the students, in the end, a training of that nature was more meant for the army rather than a hero student, but if one took a moment to consider things more carefully it would quickly make sense. Not only would certain assignments cause them to leave the safety and comfort of the city in favor for forests, mountains or sometimes even snowy landscapes one could say that in those conditions reinforcements or rescue efforts would take time, and as such being able to survive and manage within the wilderness would be essential.

A hand raised to her chin tapping it lightly as she pondered about the choice of using a specialized terrain at the military demonstration for this exercise. It made sense, but at the same time she couldn't help but wonder if it was truly smart to mix the hero students with privates of the army. From what she saw and heard there was a sharp divide between those who favored the idea of getting to acknowledge people with Quirks and consider them a boon to their endeavors, and then there were those who considered them quite literally walking, living and breathing shitstains. What group would the privates of this exercise belong to? Would they be the type to accept the next generation of heroes, or would they succumb to prejudging and make this camp a living hell for both sides?

Beep beep boop, a sound came from her lap, where to her amusement she saw her trustworthy combat drone, the To-Dro having just finished recharging and its green light flashing lightly as it's AI was seemingly woken from its slumber. Of course, she had brought her drone along, considering it was a survival training it would be an excellent opportunity for her to use the drone to try to see if it could navigate properly in dense areas like forests which were full of obstacles like trees and branches and the like and Kobayashi would get direct feedback of her performance.

But that wasn't the only mysterious thing the girl carried with her, a black case rested beneath the drone, the only noticeable features of it being the golden K, the bronze & symbol and finally the silver VE, the initials forming KVE, it was unlikely anyone would know what was inside the case, and Elise hoped to keep it that way for the time being. However, there might have been a case where she would be forced to use it, an emergency situation. Fortunately, the only way to open the case was through a very advanced system connected through the GoPro camera that was attached to her, which was connected to a remote unlocking device connected to Kobayashi's phone in case of an emergency. If at any point her life would be in danger the system would unlock the case, but who knew what might have been inside it?

However, it seemed her thoughts would soon be brought back to reality as the driver next to her, who surprisingly enough was actually her homeroom teacher addressed her! "Ah right~ I'm sorry, I was lost thinking about the upcoming lesson." Elise answered with a brief smile as she brushed aside some of the locks that covered her eyes and looked at the man. "As you might recall from Kobayashi-sensei's message my name is Elise, Elise Von Eisenberg. The drone is called To-Dro, he is going to be recording my progress during the camp so that sensei can give me feedback once it's over~" She paused for a moment, thinking about where to proceed with her introduction next before she continued her explanation. "I transferred to Yūei Kōkō about a bit more than a month ago after learning I would be able to gain a more expansive curriculum here, and with a childhood friend of mine going here the temptation to transfer was rather strong. But that doesn't explain why someone like me, who once wanted to just be a doctor would transfer into your class, right Hayashi-sensei?"

A momentary pause followed as she turned her gaze away from him toward the window, and while it might had looked like she was simply observing the scenery she was hoping to hide the frown on the dark shadow that was cast upon her expression, the smile that seemed to hide something much more sinister than the softness of her voice. "Do you recall the recent attack on Tokyo's Hospital? My parents were among the victims... That night is the reason I transferred: I want to become strong and master the skills a hero needs so I can prevent others from suffering the same pain I had to go through."

No matter the cost...

However, as she turned back to him she couldn't help but find her smile growing more genuine once more as she added with a playful hum. "Of course, it also helps that my girlfriend is among your students~ But don't worry, I'll make certain our relationship won't interfere with the lessons~" At least she had to make sure she was in a positive mood again by the time they arrived at the area the class would be held at.

Finally, they had arrived, and after she was helped out of the vehicle by the teacher she was just in time to see the students had gathered at the camp. A final glimpse was made at the man at her side, as they approached the group, trying her utmost to remain calm as she waited for her chance to properly introduce herself to the class. When finally given permission to speak she would state in a soft and gentle tone.

"My name is Elise von Eisenberg, formerly of General Studies. Although I might have to chase in your footsteps for a while to catch up with you all, I hope there will be a day when you can consider me a part of your class." Her gaze turned toward one of the students in particular, a certain iron-blooded lass who was given a brief glimpse and the faintest hint of a curve of her lips as she bowed lightly. "I will be looking forward to learning alongside you all."

Outside of the window while Kogami was in the back seat, his headphones would play some soothing music as he wondered how his next survival trip was going to go. Of course, Kogami would have his phone, he needed some kind of way to communicate with others if things were to go wrong. However, there was a good chance that they would have no sort of cell phone signal while being out there. But the good news was the fact that Kogami had a few apps that he downloaded on his phone that could be of use. The first one was a flashlight and another example of the essential compass that was needed in case he ever got lost. Either way, Kogami felt that the bus was leading to a stop and started to get up and stretch.

He saw that Miku and Kyla were there, two people that he was already associated with. Maybe there was a chance that the other people he never really got to talk to in 1b would mesh well with him. "Oh, almost forgot!" If there was anything that Kogami couldn't forget, it was a pocket full of candy bars and a hero weekly magazine. He needed some good reading material anyway.

After getting out and lining up, Kogami held the magazine to the side.
