Post by Nimue Nakahara on Apr 15, 2020 5:46:25 GMT -4
There was a group of now-second years that had signed up for the biology trip. Not all of them had signed up for the trip last year but there were healers around so that worked, Nimue thought about it when she had studied the list late last night before she left the campus to go home. She could maybe spice up the little tasks she had in mind by splitting the group apart. She had thus informed the students that not all of them would go at the same time and had given them different dates and times to split the group in two. Three for one day and three for the other, that would be the easiest to work with and to give them more of a guiding council if they needed help with biology or wanted to ask her questions or just had other interests in the things she did as a teacher, such as first aid, or simply her job as a pro-hero. It wouldn't be a surprise such as last year or even two years ago (heck where did the time go) that some of them signed up to learn more about her and she was wondering if that happened this year again. The bunch that joined her on this class had not been at the experience of Mount Fuji and she hoped very badly that her curse did not carry over now that they were second years. She chuckled to herself as she did not believe something bad would happen. Besides, she was prepared. She had taken water, lunches, other snacks and the first aid kit with her. As well as the little task that the three students would get. She would see how this group would deal with a day in the forest. She hoped that a trip like this would be exciting for everyone. She had this second group informed about the new date for their trip and she had also asked them to show up at the U.A. gates and she was waiting there with a car. She was going to drive to the forest as she had done the other two times to bring them there and to start their trip. She was wondering how it would go and if it was as satisfying or interesting as the others, without it being utterly different from her lesson plan. She looked forward to spending time with the three students and see how it would go. Now another note that Nimue had given the three students was to be prepared for a day in the woods and be dressed appropriately for that as well as to bring the necessary items, except lunch. She prepared that again. It helped to have a chef as a boyfriend, that made her want to cook more often. It was fun to consider, now all she was doing was enjoying the water, it wasn't too hot, so wearing a raincoat such as she did, was not an issue. She was wondering if it would rain today as there were some heavy clouds but the forecast was okay, so they would see.

Yang was excited, she had signed up for a field trip. Of course it was an educational field trip but still it was something that was different then the typical things that they did during the weekday. She was absolutely excited. Especially if that means she could sit next to Mizuki on the bus as they travel to the forest. She arrived first to the car and saw Ms. Nakahara. If Yang was right, this was the school's nurse as well? Yang shuttered slightly. As much as she liked her as the biology teacher but she didn't want to go anywhere near the infirmary. She very much hated doctors, needles, and anything related to the hospital after watching her sister die a very slow and painful death from a disease that baffled the doctors and modern medicine. Luckily this far in the school year she hasn't had to go and she could only call herself lucky considering her quirk was blood. The blood part wasn't why she considered herself lucky. Instead it was usually the source how she could get the blood to manifest her quirk properly. On most occasions, it was her own blood which could leave her anemic if shew wasn't careful. She couldn't say she hasn't some close calls because how the class schedule is. It actively has some sort of class that interacts with their quirk. Yang was pretty certain where ever they were going she wouldn't need any weapons so she deliberately left her sakabato and wakizashi back in her room. She did bring her bokken to be on the safe side. Yang waved awkwardly at Ms. Nakahara and waited for the other students to arrive. Why was Yang the first one to come again? Oh yeah she was excited about going. But where was she going again? She already forgot where the field trip was taking them. Additionally when she saw the car instead of a bus, it made Yang assume the number of people going on this field trip must be small. Unless the other cars haven't come yet. But that doesn't make sense, why not use the bus? She stood there silently wondering if she was dressed for whatever they were going to do. As of right now she was wearing the male school uniform, combat boots, her biker gloves, and her special belt that holstered her bokken. Hopefully it would be only a matter of time before the others will show up.

Mizuki had everything prepared for the trip. The email she got from Nakahara-sensei detailed that the students should wear something comforable to deal with the outdoors. So she packed the essentials- water, food, an extra pair of clothes, and a first aid kit. She even brought a sleeping bag in case they were camping out. She put on her hiking clothes which consist of a red short-sleeve T-shirt and a pair of purple shorts. She laced her combat boots that acted as her quirk regulators and doubled check to make sure was working properly. She wasn't sure of all who were going on the trip, but she had ask Nakahara-sensei if Yang could in her group. One, she wanted to make sure that Yang was comfortable and didn't felt lonely.
The other reason... Mizuki smiled as she thought about the day she spent with Yang. She felt like she could be herself around her and not feel like she had to hide from anyone. They were exploring new territory and wasn't sure how anyone else would take it. However, for the first time in a long while, Mizuki was... happy. 'You are happy that have found someone to share your expiriences with,' said Tsuki, her inner self. Tsuki had been with her for quite some time, a personality that stated that she was the center of Mizuki's inner thoughts. 'Yeah,' Mizuki thought to her inner spirit. 'I just don't want to scare her. We talked about a lot of things. But I feel like there is more to the story.'
Mizuki made her way out of the dorms and to the front gates of the school. There, Nakahara-sensei and Yang was waiting for her. She smiled at the group as she approached them. "Yang, you know going outdoors right?" Mizuki asked her in a deadpan tone. "Don't worry, I bought extra clothes just in case." She turned to her sensei. "So, where are off to?"

The trip itself was something Yuuto had some interest in. Due to various events in his life, he could never really attend these sorts of trips without something bad happening to him. So an educational trip that he can actually enjoy for the first time is something that inspires great excitement. But he was one to never show it as he was more looking forward to being out in the wilderness and not in the city he’s used to for so long.
Adding on to that it’s biology, one of the few subjects he is curious in and the one leading the trip that goes by the famous pro hero called Witch Doctor. Or what he likes to call her in his head, the school nurse who has too much work on her hands due to the chaotic nature of her work place. But it is reassuring to be taught by one of the pros in the city on a trip such as this.
His stuff he brought along was the usual water, clothes, charger, snacks and a notebook. The outfit he wore this time is a hooded, long-sleeved black jacket, and grey pants, along with some good running shoes. Making special care that he has everything for a trip like this and is ready for anything that happens. Albeit, an attack on them or something else because trouble always seems to follow him wherever he goes. His quirk is strong enough to protect them if anything were to happen in the case that something happens. But maybe that's just his paranoid habit kicking in. He did pack a survival knife and a flashlight just in case.
Of course he took his time as he woke up and got dressed. He left the dorms at a reasonable time and called his mom and sister that he is heading out. Getting something to eat was something on his mind considering the trip and he had a brief breakfast that was eggs, rice and some fish. After that, he headed to the front of the school where he saw Yang, Mizuki and Ms. Nakahara were waiting. Last one there again, but he at least wasn't late.
“Seems like the gangs all here…”, he cracked his neck as he walked up to the group. “Whats the plan today, Sensei? Is it more a scenic route or a stop by stop deal?”

Maybe it was a little surprising, but maybe it was also just that the students of the previous years had made it highly possible to be late and whatnot. She was glad to see that the three showed up and were okay in the sense of all three of them looked excited. She noticed Yang quite early and had smiled at her, she seemed to be rather nervous now that she was alone. Lucky for the girl, Mizuki showed up rather soon after that and not too much later Yuuto as well. "Goodmorning you three." she said happily, she had waited for Yuuto before she would answer Mizuki her question. She liked how the two had found each other, the girls for that matter and that Mizuki seemed to help Yang. It was always nice to know that the students found each other and had something to deal with. High school wasn't easy and especially not when it was a high school where you had very harsh training, she hoped her group would be able to depend on each other in this track.
She couldn't help but laugh with Yuuto's question, "We will go for a short route to the forest but there we definitely go for the scenic route, Samejima-kun, I hope you like that idea." She said with a laugh and turned to Mizuki, "So the plan is we put your stuff in the car and I will drive to the forest, we will go on a little hike to discover the scenery together and I will teach you a few things about nature, how to find stuff, how to find plants that might help you in case you need something." She looked at all three of them, "Does that sound good?"
She would wait for the response of all three before indicating to them to get into the car and she would take the short drive to the forest. "So what do you expect from this trip? What do you want to learn so to say?" She said as it might be something that they already bump into but it might also be something that they could add to the program. Nimue looked forward to it and the trip was about twenty minutes drive and after that they got out and they would get out of the car and she instructed everyone to get their stuff ready and would ask Yang if she wanted to change to the other clothes that Mizuki had brought along.

Yang looked at Yuuto. He asked a very odd question shortly after Mizuki mentioned that she may need a change of clothes. What was wrong with what Yang was wearing? She was confused. If they could have worn anything, she would have worn her black tee with camouflage pants. Yang listed as Ms. Nakahara had spoken. The plan was for them to drive to the forest and go on a hike. But why did Yang need to change her clothes again if it was only a hike? Maybe there was more than what the teacher was telling them. It wouldn't be surprising considering the fact that they were in a school designed to make the future generation of heroes. And of course, as Yang listened to Ms. Nakahara there was definitely more to the plan. This was why she needed a change of clothes. Yang pondered how long it would take her to run from here to the dormitory to change and come back? However, she didn't really get a chance to change if she wanted to. Before she realized it, they were already in the car on the way to the forest. It was an approximate twenty minute drive. Yang could run fast but not that fast. It would take her way too long to even attempt now. She sighed and apparently had no choice but to change into the clothes Mizuki said she had. But Yang was a bit nervous, she wasn't sure what kind of clothes they were or if they would even fit her. It wasn't too long before they arrived at the forest and they all gotten out of the car. Ms. Nakahara had also asked other questions but Yang stayed silent. She wasn't really creative and wasn't sure what to expect out of this field trip since this was her first one she ever went on. Being home schooled made Yang realized that she was sheltered from a lot of life experiences but she couldn't blame her father for raising her in such a manner. She had a hard time controlling her quirk so she could understand everything that Myrkul did for her or attempted to do for her. Yang leaned over towards Mizuki and whispered into her ear. "What kind of clothes do you have?" She wasn't sure why she whispered. Both Mizuki and Yuuto knew she could speak. Yang didn't have to play the role of the mute if she didn't want to. But that didn't mean she felt anymore comfortable about speaking especially in front of the school's nurse. And of course Ms. Nakahara had asked if everyone was ready and asked if Yang wanted to change into the spare clothes that Mizuki had brought. Yang sighed. She guess she doesn't have a choice but to wear whatever Mizuki had. She held out towards Mizuki indicating that she would just take it and get over how she felt about wearing someone else's clothes. Why didn't Yang just turn run back to her room when she had the chance? She sighed and waited for Mizuki to hand over whatever she had.

Nakahara-sensei told them that they were making a trip to the forest for today. It had been a while since Mizuki visited a forest. The last time she did she went camping with her family for a weekend in the mountains. It was quite the expiereince being close to nature and seeing its beauty up close. But Mizuki wanted to learn more. Being that she had a quirk that dealt with elements, she wanted to understand about nature and its surroundings. "Sounds good, sensei," Mizuki responded.
Before long, they were all the car, heading for the forest they would go to study nature. Nimue asked if there was something they had wanted from this trip learning wise. "I want to see nature up close again," Mizuki said to her teacher. "The last time I have been out in nature was with my family. There are so many things I want to learn- how does nature fit with our world and does it coexist with us as people." Mizuki had wonder that for a while now. Did nature tolerate the futuristic world that people had produce? It was something to look into.
During the car ride, Yang whispered to Mizuki about which clothes she had. "No worries," she said to her friend. She pulled a black T-shirt and a pair of jeans from her bag and handed them to Yang. It probably wasn't something Yang was use to, but it would be lot better than her school uniform. She was happy that Yuuto was with them as well. It had been a long time since the three had been together and was nice because they were more use to being around quieter people.

Yuuto heard the response and it was what he was expecting but more of the fun of it was just seeing the place for themselves. “All good for me. I'm just gonna call shotgun for the front seat”, he gave a thumbs up to Ms. Nimue. This is the time where he hopes nothing bad occurs since this is the first breath of fresh air he has had in awhile. The last time he did this sort of thing was in middle school; but due to circumstance and issues he was of course not allowed to do much barring looking at water and trees. Not so much studying but more being punished for not being up to their standards. UA has been treating him well so far barring the dozens of incidents he finds himself in.
He looked at Yang and Mizuki while they did their own thing. It was a nice change of pace to be with the more reserved people compared to his usual crowd. He knows one of em can talk normally but forcing her to talk ain't gonna do much aside from make things awkward. Mizuki knew her more so he let her do her thing while he focused on his stuff. Nothing much to do aside from get in the car and do their thing.
Before getting into the car, their teacher did ask them a vital question that Yuuto had been thinking on since signing up for the trip. “Typically get to know my environment more so when the job takes us to this sort of terrain, we’ll be ready. It’ll be handy knowledge to have once that time comes”, he answered with confidence as he did not miss a beat. He heard the others' answers and they were fine. A part of him just really wants to see nature.
He got into the front seat of the car as he said and proceeded to just enjoy the drive. More or less just relaxed in his seat as he looked out the window. Taking in the silence and atmosphere of it all. It lasted for about 20 minutes but that was fine as they all got out of the car and were instructed to get ready. He was about as ready as he can be as he had his bag on his back and he was ready to do anything.
"So whats the first thing on the list, Ms. Nimue?", he asked as he looked around the area.

She strapped her backpack to her own body, the clips over her collarbone and at her stomach and she waited patiently for Yang to change, she could use the car to shield herself, there was no one here but them. "Alright, so the idea is indeed to be close with Nature and learn more about it. I am afraid not all your questions will be answered today Haymaker-san." Because she seriously hoped not to move around self-moving grass that would kidnap and tangle up people, hopefully, there was someone with a hidden talent to calm down the grass in that case. She had been lucky with Miku around at that trip that was already two years ago. What a strange phenomenon. But now that was not the matter and thus she pointed at a trail that showed already the green grass, it was spring and most of the trees carried small green leaves, "We will first follow that track for a bit, to get further into the forest. Just be careful where you step, the path is narrow and we don't know exactly what's next to it. If you bump into something you want to know about, we can look it up together, if I don't know, I brought a book with me." She smiled at them, but was fairly sure she knew enough. She had brought the book along for other reasons.
"The next thing we do is find an open space wide enough for the four of us to stand and see nature and listen to it. That sounds quite silly when you say it like that, but you can learn and you can discover. Now, any other questions before we go?" It was of course important to see if Yang was ready before the teacher set off, they definitely had to walk behind each other instead of next to each other but that did not mean they could not talk or ask her questions. She would go with a steady pace, she knew that it would be about fifteen to twenty minutes with this pace to get to the spot she had in mind.

Yang looked at the clothes that Mizuki gave her. She appreciated it greatly and would wait for an opportunity to change. She sat in the quietly in the back listening in on the others discussion. Yuuto was a very interesting person. Thanks to a fateful encounter at the training grounds. She got to meet someone else in this school. It was quite hard for Yang to meet people since she was playing the role of a mute. One day she will not be so skittish around people. But she doubts that will be any time soon. Slowly but surely maybe one day Yang will come out of her shell. Until then she can hope to continue to grow as a person. The group finally arrived at the forest. Yuuto asked what the first thing that Ms. Nakahara had planned. Yang had subconsciously walked off to change into the clothes Mizuki gave her. When she came back, she felt fairly self conscious about what she was wearing. The shirt was something Yang wore almost every day but the pants, they were form fitting. Of course they were a bit loose around the waist but Yang had her belt. So it wasn't hard to adjust the pants so they wouldn't fall off while they were here in the forest. When she returned Ms. Nakahara was had let them know that the part of the trip would be spent finding an open space for them to appreciate the nature around them. She had asked if there was any other questions while looking at each one of the students. Of course she made sure to pay attention to see if Yang had changed or not. To her luck, Yang had already changed into the clothes Mizuki gave her earlier in the car trip. Yang had placed her other clothes in the car before closing the door. She had looked at Ms. Nakahara and nodded to indicate that she was ready.

Mizuki wished she had pants that Yang was comfortable with. Unfortunately, all she had was what she brought with her. Nakahara-sensei had answered Mizuki's question, which she didn't feel too much disappointment about. That would take longer than a day to find answers to that and whole lot of research. It was best just to enjoy the beauty around them. Maybe she would see something new.
Once Yang had change, Mizuki got in line with the rest of them. Mizuki was still confused on where she stood with Yang. The only answer she had got from Yang was that she would need some time to think about it. They were not super romantic or anything like that, but she did take a liking to her. But they were so many fears and doubts in Mizuki's mind. Will Yang accept her? Would people accept them? Will this get in the way of her goals? So many questions with no answers.
'The best idea is to take it slow,' Tsuki piped in her mind. 'It takes time for someone to be open. That girl has probably been through so much. Just be there for her and let it develop slowly.' Tsuki was right on that one. The best way to go about this was to take it slow and be there for Yang. Maybe she can get a second opinion from someone else. In the meantime, the nature around them was very beautiful. And so was Yang. Mizuki strapped up her backpack and followed her sensei and the rest of the group.

Waiting for Yang to change allowed for some thinking on Yuutos part as he soon realized that he is the only guy in the group again. But he kept his cool as he recalled his childhood being raised by his sister and mom. He kept himself distracted by taking a look around the scenery; the smell of the forest, the feeling of the light breeze blowing through his hair, the light shining through the foliage chirps of various birds and insects. It is a sight that he would love to share with his family but it was a melancholic feeling. His eyes swept through the area as kept his mind occupied. What sort of stuff are they going to find, what is going to run into them, so on and so forth kept him from losing it.
“Noted, Nimue-sensei”, Yuuto replied as he followed suit behind her. Mizuki and Yang were more the quiet type and he enjoyed their silence immensely as he enjoyed the nature around him a lot more. He enjoyed his chaos with all of his heart but a guy has to have a moment of peace one way or another. The sounds of various Animals echo through the forest as they walk through the trail. It is rather therapeutic to say the least as he was alone with his thoughts during the down time. No fights, no arguments, no cats, no villains, just the sounds of nature.
“Nimue-sensei. What type of bird is that up there?”, He asked as he pointed ahead to see a small red bird resting on a branch. It was calming to see such a small animal resting and he was tempted to get closer but he feared scaring it away. So he looked with a rather curious expression on his face as he awaited his response. After that he continued to follow along to try and see what else can be of interest to them.

Both girls did not say much, Nimue hoped that Mizuki just kept an eye out on Yang and would say something in case it was necessary. She knew Yang wasn't deaf, so she didn't have to worry about the girl not hearing her and neither was she mute, so Nimue's lack in sign language wasn't going to be an issue either. This would all be fine, she was just hoping that if something was wrong the girl would speak up. While the group shortly waited for everyone to get ready, her eye fell on Yuuto. He seemed to be so relaxed and if she wasn't mistaken; happy and curious to be here. She saw him look around and just taking deep breaths and showed this relaxed status. She hoped to see him more often than that, she could imagine that being at a combat driven and difficult school like Yuuei, wasn't always doing good to people. Which was another reason to the plan of the classes of today. She was definitely going to try and promote today, get hopefully some answers for Mizuki-chan and get the relaxing and studious atmosphere in the sense that Yuuto would be interested in and then hoping Yang would like it as well. Right, that was the plan.
As she was the first in the line of walkers and followed by the only boy in the group, she could easily hear him softly call out about a bird and she stopped. To look over her shoulder and see the small red-brown bird and she squinted, "I think it's a cuckoo." She would have to get her book to see it for sure but she was sure she got the species right, it started to sing and she smiled at Yuuto, "Now I am almost hundred per cent sure." She said softly and hunched down so they could see it better as it was sitting on a lower branch in a small clearing, exactly what she knew about the cuckoo species, she had to think about its name though. "There should be another one nearby, they live in pairs and it's almost the season to go and build nests and hatch eggs." She ushered Yuuto to go a little forward, "If you move slowly, it will notice you but will not immediately move away, you are far enough away to not be dangerous yet, maybe you can take a good picture?"
Depending on if the bird flew away or not before or after Yuuto got the picture, Nimue would lower her backpack and get her book out and softly moved through the pages, it was quite a thick book on all sorts of species that could be found in this region of Japan, "It's the lesser coucal. And it's one that makes their own little nest and hatches their own little eggs. Did you know that some cuckoos in Europe throw out the eggs of other birds and leave their own in there? The little other bird would then take care of the cuckoos chick."

Yang Yang looked around as she saw the nature. It wasn't long before something caught the eye of Ms. Nakahara and Yuuto. They were discussing a cuckoo? Yang blinked as she looked at it. Wasn't it a chicken...? Or at least that was what Myrkul has always taught her.
However her attention wasn't long for their conversation at all. As she really looked into the forest. It was really breathe taking and today was a peaceful day for this field trip. Yang was really enjoying herself as she walked around gazing at each thing that was in the forest.
"Nini did you forget about me?" the young girl asked. No not right now. Why right now? Yang froze as she saw her sister. Did Yang forget...? What did she forget again? She paused as she finally looked at her answer. It was a cherry blossom tree that was already in full bloom. Did she forget that day? It was a specific day that Yang always took to herself to take a trip. One of the few memories that Yang had intact was the day she had to bury her sister. It was in an unmarked hallow grave that was under a cherry blossom tree. It must had been about that time of year now, she always set aside a day to mourn.
Of course her life was uprooted by her father a few months ago. She was trying to adjust to this new life that Myrkul forced into. Luckily Mizuki was there. Yang had grabbed onto her arm. As she attempted to calm herself down. Mizuki understood a bit too well what was going on with Yang but that was the problem. They didn't know what was going on. She could only hope that no one else noticed Yang spacing out and then suddenly grabbing onto Mizuki as if she was some scared child.

Mizuki was enjoying the walk so far. Yuuto even managed to spot a bird and showed the rest of the group. She listened as Nimue-sensei explained the species to them, stating how they care for their young. "That's interesting, sensei," Mizuki said with a small smile. It sounded a little vicious how the bird took care of its young by getting rid of another bird's eggs. But that was the circle of life. And all creatures acted out of habit. Or something like her father used to say.
"Hey Yang, you got to check this out," she said to her friend. "Yang?" She turned around to see the girl staring at what seemed to be a cherry blossom tree. Mizuki approached her as Yang continued to stare at it. It looked like she had seen a ghost. She gripped tightly as though she was afraid of something. "Yang," Mizuki touch the girl's shoulder lightly. "Are you okay?" If Yang did respond, Mizuki would tell her, "It will be okay. You are not alone." Then she turned to call out for her sensei, careful not to disturb Yuuto's bird watching. "Hey sensei, do cherry blossom trees grow out her often?" Mizuki asked her.
