Chapter 136 - chapter-135

"Is that the dangerous boy we were ordered to watch?" Ryukyu questioned, somewhat confused. National security had been very clear: the best professional heroes were to be on the lookout for this threat. "I find it hard to believe that he killed that Nomu, but it's not the first time a hero has killed a villain. During the vigilante era, it was practically a street war, where both villains and vigilantes died in their fights." Thoughtfully, the Dragon woman observed the boy, who was only listening to Mt. Lady's blabbering. "It's a shame that the laws are so strict with this boy. Although he has done bad things, he did not harm any innocents." With a sigh, she knew that killing was a crime without forgiveness. Not even she would have the courage to take a life. However, in her opinion, the hero's career had faced villains who deserved much more than just being locked up.

While the silver-haired dragon was lost in her thoughts, Mirko glared at the boy he was tasked with guarding. "Is that the S-class threat we should be guarding?" Giving a huff of annoyance, he remembered the file they gave him. "Assault, resisting arrest, deliberate use of his quirks in public, homicide... That boy is a lost cause who should be behind bars. If he tries anything, I'll kick his ass to jail myself," he thought very seriously. He didn't trust that boy in the slightest and wouldn't hide it.

"Everyone, please! I need your attention!" At Mandalay's shout, all the teenagers looked at the leader of the Pussycats. "As you know, we'll be here for two weeks to train and strengthen you, all so that you can be better heroes and develop in areas that you have not yet developed," she spoke with a tone of command, hands on her hips, observing the anxious looks of the teenagers. "But anyway, we can talk more calmly in the camp... which is about eight kilometers to the south, right there!" Smiling, she pointed into the distance in the middle of the forest.

"Oh nice~ to the bus," Toru was the first to try to return to the bus, followed by several of her classmates, but her path was intercepted by her Sensei. "We have to go on foot, right?" the invisible girl asked with resignation. Even though no one saw her, she was crying her eyes out. "Why are they so cruel?" she thought as she stepped back and looked in the direction where the camp was.

"Bingo!" clapping his hands happily, Pixie-bob smiled darkly, sending a shiver through the teenagers. "Wouldn't it be fun if you had to go to camp on your own?"

"Not really," was Shinzo's lazy comment, earning a dirty look from several of the pro-heroes.

"Well, that's too bad, because you all have to arrive before sunset or you won't have dinner." Saying that, the blonde from the Pussycats hit her hands against the ground to make the earth rise and take all the students to the bottom of the cliff by the road. "Huh?" Confused, she saw the shinobi just standing next to her. He sighed before walking to the edge of the road and jumping.

"That guy is weird," shrugging his shoulders, Mandalay headed to her car, along with her team, to go to the camp and receive those who arrived first.

Leaving the professional heroes aside, we move to the bottom of the cliff to see all the teenagers recover from the movement of earth that threw them here. "Walking through a forest together with class A, should I feel honored?" Once again that day, the angry gaze of several people focused on Monoma, who stood up to shake his clothes and smile annoyingly, but was knocked down when Itsuka's giant hand crushed him like an insect.

"We just have to cross the forest, right?" Kaminari asked aloud, looking uneasily at the dark forest in front of them. "It doesn't sound so difficult..." Smiling, he was about to walk, but an animalistic roar made him stop.

"You had to say it..." patting his forehead, Jirou saw how an earth beast formed from the ground, passing through the trees and heading straight for them. When the students were going to defend themselves, they saw lightning fly over them and easily destroy the threat.

With a sigh, Naruto walked through his classmates, with an electric aura covering him. Obviously, this caused an impact among the students of Class B, as some had not even seen the shinobi in action, only at the festival, and it's not as if he had done a lot.

"Saved by Uzumaki Naruto again? And they're supposed to be better than us?" Monoma stepped out from under the hand that was crushing him, only to continue lowering himself to, in his view, the hateful class A. "His dependence on him only causes me shame, it's..."

"Silence..." with a gleam in his eyes, Shinzo made his annoying companion remain silent. Now all eyes were directed at Uzumaki Naruto, who simply walked into the forest.

"Whether I had acted or not, it wouldn't matter since I know that they can defend themselves," the shinobi lazily looked at his classmates. "I don't doubt their abilities... that's why I'm just telling you, we'll see each other at the goal." With that last comment, the shinobi disappeared in a burst of speed, leaving only a trail of dust in the direction of the camp.

"He's right…" Taking the floor, Tsuyu looked at her friends with a smile. "If Uzumaki-san doesn't doubt our abilities, why should we?" As they pondered that, they heard the roar of several more creatures living where they were, the closest being a large bird. It fell when the frog girl's tongue shot out and wrapped around the wings of the flying being, causing it to crash, to be destroyed by a blow from Midoriya, who was enveloped by his green electric aura.

"We can do it, guys! Let's go!" Leading the group, the green-haired man was followed by his companions.

"You heard it, guys! We won't be left behind!" Taking command of the group, the orange-haired class president ran in the same direction as class A, followed by her friends. Although the two groups did not get along in the best way, they knew how to unite to achieve the same objective they had: reaching the camp.

3 hours later…

"Shall we pour water on it?"

"I don't know, but it's scaring me. It's been like this for almost three hours."

Mandalay was worried, along with her three groupmates and other pro heroes. When they arrived at the camp in their transport, they were surprised to find 'Uzumaki Naruto' sitting in the lotus position, meditating next to the main building. This made the professional heroes uncomfortable since the teenager didn't even have a scratch and hadn't moved for hours.

"Here, I have a bucket of cold water." Apparently, Tiger was serious about throwing ice water at the boy. The heavily muscled guy was carrying a large metal fountain filled with ice water.

"I don't think it's a good idea," unsure, the dragon heroine was reluctant about soaking the blonde with ice water. "He's just meditating, just waiting for his companions to arrive-"

"Boring, give me that thing." Without much thought, Mirko snatched the water source to try to throw it at the brat, ignoring the warnings of Mt. Lady and others. She threw it high in the sky so that it fell on Uzumaki, "That-?" Everything was confusing for the rabbit woman, who from one moment to the next felt that she was moved, and before she knew what happened, a large amount of ice water fell on her.

"Wow! How fast!" Impressed, Ryukyu could barely see the boy stand up and, taking the rabbit woman, change places with her, "I can't believe how this boy was able to fight All Might," the heroine, who had heard rumors, thought with surprise. What this boy was capable of, but apparently, people already labeled him as a villain. Sooner or later, he might get bored and leave the academy to start down a dark path. That idea worried her. "Maybe we can break that cold shell. I'm sure he's just a sweet boy deep down," the Dragon woman thought hopefully as she saw the blonde lazily staring at the forest.

"Damn brat!" With fury, Mirko began to shake uncontrollably from the icy water. Before she could yell at him or do anything against him, they heard the arrival of all the UA teenagers from the forest, who were dirty, tired, and hungry.

"Wow! Only three hours, they impress me," Pixie-bob was satisfied with the students' good performance, "Especially you six," she said proudly, looking at Midoriya, Iida, Bakugo, Ibara, Itsuka, and Todoroki. They were at the head of the group and seemed to be the ones who put up the most fight. "I can't wait for them to be legal in three years," she said with a seductive smile, looking directly at the three teenagers, who felt uncomfortable under her gaze.

"Excuse me... I'm dying. Give me food," growled Kirishima, who was lying on the ground like several of his companions.

"..." Naruto approached Ibara at a slow pace to extend a hand and help her up. Taking out a bottle of water, he gave it to the green-haired girl, who gratefully accepted it, "They did well. I thought they would arrive later," he said, taking out another bottle of mineral water, opening it, and taking a few sips.

"It was difficult," catching her breath, the dirty and tired girl thanked her friend for the gesture, but suddenly she felt a shiver. Looking behind Uzumaki, she saw Shiori, who had a colder look than normal, "Did I do something wrong?" she asked herself with concern, feeling uneasy because of the look Todoroki was giving her.

Naruto noticed this and turned around to face the half-redhead, "Here..." Without much thought, he threw his bottle to the teenage fire and ice manipulator.

"..." With a 180° change in her personality, the girl smiled slightly and caught the bottle in the air to drink it. She couldn't help but think about the mouthpiece of the bottle, where Naruto's lips had been. "Would this be considered an indirect kiss?" she thought with fascination, a faint pink glow appearing on her pale cheeks.

"Deyaboo," Mt. Lady thought, smiling as she saw the dreamy look on little Todoroki's face. Apparently, the shinobi had a charm in his own strange way.

"..." Naruto simply walked past Shiori, intending to follow the group heading to eat after the race to reach the camp, "...?" Raising an eyebrow, he noticed Deku being knocked down by a brat who hit him hard in the crotch. That must have hurt. Shrugging his shoulders, he just continued on his way.
