CHAPTER START---

Walking through the rocky training area Horizon is surrounded by a circus of students training. Everyone using their Quirks none stop, he sees Sero atop a small hill constantly firing off streams of tape non-stop.

Sato and Momo are sitting at a table eating sweets while constantly using their Quirks.

Mina is trying to melt a massive boulder while Jiro is standing slightly off the side talking to Eraser Head.

Horizon sees a set of massive gashes in the boulder away from Mina, 'so Jiro was constantly stabbing into the rock with her jacks. Since they're organic they should work like bone and heal to be stronger and more precise...Eraser must be giving her my suggestion about her heart rate.'

Sparing a few people a glance, and having a small chuckle at the sight of Uraraka inside a gain bubble ball rolling down a hill, 'training to fight the nausea of using her Quirk huh', he makes his way to the edge of the training area where the forest begins.

There he finds yet another member of the Wild Wild Pussycats. Yawara Chatora, Tiger, standing at 190cm -6ft3-, he had brown skin, lighter than the color of his particular Pussycat's outfit. Wearing the same crop top and skirt combo as the others.

He was slightly shorter and less muscular than Horizon, but the way he was treating his students and the looks on their faces clearly showed he was intimidating.

But after training with Arsenal, it takes a lot to rattle Horizon.

Approaching the small grassy clearing between the trees Horizon sees the man yelling at the Power Type students.

Or more accurately, Power Type student. Because only Deku technically fit that description, and the only other student in this training section was Hitoshi Shinso.

Both were in their PE Uniforms like everyone else, but Shinso was stuck training physically since nobody else could actually resist his Quirk, and he needed to catch up physically to Hero Course students.

Looking at him Horizon could see that he put on some muscle, nothing absurd like Horizon's gains but he certainly wasn't the lanky stick from the Sports Festival. He was also wearing a shorter version of Eraser Head's scarf capture weapon around his neck.

'Oh...so we have two Aizawas now,' Horizon thinks as he sees the bags under Shinso's eyes.

"C'mon!" Tiger screams at Deku.

One For All: 5%!

Deku launches a smash directly at Tiger's chest.

Using his Quirk, Pliabody, Tiger makes his body pliable and flexible, twisting his torso for the strike to miss.

"Too obvious!" Tiger yells as he connects a right hook into Deku's side, knocking him a few feet away into a tree.

Deku falls to the floor, and within seconds he's back on his feet, much faster than the first day of camp.

For everyone here, their 3 weeks of training have caused extreme improvements.

"Nice hit," Horizon says, causing all three people to turn toward him. "Atleast I think it was, hard to tell with how your Quirk works."

"Thanks," Tiger says as both Deku and Shinso stop training to listen in, then he immediately turns to them. "I didn't say you could rest! Pushups! Now!"

They both instantly drop down and continue.

"I'm actually here for Shinso, time for his Quirk training."

"Oh, alright, Shinso you're training with Horizon now." Tiger turns back to Horizon as Shinso gets up and dusts himself off. "So how'd you like your room?"

"It's great, honestly this entire resort is exactly what I needed after the last few weeks of Hero work."

"Mhm," Tiger nods, frowning as he knew what Horizon meant. "That last League Of Villains attack was despicable, honestly I was against you even leaving Tokyo to come here. And that was even before that attack happened, taking you out of the field just isn't smart.

But Principal Nezu insists on you helping them with their Quirks. Besides it's not like us Pro Heroes are helpless, and now the villains know that too after Endeavor incinerated the USJ Nomu."

"Yeah, but most people aren't Endeavor," Horizon says.

"That's true, but while you're a one-of-a-kind occurrence, you aren't the only powerful future Pro Hero in your class. In fact, I don't think UA has ever had a class with this much talent in it."

BOOM!

The sound of a loud explosion echoes through the training area as Bakugo starts training on the other side of the camp.

"Speak of the devil huh," Horizon chuckles. "Yeah, by regular standards there are some impressive people here, but nothing about me is normal, and that includes my expectations from people."

"That much I've overheard," Tiger says quietly. "Your classmates were worried about having you see them train, you really should work on your attitude, it'll make it much easier to have friends."

"Tch, if they're so worried about what people think then they're too pathetic to be around me anyway, just get better, it really is that simple."

Tiger frowns at that, "for some people it's not that easy."

"Whatever," Horizon turns around and begins walking away, "Shinso, c'mon..."

Shinso falls into step behind Horizon as they walk across the field, all the way to Ragdoll who was sitting on a stack of wooden boxes.

Sitting beside her was Toru, earning her PE Uniform, and they were both watching Sato and Momo constantly eating at a table a few feet away, seemingly chatting about something that was making Toru nervous.

As Horizon comes into view of everyone Momo immediately starts choking, scrambling to find her water. Not wanting him of all people to see her like this.

Sitting at a short table scarfing down a whole wedding cake with her bare hands while constantly using her Quirk...not ladylike at all.

But while she scrambles to wipe her hands and face and drink some water, Horizon walks past without even sparing her a glance.

"Toru, training time," Horizon says.

Toru just looks away and leans over to Ragdoll.

Ragdoll was the final member of the Wild Wild Pussycats that Horizon would meet, completing the set. She's also the person who came up with the idea for the group.

She was a short woman with long green hair and large eyes, with golden pupils. She wore a yellow version of the Pussycat's outfit and had pink whiskers drawn onto her face with makeup.

Toru fails to make herself small enough to hide behind Ragdoll before the woman hops off the crates and stands in front of Horizon.

"Hi there!" She says in an excited voice...far too excited for him to deal with at 8 am.

"Hey, I'm Horizon, I'm just here for Toru to start training."

"Yeah about that," Ragdoll gives him a sheepish look. "So before you start...could you maybe give her a small apology?"

Sitting nearby both Momo and Sato stop eating, suddenly becoming very worried for everyone involved. Shinso just stands back, not interested in any of this nonsense.

"Why would I ever have to apologize to her?" Horizon looks up to see Toru looking down at the floor, almost two weeks after he'd revealed he could see her and she hasn't been able to talk to him or even look at his face...visor.

"Well you embarrassed her," Ragdoll says. "C'mon just a small apology."

"Mmm," Horizon looks past Ragdoll and directly at Toru. "I don't owe you anything, and you'll never get one. And since I'm the only person that can train you to control that Quirk, either get over it and stop wasting my time, or go fuck yourself..."

Horizon turns and begins walking away, toward a spot he can use to train them, not even bothering to wait for Toru.

As he's a few steps away he feels a tingling at the back of his head, someone trying to make a connection to his mind.

He slowly turns around to look at Ragdoll, "Don't try that again."

She looks confused and scared, "why didn't that work."

"Because I don't want it to."

Ragdoll shakes her head, not understanding. Her Quirk, Search, allows her to make a connection to up to 100 people and save them in her mind, within the range of a few miles she can then locate them. This Quirk has no time limit, and if the about of people stored is reached then the first to be added is replaced.

"It's for safety," Ragdoll says. "Everyone at camp has to be in my Quirk in case someone gets lost."

"I'll be fine, just stay out of my head..."

Before Horizon can even take a few steps away, Toru stops him, running up to him and Shinso.

"Wait!" she yells out. "Please, teach me how to control my Quirk!"

Horizon turns around to see Toru staring up at him with a determined look, forcing herself not to look away. "Good, now hold still."

"Wha---" Toru freezes as he puts his large hand flat across the middle of her chest.

"This is step one," he says before anyone can start yelling, holding her shoulder so she doesn't break contact. "Listen very carefully to me, your Quirk cannot be deactivated in your current state. Have you been doing the meditation exercises I suggested?"

"Mhm," Toru nods stiffly, eyes closed and blushing up a storm. Off to the side, Momo absentmindedly glared at the scene, angrily eating pieces of cake.

"Good, that makes you aware of this state, next I'm going to remove your heart."

"WHAT!" Toru screams out.

"Wait you can't do that," Ragdoll says, approaching to try and separate them.

"She'll be fine, this is what my Quirk does," Horizon says. "This will put her body into a kind of 'emergency power' mode. Right now her power consumption on her Quirk is so minimal that she's never even noticed it, but this should shut it down anyway."

He feels Toru breathing quickly, terrified of the idea. But she's so desperate for this. Desperate to have somewhat of a normal life. Meet a boy, fall in love, have a whirlwind romance, and have a family. And now she didn't have to wait to become a Pro Hero for someone to finally notice her.

"Mes," Horizon says, and out comes her heart. He cradles her with one arm so she doesn't fall and puts the Heart behind his back. All before her eyes open.

Showing someone their own beating heart always ends in disaster.

And everyone around is amazed at what they see, Toru Hagakure, short, slim, stacked, pale skin and greenish-pink long wild hair.

As she comes to her senses and looks down at her hands, the tears begin flowing, and they can't seem to stop.

"Ugh," Horizon drops her to the floor causing her to wince as Ragdoll rushes over. "Focus on your own body and get used to this state, then when I give you back your heart you should be able to mentally put yourself into this state."

The girl barely responds between sobs and Horizon just begins walking away, signaling Shinso to join him.

Shinso actually has a horrified expression on his face, seeing this on a replay is one thing, but witnessing Horizon remove a heart in person was downright horrific.

The already intimidating reputation and presence just seem that much heavier.

Off to the side, it took everything for Momo and Sato not to lose their lunch.

Sato quickly lost that battle, while Momo forced herself to hold it down, trying her best not to appear weak in front of her crush.

As Shinso falls into step behind Horizon he glances over to see Pixie Bob working with Juzo and a few others. But she gives him a small wave which he actually mirrors.

"Alright Shinso, let's get some actual training in..."
