Expanding Abilities

"Good morning everyone." Aizawa greeted the sleepy class. "Today we begin a rigorous round of reinforcement training." Ignoring the moans and groans, he continued. "The purpose of this trip is to strengthen your quirks in the hopes that you'll be ready to take the hero license exam by the time we get back to UA."

Aiden had already guessed most of what the speech would be about and tuned out the unnecessary parts.

"Blah, blah, blah, preparation, blah, blah, enemy, blah, blah, blah, Bakugo throw this."

-Class 1-B's lodge-

"We're focusing on our quirks?"

Nodding his head, homeroom teacher of Class 1-B Vlad King, motioned for them to follow as he headed towards the forest.

"Class A's already begun their training, you all need to catch up. Last semester the spotlight was on them, next semester will be our time to shine. So from now on aim for the stars."

Holding his tears back, TetsuTetsu took these words to heart and swore that he wouldn't lose against anyone from class 1-A.

"Um sir?" A girl with dark green hair called out. "I get that you want everyone to improve their quirks, but we have 20 unique powers in our class. What kind of training will help all of us get better?"

Hearing her question, Vlad King responded in his gruff voice. "When your muscle fibers are overused they break and grow back tougher and thicker! Quirks work in the same way, they improve the harder you push them, stronger after every workout."

"I see, so what your saying is we need to workout our quirks like we would a muscle!"

"Mmm." He nodded.

Arriving at Class 1-A's training area, class B was frozen in place once they saw the chaotic scenery in front of them.

"RAUGHHH!!!!" Bakugo screamed while plunging his hands in boiling water and releasing a large explosion above him.

"ARGHHHH!!!" Tokoyami's screams could be heard from inside a dark cave.

"RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN!!" Iida repeated while running around the field.

*Pant* *Pant* *Pant*

Sitting in an oil drum full of water, Shoto was continuously switching between his fire and ice side to control the water temperature while also affecting his surroundings.

"QUI! QUI! QUI! QUI! QUI! QUI! QUI! QUI! QUI! QUI! QUI! QUI! QUI! QUI!" A blue light kept shooting out of Aoyama's belly while he made some disturbing noises.

"What the fuck!!" The kids from 1-B exclaimed.

"Normally we'd adjust the training based on physical growth-"

"But we don't have time for that." Aizawa said cutting into Vlad King's speech.

Realizing the number of students and the amount of teachers, Kendo couldn't help but say. "But with both classes combined wouldn't there be too many people for just you two to handle?"

Nodding his head, Aizawa paused his steps and said. "That's why we called them."

"THAAATS CORRECT!!" A green haired girl appeared in front of Aizawa wearing a yellow version of the Wild Wild Pussycat's outfit and had the same headset on her head.

"Your feline fantasies are here meeow!!" Mandalay appeared next to her.

The green hair cat girl continued. "We've come to lend a paw and help!!"

Then out of nowhere, a super jacked muscly dude that looked like he was in his forties flexed his muscles and carried on their catchphrase.

"Coming out of nowhere..." His voice was way to deep.

"Stingingly cute and catlike!"

"We're the Wild, Wild Pussycats FULL VERSION!!" The 4 of them posed.

Watching them from a distance, Aiden couldn't help but say. "Cringe." Before going back to meditating.

"I'm Ragdoll!! My quirk Search allows me up to monitor up to 100 people at a time! Oh! And I can also locate their weak points!!" The energetic green haired girl said.

"I'm Pixie-Bob!! My quirk Earthflow will let me create optimal training areas for you guys!!"

"And my quirk Telepath allows me to give advise to multiple people at once!!" Mandalay smiled.

Then it was the old dude's turn. "The name's Tiger, and I'm here to beat you guys to a pulp."

Hearing these words coming from a guy whose biceps were bigger than there heads made the students of class B sweat.

"Those with strength augmentation abilities come to me." As if to prove his point, he went over and started beating the shit out of Deku.

"Okay, lets give this a try." Standing in the middle of an empty forest, Aiden closed his eyes and started concentrating. A soft purple glow started emanating from his body and began to tremble as it gathered on his back.

Taking a deep breath, the energy started to wiggle and writhe as if it was alive. Aiden's eyes suddenly tightened as 4 purple tentacle-like appendages emerged. As if in pain, his face scrunched up as his eyes started to waver.

Unable to hold it any longer, his eyes flashed open and the tentacles vanished.

'FUCK!!'

Taking a minute to gather his barrings, he sat in a lotus position and focused on regaining his mental stamina.

"Having trouble?" Pixie-Bob asked.

"What do you want?" He asked without opening his eyes.

Smiling at his attitude, she lay on a branch and played with a small yarn ball.

"I came to check on my mate. Can't have anything happen to you before you give me kittens." She grinned.

"....You know your not an actual cat right?" He asked suspiciously.

"I still want you to give me kittens!"

"Are we talking about actual kittens or..."

Rolling her eyes, she hopped down from the branch she was relaxing on and landed in front of the immobile Aiden.

"If you don't hurry I'll find someone else to fill me up." She grinned trying to get his attention.

"...If you want some other guy to pay for my kids then I won't object." He answered indifferently.

"...."

Aiden didn't really know how to feel about this eccentric girl in front of him. When it came to things such as romantic love, he considered himself a novice. While it was true that he loved Mina and Rumi, he didn't know if it was romantic or something else. He definitely felt goodwill towards the two of them, but he couldn't say that he could dedicate his life to them. Nor did he get butterflies in his stomach when thinking about them. Even Momo, a girl that he had shown some interest in didn't give him any strong feelings that could be described as love.

He was honestly beginning to wonder if there was something wrong with him.

[A/n: Saw parents killed/tortured/raped when he was a kid then suffered through years of intense training to become a weapon and now has a rising urge to slaughter indiscriminately and only now suspects that there may be something wrong with him...]
