Timeless wounds
Arriving at the lodge, Aiden walked out of the bus with Pixie-Bob clinging onto him. When he asked Aizawa about it, the cynical bastard just grinned and ignored him. But he also saw it as an opportunity to infuriate Rumi so he decided to take advantage of the situation. Pulling his phone out of his pocket, he held it high and took a selfie of the two of them before sending it to the rabbit hero.
Smiling at the thought of her reaction, Aiden subconsciously started petting Pixie-Bob with a weird smile on his face. Taking his actions as him accepting her, Pixie-Bob snuggled into his embrace and started purring.
Seeing this, Mandalay and the little boy who Aiden had previously ignored looked at the two with weird expressions on their faces.

Not to long after the selfie was taken, Aiden departed from the group much to Pixie-Bob's reluctance and went to check out the lodge. After a few minutes had passed, he checked the time and went out to meet Aizawa.
Sensing his presence, Pixie-Bob immediately leapt at him. Activating his astral gravity manipulation technique, Aiden light-stepped off the ground and onto the roof of the lodge. Not being one to give up on her prey, Pixie-Bob earth bended her way onto the roof and chased after Aiden again.
Seeing as he had time to kill, he decided to play this cat and mouse game with her.
"How long do you think they're gonna take?" He asked Aizawa while dodging a swipe from his catlike admirer.
"It shouldn't be to long." He answered without turning to look.
-10 minutes later-
*Pant* *Pant*
"Done already?" Aiden taunted. "If you want to me to be your mate then you'll have to have the stamina to compete with me." He teased.
Gritting her teeth, Pixie-Bob struggled to push herself off the ground and charged towards Aiden again.
Watching the two go at it again, Mandalay went over to talk to Aizawa.
"What's with this kid? His stamina is actually better than Pixie's."
"Don't ask me." Aizawa sighed thinking about how much Aiden had progressed in such a short amount of time.
Half an hour later, the students were finally beginning to emerge from the forest. Their clothes were torn and dirty while their faces were covered in mud and perspiration. They honestly looked like they had just crawled out from hell.
Sitting on top of the building, Aiden waved towards the group while they all glared at him.
Even Mina, his biggest fan gave him the stink eye and chose to ignore him.
'Did they want me to suffer with them that much?' He smiled wryly.

Making herself presentable, Pixie-Bob patted down her outfit before going up to the group. Slightly grumpy over the fact that she was unable to catch Aiden, she did her best to put on a smile while addressing the rest of class 1-A.
"You guys here faster than I thought. Good job!" She gave them a thumbs up.
"Um... I've been wondering this for a while but, whose kid is that?" Deku asked and pointed to the kid in the red cap.
To bored to listen to his crap, Aiden ignored the little shit and hopped down from the roof and walked over to Mina.
"How was it?" He asked.
Taking a second to answer, she looked at Aiden before diving into his chest. Not wanting to be covered in dirt, he sidestepped her lunge but stopped her from falling over. This didn't go unnoticed by Pixie-Bob who started hissing in his direction.
---
After being punched in the balls by the kid, Deku and the rest were escorted to the dining room where a feast awaited them.
Kirishima and Denki ate like they had been starved for several days and scarfed the food down like it was water.
Sitting in between Mina and Momo, Aiden enjoyed the conversation and took several selfies of the three of them and sent them to Rumi.
"Earth made monsters?" He said surprised by what they faced in the forest.
"Yeah! They were really creepy." Mina said in between mouthfuls.
Delivering the food to the tables, Pixie-Bob saw the interaction between Aiden and the two girls and mentally compared herself to them. And much to her surprise, both girls had a bigger chest than her. Feeling a dark gaze land on their bodies, both girls turned their heads to the side and saw a gloomy looking Pixie-Bob staring at their chests.
'Chest! Big Chests!! So Big!! Mine's nothing in comparison! NO! I have something over these girls that I can use to my advantage!! Unlike these highschool girls, I can entice him with my adult charms!'
Mumbling to herself, she didn't realize that everyone had already left except Aizawa and Mandalay.
"Is she going to be alright?"
Looking at her friend, Mandalay could only sigh. "Lets hope so."

Seeping into the hot spring, Aiden and the others found themselves relaxing and soaking in the natural waters. Closing his eyes, Aiden relaxed his guard and enjoyed the feeling of letting go. Unlike the others, this was probably one of the only times in his life where he could let go of all his worries and just enjoy himself. Although it would be better if he wasn't surrounded by a bunch of other dudes.
By the time he left, night had already arrived and the others had long since departed. Holding a bottle of chocolate milk in his hand, he undid the lid and shifted onto the lodge's roof. Looking up at the sky, a sudden feeling of melancholy came over him.
Constructing his signature knife, he held it in his hand and took a long look at it.
"So much for time heals all wounds." He smiled and sat gazing at the star filled sky.
