CHAPTER START---
As the sun was setting and training was done for the day, Pixie-Bob eagerly volunteered to go find the final student, Horizon.
Aside from him, everyone else could be called by Mandalay's Quirk, but Horizon always has to be 'difficult'.
He'd completed training with Shinso hours ago and was doing his own training now.
In a small rocky area at the end of the training area, she sees him standing completely still with both his arms out. His hands clasped together as if he were hiding something between them.
'Hmm, I wonder how this is training his Quirk...' she casually strolls up to him.
And the moment she's within ten meters.
Taking that one step forward into his room she suddenly feels her foot get cold. As if she stepped into the winter season all of a sudden.
She immediately hops back, and sees Horizon turn to her, now sensing her as she entered his room.
"Are you ok?"
"Mmm, yeah," she taps her foot a few times to make sure. "I guess I should have called out to you, but I figured you'd just sense me walking over here."
"I was focused on something else," he shrugs and walks over to her, raising a hand to touch her shoulder. "Hold still."
As his hand touches her shoulder he does a full Scan of her body. Finding no damage from the sudden cold or other effects, and her body functioning perfectly...if only running rather hot.
"Ok, you're good."
"Did you just give me a checkup?" She gives him a slightly worried look. "Shouldn't you ask permission before that?"
"I try to keep certain things about my Quirk quiet, so I hope you can keep this between us. I can trust you, right?" She shakes her head, exasperated by his casual attitude about this, then nods.
"Alright, but only because you're a doctor, just don't do that to me again without asking first."
Horizon chuckles at that, leaning down to tower over her, getting much closer to her face. "Well it didn't tell me anything new, already knew you were hot, now I just know what the right spots are..."
Him being this forward with his intentions causes her to freeze, then she furrows her brow and shoves him back as hard as she could, forcing herself to take a step back as she couldn't move him.
She angrily stomps her foot and folded her arms, "I'm supposed to do the teasing!" She points an accusing finger at him. "Don't you know you're supposed to get all flustered and shy, this isn't cute at all!" She yells before turning and stomping away.
Horizon gives a loud and genuine laugh as he begins walking behind her. "You know maybe I should get you upset more often," he focuses on the unconscious sway in her hips as she's walking away. "This view is definitely worth it..."
Pixie-Bob freezes, gives an annoyed groan, then continues walking, not correcting her strut at all...
By the time they arrive back at the main building two hundred meters away Pixie-Bob has already settled down and is walking beside Horizon.
"So were you trying to make an ice attack, maybe something like Todoroki?" She asks.
"Not really, that's just a side effect."
"Oh, so what were you trying to do?"
"I'd rather not say, but you already know more than anyone else, let's just keep this between us."
"Oh yeah, no problem," she nods along happily as they continue to chatter.
Their arrival at camp isn't missed by many people, Pixie-Bob was always a ball of energy that had everyone drawn toward her.
And Horizon usually had a presence that could fill any room.
So when they walked into the clearing with her laughing at something he said, it earned an annoyed look from Momo.
An exasperated sigh from Eraser Head.
"Well my Quirk is just a tail, he only gets mad when people aren't optimal or as strong as they could be...I don't have as much wasted potential since it's just a tail," Ojiro shrugs. "It's probably the only benefit to my Quirk being so boring, Horizon just ignores it."
Later while everyone is eating, Horizon is sitting with his usual people.
Sero, Momo, Jiro, and Tokoyami. But this time Kodai was beside Sero silently enjoying her dinner.
At the far side of the clearing Deku, Shinso, Uraraka, and Todoroki are eating together with a few others from class 1B.
"So you literally caught the building," Sero says in amazement as Horizon shows them his 'Yay!' profile, catching them all up on what happened since they started camp.
"Yeah, it's been a long few weeks. There were a lot of small time cases between Stain and the Nomu attack, then there was the warehouse of Trigger."
"I guess you really didn't need this camp huh."
"I'm mostly just here to train those two, and some fresh air is nice. We've got six more days here so I'm gonna try to get some training in too of course."
"Always striving to improve," Momo says as she finishes her food. "As one could expect from Horizon."
"Well my journey to being the #1 Pro Hero has already begun, no time to slack off now."
"I thought you said you didn't care about rank," Jiro says, finally speaking to him. Then immediately goes back to her food, trying to ignore him once more.
"Things have changed, that rank is useful. And honestly, where else would I be if not #1...the other spots just don't fit me," he shrugs.
After some more light chatter and everyone filling him in on how their camp experience is going, dinner is finally done and everyone starts packing up. Washing their dishes and heading inside to get cleaned up and enjoy the hot springs.
Yet as Horizon is sitting outside and scrolling through his phone, one person takes the seat opposite him.
"Shouldn't you be with the other girls," he looks up from his phone to see Kendo sitting across from him, her knuckles bloody and bandaged from today's training.
"I just wanted to talk to you, what? Can't I just talk to you?"
"Here to confess your boundless love for me, already?"
Kendo rolls her eyes, "you really aren't my type, maybe if you weren't such a jerk to almost everyone around you, but I just want to talk about something like that..."
"Did Sero finally tell Kodai he likes her?"
"No, he's still being all shy about it. All the girls already know, including her, so she's just waiting. But I'm here to talk about the other two..."
"Oh, that," Horizon puts down his phone to give her his full attention. "What about them?"
"Well since all the girls share one room here...it came out pretty quickly with who likes you, and now the other girls know that they like you."
"Still? Was what I said at the pool not enough? I really don't have time for any serious relationship stuff..."
"Trust me, we've tried more than a few nights to talk them out of it, but Momo thinks you're some kind of perfect faultless god---"
"Accurate."
Kendo stops and gives him an annoyed look, "and Jiro says she's over you... the poor girl is so deep in denial it's drowning her."
"What does this have to do with me?"
Kendo sighs, giving him a pleading look, "honestly, I don't think this will stop until it either blows up in their face or they get what they want...or whatever compromise you all make. But I'm just asking, as a friend, we're friends right?"
"I've never really had friends my age before...but I think we're close to it."
Kendo looks a bit saddened at that, "well, as your friend, because we are friends, please don't hurt them. Because Momo and Jiro are my friends too, alright?"
"Yeah, however this plays out, I'll be nice about it."
"Thank you," Kendo gives a polite nod and stands up to leave.
As she leaves Horizon returns to his phone, "teenage romance bullshit, like I have time to focus on that, I've got villains to hunt..."
