Chapter 45
Because this is a fanfic, and I can, I'm going to be changed a few things up to fit the story, so these parts will not follow the original plot line!

The next day Akina was headed to the forest only to be stopped by Aizawa's scarf wrapping around her and pulling her back.
"Aizawa, what are you doing? I wanna go train." Akina said, looking at her teacher.
"You're not going to be doing your own training today. After yesterday I decided to figure out something you need to improve upon."
"Yeah, and what's that?"
"This." Aizawa said, dragging Akina over to what looked to be some kind of flat circular disc with walls that reached Akina's shoulders.
"What is this thing?"
Aizawa opened the door and shoved Akina in before closing it behind her. "You'll see." He grinned and pressed a button on a remote, immediately the platform she was on started to sway side to side, a wave of nausea rolled over her and her legs immediately went weak.
"I do admit you have the strength to be a good pro, but if you want to succeed in your future you must learn to overcome your weaknesses. In this case, your motion sickness. For the rest of the day you'll be working on not hurling. Good luck." The last thing Akina saw of him was a wide grin, before he turned and walked away.
"Aizawa wait- urp- This isn't something I can't... get rid of!" she called out, her head starting to spin.
"That's what you believe. Get in the proper mindset and you'll be able to overcome it."
"Aizawa... please... you don't understand." Akina begged, only to feel the platform speed up. She held tightly onto the railing to stay standing, but she knew at any minute she would be crumpled on the bottom of the platform, asking for someone to end her suffering using any means possible.
"More importantly," Pixie-bob's voice said from the main training area, though it was distant as Akina tried to force back another wave of nausea. "tonight's gonna be fun! We're pitting classes against each other in a test of courage. I know you've been training hard today. And later you'll get to play hard! How's that for a reward?"
Normally Akina would get excited at that announcement, but at the moment she was too focused on trying not to hurl out her breakfast.

"I'm not hungry." Akina said, looking at the plate of food in front of her. After being on that hell trap all day, Akina's stomach was still doing flips and she had absolutely no apatite.
"Woah. You okay Aki?" Mina asked, "It's not like you to not be hungry."
"I've never met anyone with motion sickness as intense as yours." Jiro said. "You're looking really pale."
"It comes with the quirk." Akina muttered.
"What a lame ass drawback." Bakugo said, a smirk on his face.
"Bakugo... Please, not right now." Akina muttered, placing her head down on the table. "I'll be fine in a few minutes. Just let me suffer for now." Akina felt a hand pat her on the back. "If Erza were here she would of knocked me out... and Wendy could of used Troia..." She muttered, completely oblivious to the looks she got from the other students who heard her.

That night after dinner, everyone gathered in a nearby clearing in front of some kind of forest path, and Akina had finally recovered from the heavy nausea that had been plaguing her since this morning.
"Perfect. We've filled out bellies and cleaned the dishes." Pixie-Bob said, "It's time for..."
"A totally awesome test of courage!" Mina exclaimed, cutting the pro hero off.
"We're gonna win!" Kirishima, Sero, Kaminari, and Sato exclaimed.
"Not so fast." Aizawa said and Akina watched as all of them tensed, "It pains we to say it, but the remedial class will be having lessons with me tonight instead."
"You've gotta be kidding me!" Ashido exclaimed, a look of pain appearing on her face.
Akina watched as Aizawa dragged the group away with his scarf, the students begging him to let them participate in the test of courage. Once they were out of sigh, Pixie-bob continued on with the explanation.
"Okay, so. Class B is going to start out as our 'scarers'. When they're in place, class A will leave in pairs every three minutes. There are tags with your names on them at the far end of the route. Your goal is to collect those."
"Revelry in the Dark." A certain bird headed student said at the end of the explanation.
"Now, those who are scarers aren't allowed to make physical contact. Use your quirks to terrify the others. Got it?"
"The winners are the creative students who make the most people piss their pants!" The fourth member of the pussy cats, Tiger, exclaimed.
"Hell yeah! This is going to be awesome!" Akina cheered. "Man, you all better make sure you're ready because I'm not holding back!"
"All right! Everyone draw to see who your partner will be."
Akina and the rest of the students drew out lots from a box, and started to team up, looking at her number and the numbers of other people, she saw she was paired up with Bakugo. "Looks like we're both in team two, Explodo-kill!" She exclaimed.
"Listen up tail." Bakugo said, going up to Ojiro and pointing towards Akina, "Trade with me."
"What, you don't want to be on a team with me? You scared or something?" Akina asked, placing a hand in front of her mouth and letting out a laugh. "You chicken?"
"What, no way! I'm not scared of some flower freak! Now come on, I'll show you I'm not scared of anything!"
"Sure you aren't." Akina said, walking with Bakugo to the start of the route, where team one had just gone, disappearing in the shadows of the forest.
"Alright! Next up are you two, Explodie and Leafy!" Pixie bob exclaimed and the two of them headed in.
"Let's go test our courage!" Akina exclaimed, moving forwards into the forest.
The two of them encountered a few of the class B groups they were nearing one other group. Akina could smell Kendo and Juzo, she knew there was a third person but she couldn't smell where they were. When her head popped out from the ground Akina couldn't help but let out a small squeak and wrap her arms around Bakugo's arm.
"The hell?! Let go of me!" Bakugo shouted, pushing Akina off his arm as he stomped past Kodai, who's head was still peeking over the earth.
Akina looked at the three before running forwards to catch up, "You didn't have to be so rude, jeez."
"Hah? What did you expect me to do? Let you hang off me like a sloth? Hell no! Besides, how'd you get so scared anyways, can't you like, smell everything."
"Of course I can! But some scents are masked by others, her's was heavily masked by the ground. Right now I can smell the group ahead..." she trailed off as her nose twitched, sure, she could smell where the group ahead was but she could also smell something else, something more than a group of teens waiting to scare the two of them. "Fire. The forest is on fire." Her voice was barely a whisper as she looked ahead of her, seeing a dark cloud of smoke rise up into the sky, a soft blue glow reflecting off the clouds. "And there's something foul smelling behind us, like... poison."
Immediately Akina was on the defense. She moved to the nearest tree and placed her hand on the trunk, a small magic circle appearing. "There are villains attacking the forest," she gritted her teeth and her eyes narrowed, the next words that came out of her mouth almost sounded like a growl, "And one of them is burning it to the ground."
"Everyone!" A voice suddenly called out in Akina's head, much like Warren's telepathy magic, "Two villains attacked us. It's possible there are more coming, everyone return to camp immediately. Do not engage any enemies."
"Bakugo, let's get back to camp." Akina said, once he was back safely, she was going to go after whoever was burning down the forest and was going to make their life a living hell.
"What you scared of a few villains?"
"It's not me I'm worried about, it's you." Akina grabbed his wrist and started to drag him through the forest path, "I could take down any of these guys with ease but you-"
"Will be able to beat them down just as well! Don't underestimate me, extra!"
"Don't call me an extra! Look, Bakugo, I need to get you to safety before anything happens." She tightened her grip and started to drag him through the trees, using the rustling of the leaves to guide her in the darkness. Suddenly the scent of iron hit her nose and she looked towards the left, watching as a familiar iron beam headed straight towards her.
Just before it got to her, she jumped up and stood on a tree branch, watching as a familiar iron-faced man stepped out of the shadows.
"Hey twerp."
