Next day.
The training was the same, but they decided to add in a special treat for the students.
"Ahh~" Albert relaxed in the hot springs.
"Yo!!" Mirko shouted from the other side. "After this you wanna go again?"
"Hmm… might as well."
"Not a fan of horror?"
"Not a fan of walking in the woods and trying to get scared by other people. If I wanna get scared I'd do something stupid with no return."
"Hahaha!! Very true! Nothing gets the heart beating then a possible mistake that could cost you your life and wellbeing!"
"___" Albert had to question what kind of life did Mirko have to agree with him so wholeheartedly.
After the bath Albert got dressed in some comfortable clothing.
"Hmm!!" he stretches.
"I'm ready when you are." Mirko also said stretching.
They were gonna fight again. Albert was really enjoying himself fighting Mirko. She was a excellent fighter who seems to get better each time they cross fists and legs.
"Let's—wait a moment?" Albert sniffs the air.
"Something wrong?"
He caught the scent of burning and something else mixed into the air, it's very faint but it's something he has smelled before.
"… A fire? Mirko!!" Albert gets into a firm stance.
"Hm!"
Mirko quickly jumped and with Albert's help she was sent high into the air.
Whoosh!!
Whoosh!!
Seeing the whole area from above she could see a clouds of passing smoke and a fire.
"Albert!!!!" she shouted. "Fire!!! And a fog is rolling in from the west!!!"
"I'll go tell the others!!" Albert shouted. "We need to—!?" it was his instinct that told Albert to dodged, NOW!
Slither!!
Yet the attack struck quicker then he could react. Theories and ideas on who this was came to mind fast.
Grab!!
"Oh shit!?"
It grabbed his leg and held up before swinging into the dorm.
Throw!
Whoosh!!!
Crash!!!
Rumble!!!
"ALBERT!!!" Mirko shouted.
She looked to see several serpents cut through the darkness, coming at Mirko.
"You damn bastards!!!"
She swung her foot down as one approached and used that momentum to get on the snakes back and run along it.
Several more serpents sprung up coming at Mirko.
"YOU THINK THESE WEAK ASS SNAKES CAN TAKE ME!!!!"
Inside the dorm, Albert's eyes fade in and out for a few moments before collecting himself.
"God… damn. Hm!" he removes himself from the wall and took a second to center himself.
Crumble!!
The wall behind him crumbles leaving an opening.
"… Mel."
"Albert! I'm sorry but I couldn't detect them! They must have a skill or something to hide themselves!" Mélusine said in her spiritual form.
"Damn… You know what to do. If need be say your master is All Might, full name Toshinori Yagi. Hm?" He felt some pain in his back. "Am I bleeding?"
"You have cuts and gashes."
"Grrr…" Albert got in a bad mood. "When you get here blow the dorm up. I don't want my blood anywhere." Albert moves to his room where his stuff is, his wounds quickly heal.
"I'll soon get here." She quickly left.
Albert goes into his room and gets out a satellite phone.
'Bit extra but one can never be too careful with nature.'
He quickly calls the emergency number.
"Hello, we are at XXXXX Latitude, XXXXX Longitude, I am a student at U.A. and villains are attacking the training camp, please send help immediately." Albert said calmly.
"Understood!! Help is on the way!! Please remain on the—Click!"
Albert ends the call and thinks for a second.
"I will probably get more hurt this night…" He calls his Handler. "Sir there is a villain attack at the camp."
"Really? Damn, bad luck."
"I am currently healing but I fear much like Hosu I may leave my DNA around during the fight."
"Understood, we will begin to mobilize. We will handle the mess here, but you know there is a limit to how much we can cover."
"I understand. I will do my best to make your job easier. I also already called the authorities and helps should be on the way."
"Understood. We will slip in with them. Click!"
"Haaa…" Albert took a long breath and tossed the phone away.
He removes his bloody shirt and tosses it to the ground. Walking over to a wall a puts his hands through it.
"Hr!"
Crash!!
He removed a long metal pipe from it.
"I'll fucking bash that snakes head in. <
His body coursed with energy. The metal pipe had circuits flow into it.
"Reinforcement is such useful skill."
Albert of course experimented the use of mana, with some suggestions from Mélusine, any injury he acquired was something that couldn't harm him. His Quirk healed him back to perfect health. In his experiments he did the most basic of things and inject his mana into an object. At first it was rough, pitiful, making a strong object rather brittle upon a strong substance, hence why the katana Momo made broke against Saber's skin. Albeit it would have broken regardless but it could have took another swing in a half before it broke. But the more he practiced the better he got.
Tap~
Tap~
Looking out into the woods Mirko lands next to him.
Thud!!
"Huff!! Huff!! Careful. She's as annoying as that guy with the glowing chest." She said with scraps and cuts.
"I called for help."
"You got a signal all the way out here?"
"Satellite phone. It was pricy but given where we were going out into I wanted a connection to the world in case of an emergency, like now."
Thud~
Thud~
Thud~
Walking out of the woods was Avenger. Her appearance made Albert and Mirko nervous.
"Oh." Upon seeing her, Albert knew she was a servant and she held a presence similar to Siegfried and Mélusine, but far more similar to Mélusine.
She had a stark difference to him—humanity, and her. While he felt it when he met Mélusine she had a sort of ephemeralness to her, like a lonely diamond in the sky. For Avenger she was like an ever growing corruption that feasts on man like a beast, a demon—no, an infection made sentient.
"I can finally meet you, Albert Hiroyuki." She said in a refined, calm manner.
"… Could I get a name? I feel I at least deserve that after getting thrown through a building."
'Who is she!? What is her true name!? There is only one I can think of, and I do not want it to be true.'
"Hm." She smirks. "I am Avenger. I have come for you, Albert."
'Avenger!? W-what the fuck is that class!? Is that an alias like Mel using Lancelot!? Damn!'
Albert needed to be cautions of how to go about this, albeit caution is already out the window.
"Well aren't I the popular girl in class. Sorry but as much as you are attractive you are too much woman for me to handle."
"Heh." She got a short chuckle out of it. "Your good with your mouth but your eyes are quiet bad. What part of me is a woman?" She tilts her head slightly and her snake hair came to move around.
"Enough of you."
Avenger smirked unintentionally from his brazen answer.
"You think a man would try their luck with me?"
"Men have sticked their dick in worse. Why do you think bestiality is a thing? Or any of the Greek mythologies a thing if not people and gods fucking animals?"
"Even more true." She slightly grins at his reply.
"Albert." Mirko said under her breath. "I got my breath back, I'm ready when you are."
Avenger walked closer.
"Then why don't you come closer and let me give you a kiss." She licked her lips with her arms out, her tail at the end of her spine struck the earth and she leap over in a t-pose position.
"Pincer!!!" Albert shouted.
Crack!!!
Crack!!!
They both break the earth running.
The serpents strike at them, but they easily dart around them leap at Avenger as she was about to touch the ground. But like how she leapt before her tail struck the earth.
CRACK!!
She went up horizontally.
Albert and Mirko bent their knees and landed on each other's feet.
"Hm!!" Mirko pulled her head back so Albert could be on top of her. "GOOO!!!" She shouted while kicked him up.
At the zenith of her kick Albert kicked off her feet.
Thud!!!
Mirko shot down while Albert shot up to grab Avenger's legs.
"!?" Avenger knew what was gonna happen next, she saw what he did to Siegfried.
"MEET THE—GAH!?!?"
"Do you think I will have you slam like you did Saber!?" She shouted, assaulted by the thought Albert doing it to her. "But thank you for coming, I said I would give you a kiss."
Her snakes had bitten Albert's back. Injecting in him with a venom.
[Ding! You have been afflicted with Avenger's Venom! Poison Tolerance has been pushed past it's limits and ranked up into Poison Immunity! Poison Immunity has neutralized Avenger's Venom!]
'Goddamn!?' Albert was very surprised.
"Albert!!" Mirko shouted from the ground.
"Grrr!!! To fucking bad!!!" he shouted with gritted teeth. "I HAD SHITTY PEOPLE IN MY LIFE!!!!"
Albert was practically immune to any kind of poison; the bite, however, was very painful like two butcher knives to the back. But he has felt worse. This was child's play for him.
With no hesitation they were gonna go for the kill if he and Mirko were gonna survive.
"HAAAA!!!!"
"?!?!?!?"
As he pulled her down he swung with so much force the two of them spun in the air.
WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH-WHOOSH!!!!!!
"Urgh!?!?" For Avenger it was nauseating, extremely, her brain was never meant to experience this nor did they expect this.
"MIRKO!!! GO FOR THE KILL!!!"
Mirko did not question his judgment for she felt the same. There is no way out for them and thinking they could take her down and be arrested was a pipe dream. She will take the consequences if it meant Albert and the other students can make it out.
"<
Mirko shot—brute forces her way through the air, she kicked with a fire-licked foot.
Avenger could easily stop this but that would mean she wasn't confused on what was up and down.
THUUUUUD!!!!!
Mirko struck her right on the chin, full contact.
"*?*?*?" The kick rung her head viciously, had she not been a servant her head would have been kicked clean off.
She could have dematerialized, but her pride will not allow it, to do that is to say she wasn't enough, that she withdrew from the fight.
Whoosh~!!
Falling to the earth Avenger will repay them for this.
"YOU FILTHY HEROES!!! I PLAYED WITH YOU ALL ENOUGH!!!"
"!?!?!"
Her snakes jet out and grab Mirko's leg.
"GRR!" Mirko gritted her teeth as she pushed past the pain.
The hero and her intern are quickly bashed into the ground.
CRASH!!!!!
CRASH!!!!!
"GAH!?!?"
Thud!!!
"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!" She screams out, venting out her anger. "I can see why you gave Saber so much damn trouble. I can hardly blame him for having to deal with you two." She tilts her head down and her blindfold falls off, landing between the two.
Ting~
"!?" They see her eyes, beautiful, as if they were gifts from the gods.
"Damn… maybe I will take that kiss with those eyes." Albert said with his stomach to the ground, pinned down, gazing at her from his peripherals. "Not those snake hairs but one from your human lips."
"How about a little love bite—!?" Her head shoots to the side. "… No."
Albert and Mirko could feel it. That bloodlust, that presence.
Whoo__!
Floating overhead, slowly descending Mélusine makes her appearance in full armor.
"My master has sent me!" She said out loud. "I am Lancer!"
"Lancer… Hm. Saber was right, you smell of a Phantasmal Species, yet I can't really call you a dragon, you are far too impure..." Avenger's eyes narrow on her.
Clench~
Mélusine clenches her fists in anger.
"Says a giant danger noodle."
"Pfft!" Both Albert and Mirko stopped themselves from laughing.
"Grrr!!! I will save you two for later. This is more pressing."
Her serpents move and throw them far off to the side, not caring about their health as they bash through trees.
Crash!!!
Crash!!!
Avenger and Lancer have now finally met.
They both look at one another and with anger staining their expressions they readied their armaments.
Mélusine draws her spears.
SHING-SHING!!!
Avenger readies her serpents with a gleam in their eyes.
SLITHER-SHIIING!!!
In a brief moment the sea of trees became a battlefield of stone and destruction.
