The remedial course students fell into their beds at around two in the morning but their night was incredibly short. At around six, the door to Cabin three, where the feral alphas were, was opened. “Aye, get the fuck up, we have a lot to do, everyone get your asses out of the bed!” Kairi yelled at them.
Izuku fell almost out of his bed when she kicked against it. “Wha-?” he blinked in confusion.
“Be ready in five minutes! Get a move on!” with that she walked out of the cabin to go to cabin seven where the rest of the alphas were. They got the same treatment.
“I am so tired! I want to sleep!” Eijiro whined.
“Why do we all have to be awake? It’s not even seven!” Tetsutetsu asked while yawning.
“Quit your whining. We have a very tough time table.” Kairi growled. “Now do what you must to get warmed up!” She ushered them out to the training grounds. Even Tenya did not have the energy to say something.
“Why are we punished like that? We passed the exam?” Juzo asked.
“Punished? I give a damn about your exams. It’s not my problem when you go to bed so late. Be thankful that I didn’t wake you up at my normal time.” She growled.
“Do I want to know what her normal time is?” Hitoshi asked.
“Probably not” Shoto yawned.
“How about we start with some push ups? Come, come, everyone on the ground!” Much to their surprise she got into position as well.
“You’re training with us?” Izuku asked.
“Of course, what instructor would I be if I can’t do, what I am asking of you? A damn terrible one. Besides, training is good! At the end of the day, you want to be exhausted. You’ll see why.”
The students grumbled a little while they continued. After push ups they did some stretching, sit ups and pull ups, they used some thicker tree branches. They were again stretching, when the others finally showed up. They looked sleepy as well, even though they had an hour more of sleep.
“Woah, you already are training?” Denki mumbled sleepily.
“Yes, we got woken up by this lovely lady over there” Hitoshi pointed towards Kairi, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
“That sucks” Denki eyed her carefully. Yawning, he made his way over to his group.
Hitoshi looked after him, he sighed and returned back to the training. He got a strange look from Kairi. “Okay, now team up and we have some fights.” Kairi ordered them.
The alphas obliged and teamed up, they fought all simultaneously against their partner, while Kairi watched them.
The training started for the betas and omegas as well. For now they were training together. Most of them were so happy, to not be an alpha at the moment. Aizawa, a very tense Present Mic, Hound Dog and Vlad King watched their training. The twin boys were no where to be seen.
They too had warm up training and then some fights, before they continued to strengthen their quirks.
By early noon it was time for their break, all were soaking wet with sweat. The betas and omegas had plenty of time to prepare their food, but the alphas didn’t.
“You got an hour to get the food ready. Take as much as you need. We won’t come back until the night.”
They weren’t too excited while preparing their food. They wondered how it would go.
The more time passed, the more nervous Denki became. He fidgeted with Mashirao’s tail at the moment, he was literally vibrating. “Hey, what’s the matter?” the beta asked. Denki hugged the tail closer to his chest.
“Just nervous. I wonder how it will be.”
“Hey, you can do it! And if not, you can always ask them to stop. I mean you go to therapy for this, so … I don’t know, this might be a good enough reason to not put you through this.” He tried to cheer him up.
“I guess we’ll have to see.” He leaned his chin on the fluffy part of Mashirao’s tail.
Katsuki was again surrounded by Ochako and Mina, they became increasingly more nervous the more time passed.
They tried to be in a positive mood, they tried to make jokes, but the sick feeling in their stomachs wouldn’t cease.
And then it was time. Ian and Jesper showed up, they came out of the woods and they looked a little bit roughed up. “Hello, everyone. Please line up so we can get started.” Ian said. They did as he asked, the betas went with him, and the omegas with his brother.
Aizawa and Cait walked over as well. And at least Aizawa had a deep frown on his face. “Well, what are we going to do now?” Ian started. “You need to build up your resistance towards alpha commands. You need to strengthen your willpower, you actively need to work against the command.”
He looked over to Aizawa, the teacher cleared his throat. “It is very hard to do. The only way to achieve that is to try and try and try it again. It took me about six months to get used to it.”
Six months? The students stared at him. “Of course, everyone is different. Some people get faster used to it, some take longer. It helps a lot if the alpha you’re doing that with, is familiar to you. We don’t expect you to fully master it, but I hope we can give you at least the idea of what to do in the case of an alpha command.”
“Is there anyone who wants to go first?” Ian asked. No one wanted to do it at first, but then Katsuki raised his hand. His jaw was clenched and his body was tense but he would do it.
“Bring it on then.” He growled. Jesper moved forward.
“Okay, I’m not going full power at first. We’ll start slowly.”
“Pah, whatever. You think I can’t handle that? I show you, you’re wrong!” he snarled.
Jesper chuckled, Ian had a big grin on his face too. “Alright, then I’ll start now.” Jesper focused. “Come over here!” Katsuki could feel the pressure he was emitting. He really tried to resist it, but within seconds, his mind went black and he did as commanded. He walked over to Jesper, after that, the command stopped and he blinked multiple times. A shiver ran through his whole body. Jesper looked at him. “You good?”
Katsuki nodded, his breathing was a bit uneven. “I’m good.”
“It’s hard isn’t it?”
“Fucking hell it is. What do you think?” Katsuki growled he looked up to the alpha.
“I know how it feels to be alpha commanded. So I completely understand the struggle. It took me about four months to resist.” Jesper mentioned.
“Pah, weak. I’m gonna beat that time! I’ll get it much faster!” Katsuki challenged him.
Jesper raised his eyebrow. “Good luck then, I like to see you try.”
“Go on then. Do it again!” Katsuki tried to build himself up in front of Jesper, but the height difference was just too massive.
“Alright. Go over to my brother” he commanded. And Katsuki did. He really struggled and Jesper could feel it, but the command was too strong. He stood next to Ian in no time.
“Are you okay?” the prime asked.
“I already said it! I am fucking fine!” he yelled.
“You know, it can be quite good when you’re angry. Anger helps a lot in this. It can work against the command.”
“But everyone has their own trigger, to get out. Some need to be calm and focused, some get out with anger. Some can resist when they are very agitated. It really depends. You need to focus on something that grounds you. That can snap you back into reality.” Aizawa intervened.
“Got it. Then I’ll be angry. C’mon, again!” he growled.
Jasper grinned. “Come to me!” This time he could feel the struggle even more. Katsuki was really trying his best.
The others watched with great interest and some with shock. They were all glad that Katsuki volunteered. They hoped they wouldn’t have to go through that. But Ian broke the illusion for the betas. “And we will do the same now. C’mon, let’s move a bit over here.”
Not really enthusiastic, they followed him. Kendo volunteered this time. She knew that someone had to go first.
Katsuki still struggled but eventually he stood next to Jesper again. “Again! Still not good enough.” He shouted.
“My, you are really insatiable, am I right? Okay, since I don’t want to deprive the others of the training, I will use a crowed control command. It’s a bit weaker than a pure alpha command, but I can control everyone at the same time. But this might be a good thing for you, so you can learn it easier to escape.” Jesper explained.
The others braced themselves. “Don’t give me this shit. I want to get free out of a normal alpha command!” Katsuki snarled.
“Hush, omega! You will, but you’re not the only one here. Learn to behave” Jesper said with alpha authority.
Katsuki snarled. “No! Now get it on!”
Jesper shook his head in amusement. He then focused on the group of omegas. “Don’t move.” He commanded. In normal voice he said. “Try to break free from that.”
Ochako felt the numbness of the command. It felt like her mind was trapped in a void, it made her skin crawl. She didn’t want to disobey, but she knew she had too. But how could she struggle against an alpha? She would disappoint him. No, she couldn’t do that …
“Raaaar!” a loud roar appeared next to her it was scary.
“I fucking told you, this will not be enough! Give me the real alpha commands!” Katsuki hissed.
Ochako’s mind became clear for a second. With that she managed to break free. She was breathing heavily. Cold sweat covered her body, and she felt bad, bad for disobeying.
“Alright … I underestimated you. You got fire” Jesper praised. “Okay, then I’ll try to split focus.” His eyes started to glow yellow. “Prepare yourself.”
Katsuki clenched his jaw again and nodded.
