My Hero Academia: Killer Quirk!! - Chapter 114

Many days had passed since Aiden’s promise to Mirio. During that time he had used the money he’d gotten from Christina to buy Eri some new clothes and toys. He also made sure to keep up with his training. His fight with Overhaul allowed him to understand just how overwhelming and volatile his astral energy was. Ever since he came out of the dreamworld and had gotten over his trauma, something inside of him had definitely changed. And while he wasn’t completely sure what it was from an emotional point of view, he knew for a fact that the amount of astral energy he was able to use had significantly increased. But while the amount may have increased, his control seemed to have decreased by quite a bit. In fact, during the fight with Chisaki he wasn’t completely able to control the output of his attacks, if it wasn’t for Eri continuously resetting his body until he got the right power output, he would probably have had to retreat.

He was actually quite lucky that he was able to take out Chisaki’s men without suffering any problems. He theorized that the longer he used his astral energy the more unstable it would become. The drawn out fight with Chisaki seemed to prove his hypothesis correct.

That’s why he had to retrain himself to control his own power. It also served as a good opportunity for him to test out his new construction abilities.

Sitting in a lotus position, Aiden was covered in a light purple aura and was levitating off the floor.

Focusing on the energy flowing throughout his body, he let it escape through his pores and shaped it onto his skin.

*Releasing a breath*

Purple light coated his entire figure as the astral energy fused with his skin and caused him to glow a soft purple color. To his surprise, he found that his astral energy was starting to move on its own and infused itself into his clothes.

[A/n: Imagine chakra cloak.]

‘This feeling… its incredible…’

Just as he was about delve deeper into this new feeling, his phone suddenly rang and broke his concentration.

‘Fuck!’

Ending his training, he floated back down and picked up the phone.

“Hello?”

“Ah! Aiden-san! Its Nejire Hado, you remember me right? We met at the Overhaul hero meeting. Hmm… there were a lot of people there so you might not remember me… OH! I know! Last week you called me a airhead at lunch! Do you remember me now? I’m friends with Togata and Amajiki-san? I took 2 of your classmates with me for the agency prog-

“I remember you. Why are you calling?”

“Oh? Well I was thinking about your fight with Mirio the other day, and I wondered what it’d be like to fight the guy who beat him. So I asked Uraraka chan if she could get me your number. She said she didn’t have it but could get it off that pink girl with the horns.”

‘Dammit Mina!’

“So you’re calling me because you want to fight?”

“YES!!”

“…” Hanging up the phone, Aiden was about to go back to meditating when a sudden thought occured to him.

‘Wouldn’t this be a great way to test my control?’

Picking his phone back up, he redialed Nejire’s number and waited for her to pick up.

“Moshi moshi?”

‘…Who answers the phone like that?’

“*Sigh* Its Aiden…”

“Oh? Hey Aiden! You suddenly cut off, I thought there was something wrong with your phone.”

“Yeah… bad signal, anyway, I agree to your proposition.”

“My what?”

“I’ll do the fight.

—

Standing in training zone Gamma, Midnight looked at the two combatants.

Wearing her hero costume, Nejire stood with Mirio and Tamaki.

“Are you sure about this?” Tamaki asked with uncertainty. “He beat Mirio afterall.”

Hearing this, Nejire couldn’t help but smile widely.

“That’s exactly why I have to fight him. Think about how fun it’d be to fight the guy who beat Togata-san.”

“*Sigh* Please say something to her.” Tamaki turned to look at Mirio.

“Of course!” Mirio nodded before giving Nejire a thumbs up. “Go get him!”

Grinning widely, Nejire hyped herself up and prepared to fight Aiden.

Seeing that Nejire and the rest of the big three were having a conversation, Midnight took the opportunity to talk to Aiden.

“You’re gonna do what you promised right?”

“…I’m a man of my word.”

“A man…” Looking at him up and down, Midnight licked her lips coyly.

So here he was, standing in his hero costume talking to a woman who got off to being degraded and beaten.

‘*Sigh* What the hell happened to my life…’

Seeing that Aiden no longer wanted to speak to her, Midnight brought Nejire over and went over the rules with the both of them.

“Understand?”

Seeing that both of them nodded their heads, she sent them to their own corners and initiated the fight by blowing her whistle.

“START!!”

—

Just like Aiden predicted, Nejire activated her quirk and took to the air. Knowing that the information that the big three had on him only went up to the sports festival and his fight with Mirio, they were at a severe disadvantage.

‘Time to test this out.’

“What the!”

“Since when could he do that?”

Unlike Mirio and Tamaki who were incredibly surprised, Nejire couldn’t stop smiling as she found Aiden’s wings both beautiful and fascinating.

“Amazing…”

Bursting through the air at breakneck speed, Aiden approached the air borne Nejire with a resolute look on his face.

Seeing this, Nejire stretched her arms out and released two powerful wave shockwaves.

Smiling at her attempt to hit him, Aiden constructed a purple foothold under his left foot. Kicking off of it, he changed his trajectory and avoided the attack before creating another one under his right foot and charging back at her.

“AMAZING!!” Despite seeing her attack fail, Nejire wasn’t disheartened in the slightest, in fact she was feeling excited.

“Try this on for size!”

Knowing that her wave attacks weren’t exactly fast, she condensed the size of her wave spirals in to smaller parts in order to increase its speed.

“FIRE!!”
