My Hero Academia: Killer Quirk!! - Chapter 115
Instead of dodging the attack like he had previously done so, Aiden activated his shift and passed right through Nejire’s high speed attack.
Similar to the way Overhaul fought, Nejire preferred to use ranged attacks and fight at a distance. But who was her opponent?
Decreasing his own weight, Aiden kept constructing footholds and launching himself towards her by spamming the light step burst technique.
Flying through the air, Nejire did her best to keep her distance while launching a myriad of wave attacks. Not having a lot of experience fighting others capable of flight, Nejire subconsciously used this fight as an opportunity to train her aerial combat skills.
“Slash.”
Constructing a sword out of astral energy, Aiden released a single slash attack at Nejire.
Pushing both her hands forward, she unleashed a large wave attack that neutralize Aiden’s slash.
‘Interesting.’
Seeing that she had managed to defend against one of his attacks, Nejire felt more confident in her ability to fight a mid air opponent. Using this new found confidence, she shot out two more spiral wave attacks.
Pointing his sword at the spiral attack, Aiden did something that surprised everyone watching.
“Pierce.”
Shooting out of the blade of his sword, a straight ray of purple light flew through the middle of the spiral attack.
Missing Nejire by a few inches, a smile dawned on Aiden’s face as he found a way to by pass her spiral attack.
Feeling the pierce attack pass by her, Nejire’s eyes couldn’t help but widen in surprise.
“Amazing!!”
Feeling her blood start to boil, she did something spontaneous.
Looking at the approaching Aiden, she chose to meet him head on instead of running away.
“What is she doing?” Tamaki wondered aloud.
Seeing her approaching Aiden, Mirio couldn’t help but smile. “She’s experimenting.”
Watching her approaching his position, Aiden was surprised by her actions, but didn’t think about it to deeply.
Constructing a second sword in his off hand, he slashed at her once the two met in the air.
Creating a spiral wave on her palms, Nejire ignored the attack and pushed both palms towards the blades.
‘What is she doing?’
Unlike what he expected, the swords didn’t immediately slice through her hands like he thought they would.
‘What the hell?’
Instead, it looked like the spiral waves on her palms were pushing against the swords and forcing them back.
“I BLOCKED IT!!” Nejire shouted in joy.
Frowning at the sight of his attack being blocked, Aiden shifted through Nejire and appeared at her back. Since the two were now back to back, he constructed Catch the hands and used them to grab onto Nejire and activated burst.
*BOOM!!*
“Pah!” Feeling the air being forced out her lungs, Nejires figure shot through the air as the effects of the burst attack settled in.
“How enviable.” Midnight mummered.
Stabilizing herself, Nejire managed to regain her demeanor.
“Not bad…” Aiden mumbled before using Catch these hands to release a six fold Pierce attack.
Seeing this, a dark smile crept onto Aiden’s face.
“Continuous 6 fold Pierce.”
Watching the initial 6 rays turn into countless rays of purple light, a feeling of helplessness emerged inside Nejire’s ċhėst.
‘Have I lost?’
“NEJIRE!!” Mirio yelled.
“Huh.” She turned her head to look at the ant-like Mirio.
“DON’T GIVE UP!!”
“Don’t give up… Okay!!”
Putting her game face on, Nejire condensed her spiral waves on her palms and spammed them at the oncoming rain of purple rays.
*BANG!!*
*BANG!!*
*BANG!!*
*BANG!!*
*BANG!!*
‘She actually managed to intercept them…’
Watching the condensed spirals clash with his continuous six fold pierce, Aiden couldn’t help but feel impressed by her ability to adapt to the situation. While he wasn’t going all out and was using this spar as a means to practice, he couldn’t help but praise her.
Releasing condensed spiral wave attacks, Nejire moved through the sky like a fish in water. For the attacks that her spirals weren’t able to intercept, she made sure that she was moving around in order to evade any stray shots.
“I’M DOING IT!!” Nejire yelled feeling more confident by the minute.
‘I guess its time to end this charade…’
Deconstructing the two swords in his hands, the 6 fold attack suddenly turned into the 4 fold attack as Catch these hands kept on firing.
Focusing his energy, Aiden constructed the bow he used against Overhaul. Controlling the power output, he pulled the string back and watched as a condensed pierce attack materialized on the bow.
Activating astral vision, he enhanced his eye sight until his eyes locked onto Nejire’s figure.
Letting the string loose, he watched the pierce attack broke through the rain of 4 fold pierce attacks and struck Nejire’s left shoulder.
—
Felling a dull pain emerge on her shoulder, Nejire watched as the rain of pierce attacks suddenly vanished from sight.
“What? Why!?” Not knowing why the barrage of pierce attacks had just ended, she had no choice but to question what she was seeing.
“You lost.”
Turning her head to the side, she was surprised to see her opponent flying next to her.
“I lost?”
“Yeah.” He nodded and pointed at her left shoulder. “You lost.”
While not understanding what he meant by that, she understood that he was the cause of the dull pain on her left shoulder.
—
“Brilliant!!” Mirio moved in on Aiden for a hug. “Absolutely brilliant!!”
Watching a less than energetic Nejire descend from the sky, Tamaki left Mirio’s side and went over to talk to her.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah.” She nodded and put on her best smile. “I really thought I could have pulled it off.”
Seeing that she lacked her usual enthusiasm, Tamaki did his best to comfort her.
“…You did good…”
“Thanks.”
“Ahem!” Midnight coughed aloud. “Aiden, its time.”
“*Sigh*” Shifting out of Mirio’s hug, Aiden bid the big three goodbye and prepared himself to fulfill his part of the deal.
“Aiden!” Nejire suddenly called out his name.
“Hmm?” He turned to look at her. “Yeah?”
“Lets fly together again!”
“Don’t you mean fight?”
“Nope! Bye!!”
