My Hero Academia: Killer Quirk!! - Chapter 116

*Sigh* Why do I feel like I’m whoring myself?’

Leaving Midnight’s house early in the morning, Aiden left the district with a heavy heart. After several hours of learning how to tie several different types of knots, effectively use a whip and understand the restrictions that came with wearing a latex suit, Midnight was no longer able to keep it in her pants and tried to jump him. Luckily for him, his prowess in the bedroom far surpassed that of this R-rated hero. By the time he was finished with her, she was speaking the language of the old gods.

Shaking his head, he constructed a pair of purple wings on his back and took to the skies. Since he had a provisional hero license he might as well take advantage of some of its benefits. One of those being able to use his quirk in public.

Feeling the wind brush against his face, he watched as the sun slowly rose in the distance. Looking to his left, he saw a herd of birds flying north. Coupled with the silence of early morning Japan, Aiden felt a weird sense of serenity.

‘Is this why people wish they could fly?’

Flying further up into the air, he passed through a thick layer of clouds and felt his eyes widen at the sight in front of him.

‘Beautiful…’

Not being someone who knew a lot about art, the scene in front of him could only be described as beautiful. Looking into the distant horizon and seeing a near limitless landscape of blue sky left him feeling breathless.

After living the kind of life he had, who would have ever imagined that he’d be soaring above the clouds and seeing a scene that would leave others feeling envious. Its actually kind of funny. A little over a year ago he was a traumatized brat who hunted heroes and villains alike without rest. And while the hunting part may not have changed, he now had people looking at him with admiration and respect. Although his friends and family were gone, he no longer felt that pit of despair inside of himself, for the first time in his life… he was looking forward to the future.

“So what did you guys decide?”

Standing in the classroom with Momo and the rest of 1-A, Aiden went over the festival preparations with his second in command.

“Ahem.” Momo pull out a small stack of papers and handed them over to him.

By the time they were done, Aiden had a grasp on how they wanted everything to staged. He was also surprised by the fact that they included him as a dancer. According to Mina, because he was American and was half black, they ȧssumed he was a natural dancer.

He didn’t know whether to feel offended or not…

Shaking his head, he crossed his name out and put himself down for being part of the staging team.

Seeing that his presence was no longer needed, he decided to leave the classroom and roam the school.

Quietly leaving the area, he strolled around leisurely until he ran into a ginger annoyance.

“Aiden!” Kendo shouted after seeing him.

Pretending that he couldn’t hear her, Aiden turned around and prepared to leave… Unfortunately someone was behind him.

“Aiden!!” A short blonde haired girl yelled in English.

‘Fuck me…’

“Hey Pony…” He said through a strained smile.

“Aiden!!” Kendo finally caught up.

—

“So what are you guys doing for the festival?” Having no place to run to, Aiden decided to humor the two girls until he found an exit.

Hearing that question, all of Kendo’s excitement seemed to deflate as an air of gloominess surrounded her.

“Class 1-B’s doing an original play…”

“Yeah! Monoma said that its going to be like Romeo and Juliet meets the Prisoner of Azkaban meets Return of the King!” Pony could bȧrėly hold back her excitement.

“Cool…” Seeing that Kendo wasn’t as energetic as Pony, Aiden asked her what was wrong.

“I’m in the beauty contest…”

“Beauty contest?” Looking at her up and down, Aiden could confidently say that while she may not be his type, he could understand why other people would like her.

“So what’s the problem?” He asked.

“I don’t want to enter…”

“Oh…” Seeing that this conversation was becoming depressing, he changed the subject hoping to find a way out. But before he could do that, Pony asked him something absurd.

“You’re going to come see our play right?”

—

After finding a way to answer Pony’s question without giving a real answer, Aiden finally managed to escape and make his way back inside the building. Considering that he didn’t really know anyone else, he thought that he could just walk through the corridors at his own pace.

“Aiden-san!!” Someone suddenly called out.

‘Are you fu*king kidding me!’

Spinning around, he was surprised to see the bright smile of one Togata Mirio.

“Mirio?” He said in surprise.

“Haha, I knew it was you.” Mirio laughed and looked at his hair.

Furrowing his brows, Aiden started to debate whether or not he should dye his hair to black.

“Wassup senpai.” He said trying to sound casual. “What are you doing here?”

“Me? I’m helping Hadou with the beauty contest.”

“Nejire?”

—

“Hey, Hey Aiden!!”

Wearing a dress and floating in the air, Nejire greeted him with her usual energetic personality.

“Hey Nejire-san.” He replied while looking around the room.

Dropping down from the sky, she went over and grabbed onto his hands while pulling him in close.

“Are you here to fly again? How high do you want to go? Should we go higher than the clouds or aim for space? *Gasp* Do you want to race!!?”

“Ahem, he’s actually just here to visit.” Mirio spoke up.

“Really?” She tilted her head to the side.

“Yeah… Mirio said you were the runner up in last year’s beauty contest.” Similar to Kendo, he gave her a look over and evaluated her in his head. Based on appearance alone, it was kind of hard to believe that there was someone better looking than her in the school.

“Get this! Are you listening? I’m sure you are. So every year I fall short of winning because there’s this really amazing girl that keeps getting in my way.”

“Uh huh.” He nodded before putting his brain on auto pilot.
