My Hero Academia: Killer Quirk!! - Chapter 118

The day of the cultural festival had finally arrived. Leaving early with Christina, the two took a taxi to the hospital and picked up little Eri.

“Yo.” He walked into the hospital room and waved.

“Aiden!”

Seeing her hero smiling at her, the small child couldn’t help but jump into his arms.

“Its good to see you to.” He smiled and picked her up.

Standing behind him, Christina stood dumbfounded at the actions of the person in front of her. She had never seen such a kind looking Aiden before. It was honestly kind of unnerving.

“Ahem.”

Remembering that he had brought someone else with him. Aiden quickly introduced Eri to Christina.

“She’ll take care of you for a bit.”

“I want to stay with you.” She shook her head and looked up at him with tears in her eyes.

Smiling at her adorableness, Aiden crouched down so that they were eye level. Placing his hand on her head, he gave her a reassuring head pat.

[A/n: KAWAII!!]

“I won’t be gone for long.” He smiled. “If you’re a good girl and stick with Christina, I promise to buy whatever sweets you want.”

“*Sniff* Promise?”

“Pinky.”

Seeing the sincerity in his eyes, Eri nodded her small head and held his hand.

“Ready to go?” He asked.

Nodding her head, the trio made their way out of the hospital and towards UA.

After dropping off Eri and Christina, Aiden headed towards a hardware store and brought the rope that the class needed for their performance.

Seeing that he still had time to spare, he decided not to hurry back and had a leisurely stroll. Thinking about Eri, she was currently too attached to him, he thought it would be better if the two of them were kept separate for a small amount of time. Just long enough for her to be okay being around other people who weren’t hospital staff members.

While lost in thought, he accidentally bumped into a man wearing a face mask and a black hat. Next to him was a small child in a large sun hat.

From appearances alone, Aiden could tell that the two were in disguise. Poorly thought out disguises, but disguises none the less.

“Watch where you’re going young man. You almost made me lose the aftertaste of The Gold-Tips Imperial tea!” The disguised man said with noticable irritation in his voice.

“Hmph! Lets go honey.” He turned away from Aiden and spoke to the small child.

‘Honey?’ Looking at the ȧduŀt man leading what was clearly a small child away. The image of Eri flashed in his mind.

“Let go of the child you pedophile.”

Struck by the heavy nature of Aiden’s killing intent, Gentle felt his whole body freeze up as a spectral like monster appear behind Aiden’s back.

“Gentle?” LaBrava called out. “Gentle!”

“Huh?” Snapping out of it, Gentle looked down at his companion before looking back up at Aiden.

“Its gone…” Seeing that the monster that was no longer towering over the purple haired boy, Gentle sighed in relief.

“Gentle-sama?” LaBrava spoke loud enough for only him to hear.

“Hmm?” Realizing that there was still a sword being pointed at him, Gentle coughed an tried to deescalate the situation.

“Ahem, I’d appreciate it if you would stop pointing that sword at me young man.”

…Aiden released more killing intent.

“I-I mean she’s completely legal!! She’s small but definitely not a minor!!” Gentle defended.

Furrowing his eyebrows, Aiden took a closer look at the girl who seemed to be sweating intensely.

“Hmm…”

Even if that was the case, just the fact that the two were disguising themselves was highly suspicious.

“*Sigh* You may go.” He deconstructed his sword and opened up a path for the two of them.

“T-Thank you.” Gentle grabbed LaBrava’s hand and hurriedly walked past Aiden. But before he could get very far, he was stopped by Aiden’s next couple of words.

“Did you really think I’d let you go that easily Gentle Criminal?”

“WHAT?!!” Spinning back around as fast as he could, he couldn’t even tell that he was already on the ground with Aiden forcing his face into the concrete with his hand.

“Y’know, the whole point of disguising oneself is to not draw attention to themselves.”

Looking down at the immobile criminal, Aiden spoke in a slow voice.

“GENTLE!!” LaBrava screamed.

Aiden looked at the red headed girl and chuckled to himself.

“I’m guessing that’s your partner.”

“How did you know about us?” Gentle managed to squeeze out.

“Anyone who isn’t a retard would see through your poor excuse for a disguise. Next time you want to play criminal, don’t post your face online and announce to the world what you look like.”

“Thanks for the advice… LaBrava.” He suddenly called out. “Turn the camera on.”

Activating his quirk around his body, he flung Aiden into the air and away from himself.

Shifting onto the ground, Aiden looked at the Gentle Criminal with amusement. Seeing that he still had some time to kill, he thought that he might as well entertain himself.

Brushing the dirt off his clothes, The Gentle Criminal stood up feeling proud at the fact that he forced Aiden away.

“Now then, I think its time that we formally introduce ourselves.” Bowing slightly, he introduced himself. “I am the high class villain whose name will echo through the annals of history, the one who defeats all with elegance and grace, I am The Gentle Criminal.”

“Neat.”

“Neat?” Hearing his response, Gentle couldn’t help but frown at his lackluster reaction.

“Yeah, I’m Aiden, but I guess its more appropriate for you to call me Avenger.”

“Avenger? How brutish.”

Shrugging his shoulders, Aiden took a step towards the figure.

“Oh ho? Are you approaching me?”

“Yeah, can’t really punch you from this distance.”

[A/n: Feels like its been too long since I added in a reference.]

Knowing about Gentle’s abilities, Aiden didn’t take this fight seriously and decided to use only his fists to fight.

“Punch me? Oho, then come forth young Avenger, show the world what you can do.”

“Already ahead of you.” He smiled and launched him forward.
