My Hero Academia: Killer Quirk!! - Chapter 120
“GENTLE!!” LaBrava screamed in panic.
Holding onto Gentle’s face, Aiden tightened the muscles in his arms and manipulated his own gravity to lift Gentle up before slamming his head down onto the ground.
Holding back enough to not crack open his head, Aiden watched as the pupils in Gentle’s eyes vanished.
Looking at her hero laying unconscious on the ground, dark thoughts suddenly appeared in LaBrava’s head.
“Gentle…”
Letting go of Gentle’s head, Aiden got up and turned to look at the red haired girl.
“…”
“…”
“So… I’m gonna go now. See ya.”
Realizing that he still had to deliver the rope and spend time with Eri, Aiden constructed astral wings on his back and took to the air. Leaving LaBrava alone with an unconscious Gentle, the small girl hobbled over to his side with tears in her eyes. She knew attacking UA would be dangerous and that there was a chance that they might fail, but for them to be defeated this badly before even walking through the gates was de-moralizing.
“*Sniff* Gentle…”
Unable to respond, Gentle lay motionless while LaBrava sobbed over his body. The only respite she could feel was the fact that his pulse was still strong.
—
Soaring through the air at an impressive speed, Aiden touched down outside the gates of UA with a plastic bag in his hand.
Knowing that Gentle and LaBrava were closer to pranksters than actual villains, he decided to only play around with them and not do anything too drastic. Dusting his hands off, he walked through the gates of UA and regrouped with his class.
—
“They really went all out this year.”
Hearing the words of her companion, a blonde haired woman in a blue summer dress couldn’t help but smile as she looked over the stalls.
“Where’s Aiden?” A small boy in a cap asked.
“He should be around here somewhere.” The group looked around for his figure.
“I LOVE FESTIVALS!!” A green haired girl from the group yelled.
—
“Whats this?” Eri looked up Christina and asked.
After spending some time with her, Christina fell absolutely in love with the adorable little girl.
“Its cotton candy.”
“Cotton candy?”
Smiling at the wonder in her eyes, Christina asked her if she wanted to try some.
“Is everyone ready?” Aiden asked after making sure that everything was in order.
Turning to look at Aiden, the students of class 1-A smiled and yelled “1-A!!” in union.
“I guess you are.” He nodded and ushered them onto the stage. But before he could leave, Mina grabbed onto his arm and pulled him back.
“Are you sure you don’t want to dance with us?” She looked at him with pleading eyes.
Smiling at her attempt at using puppy dog eyes on him, Aiden patted her head and left the stage with some kind words.
“Break a leg.”
—
Holding Eri up in her arms, Christina and the rest of the audience looked towards the stage with expectation in their eyes.
Also wanting to watch the performance, Aiden secretly took to the skies and had the best seat in the house.
—
“WHOOO!!”
“GO CLASS 1-A!!”
“YOU GUYS ROCK!!”
“YAOYAROZU-SAMA!!!”
Listening to the cheers from the crowd, Aiden couldn’t help but smile as he listened to the music. Looking at the people in the audience with his astral vision, he spotted a bright eyed Eri showing off the most adorable smile he’d ever seen. He could also see that freeloader Christina enjoying herself.
Looking away from them, he also saw Mirio and a couple of other students cheering in the crowd. But what really caused him to pause was the sight of a burly man holding a small boy in a cap up on his shoulders.
“Kouta?”
Looking a bit to his left, he saw a smiley Mandalay, the energetic Ragdoll and the blonde haired Ryuko.
Feeling a gaze fall on her person, Pixie-bob couldn’t help but look in the direction that the gaze was coming from. What she was not expecting was to see a floating Aiden looking back at her. Quickly regaining her composure, she showed off a splendid smile and waved at him.
—
Once the song ended, Aiden joined up with the Wild Wild Pussycats and Christina/Eri.
“BIG BRO AIDEN!!” Kouta yelled and ran into his arms.
Lifting the boy up, Aiden smiled and raised him into the air.
“Woah! You’ve gotten bigger since the last time I saw you.”
Seeing the two of them act so familiar with each other, Eri felt a weird feeling in her ċhėst so she tugged on the hem of Aiden’s shirt.
“Hmm?” Realizing that Eri had never spoken to someone her own age, Aiden quickly put Kouta down and introduced the two.
“Eri, this is Kouta, Kouta, this is Eri.” He knelt down and introduced the two kids to each other.
“Hi…”
“Hi…”
Seeing the two interact with the other, Aiden had a hard time concealing his smile.
“Aiden… Who is she?” Ryuko ruined the moment and asked him about Christina.
Not knowing how to explain his relationship with Christina, he used the friend excuse.
“Friends?”
“Yep. Christina, meet Pixie-bob of the pro hero team the Wild Wild Pussycats. Ryuko, meet Christina, an old friend visiting me from the states.”
“Nice to meet you.” The two women shook hands and greeted each other. Unknown to Aiden, the two of them were actually sizing the other up. Seeing that she had Ryuko beat it the ċhėst department, Christina couldn’t help but smirk while Ryuko frowned hard.
Ignoring the two women, Aiden crouched down to talk to the kids.
“Wanna go see a play?”
“A play?” Eri ċȯċked her head to the side.
“Its like the movies we watched in the hospital but we get to see it in real life.” Aiden explained.
“Oh.”
“You don’t know what a play is?” Kouta asked in surprise.
Shaking her head, Eri looked down at her feet. But Kouta’s next words caused her to look back up.
“Now we have to go see it!!”
“Huh?”
“Yep! Lets go watch the play!!”
“O-Okay!”
Watching the two of them, all the ȧduŀts in the area felt a warm cuddly feeling well up in their ċhėsts.
—
Watching Class 1-B’s play with Eri sitting on his ŀȧp, Aiden felt a slight nudge to his left.
Seeing that she had caught his attention, Ryuko leaned in and started whispering to him.
“You’re really good with kids aren’t you?”
“Not really.” He denied.
Rolling her eyes, Ryuko couldn’t help but smile at his modesty.
“I hope you’re half as compassionate towards our own child as you are to Kouta and Eri.”
“Lets talk about this when we actually have our own child.” Aiden retorted and focused back on the play. But then Ryuko’s next sentence caused him to freeze.
“I guess that means we’ll talk about this again in 9 months.”
