My Hero Academia: Killer Quirk!! - Chapter 121

A dad… A father… A parent…

While he had joked about it with Ryuko before, he never imagined that it would happen so soon. The thought of having his own child left him feeling perplexed. Even though he didn’t think much about it in the past, actually having it happen now was a completely different feeling. He didn’t know whether to feel excited or not.

After saying goodbye to the Wild Wild Pussycats and dropping Eri off at the hospital, Aiden and Christina walked back home in complete silence. Not sure of what was going on with him, Christina tried to cheer him up but received a blank stare as a response.

Not knowing how he ended up in his room, Aiden sat on his bed in a lotus position and practiced some breathing techniques.

*Breathes out*

Slowly opening his eyes, he let the world appear in his sights once more.

Now that he was calm and not lost in thought, he finally come to a conclusion.

‘…I’ll deal with the kid when its born.’

Knowing that Ryuko had not told the other Wild Wild Pussycats about her current condition, it meant that Tiger wouldn’t come knocking on his door anytime soon.

Staring up at the star-filled night sky, Aiden let a small smile appear on his face.

‘A kid huh…’

—

With the end of the Cultural Festival, so came the end of November and the start of The JP Hero Billboard chart.

Having received at text from Mina telling him that the Wild Wild Pussycats visited their dorms, she complained that he missed the reunion. But little did she know that he had spent a large portion of the festival with them, even forgetting that he promised to spend some time with Momo.

Watching the Billboard chart broadcast online, Aiden streamed the event on the TV and watched with Christina.

“Is this really that interesting?” Christina asked between stuffing her face with a bowl full of popcorn.

Aiden shrugged. “There’s no harm in knowing how Japan ranks their heroes.”

“Really? I thought you’d be against it.”

“Why’d you think that?” Aiden looked at her and ask.

“Because their ranking doesn’t reflect their strength. The whole thing is a glorified popularity contest.”

Shrugging his shoulders again, Aiden focused on the screen.

—

Looking at the top 10 rankings, Aiden silently shook his head.

10 – Dragon Hero Ryukyu (Her quirk’s not very versatile)

9 – The Armored Hero Yoroimusha (Samurai armor… To nationalistic)

8 – The Washing Hero WASH (…How did he make it into the top 10?)

7 – Kamui Woods (…Redefines the meaning of morning wood)

6 – The Shield Hero Naofumi (He deserves it and so much more!!)

6 – The Shield Hero Crust (Lacks offensive ability)

5 – The Rabbit Hero Mirko (Skip)

4 – The Ninja Hero Edgeshot (WEEB!!)

3 – (Absent) Best Jeanist

2 – The Winged Hero Hawks (Having wings is all it takes to be ranked second?)

1 – The Flame Hero Endeavor (At least he has the firepower)

—

Just like what Christina had said, the hero ranking was nothing more than a glorified popularity contest that didn’t represent strength or merit. Now that All Might, the symbol of peace had retired, it fell to Endeavor the second most popular to take his position as number one.

Aiden couldn’t help but think that the whole ranking system oddly resembled typical high school mentality.

“What a waste of time.” Christina spat.

“You didn’t have to watch.”

“I wanted to see what Mirko looked like.” She gave him an innocent look.

“You have the internet… You can see what she looks like whenever you want.”

“Yeah but its different when you’re watching something live. Plus I wanted to see how you’d react to seeing her.”

“Oh… How did I do?”

“Disappointing! You bȧrėly even blinked when they called her name!”

“I guess I’m to used to her.” He shrugged.

“Don’t brush it off you bastard!! Don’t think I don’t know what you two did!”

“What we did?”

“I know that you two fuċkėd!!”

“Oh… Is that it?”

Hearing his lackluster response, Christina had the urge to strangle him.

“Whats with that response! Shouldn’t you be more shocked! Or at least a bit curious as to how I have this information.”

He shrugged again. “I’ve honestly had so much sėx in the last couple of months that I sometimes forget I did it with her.”

Clenching her fists tight enough that you could hear her bones creak, Christina’s body started to tremble before she screamed “DON’T FLEX YOUR ACHIEVEMENTS!!”

—

“So how’d you find out anyway?” Aiden looked towards the blonde haired woman sitting in the corner hugging her knees.

“*Sniff* I hacked into her ŀȧptop and found her ėrȯtɨċ fantasy diary.” Christina answered in a quiet voice.

“Oh… Can I see it?”

Taking it off her hands, Aiden looked at the newly opened page and started reading.

*Reads first couple of pages*

“Yep, its filthy.”

—

While Aiden was busy reading about Rumi’s deepest darkest dėsɨrės, the new number one hero was struggling with his own problems after being told by one of his hardcore fans that he shouldn’t greet his fans because it makes him look lame and is needless fanservice.

“BWHGAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahaHAHAHAHAHAH.” Hawks burst out laughing.

Sitting in a high service restaurant with Endeavor, he bȧrėly managed to not keel over and collapse from laughing so hard.

“You brat, its not funny.” Endeavor frowned.

Wiping away a tear, Hawks did his best to control himself and tried to answer with a serious face.

“Its just that you’re character has always been so cold- Cold! Ahahahahahahahahahaha.” Hawks burst out laughing again.

Frowning again, Endeavor felt a vein appear on his forehead.

—

After managing to calm down, the two heroes finally managed to have a proper conversation. It was just unfortunate that a flying figure had to come and crash their party.
