My Hero Academia: Killer Quirk!! - Chapter 124

“I’m so excited!!”

“Hagakure, aren’t you cold?”

Walking with the rest of Class 1A through one of UA’s training grounds, Aiden and his peers were dressed in the Winter versions of their hero costumes.

“Hey hey!! What do you think of my winter specs?” Mina caught up to him and asked.

Looking at her up and down, Aiden complimented the outfit by giving her a thumbs up.

“Haha! It totally rocks right?”

“Yeah.”

“Hey Aiden.” Momo suddenly called and walked up to his left side.

“Hey Momo.” He smiled wryly.

‘Oh fuċk! I totally forgot that I was meant to spend time with her during the cultural festival!’

After having Ryuko break the news about her pregnancy, he completely forgot about everything else.

“What do you think about my winter costume? Very memorable isn’t it?” She smiled.

“…Yeah…” He was sure that that ‘Very Memorable’ line was a jab at him. And if he was being completely honest, her winter costume wasn’t that amazing. The only change he could really see was the fact that she was now wearing a cape for some unexplained reason.

Speaking of costumes, he had his altered slightly. He kept the same aesthetic but had added in a hood and removed the mask. The reason for this was because he realized that his hair would push against the top of his mask if he was in the astral state. He also padded the outfit out a bit to protect against the cold.

Walking with a weirdly smiley Momo on his left and an excitable Mina on his right, he wondered what he did to deserve this.

Looking at the rest of his classmates, he saw that they had also changed their outfit’s appearances to some degree. Though he had to admit the best looking hero costume now went to Bakugo.

Lamenting at the fact that Bakugo actually had a good sense of fashion, he and the rest of class 1A saw class 1B approaching.

“Oho, well if it isn’t the infamous class 1A?” And there was Monoma. “Fufufu, its a shame though.” He suddenly started laughing.

“The wave of momentum you guys previously had will now be ours!” He then proceeded to pull out a questionnaire form from out of nowhere and went on a tirade about how their play received 2 more votes over class 1A’s concert.

Ignoring his blatant inferiority complex, Aiden eyes accidentally met with Kendo’s.

“Kendo.” He nodded.

“Aiden.” She looked back at him with fire in her eyes.

“Today I’ll prove to you that I’m worthy of being your friend.” She spoke with a hardened resolve. It was actually kind of weird how much she wanted his approval.

*Sigh* “Its not about you being worthy or not.”

“Eh? Then why’d you reject me?”

“Because I don’t want to be your friend.” Aiden didn’t mean it in a cruel way, its just that his current friends (Mina) were already tiring enough. He really didn’t want to add more on top of that.

Hearing his response, Kendo clench her fists and looked straight into his eyes.

“Whatever we do today, I’ll beat you and show you that being friends with me isn’t a bad thing.”

*Sigh* “Sure.” He answered nonchalantly.

“Aiden!!” Pony ran to his side with an excited look on her face. “I hope we don’t have to go against each other.”

Before he could answer, he was interrupted by the gruff voice of class 1B’s teacher.

“Listen up! We’re having a special guest joining us today.”

“Special guest?”

“Is it a girl?” Denki thought aloud.

“Whoever it is, I’ll kill em!” Bakugo smiled crazily.

“Lets do our best!!” TetsuTetsu cheered.

Walking out from the shadows, the indigo haired Shinso from the sports festival appeared wearing a training outfit with similar looking steel alloy wire cloth to Aizawa wrapped around neck and shoulders. But what really stood out to Aiden was the black mask hanging off his neck.

Seeing the speakers on the mask and remembering what Shinso’s quirk was, he had a pretty good idea of what the mask was for.

“Introduce yourself.” Aizawa turned to him.

Nodding his head, Shinso looked towards both classes.

“Ahem, I know I’ve already encountered a lot of you during the sports festival, but you won’t catch me thinking that we’re all buddies now that we’ve exchanged some blows. I’m not some good natured person trying to spout some superficial sense of sportsmanship. The fact of the matter is I’ve gotten a late start and I’ve already been left in the dust by all of you. But even so… I’ll become a great hero so that I can use my quirk to help others.”

‘Another idealist…’ Aiden sighed.

Shinso carried on. “I want all of you to understand that to me, you’re all nothing but obstacles that I’ll overcome.” He glared at the class before nodding at Aizawa.

“All right then, lets get down to shall we. For today’s lesson we’ll be focusing on combat exercises.”

“WHAT!!” Everyone instinctively looked at Aiden. Remembering what happened to Midnight and Ectoplasm, most of class 1A would prefer not to fight against him. It was only after class 1B’s teacher Vlad King told them that it’d be an interclass tournament that they breathed out a sigh of relief.

“Whew, he really had me there for a minute.” Sero laughed.

“I know right, could you imagine fighting against Aiden? Dude’s a monster.”

“But doesn’t that mean that whoever gets him on their team has an advantage?”

Suddenly a weird light appeared in everyone’s eyes as they turned to look at Aiden.

“I CALL DIBS!!” Mina suddenly shouted and grabbed onto him as if to claim him as her own.

Not wanting to lose out, Momo also grabbed onto him. Seeing that 2 people had already claimed him for their own, the rest of class 1A got into a pushing war as they charged towards the purple haired boy.

Watching this from the sidelines, Aizawa felt a headache coming on. Knowing how skilled Aiden was at combat and strategy planning, he knew that whoever got him on their team would be given an obvious advantage.
