My Hero Academia: Killer Quirk!! - Chapter 125
“For this combat exercise, each team’s goal is to see the other team as villains and to defeat and capture them. The exercise ends once one team has caught four members of the other team and placed them in the prison we’ve install in each teams camp. Once they’ve been placed inside the prison will they be considered as captured.” Vlad King explained.
“That means rendering your opponent immobile close to your own base would be the most efficient.” 1B’s Jurota said aloud.
Listening to what the exercise entailed, Aiden wondered if he should use this class to test out the usefulness of the Astral state.
“Alright then.” Aizawa drew everyone’s attention. “Time to draw lots.”

“WooHoo!! I got Aiden on my team!!” Mina cheered much to the annoyance of everyone else in class 1A. This especially irked Momo, Pony and Kendo as they all gave her a hard look.
In response to this, Mina stuck out her tongue and clung onto Aiden who looked like he couldn’t care less. The only thing that bothered him was the fact that he was in a team with Deku.
Seeing him look over in his direction, Izuku did his best to pretend he was talking to Uraraka.
The only other person who was feeling bad about this match up was Monoma. Once he heard that he’d be facing off against Aiden, all the color in his face seemed to vanish as he lost his previous bravado.

Walking towards the 2 classes, Midnight and All Might talked about the usual hero stuff before the conversation steered towards their students.
“So which class do you think is gonna win?” Midnight asked.
“Who indeed… 1A has overcome numerous crisis’s and they are definitely strong without a doubt. However, if you look at their recorded data, class 1B has actually undergone more growth thanks to them staying out of trouble and focusing on honing their own strengths.”
“Heh, and here I was thinking that you preferred 1A.”
“Ahem, as a teacher it is wrong of me to have a favorite.” All Might said in a just tone.
“Hmm…” Midnight looked over at Aiden. “If its so wrong, why does it feel so right?”
“What was that?”
“Nothing.”
Aizawa voice carried over towards the two heroes.
“START!!”

“Hmm…” Watching the first match between 1A and 1B, Aiden had to admit that 1B’s growth exceeded 1A’s by a margin. Taking advantage of his quirk ‘Beast’ to sniff out class 1A’s position and then separating them from their heavy hitter (Kirishima) was quite a good strategy. What was also praiseworthy was the fact that beast had also managed to find and force away an invisible Tsuyu.
Using his astral vision, Tsuyu’s invisibility might as well have been turned off in front of Aiden. But even then, he was still impressed 1B managed to find her with their own abilities.
If he was being completely honest, he was quite disappointed that 1A were caught off guard so easily. Not to mention how clear it was that none of them had any plan on how to deal with the quirks of their opponents. If not for Shinso using his voice changer ‘Persona Code’ to trick beast into answering him, class 1A could have suffered a devastating loss then and there.
‘How disappointing.’
What followed next couldn’t even be called a fight, watching as class 1A made a mockery of themselves, Aiden had to admit that 1B was clearly superior in this match. It was only due to them having an extra person on their team and some unexplainable luck on their side that 1A managed to capture the students of 1B and snag a win.
And what really irked him was just how smug they acted after bȧrėly scraping together a victory. If it wasn’t for them relying on someone like Shinso who wasn’t even a member of 1A, he was sure that they would have lost.

“All Might, Midnight.” Aizawa and Vlad King approached the two heroes.
“What do you guys think of Shinso?”
“He did very well!” All Might answered with enthusiasm. “For this to be the first time he had to genuinely work with others, all I can do is praise his performance! Not to mention the fact that he was frustrated with his own performance and is striving to be better. He has the makings of a good hero. That being said…” He looked over towards the verses board. “Is he going to be okay going against that team?”
Looking in the direction All Might was staring at, the rest of the heroes saw that he was looking at Aiden’s team.
With how intelligent Aiden was, everyone besides Vlad King were pretty sure that Aiden was already planning on how to deal with Shinso’s 1B team.
*Sigh* “We’ll just have to wait and see.”
—
“Wow.” Deku’s eyes shone. “Shinso and the rest are so amazing.”
‘Amazing? That entire match was nothing more than a sequence of coincidences that just so happened to fall into class 1A’s favor.’
Ignoring Deku, Aiden’s eyes focused up on the next match between Kendo’s team and Momo’s team.
