My Hero Academia: Killer Quirk!! - Chapter 126

So Momo’s team lost to… While it wasn’t an overwhelming defeat, to say that they did well would be giving them too much credit.

‘Why are they doing so bad today? Or is it that class 1B have improved to the point that 1A just can’t keep up?’

*Sigh*

Out of everything he’d seen from today’s match, Aiden was sorely disappointed with his classmates. Out of everyone he’s seen so far, only Tokoyami was able to grab his attention as he used Dark Shadows ability to float off the ground to wrap himself in its arms and use it to fly. While not very impressive in Aiden’s eyes, it was better than everyone else by a long shot.

That being said, the mushroom girl from class 1B really exceeded his expectations. While he had a file on her and everyone else in class 1B in his room, he had paid special attention to her as her quirk was more than good enough to get her into class 1A and even posed a danger to himself.

Kinoko Komori, also known by her hero name “Shemage.”

Her quirk “Mushroom” allows her to release different type of fungus spores from her body. Once released the spores quickly grow into fully formed mushrooms and can grow on any surface including the inside and outside of an opponent’s body.

While the quirk itself didn’t sound to impressive on first hearing, the fact that someone could unintentionally breathe in those spores was a big problem. Imagine if she made the spore germinate while the spore was inside your lungs? Not only would her opponent die with no way to defend themself, the police wouldn’t be able to find the culprit as the mushrooms disappear after 2 hours. Even Aiden didn’t have any proper way to defend against this quirk. The only way he could come up with at the moment would be to hold his breath and cover his body in a thin layer of astral energy.

Using her quirk to release spores everywhere, the battle ground was soon covered in mushrooms, even the invisible Toru was covered in mushrooms stripping away the one thing that made her effective and making her an easy target.

“HELL YEAH!! WE WON!!” TetsuTetsu cheered as Kendo and her team joined the rest of class 1B.

“Well done Kendo.” A member of class 1B congradulated them.

“Thanks!” She smiled before looking over at Aiden and winking.

“….”

‘While her overal power may not have improved, her strategic ability has definitely improved by quite a bit… To bad that its not to the level that interests me.’

Ignoring Kendo’s attempts to grab his attention, Aiden kept quiet and focused his attention on the next match.

Unlike the others, this match actually caught his interest as it involved Shoto.

—

‘A draw… Seriously?’

Seeing all combatants fall unconscious and both teams only capturing a single member of the opposing faction, Aiden couldn’t help but be astonished over just how fast class 1B had grown in comparison to 1A. Throughout the whole match, only Shoto’s fight against TetsuTetsu had caught his interest as Shoto was in the midst of surpassing his limits and releasing a flame so hot that it could bypass TetsuTetsu’s defenses and melt him. Unfortunately Aiden couldn’t even see his friend’s big moment as some random fuċker from 1B interrupted and caused Shoto’s efforts to be wasted.

Although Aiden wasn’t able to see Shoto’s big moment, he felt his determination from here and was inspired to try something new with his own quirk later on.

Besides that event, everyone else in the match didn’t do anything noteworthy.

—

The next match was between Bakugo team and another random 1B team.

*Yawn*

‘How boring.’

“CLASS 1A ARE THE WINNERS!!”

While it was surprising to see Bakugo protecting a teammate from attacking them, Aiden could already see the limit of Bakugo’s quirk and wasn’t impressed.

Although, he had to admit that Bakugo basically soloing and beating them in 5 minutes was a feat that no one else had yet to do.

“Kacchan…” Deku mumbled to himself after seeing him return victorious.

“Dude that was so awesome!!” Denki cheered and went over to Bakugo’s side.

“Yeah! I didn’t think you had it in you to save anyone.”

“I’m a hero!!” Bakugo refuted.

“I know. But its kinda like watching a serial killer picking up a kitten and stroking him nicely y’know. Totally unexpected and out of character.” Sero explained.

“Fuck off!!”

“Hey Kacchan!!” Deku ran up to him.

“GET OUT OF MY WAY!!” Bakugo suddenly said on reflex.

“But I’m not in fron-

“I’m progressing further than you!” Bakugo interrupted.

“Huh?” Taken aback by his statement, it took a second for Deku to understand what he meant before he smiled.

“Yeah… you are.”

“Damn right I am! I’m moving so fast that you’ll never catch up!”

“Yeah.” Deku nodded before having look of resolution appear in his eyes. “But I’ll surpass you soon.”

“Fuck that!! I’m not gonna let a low life bitch like you surpass me! That goes for you to you purple haired bastard!!” Bakugo said yelling at the nearby Aiden.

Hearing him, Aiden raised his head slightly before brushing him off by saying. “Please keep your delusions to yourself.”

“WHAT DID YOU SAY!!”

*Sigh*

‘What is it with guy?’

—

While Bakugo was in the midst of starting an arguement with Aiden, Monoma gathered his teammates and Shinso for a strategy meeting.

“I um… I don’t think we can win…” A pale grey haired student from class Monoma’s team said while looking in Aiden’s direction.

Hearing that, the others all nodded in union as they all recalled Aiden’s ability during the sports festival and the video of him capturing the robbers during his work experience.

“Yeah, forgetting class 1A’s team for a second, just the fact that our quirks are more technical than combat based is a huge demerit for us. If it wasn’t for Aiden I’d say we had a decent chance… But with him and that Midoriya guy thrown into the mix I don’t see us having a positive ending.” The short haired Shoda said.

“They have to have a weakness though? I mean sure they’ve probably improved but so have we! Even if we lose it won’t be too badly right?”

“…So in the end we still lose even if its not too badly…”

“I um, I think that’s the best we can do considering the circumstances.”

Standing quietly to the side, Monoma had yet to say a word as memories of his fight on the sports festival plagued him.

“No.” Shinso suddenly spoke up. “We can win.”

“Huh?” Everyone raised their heads.

“How?”

“The test is about capturing our targets… All we need to do is stay out of Aiden’s way and capture the rest.”

“But what about Midoriya? While he may not be on Aiden’s level, his power and agility is comparable to that Bakugo guy, maybe even higher! I’ve also heard that he’s been practicing long ranged attacks for a while now, even without Aiden they’ll still be trouble to deal with.” Shoda explained.

“No problem, if I combine my quirk with Monoma’s then we should be able to contain him.”

“Me?” Monoma said in surprise when he heard his name get mentioned.

“Yeah.” Shinso nodded. “Although Midoriya knows about my brainwashing, dealing with him shouldn’t be too hard with your help. Hmm… And if we get lucky, we might even be able to cage Aiden.”
