Chapter 55: Chapter 53: Time pases quickly.
Late at night, Deep in the first behind class 1-A's dorms.
An invisible figure quickly made his way forward without alerting anyone.
Seeing that he has come a far enough distance, Kurokai turned off his invisibility.
But then he noticed a minor issue.
He was butt naked.
So he turned his invisibility back on.
It was to keep his identity hidden, it totally wasn't because he forgot to bring a pair of clothes.
Well it was an unimportant little detail, moving on.
The reason he came deep into the forest so late at night was because of a single reason.
To take control of the divine general.
Kurokai clearly remembers the reason Sukuna was able to control the beast was because he first defeated him in a battle.
And he was planning to use the same trick.
But unlike Sukuna he didn't plan to give the divine general any time to react or adapt.
Kurokai's eyes turned blue.
"Domain: Unlimited Void."
The world around him changed, converting to an endless void resembling outer space in appearance, with a large black hole, distant galaxies and numerous white patches in the background.
Then Kurokai raised his finger, red and blue combined giving birth to purple.
His plan was simple.
Summon Mahoraga.
Use Unlimited Void to stop him in place.
Use purple to blast him to pieces.
And done.
Nah I'd adapt?
Let's see how you adapt to this.
Suspending hollow purple beside him, Kurokai made a ceremonic sign using his hands.
"With this I summon you....."
A vague white figure surrounded by chains appeared behind him.
"Divine General Mahoraga."
The chains broke apart revealing a muscular giant with a golden wheel hovering behind his head.
Freed from his restraints, Mahoraga took his first step on the ground.
But as soon as he did.
A terrible amount of information rushed into his brain stopping him in place.
In the next moment a hallow purple was thrown on his face.
And just like that, he was gone.
Disintegrated, leaving nothing behind.
Kurokai felt his connection with Mahoraga vanish, he was dead.
A perfect KO.
Closing his eyes, he started feeling the presence of Mahoraga again.
Before, since Mahoraga didn't recognize him, he was unable to command the spirit.
But now with his ass beaten in a single move, he suddenly became very obedient.
Under Kurokai's control a golden wheel appeared behind his back.
But since he was invisible, the golden wheel seemed to be floating in mid air.
----
Villains Hideout.
"Mechamaru what's that golden thing?"
Shigaraki asked in a curious voice pointing at the giant creepy looking wheel behind Mechamaru's back.
"I made it thinking it looked cool, what do you think?"
Mecahmaru walked up to him, with Eri riding on his shoulders.
"It's ugly."
*Click*
The golden wheel made a turn.
Shigaraki blinked in confusion.
"Mechamaru it just moved."
"Yes, it's the cosmetic effect."
Putting down Eri from his shoulder who Mahoraga has finished adapting to, Mechamaru looked at Shigaraki.
"Shigaraki I was thinking of making a suit for you as well."
He said while pointing behind him at Twice who was jumping around in excitement wearing his new grey metal suit.
"For me too..."
Stars appeared in Shigaraki's eyes.
"Yes so I need to see your quirk decay."
"Ok."
Shigaraki jumped on his feet and turned the controlled he was holding to dust.
"How's that?--"
Before he finished speaking, Mechamaru suddenly grabbed his hand.
"Wait you---"
Shigaraki narrowed his eyes and stopped using his quirk seeing tge cracks which suddenly formed on Mechamaru's mechanical palm.
*Click*
The wheel behind his head moved again.
While Shigaraki was confused, Mechamaru's voice reached his ears.
"I need to personally check your quirk, to be able to design a suit acvording to your needs."
"You will die."
"That's why I need you to control your strength."
*Click*
"You're willing to go so far?....."
"It's nothing compared to my best friend."
*Click*
----
Time passed.
And the date of the Hero Provisional exam arrived.
The exam is held 3 different places throughout Japan, so to prevent the same school's different classes from competing against each other, class 1-A, 1-B of the hero department were sent to different centres.
Standing in front of the exam centre's gate, Kurokai complained while rubbing his eyes.
"It's unfair, after saving so many heroes, I should have directly received my Hero liscence."
His eyes were hurting since he stayed up late last night.
Asui blinked at him, then handed him her handkerchief.
"Oh thank you."
*Sneeze*
After rubbing his nose he handed it back to her.
Asui looked down at the handkerchief in her hand with unblinking eyes.
Controlling the urge to throw it back at his face she asked.
"Are you feeling unwell Kurokai kun?"
"Are you unwell Kurokai?"
Aizawa who heard their voice came over and said at the same time.
Kurokai looked at him, then said in sad tone.
"I am indeed unwell, the hypocrisy of the higher ups have made me sick..."
Aizawa sighed thinking: 'Here we go again.'
".....I saved so many heroes and yet I was not directly granted a hero's license....."
Aizawa rubbed his forehead.
"Is this fair? Doesn't your conscious hurt? I wonder how you can even sleep at night knowing you took advantage of a high school---"
"Okay stop."
Aizawa interrupted him.
"If you really want to, I can help you apply, the government might even agree but who knows how much time it will take?"
Shrugging his shoulders, he continued.
"You'll probably even graduate by the time they finish making a decision."
Kurokai gave him a long look.
".....so what if I fail?"
Aizawa was taken aback, then looked at him as if he's heard a joke.
"You? Fail? Against a group of kids? In a provisional license?"
"....."
"If you fail with your abilities then you might as well stop thinking about becoming a hero and go farm."
"It was a joke."
Kurokai rolled his eyes at Aizawa's sarcastic remark.
"Hm he's here."
Hearing Aizawa's sudden remark, Kurokai turned his gaze to look at the newcomers who were talking to his classmates.
"They're from Shiketsu High."
Asui commented seeing their uniform.
Kurokai also remembered something of them from the anime, but since he mostly skipped this part of the story to move to the ending, he didn't have a good memory about them.
Oh of course that is except for the girl with blond neck length hair, he remembered Toga disguised herself and entered the exam as well, pretending to be her.
But with Mechamaru keeping her in check, she wasn't allowed to mess around.
Kurokai's eyes went dazed for a moment, he confirmed Toga's location with Mechamaru.
It seems she was playing with Eri.
But this time the students from Shiketsu High finished talking with Ua and were making their way inside the exam hall.
Just when Kurokai was also thinking about entering.
"Eraser? It's you isn't it?!"
He looked curiously as a green haired woman wearing a bandana approached Aizawa, stood in front of him and said.
"Let's get married."
Kurokai's ears perked up, her words sounded music to his ears.
"No.", Aizawa replied instantly.
"No? Good one!"
The woman started laughing, holding her stomach.
"...you're hard to talk to, as usual, Joke."
"That's Smile Hero: Ms. Joke!"
Midoriya started giving introductions as always.
"Her quirk is 'Outburst'! She forces those around her to laugh, pulling their thinking and movements!"
"If you marry me, then we can make a happy family with never ending laughter!", Hero Ms. Joke said while giving Aizawa a thumbs up.
"A family like that can't be happy---"
"Sensei, so you're already cheating on Hero Pixie-Bob?!"
Aizawa almost lost his footing, hearing the familiar voice.
Clenching his fist he barely managed to turn his head, and as expected! It was indeed the devil himself!
Not wasting any time, Kurokak appeared between.
"...But it's alright sensei! You need not worry! I Kurokai am always on your side!"
He suddenly took out his phone and started typing on it in a crazy speed.
"Where would you two like to hold the wedding? There are many different choices available here...oh I like this one, ok selected."
"Don't worry sensei and leave everything to me, Let me tell Hero Pixie-Bob as well---"
"Why do you have her number?!"
Aizawa shouted in a loud voice and snatched the phone from Kurokai's hands.
Or atleast he tried to, since Kuroki is after all faster than him, so he couldn't possibly snatched his phone like that.
Aizawa gritted his teeth seeing him take pictures of him and Joke together.
On the other hand Ms. Joke was looking at them in interest, her smile couldn't help but widen when she saw Aizawa's distorted facial expression.
"Joke since you are here that means, Ketsubutsu academy..."
Aizawa hurridely said to her trying to divert the topic.
Ms. Joke wanted to tease him but before she could, her students arrived on the scene.
One of the students suddenly walked up from behind Ms Joke and grabbed Kurokai's hand.
"Hello I'm Shindo! I've heard a lot about you! The Tornado of terror! The future number one! The strongest rookie!"
Kurokai blinked and looked at Shindo's smilling face, and as soon as he did, he knew.
They were in the same trade.
Similar to how one performer meets another.
He understood the guy was faking his enthusiasm.
"Really? I'm flattened!"
Returning a sunny smile, Kurokai also grabbed Shindo's hand.
Shinde smilled even more then moved onto Midoriya next.
Kurokai glanced at his back, then ignored him.
Just then an excited girl with spiky hair approached him.
"Hey Kurokai-kun! Can I have your autograph? You were so cool at the sports festival!"
'A fan?'
Kurokai's smile became brighter and he suddenly took out a black marker from somewhere.
He totally wasn't carrying it with him all this time hoping someone would ask for a sign.
He really wasn't.
"Where do I sign?"
The girl was a little taken aback by his quick action, then without wasting time she grabbed her bag and took out a notebook from within.
"Please sign Here."
"Oh yes here you go."
He made a Tornado surrounding his name.
"Thank you Kurokai-kun!"
"It's okay! Hey do you also want one?"
Kurokai turned his face to the long black haired boy beside her.
"N-no I'm good....."
Seeing their friendly interaction, Hero Ms. Joke frowned and asked Aizawa in a confused voice.
"Could it be? You didn't tell them eraser?"
Aizawa silently walked towards the entry gate, Ignoring her.
