MHA: A Villain's Playground

Chapter 4: Chapter 3: Immeasurable Potential!



"Enough!"

Aizawa's eyes glowed red as he glared at Aomine.

He hurried Tsuyu and held her up. She was gasping for breath and looked terrified. She didn't dare look into Aomine's eyes again and stared at the ground trying to calm herself down.

"Sensei! Is she okay?" Uraraka and the rest of the class were confused.

All they saw was Aomine's eyes turn into a beautiful emerald clock and only a few seconds later Aizawa-sensei interrupted.

Everything happened so fast they had no idea how to react but Aizawa-sensei's anger and Tsuyu's pitiful state definitely had them apprehensive of Aomine.

"There's no need to overreact is there, Sensei?" Aomine said feeling exhilarated.

This Quirk.

It was broken.

"Is there not?" Aizawa's voice was stern as he looked at Aomine coldly. "I'm sure Principal Nezu gave you a good lecture on when and how to use your Quirk. Especially with your classmates."

Aomine hummed in agreement but didn't retort.

By now Tsuyu had somewhat calmed down and left Aizawa's support to stand next to Ochako.

"I'm fine, Sensei." She said, trying to control the tremor in her voice.

She felt her heart fill with anger.

Overreact? This was overreacting?

Only Tsuyu knew the intense feeling of vulnerability and isolation she had to face a few moments ago.

She was sure Aomine was used to people reacting like this with how calm he sounded.

Despite recovering she vowed to never look into Aomine's eyes again nor talk to him.

Aizawa looked at Tsuyu and silently turned around, leading everyone back to class.

Aomine followed at the back of the line, he was somewhat surprised, he didn't expect the effect of Chrono-Lock to be so great.

It was an overpowered Emitter-type Quirk.

This Quirk allowed him to stop time for a specific target!

Freezing them in place while everything else continues as normal.

It was a horrifying Quirk to have as a teenager.

He could understand why U.A was fixated on him.

From his memories, this Aomine Daiki of My Hero Academia is an Orphan and he has lived completely like an emotionless machine. Probably because it was a proxy body for him to occupy.

Even to enter U.A he had to take no exam.

As he entered U.A to take the exam he was called by Principal Nezu, All Might and Eraser Head into the Principal's office.

There was he instructed to use his Quirk on All Might.

The result?

While not terrified or vulnerable, All Might found himself in a similar state to Tsuyu. Looking back Aomine found it funny how grave Nezu's and Aizawa's expressions had gotten. Aizawa wanted to help and cancel his Quirk but Nezu interrupted and told Aomine to use the Quirk for as long as he could.

Admittedly, it wasn't long.

After fifteen seconds All Might found himself free of Aomine's ability and he remained quiet not saying anything despite being in his 'All Might' persona.

Nezu smiled and talked to Aomine, instructing him to never use his Quirk on his classmates without informing them. Saying it could give them too much of a scare.

Aomine nodded and left.

What he didn't know was the conversation that followed suit.

Nezu, All Might and Aizawa looked at each other in silence and Aizawa was the one to break it.

"What a pain in the ass…" Aizawa was the one who would have to deal with this kid and All Might and Nezu felt a bit guilty.

"Let's ignore that for now, All Might, please explain vividly how you felt." Nezu went back to his seat and picked a cup of tea.

Aizawa felt his lips twitch but he tiredly slumped into the couch.

Only All Might stood standing.

All Might's expression was grave as he looked at Nezu, "Give me his personal data sheet."

Nezu opened his drawer and handed a piece of paper to All Might.

All Might read through the data sheet and frowned.

"We should put him into a re-education program Nezu, this is too dangerous."

The reason All Might was suggesting re-education was because Aomine was basically a time bomb. A kid with no desire to be a Hero or inclination to help people having such a dangerous Quirk was unacceptable.

"You haven't answered my question yet." Nezu took a sip of his tea.

"... Alright." All Might gathered himself and it took him a few seconds to begin, "I was drawn to his eyes and the moment I looked into the clock that formed in his eyes I lost all control over my body. No power, no control, absolute vulnerability. That isn't even the scariest part, according to his data while he stops time for his Target he can still move! Nezu… He could've killed me."

All Might didn't say much but what he said was still mind-boggling.

A mere 15-year-old could defeat the strongest Hero on Earth!

Aizawa felt himself shiver from the mere thought.

Nezu took in All Might's words and a few seconds later let out mad laughter.

"Hehehe… Hahahah, All Might! We've found it All Might! The one that can become the greatest hero to ever exist! With this Quirk, we can completely remove evil!"

"Did you not listen to a single thing I said?" All Might's expression was stern while Aizawa was staring at the mouse with a deadpan expression.

"Crazy rat…"

"No! Listen to me. You don't understand the potential of this Quirk." Nezu's eyes shone with a crazy glint, his super intelligence quirk working overdrive, "He can stop someone as strong as All Might for 15 whole seconds! What if he starts training his Quirk properly? What if he can stop time for more than one person? What if… what if can stop time for an entire city!? This kid is a walking War Weapon! Oh, of course, these are all absurd thoughts but the possibility is still there!"

Aizawa was speechless and All Might was in a similar state.

They understood the implications of his words but there was another thought that crossed their minds.

Nezu has lost it.

There were times when the rat lost his marbles and this was one of them.

"Time time time! This kid is a walking prison All Might, Aizawa! Imagine going to apprehend villains and all he needs to do is look at them! Zero casualties! Zero bloodshed! Absolute control! Imagine! Just Imagine!—

"If his ability stops time for the target then what if there was a patient with a deadly injury!?"

Aizawa and All Might's mouths were agape. Their thoughts weren't as fast as Nezu's! They couldn't think this ahead.

"This is a godly ability! He could also become one of the greatest healers! He could help the entire medical sector of the world begin new breakthroughs! But…" Nezu slowed down.

"You don't have to worry too much. It's imperative for him to use his sight to lock onto targets, the factor of having to match his gaze might also be a big limitation, we still don't know if his Quirk can even be trained further with how absurd it is."

"In case he ever goes out of control we just have to outnumber him and blind him or gouge his eyes out… though that would be a waste of such an ability—"

"Enough! Nezu! I won't allow you to have harmful thoughts for a kid that hasn't even turned 16." All Might clenched his fists.

Nezu paused and adjusted himself, reverting to his pleasant mouse mode. He took a much-needed sip of his tea.

"My bad, sometimes I lose control myself." he looked at Aizawa, "I'll place him in Class 1-A for now. Observe him and if he displays any hint of being evil or losing control we'll re-educate him like All Might said. Since his Quirk is an Emitter type you should be able to control him, Aizawa. According to our investigation, Aomine-kun has never misused his Quirk, even when he was bullied in school for a brief time."

Poor Nezu didn't understand the reason Aomine didn't respond to bullying was because he had no consciousness and was controlled by the System.

Silence fell.

Aomine Daiki… perhaps this kid will be etched into the history of the world forever but I hope… I really hope it's for being a Hero.

All Might thought as he took his leave.

Nezu stared at the departing backs of Aizawa and All Might, his expression was calm. There were many other things he had thought of but they weren't appropriate to share with them.

His eyes glanced at the personal data sheet one last time.

He smiled.
