My Hero Academia: Killer Quirk!!

Chapter 73 - Testing one's limits

Shifting through the air canon, Aiden tightened the muscles in his legs and executed the heavy version of the Light-stepping technique to draw closer to All For One.

"You survived?" All For One said with some surprise in his tone.

Not caring about his words in the slightest, Aiden only had one goal in mind at the moment.

'KILL!!!'

Charging towards the masked villain, he started randomly shifting in order to throw off All For One's image of him.

'What's that bastard up to!' Bakugo thought while clenching his fists still affected by Aiden's killing intent.

Raising his arms again, All For One fired another Air Canon but failed to hit as Aiden shifted through the attack once again.

"What an interesting quirk..." All For One smirked behind his mask and made his right arm inflate like a balloon. "Lets see if you can dodge a faster attack."

Using the quirk SpringLike Limbs to store up the condensed air from his air canon, his next attack was much faster than the previous ones and almost blew Shigaraki and the others away.

*FWOOSH!!*

As if on instinct, Aiden didn't even have enough time to blink before executing another Astral Shift and avoided the attack again.

Constructing twin knives in his hands, he appeared in front of the standing All For One and ruthlessly thrust upwards towards his face.

But as if predicting his movements, he used the warping quirk that transported Bakugo and the rest to his location on Aiden before the attack could properly land.

Realizing that he was being warped away, Aiden immediately shifted and messed up All For One's teleportation plans. Appearing a bit away from him, he stared at the man in the suit and re-composed himself. Taking a moment to organize his current knowledge of the target, he found two glaring facts. The first was that throughout this whole fight, his opponent had yet to take a single step. The second was that he had only been firing off the air canon with one hand.

In essence, his current target was looking down on him.

Tightening his grip on his knives, he stared at All For One and simulated multiple different plans in his head.

'Really wish I had an AOE attack right about now.'

Staring at the boy in the white mask, All For One was actually impressed with the versatility of his quirk. But more than that, he was impressed by the boy's killer instinct. Reaching towards the front of his mask, he felt a small scratch where Aiden's knife had managed to reach before he was forced to shift away.

Although he had heard about the boy's capabilities from Shigaraki, facing him himself left him with a much deeper impression.

'Quite the talent.'

Looking at the situation before him, Aiden couldn't figure out a way to win. His ranged attacks seemed ineffective and All For One's enhanced air canon wouldn't give him time to breathe if he fired it rapidly.

'Tch, no wonder All Might and all the heroes came together. With such a monster here, I can't blame them for coming in droves.'

Disbursing his killing intent, he let his mind relax and allowed clear thoughts unrelated to murder enter his head.

Now that he was thinking clearly, he understood just how fuc*ed he really was. Even if he managed to close the distance between them, ALL FOR ONE would use the warp quirk on him again and he'd be forced to activate a shift.

'Wait a second! Aren't I here to rescue Bakugo?'

Remembering the purpose behind this operation, he turned his head to see a glaring Bakugo staring daggers at him.

"Right."

Gathering his astral energy into his knives, he pointed them at All For One and fired off multiple pierces.

*FWOOSH!!*

*FWOOSH!!*

*FWOOSH!!*

*FWOOSH!!*

"Hmm?"

"GET US OUT OF HERE BAKUGO!!" He yelled.

Realizing what he was planning to do, a glaring smile crept onto Bakugo's face as his the surface of his palms began to light up.

Seeing what was happening, Shigaraki wanted to stop him but was forced retreat by one Aiden's Pierces.

*BOOM!!*

Releasing a large explosion, Bakugo's figure shot up into the air at an astonishing speed. Executing his light stepping technique moments before he took off, Aiden manipulated his own gravity to make himself as light as possible before grabbing onto Bakugo's leg.

"DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY!!" Mr Compress shouted.

"SPINNER! MR COMPRESS! GRAB ONTO EACH OTHER!!" Magne shouted and used his magnetism quirk to send Mr Compress flying towards the two escapees.

Seeing the figure approaching them, Aiden let go of Bakgo's leg and free fell towards the pursuing villain. Constructing his signature blades, he increased his weight and crashed into the villain disrupting his momentum. Raising his arms into the air, he brought both blades down and stabbed them into the villain's shoulder blades before using the heavy (Crater making) version of the light stepping technique to push him back down towards the other villains while he shot further up into the air.

Watching this take place from the ground, All For One felt weirdly delighted by seeing the boy's escape strategy. For the first time in a long time, he truly felt impressed. Blowing his arm up again, he prepared to fire off an even faster Air Canon but paused when he heard a familiar voice.

"ALL FOR ONE!!!"

*BOOM!!*

Barely blocking his smash, All For One raised his head to look up at his ȧssailant.

"Hello All Might."
