10 Finale

System, Use Skill Creation Scroll.

[Please choose what Skill you wish to create]

You can read my mind you already know what Skill I want.

[You have yet to name the Skill]

Fine. Use the SCS to create Skill: Energy Replenish

[Please choose which Trait you want to put the Skill under]

So all Skills must be put under a Trait, is it? Nevertheless please put Energy Replenish under Trait: Limitless since that sounds like the best offensive trait I have right now.

[Skill: Energy Replenish6 has been created and put under Trait: Limitless]

The skill effect was simple. As the name said this Skill will replenish my energy, though not in such a straightforward manner as directly regenerating them. Its effect makes it so that whenever my energy reaches 0% I would be fully replenished of them with my energy back to 100%. This ability can only be used once a day… Or it should be, but it seems because of the Rank(^its effect is multiplied and I can use it ten times a day. That is far stronger than what I anticipated. Could it be that… System, open my status screen.

[Limit Quest 6: have six Rank(6) or Rank(6+) Skills.]

Please upgrade and evolve OverLoad to Rank6+

[32SP and 1EVO has been spent to upgrade and evolve OverLoad+++(4+) into Overload(6+)]

At this point, OverLoad should be capable of increasing my strength up to +3000% but I found out that the conclusion was wrong as well. As expected not only upgrading, it seems evolving a Skill has the effect of making them stronger as well, as now I can use sacrifice my stamina to increase my strength at a 1:50 Ratio! That means I could become fifty-one times as strong were I to put all my stamina into one punch. And with Energy Replenishment I can do such a punch ten times a day and still be completely energized.

That was utter bullshit.

An attack with full-power OverLoad is comparable to Midoriya's full power finger flick or even stronger, except mine does not hurt me when I use them. I have no idea as to why though, maybe there is a difference in how it works compared to One for All since I never felt any large strain whenever I use OverLoad.

Oh, please upgrade and evolve Throw as well.

[1-2-4SP and 1 EVO spent to evolve Throw(1)]

[Please choose its evolution result]

[Accurate Throw(2)] [Power Throw(2)]

The first one, please. I am not worried about power right now.

[Skill: Throw(1) has evolved into Accurate Throw(2)]

That done with I took out a rock from my DS, took it into my grasp—

Overload: 20%

[+1000% Physical strength]

HG: This rock will knock out Shigaraki.

And threw it towards the large portal of pure black opening around a hundred meters away.

However, a smaller black portal appeared in front of the man I targeted, taking in my attacks without leaving any traces. Tch, my affinity with this Kurogiri who has a warping quirk is rather bad. The guy could use his portal to render any of my long range projectiles meaningless. I guess I have to risk myself within close quarter combat against him then.

[Quest: Defeat the Villains]

"Aizawa, enemy attacks!"

Saying so I mentally gave out an order towards the system.

[1EVO has been spent to evolve Hundred Gauntlets(4+) into Hundred Gauntlets(6+)]

Now my HG is also stronger from being evolved. I would have preferred to upgrade Dimensional Shooter as well considering its large role here since it is my only AoE attack and there are many enemies here, but beggars can't be choosers and I am one fine beggar indeed considering my 0SP.

The black fog portal got larger and larger, revealing all kinds of villains hidden within its shroud. Suddenly said portal burst out enveloping a large part of the surrounding environment. On the fog of black were two glowing yellow eyes.

Within the middle of all those villains was a man with a severed hand stuck onto his face, both side of the neck and both shoulders, and even more severed hands below them. Shigaraki Tomura.

"Huddle together and don't move!"

"Eh?"

"Is this like the entrance exam where the lessons already started?"

Young bright and innocent. Well, just young and innocent to be honest. Some of them have heads harder than rocks, both in the metaphorical and the literal sense. There is no time to waste, however, as I sent a few rocks over as projectile towards the group of villains. A tiny bit of greeting if you will.

"Oi Kuzuno, why are you attacking them?!" Kirishima yelled out in outrage.

"These people are villains ya numbskull!"

"The brat is right for once," Aizawa stated. "These are villains rather than part of our people."

My attacks were once again blocked by the black portal. That guy is getting annoying real fast here. Everyone else seems stunned for a while before they got their shit back together and spoke as a whole.

""Villains!? Who the hell would expect them to arrive in such opportune moments?!""

Or not. Peanut gallery can do whatever they want I suppose.

"Teacher, what of the intruder alarm sensors?" Yaoyorozu asked.

"Of course we have some set up, but…"

"Did they only infiltrate this part of the campus, or are there more around the whole school?" Todoroki Spoke. "Nevertheless, if the sensors are not responding that merely means they have someone among them who has a Quirk which is capable of passing through them unnoticed."

"An isolated space away from the school building, at a time when there is a class scheduled."

"It may seem out of the question, but they must have some solid objective to gain here. This is an ambush with careful planning and scheme backing it up."

Thank you for stating the obvious, Todoroki. Now would you mind attacking these villains? You are the strongest one overall among all the 1-A students. My attacks will get blocked by the portal guy no matter what I do so it would be nice if you could defeat that one quickly.

"Thirteen, start the evacuation procedure. Also, try calling the school. These villains know how to get around the sensors. They might have an electrowave-type quirk among them who interferes with our communications." Aizawa ordered. "Kaminari, you too. Try contacting UA with your quirk as well."

"R-Roger that!"

According to the information from BNHA manga most of the enemies here are mere chumps with a few challenging elites mixed in. Their elite force consists of Shigaraki, Kurogiri and the Noumu. Shigaraki will not act personally long as you keep your distance, Kurogiri can be handled by Aizawa who can seal his Quirk, while Noumu is the larger problem here.

"Aizawa, they have a guy with warping Quirk. Erases it with your gaze before he separates us students apart!" Saying so I ran towards the Noumu. "Leave the general enemies to us students, they're just random chumps. Take out the elites instead!"

"How do you—Tch, you'll have a lot of explaining to do after this!"

Aizawa seems to have his suspicion about my knowledge about the attackers, but he thankfully followed my words to the letter. His main priority is protecting the students so obviously he cannot let Kurogiri warp them away so they could be ambushed.

Meanwhile, Bakugo and Todoroki followed behind me. It seems the two are itching for a fight as well, as they both headed towards the same direction as I am, the center of the Villain groups where Shigaraki and the Noumu resided.

As if that was a signal of sorts all kinds of villains started to surround us. These were mere chumps though so there was no need to use OverLoad against them and waste my precious stamina, even after I attained Energy Replenishment6

HG: My projectiles will knock these villains unconscious

After activating HG I unleashed a large barrage of rocks and pebbles flying at high speed through Dimensional Shooter4+. If the Skill was Rank6+ I have no doubt these villains will be utterly demolished I matter of seconds, but since it is only Rank4+ using HG to support its effect was probably necessary, even at the cost of some mental strain.

I shot my projectiles indiscriminately; Todoroki froze those I did not manage to defeat while Bakugo exploded anyone who passed both mine and Todoroki's attack while also guarding our rear. Our cooperation was rather decent even though we fought without any form of communication. This was thanks to the trained senses of Todoroki from his years of training, and the insight and instinct of Bakugo which is necessary to cover for both of us.

As for me, I merely shot my projectiles tirelessly to eliminate the weaker ones among the villains before the other two takes over. Thanks to HG my attacks barely miss if at all, managing to knock out all the mooks so the other two do not need to bother wasting their energy. The other two minded the cooperation so the team keeps running while I merely berserks around.

Like so we carved a path towards Shigaraki and the Noumu at the center of the plaza while Aizawa handled Kurogiri and Thirteen protected the rest of the students body. At this point we have defeated a few dozen villains, annihilating them without mercy.

Soon enough we managed to get within a 50-meter range of Shigaraki and the Noumu.

I have a special surprise for the two. I mentally willed for a steel bar to be summoned into my hand with DS4+. It was formerly a steel bar used in the foundation for a building, which I collected a few of into my DS during the entrance exam. Unlike the many, many rubbles that I have there are only so many steel bars I could find during the exam though, so I never used any until now since there is a need to ration them properly.

However, this is the Finale of my stay at BNHA so might as well as use some of them. Yes, only some. I am somewhat guilty of the 'too good to use' syndrome, where I do not wish to use limited resources and store them until it is too late to use them effectively.

Overload: 80%

[+4000% temporary physical strength]

HG: This steel bar will pierce through Noumu's head.

I used all my remaining stamina on a throw. For an instant I felt my consciousness fade away before returning the next instant within the blink of an eye.

[Energy Replenishment has activated]

Nine uses left.

The steel bar soared through the air. Once again it navigates a curved arc and hit the intended target without fail. I mean the throw was forty-one times peak human performance, what else is there to say. The attack was pretty much nigh-unavoidable. The Noumu might have super strength but they have neither super dynamic acuity nor super reaction time.

The sight of a steel bar of all things piercing through a being's head was enough to stun both of my two allies, and fortunately enough Shigaraki as well. During that gap of attention, I summoned another steel bar, though this time I did not throw the thing.

Overload: 100%

[+5000% temporary physical strength]

[Energy Replenishment has activated]

HG: This steel bar will pierce Noumu's heart

This time I stepped onto the ground, hard. Cracking the ground I stomped on, my body flies forward towards my landing destination, the Noumu.

This spear is the spear that shall pierce your heart. Take this! Gay Bulge!

With a satisfying yet nauseating 'chunk' sound my so-called 'spear' pieced through the heart of the Noumu. I let out a small smile. This is how the battle ends. How my heydays within My Hero Academia ends. Now the only thing left to do is wait for the point rewards to come, upgrade Dimension Travel and leave into a whole new world.

At least those were my thoughts before my organs ruptured.

My body was slammed onto the ground from some unknown force. Without a pause, I instantly rolled away pathetically in self-preservation. It was instinctual rather than any show of intelligence, and thankfully the act saved my life, as there is a large crater where my body previously lied. That hit would have definitely knocked me out if not outright killed me.

The one who attacked me was… The Noumu. The thing was still alive, even after having both its head and heart pierced. As if a display of might it began to rip out the steel bar stuck onto is head, along with a show of pouring brain fluid.

I would have noted the fact as gross, were it not for the fact this is a terrible crisis for me right now. I am still holding my guts with one had in pain, and seem to have royally pissed off the gigantic Noumu with my previous deeds. The thing was solely targeting me, ignoring Todoroki and Bakugo who were starting to draw closer.

…Fuck, the thing is impossible for me to defeat. The best I could do would be to stall and wait for reinforcement to come.

"Shiga-chan, where the hell did you found this monster from?"

"That is the oldest trick in the book dumbass. Noumu, kill that brat."

Heh, guess it won't be that easy. Wouldn't be fun otherwise would it? But I still have one plan left.

As the Noumu leaped at me, I willed for my DS to summon me something sturdy once more. This time what appeared was not a random steel bar, but rather a blade. To be specific it was the katana I looted from Hero-Killer Stain.

[+5000% temporary physical strength]

[Energy Replenishment has activated]

HG: This katana will cut the Noumu in half.

"OVERLOAD 100%: SLASH!"

With that attack, the Noumu was split in half, but I knew such an attack still won't kill the artificial sandbag. I instantly stood up and retreated from my position back to where Todoroki and Bakugo are.

But before I managed to reach them a hand grabbed my head. Shigaraki… Ah, is this how I will die? Having my head disintegrate from Shigaraki's Quirk? I closed my eyes, yet n seconds passed and nothing happened.

"Eraserhead…"

Ah, Aizawa must have saved me with his quirk.

[+5000% temporary physical strength]

[Energy Replenishment has activated]

A kick towards Shigaraki. It was once again blocked by the hand of the Noumu, who was starting to regenerate from his wounds again. What a crazy piece of sandbag we have here. Nevertheless my kick was enough to blow him back a dozen meters or so, allowing me to escape from Shigaraki's hold in the meantime.

I retreated towards Bakugo and Todoroki, who were finishing up the rest of the villains. As they say, there is power in numbers. Well, I am sure these two would be helpless against the Noumu as well, but they can at least help me buy some time until All Might and the rest arrive.

"Tch, the hell is that thing!"

"It is called a Noumu, an artificial sandbag made as an antithesis to defeat All-Might."

I answered Bakugo before looking at my other ally.

"Todoroki-san, could you manage to freeze that thing in its entirety if I were to distract it?"

"…It is worth a try."

I nodded in affirmation before looking at the Noumu. It was rushing towards us bull-headedly without any tactics, not even trying to avoid his fellow villain who stood in his path, directly crushing them without any hesitation on his way to us.

Crapsack.

OverLoad 50%

[+2500% temporary physical strength]

A cut with my katana left him with one arm, though not for long considering its high-speed regeneration. I ducked and activated Overload at a 50% mark again.

[+2500% temporary physical strength]

[Energy Replenishment has activated]

With a sweeping cut, I injured both its legs, cutting off one entirely. Five uses of Energy Replenishment left.

"Now, Todoroki-san!"

"Understood."

Saying those simple words Todoroki let out his palm, summoning a huge wave of ice from the ground, enveloping the sandbag—I mean Noumu.

"…Is it over?"

For god's sake Bakugo those are the exact words you must avoid during these kinds of conditions.

As if taking those words as a cue cracks began accumulating at the ice enveloping the Noumu. Tch, guess a finale won't be that easy would it. Fine by me, let us play this out a bit more carefully then. I took out a large boulder from within my DS.

OverLoad 50%

[+2500% temporary physical strength]

And threw it into the sky.

HG: This rock will hit the villain jamming the electrowave signal.

"Huh? Have you finally lost your mind?" Shigaraki spoke in ridicule.

"Kaminari, try your freaking call for reinforcement again! The interrupter should have been dealt with!"

I do not know whether the boy took my words seriously and has no time to care anyway, considering the Noumu broke out from his shackles of ice already. Now how am I supposed to keep this sandbag busy again? Even cutting the thing in half will only keep it occupied for a dozen seconds at most so damaging it was useless, and I have no idea how to do any form of close-quarter combat involving grabs and locks so the option was out as well.

…Fuck it, time for an all-out attack.

Overload: 50% Constanta

[+2500% temporary physical strength]

[Energy Replenishment has activated]

With blade in hand, I slashed towards the Noumu with nine attacks, using up all the free stamina from five Energy Replenishment. Thankfully that means I still have my normal 100% stamina which I left just in case this attack fails.

The Noumu was split into multiple parts from the attacks, body mangled to the point it was not humanoid in form anymore.

"Todoroki, tell me you still have some fuels left!"

However, no response came from the boy of ice and fire. Instead, I felt tremendous pain within my heart. Looking downwards there was a blade sticking out through my chest.

"W-who…"

"Been a while, kid."

Hero-Killer Stain. Shit why the hell is he here. It has only been a few days since I captured the man; don't tell me someone busted him up moments after the capture was finished. Did Shigaraki and Kurogiri manage to bust him out and recruit him into their midst so quickly?

"K-Kuzuno!"

Someone screams out my name. Ah, this is not good. The guy managed to pierce through my chest with his blade. Said blade looks very similar to his old one, which is still held within my hand. Rather funny to hold the old weapon of your killer while dying huh.

My consciousness grew faint, and soon enough I will die by this attack.

Pathetic.

Oi, struggle some more, Kuzuno.

You still have to make sure you will die with no regret.

Regret.

Do I regret making this choice?

To fight against the Noumu hastily rather than waiting for reinforcements to come.

…No

Even though it was a mistake, I do not regret it

Even if it ends with my death, I do not regret it

In this life filled with regret, I cannot let my death be something regretful. That alone I will not accept.

I smiled.

In the end, this was my only path, is it not…

This is my self-preservation

This is my self-justification

This is my justice

[…]

[One's Own Justice has activated]

I see. So this is what the Skill does.

"Ku- Kuhahahaha!"

"What the… How the hell are you still alive?"

[Remaining Time: 9:55]

Oh, have to hurry. I only have ten minutes for revenge before I am permanently dead.

"Time for some revenge, Hero-Killer."

I put on a smile on my lips.

"Overload: 100% Constanta!"

[+1000% temporary strength]

The Skill effect was much weaker thanks to the penalty of One's Own Justice. However even that much was more than enough. A constant eleven times multiplier to strength is more than adequate to defeat Hero-Killer Stain and even the Noumu, long as I still have a sharp weapon in hand.

I slashed towards the Noumu. And again, and again, and again. I hacked the thing into pieces so small a dog could eat it. Even after that, I stomped onto the ground where traces of its body were left. I stomped and stomped and stomped.

"You… WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU?!"

I snapped my neck towards the screaming Stain.

"Just a person who knows far too much for his own good."

"Overload 100%: Slash."

Like that the Hero-Killer went down without a fight, head decapitated from his body.
