Chapter 31

"Now, where was I?" Tomura asked as he tossed Kumagawa's body to the side. "That's one dead kid, time to add to my kill count."

"TOMURA!" came a warning shout from Kurogiri.

The white-haired Villain turned just in time to see Noumu protectively extend his arm as a screw stabbed through its hand.

[Ta-da! It's All-Fiction! My destruction is now undone!] cheered Kumagawa as he kicked off Noumu's arm and landed a few yards away. Another set of screws appeared in his hands upon his landing. [You seem to fancy games Tomura-san. As it turns out, I have the Unlimited Lives cheat active!]

Tomura was on guard as he glared at the utterly average-looking boy standing across from him. He was brandishing a pair of over-sized screws as improvised weapons. And despite just having his head reduced to mush, he was smiling like nothing had happened. 'I swear I just killed this scrub. What's going on?'

"K-Kumagawa! You're alive?!" shouted Midoriya.

[As a matter of fact I am. Why, did you think I was dead?]

Aizawa along with the other students let out a collective sigh of relief. They had forgotten that he has an illusion Quirk. He just made it look like he was killed to get a drop on the Villain's.

[Because for a moment there I actually was!] Kumagawa said with a smile. [But as I said before, I'm quite the resilient person. Not even death can stop me!]

"W-what? But wasn't that just an illusion?" asked a worried Mineta.

Kumagawa shrugged. [Like I said, who knows. Either way, it seems that I have three opponents to deal with now. Time for a boss rush!] he said as he returned his attention to the Villain's. [I must say Tomura-san, your Quirk is quite the dangerous one. It reminds me of the ability of a girl I know. However your Quirk pales in comparison to her ability.]

Elsewhere in Japan Rainbow Rose, more commonly known as Emukae Mukae, sneezed.

"So you have unlimited lives huh?" mused Tomura. "That just means I have to keep thrashing you until you decide to give up and go do some more grinding. Noumu." he ordered.

The beast of a man ripped the screw out of its hand and tossed it aside. Moments later the wound began to quickly repair itself.

[I see.] Kumagawa said with a smirk. [A self-healing based Quirk. Interesting...] he observed as his smirk turned into more of a sneer, his eyes narrowing and darkening. [An opponent who can actually withstand what I can throw at them... How lucky I am~.]

"Kill him."

Noumu lurched forward with inhuman speed, its hand outstretched to crush Kumagawa's head in its grasp. The teen seemed to disappear for a moment before reappearing at the beasts flank with a screw impaled in its side. The artificial human swung its arms outwards in an attempt to backhand Kumagawa across the room, only to be met with another screw stabbing through its hand.

[A mindless beast that is utterly incapable of reading an opponents attacks... A homunculus of sorts that has no sense of self-preservation. It's almost like they gave you this weakness on purpose.] Kumagawa taunted as he continued to dance around the massive creature.
