S:THMH 17 Control

Shindo shrugged, "He can read it when he comes back; the rest of us are curious now!"

Mirko: Well he's not coming back.

"Fine, let's just do this." Kohaku projected Nezu's email up on the wall. "Now pay attention everyone."

Dear Students,

Congratulations on surviving the first day of the exercise! I and the other faculty are proud of your efforts thus far and are looking forward to seeing how you stop the villains in the coming days. Good Luck!

Midnight: ...Should we be worried that Midoriya managed to make this sound exactly like something Nezu would write?

Aizawa: Probably.

Kyoka had no idea what she was doing, but she wasn't about to admit that. So what if One for All had given her an entirely new ability that she hadn't even considered. That didn't mean she had to freak out... much. Now that she had a minute to relax, the significance of what she'd just done was hitting her like a truck. She'd just controlled people, like straight up played their emotions like a guitar. It was as cool as it was terrifying, and now she had less than a week to master her new ability, all while pretending to be a villain, going after objectives, and somehow making All Might and Gran Torino proud. Wonderful.

Gran Torino: Don't stress it too much. A lot of things are easier to do when you don't worry.

Jirou: Easier said than done.

She had currently found an empty apartment to hide in. It didn't have any furniture, but it didn't have neighbors either, which meant that there was nobody around to turn her in. She'd learned her lesson about that the hard way. She was also getting hungry, but even with her new ability, getting groceries would be a challenge. So far, every time she'd used her emotion control, she'd ended up having to make a run for it and that was going to be fairly difficult with a bunch of bags. The speakers had been hard enough, she did not want to try that with eggs.

Spinner: Yeah those are going to be really messy.

She froze when she heard footsteps out on her balcony. Nobody even knew she was here and she couldn't think of any other reasons that someone would be traipsing across balconies. Was it a hero coming to arrest her? She got into a fighting stance and stared down the curtains until they started moving, and then stabbed blindly with her earphone jacks.

Midoriya: ...It's us isn't it?

Shinso: Yup.

Whoever was on the other side of the curtain grabbed them both and started wrapping them around his hand as he walked into the room. Midoriya was grinning as he emerged from the curtain, "So you could hear us coming! I was starting to wonder if you'd lied about your quirk."

Kyoka tried to yank her earphone jacks out of Midoriya's grasp, but he was holding on tight. Shinso just looked bored as he pushed aside the curtain and walked inside, "Aw, is that anyway to greet your old friend?"

Monoma: You're not friends yet.

Kyoka narrowed her eyes suspiciously, "I thought you said we were enemies during this exercise."

"Well, yeah, but that doesn't mean we can't form alliances." Midoriya said, taking a closer look at her earphone jacks, "For example, we don't want to get on the wrong end of these and you need help with quirk control."

Kyoka stopped, "How... how did you know that?"

Toga: He hacked the cameras!

"We know a lot of things." Shinso gave her a teasing smile. "So... new quirk development or did you just not practice?"

Kyoka raised her chin stubbornly, "I'm not sure what you're talking about."

Suddenly, her brain went foggy and Shinso's smile went wide, "Relax."

Shinso: Wait can I do that?

Midoriya: Make people relax? Probably.

Vlad: Another thing to test when we get back.

Shinso: Why am I learning so much more about my quirk from weird books of other worlds than from the first fifteen years of my life?

All the tension left her body before she even had a chance to realize what was happening. Midoriya let go of her earphone jacks and he and Shinso exchanged knowing glances. It was only a few seconds and then her brain cleared as Shinso dropped his control.

"I'm talking about that." Shinso looked almost nervous, but covered it with a small smirk. "Although, I'm betting yours works a little differently."

Jirou: Oh he thinks I'll be mad at him for mind controlling me.

Tsu: A lot of people would be mad, ribbit.

"You..." Kyoka was a little breathless. "You can control people too."

"And you need help figuring out how to do that better," Midoriya said. "So what do you say? Truce?"

Kyoka frowned, "What do you get out of it?"

Inko: Izuku really likes quirks.

Shinso rolled his eyes, "Izuku really likes quirks."

Midoriya chuckled awkwardly, "Guilty. Um, I just really want to know more about how your quirk works."

Kyoka sighed, "You and me both."

Tetsutetsu: Aw it ends there.

Jana: You'll get back there eventually.
