Genius Yet Insane

Chapter 10: The Prince and Rebel

Eri and Kota stood across from each other which Kota asked, "You are the Fox?"

Eri asked, "You are Humility?"

Kota said, "Answer me first, why are you a rebel? I actually see you as a friend."

Eri said, "I will not speak to Humility, but I will speak to Kota Izumi."

Kota sighed, "We have to find a better hiding spot before we continue this conversion."

Eri nodded which they went to a secluded warehouse which Kota and Eri found a spot to talk, which she asked, "How did you become a prince?"

Kota said, "The emperor found me and saved me, which I agreed with his ideal and offered to help him. He took me in and gave me multiple quirks, which I go to school like a normal teen to have a some what normal life like everyone else."

Eri nodded which Kota asked, "How did you become the Fox?"

Eri said, "I was rescued by None for All before he was None for All... his real name was Izuku Midoriya. He saved me but he was lost, and he created the quirk None for All which took control of him. I want to save him like he saved me by rewinding his mind back to when he was Izuku Midoriya."

Kota sighed, "You think rewinding his mind back to Izuku will help the world... I mean he is fighting for what's right."

Eri looked at him, "What?!"

Kota said, "My family died because of heroing, heroes decided to use their quirks to gain popularity and money, villains use their quirks to take whatever they want, and quirks have corrupted society to its core. The real heroes are the police and military, which they should be allowed to use their quirks to keep law and order."

Eri said, "You believe that everyone should give up their quirks, it's like taking away a body part from a person."

Kota said, "Quirks have stopped progress, we could be taking vacations on the moon or have colonies on Mars or even better a cure for cancer. Quirks have been nothing but a danger to the human race, think about All Might and All for One..."

Eri said, "A danger to the human race, that is the most ridiculous thing I have heard of. Quirks have helped us with many things, sure they have stopped us with progress. But we are getting back to progress and learning to live with quirks, quirks are not bad."

Kota said, "Quirks only aid bad intentions and society must be cleansed of the sickness."

Eri in sadness, "You are now sounding like... him."

Kota remembered when she told him the story of Overhaul, Overhaul died in the war from Lemillion. Kota said, "I'm sorry about that... I didn't mean to sound like him."

Eri asked, "Are you going to turn me in?"

Kota said, "Depends if you are going to reveal me to the public."

Eri looked at him to say, "If you don't reveal me then I won't reveal you."

Kota nodded, "I can accept that, but now this is going to be weird."

Eri said, "Yeah... we were such good friends before this..."

Kota asked, "Why can't we continue to be good friends even after this..."

Eri looked at him, "I don't know... but I will give it a shot."

They smiled a little bit and shook hands, which they put on new masks and fought each other to make it look like Eri was going to be captured. Eri then found her escape and she took it. Kota in his muffled voice, "I'll get you next time."
