The Emperor's Dragon

Unexpected Information

"What was that Dark Shadow?!" Tokoyami demanded as soon as he got into a private room. His quirk had been literally hiding in him and had refused to come out since the blue haired management student had glared at them.

"I won't go near that!"

Tokoyami frowned. He had no idea what was going on. "Near what?"

"I'm not going near that quirk killer!" Dark Shadow hissed.

"What?" Deliberately Tokoyami took a deep calming breath. Occasionally, this had happened before. For some reason Dark Shadow would just refuse to do something. He'd had to work it out slowly then, and he'd have to do the same now. "I don't understand what you mean," he said slowly to his quirk.

Sometimes it would be nice if his quirk wasn't sentient, then it would do what he wanted but... that would also mean he missed so much.

"I'm not going near that quirk killer," Dark Shadow repeated.

"What quirk killer?" Tokoyami asked, still being deliberately patient.

"The quirk killer! There were-" Dark Shadow stopped and examined him in the odd way his quirk did sometimes. "You didn't see them, did you?"

Tokoyami shook his head. "I haven't seen anything wrong," he confirmed for his quirk.

It was annoying but sometimes Dark Shadow said he saw things that Tokoyami knew weren't there.

"You didn't see the bodies around him?" Dark Shadow demanded.

Bodies? "You mean the ones you say are around All Might?"

"No!" Dark Shadow hissed. "Bodies! The ones around All Might are alive! These are dead!"

"I didn't see anything," Tokoyami repeated. "Please tell me?" He asked. They'd had a conversation earlier in the year, after their first lesson with All Might. Dark Shadow had wanted to know why no one talked to the other people who were with All Might.

He'd had to reply that there was no one standing with All Might but Dark Shadow had insisted there were eight other people standing there. Nothing he said could convince his quirk of anything else.

"The one with the blue hair," Dark Shadow explained. "The one at the front of the horse, there were bodies around him. Lots of bodies but there were some alive too," his quirk added, seeming confused about that.

Tokoyami said nothing as he waited for his quirk to continue.

"It was different from the one you call All Might. Those were happy to be there. These..." Dark Shadow paused, considering something.

"These?" Tokoyami prompted when nothing more was forthcoming.

"The alive ones seemed happy, even with the bodies," his quirk said. "I don't know what that means," Dark Shadow added.

"Are you saying that Management Student has a quirk like All Might's?" Tokoyami asked carefully. That was really all he could think of. If All Might supposedly had people standing with him and this Mitei Chui had bodies but with some alive, then maybe their quirks were similar. No one really knew what All Might's quirk was beyond super strength and Mitei Chui hadn't shown his quirk, except he had proven he was strong. But he could just be strong because of training.

"Like," Dark Shadow agreed. "But different. He's a quirk killer."

They were back to that. Tokoyami sighed softly and he didn't think he was going to get anything more from his quirk. "He's a management student," he reassured Dark Shadow, "and he's pulled out of the last event, so we won't be near him." That was the best he could do.
