[02]: Met Your Match

You release the knife from a holster on your thigh and you run forward.

In a fraction of a second, you skid across the opening and you duck under Lion's airborne body, using your knife to cut a deep slit into his throat.

You lacerate his vital arteries and in the same manoeuvre, you swing on top of him, pushing his body down to the ground, and you leave him there.

You stand over him with your legs strong and wide. And just for the fuck of it, you kick him in the ribs.

"Fuck you, kitty cat. Say a prayer."

Then, you turn around, your eyes try to rip the situation apart. But you knew that while you were in this mode, while there was this many erratic students going berserk all around you, you couldn't possibly begin to make sense of what was really going on.

You had to drop your quirk and asses it all again in a few seconds. Allow everybody to make the moves they were just about to make.

And so you disengage your quirk.

Everything resumes to its fullest all-consuming intensity. Screams rip through the air, the students are running and gathering themselves. You look towards Lion, to see him still on the floor even after it was back to real time. The girl in front of him takes her next step with her life intact, completely unaware of the danger she had just been in.

"JIROU! WATCH O-"

You turn your head slightly to the right to see the green haired boy who had just yelled out, but cut himself off. He was reaching for the girl who you had just saved, and he looked like he had seen a ghost. His eyes lock on to yours, and terror takes over.

You were standing right where he had just seen Lion leaping for his classmate, and in the blink of an eye, Lion was dead on the floor, the classmate walked off without even noticing you standing beside her, and you were standing right in front of the boy's face.

"You-"

He stutters, his hand shaking out in front of him. He looks down at the bloody knife you were wielding.

"You saved her?!"

"No?"

The sound of an air slash catches your attention, and you turn to where the sound had come from, only to spot Hallow running out of the same building that Lion had just emerged from.

The green hair boy turns to him, and green lightening starts to circle around his body. "IIDA, BEHIND YOU!"

He takes a step towards your teammate that was a few metres away, holding out his hands with rage evident on his face. He was bending the air and was about to attack the tall boy who had his back turned.

"Fucking imbeciles."

You engage your quirk again without really thinking about it.

You dart behind him, bringing your back to his back and you reach backwards over your right shoulder, wrapping your hands around his head, and you pull him forward. The strength and advantage that your quirk gave you in this situation was exactly what made it so easy for you to flip him over you, and snap his neck in the process.

You guide his body down onto the ground, and you pat the side of his face. It had still not even registered his own death yet. Your power was an eerie thing, at times.

He was dead, yet the life was still in his eyes.

You stand up, disengage your quirk again, and notice the tall man you just saved swinging around towards you with a jet-powered roundhouse kick.
