The Villainess's Journey To Heroism

Chapter 6: Someone Else's Quirk

Eijiro went to check on Izuku’s legs, but Pro Hero Cementoss stopped him, preventing the young man from seeing All Might’s weakened form.  He sent Eijiro to gather his classmates by the exit.

But before he did, he went to check on Hina.

“Knock knock,” he said, rapping on the door.

“The door isn’t locked,” Hina responded, and Eijiro entered.

“How have you been?” he asked, his voice filled with concern.

“I’m fine now. They said I just need to rest a bit and I’ll be fine,” she answered, her gaze fixed on the window.

Kirishima sat on the chair near her.  “You were amazing back there, Hina, facing off a villain alone.”

“Well, people grow from experience,” she whispered to herself, a wistful smile playing on her lips.

“What?” he asked, leaning in closer, his curiosity piqued.

“You were amazing too,” she smiled at him, her eyes sparkling.

“I swear I heard you say something else,” he said, his brow furrowed.

“Really now?” she laughed, her voice light and carefree.

“I still don’t get it, Hina. That magic you told me about before,” he recalled, his voice filled with a mixture of curiosity and confusion.

“Wanna hear a secret?” she asked, a mischievous glint in her eyes.

“I mean, if you’re okay with telling me,” Kirishima said hesitantly.

“I wasn’t born here. I’m born in another world where magic exists instead of Quirks. Magic is similar to a Quirk, except magic is like a container existing in one’s body, with many different shapes or sizes depending on the person.  That container can be emptied out by using magic and be restored in many ways. And magic can be wielded into anything one wishes,” she explained.

“Now you made it more confusing,” he complained, his face scrunched up in confusion.

“Did I?” she laughed, her eyes twinkling.

“But if Quirks don’t exist there and Quirks work genetically, how come you have a Quirk when you’re born in a different world?” he questioned, his voice filled with genuine curiosity.  The question made her pause, a thoughtful expression crossing her face.

“And if that’s how it works, then why did you tell me before that you can’t use much of your magic?” he added, his voice full of wonder.

“The Quirk I have now is altering with my magic, causing me to use only a bit,” she answered, still pondering his first question.

Before Eijiro could respond, someone opened the door, catching their attention.

“Kirishima, Hina, they said to gather outside. I’ll be expecting you too in a minute,” Iida said before leaving them alone.

“Well, we better get going,” she suggested, standing up.

“Need some help?” he asked, offering his hand.

“No, thank you,” she replied, her smile warm and genuine.

Later That Night

“All For One, I need answers,” Hina said, her voice firm and determined, as she spoke into her phone.

“That’s rare. You never called me by that name before,” the voice on the other end of the line answered, a hint of amusement in his tone.

“Do you still remember where or who you took this Quirk from?” she asked directly, her gaze unwavering.

“I didn’t expect you to confront me this way,” he answered calmly, his voice smooth and controlled.

“All For One, I need answers,” she repeated, her voice unwavering.

“Tomura told me he encountered you at UA with your new friends. Tell me—”

Hina didn’t let him finish.  She cut off the call and went back to her home.  As soon as she got home, she closed the door and went to the bathroom.  She then entered the bathtub.

“I promised myself that I’ll be better, so she can be proud of calling me her sister, but…Erza, is it wrong of me using a Quirk I know that one died for? Was it a mistake staying beside a villain? Do I deserve this chance that was given to me?” she pondered, closing her eyes as she let herself drown in the bathtub.

“Of course it’s not, princess,” a lady’s voice said from outside the bathroom.

“Virgo, who tf let you out?!” Hina yelled as Virgo opened the bathroom door.

“I used my own magic to open my gate,” Virgo replied, unbothered, as she undressed.  “Besides, I wanna tell you that you deserve every chance given to you. They believe you can change, that’s why the stars chose you,” she added, entering the bathtub and sighing.

“Wow, I didn’t know you could speak that way, Vir,” Hina exclaimed, her surprise evident.

“Did I do well? Are you going to punish me?” Virgo asked, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

“Hell no!!” Hina yelled at her, her voice filled with amusement.

——————————————————

“Hina, can you reassure me that you’re not a spy?” Principal Nezu asked her seriously, his eyes fixed on her.

“Yes, I’m not a spy. I promise,” she reassured him, her voice sincere.

Principal Nezu sighed before saying, “I trust you.”

“Thank you, Mr. Principal,” she bowed, and was about to go out of the room when she spotted something hanging on the wall, golden keys.

“Do you own those keys, Mr. Principal?” she asked, her curiosity piqued.

“Yes, though I don’t know what those keys are for,” he responded, his voice laced with a hint of confusion.

“Will you let me buy them from you? 500,000?” she offered, her eyes sparkling with determination.

“Ow, my…for both of them?” he asked, looking surprised as she nodded in response.

“How about you tell me what they are for, why you want them, and maybe I’ll lower the price,” he suggested, a playful twinkle in his eyes.

She smiled before replying, “Instead of telling you, how about I show you?”

Hina walked up to the golden keys and took one before walking near the principal.

“I am connected to the celestial spirit world. Open gate of the twins Gemini,” she chanted, and two blue little creatures appeared.

“Piri, piri,” they spoke in unison.

“These are golden celestial keys that summon spirits accordingly using magic. These keys have the spirit of the twins, which has the ability to change forms,” she explained.

“Interesting…so the other one has the spirit of the Goat, Capricorn,” the principal stated, his voice filled with a mixture of curiosity and intrigue.

“Exactly,” she confirmed, her smile widening.

“Alright, you can get them for free since you’re the only one who can benefit from this, and I trust you.  Use them wisely, okay?” he said, his voice warm and reassuring.

“Thank you, Mr. Principal. I owe you one or two,” she exclaimed, taking the other key and keeping it with the other keys she had.

“Don’t worry about it. Consider this as my welcome gift for you, young Hina.”

Hina bowed before turning around.  She was about to open the door when she looked back at him and said, “One more thing, I’m possibly older than you.”  Then she left, leaving the principal to wonder about what she meant.

Hina stepped out of the office and looked at the little brown waist bag that contained four golden keys: Capricorn, Virgo, Gemini, and Taurus.  Her heart filled with a mixture of excitement and anticipation, she knew that her journey in this new world was just beginning.
