Chapter 124: copycat tryna cop my manner

I snuck up behind the boy.

He seemed so distracted he didn't even seem to notice I was there.

We were on a ledge on the side of a building, he was cornered.

I lunged forward and twisted his arms behind his back, pushing him to the floor.

He yelped and struggled pretty harshly.

'That was... a bit too easy...'

"No! Midoriya!" He yelled and I quirked my head.

'Why would he be yelling for-'

I looked up to see a mass of black inky tendrils that stretched outwards like cracks from a bullet hole through glass.

In the center of it was Midoriya.

He seemed to be in quite a bit of pain as he slowly rose to the sky, black ribbons flying off his body uncontrollably.

I look down at the purple-haired boy who looks more distraught about the broccoli boy than the fact I had him pinned.

'Ugh, fine!'

I let him go.

"What happened?!" I ask hurriedly and Shinso looks panicked.

"S-something's wrong with Midoriya's quirk," he grit his teeth. "Uraraka is up there with him!"

I flick my eyes over and sure enough I can make out flecks of pink from a distance.

"How the hell...?" I muttered incredulously.

Midoriya's quirk wasn't one to produce anything, was it?

As far as I knew he had enhanced strength and speed and that was it, simple, the end.

'So how the hell...?'

I whipped my head around and finally spotted one of those black tendrils that was in reach.

I grabbed it and tried to manipulate it in any way.

"No way..." I stepped away in disbelief.

'I can't do shit to this material...!'

I bite at my lip, looking around for any potential solution. It seemed both teams would be at a truce until then.

Then it hit me.

"Shinso-!" "Shinso!" Ochako's voice carried over as she screamed.

"Use your quirk! Help Deku!"

The boy takes off his voice modulator mask and takes a deep breath.

"Midoriya!" he yells.

"Stop playing around and fight me!"

It was... an interesting thing to say.

But it worked, as Midoriya yelled back in response.

It was just one syllable, forced from his lips as his body contorted in pain.

"YEAH!"

And just like that, the black ropes froze.

Then they began to fly back towards Deku.

They spun and spiraled until none of them remained.

Thankfully, Ochako being there meant she was able to help the catatonic boy slowly float to the ground.

The worst was over.

'What the hell was that...?!'

As the pair landed, Shinso released his hold on Midoriya and I watched as the sakura mochi coloured pair fuss over each other's wellbeing.
