Sincere Affection (Various!My Hero Academia x Reader)

Pushing Past the Limits

(Y/N)'s P.O.V.

The mood shift caused by the water returning to its normal state as we walked through the shallow edge of the zone, along with the fact that the villains no longer could be much of a threat due to being stuck together, was just as jarring as any mood shift I had seen before. My nerves still need some time to calm down, and then I'll be at my normal dose again...

My Charm had already gone down a few notches from my own attempt at getting it to lower itself, but the rest needed to be taken care of by my own body. Man, if I wanna use this without others knowing, I'll need to better my control more...

I was glad, though, that the mood shift did seem to help my classmates snap out of their trances caused by Charm.

Now, if I assumed correctly, the three of them wouldn't find anything strange about what had happened on the ship.

They wouldn't bring anything up, unless under another Charm-induced trance, and if they did happen to talk about it, it'd be very basic, and probably lack a lot of the details of what went on. Well, except for Midoriya, since he's the only one of the three to be exposed to me for years, and thus, has built up a... tolerance? Is that the right word? A tolerance to low doses?

I wasn't really sure on what happened to other people after snapping out of a trance, since it seemed like no one really noticed anything weird afterwards; this made it strange that (F/N) was able to clearly remember everything he had seen and felt when I tried to use my Quirk against him, since, after going over all prior knowledge about the topic, it would be more in line for him to not remember anything at all.

This made me question whether knowing about Charm affected a person's ability to recall what happened.

It was just another thing I wouldn't get any answers about, until I was able to muster up the courage to inform another person about it, and perhaps get (F/N) to get them to agree to be test subjects for me. I can't ask them myself, for obvious reasons...

The only thing I was already sure of was that, apparently, the lower the dose of Charm, the more the affected person is able to recall by themselves, or sometimes with a few reminders.

This was mostly discovered through inspecting previous instances of me using Charm on other people.

Usually, I only put people into loose trances to calm them down, but there were a few moments where I amplified it.

Most people had subconscious memories about the events that happened while under a Charm-induced trance, which were able to be brought up with a few reminders, but the few people who were put into deeper trances seemed to have trouble remembering anything super specific about the events that took place.

That led to the question of what would happen if I were able to use my Charm to its fullest power. A total wipe of their memories, where they aren't, and never will be, able to remember anything that happened?

It was scary to think about being around people who were unable to think for themselves.

And where I was the one thinking for them.

It should be obvious that I haven't tried to use anything close to my maximum power yet, and I didn't even know how much power that would be. Or the toll it would take on my body, because if all of the side-effects I experience normally with the use of my power are also amplified greatly... yeesh, I'd be more cooked than a chicken during a holiday dinner!

"Heh, I had a good poop this morning, which makes my balls stickier," Mineta said, letting out a small laugh as I simply glanced over to him, watching as he was being dragged by his scarf by Asui, "They're not going anywhere."
