As the petrification quirk's light spread across the world the majority of people with quirks were completely caught off guard. There was no warning for this as well as no real means to admit escape from it as well. It did not matter how fast you could run as even if you managed to outrun the light coming from one direction. Because it was one quirk shared unknowingly by four people. Those that tried running from the light on their corner of the world only managed to run into the light coming from another.

Escaping underground or underwater was not that much of an option either the light spread in all direction including downward. Thus anyway that tried at method merely just came a statue that would eventually be buried or lying on the bottom of a body of water. Those in the basement were affected as no different than anyone else.

Thus with that tactic taken away from some with a power that canceled out quirks thought that whatever was happening was the result of a quirk. With quick thinking merely tried to cancel it out with their own. That failed in the most part as one would have to block from four different directions at once. Not something that many could do with some kind of support item or assistance.

That exactly how the Shota Aizawa a.k.a The Erasure Hero: Eraser Head managed to avoid being petrified himself. It was tested that was being run in regards to seeing if his quirk's ability truly had to be limited to merely what was merely within his field of view. The creators of this invention were apparently on a similar level as someone like Mei Hatsume when it came to talent. Though did not share her personality or character trait.

Eraser Head would have normally just rejected the offer but was roped in because they used Eri against him. It was known to them that her quirk was used to create something that could seemingly full cancel out another Quirk. It was basically the next step in Aizawa's own quirk it seemed as after being able temporarily to turn off a quirk came doing it for good.

Of course, they claimed that was not their intent to follow in the footsteps of what Overhaul was doing as that was going one step too far. Merely a means to temporarily disable a quirk only was their goal…..their stated goal at least. As a result, it was decided by the Pro Heroes at U.A that he would take part in the testing as they would have their hands tied if the parent company tried anything to get Eri for themselves.

As Overhaul was not the only one interested in having the ability to negate quirks without need to use another one. Though protecting her as Pro Heroes meant they had done it in a method that was different than what was thought of as a traditional one. Being a Pro Hero at the end of the day was merely a job that one could acquire. It was just a profession no different than that of a cop, teacher, doctor, etc. The people of those professions and even everyday people could be and still were heroes but they were not Pro Heroes. It was complicated as the line between hero and Pro Hero has become blurred but the spirit was mostly persevered when it was most needed.

Thus though they were taking this group on directly they were doing it the way Pro Heroes do when confronted with someone that is not a villain or considered safe because they are in the moral gray area of things.

None of that though really mattered at this point as Eraser Head's intention to use them to as much as they had planned on doing the same. Ended up working in his favor and though he had to fight his way out of the area. Shockingly enough all of them were quirkless basically with only a few even having a quirk at all. Though that also played to his advantage as he realized this quickly enough that he did not need to use his quirk on them. Which he had seemed to reach his limit for thanks to the testing they did. Aizawa than thought about just heading back to U.A to not just check in on Eri but also to see if anyone else other than him somehow managed to avoid getting petrified.

As for those that he had managed to escape from and why they did not come after him. They could not as a plane crashed into the building bringing it down on top of them all.
