Akemi stared down at the creature. Her eyes flicker behind her hand her heart twisted when Aizawa-sensei's mangled but still breathing body appeared in the corner of her vision. But she had to focus.

This amount of energy... That's almost Toshinori-san's level.

She kept her eye on the dark-skinned creature as the energy that kept flowing into her suddenly increased. She recoiled and the electricity around her spiked, the Nomu twitched violently and screeched.

This thing...

This thing's got no Astral Energy.

She gritted her teeth as the Hand villain, Shigaraki she thinks, moved. She jolted back and with the energy from the Nomu, blasted him back before narrowly avoiding that bird's fist. A sharp gesture sends the Nomu flying back with telekinesis, slamming into the mist guy.

"Izuku, go grab Aizawa-sensei!" She called out, landing lightly, "I can hold them off for now. Their quirks work on energy. I can counter it!"

"Akemi—"

She whipped around, "NOW!"

The thing slammed a punch in her side. She absorbed the shock and sent it right back at it. The Nomi stumbled and Akemi slammed her hands to the ground.

Against real villains...

Three real villains...

I'll have to break the rules.

Sorcery: FORBIDDEN MOVE- 1

OVERDRIVE


Izuku wheeled around to look as a blood-curdling scream rang out from behind him. And for one moment, the world stilled.

The trees died. The grass rotted into nothing and even the wind was gone. The light turned dim and the air was cold. He felt light, as if gravity isn't working correctly and the sounds all around him silence. He couldn't even talk.

He could feel the vibrations, but nothing came out. He couldn't walk. He can feel that he's using strength but his body just isn't moving.

Then he could move again and he started with horror.

Akemi.

'When I lose control...'

'I become a black hole of energy.'

Light swirled around her. Electricity crackled as she lifted off the floor, the villains collapsed, barely sitting up as frost spread across the ground— heat energy gone from the air. The wind swirled around her and she suddenly crashed onto the ground. The only thing standing around her being herself and the Nomu.

Then she leapt back and stood on the water, which froze upon contact before exploding, overcharged with kinetic energy. They glowed golden and arranged themselves in thin, feather-like shards behind her, in the shape of...

"Wings." Tsuyu-chan spoke, "she made herself wings."

Izuku could only stare on with shock as Akemi panted slightly, before more trees died and she straightened, suddenly energised again.

"Ooh, I've wanted to try this for a long time." Her voice is amplified. As she grinned and rose a hand. Electricity crackling. "Now what, Shigaraki? Can you fight something that can recharge themselves whenever they get tired?"

This...

This. Is the true potential of Sorcery.

And this moment, Izuku can see precisely how dangerous Akemi can be.


Akemi isn't tired.

In fact. She can't get tired. Not when she is draining gravity in to replenish herself and her mental strength like that. She stretched her wings wide, and with a wide arc she slammed them down and the ice shards flew towards the Nomu.

She leapt off the ground, a hand reaching out to take away the monster's energy as it prepared to dodge, the ice slammed into it, shattering into snow and Akemi followed. Skating blades slamming into its abdomen, overpowered by kinetic energy which isn't charged into herself but her movements to prevent harming herself.

Sorcery: Overdrive

The skill to feed her quirk via draining all energy available around her, and by overfeeding it, it would allow her to use all of her skills at the same time.

Akemi twirled around and tapped the Nomu, charging its body with her energy, ripping it from its position then tossing her across the ground and into the fountain. Shigaraki recovered and leapt for her, but she whipped a hand out and the snow turned into water, encasing the villain's body, leaving only his head untouched before she froze him, draining the heat away from the water.

"What the heck... What is going on here..." The man almost whined, like a child. "Nomu, beaten by an NPC? Impossible..." He growled and she shivered slightly. "Nomu... Kill her."

The thing leapt towards her, she recoiled back, the ground rising at her command to protect her, and she screamed.


Izuku was checking Aizawa-sensei's pulse when Akemi screamed.

"Akemi?!" He whirled around; the girl is holding her left arm tightly, trembling as blood seeped from red splotched skin.

"If I lose control..."

"I'll become a ticking time bomb."

A slip of concentration. That's all it took. Akemi held the broken skin of her left arm as it glowed slightly, using bio-electricity to speed up the healing process. The red rashed faded slightly and then disappeared. But Izuku realised with a jolt it's implications.

Having been researching her quirk with Akemi for months, he knows for a fact that it's incredibly hard to control. It required precise focus and concentration.

And the next slip up, it might not be just her skin.

It might be her arm. Her hand her leg or her...

Her entire body.

He recognised this skill, of course. They thought of it together. Overdrive, Akemi named it. Incredibly risky and draining, but still the safest out of the three forbidden moves.

However...

This skill carries a massive whiplash, and if misused, might cost her her life.

Izuku trembled, and watched, as Akemi rose her hand again, wobbly, and the Nomu leapt for her.

A crash sounded.

The Nomu stopped. Akemi looked up, face twisted with focus.

"IT'S ALRIGHT NOW."

"WHY?"

All Might.

"Because I Am Here."

He isn't smiling.

Akemi's eyes widened.

She fell.


Now you get what the wings on the cover image means.
