3-In-1 Instant Quirks 4 (My Hero Academia, Villain SI)

"And you're really really really sure that everything's alright?"

"Yes, I'm really alright Nejire-chan. I wanted to call earlier after I escaped but those punks broke my phone and I had to get a new one. It took me way too long to recall your number, luckily I managed to find it written down somewhere."

The reality was that my 'escape' consisted of killing those idiots, using my high-tier Psychometry to find out about any potential criminal connections or pesky connections they had, then tracked down every criminal gang or associate in the city (Thanks [Search Engine]!) as part of my purge.

And once the massive amounts of deaths have been discovered, such a brutal display of vigilante 'justice' would surely dissuade any future criminals from attempting any sort of violent crime in this city.

There would be no further threats to my Nejire.

"I'm glad that you're okay. You know, you know, I was really worried. My parents were worried about me too but they seem happy that you saved me. Oh yeah! How did you get that guy to vomit with that Portal Quirk?"

"I, uh, warped his stomach acid down into his mouth?"

Bullshit at it's finest. It was a smart question to ask.

It's times like these that I remember that, as young as Nejire was, she was a very intelligent girl, which was evident by her genuine passion for learning new and intriguing things.

"Wow! That's really smart! You can do a lot of things with portals, hey, you know, we should practice our Quirks together. I can't use mine without getting really sleepy but, hey, since you're smart I'm sure you can help me out!"

"That's a great idea Nejire-chan. Ah, but, don't sell yourself short. You're very smart and inquisitive. Uh… hey, can I call you back in a bit? Just need to talk to my lawyers-"

"Okay! See you later! I was just thinking about taking a nap now so nighty night!"

It's still evening. Please don't mess with your sleep cycle like that!

Ah, she already hung up.

I smiled fondly and shook my head, chuckling lightly as I flung the latest corpse into the wall.

Killing everyone with Force Chokes got old real quick, but I needed to make my two-hour slaughter session appear as if it's done by the same person. And with my various perception altering and information erasure type Quirks that can even spoof Quirks that pull information out of the flow of time (always hated pre/post-cognitive powers) there's little to no chance of anyone figuring out my identity this time.

No more getting dragged into that cycle of hatred crap!

After doing a little victory jig, I snatched up the Quirks from their corpses in an instant and returned to my penthouse with the same Portal quirk.

Good thing I had the foresight to pick a versatile and powerful Quirk as my registered one. Knowing my own gripes with long travel times, I decided to register Portal as my Quirk and attained an international license specifically for Warp type Quirks.

The western part of the world (like the EU) took a different approach in dealing with Warp type Quirks and had a very attractive incentive program for Warp type Quirk users. Japan, other Asian and African countries were not as encouraging. As a result, most teleportation Quirks were likely lost to the hero vs villain/criminal conflict here, whilst private citizens with these types of Quirks had greater protections and legal job advantages on the other side of the world.

After a few hours of browsing social media and news sites in order to amuse myself with the cluelessness of the public in response to my actions, I prepared a couple of gifts and called Nejire to let her know that I was coming to visit her family.

"While I'm grateful that you have been entertaining our baby girl and saved her today don't you think it's inappropriate for you to continue this… friendship with our Nejire?" Her father, [Wavelength Emitter], was being rather diplomatic about the situation.

"I know that what we are about to request of you will hurt Nejire, but if you do not stop this then we will press charges." Her mother, [Life to Motion], seemed to be absolutely done with my shit. I'm starting to think that Nejire had eroded her patience somehow. It's either that or she's stressed out by her impending doom, indicated by her 'Dead Anime Mom Hairstyle'.

"I assure you that all of my interactions with your daughter Nejire - past, present and future is entirely appropriate and acceptable." I say this while using my [Ideals] Quirk, a powerful S-Rank mental quirk that has permanent effects on the target's beliefs.

Having Nejire in the same room, who was present because her parents wanted to explain to her that I was obviously a perverted child groomer (100% True), made it all the more convenient for me. "I understand that you are worried for your daughter but you should understand that I have nothing but the best intentions for her."

Everyone blinked. It took a few seconds for the Hadou family to have their values rearranged in regards to me specifically.

The main weakness of this Quirk is that it's bloody obvious to any external viewers that I'm brainwashing someone. Thankfully, like most Japanese people, they decided to confront me privately without bringing the police into things.

Not that such efforts would have stopped me from just wiping the memories of the police officers, removing any records of a report being made and meeting the family in the manner I desired later on.

Nejire's parents just saved me half an hour by not filling their daughter's head with silly ideas (all true) about me being a perverted creep.

"Y-yeah, we understand that now. Sorry about that, but hearing that our daughter had a knife to her throat was stressful."

"I admit that I have been overreacting a teensy bit…"

What a caring father and mother! They're kinda cute too… Well, since they're going to be my in-laws I guess it's up to me to be the best son-in-law too.

Like all things, whether it's being a villain or playing a role, it's not in me to be negligent about it.

"Yeah, big bro Peter isn't a bad guy. He's very heroic, you know, and, and, I think he can help me train my Quirk!" The free-spirited girl was already hopping at my side. All of a sudden, she jumped onto my lap and I couldn't help but give the adorable girl her well-deserved headpats.

Meanwhile, I was doing all I could to keep my face from displaying any disturbing smiles, it was difficult to control my immense satisfaction when Najire's parents weren't seeing how wrong this was.

Succeeding in my plans to get a cute waifu? This one sparks joy.

Killing people to get their Quirks? This one does not spark joy.

"I would love to help out. Are you trying to be a Pro-Hero, Nejire-chan?"

"Mn!" She gave me a winning smile and nodded, "I wanna be a hero to children, and, and um, cheer them up!"

Isn't she a bit too young to be thinking about being a hero to those of her age group and below? Well, in any case, I've seen people in the position for worse reasons. I have no problems with supporting her so long as she's happy now, until of course, I become her main source of fulfillment in her life.

"That's a wonderful dream Nejire. Let's work hard together!"

"Yeah!"

Before we got into our Shounen Manga training montage, as always, I had to sort out the logistics, budgets and other relevant arrangements with the important people, her parents. While it would be easy for me to mind control them more… direct manner, that would be tiresome and detrimental to Nejire's home life seeing as I'm more likely to fuck up that way. It's best to just alter their values and beliefs when necessary before dealing with them in a rational manner.

I arranged a schedule and a pick-up point where I would grab Nejire after school for specialized training and further education, in academic terms, life experiences (travelling) and 'bride training'. The future marriage was arranged quite easily and she would be my legal wife in just a month after she turns sixteen.

Nejire was already open to the idea (yay Quirks) and I would be doing my best to ensure that she sees it as the best thing that will ever happen to her.

Her parents owned a small chain of tea and coffee establishments, and as such, I decided to give my future in-laws some money so that they could expand their shops beyond the city of Akita, to the rest of the Akita Prefecture and beyond. I had my lawyers handle the details with them and had used my various Quirks (utility/intelligence types) to provide them better equipment, recipes and advice.

Speaking of further investments, I guess I should put some of my pre-cognitive and intelligence Quirks to work and make even more money. If I'm going to become Japan's biggest harem bastard until I inevitably retire to a farm on an island of my own making, then I'm going to need a hell lot more money and influence than what I currently have, so that no one would be able to act against me until it's too late.

A couple of days later, I continued to shower my new future wife's family with gifts while accelerating the buildup of trust and affection to me with a couple of mental/empathy type Quirks. Once the first phase was complete, I took Nejire to my man-made island to start her training.

"Wow, this place is really pretty. Did you take us to your private island? How much did it cost? Can we drink from those coconuts? Where are we anyway?"

"Haha, calm down Nejire. All in good time. For starters, I'm going to be doing some things to make our training more effective."

"Like what?"

"Well, first of all, I have to tell you the truth of my Quirk. While Portal is a Quirk of mine, it isn't my only Quirk."

"Whoa! So you have multiple Quirks? I know that there are Quirks with composite or dual functions. Is it like that?"

"Not exactly. What you see here, this entire island and everything on it, was made by yours truly using a multitude of Quirks. Observe."

I fired one of my energy cannon combinations out into international waters, then allowed the beam to change directions and split the sky. Using some of my technopathy Quirks I scrambled the electronic records of what had just happened and then used my [Weather Control] Quirk to reverse the placement of the clouds I dispersed.

"Oh my gosh, that's so cool! Big bro is the strongest in the world! You must be stronger than All Might! Can I get another Quirk? How many Quirks do you have? Are all of them so powerful? Where did you even get them? "

"Stronger than All Might? Possibly, I will definitely surpass him soon. I would prefer not to give you another as it's dangerous to hold more than one Quirk. I have well over two hundred thousand Quirks, not all of them are powerful or the most usable, but my ability is to make new and better Quirks out of old ones so that's not an issue. I, uh, got them by pulling them from dead people?"

"Dead people? Did you… kill anyone for their Quirk?"

She didn't so much as look at me with a judgemental expression. It was better to say that she immediately calmed down and focused so that she could react to my answer with all the seriousness that was required.

I rubbed her head lovingly, "You really are a smart girl, asking all the interesting questions. Well, I never actually deliberately murdered someone for their Quirk, but well… let me start from the beginning. First off, I was Quirkless until the day I died."

"Eh?!"

"I don't know what exactly happened but I woke up in a mass grave with a lot of other people. My guess was that my Quirk was always there but I never knew how to activate it. Until I was killed and somehow, one of the people killed along with me had a [Delayed Resurrection] Quirk, which my Quirk automatically took and activated, bringing me back to life. It seemed to be a one-time use Quirk since it was gone from my storage later on. After that, I found I could gain Quirks from dead bodies, then accidentally found my way into a battlefield where everyone was trying to kill me-"

I spun my entire adventure in a way that made me sound like a hunted animal that was forced to kill in self-defense, only for things to escalate beyond my control. Nejire was smart enough to understand that a lot of 'bad people' would want to 'hurt and use' her beloved big brother Peter for his power, I used that sentiment in order to emphasize the importance of not letting anyone know the true nature of my Quirk.

A bit of persuasion later and she fully brought into the idea that I was trying to live the peaceful, fun life that I deserved and that I was such a wonderful person for using my god-like powers to help her become a hero and making her my future wife.

I can really see why villains feel so good about this manipulation thing.

"So yeah, I don't really kill people for their Quirks. And besides… well over 40 million people die every year, if I made an effort to increase my Quirk stealing range together with my [Life Detection] Quirk and speed through every corner of this world then I will never run out of Quirks. If I spent all my time collecting every Quirk and cremation was no longer a thing I could have well over a hundred million Quirks in a couple of years."

"That sounds like, like, way too many Quirks to deal with."

"It is. It gets all cluttered up in my head, you know, like a huge bag of marbles and I have to keep looking for the same colored marble in order to do any sort of comparison."

Something about the marble analogy speaks to me.

Marbles were… not just toys or collectibles. They could also be used as tools.

"Ah… so that's it. That's how I see Quirks."

I had fun playing around with Quirks. In a way, they were toys.

I liked to collect Quirks for a rainy day, I also liked to have all sorts of Quirks to show off when needed. They were like a collection of shinies.

They were also my weapons and tools for survival in this crazy world of superpowers. I never placed them on a pedestal, my life didn't revolve around my main Quirk or my collection of Quirks, while fun and nice to have… they were ultimately my means of securing my survival.

"Are you okay there?"

"Yeah, sorry. Just having a monologue there. Now then, back to work! Part of my Quirk allows me to see and understand other Quirks, including ways to make them stronger. So let's start with building your stamina! I'm going to use my [Vitakinesis] and [Bio-Energy Transfer] Quirks to keep you energized-"

And also to optimize your growth, my dear Nejire.

We trained like that without any major changes to our lifestyle for just over two years before I started to make it big into the business world. I started to attend more social and business events, some of them were pretty high-class if I dared say so myself.

I was moving up in the world, unfortunately, society would disagree with me bringing in my fourteen year old future spouse to join in on the fun. As such, I decided to split my time between Nejire and a new future wife.

Mmm, but maybe I should do something about organizing that cult of formerly Quirkless people praising me? I should get to that before they start performing blood rituals or something stupid like that.

That guy that won the science competition and was now working at I-Island is the most successful person so far. He seemed to have won some notoriety for making progress in next-gen Quirk combination prediction technologies, something Endeavor would probably have liked to have ages ago.

Thinking back about the DNA samples I took and reconstructed after checking up on young Tenko Shimura with his family's creepy hands, one of which included his grandmother's hands (real creepy AFO)... I can't help but think of the possibilities.

Perhaps I can get that scientist of mine to work on it, after all, every super villain needs a mad scientist performing unethical experiments on their payroll. I should also see if he wants to run the cult, ah, silly me! He might be too busy if I get him to work on my science project so guess I'll just pick someone else.
