Chapter 31

Keira glanced around, I definitely have some attention now.. Her eyes went over multiple people staring at her. One of them had broccoli green hair. It took her a moment to realize he was Midoriya.

Nope! Her head  snapped forward as she walked faster. This is not the time for attention, Keira. Focus! She shook her head before really looking this time. There aren't a lot of options.. The students were already grouping together. She vaguely remembered the details in the cavalry battle but the easiest way would probably be..

Blue eyes looked around before they found him. Purple hair, a sharp look gazing around and hands in pockets. He's practically a mini Aizawa.

A small grin made its way to her face. He was right there already deciding who to brainwash.

Perfect! Literally the easiest speed-run..

Now she just gotta be one of the unsuspecting brainwash victims. She hurried over to the side before walking normally in front of him. After a minute or two, she caught him from the corner of her eye approaching. Yes! "Hi-"

"-Hey, you're the teleporting girl arentcha!?"

She jumped. Unfamiliar brown hair and yellow eyes faced her. It was one of the extra characters. Probably.. She did not remember his face.

"..Nope you got the wrong person." She smiled before turning to check on the purple-haired target.

"Huh?! But I saw you teleporting!" He came in front of her again.

"Fine, I am. I'm kinda busy right now though." She said. The guy sighed turning around and leaving. She turned to Shinsou. The purple haired boy had frozen his face neutral before he smiled eyes narrowed, "you're not the teleportation quirk user?"

She smiled, time to speed run this!

"I am"

Everything slowed down. Fog clouded her mind and her body froze waiting for its next instruction. Surreal.. that's off my bucket list.

"Let's go now, I'll be the rider" Her body moved on its own following him. Keira sighed internally.

Babump.. babump.. babump.. What was that? Her heartbeat?

"Start!!" That was Midnight's voice.

Then it turned to black.

Huh.. that wasn't how it was show when Midoriya was brain washed.

All around her was nothing. Darkness. She breathed deeply before walking forward. One step at a time.

Did you like the role of the villain, Shane Keira?

Her eyes widened, her body freezing. This cold voice. The man who ruined everything. Her chest stuttered, hands clenching. She looked to the right. Nothing. To the left. Still nothing. Her breathing became erratic, air heavy in her lungs.

She swung back before yelping as she flew backwards. Grey eyes met hers. Short black curls. Younger. More Naiive. Keira blinked. Her eyes drifted down the other her whose face twisted with a small cruel smirk. Ok not that naiive..

"Still afraid of that creep, Keira?" It had her voice as well.

She backed away slowly wincing. The other her walked slowly forward. Small steps forward matching Keira's backward ones. For the first time, Keira felt like her high school disguise. Young and small.

"Even though you're much more powerful." The other her grinned, "What have you been using our power for? Simple stuff like money and gifts for Tencchan? conjuring up your journal?" Her counterpart chuckled like she heard the funniest joke. Keira flinched.

Everything about the person in front of her made her want to run. "Let it goo, Elsa!" she sneered, "It's an anime, hah. An anime.. While we heal from All for One, get used to the idea of using our power, Keira." She disappeared.

Where did she go? She had a bad feeling about this. Oh shoot, I've finally done it. I've gone psycho! Her hands clutched her head. This whole thing got me crazy, this is what happens. Shit, shit..

"..Shit! This is how it starts, isn't it?! I meet another me and then next thing I'm one of those psychos who shifts between characters and doesn't remember what the other her did!!" Keira groaned.

"Not quite."

A hand on her shoulder made her shriek as she whirled around flailing. The other her was smiling again. It was less creepy, more friendly. "You're just traumatized." She put a finger on her chin tapping once, "mmm, but you'll need to get over it soon."

Keira blinked her face twisted part confusion part fear.

Something hard hit her shoulder and she was back in UA. Her eyes drifted up groggily. Purple hair fluttered. Shinsou's hand was holding multiple bands from other teams. She looked down. Oh, she was also carrying him and running with the others. She shook her head slightly. "..That was crazy."

The rest of the round was Shinso taking bands and asking Keira to get him the band of one of the far away players. It was easy enough as they disappeared without anybody noticing and reappeared in Shinsou's hand. She noticed how he steered clear from the louder teams duking it out.

Smart.. She thought before glancing at her teammates. Yikes. Did I look like that? It was Ojiro and Aoyama from class 1A. Their eyes were blank and they looked zombified.

A loud whistle signaled the end of the round. They set him down.

"Let's take a look at who our top 14 are!" Present mic's voice boomed" the screen shifted showing the rankings, "in first place team todoroki! In second place team Bakugo!"

Keira looked at both groups before her eyes went back to the screen. "In third place, team tetsute.. wait what?!! It's team Shinsou! When did they come back from the dead?!"

Shinsou grinned glancing back at them before walking away. "Thanks for all your help."

Keira let out a breath. Mission accomplished. Her hand went to her hair playing with the ends a bit. Her eyes drifted to the strands around her fingers. "Still blonde." She mumbled, her eyes slightly dazed. She shook her head walking forward. At least now I know the glitching lessened..

"And in fourth place is team Midoriya!" Present mic finished, "These four teams will advance on to the final round!!"

She winced smiling a bit at the loud wailing sound from Midoriya as waterfalls went out of his eyes.

"Now let's take an hour of lunch before the festivities, see you soon!" Keira scratched her head before heading towards the lunch area. "Hey eraserhead let's grab some food."

"I'm taking a nap."

Keira stopped moving, briefly looking towards the broadcasting room. The next round was the one she was waiting for. It's all or nothing.
