In MHA with JJK powers.

Hero Provisional Exam Centre.

In the audience hall.

Kurokai sat beside Aizawa with a dignified look on his face.

For a long time.

None of them said anything.

Maintaining their silence.

Except for the muffled laughter sound of Ms. Joke, which would sometimes reach their ears. 

Finally, after the first match was over, Kurokai carefully opened his mouth and said in a small voice.

"Technically it wasn't my fault...."

Seeing Aizawa staying silent, he continued.

"I mean her sneak attack was quite powerful and....and strategically there wasn't really much I could do about it ok?"

He continued spewing nonsense.

"i....I actually tried my best you know? there wasn't really much I could do about it, I mean---"

"Shut up."

"....ok."

Villain's hideout.

Lying casually on the couch, Shigaraki was busy playing games on his console that Mechamaru made him.

Suddenly he felt someone pull his clothes.

Feeling confused, he pulled his gaze away from the screen to look at his right.

It was a familiar figure.

The white-haired brat Mechamaru brought from the dungeon.

Wasn't she usually with Toga? Why did she come to him?

What was her name again? He didn't remember.

Shigaraki gave her a look then focused back on the game's screen.

Some moments later, he again felt someone pull his clothes.

Feeling annoyed, he turned to her and asked in a rude voice.

"What is it brat?"

Eri's body shook, avoiding his gaze she said in a small voice.

"...um.....here.."

looking at the paper boat in her hand, Shigaraki blinked in confusion.

"....What?"

"For you."

Taking a step forward, she placed it in front of him and looked at him expectantly.

Shigaraki didn't know what to say.

He put down the console and picked up the paper boat.

It was small, ugly, and useless.

Pathetic.

A waste of time.

"Toga taught me."

She said with stars in her eyes.

"I don't like it."

Eri trembled, then lowered her gaze.

Seeing her reaction, a grin appeared on his face.

He picked up the boat.

"See this?"

He waved it around attracting her attention.

Then used decay, turning the boat to dust.

"Gone."

With a smile on his face, he looked at her, wanting to see her crying face.

But what he saw, made him freeze in place.

There was another paper boat, in Eri's hands.

"Toga also said you would do that...."

She avoided his gaze and placed the new boat in front of him.

"Boat....gift..."

Shigaraki blankly looked at the new boat Eri gave him.

It was even more uglier than the previous one.

Letting out a sigh, he asked her.

"What do you want brat?"

"Play together?"

Her gaze turned towards his console.

"We can't play together, I only have one...."

Shigaraki's voice grew smaller and smaller seeing the obviously more advanced-looking console in Eri's hands.

It looked cool.

Especially the black and red pattern on the back.

Barely controlling his expression from changing, he asked.

"Brat.....how did you get that?"

"Mechamaru gave it to me.", She replied in an energetic voice.

The corners of Shigaraki's mouth twitched violently.

"Then why don't you go and play by yourself?"

"I don't know how to....."

Her eyes looked at him.

"....Mechamaru said you would teach me" 

Mechamaru!

Why?!

Did he look so free to him?!

Grabbing his forehead, Shigaraki sighed then patted the sofa beside him.

"Alright come, but don't run around crying when you lose."

With excited steps, she hopped and sat beside Shigaraki.

Then under his lead, they started playing a fighting game.

"Tsk, you're so bad at this brat."

Shigaraki easily won the first round.

"Hm well, you're learning pretty quickly."

He also won the second round, though it took some effort.

"....."

He barely won the third round.

Eri excitedly clicked the buttons, having gotten used to it.

The fourth round, Draw.

Shigaraki looked at her, and a bad premonition hit his mind.

And it came to fruition, very soon.

Fifth round, Eri won.

Sixth round, Eri won.

Seventh round, you guessed it, Eri won!

After losing 9 consecutive rounds, Shigaraki started doubting the meaning of life.

"Shigaraki let's go again!"

His blank eyes looked at Eri's, who was smiling excitedly because of her victories.

Looking at her innocent face.

His red eyes glowed crazily.

"Goddammit brat--"

"Shigaraki it's Eri!"

"Goddammit Eri!"

Firmly holding the controller in his hands he shouted in a loud voice.

"Just you wait! I'll beat you till there's nothing left!"

He lost again.

"Once more! Let's go again!"

Eri blinked cutely at him, then grabbed the paper boat and placed it on top of his head.

As she expected, it looked good.

Shigaraki exploded.

"What is this? Are you trying to declare your victory?! No no no! I haven't lost yet!"

He shouted in anger but didn't remove the paper boat.

"Again! Let's go again!"

He lost again.

"I'm unresigned!"

Then they continued playing until Mechamaru had to come and stop them, looking at the dark circles under her eyes, he confuscated Eri's console.

"No! Mechamaru you can't do this! Eri is my friend!"

Shigaraki protested for her in a loud voice.

Mecahamru gave him a weird look, then looked at Eri who was sitting beside Shigaraki.

It was an unusual and unexpected turn of events.

----

The next day.

Mechamaru looked dumbly at Shigaraki and Eri standing side by side.

"Mechamaru! Eri wants to go to the amusement park! Let's go!"

He denied her yesterday so she complained to Shigaraki?

What the hell?!
