Dr Blessed - In MHA With Lord Of Mysteries System

Chapter 105: Accepting Oneself — Meeting a Killer!



Mirko's words kept repeating themselves in Luke's head for over an hour, making him laugh and frown.

Regardless of what he had been through in his previous life, he just couldn't deny it.

Luke had faced failures more than he could count. But, defeat?

Even when he had ended up almost dying against a Nomu during the Jaku Incident, Luke remembered he had been focusing on running, surviving, and winning — not one of them was the same as defeating the Nomu.

When he did defeat the Nomu, that had come out of desperation; out of revenge.

[

Everyone has their fighting style, Luke.

You must have already figured out the essence of the three Pathways. Like Bioalchemy, they also depend on planning.

It doesn't matter how you win or survive.

You end up moving forward — that's the goal.

]

Luke silently contemplated Miss Justice's words, Nyx flying in circles overhead. Not too far from him, Mirko lay in ambush, her breathing still.

Luke looked at her, and she smiled, making him smile back at her.

You are right, Miss Justice, he thought, but… there's something wrong with me, isn't it?

[I wouldn't say wrong…]

What are you hiding from me? Luke asked.

[

… It's not me, Luke. It's you. You are hiding things from yourself… subconsciously.

Tell me. Why didn't you kill Shigaraki the first time you ambushed him?

]

I tried my best, Luke replied, bewildered. You know that.

[Did you? If you really did, then how come the Nomu ended up dead, but not Shigaraki?]

"…" Luke stood there as if someone had broken the mirror he was looking at, his image shattering into hundreds of shards.

[

People tend to subconsciously avoid doing something that they had spent their entire lives remaining unknown to.

You have spent a lifetime forgiving and ignoring the atrocities done to you by selfish people, who would have been labeled as Villains if the world knew about them.

You despise yourself for ending up becoming someone whom your late wife would have hated.

You didn't kill Shigaraki not because you couldn't, despite the threat of All For One, but because — you just didn't want to.

Yes, you tried.

But your heart wasn't in it, Luke.

Now imagine, what if it were Bakugo in place of Shigaraki?

What if Bakugo hadn't been a child and a Hero, but a Villain and All For One's next successor?

]

Luke stood there rooted, his eyes losing focus.

[

What Mirko saw within you, or sensed within you, was hesitation.

The fighting spirit isn't just about getting beaten blue or black, but winning over your internal struggles, too.

Just like the way you keep hiding your face more and more as Dr. Blessed, because you fear Momo's ghost would see you becoming a Villain.

]

For a long time, Luke stood there, looking up at the sky blurring in front of him.

Then, he rubbed his eyes and smiled. "No wonder my mother left me at an orphanage," he lampooned. "I must have cried too much. Haha!"

[…]

Well, Luke said, taking a moment to calm down. What's the solution, Miss Justice?

[

I meant to talk about it someday, just before you became a Sequence 6 of the Seer Pathway.

But now that it has already happened, I have only one suggestion for you.

Don't go against what you truly don't want to do.

If you can't kill, then don't. That's it.

The more you tried to become someone you aren't, the more there would be chances of losing control later on.

I understand that killing isn't avoidable…

But we can let you of the future deal with it as well… or a version of you…

]

A version of me?! Luke asked, trying to find meanings in Miss Justice's words. Is this related to the Sequence 6 you mentioned of the Seer Pathway?

[

Yes. So, for now, do whatever you feel like doing without constantly holding yourself back.

Luke is not a killer — keep this in mind.

It will make everything much easier.

]

Luke is not a killer, Luke repeated, a bright smile blooming on his lips. I see… But, I do want to understand the thinking of a killer as well.

He looked at the spot where Hero Killer: Stain would appear, making up his mind.

Thank you, Miss Justice, Luke said, looking up and secretly giving her a hand sign. If you weren't a System, I would have thought you were an expert Psychologist.

[… Ahem! Who knows? Maybe I am… Hehe!]

Luke approached Mirko, Nyx flying down toward them.

Secretly, he snapped his fingers, activating the Voice Mimic Quirk that he had bestowed upon Nyx beforehand.

On the other side, Mirko saw the boy coming towards her and stood up, sighing. "You lack patience, too," she reprimanded. "Let's spend the entire night…"

Luke's lips twitched. "I am hungry…"

Mirko was about to punch the boy when, suddenly, a fog covered them from all around. Huh?

Paw!

The loud noise felt like blasting right behind her, the fog becoming denser around them.

"Mirko!" Luke's voice rang across the fog, his image blurring in her eyes. "What's going on?!"

Mirko's instincts kicked in, her eyes widening to take in everything. She could still see Luke's silhouette. "Luke! Stay there!"

Just as she tried to move forward, a black curtain materialized between her and Luke.

"Mirko! Run!!"

Luke's panicked voice jolted Mirko's nerves. Uncaring for everything, she ran toward the black curtain. Then, she slipped.

With a bang, her head struck the roof's floor.

"You are here, aren't ya?!" Mirko said, grinning ear to ear, muscles burgeoning on her body. "Dr. Blessed!"

With a boom, and still lying on the ground, she jumped straight up.

"Haha! You can't keep me…"

A chill ran down Mirko's spine.

She looked over her shoulder and saw the space parting up and down, Luke's shouts bombarding her ears from somewhere far.

Just as she was about to do something reckless, a powerful gust of wind struck her chest, throwing her into the portal.

Exactly as Mirko vanished, Hero Killer Stain appeared on a water tank, another portal appearing right behind him.

"… One fool after another…" Stain said, putting his sword against the man's neck who had walked out of the portal.

"What do you want…" the Killer asked, narrowing his eyes, "… Dr. Blessed?"
