Chapter 147: Fusion (1)

Neji's body started to heal itself and soon he was back in shape, only left with his bloody clothes.

He first put Nine's body inside his inventory for any emergency, and then changed his clothes. After that, he started to look into his current quirks.

"System, show me my Quirk Page."

[As you wish, master.]

[—Quirk Page—]

In this world, Quirks are genetic changes in a living being's body, they grant abilities that are unattainable by any normal means. This page shows each Quirk the host possesses.

: This Quirk grants the user the ability to convert their own vitality into energy and use the said energy to form destructive shockwaves and vibrations.   : Upon activation, the Eyes of the Lord would enable the user to see through his opponents' techniques and provide him with the means to dodge and attack their attacks even if they're Gods.   Note: If used for too long, just like Adam, this can harm the user’s lifespan. If higher level, the chance of that happening lessens.   : A Quirk that grants the ability to generate and manipulate Gravity, one of the four fundamental forces of the universe.  –Upon increasing the levels, more power would be allowed to generate and more control would be gained in manipulation.]

This part of the page wasn't unusual, but the next part was indeed new.

[•: Grants the ability to control the weather of a certain range; allowing the user to instantly cause powerful thunderstorms and tornadoes. 

—The previous holder of this quirk, Nine, stated the quirk to be too powerful for him to wield as it resulted in the destruction of his body's cellular tissue. However, due to the Gamer's strong body, this weakness is negated.]

[•: A weaker duplicate of the original All For One. With this, the user can steal and hold up to eight different Quirks, and also pass them down if wished.

~The quirks down below are all "held" within the quirk, All for One, and therefore wouldn't hold down the user's body.

-{Air Wall - LVL 4}: Grants the ability to create a transparent barrier made of pressurised air to shield oneself in a particular direction. This Quirk can also be used offensively, by releasing a powerful air burst that can push away people and attacks or used as a springboard that can physically push people away. 

-{Scanning - LVL 3}: Grants the ability to measure the strength of anyone the user looks at through an infrared-like measurement system which he uses to predict what someone's Quirk is. 

-{Bullet Laser - LVL 4}: Grants the user the ability to fire purple-coloured lasers from his fingertips at will. Can easily pierce through human flesh, as well as many other solid surfaces. Can also explode on the impact of certain surfaces.

-{Hydra - LVL 5}: Grants the ability to summon a number of large blue dragon-shaped attacks out of the user's back that he can control at will. 

-{Cell Activation - LVL 6}: Grants the user the ability to activate the cells in his own body or another person's body, boosting regeneration and repairing any damage. 

—Note: Only works on people with Type-A blood.]

This part of the page was new, and it was very appealing too.

Though it seemed some quirks needed to be gone since there was a limited slot left on the quirk.

"The Cell Activation quirk is pretty lame because of its blood type restrictions… Besides, I don't exactly need a regeneration quirk." Neji thought out loud, scratching his chin as he decided on what to do exactly… 

Just then, his eyelids twitched as he remembered something.

He still had his [Quirk Exp Card] from the USJ Quest. He was planning to use it on his ⟨Surge⟩, but this might be better…

"Hey, system, would All for One evolve if I use the Quirk Exp Card on it? Or are the experience points lacking?"

Neji asked just as a loading screen appeared in front of him. It spun for a moment before the system dinged.

[According to my calculations, it should work and make the quirk evolve right away. Though I am unable to ascertain if evolution will grant the exact result you're hoping for or not.]

Neji nodded at that. But he was most certain evolving this weakened All for One will make it a match to its prime version, if not even more lethal.

"Alright, use the Quirk Exp Card on the quirk, ⟨All for One⟩." Neji said softly and the system replied with a beep.

Following, the Quirk Exp Card, looking like a token of some sort, came flying out of his inventory on its own and started to float in front of Neji. It shone golden and the shine started to sharpen not so long after.

Then it bursts into particles of light that stunt the surroundings, along with Neji, in a blanket of golden light.

When the light vanished, Neji came out of it without any particular change. 

In front of his eyes, a message floated.

[The Quirk, All for One, has evolved.]

[Would you like to pick a new name for it?]

Neji looked at the messages and realised the name 'All for One' was a mouthful indeed. He needed a bit shorter name, on top to make the quirk his own.

"Something simple… How about Mine?"

[Sounds splendid, master. The name's been changed.]

"Thanks." Neji kissed in the air but got no reply.

At that, he opened his quirk page again to see the new ⟨Mine⟩'s information.

[- Level 1: A evolution of the weaker duplicate of the original All For One. 

With this, the user can steal and hold up to eighty different Quirks, the number gets multiplied by (Two) upon each level up. He can also pass them down if wished.

Besides this, the user can use multiple of his quirks at once, which wasn't possible before. The limit of quirks that can be used at once depends on the user's body.

At last, the user can combine any of his quirks, even permanently to free up one of the slots.]

"Wow, this is great. Especially the last one… If I can combine multiple quirks permanently, I can have some pretty strong and diverse options on my hand… For example, what if I combine ⟨Mine⟩ with that Monoma guy's ⟨Copy⟩?"

That'd mean, he won't actually have to harm innocent people… on top, that'd also mean he would have unlimited copies of the same quirk on his fingertips, therefore giving him the chance to help his girls get stronger too.

"...That just means I have to get out of this place as soon as possible. I can't let Monoma die before I take his quirk." 

Neji reminded himself how weak he was against Hisashi… These new quirks won't make much of a difference. So Neji wanted to try out the “Fusion” before going out again… if he felt like the powerup was enough, he would go out immediately. 

If not, he will have to stay here for a while and level-up tons. Because from the looks of it, he won’t be able to find Rumi so easily because there’s a network blockage functioning in Japan, as Kimi reported to him. So it’s better to go out prepared for a scenario where he won’t find Rumi for days.

‘...Enough of that, it’s time to get going, Kimi and the others are waiting.’ Neji shook his head. Thinking of that is just distracting right now, so he would rather focus on something else.

Neji walked outside the huge coliseum-like building where he had defeated the White Tiger before, as that’s where he took Nine too for his small ‘play’.

Walking outside, he found his group standing there, chattering amongst themselves.

“Hey! I don’t like this hat! Take it off, mommy!!”

The loudest voice amongst them was Kurai’s who was wearing a witch hat and yelling with her arms in the air, trying to grab the hat and throw it away, but her arms were simply too small to do so.

“Kurai, today’s a hot noon. You need to keep wearing that to keep your body in the shade.”

Kimi said, hiding a smug smile behind her hand-covered mouth. If anything, she was just giving her fantasy-loving mind a treat.

Neji walked in and softly smacked her in the head, causing her to cough while everyone finally noticed him.

“Don’t bully her, aren’t you her mother?” Neji asked with a scoff, hitting her again.

Kimi shrugged, going to Kurai to apologise, but the cat only meowed and avoided her.

Musha walked to Neji right then, kneeling. “I again apologise for hitting you earlier my liege, but it does seem you have achieved what you wanted.”

It was Mursha who had injured Neji before he went to ‘fight’ Nine. Neji needed to look beaten and on death’s door for Nine to get the impression of the situation that Neji wanted him to get. Neji could slow down his regeneration if needed, so despite getting injured he didn’t heal immediately, as that would have ruined his plans.

Neji nodded to Mursha. “I got what I wanted. But I now have something else to do…”

Without waiting for Mursha to nod, he slowly walked to Kurai and picked her up, raising her in front of his face and throwing the hat away. “Kurai, didn’t you say you wanted to try out that Fusion thing?”

Kurai, who was finally relieved with the hat gone from her head, stared at Neji’s blue eyes with her bright gold ones.
