Chapter 6 - A bit more strength

Chapter 6

[A bit more strength]

It was the following day. As I was about to get ready to go to school I received a notification on my phone. It was from the school. "Classes are suspended today due to important reasons". This was sudden. They didn't seem to have something going on yesterday. "But this is good. Now I've got time to figure out on how to use my strength multiplier" I thought to myself. As it is a strength multiplier the idea that came to mind was simple. <> I said.

I've come up with a plan. 250 push ups, 250 squats, 250 sit ups, and 10 km run. I started working out. 5 hours have passed. I finally finished working out. <> I said. Since I'm an Elite my strength surpasses that of a normal human. That also applies to the speed of the growth of my strength. Although I'm still fairly weak. If it wasn't for my accidental use of lightning speed in the strength test my destructive power rating would have been a C at most. After working out I was pretty worn off. I rested for a while. 2 hours have passed. I was at the roof of the building I was living in. I tested out my destructive power. I clenched my fist and took a punch. A little shockwave appeared. <> I said in a surprised tone. I then used my strength multiplier. I took a punch once again. The shockwave was much bigger. I took some recoil. But my body didn't break and it didn't hurt. I was already expecting this since I already made a shockwave just before this one. 

I went back to my room and took a bath. While I was taking a shower I remembered something. "Isn't Deku's quirk in My Hero Academia the same to my strength multiplier?". I got out of the bathroom. I took a look at my phone. There was a message from an unknown number. "Hello! This is Stella. It sucks that school was suspended today." is what was written on the text. "She even took my number." I thought to myself. I replied to her message. 

"I'm fine. How about you?"

"I'm doing great. Although I'm here at school." she replied. I was curious about what was the important thing that made them suspend school today and this was a perfect opportunity to get information. "What was that important thing that made them suspend school today?" I asked.

She took a while to reply. My phone suddenly vibrated. She finally sent a reply. "It's code: Lucy". The name she just said was familiar. "Code:Lucy? Isn't that what they call the student that went berserk years ago?" I asked her. "Yes" she replied. "So that student also goes to our school." I thought to myself.

We continued on talking for two hours. Eventually I said goodbye. "Alright, see you tomorrow!" she replied. I was bored. I couldn't really do anything at my apartment. All of the expenses were covered by the ones who gave me my Overdrive gear. Although they told me that it would be a sword type. But no way they wouldn't know this. They also give me 5000 points a week. But even so I didn't have anything to do with that many points. I then remembered the location that I wrote about the other day. Curious I then went outside the apartment building and started to head to that location. 

Once I arrived at the location I used my ability Heaven's Eyes to see if the hidden door was still there. And fortunately enough it was still there. I touched it to see if it would open. I was then greeted with a message in what seems like a system screen. 

[ Access denied ]

<> I said. My gauntlets then appeared. I clenched my fist and punched the door with just enough force to break it open. Luckily enough even though the door was made of metal my punch still broke it. Behind the door there were stairs. I carefully went in.

As I arrived at the bottom of the stairs to my surprise there were still people there. "Seems like the door was far enough for them not to hear it getting broken down." I thought to myself. I then saw about a hundred hooded people. It appeared to be a cult which didn't surprise me. But there was one thing that caught my eye. The person in the middle didn't have a hood on. I looked at the person closely and to my surprise it was Kyle. "A member of one of the great families leading a cult? Now that's something you don't see everyday." I thought to myself. 

It seemed like they were about to finish. I quickly got out before they could notice me. As I was about to reach the door I then heard a familiar voice. 

<> said the voice I heard. It was the guy that was obsessed with Hina. I then quickly used my Lightning speed to pass by them. For now even if they saw the lighting trail I left there's no chance that they will know if it was me or not. But I had a feeling that in the future it would be problematic.

It looks like the training I did earlier paid off. Finally I was able to control 1% of my power. But I still have a long way to go. 

I got back to my apartment. I didn't really get to take a good look at my body earlier so I decided to look in the mirror to see what I looked like now. To my surprise I was a bit chiseled. Since my body is that of a normal human, I could have an overwhelming amount of strength but still have a body like this.
