In the last chapter, my mom gave me a scouter and told me that it can measure a power level up to 1 billion. I don't know how she knows this since the strongest being here has the power level of final form Frieza.
"So, she really gave you her scouter." Ur started a conversation with me.
"What is a scouter? I don't know what it does?" I shamelessly lie through my teeth. Damn, the path of the harem is hard.
"Ah, well, I guess you wouldn't know. Well, a Scouter is a way to quantitatively measure someone's magic."
"So, it will show the amount of magic I have with numbers?"
"Yeah, exactly."
"Can I see how much magic you have?" I ask as I pull out my scouter.
"Ok."
I carefully put the ear covering on top of my left ear. The green screen instantaneously turns translucent and the scouter size decreases until it turns into an earbud. I was super surprised. Never have I seen such a unique scouter. Even in Dragon Ball, the Scouters were always large and clunky. I mean it also failed to record power levels beyond 20,000 without exploding.
"Tony's creations never fail to surprise and amaze me."
I look at her completely confused. I mean I know my dad's name was Tony Stark, so it would be blasphemy if he didn't have a genius-level of intelligence, but I didn't think him to be a wizard. So, I ask with an incredulous look on my face, "Dad was a wizard too?"
"Hmm. Oh, no. He wasn't. He is the best businessman I know. He took over your grandfather Howard's Armor and Weapon business. In fact, he was able to create an Etherion Suit. But since your father is an extremely patriotic man, I think it was meant to be a last resort of defense for the kingdom of Fiore."
Interesting. I don't know why, but Tony was never too patriotic in the MCU. But here he is. Maybe because my original father was extremely patriotic? Something to think about for later. "That's amazing."
I then return to fiddling with my scouter. Dad has improved on it, so I can record videos and take pictures. Another thing I can do with it is making calls and send messages. Of course, these messages and calls can only go to and from other Scouters. And after about 10 minutes of fiddling with the scouter, I was able to train it onto myself and check my power level. Needless to say, I am suppressing my ki.
[Power Level: 50]
Yep, I knew suppressing my power worked wonders. Now I seem as weak as a normal human. I have a major edge over everyone around me. My actual power level, after recovering from the backlash from Ultra Instinct, should be around half a billion in my base form. And I think I need to just break a billion in battle power to unlock Super Saiyan Blue and Rose. Yeah, I'm in Spain without the P. Yep, totally cracked. Especially for this world.
Next, I checked Ur. This wasn't too hard, I just had to point my eyes toward her with my scouter and click the button by my left ear. What I saw astounded me. Her power level read well over my expectations. I couldn't help but gape like a fish.
[Power Level: 10,000,000]
She could kick the shit out of the first 3 forms of Frieza. What is this development? She is in the lower echelons of A-class Magicians? Now, isn't this epic. She's stronger than base Goku just before the Babidi Saga. Who said magic is bullshit? Who called magic stage tricks? Let me see them, I'll kick their teeth in. Her battle power without her final spell is amazing. It is more powerful than Deliora, whom I bet has a power of at least 50,000,000 – 60,000,000.
"Amazing, ain't I. I am an A-class Magician, officially speaking. So, as you can guess, I was holding back quite a lot in our fight."
The past me wouldn't have been able to tell, since I didn't have any combat experience, but since I got my memories and my strength back from the Multi-Form Technique clones, It has gotten way easier to tell.
"Yeah! Can we spar again?" I ask Ur. I want to see how my skill growth compares to the last time. Obviously, I need to find a way to use my Multi-Form Technique to create clones again.
"Sure thing. We can spar when we get home."
"Are we going back?"
"Hahaha. No, we aren't going back. We're going to go to my house. It's up there in the mountain range That black little dot just in the middle of the trees."
"Ok." That gives me about an hour or an hour and a half to create a multitude of clones. "Ur, can I use my clone making magic to train as we go up the mountain?"
"You really like training," Ur said to me. "If you can keep pace with me while practicing, then sure. But I'm going to tell you now, I don't plan to slow down once I start."
"Then, can we race? I think that I'll be able to double the amount of training I will be doing."
"I wonder why you want to train so hard? Could it be that you like someone?" Ur asks in a teasing manner. I guess she wants to see if I get flustered.
"Maybe," I respond in a collected and calm voice. Completely dashing her hopes of teasing me. Has she taken a liking to me because I'm the son of her best friend? Well, that would make an interesting dynamic at a dinner with the in-laws. I'm confident I can get her to like me in a romantic light if I can help her get to meet Ultear. Two birds with one stone.
"Oh yeah? Well, tell me who it is? I'll help you." She said in an encouraging and teasing manner.
I wonder what she would do if I said I liked her. Or if I started giving her a list. Heh, that would be funny, but it would make my future progress hard. I think I'll tell her just before she uses Iced Shell. That would be a unique turn of events. "Maybe after some time."
"Fine, don't tell me right now. But I want to be the first person you tell. I'll give you advice on how to tell her." Her upbeat and cheery personality makes its appearance for the first time since I saw her in the anime. "Now, get ready."
"Yes Ma'am!" I shout. I immediately salute and make 5,000 clones of myself. And with a single thought, they fly off in every possible direction. 294 for each sacred gear and 2 to split off. One to go help Erza in the Tower of Heaven, and the other to go meet Ultear through her window to connect with her telepathically.
"What was that?" Ur asks me.
"I made those clones to each learn a new set of armor. I think 294 of them will focus on each individual armor." I answer. She can't do anything with this information. "And the last 2 will spar until they get tired. Finally, after they finish, I will learn everything that they did."
"Interesting. Now, get ready to run. We want to be home within the next 20 minutes."
