Chapter 3 - Chapter 3

With a deafening bang, Yaoyorozu Chihiro's mind trembled violently. His entire body felt as though countless ants were crawling beneath his skin. The searing pain that surged up from the depths of his bones made him frown deeply, and the fingers of his right hand tightened instinctively.

"Mm…"

Letting out a restrained breath, Chihiro looked down at the girl who appeared to be waking. His expression shifted slightly. He wanted to act immediately, yet an inexplicable resistance surged up from deep within his heart. His body burned as though set ablaze, an intense heat slamming directly into his chest.

"Why are Quirks attracted to each other…?" Chihiro muttered under his breath.

After all, the Quirk he had generated originated from this girl. It was like a mother-and-child relationship. Chihiro was never the indecisive type. When his Quirk had suddenly awakened, he had taken the girl away without hesitation. Now, after wavering again and again, a trace of firmness finally flashed through his eyes.

The five fingers of his right hand came together like the blade of a sword, instantly slicing through the hemp rope binding the girl. At the same time, he pulled her upright. She was incredibly light, her body soft and pliant, as though boneless. Chihiro's eyes reddened, and he no longer tried to suppress the heat raging through his body.

After a long moment, as he looked at the half-naked girl who seemed on the verge of waking, a faint crease of pain appeared between his brows. Yet at the same time, a flicker of tenderness passed through his eyes.

At last, the chaotic information swirling within his mind layered and combined like countless strands of code, converging into a single phrase:

"Super Cure — Synthesis Complete."

At the same time, an indescribable wave of numbness surged through his entire body. Chihiro could feel an unfamiliar force being continuously nurtured within him, even reinforcing his once-ordinary physique. To a certain extent, a Quirk was not merely a supernatural ability—it also continuously developed and strengthened the body, allowing one to control that power.

In other words, possessing a Quirk meant transcending the limits of ordinary humans.

Immersed in the transformation of his body, Chihiro narrowed his eyes slightly. It wasn't just physical—he could feel his mind awakening as well, becoming sharper and clearer than ever before. This evolution from human to something beyond was a dual assault upon both body and spirit.

The overwhelming pressure gradually pushed his consciousness toward chaos. Darkness crept in little by little. Yet suddenly—like a single point of light within endless blackness—his eyebrows twitched violently, as though something was about to break free.

After what felt like an eternity, a crisp ding echoed within his mind, and a profound sense of understanding surged through his heart.

"S-Level Quirk: Smart Chip — unwilling to remain ordinary for two generations. After decades of data baptism, a super Quirk is finally born."

[Name]: Yaoyorozu Chihiro[Age]: 14

[Quirks]:

S-Level Quirk – Smart Chip(The world of data bends to your will. When combined with existing cognition, you can theoretically digitize reality itself, achieving unity between data and humanity.)

A-Level Quirk – Super Cure(The first completed analysis of the Smart Chip Quirk. A top-tier ability obtained through synthesis. You do not fear failure—only the inability to stand again. With Super Cure, what is there left to fear?)

[Attributes]:

Strength: E-Level(Having incubated an S-Level Quirk for years, your body resembles one suffering from chronic illness. Frail and sickly—this condition has lasted for ten years.)

Speed: D-Level(Average speed. Lacking physical advantages, you rely on technique and timing to reach a D-Level assessment.)

Skills: S-Level(Peerless swordsmanship. With a blade in hand, you are the swordsman this world reveres. A so-called genius—though that is merely the world's misunderstanding. Exquisite technique, dazzling sword forms, and a terrifying instinct that makes countless people tremble. At the moment you draw your sword, even Heroes stronger than A-Rank would be forced to hold their breath.)

Intelligence: A-Level(In the past, your brilliance was obscured like Kyōka Suigetsu. Now, its true depth is beginning to surface.)

Coordination: A-Level(For a true swordsman, the blade is an extension of the arm. As one of the rare swordsmen of this era, your coordination far exceeds common understanding.)

As the enlightenment settled within him, Chihiro stood frozen for a long time. Then, after a while, he pressed a hand to his forehead and burst into unrestrained laughter.

So this was how it was supposed to be.

Since he had come to this world, how could he truly be Quirkless? Or possess only some insignificant ability? This kind of Quirk—this was worthy of him. An S-Level Quirk was extraordinarily rare even in this world. Its value did not lie in immediate power, but in its limitless potential—the potential to reach the very pinnacle.

From Chihiro's perspective, aside from his nominal cousin Yaoyorozu Momo—whose Creation Quirk also ranked as S-Level—only the legendary super Quirk All For One could be considered on the same tier. As for others, at least among those he knew, none qualified as true S-Level. Even One For All, passed down through generations by the Symbol of Peace, All Might, could only be considered a special A-Level ability.

Without realizing it, the tension that had long bound Chihiro's heart finally loosened.

With a compound super Quirk in his possession, the world suddenly felt… astonishingly simple.
