Chapter 131 - CH 106: DO NOT BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU READ

Temari looked incredulously at the young boy gasping for air. Her quirk was many things but it wasn't as all-powerful as she made it seem to be. Very few people knew its limitations. Firstly, the time it took to activate. She couldn't just activate it on the drop of the hat. It took a certain time to activate. The wider the range she wanted to cover the more times it took.

Secondly, she couldn't affect mutant type quirks.

Finally and more importantly, her quirk wasn't a quirk nullifier but rather a reducer.

'To think he would be able to break the limit even if for a short instant. Just what is happening?'

Kuroha, on the other hand, was also trying to come to grip on what has happened. He couldn't really remember, but he was sure that he already felt this sensation once, long long ago. But the current feeling was far stronger than that.

'Did I awaken?'

He was truly a little incredulous. From what Milienia explained high emotional stress was necessary for awakening. When he heard that, he was sure that it should have been something like the fear of death or something of the like. But,

'I awaken because of a girl?'

What kind of shounen shit was this? Or perhaps a Xianxia? He sighed as he stood up with wobbling leg, then immediately paled when he saw the current state of the room.

'OH. MY. GOD!!!'

Right now, his inner feeling perfectly reflected the world wide known painting called THE SCREAM. But who could blame him?

Remember that everything in his room was priceless. The tea alone was extremely rare, while the teacups were expensive enough to buy a  car. If you added all the decorations, then you would get a number enough to make some people faint. Now though...Everything was destroyed.

'Should I beg Master to help me repay the debt?'

He sighed as he thought that before bowing toward Temari who was still protected by the barrier.

"I am sorry for what happened. It wasn't my intention to put you in danger or to reduce the room in such a state."

Temari didn't seem bothered. For her money was just a number. On the contrary, she was extremely elated. She didn't know what happened, but the fact that he could overwhelm her power even for a short instant was the proof that she wasn't wrong.

"Do not worry. Material things can always be bought. Thankfully, no one was hurt. That's all that matters. Anyways, I have told you everything you needed to know. I have also deactivated my quirk, so you can teleport back if you wish."

Kuroha nodded, he was actually feeling a little awkward. He didn't understand what happened, but not only did he threaten his future mother in law, he also put her in danger and destroyed her room. Even for someone as taciturn as him, it was rather hard to stay with a straight face.

He gave a last bow and immediately vanished.

Now alone, Temari sighed before saying to her maid,

"Call the other and clean this room."

"Yes."

After leaving the Yaoyorozu house, Kuroha appeared on the roof of the apartment building belonging to Mirko. He wanted to get Milienia's opinion, but first, he wanted to try.

"Ok let's do it."

He took a deep breath before using his ring to wound himself and draw blood. Then he formed a floating sword and launched it. It was fast, but not different from normal. Even the maximum range was still one kilometer.

'What happened? I am doing something wrong?'

He stopped a little before taking another deep breath and closing his eyes.

'Think. Think. I must get back that feeling.'

*Inhale* *Exhale*

He continued doing so for a few minutes, then, suddenly opened his eyes.

Everything that followed went in a flash. Red lightning began to flicker around his body, then a helix circle formed on his back. The moment he launched his sword, *BOOM* a  huge shockwave followed its trail. 

'One kilometer, two kilometers...Five kilometers.'

The feeling of control begins to slip after reaching the five-kilometers mark. 

'Incredible.'

He brought back the sword and reabsorbed the blood as he began to inspect the helix. The lightning didn't seem to have any offensive might. It seemed more like Midoriya's full cowl. The helixes though were different.

'A booster?'

He could feel it. His quirk becomes marginally stronger and easier to control when he activated that helix. Still,

'The stamina consumption is no joke.'

He could clearly feel it. Keeping this helix up was extremely tiring. He didn't think he could keep it up for longer. Despite that,

'This isn't all it can do.'

He was sure of it. He could feel it in his bones. This evolution wasn't just a boost in his parameters.

'I will have to explore it later.'

He clenched his fist, rare jubilation spreading through him. Few things could feel better than the sensation of becoming stronger. It was such a euphoric feeling.

He then thought of something, and gulped, before finally gritting his teeth. He slowly walked until the edge of the building and looked down. 

'Let's go'

He took a deep breath and then… He jumped.

---

As he fell headfirst toward the ground at a great speed, his mind was in an extreme moment of clarity.

He didn't know if it was a good idea. But he read it seemed like people could learn new things under stress. It was rather cliche in light novel. If he could awaken with the power of love. Perhaps he could also do something like that?

He discarded all useless thought and began to ponder about the reason he jumped. He wanted to fly. Not just hovering with his board. No, he wanted to fly. To truly do so without any form of support.

He sharpened his mind and gathered his wit as he began to focus inwardly. He should be able to do so. Flying would be nothing more than a greater application of his quirk.

'I can do it.'

Slowly, but surely, he could feel his fall slow down. But,

'This isn't enough.'

It was hardly a change. The slowing down in speed was so minuscule it couldn't be felt. He began to slowly control every part of his body, the blood flowed itself off his body. It was hard, but so much easier than usual. 

Finally, just as he was about to fall and paint the road with blood and gore...He didn't stop.

*SPLAT*

KYAAA!!

Scream immediately filled the street.
