Chapter 3: New Power Ups
"All Might? What are you doing here?" Shiro asked.
"I was passing by and heard this commotion, so as the Hero, I had to step to help the innocent." All Might replied with a confident smile.
After what happened, the villain was handed over to the authorities by All Might.
"Hey boys, I appreciate your courage, but you were both reckless, especially you black-haired boy." All Might scolded , addressing his words to the two friends.
The duo nodded.
Shiro turned to see Bakugou looking at him with a scary expression.
"Why did you do this, loser?"
"Hmph, just so you know, I had no intention of saving you, I just saved my friend."
TCH!
Leaving these words, Shiro decided to return with Midoriya.

And so, the days passed. Day by day, Shirou's progress was stable and evident. After 9 months of continuous training, Shiro finally completed the mission.
[ Congratulations. You have completed the mission successfully. ]
[ Do you want to0 redeem your rewards? ]
Yes!
[ Congratulations. You acquired:—200 SP.—E-rank technique: Gomu Gomu no Gatling. ]
[ Detecting that the host has completed his first mission… ]
[ Congratulations. You got a bonus:—You unlocked the inventory function.
- A random technique ×2 (A gear, an ordinary technique, or a special technique.)
- 10000 SP. ]
'Fuck! The System is so generous!' Shiro was happy that his efforts were not in vain.
In the past months, nothing interesting happened, unless if you consider Midoriya training with All Might an interesting event.
Every morning, Shiro was always waking up early before school to do some jogging from his house until the beach where he could always see Midoriya cleaning the trash as a sort of training while All Might monitored him.
He would sometimes greet them, even in the first time Midoriya and All Might were wondering how he noticed them. I mean, how could you not notice the bulky figure and the blond hair of All Might? Maybe they really thought that no one will see them? Is that anime logic? Meh.
For now…

- Gomu Gomu no Gatling.

[ Reminder!
You have items in the inventory. ]
'Open the inventory!'
[ - A random technique ×2.
- A straw hat. ]
'Ohh, it's the straw hat. And here I'm wondering where did it go.' He always wondered the whereabouts of the hat from when he got it from the starting package.
As he wore the straw hat, a sudden surge of power surged inside him.
[ The Straw Hat has been equipped. ]
[ The host's physical condition has improved drastically. ]
'It seems that this hat does not only increase my charm after all.'
'Use the random things.'
[ Using the two... ]
[ Congratulations. The host acquired:
— Unlocking the Second Gear.
— The Special Technique: Soru. ]
"Wow!" He exclaimed as a surge of information appeared in his head.
"So how much gears exists?"
[ Currently, five. ]
"Give me the informations about Soru."
[ Soru: allows the users to move at extremely high speeds in order to avoid attacks, as well as to attack at higher speeds and with greater power. ]
'Hell yeah! Now I have power and also speed.'
"Explain the second gear."
[ Your Second Gear functions differently than the original. You can activate this form but due to the restrictions, you can't use any technique, you will only get a sligh power up. ]
'So, what do I have to do to use its techniques and powers?'
[ The host can upgrade the techniques that he already have or he can get them from missions, or directly from the store. ]
'Hmm, let's see.'
Store!
Hundreds of techniques showed up in the panel with different prices.
'Display the techniques that I already have.'
[ - Gomu Gomu no Bazooka. {Upgrade: 5000 SP}
- Gomu Gomu no Pistol. {Upgrade: 5000 SP}
- Gomu Gomu no Gatling. {Upgrade: 5000 SP} ]
Shiro checked the prices of the upgraded techniques and found that it was double. For example, Gomu Gomu no Jet Pistol's price was, 10000 SP.
'So if I have the lesser version of the technique, I can just acquire the upgraded one with half the price.'
After moments of thinking, he decided to upgrade the Bazooka and the Pistol moves.
[ Congratulations. You acquired:
— The D-rank technique: Gomu Gomu no Jet Bazooka.
— The D-rank technique: Gomu Gomu no Jet Pistol. ]
'So basically, these techniques are powerful than their lesser version.'
[ Affirmative. ]
'Well, let's just try them, I guess.'
As he took a stance, Shiro extended his hand asr far as he could, then an invisible punch hit the big tree, leaving a trace of the punch.
"Holy shit!" He exclaimed joyfully.
He also tried the Bazooka move, which destroyed the tree.
After trying his new attacks, he also tried Soru, as in a moment he was in a place, but in the other moment he appeared in another. However, he didn't stop, but crashed into a tree.
"Shit, it appears that I have to practice it more."
