Capítulo 2: An Invisible Spirit
It's been two weeks, today's the day I'm going to manifest my quirk! To not act suspicious at all once I do manifest it, I pretended to be normal. It was going well for the first few minutes of the day, only for me to be seen through by mum. She's not that stupid, unlike my father who was easily fooled and thought I was just in a good mood.
As she kneeled to my level, I could finally see her eye to eye. My light pastel yellow eyes on her bright yellow pretty eyes. I'm not going to be weird or anything, but I somehow always lost myself in those mesmerising eyes.
But it normal, it was a side effect of her quirk. Her power was a weak hypnosis quick, which could force people to succumb to their desires if their stared at her eyes. This was rarely the case as the target needed to have a very low willpower, but when it does succeed, it's hilariously how many people my dad had to beat to protect her.
"Charles? Is there something wrong?" Seeing the mischievous smirk of her little rosy lips, I sighed in defeat. But I guess I could never hide anything from her. Looks like I have to play dumb. Avoiding her stare, I muttered 'Nothing~' whilst giggling and rushing over to my dad who already had a bowl of cereal for me ready.
Looking at my attitude, she pouted lightly and sulked visibly in front of me. Both me and dad both tried keeping our chuckles in, but ended up with a bruised head regardless of our efforts.
Looking at my health, it had dropped by 2 from the total of 20. Over the years, without me doing anything and being a healthy growing boy, I naturally gained stats. Besides my intelligence and perception, all my other stats increased by 1.
Finishing my bowl of soggy cereal, I burped softly and sighed in relief. Life was good, chilling at home and being a kid. Not needing to go to school. On that note, I've been wondering about Midoriya and Bakugo. I'm sure Midoriya got this, I just hope Bakugo won't bully him too much. The only reason I'm not doing anything is because Midoriya has got to grow a backbone. Because he is the main character, there gotta be some character development.
Looking at the timer on my stat page near my quirk I took a deep breath, it had 11 seconds left...
[0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 10 seconds...]
[0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 9 seconds...]
[0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 7 seconds...]
[0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 5 seconds...]
[0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 3 seconds...]
[0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 1 seconds...]
This is it! I gently loosened my body with both my parents were confused at. But as the air around me shifted, their eyes widened in surprise. But I didn't notice anything as I kept my eyes closed, as if someone told me to.
[Manifesting Quirk...]
As I slowly reopened my yellow eyes, an animal was in front of me. Its figure was highlighted with white neon lights, but its body was fully transparent. What is this? My quirk? A white transparent fox? I then looked at my system in the corner of my eyes, since I was already being eyed by my parents.
[Name: Spirit Body
Description: The ability to communicate with spirits, as well as the ability to be possessed by a spirit, acquiring the spirit's attributes at the same time.
Owned spirits - White Fox]
Interesting, I wonder, how would my spirit possess me? Let's try and figure this quirk out. Shaking me head, I tried clearing my head to try and let the cyan fox possess me. Moments had passed where I was seemingly staring blankly at the wall very intensely. To which my parents closely watched with confused interest.
"-!"
Suddenly the white fox turned invisible and entered into me, occupying my body. Itching my head and back, it felt like needles prickling my skin. It was only then did something happen. Flesh started growing from my head and back, producing a pain that felt horrible and numbing at the same time. Scratching harder, my mum started getting worried.
"Charles! Are you all right? What's wrong? Can you tell me what's happening? Honey! Call the ambulan-!"
I stopped where I was and looked at what was in front of me, noticing the itching stopped.
(White Fox Possession - lvl 1 - Enhanced hearing, +2 Dexterity, +1 Perception)
That's good and all, but what happened to my body? Why do I feel so... light? Wait, what's touching my ears? Why does my ears feel so sensitive?
Looking around and finally paying attention to my surroundings, I saw my starry-eyed mum and my dumbfounded dad. Seeing her hand touching my head, I wondered how shes touching my ears when they're on the side of my head, not on top-!No... It can't be... rushing over to the mirror in the living room I looked in horror.
"-!"
"Charles, you don't mind me touching your ears right? Right~"
"Dad! Save me!"
Running with my new profound flexibility and dexterity, I dodged a swiping mother and ran up stair into my room. Except I couldn't, dad was forcing me in place. Dad's quirk is called, immobilize, a constricting quirk that stops the target in place depending of the difference in strength between the target and user. We all know who's stronger...
"AAAAHHHHH!!!"
"I'm sorry, but mum said I wouldn't get dinner"
"NOOOO!!!"

Looking at my stats, whilst cuddled on the couch with a hand on my hand and a leg around me, I wasn't aroused by the position. Sure, my mother and I was in a questionable position, it's all due to my looks. Along with the white fox ears and tail, my mum couldn't resist.
While it's been awhile since the initial exposure, I'm still cuddled in her embrace after half an hour. So I multi tasked and looked at my stat page whilst immobilized in her arms and legs. Legs you might say? Yes... legs too...
[Name: Charles Rose]
[Health: 20/20 - Stamina: 20/20]
[Level: 0 - Title: Otherworldly]
[Quirk: Spirit Body - Quirk Level: 1]
[Strength: 2]
[Vitality: 2]
[Endurance: 2]
[Dexterity: 2 (+2)]
[Intelligence: 10]
[Perception: 6 (+1)]
[Points - 6]
(White Fox Possession - lvl 1 - Enhanced hearing)
Sighing, I decided to put half of my points all in dexterity and then one in vitality and two in endurance. Its been 3 years and a few months since I've been keeping those points. I'd thought I'd need to keep those points for my quirk, but now that I've got my quirk and it wasn't really necessary to save up, I spent it all.
Another reason I kept all those points was becuase I still haven't found a way to level up. Maybe through killing stuff, but I've only got the guts to kills ants, flies and mosquitoes. But I doubt that's ever going to level me up. Maybe exercise will level me up or doing some repetitive stuff like running or bat swinging.
I'll try that out later, but now all I got to do now is get out of this 'jail'. Should I start bringing up my future job with mum now?
"Hey, mum?"
"Don't 'hey' me, but what is it? Surely you'll let me keep letting me pet you from now on~" Although she spoke in a mellow voice, the truth behind her words were frightening. Nervously nodding my head im agreement, I got back to the topic on hand.
"Mum, can I be a hero?" The petting hand on my head stopped while she adjusted our heads towards each other.
"What makes you say that? Isnt being a Yakuza member cool and all? What's with this hero stuff?" I nervously jittered, she sounded surprisingly cold.
"I,It's just that, being a hero sound really cool. Being a gangster feels... boring and annoying. But heroes on the other can save people and be cool" Mum rose an eyebrow at my remark of heroes and the Yakuza.
"But that means you'll have to leave the Rose Yakuza family? Do you really want that?-"
"But why can't I be a hero and a Yakuza member at the same time?"
"...That's not how it works. I know your smart Charles, so please leave this alone. I can't do anything about this, and neither can your dad so don't ask him. We're simple subordinates in a large Yakuza, once we leave we'll be hunted down as hostages or for information. Or just simply killed. We have many enemies, so we must even more careful. You understand?"
"I understand..." Hearing a hum from behind me, mum started patting my head. Listening to the hushed lullaby through her hums and pats, I suddenly felt drowsy. As the humming turned into a melody and the sounds started to become muffled, I gently pushed myself deeper into her embrace.
Even though I have a mind of a sixteen year old, there was no impure thought in my head. I just wanted a hug. Some would argue my mental age is 19 right now, but I don't feel like a nineteen year old. I don't act like one, I didn't experience becoming an adult. Right now, I'm still a child. Maybe my physical age is effecting me too much.
"I love you..." Hearing the three words, they echoed in my head almost endlessly. I held back my shame and whispered back.
"I love you too" It felt nice sleeping that night.

It's been a few weeks after I manifested my quirk. After a few appointments and some calls with the Quirk Testing Centre, my quirk is finally registered within the government system. Which I don't know how to feel about.
Testing with my quirk, I've been learning how to control the white fox within me. When I'm not possessed by it I can 'connect' my thoughts with it and tell it what to do. Although no one can see, it like a poltergeist. It can slightly touch things but when enough pressure is applied, it just passes through. I'm sure levelling is up can solve this easier.
Whilst being possessed by my white fox, I gained a few new features to my body, especially my ears and tail. But an interesting fact is that whilst being possessed, my levelling rate of my white fox possession increases drastically. It's already at level 5 which adds an extra point in both dexterity and perception, but another point is added to both vitality and strength. But the actual quirk level hasn't increased so I guess it's not enough.
(White Fox Possession - lvl 5 - Enhanced hearing, +3 dexterity, +2 perception, +1 vitality, +1 strength)
It's it coming together slowly, but surely. The average stat for each adult in this world is about 10, so I have a lot of catching up to do. But what my mother said about heroes and the Yakuza... let's just see the how the future unfolds.
