Back at the apartment,
Zen Shigaraki stared at his ceiling - the evening sky playing by through his window.
Things escalated very fast once Kim Suho was sorted into the hospital. There wasn't any life threatening risk for now, but half of his stomach and lungs were severely damaged.
Even with all the high level doctors gathered, they could only patch Kim Suho up in the end. The effects of this injury would linger throughout his life. Affecting the amount of strength he could conjure normally.
In other words, a lifelong crippling injury.
And the results of doing such an action?
Zen Shigaraki was expelled on the first day of his school. They didn't take his actions of hurting their most important student lightly.
'It's interesting seeing the hero association take my side. Stating it to be due to my imaginary trauma? Well, it would have been interesting to break out of the juvenile and gather some problem childrens, however this isn't bad either.'
They let Zen go after giving him the punishment of never being able to join the hero course again in this life.
'What a joke.....Every last one of their actions amuse me.'
Through this incident, Zen came to learn of many problems in his actions. He let emotions influence his actions too much.
Zen might have gotten All for one's personality and abilities - but he had no experience to speak of. His ego dictates every last of his actions which might pose a threat to him.
'...The current me is too weak.' This fact irritated Zen.
At least, not everything was a waste of time today.
[The host has crippled Kim Suho permanently! Obtained 800 origin points!]
[Showing the world how the demon lord reigns supreme! You have left a deep image in many people. Obtained 250 origin points!]
[The quest has been completed. Obtained 1,000 origin points!]
'I was able to leave an impression on Chae Nayun, albeit an unpleasant one. She isn't going anywhere for now....first, I need to fix the problem with my strength and gain more influence.'
To conquer Chae Nayun, the most important factor would be influence. Since focusing on her individually won't spill much gain - the first pawn to start her reform would be the murderer of her mother.
Zen Shigaraki looked at his origin points.
[Origin points:2,187]
'I won't be coming to the limelight anytime soon after going into the underworld in a few days. Besides strength - I will do what needs to be done before leaving.' Zen thought of the few people and their gifts that interested him.
Without hesitation, Shigaraki added 2,100 origin points into his template swiftly.
[All for one (modified): 7.30%]
[Ding! The host has obtained three new quirks (gifts).]
- [Overclock: This gift allows the user to stimulate their brain's perception of information, granting them hyper speed, reflexes, and an improvement to their healing factor by 120%.]
[Evolving - grade 8] [EXP 0%]
'Wait....' Zen paused at the first gift confused.
"Didn't All for one give away this quirk in the story? System?"
Zen wondered how he was able to get this broken ability, though it doesn't affect strength and is more focused on speed - it would be a marvelous addition to his arsenal.
[Yes. As stated before - the host can acquire all the quirks that All for one stole throughout his life.]
'....Even power stockpile?'
[Yes]
Excitement rose and fell within his chest rapidly.
"Power stockpile would be useless initially, but I know it's potential this time. It can be used with almost every gift I possess."
After contemplating for a while, Zen felt very satisfied with the new information and continued looking into what other gift he was rewarded.
- [Forcefield: This gift allows the user to generate a yellow force field to protect himself from attacks] [Current sturdiness compared to a low-intermediate shield.]
[Evolving - grade 8] [EXP 0%]
- [Black Lightning: This gift allows user to shoot black lightning bolts from his body.] [Low-intermidiate]
[Evolving - grade 8] [EXP 0%]
[The host's EXP has been enhanced for all gifts!]
Every last gift was very useful to Zen, they would act as his new identity from now.
Having already exposed [Air cannon], continuing to use it openly later for what he was going to do - would gather suspicion.
After taking a look at his status, Zen Shigaraki saw that some of his gifts had evolved to grade - 7 (Mid-intermediate level). Namely [All for one], [Air cannon], [kinetic booster] and [Brawn boost].
But the true problem began from here, after this level - without the system, it might take months to rise a single grade up.
In high-intermediate level, it would even take years to raise a single grade.
'I hope the system can increase the EXP faster in the future.'
After done with the status, Zen decided on finishing his work in this city as quickly as possible.
'Lyz Surtur and Kim Ho Sup, their quirks will come in use to me immensely. I can't give up on them easily....'
Hearing a knock on the door, Zen walked before it carefully and opened it.
"Your delivery has arrived sir." A young man smiled at Zen and handed over the package carefully.
Taking it in, he closed the door behind him without hesitation. They were items he ordered from [Violet banquet] just an hour ago.
Being able to deliver them so quickly, showed the amount of influence they held in their hands.
Taking out his new regal black suit from the package, Zen Shigaraki changed into it carefully. The clothes fit him perfectly as if matching his body.
- [Black lord's suit: Has the ability to change size depending on the wearer and self repair capabilities by automatically absorbing mana when damaged.] - 600,000 won.
There were no defense capabilities, but this was the only suit which fit Zen's taste and the most affordable one he could get his hands on.
Taking out the black mask with white bony structure drafted on it - reminiscing of a broken skull - Zen tilted it around.
"Not bad..." Zen murmured and placed it into the bag he prepared.
Packing all the clothes and stuff he owned, he prepared to leave this apartment permanently.
Zen Shigaraki's expression grew colder as he decided on his first Target.
'Kim Ho Sup.'
