12 11th Quirk : Published

---20 Days Later---

After 20 days Croc not only finished the first volume of the manga but also scheduled an appointment with HOP productions which has been around for the last 100 years and is this worlds leading manga distributor. Before Croc had looked up if any of the manga from his world were in this one. But except some similar, but worse ones, this world had completely different manga from even before quirks appeared. So there is no problem releasing the manga from his old world.

Arriving at the building there is a picture of a dog with a pirate hat on it's head. This dog is actually the mascot of the company and has been for a hundred of years. Walking in Croc went up to the secretary at the desk.

Croc : Hello I have an appointment.

Secretary : Name please.

Croc : Wani

Croc used his alias to schedule his appointment since he had the chance.

Secretary : You should be called in around 5 minutes please sit and wait and someone will get you when ready.

Croc : Thank you.

Croc went to have a seat and could smell fresh paper in the air. It was also just right cold temperature to feel calming. It didn't take long for someone to go and greet him though.

??? : Hello Wani-sensei my name is Nakamoto Jin I will be reviewing your manga.

Nakamoto is a normal looking middle aged man with short black hair and brown eyes. Nakamoto extended his hand to greet Croc who shook his hand and greeted back.

Croc : Nice to meet you Jin-san pleasure to work with you.

Following Nakamoto into a small closed off office Croc gave his manuscript to Nakamoto and they both sat across from each other.

Nakamoto : Do you have anything to say before I look at the Manuscript?

Croc : No it's fine.

Nakamoto then pulled out the manuscript for none other than History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi! He started with this manga since it is one he has trained by copying the moves and techniques from the most. Although in his last world a number of things in this manga were not possible but this is a manga/anime world and his physique was perfect for it! Ever since Fugaku first trained him in Muay Thai he was wondering if it was possible to follow manga to learn other martial arts. Although it was hard, it was possible! He has focused on Muay Thai and Chinese Kenpo though since he found a lot more enjoyment out of them then the others.

Back to Nakamoto, he was surprised when he saw on the first page the sentence that said "In this world there are no heroes, only MARTIAL ARTISTS!". In Nakamoto's profession he has seen a lot of aspiring manga artists but this is the first time he was captivated from a single sentence. Going to the first page he found it to be on par with most professionals in terms of art style and it was even colored! Reading through the first volume brought a lot of emotions to Nakamoto. From the meeting of Kenichi and Miu to the bullying and finally going to the Ryōzanpaku. Nakamoto felt a burning passion but the biggest thing he felt was potential! Potential to change the manga industry from it's very core!

Nakamoto : I'll be frank. I want to publish this novel as soon as possible, but I'm not sure if we can keep the color.

Croc : Can I ask why you can't keep the color?

Nakamoto : The price for making the book will go up and we will get less of a profit.

Croc : I'm not very knowledgeable on this about how much profit loss would there be with and without?

Nakamoto : About 7% give or take.

Croc : But wouldn't you pull more reader if it is colored? It may even go over the 7% loss.

Nakamoto : There is a chance, but there is also a risk of not making it.

Croc : I made this manga in color, and so, I know this is quite hard situation for you, but I will only publish it in color. Or else I won't publish it here.

Nakamoto hearing this was really in a tough place. But they have published with color and succeeded before but this is too much for him to choose alone.

Nakamoto : Wani-sensei if it is okay can you please let me bring this to a higher up to have it evaluated?

Croc : Okay I have 3 hours before I have to get home.

Nakamoto : It shouldn't take that long.

Leaving Nakamoto entered the hallway and immediately opened his phone and made a call.

Nakamoto : I found something amazing but I'm in a bit of a pickle I need your advice.

An hour and a half later Nakamoto came back with an older balding man.

??? : Hello are you Wani-sensei I am Jiro Hirotaka I am from the publishing department and we choose to publish your manga as you said, but we need to finish the contract so can you please come with me.

Afterwards Jiro led Croc to his office and they made the contract. There was a bunch of paperwork as well as needing a guardian to sign for him since he was young but it got done in the next few days. They also decided he needs to create a new volume every 2 and a half months which was easily doable.

---16 Days Later---

Half a month after finishing the contracts and the paperwork Croc found a suitable apartment for what he wanted. It was a 1LDK apartment with a small kitchen a large bedroom and living room but most importantly an extra large bath! Ever since coming to this world Croc's favorite thing to do is lay in a warm bath with only his nose sticking out of the water. He always found it soothing and felt natural. On his way there he saw that it was quite the nice area with a park nearby and a small bridge with a natural river even though he is in the middle of a city. Arriving at the 5 floor apartment Croc immediately went to the front desk to inquiry about the room.

Croc : Hello I'm here about the 1LDK on the third floor.

The lady at the desk hearing this just smiled and said

Lady : This isn't the place to play jokes. Do you have friends watching?

Croc : No I'm seriously here to inquiry about the room.

Lady : This is not a joking mater people pay a lot of money to stay here. A little kid should not joke around like this.

Croc was starting to get mad. But since he was in his 5 feet tall form he did look like a little kid.

Croc : So its because I'm not big enough?

Lady : Of course you are only a child after all.

*SSSSHHHH*

Suddenly steam enveloped Croc and blew the lady back a bit.

Lady : Ah whats going on! What ha-

Before she could finish speaking the smoke cleared and gave her a full view.

Croc : Is this big enough?

Croc was in his actual 6 and a half feet tall form and was now towering over the 5 and a half foot receptionist. He still had a young looking face but he could not be called small. His shirt that he had on also got semi destroyed from the heat so now you could see his well body in small burned holes.

Lady : Uh-uh-uh y-yes about t-the room...

The lady was very surprised and a bit scared of Croc now that she is being looked down on by his crocodilian eyes. She quickly composed herself and decided it wasn't worth trying to argue and just told him about the room.

Lady : This particular room is 267,000 yen a month and has a large living room and bedroom as well as a small kitchen and an extra large bathing room.

Croc then asked the lady about renters insurance and the rules of the apartment such as pet/curfew and a bit more.

Lady : This apartment does have renters insurance and for pets they are allowed but not anything over 4 feet tall and also there is no curfew but you could get a complaint for being too loud. If it is found you get too many valid complaints you will be kicked out.

Croc : Is it alright if I come and look at it over the next few days?

Lady : Sure but if someone rents it in that time there is nothing we can do.

Croc : Okay I'll be back tomorrow at about 5 PM.

Lady : I should be here at that time, so I will try and help if I can.

After that Croc left and had a look around.
