IIlya using her newly bought clothes, she looks like her mother if not for her short height and lack of asset
"It really suits you" Shinji commented and Ritsu nodded in agreement
"It makes me feel closer to my mother," Illya said happily, it was a sentence that gives Shinji grief because until now Illya never asked to revive her parent
"...so where are we heading now?" Shinji asked "we still got time..."
"According to Nezu guide, there is marked where you can buy a type of illegal drugs" Illya open the guide and pointed, "It said it has the ability to neutralize and improve quirks"
"You are interested in that?" Ritsu furrowed his brow
"Ritsu you should not forget, I am an alchemist!" Illya puffed "Even though it was just a simple drug that can neutralize quirk for a limited amount of time but you must remember quirks is a biological evolution that 'deviate' from normal resulting superpower"
Hearing Illya explanation, Ritsu realizes something "It has the potential to be an all-cure medicine, you just need to decipher the formula and improve it"
Illya grinned happily that Ritsu understand.
"Isn't you can just ask me about any formula Illya?" Shinji asked "I can just use the Root"
"You won't understand an alchemist pride big bro" Illya pouted "Inventing something and asking something is a two different concept"

"Blood," Illya said after inspecting the drugs that she buys" whether it was the one that can improve quirk or the one that neutralizes it. It contains the blood of the same person"
"Are you sure Illya? " Shinji said
"100%," Illya said with a murderous face "Big brother call Nezu, we need to talk!"
For Illya that caged by his grandfather for his own use, this is some kind of berserk button. Just thinking that there is a person out there having caged without any freedom because they are 'useful' makes Illya blood boil.
She had experienced that kind of life, she didn't want anyone to experience it!
"There is no need to call me Miss Illya" Nezu appeared out nowhere using The Second "I already waiting for this moment"
"Explain," Illya asked with a voice that cold as Ice
"Very well" Nezu nodded "in simple terms, I added that page about that drug in 'hope' that you will notice it"
"It not 'hope' if it was a certainty " Ritsu pointed out "you know we will notice it using The Second"
Nezu cackled and clapped his hand "Astounding observation Miss Ritsu." and continue his explanation
"In short, I can't move to save the victim that being caged without arousing suspicion" Nezu said, "while I indeed, I want to save the victim but my desire to keep my secret is greater."
"Understandable" Illya nodded "you are afterall is experimented on by human, it was a good reason for you to not trust them"
"Sorry" Nezu apologized "it just even though I know that not all human is bad but sometimes I still get nightmare because of it. That was the reason I can only ask you three"
"Us?" Ritsu confused "aren't the three of us is human thoughts?"
"Ritsu you must remember, you are a former Al, I am a Half-Homunculus and big brother is a Magician" Illya explained "while big brother is a human, sometimes big brother thought process is more similar to a deity"
"...remembering Shinji reaction when Izuku want to commit suicide, I see your point" Ritsu remembered Shinji earlier sentence 'I can just revive him anyway'
"BTW, how the heck master of The Second, that literally can see every 'what if' in existence can't save a single victim while hiding a single secret?" Shinji deadpanned
"I don't know to be honest" Nezu shrugged his shoulder "somehow in every 'what if' where I save the victim my secret exposed and the timeline will pruned around 3 years"
"...sound like Fate and Destiny to me" Shinji commented "but I take your word for it"
"Do you know where is the victim located Nezu?" Illya asked
"That is the question that I waiting for" Nezu grinned

Status Update!
Name: Ritsu
AKA: Ritsu Box, Box of Moe
Race: Artificial Intelligence/Human
Strength :[A little weaker than your usual 14 years old girl, but considering she still adapting to human limb it is understandable]
Endurance :[She supposed to have the endurance of 14 years old girl but Shinji tinker it a bit so now she can walk into a raging bullet fight without taking a scratch]
Agility :[Ritsu is really slow, understandable because she is still adapting to human limb]
Luck :[Her luck rival a certain hero of justice, considering in the original distant finale sooner or later she will outlive her classmate, a fate worse than death for any sentient being, so is rather justified]
Skill:
Technopathy/Hacking (D)
Ritsu can literally wrestle the control of any computer interface above certain specs(Most computer after the year 2000 is fair game but below that year is depend of the specs) and using it better than her own human limbs, basically, on a certain computer, she is unrivaled unless facing another AI entity that has sentience like her.
Parallel Mind (B+)
As former pure Artificial Intelligence, she can process many things at once. She literally can do 28 different tasks minimum at the same time and can be higher but unlike AI that limited by its specs(that means she can change specs for better parallel mind processing) human brain has limited power for many different tasks. Currently, 40-80 different task is the limit before her brain got a headache…
Assassination (EX)
An assassination skill Ritsu gained by following the class E training, it was an assassination skill engineered to fight against super-life-form that capable reach 20 times speed of sound in a matter of second, if used to target normal human, the target pretty much death.
Charyeok: Arceus the Pokemon God (Fake) (C+)
An art of contract. Charyeok means 'borrowing power'. In sense, Ritsu is borrowing a portion of Arceus power and making it her own using her imagination and empathy.
By her imagination Ritsu can summon all 18 plates, gaining a portion of Arceus power, and use any pokemon moves.
Arceus even if fake is still a literal Creation God that can create a freaking universe, It supposed to taxing the stamina of the user heavily enough to make any normal human faint after a minute but because Arceus didn't even take any payment except a small amount stream of mana. Ritsu literally can enter this mode without any consequences
The C+ rank is because Ritsu still not master it enough
