6 Chapter 6

After 4 days, I was standing in court.

"My son has started skipping school because he had gotten sick of getting beaten," testified my mom in court.

The judge looked at her, and then he looked at my face.

When I remembered the awful experience of my muscles getting torn up, my eyes teared up.

I turned my head to the other side to hide my tears. The judge had already received a report of how badly my body was damaged, so I was in a winning position.

On the other hand, were Teddy Bear and his gang. They had no argument, no proof of blackmailing, nothing. But I, on the other side, had proof of them bullying me, and they had said many things about the things they had done on the video. 

I didn't want that to happen to them. It's not about revenge or something. But it's about being a man of my word.

"Do you have anything to say, Mr. Minoru?" asked the judge as he looked at me.

"I wish we could have gone for the settlement. But their parents were too cheap. For this, judge, I wish you could discipline these guys. I don't want to see future villains, but future good people. And for that, they need proper reinforcement."

"I judge them 1 year in suspension from school and 1000 hours of free public work," said the judge.

Teddy Bear and his gang started crying.

-x-X-x-

I was back at my house.

Since I had used that muscle-tearing medicine, I got a medical certificate that allowed me to skip school for a week, giving me a couple of weeks' time to train.

The first thing to do was eating protein powder. I then drank the healing potion, which tasted bad. All of the pain I had vanished, my muscles pumping up.

When I stood in front of the mirror, I saw how my body got more defined and my muscles grew slightly.

I turned from an average-looking person to above average.

With a smirk on my face, I took the muscle-tearing medicine from my storage. Looking at it, a part of me hesitated. But I wanted to reach my peak faster.

Another surge of pain pinned me to the ground.

But this time, I was ready.

I had eaten around 5000 calories of bulking protein powder, and when I drank the healing potions, it worked like a miracle. By the end of the bulking season, I noticed how I instantly healed and gained fat and muscles. And so, I kept doing this until the medicine was over.

When I looked at the mirror, I couldn't help but feel prouder of myself.

With me being a 7th rank warrior, plus the muscles, I could go on par with someone a rank higher than me in another world.

Since this was a new day, I decided to go to the gym of this world.

I thought that I would fare well. But when I entered after paying the membership fees, I was astonished.

Some people here were lifting weights by tons.

A dude was benching 3 tons. A woman was squatting around one ton, and they had that look that said they felt weak about themselves.

'Is it the new year already?'

I shook my head and walked to the corner. I tried to bench some weight with the help of a machine.

I could do around 300 kilos.

I could bench it, but with difficulty and not a proper technique.

'The true essence of a fighter is not how much you lift. It's how hard you hit.' I thought to myself as I checked the dumbbells, and I stopped upon seeing a dumbbell with a weight sign of 10 tons.

'Quirks surely are something else. But who the hell makes these things? Forget it. How the hell do they transport them? Maybe some quirk with spatial manipulation?'

I decided not to care about this world's building and decided to focus on myself. If my aim is to get buff, then I'd lift heavy and do few reps. But the problem would be low stamina. If I want striking power when it came to fighting, then I'd need to lift moderate and increase the reps with time, and it's better to start with light.

With that in mind, I started working out to sustain my body.

I had to admit, having experienced all of my body in pain had helped me to appreciate the good slow workout.

'With this, it should be easy to get to UA. Since my brother is a canon character and younger than me, then the canon would start the next year. No, around this time, Midoriya should meet All Might and then the former will work to get into UA. Meaning I'd be in my 2nd year when it happens.'

With that, I kept working on myself for a month.

A full month, and I could help myself with healing potions and protein bulking powder to help myself.

I had expected to end up with something amazing, such as Arnold's physique. But reality was a bitch. I also ended up with a layer of fat covering my muscles, looking like any person on a bulk.

It's time for the cut, I guess. Other than my physique improving and my ability to push nearly a ton, I have achieved a warrior's rank of 3rd rank. Achieving such a result didn't come free as I had spent a fortune buying medicine from the system and good quality Mana stone.

Also, I had deep regret. The Yang breathing method had a very bad effect on me. Like the Yin could make a man eunuch, the Yang had the opposite effect. It surely helped me build my muscles up without steroids. But on the other hand, it gave me Mineta's level of lust. Also, it turned me more aggressive. Like that one day, Teddy Bear came to ask me why I had done them dirty. I told him to man up and take responsibility for his actions before cursing at him.

One would think it's easy to deal with extra energy by going to the red light district. But STDs weren't a joke. Anyway, other than that, Mineta had completed his deal with me, handing me the rest of the sticky balls, 80 in total, and ended up selling them for 50 golden coins each. 

After buying stuff, food, and otherworldly medicines, I was left with 1000 coins.

However, that didn't bother me at all because this morning, I got a notification: [+1500 coins].

It meant one thing. Orochimaru had started selling the sticky balls in upper levels.

I requested a chat with him, and he accepted immediately.

[Yo. Mister Orochimaru, I expected more from an expert like you. Only 3000 in your first day.]

[I'm slowly raising the price. You think me a fool like you selling everything to get money quickly?]

'If I were a fool, you'd have 100% of the earnings.' I laughed out loud.

[I see. What wisdom, great Orochimaru Sama.]

[Are you mocking me?]

Of course, I was mocking him.

[Of course not.]

[Anyway, did you clone him?] I asked.

[Basically, I created a farm for his hair and clones. That chicken-looking guy. The only good thing about him is he doesn't lay eggs from the other end.]

[Lol.] I laughed. [Anyway, I wish you fortune.]

[Obviously you wish since you'd be taking half of it.]

With that, I concluded my conversation with Orochimaru.

I put a leg above another, happy with my life.

I still had less than a couple of months to prepare for my hero course entry. I wore my sport clothes.

Starting my morning with a jog, I made a cycle around the city.

I was on a cut to lose weight, so running was an essential part of my new daily routine.

Because of my speed, running didn't feel boring at all. I ended up in the middle of some street.

I may be now a stronger human, but by no means was I in no need of water.

After sweating a ton, I went to a shop in the middle to buy a few water bottles to deal with water loss.

When I opened the bottle, a couple of people dressed in masks entered.

One of them pointed their hand at the cashier, lightning danced around it.

"Hand over the money and the credit card details," said the one with the lightning.

Behind him, a man grew into a lion-like beast with bulging muscles.

I knew this guy. He was a gym rat. It appeared he was working out while transforming into a lion hybrid.

We exchanged glances. I looked at my water, pretending not to look like I've never seen him in my life.

That guy was way stronger than I am. He could bench 3 tons. To him, there is no good or evil. Only weight, and those too weak to lift it.

"We'll take this guy with us," he pointed at me, "he knows who I am."

I raised my hands, saying, "I'm a blind kid whose quirk allows locating things by hearing them. I have no idea whose identity this guy is." I looked at them, pretending not to know where their eyes were. "Could it possibly be you were in school with me?"

"We workout together in the gym. I spotted you more than one time," he said, "never thought you are a blind person."

And so, he made it impossible to pretend not to know him.

"And I never thought you are an idiot," I replied glaring into his eyes. If you want to keep your fucking identity hidden, you should play along, and I would have forgotten.

"What did you say!" the lion guy yelled.

"No. He's got a point," said villain number three. "You fucking exposed your identity, meaning we should kill both him and the cashier. And I am not taking the blame for that."

"What! Why is it me?" roared the lion guy.

Meanwhile, I tried to sneak out.

But villain number three pointed his hand at me, and a barrier held me from moving. I tried to move, but the barrier was applied to me, taking my shape.

The barrier flew toward them, lifting me along. The lion man stood behind me and put his nail around my neck.

"Where is the cashier?" said villain number two.

When we looked at the cashier, he was no longer there.

Police cars sound.

The door was opened, and a bunch of heroes entered. What caught my eye was the woman in the middle, tall around 175 cm, with curves, a large butt and chest, blue eyes with plump lips, and a pretty face with long dark hair.

'What the hell is wrong with me? Testosterone, right?' I thought to myself, thinking I'm kind of a freak to stare at the hot heroine while being a hostage.

'Why am I not trembling in fear?'

Another hero joined her.

"Take one step closer, and this kid will die," said the lion guy, pointing his nail at me. The man with lightning hands pointed his finger at me as well.

The heroine started moving her hips and walking in a seductive way.

"She's trying to seduce us to forget the kid. Keep guard," the lion said, letting his mouth closer to my neck. "Good thing I'm gay."

'What!' I opened my eyes widely, knowing something new about my previously gym bro. I had thought that I was in danger. But only now I realized it completely.

My energy increased, and my Mana flowed through my body as my heart kept pounding louder and louder.

A red-like energy started spreading from my body, taking the form of plasma streaming around my hand, my chest, and shoulders, flying up.
