Combination
Neito was standing on the hidden training ground owned by Nezu.
It has been a week since their discussion at the office and the conclusion derived from their discussion was mind boggling.
" Neito kun, do you have both quirks copied? "
Nezu's voice brought Neito out of his contemplation on the new quirks he had managed to copy.
Nodding his head, he showed Nezu his ring and little finger with black strands of hair coiled around them.
" Fantastic, go for it. "
Neito once again nodded, then took and deep breath and silently put his hands on his belly.
* Swilsh *
A yellow brick like object started emerging from his belly, it would have been hard to identify it normally, but it's shiny metallic appearance gave it away.
" A gold brick Neito kun? Really? "
Shrugging lightly, Neito finally managed to create the gold brick and grabbed it out of his belly.
Taking it in his hands he started playing around with the brick, biting into the soft 100% gold bar.
" Why not? Gold is a pretty useful metal in general, knowing how to create it is important. "
Nezu shook his head, he might even believe that if he didn't see Neito smirking while checking the purity of said golden bar.
But now was not the time for this, they needed to check his ability in great detail, they had a very big breakthrough to make.
" Now now, you can create as many as you want later, we have more property than what you can currently conjure anyway, so I don't see the point of this. "
Looking at Nezu, Neito shook around the golden bar like it was a toy, a very expensive toy.
" You see this old man, this is the money I earned, with my own ability, it has a different meaning to it. "
Laughing lightly Nezu gave up, it was surely his ' ability ' that he ' earned ' it with, but this was just him twisting words.
" Fine, now onto your next quirk Neito kun, I have a lot to do after this as well. "
Hearing that Neito became serious again, after tossing away the gold bar like it was worthless Neito ignored it, now was not the time for jokes.
He was now fully focused on his second quirk, and as soon as he started he become more chubby.
His baby fat was now a bit on the high side, but nothing much happened after that.
Grabbing his now puffy little hands, Neito twitched his eyes, this quirk was not a fancy one.
" Fantastic, how do you feel, tell me about both in detail. "
Sadly looking at his chubby arms for a while longer, Neito looked at Nezu and told what he felt.
" The first quirk 'creation' is handy to use, very versatile but things are slow to make and has a high demand for knowledge. "
" This second quirk 'fat' on the other hand has no demand for knowledge, it just takes my nutrients and converts it into fat, I do feel a little hungry after this though. "
Nodding his head, Nezu jumped from his platform and came upto Neito.
" You see it now Neito kun? A quirk that can make anything out of stored fat, but it can't help you gain fat itself, making the process inefficient. "
" The second quirk makes you fat and fat alone, while it has other uses after a bit more stockpiling, but it's nowhere as useful as creation. "
Going to the golden brick discarded by Neito, Nezu picked it up, and looked at Neito.
" Both of their users have to handle these problems in some fashion, to make their quirk more effective. "
" But you Neito kun can break that rule, try to use both of these quirks together now Neito kun, go on, give it a go. "
Handing Neito a bar of chocolate, Nezu went to the side, taking the bar from Nezu, Neito ate the whole thing in a few bites.
He then took a deep breath and bent down, exposing his back to the air for maximum surface area.
" Let's begin. "
After Nezu's teachings Neito finally figured out how to activate both of his copied quirks at the same time.
That was what he was doing right now, activating fat and creation simultaneously, with the hopes that they complement each other.
* Swilsh! *
Way quicker than when he had used creation before, this new quirk combination was instantly spawning a gigantic construct out of his back.
Massive metallic wings way bigger than Neito's entire body sprouted from behind him, complete with it's own jet engine and balancing mechanism.
* Clank *
Two more grippers emerged from his back and attached the wings to his body.
" Done. "
Neito's words made Nezu smile, this entire contraption took 3 seconds to make.
Only three seconds and a chocolate bar, this was what Nezu was after, this was the biggest benifit of a quirk capable of holding multiple quirks.
Quirk complement.
" Hahaha! Fantastic Neito kun! I see you managed to remember the mechanical hawk I had shown you earlier. "
Nodding his head with a smile on his now non chubby face, Neito turned on the wings connected to him via nerve attachments.
* Woooosh *
The jet engines switched on and Neito started floating in the air, but he didn't do anything more, while a microcontroller was also created with this, it didn't seem to have the code it needs.
' So I can create computer devices but I can't create it with os installed in it. Figures. '
Coughing lightly to get the attention of Neito, Nezu walked closer again, it was now time to tell Neito why he did this experiment in the first place.
" Neito kun, how is the concept of quirk combination, what do think of it's potential? "
Still floating in the air, Neito rubbed his chin, and said thoughtfully.
" It should be very high, if I develop these two quirks more, not only can I create more fat out of less nutrients, I can also create objects much faster. "
" If I take the time to practice more thoroughly, I am confident I can build structures as big as skyscrapers in a few seconds. Creation itself can never accomplish this, a regular human simply doesn't have such fat reserves to make that possible. "
Nezu gave a satisfied smile to Neito and nodded sagely.
His pupil was making him proud, he quickly grasped the pros and cons of the quirk and knew how it could be used better than it's orginal owner.
Now that is taking copy to it's next level, not a single minded copycat but making something greater out of a quirk.
