Is That A Dragon? (I)

My whole body was covered in black scales… The scales looked metallic, but I wasn't sure how tough they were. I could feel the fire burning inside me, but this time, my body wasn't on fire. I no longer had any clothes on my body, so I couldn't tell how hot my body was. Thankfully, my crotch was covered by a large scale or I would have to worry about my family jewels dangling around every time I transformed.

Feeling somewhat relieved, I started to inspect the rest of my body. I was much bigger than my usual self right now, so my clothes were ripped to shreds when I transformed. I looked at my hands, but they looked more like claws rather than hands right now and it was the same case with my feet. I looked around to check my back and saw that I had grown spikes along my spine.

Thankfully, I didn't grow a tail, or if this is really the power I am thinking about then I needed to tap more into my Quirk before I grew a tail…

"Reo-kun, how are you feeling? Are you in control?" Dr. Akunji finally spoke up, breaking me out of my thoughts.

"Yes, I feel fine" I answered. My voice was much deeper and bestial than before which was expected, considering my current form. "Wow. My voice is really deep!" I exclaimed, feeling excited. I always wanted to sound like an alpha male giga-chad. 

"Good. Good" Dr. Akunji nodded his head. "Do you want to see yourself?" The doctor asked me and it was a question he didn't even need to ask. Fuck yeah, I wanted to see myself so I nodded my head excitedly. The doctor pressed a button and one of the walls opened up to reveal a screen. I could see myself in the mirror and I was looking like The Lizard from The Amazing Spider-Man movie, but with black metallic scales all over the body.

I was expecting to look a lot more draconic, considering if I was right about my power… A minor disappointment in my books, but still a disappointment…

"Alright, Reo-kun, shall we continue with the tests?" The doctor asked, breaking me out of my musings. After getting a nod from me, he pressed a few more buttons and the ceiling opened up to reveal some sort of machine. "Now Reo-kun, there is no need to worry. I am simply going to run some scans, but you need to keep standing there" The doctor explained softly. 

Moments later, the machine started to make some whirring noises and after a minute, it finally stopped. The doctor made some notes while looking at the computer screen before he finally turned toward me… "Some of your emotions are elevated right now, especially anger. I believe anger is your trigger, right?" The doctor asked and at first, I wasn't sure if I should admit it or not, but after thinking for a bit, I nodded my head in agreement.

I realized that he already had the test results, so there was no point in lying… "I see. Are you feeling any different?" The doctor asked in a careful tone.

"Not really. Yes, I am feeling angry, but I am not having any urge to attack anyone or break anything" I answered with a shrug. I realized that he was probably trying to make a psyche profile since he wanted to make sure that I wasn't going to snap if I transformed.

"I see… I see…" The doctor mumbled as he continued to note down on his notepad. "Now, all of the boring stuff out of the way, let me tell you things I discovered about your Quirk" The doctor returned to his usual cheerful self and explained happily. "Your scales might look metallic, but they aren't metallic. They seem to be organic, but I wasn't able to get any concrete results from the scan, but I do know that they are strong enough to stop bullets" The doctor explained happily.

"Your temperatures are a lot higher than usual, but I wasn't able to find any flames on the scans" The doctor took another look at the computer screen and explained.

Instead of saying anything, I took a deep breath and moments later, flames spewed out of my mouth. "...That explains quite a lot. Reo-kun, do you know how hot your flames really are?" The doctor asked, even though he already knew the answer.

I knew that my flames were really hot, but I didn't know exactly how hot so I shook my head in denial. He pressed another button on the console. The floor opened up and a silver orb came out of the ground. "Now, use your fire to attack that orb" The doctor instructed.

I took another deep breath and breathed out… The orb was engulfed in flames and when the flames finally stopped coming out of my mouth, the orb was glowing brightly. "1700° C. Those flames are quite hot, young man, you need to be careful with them" The doctor breathed out, looking impressed. I grinned internally, feeling really smug. Yes, keep the compliments coming, doctor.

"There are a few more tests we would need to conduct, but before that, I need you to feel more angry. Think of anything that makes you angry. We need to see if anger somehow enhances your Quirk or not" The doctor suggested and I was happy to follow his instructions since I needed to check that out myself. I needed to see if I was right about my Quirk or not.

"Alright" I called out and decided to feed my anger and I immediately started to feel the changes. I started to grow bigger and my features started to become more draconic… I finally stopped feeding my anger when I felt the ceiling getting closer… "Wow… You have grown quite big, haven't you?" The doctor asked, looking impressed.

"Can I-" I stopped myself from speaking anymore. My voice boomed inside the closed room and for a moment I felt that I might break the glass separating this room from the observation room. "Can I test my flames?" This time I whispered and even though my voice boomed again, it was much bearable this time.

"Sure, young man, give it a try" The doctor happily obliged.

I took a deep breath and breathed out… However, I could immediately feel the changes. This time my flames were much hotter than before… The orb didn't even last a second and started to melt. Even the machine on the ceiling caught fire and the room was immediately filled with the fire extinguisher gas, but I wasn't bothered by any of that as I was busy laughing like a loon. 

I was right… I had Lung's power, but better…
