Chapter 2 - Your New Secret

When Raiko's mother saw that her son quirk could basically create quirks, she was all too happy. This was unheard of, one of the strongest quirk in Japan, no in the whole world, but seeing the confused faces of everyone in the room except her, she started to explain what she her hypothesis about her son's quirk.

"I have a theory about Raiko's quirk. You all know that I can see quirk energy using my quirk right? And that I could see that Raiko had a high quirk level, but strangely no quirks. I think I know why. My theory is that he got a mutation of both my husband and my quirk fused. Orkyo's quirk allows him to absorb manipulate Life Energy and my quirk can see Quirk Energy, and I think that he can absorb and manipulate his Quirk Energy. That would explain why his quirk levels (AP) continuously augmented since he was one year old and why he just created my quirk!"

"What! He created your quirk! Dr. Shibuzo shouted with an incredulous expression, that's unheard of! But if what you said is true, then it makes sense…"

"I know, I can see my own quirk when I look at him, but we can test it pretty easily."

She turned to Raiko and said:

"Raiko, try to use my quirk, ok? Focus on your eyes and you'll be able to see the golden energy you say inside you, but this time it will be on other people."

The four-year-old child closed his eyes, concentrating and then reopened them, but this time they were shining, as sign that he was indeed using Quirk Vision.

"Wow Mom! I can see the pretty gold energy one you! And Dad! And on the old man! And -he frowned- I can feel numbers on them!"

After he spoke, everyone in the room had beaming smiles on their faces, they were obviously very happy with the Quirk Raiko had. All three had worked with quirks the majority of their lives and knew that having any quirk you want, at any time time you want would be more than incredibly useful. It was basically the perfect quirk.

But soon, Emyu's face turned dark, she realized what would happen if someone learned of their son's quirk. He would surely be taken away, he could be the perfect anything. Need the best healer possible? Just force him to "buy" healing quirks. Need to teleport, infiltrate, assassinate? Make him "buy" a warp quirk, invisibility quirk and you got it.

"Raiko's quirk must be a secret, I think you all know what would happen if someone with bad intention , or even the government would learn of his quirk. They would take him away, and I can't allow that! No one will take my Raiko from me! Uncle Shibuzo, I know you shouldn't do that, but please write of his quirk as mine, it is technically not a lie…"

Shibuzo smiled and stated, a small smile on his face:

"Don't worry, I was already going to do that, I can't let anything happen to such a cute kid, can I. And, like you said, it's technically not a lie, only part of the truth."

"Mom, why do I need to keep my quirk a secret? Why, it's awesome, Raiko asked, interrupting the adults. He was unsure about what they were talking about, he heard his name, quirk and they seemed serious about it. But one thing he was sure of was that his quirk was awesome, so he wasn't all that worried."

"Raiko, you must know that if other people learn about your quirk, then maybe bad people will come for you because your quirk is very, very powerful. It's your new secret, you need not to tell anyone, not your best friends or even family, understood? For now, you will tell people that your quirk is Quirk Vision, ok? But as long as you don't tell anyone you'll be fine. And you still will be able to use it, you just need to not tell anyone. His mother replied, taking him in her arms and then hugging him."

"Ok, I will not tell anyone! It will be our secret. But I will become strong! Strong enough that I so that bad people can't do anything to us! Raiko said, seemingly understanding what she was trying to tell him."

"Thank you, Raiko. And thank you Uncle Shibuzo, for keeping out secret. It means a lot to us."

"Don't worry, I would do that anytime for you, the kind old man replied, as if he had not just done a criminal offence and risked his licence as a quirk doctor."

Later that night

After the eventful visit to the Quirk Test Center, the family of three celebrated Raiko's fourth birthday. They ate cake, opened presents and played games together. Overall, it was a very fun night for the three of them.

Now, Raiko's mom and dad were in their chamber, Orkyo on the bed and Emyu pacing back and forth thinking about what to do to keep himself and make him strong. She finally started talking:

"You know, as bad as I sound saying this, but we should try to know more about our son's quirk and experiment. It will help him a lot to see its limits, weaknesses, if it has any and how it works. We could probably also suggest a couple a quirks he could get himself, you know like Accelerated Growth, some intelligence and memory boosters, regeneration quirks, generic quirks like that are always useful, no matter what he wants to do in life."

"Yeah, I agree, though we won't treat him as a lab rat, we will only give him suggestions and I should probably start to train him soon, I was a combat medic before you got pregnant. And it would be a good idea to start a list of generic quirks he could "buy", like you said."

"I'll start the list tomorrow, and you start a training plan, nothing too hard, he's four. Good night."

"Sleep well, dear."

The Next Day

The next day was normal, Raiko was trying out his mother's quirk, but he couldn't identify quirks yet, he could only know what type (Emitter, Mutant or Transformation) it was. His mother told him it was normal, though, it took her years before she could start identifying quirks. He still liked it a lot and used it nearly all the time, it's not like he had a lot of other things he could do, though. Both his parents had work-related emergencies, so he was alone in the mansion with his guardian, a kind old lady and the television.

Let's say watched All Might beating villains a lot that day.

Yes, his family was rich, incredibly rich, HIs father made hundreds of millions (of yen) as he was a doctor with an invaluable quirk and his mother was a respected scientist, and when she offered to help identify quirks, it wasn't for free. Raiko's guardian was the only "employee", but she did everything, she cleaned, she cooked and watched after Raiko when his parents weren't home, which was pretty often.

So, he lived in a mansion in the outskirts of Kyoto. The mansion looked more than a castle than a mansion, though, it was all in stone and had towers protruding. Raiko's father had always wanted a castle…

Also, it was huge, like really huge… When his parents learned that they were going to have a son, they went a bit overboard and like, commissioned a huge house. It was so big that Raiko had the basement only for himself…And the basement was three levels… Only for himself…

That evening, when his parents finally came back from work, he was ecstatic, they weren't a lot of interesting fight at the TV that day and he was bored out of his mind. He was waiting for his parents before using his original quirk more because he still didn't really know how it worked, but he had noticed that the number he felt (his quirk level/AP) had increased by four! It was now 626 (2190-1568+4).

A/N: The clarify a bit, the number he is feeling his how many AP he has remaining. The number his mom sees on him is his total Quirk Level.

His parents were also very happy to see him and what his dad told him made Raiko even happier.

"So, do you want a new quirk?"

"Yes! What will it be? I saw this guy on TV today, he had flames and looked mean… Ah Endeavor! Can I learn a quirk like his?" Raiko Asked, hope on his cute face.

"I'm sorry but not yet, you are can't learn a quirk like his yet, ok? I know it sounds boring, but I want you to imagine a quirk that will make you grow up faster, so you can be tall like dad quicker and be powerful quicker."

"Ok, I will be like Dad. I want to grow up faster!"

After saying that, he closed his eyes and a couple of seconds, Raiko's mom gasped. The same thing happened once again she saw his quirk level drop by 570 before going back to where it was before, but now there was a new quirk, Accelerated Growth (570).

"I did it didn't I? Yes, I did it, I have a new quirk! But now the number I feel is only 56…"

And thus, Raiko got his third quirk.
