Reno was really surprised, feeling something melt under the touch of his hand was a strange feeling that is hard to describe, this world sparked his interest more, there is a big difference between watching the anime and personal experience of the quirk, it was a strange feeling but at the same time Reno felt powerful, the feeling that you are able to melt things with just a touch was great.
Reno looked at the table on which there were now two hand-marked holes,he put his hand back on the table and as he was about to activate his quirk, he suddenly stopped after noticing something strange,there was a vague aura around his hand, barely visible, had it not been for his sharpened senses like a former assassin and his careful observation he wouldn't have been able to see it,Reno focused on this aura, after a while drops of sweat formed on his forehead and he started to feel tired, but he also noticed that the aura around his fingers and hand extended about 2 centimeters in all directions and then stopped stretching, Reno didn't understand what this aura was But he felt that he was about to faint from fatigue ,so he activated his quirk and to his surprise this time the hole was not in the shape of a handprint, but was circular, not only that, but Reno noticed that the area that melted was larger than the previous two times, precisely the area that melted was where the the limits wich the extended aura reached.
Reno fell to the ground panting but his smile quickly widened, his eyes radiating a look of joy, he finally understood what happened, and if his theory is correct, his quirk is not bad at all, it may now be weak compared to other quirks but after some training ,it will become a more lethal weapon than 'The double dagger style' wich he used in his previous life.
'This aura seem to represent the area that I could melt, the larger the aura get, the larger the contact area get, which mean my attack will be more lethal." Reno was overjoyed, and he was glad to discover this at such a young age, if he trains his quirk hard in the coming years, anything that fall In his hand will suffer.
Reno got up from the floor and went to the table again, this time not putting down the right hand he had used before but instead placing his left hand,He wanted to make sure he could use his quirk with both hands, after watching his hand he smiled again, it seems he can use his quirk with both hands.
Reno withdrew his hand and then took off his shoes and put his leg on the table, he wanted to know if he could operate his quirk with his foot, Reno was really a greedy person, not only that he could use his advantage with both hands, he wanted to use it with his feet too, but unfortunately for him nothing happened when his foot touches the table, after trying the other leg, he reached the same result.
Reno touched the table with all parts of his body, his head, his tongue, his teeth, frankly he looked like crazy, but after all these experiences he realized that he could only operate his quirk with his hands, then he raised his hand in the air and tried to activate his quirk but to no avail, he concluded that his five fingers and palm must be in contact with the target so that he can operate it.
Rino's breathing became more and more rough, and he sweated profusely, he realized that using his quirk took his stamina, but he was happy with this discovery, compared to other quirks that make some vomit, have diarrhea, break limbs and even those who become stupid for a while, his quirk was great In this regard, if it was consuming his stamina, he had only to raise it with training and he would be able to use it more and more, and it happened that he will start training soon, his body will continue to develop, and his stamina will increase over time.
'Looks like I won't have to worry about the drawback of my quirk at all, that's a very good thing, now I can focus my time on maximizing the contact surface when using my quirk, I'll also have to do some other experiments to see my limits, I might melt a wooden table but what about rocks, what about steel, walls and other hard things, what about living things, it may be only work on inanimate things, I have to understand everything about it' Reno thought to himself as he made plans for his future, then dragged himself into bed, he was exhausted from using his quirk, with his current stamina he can only use it 3 times, once he got to bed he fell into a deep sleep.
Reno got up at 5 in the morning, everyone gets up at 7:30 for breakfast, but Reno decides to start his training,he set a temporary schedule, jogging and some physical exercise in the morning, then after breakfast he does some martial arts, after lunch he trains his quirk until it's dinner time, after dinner he sleeps to get his energy back.
Now there was another problem that bothered him ,it was the perforated table, he knew that the female workers were cleaning the rooms, this matter will come out and the only explanation was that this was the work of a quirk, it was a protocol that when someone awaken his quirk ,it had to be recorded, Reno didn't want his quirk to be found out, because its use in the future will indicate to him, he could change his table with someone else's table or from another empty room, but he knew that by doing so he will raise suspicion, he was the last child to enter the orphanage, the matron must know the characters of the other children, he will become the first accused And lying to the matron in this regard will only backfire at him, this will be an villain act on his part, and since he is the son of two villains, lying will only make the situation worse and more, he was made between two bad choices, it was like he had to choose between a sour or bitter drink.
After some thought, Reno decided to tell the matron, he still needed this place right now, and even if his quirk was registered he didn't intend to use it soon, so he didn't have to worry too much right now.
Reno came out of his room to the yard and then started his training, it was a 10km run, 100 push ups, 100 sit ups and 100 squads, but of course it was impossible for him to be able to do all that with his young age and weak body. So as soon as he ran 2 km and did 20 of all the other exercises he felt exhausted and stopped, he really broke his limits with this exercise, breaking your body limits was fine but only by a small margin, if he insisted on continuing after all this exhaustion it would only lead to a permanent injury, Even breaking the limits of the body has to be within limits, you have to train smart, no one go to lift 250lbs on his first day in the gym,only idiots do that, doing that will only cripple him.
Reno finished his exercises by seven, he went back to the orphanage and took a shower and then went to his room, by 7:30 the bell rang , all the children woke up and went to the canteen for breakfast.Rino ate greedily and asked for more food, all the other children looked at him in astonishment, his appetite was greater than his age, they wondered where he was putting all that food.
"Little Reno seems to have a great appetite." The matron looked at him with a smile. she knew from Kenji about the events that had happened to him, so she was not surprised by his great appetite.
"Actually, mother, I don't usually eat a lot, but yesterday something happened to me that made me feel very hungry," Reno replied, of course his answer was nonsense, his hunger is caused by the training ,and he said this because of his desire to strengthen his body,he need a lot of food in order to do so,so he used the situation to his advantage.
"Something happened yesterday?! What exactly happened?" asked the matron, Reno's answer piqued her curiosity.
"That…..you'd better come to my room, you'll understand as soon as you see it." Reno replied, making the matron more and more curious.
"Okay, finish your breakfast and let's go," said the matron, Reno quickly finished his meal and led her to his room.
When they came inside, Reno pointed at the table. The matron looked at the table, a look of astonishment appeared on her face. There were two small handprints on it, as well as a slightly wider circular hole. She looked at Reno and asked, "What happened?"
Reno put his hand on the table and suddenly the place he put his hand on melted, her eyes widened upon seeing this scene, then she looked at Reno, "You, you seem to have awakened your quirk, did that happen yesterday?"
"Yes, and every time I use my quirk I get very hungry, so I ate a lot of food for breakfast, I'm sorry."
"You don't have to apologize for this, the important thing now is to go to the hospital to register your quirk" said the matron, and then took Reno to the hospital to check and record his quirk, when the doctor asked him what he wanted to call his it, he told him it was called 'melt', after completing the Registration,Reno went accompanied by the matron to the orphanage.
"Reno, don't use your quirk on the furniture of the orphanage, you'll do a lot of damage," the matron warned Reno, who nodded.
"Okay, it's lunch time now, let's go," she said , and went with Reno to the canteen.
After lunch Reno returned to his room,now it was time to train his quirk. Reno sat in front of his new table,his damaged table had already been replaced, he put his hand on it. He didn't intend to melt it,rather he focused his training to increase the extent of his quirk, the larger the area of contact and the more the aura extended the better,it was in his favour.
Reno's quiet life in the orphanage continued like this, he trained his body to get stronger, practiced martial arts, and didn't forget to make good use of his quirk, all the kids called him weirdo, he did not befriend them or play with them, he was obsessed with running in the yard, the matron tried several times To convince him to mingle with the children and play, but he always answered her firmly that he wanted to become a hero and save many suffering children,she was moved by his determination and noble goal, his sad childhood must have motivated him, she was giving him a lot of meals because he was telling her that he was training his quirk on the stones in the courtyard, he convinced her that he had to train his quirk if he wanted to achieve his goal, when in fact he only made sure that his quirk worked also on the stones and also wanted good nutrition to grow his body strong, this was Reno's current life.
