Welcome back to another chapter The Devil and The Hero.
Chapter 3: Rise of the Devil
Shiro's POV (8 hours ago)
"Uuugghhh, fuck that hurts." I slowly sat up, feeling noticeably heavier but lighter at the same time. I looked down and saw that I was a few inches taller than normal. I looked to the side and turned the heart monitor off before getting the pads off of me.
"Let's see what happened…" I muttered to myself. I swung my legs to the edge of the bed and stood up. I felt momentarily dizzy at the sudden movement and change of height but I persevered. I walked to the bathroom and checked myself out on the mirror on top of the sink. I looked over all my supposedly stitched up wounds turned scars.
'Great, now I have the dual version of Nedzu's eye wounds as well a medium sized third scar going down from near my hairline to the middle of the bridge of my nose.' I noted that my eyes aren't light blue anymore, rather it's grey now. I took off my top and stared at the amount of scars I've had on my body. The stab wounds on my hands and near my heart healed as well the slice wounds from where my left lung to my kidneys are, my abdomen, my arms, forearms, underarms, sides and my throat healed up as well. I turned around and tried to use my original quirk, High Sense, to see the reflection from the mirror by using the tile walls. The main one that got my attention was the slice wound that went from my nape down to the center of my back.
"Huh, healed up nicely as well." I took a quick look at the rest of my scars and saw that they healed up good like the rest. I got out of the bathroom and took a quick walk around the room, trying to see if I can find anything interesting. I sighed before turning off the lights and shadow walking to the lost and found room.
'I was 5'4 before all this, now I'm 5'8 thanks to Wrath's body growth mutation thanks to his quirk. I wonder if I can grow out my claws.' I looked down on my arms and thought of bringing out my claws. And just with a simple thought, the veins on my arms became very visible without me even flexing and my nails turned into claws.
'Damn, I guess only through switching can I feel the strain of Wrath's quirk but now that we became one, I can't even feel it. This is amazing!' I grinned before I turned my arms back to normal and searched for clothes that fit me. I took off my pajama pants and wore the boxers then the jeans then socks and blue rubber shoes. Next up, I put on a red fading to black t-shirt with black sleeves and a leather jacket along with a grey beanie and sunglasses. I then turned the lights off the lost and found room and shadow walked back to my room.
'Time to get out of this place.' I opened the window from my room before sticking my head out and looking down.
'5 stories up huh…' I stepped up on the edge before taking a deep breath and leaping up to the air. I flew way up in the air, with only being 20 to 30 feet away from the clouds. I grinned and yelled inwardly in excitement.
'WOOOOOOOOOOO!' It's been awhile since I've felt this alive. I looked down and saw I was about to land on the roof of an apartment building and prepared myself. I landed before jumping forwards again, making a small crater on where I landed on the roof before seeing a water tower and landing there without breaking through. I stood on top of it before taking a deep breath and in one fracture of a second of breathing, I can already smell blood 8 miles away. I sighed in satisfaction, knowing that I can still smell so far.
'Time for an experiment.' I sat down on the tank and just activated my High Sense to its very limit.
'Huh, guess all my senses improved by 30%. Where am I exactly?' I turned around and saw the Hosu General Hospital.
'Hosu huh?' I went back into experimenting. Back then, the maximum range of my sense of smell was 400 to 500 meters, now I can smell up to 650. As for my hearing, from 250 meters to 350 meters, now it's 455 meters. Eyesight, from 50 miles to now 65 miles. My sense of touch, from 140 to 280 meters, now 364 meters. As for my sense of taste, back then I can taste if my food is bad or poisoned with the slightest touch of my tongue, now when I let my tongue out, I can taste the smoke from a car that drove past 48 feet away down below. I deactivated my quirk before smirking.
'This is gonna be fun.'
