[Six's Months after the attack, and subsequent arrest of my former teacher]
I stood on the roof of my grandfather's business. It was early morning and I was doing my usual tai-chi routine. I absorbed the morning energy of heaven and earth and as my pace quickened at the peak, I felt an internal cracking noise which was followed by a great amount of filth oozing from my pores. I fell to my knees as I let out a large turbine breath as I felt my internal energies growing but also my quirks were advancing (as was my control over it.)
I sat down on the roof and let in and out several quick and deep breaths as I brought my mind into a meditative state. As I entered, I explored everything and nothing; I just let my mind drift until I found something that stood out. Typically, when I grasped it was things from my former life; like knowledge from things, I'd read in a book or online but also martial arts (and other combat skills) I'd seen online or when I went to observe competitions. I meditated for a few hours before my eyes opened and I got up feeling that the world was slightly more serene.
I then walked towards the fire door and went in, making my way down to the apartment; once there I heard grandfather scream at me, "You stink little brat go shower I can smell you all the way in here!"
"Yeah yeah yeah," I said while waving my hands as I made my way to the bathroom but just before I made it through those doors I felt something striking the back of my head.
This was followed by my grandpa's voice, "I'll give you 'Yeah yeah yeah,' you mouthy little shit."
I laughed internally and went into the bathroom. I started the shower, allowing the water to get to temp before I began to get undress tossing the clothing into my laundry bag.
I sniffed the air. "I probably should try to do some laundry before I go to school!"
With that decided I climbed into the shower. The filth soon was rinsed from my body turning the water in the tube into a grayish murk but also, I feel my muscles relax and (previously unnoticed by me) my skin tone had grown lighter.
While I let the water cascade on my face I thought 'Status,' summoning my current info screen.
Name ~: Marcus Cain
Alias ~: The Apothecary
Cultivation ~: Stage-5 of Golden Core ~ Middle Stage
Gender~: Male
Quirk ~: Raw Material Creation {Improved Material Grade available ~ Spirt Grade}
'Interesting' I thought as grabbed a bottle of body wash and squeezed it into my hand and scrubbing it into my hair and working it all over my body before rinsing the soap off.
It took over half of the bottle of body wash to get rid of all of the filth on my skin. Soon the water in the tub went to a beautiful shade of clear (instead of the grey) and after one last good rinsing, I got out and grabbed a towel, and began to dry off.
Once I was dry, I wrapped the towel around my waist and made my way to my room to get dressed. Shutting the door for privacy, it didn't take long to get dressed in a fresh set of clothing before sitting at my desk.
I closed my hands and my eyes glowed. To most onlookers, they'd see a vast galaxy. Suddenly several plants formed on the desk as I looked down at each while using the analyze skill. The plants were all things I used in the 'recover fluid' potion that I sold in school, but these new plants I formed were slightly different: Each had a hint of spiritual energy.
I decided to create the fluid and see the difference between the two so I focused and produced a glowing silverish blue orb of energy. It began to pulsate and a clear and crystal-like container slowly formed on the desk. After this finished, the orb color changed to a greenish one and I began placing the herbs and plants inside. As I did, I could see the material being broken down and a fluid started to grow inside of it. This liquid moved and rolled inside, then after a few moments the orb shrank and I placed it into the container and once the orb was inside it dissipated and the fluid-filled the container.
Even without using the analyze skill I could see a glow from this bottle, making it obvious that selling these was probably not a good idea. 'More of an emergency use product,' I thought. Then I used the analyze and I found I was right. The new fluid was called advanced healing fluid unlike the normal that could only fully heal a minor injury, this also be used to temporary deal with middle and higher-level injuries.
This advanced version of the fluid could fully heal a middle-level injury and could take a person out of danger even with high-level damage, but also, I saw it could restore the person's energy pool for their quirks by half. I muttered as I keep looking at the fluid then swept my hand over it placing the small bottle into my item box as I couldn't just leave it lying around. "Further testing in the future, will be necessary, but at least that's been improved. Still, in this civilization, I'm destined to be nothing more than a support-type hero." With this work finished, I also finished getting ready for school before leaving.
[UA High-School]
As I arrived at school, I did my usual routines. I walked towards the school nurse office and dropped off the newly made potions I'd promised. Like always, I found my communicator ding indicating the funds had received and I tossed the few gummies she gave me as I walked towards homeroom.
I felt my stomach growl so I decided to take off my backpack and placed my hand inside. I retrieved a nurturance fluid that had everything I needed for a day, but I also wouldn't need to eat anything as it suppressed hunger for twenty-four hours. (If only it didn't taste like axel grease, I might be able to sell it too, but I still could use it for myself.)
I pulled out the container and open it before I poured the fluid into my mouth. The familiar taste swarmed me and I had to fight back the urge to vomit, as I swallowed down the fluid. "It's ok, you can do this." As it hit my stomach it felt like cold mud (at first) but as it sat in my stomach the feeling dissipated and a fullness replaced it.
With that done I continue on my way to the classroom.
