One at a time

by Sir-Ock-arz

Kaito Takashi, an ordinary teen with an extraordinary quirk called Duplicate, can permanently copy and store only one quirk at a time, and can swap for another copy at will. A chance meeting with the symbol of peace propels Kaito on a hero's journey, aiming to become the strongest. Written using ChatGPT 3.5, the chapters get longer in chapter 71 onwards.

Chapter 37: Unveiling Evolution

In the wake of the Sports Festival, a new revelation unfolded within Kaito Takashi—a subtle but profound change that manifested during his rigorous training sessions. As he pushed his limits, honing the capabilities of Union and its assimilated quirks, Kaito began to notice a transformation occurring within his own physique.

The skin that encased him felt different—harder, more resilient. His muscles, accustomed to the strains of training, seemed to respond with newfound strength. It was as if an unseen force was sculpting his body, enhancing its natural abilities.

Curiosity fueled Kaito's introspection. As he delved into the intricacies of Union's assimilation process, he discovered a fascinating synergy at play. The Adaptation quirk, a passive ability that strengthened the body to combat harsh conditions, exhibited a unique attraction to transformation-type quirks.

The quirks fully assimilated into Union—such as Hardening—acted as catalysts for this evolution. It wasn't just a matter of copying the quirks; it was an intricate dance between Union and the transformative essence of the assimilated quirk.

Kaito realized that the knowledge gleaned from each assimilated quirk somehow guided the Adaptation quirk to refine his physical form. It was an unspoken collaboration, an evolutionary journey that unfolded as Union absorbed and integrated the essence of transformation-type quirks.

However, Kaito noted a distinction. While his overall durability seemed to benefit from the process, the durability granted by specific quirks, such as Hardening, remained superior when activated individually. It was a fascinating dichotomy—the collective enhancement facilitated by Adaptation versus the individual strength derived from the assimilated quirks.

As the week progressed, Kaito found himself embracing this newfound synergy. The echoes of the Sports Festival still resonated, and the evolution within him hinted at a promising path ahead. With each training session, he delved deeper into the intricacies of Union's assimilation, eager to unlock the full potential of this symbiotic relationship between his quirk and the transformative forces it embraced.

The arena of his training became a crucible of discovery, a space where the convergence of quirks and Adaptation sculpted Kaito into a hero-in-training poised for even greater heights. The evolution, silent but significant, heralded a promising future as Kaito continued to unravel the mysteries of Union and the extraordinary journey that lay ahead.
