Chapter 3: Chapter 3
When she's sitting down inside the bus and thinks of the panel, she's not that surprised when it appears in front of her. The same words from before are there, and after glancing around to see if there's someone who can see it and confirming that no, there isn't, she accepts.
Another panel, this one bigger, shows her status:
Host: Souma King
Ability: Master Chef (high-intermediate level), Homunculus Constitution (mid-novice level)
Power level: 10B
Energy control: 5%
Character Template: Pride (3%)
Equipment: None
Draws: 6C–Template Draw (x1)
Woah. Does she have a draw already? Oh, right, the one she gained while in that Void. The one she paid with a flaw.
'What does the flaw mean, anyway?'
'Truth: Equivalent exchange means that from now on the host will be under those laws.'
Okay, she didn't understand. 'Will it be like a code she has to follow, then?'
'That, too.'
'Can I get a further explanation?'
'Host needs to ask the right questions for the answers they seek.'
And that's not cryptic at all. 'Anyway, do I get a beginner's package, too? Or that's fanfic-only?'
As if summoned by the words, a panel appears that says, 'Does the host wish to open the beginner package?'
She feels lucky he asked that seemingly random question. So, feeling like that, she opens the package before using the Wheel.
'You have got the next items:
-Shao Jun's outfit (Assassin's Creed)
-Rick's untraceable phone (Rick and Morty)
-Kneesock's Double Gold Spandex (Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt)
-Shun Shun Rikka (Bleach)'
Not bad. Even if she hasn't played Assassin's Creed, what she sees on the display makes her giddy as it looks cool. Also, it's resizable and unbreakable. Hood and all.
Rick's untraceable phone only explains that it's made to stop annoying people from tracing Rick. Shun Shun Rikka is, as she remembers, a simple blue pin with not-so-simple powers. Instead, Double Gold Spandex is a pair of long socks that transform into a pair of black/golden scythes that can destroy ghosts, angels, and humans... Like, what the fuck?
They look cute, though. She would not mind wearing them, but... the part of her subconscious that still thinks wearing girl's clothes is weird has a thin face (easily embarrassed) and doesn't think she'll be able to be seen wearing that, even if in this body she has fine legs if she can say so himself.
Anyway, before she can get excited about all the things she's gained, the system decides to burst her bubble.
'The System has detected that the object 'Shun Shun Rikka' does not follow the laws of equivalent exchange. Changing.'
Wait, what? No!
'Changed.'
With some worry in her heart, she opens the description panel of Shun Shun Rikka.
'Rejection type of Fullbring. Contains three spells: healing (Soten Kisshun), attack (Koten Zanshun), and defense (Sten Kesshun). Attack and defense cost the user's stamina. To Heal, the user will transfer the same type of injury they are trying to heal onto themselves. Increasing the level of rejection depends on what the user wants to sacrifice.'
Woah. Did the system now turn him into some kind of masochist?
Ugh.
Before she can continue observing his rewards, a panel appears in front of her, informing her she only has one minute left before her first lucky hour is over.
"What…?" she whispers out loud, for once grateful to her rowdy classmates for being so noisy that they don't hear her.
'Why didn't you tell me before that I had a lucky hour??' she almost yells in his mind.
'Every system gives its host a lucky hour on the first hour in their new world.'
Shit.
She's about to ask more about it, but by then, the bus has stopped. They have reached their destination. Everyone is getting up, so knowing she has limited time, she orders the system to make the wheel spin for her character template.
Then she doesn't have time to check what she has gotten as everyone else is pushing, trying to go out as quickly as possible, which she doesn't blame as the bus stinks.
It's not until the orientation is done and she's in the classroom that she checks her status once again.
Host: Souma King
Ability: Master Chef (high-intermediate level), Homunculus Constitution (mid-novice level), Hakuda (low-beginner level), Reiatsu Manipulation (high-novice level)
Power level: 10B
Energy control: 5%
Character Template: Pride (3%), Mashiro Kuna (2%)
Equipment: Shao Jun's outfit, Rick's untraceable phone, Orihime's Shun Shun Rikka, Kneesock's Double Gold Spandex, Asauchi.
Draws: 0
Wait, who is Mashiro Kuna?
Probably reading her mind, the system explains briefly the story of the Visored from Bleach, and yeah, she has to put her arm on top of his desk quickly before pushing her head on top to cover the shit-eating grin on her face. It takes a couple of seconds to calm herself. When she's sure she doesn't look like a psycho, she concentrates on the character's template until she sees a new panel appear:
Character Template: Mashiro Kuna (2%)
World: Bleach
Classification: Shinigami, Visored
Tier: 6C
Strengths: Class M
Speed: Hypersonic (BLOCKED)
Abilities: Hakuda (low-beginner level), Reiatsu manipulation (high-novice level), Extrasensory Perception (BLOCKED), Hoho (BLOCKED), Hollowfication (BLOCKED)
Alongside this information, there is a mental picture of the girl. And it's then that she remembers her. It's that green-haired woman from the Visored, the one who enjoyed giving kicks. She doesn't remember ever seeing her Zanpakuto's release, but well, at least her character came with an Asauchi for her to use.
Though, there's no Shikai or Bankai on the list of her abilities. Also, now that he looks better, there's no Kido or Zanjutsu either... did she not know how to use her sword in the least?
Is this why she was only a 6C tier?!
She's not sure what to feel. On one hand, it means she has the potential to be more than what the template offers, but on the other hand, she doesn't know how to learn it.
Maybe the answers will come with the Asauchi she's gained. Maybe she's got a spirit inside of her that she can learn from.
Only time will tell.
