Primary and Secondary Quirks

In the twenty-square-meter rented room, Chiffon stroked his chin and pondered endlessly.

More than a hundred Quirks lay before him for him to choose from. For a moment, his eyes were practically dazzled, and he had no idea which one to pick.

All Might's One For All was not among them, nor was the bald man's All For One. It seemed that every person's Quirk was different. Even if their attributes were the same, the results when used could be worlds apart.

Chiffon even saw some utterly useless Quirks, such as charging electrical appliances, turning both hands into electric fans, or turning both feet into propellers. Such Quirks might have some commercial use, but using them in battle would be a joke.

Since he had Quirks to choose from, he naturally had to choose one he considered the most powerful and with the greatest potential for growth.

"Lightning Attribute, Light Attribute, Dark Attribute, Wind Attribute, Ice Attribute, Air Manipulation, Recovery Attribute, Strength Attribute, Metal Attribute, Poison Gas Attribute."

Chiffon thought these types of Quirks were all pretty good, but choosing one among them was difficult. Water and fire were everywhere already. He had to choose a Quirk no one else had ever possessed. That would be cool.

"Air Manipulation." Chiffon muttered the words. He remembered that the owner of All For One had a stolen Quirk called Air Pressure. But compared with Air Manipulation, it seemed far too limited. Air Manipulation could produce Air Pressure, but Air Pressure could not achieve Air Manipulation.

Based on the anime My Hero Academia that Chiffon had watched on a tablet in a Taoist Temple in his previous life, only some Quirks had been revealed, such as Yao-yorozu's Creation, Bakugo Katsuki's Explosion, and Shoto Todoroki's Half-Cold Half-Hot. In short, those strange Quirks were basically all accounted for.

But the ones Chiffon had picked probably did not exist in this world. Even if they did, there were likely only a few. To be honest, Chiffon really wanted the Air Manipulation Quirk. Just imagine suddenly making an opponent suffocate during a fight. That was a rather terrifying move.

He would not even need to fight. The enemy could suffocate before noticing him, without anyone knowing who had done it. Just thinking about it was thrilling.

But Chiffon also felt that the Light Attribute was excellent. Though he did not know its exact traits, there was only light and dark. The two were naturally opposed, like yin and yang in Taiji—one primary, one secondary.

Chiffon was not planning to choose a Dark Attribute Quirk. After all, he intended to apply to a hero academy in the future. An attribute like that would naturally make people think of darkness. Of course, Fumikage Tokoyami was an exception. Though his Quirk, Dark Shadow, was rather dark as well, he had character settings to back it up, okay?

If he chose a Dark Attribute Quirk, and he was Chinese on top of that, people would definitely think he was a spy or a villain.

Better safe than sorry. Chiffon did not want to gamble. What if that Dog-headed Police Chief arrested him for research? He still wanted to live a few more years.

Then again, if he randomly chose any one of these attributes and cultivated it to a certain level, he could crush most Quirks. Most importantly, he could cultivate the Dao in this world—commonly known as cultivating immortality.

Over the past few days, Chiffon had observed that Spiritual Energy was faintly present everywhere, but it was never abundant. If he wanted to cultivate from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage, it would be harder than reaching the heavens.

By the day he reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, his Quirk might already be fully developed.

Still, having one more means of protecting his life was better than having none. This was no longer the anime he had watched, but a real world. Perhaps this world was far bloodier and more complicated than the one in the anime.

No matter what environment they were in, people needed to remain rational. Chiffon understood that principle very well.

"I'll choose the Lightning Attribute." Chiffon had made up his mind. Few people should possess this attribute. Denki Kaminari's Quirk was electricity, which was nowhere near as good as his lightning, okay?

There was another reason: Chiffon had selfish motives. What if he cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Stage someday? Who knew whether there would be a Lightning Tribulation? If there was, would his Lightning Attribute Quirk not come in handy? Once he reached the Foundation Establishment Stage, neither One For All nor All For One would be his match.

Then he could fulfill his ambition. What was that ambition?

His ambition was to become the strongest person in the world—to stand at the summit in this era filled with heroes and darkness, possess everything, and protect those he loved.

Chiffon indulged in the fantasy for a moment and smiled happily. After laughing for quite a while, his expression turned serious as he said to the system in his mind, "I choose the Lightning Attribute Quirk."

"Congratulations, host. You have obtained the right to choose a secondary attribute Quirk. You may select one additional Quirk alongside the Lightning Attribute Quirk."

Chiffon: "???"

There was actually such a good thing? Chiffon was instantly dumbfounded. Was this system really that overpowered? It seemed he was different from characters in other novels. When other people transmigrated, their systems always screwed them over at the start, yet his system was treating him so generously?

"I choose Air Manipulation." Chiffon chose Air Manipulation almost without thinking. With the Lightning Attribute Quirk covering for it, this covert trump card could definitely remain hidden and catch enemies off guard.

After Chiffon chose his primary and secondary Quirks, bolts of lightning instantly erupted from within his body. After the lightning flashed, a brief vacuum appeared, reducing every sound to silence.

Chiffon lived in a residential complex that had already existed when his soul transmigrated into this body. However, according to the original owner's memories, the body had no parents. In other words, he was now an orphan.

This residential complex had also been built by the government for civilians, only for impoverished households. Chiffon belonged to one of those households.

Looking at his utterly wrecked room, Chiffon was not annoyed in the slightest. Instead, he was incredibly excited.

At this moment, he could sense two forces within his body. The Lightning Attribute Quirk came first, followed by Air Manipulation. Judging by their strength, both were still at an extremely basic level.

Host: Chiffon

Quirks: Lightning (Thunder God's Arrival), Air Manipulation

Quirk Levels: Lightning (Thunder God's Arrival) (LV1/0/100), Air Manipulation (LV1/0/100)

Storage Space: None

A stream of information appeared in Chiffon's mind. Somewhat puzzled, he asked the system, "How do Quirk levels increase?"

The system explained officially, "There are two methods. The first is to obtain Quirk Experience Fruits through the lottery system, which can increase Quirk experience and enable level-ups. The second is to rely on personal training and continuously adapt to and develop your Quirk, thereby accumulating Quirk experience."

Chiffon understood. No matter what, if he wanted to become stronger and make his Quirks more responsive, he would have to rely on the Salvation System's scam-like setup and save people to obtain rewards.

Once his Salvation Points increased, he could enter the lottery, which meant his strength could improve.

In his previous life, Chiffon had counted as half a Taoist priest. Taoist priests might not excel at much else, but they had plenty of perseverance. Even if he could not save anyone, he could slowly hone his Quirks. Besides, it was still very early. Izuku was still Quirkless, while he already had two Quirks.

Compared to that, Chiffon felt much more balanced.

In this world where darkness hid beneath the light, Chiffon's eyes showed an unprecedented resolve. In his previous life, he had been an obscure, useless Taoist priest. In this life, with such powerful Quirks and his personality, he was bound to stir up plenty of trouble.
