My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—
Chapter 310 Overprotectiveness"Ah, this brings back memories... lots of memories..." Tatsuki muttered to himself as he felt like throwing up. He clutched his stomach in hopes that he won't spew anything out his mouth.
Seeing his father's ultimate form made him remember a couple of things from his childhood. That golden armor he wore, as well as the golden trident he wielded matched with his grey beard... it was something that traumatized him when he was a kid. Memories that he repressed started resurfacing in his mind and he couldn't help but take pity on his son who was about to get beat up by his grandfather.
Just like Satoshi who had never defeated his father in a fair practice match, Tatsuki also had never brought his father to his knees. He was superior to him despite his superpower being inferior. When Tatsuki came of age and he could finally register for a superhero license, he stopped training with his father. He finally thought to himself that he was free from all the training he'd have to suffer.
In hindsight though, a major part of Tatsuki's success was all thanks to the hellish training he underwent with his father. Those 'memorable' times were nothing but terrorizing, but Tatsuki easily climbed through the ranks of the Superhero Association Organization thanks to that. At one point, he even felt like his father should be on his pedestal as the number one superhero of Japan... but then again, how could he say such a thing?
After all, his father was not even registered as a superhero. He was only regarded as a normal citizen, and even when he moved to America, no one knew that he already had superpowers. He kept his superpowers a secret, to say the least. Even though he was more powerful than most superheroes out there, he decided to keep a low profile... all for the sake of his son.
People assumed that Tatsuki was a first-generation superhero... but such was actually not the case. This also made Satoshi a third-generation superhero.
Tatsuki could still remember the time when he wanted to give up and just give his top spot to his father... however, his father gave him a couple of sensible words, telling him that it was his own achievement that let him achieve such a feat. Grado even pointed out that he never forced his son to train with him... and somehow Tatsuki realized that such was the case. Not once did his dad force him to train, he would invite him, sure, but he never dragged him to train.
This realization only happened when Tatsuki was already the number one superhero in Japan... and this was also the same time when Tatsuki began visiting his parents more frequently. Around the same time, the bad news about Satoshi's awakening.
When the wind barrier cleared up and Tatsuki got a better view of his son and his father standing on opposite sides of the field, Tatsuki couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. A stray tear fell streamed down his cheeks and he wiped it right away. However, he was too slow and his wife managed to see it. She smiled, wrapping her arms around his as they watched the fight continue through a broken window.
"Isn't this nice?" Ayumu gently whispered as she leaned on her husband's shoulder.
Currently, everyone still hasn't eaten yet since they were waiting for Satoshi and Grado to finish the fight. This was the first time Midoriyama Lize (Satoshi's grandmother) saw Satoshi with his awakened superpower. When the wind barrier cleared up, she couldn't believe that Satoshi had a pretty cool superpower. Even though it didn't stand a chance against her husband for sure, she could tell that her grandson was powerful.
Somehow, she couldn't believe it, so she adjusted her reading glasses and headed outside despite how dangerous it was to be near the two. She sat by the porch, quietly admiring her husband from afar while proudly looking at her grandson from time to time. Just like her husband, she couldn't tell what type of superpower her grandson acquired, but just from one glance, she knew that it had limitless potential.
"I mean, if it looked that flashy, then surely it is powerful... and he's none other than the son of the number one superhero of Japan... not to mention that his grandfather trained his son to become that number one superhero," Lize said to herself with a smile.
With his heart rate spiking due to nervousness, Satoshi stood still, wondering what his grandfather would do next. He didn't want to show any sign of weakness in front of him so he tried to act as if he wasn't out of breath. Even then, Grado could tell that his grandson was reaching his limit.
Right now, Satoshi's form was nothing but flashy. He had his usual black and white robe with a huge collar and a cape. A Dark Orb floated on his right side while a scepter of pristine white color floated on his left. He wielded two chainsaws, and portals could be seen from behind him. Twelve metallic cogs revolved on top of his head like halos, and fluffy fur coated his neck, wrists, and ankles. Blue licks of flames also appeared from time to time whenever he moved. He was integrated with Ghast, Sain, Sera, and White Lion, hence the flashy transformation.
Satoshi blinked.
And at that moment, he found himself on the ground, eating dirt. He didn't even see or feel anything. One moment he was putting his guard up, the next moment he was on the ground eating dirt. And when he stood up, he saw that his grandfather was still standing in the same spot where he was a split second ago.
Unbeknownst to him, Grado actually used his instantaneous acceleration to sneak behind Satoshi when he blinked. And then he hit him with his trident. Before Satoshi could recover, Grado went back to his spot to leave his grandson even more confused.
"What the—" Satoshi said to himself. His instincts kicked in and he told himself that he shouldn't blink. In a snap of a finger, he came to the realization that his grandfather could accelerate as fast as lightning, and that's why he managed to attack him and return back to his place in the blink of an eye.
Without further ado, Satoshi summoned his trusty water-type familiar, Droplet. He then ordered Droplet to gather water and surround him with little droplets. Satoshi didn't bother integrating with this particular familiar since it's much more useful in its usual form. A few seconds later, a couple of water droplets surrounded Satoshi— this is what he's going to use to anticipate his grandfather. If one droplet was disturbed, then Satoshi would immediately move out of the way.
It was a pretty good strategy, to say the least... however, Grado had more combat experience than Satoshi so he could tell what Satoshi was doing. He raised his trident, and a low thunderous growl erupted from the sky.
Streaks of lightning started shooting down from the sky but Satoshi dodged them easily using Ghast's portal creation skills. The droplets that surrounded him also helped with his reaction time and he was simply untouchable.
"Gotcha," Grado muttered to himself.
As soon as Satoshi teleported to one place, Grado was already standing there. Furthermore, he appeared right where Satoshi's blind spot was. Before Satoshi could disappear Grado grabbed him by the shoulders, clenching it until it dislocated. The grip was so strong his fingers dug through Satoshi's shoulder. Despite Satoshi's impregnable defense and the beast integration that granted him more offensive and defensive capabilities, Grado still managed to dug his fingers through his shoulders. Satoshi screamed in excruciating pain as he brought the chainsaw toward his arm.
Grado's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that his grandson was willing to part with his arm just so he would be able to get away from his opponent. Such a daring move was something that should only be done in a death match, and yet Satoshi was doing it right now. Without further ado, Grado blocked the chainsaw with his wind barrier, earth barrier, ice barrier, and flame wall combined.
"Grandson, what are you doing?" Grado called out as he let go of his shoulder. He didn't expect his grandson to have trigger-happy impulses when he just wounded him a little bit.
Despite Grado completely letting go of Satoshi's shoulder, it was already too late, Satoshi put too much force into his swing and he completely cut his arm.
Pupils dilating, Grado's mouth hung open, his jaw-dropping on the ground in shock. He couldn't believe that his grandson just cut his arm like that. He was too shocked to even move.
As for Satoshi, however, he finally saw an opening and he teleported right behind his grandfather. In that instant, his left arm grew back thanks to Sera's insane regeneration ability. As soon as he stepped out of the portal, he pointed the chainsaw on his grandfather's neck.
The entire scenario happened all too quickly, it didn't even take three seconds for everything to unfold. And when Grado came back to his senses, a chainsaw was already pressed against his neck.
