Will was thrown off by the names of the new skills. But before he could even find out what the skills were about, he felt a huge pain tearing through his body.
'Fuck… I was an idiot.'
He should have anticipated this!
If he receives an Aura Skill, the Aura Pathways need to be carved in his body for him to be able to use it.
Will fell on knee, bracing himself with both hands and continuous pain coursed throughout his body.
"Boss! What happened?!"
"I'm calling an ambulance!"
[Iron Will]
"Wait!" Will had to stop them despite being a little preoccupied. Fortunately, Iron Will helped him have enough clarity and control to stand up despite the pain.
"I'm fine. It was a side-effect of some enhancement procedures."
Will was still going through regular sessions of Cradle Regeneration, the result of which was directly tested on them, so they understood immediately, relaxing their guard.
"Boss, I think you deserve it. You can already bench 450 at your age without steroids. It's kinda unfair," said Ethan enviously.
"I can only bench 400 pounds," said Brock, who had a much bigger frame than Will.
Will slowly stood up. The pain had started to fade now.
"Actually, it's not that impressive. Many guys similar to my age can easily cross 450 with roids in competitive lifting," said Will, getting into his car.
"Let's go to the company."
He quickly checked the skills' description, and as he did, his heartbeat sped up.
Saiyan's Masochism (T1): The part of the kinetic energy of the physical attacks received can be converted into fighting Aura that can give a physical boost for 10 seconds. Has a certain degree of permanent strengthening effect.
Dumbest Disguise (T1): Subtly changes your physique and aura, so that even when you look almost the same, it's hard to recognize you. The effect can be enhanced by using glasses.
'Now we're talking!'
Will was beyond excited. It seems that he might actually have a fighting chance with this Saiyan Skill.
Only the names of these skills were trolling. Everything else about them was absolutely priceless.
Will got the skills of two amazing Aura Farmers: Goku, and Clark Kent.
"Is the Transfer of Tech Division done?" He asked Brock on the coms as they drove the company's direction.
"It seems to be done, boss."
"Good."
"Are there any more attempts?"
"None so far. Os City is built like a modern fortness."
Os city is the name of the huge land where Will has established all of his companies, including Osiris and Anubis.
"Boss, why do I feel like you had it shifted because you were just too lazy to go to Oscorp every time for Tech upgrades?" It was Ethan who said this.
Will coughed. "Nonsense. The Tech used in the White Elf suit cannot be lost. With the new popularity and increased lustful eyes, it's obviously better to keep near us."
"But the attempts were mostly made by your geek fans who also wanted the suit for Cosplay," Ethan complained.
With the added burden of Oscorp's tech division, the workload of Anubis Securities has increased, and even Ethan, being another senior executive, has to do more work.
"Ethan, Zip it." Brock ordered.
"Aye-aye."
[Iron Will]
As they drove in silence, Will's skill was suddenly activated, causing him to frown. Then, his eyes widened.
Along with strengthening his mind, [Iron Will] protects his mind from all external influences. And after the skill was activated, Will could feel a subtle force trying to enter his brain!
If the skill had not been activated, Will would have never known. But now, he could feel it!
Then, the strength of the probe started to rise steadily, as if it had no end. Due to this, the strain of his mind was getting unbearable.
But then, the force disappeared, as if it was just his imagination.
Will was immediately relieved. He sped up, driving towards the company as soon as possible. His home and company was built using psychic inhibitors used by the military and shield.
He needs to go reach one of those as soon as possible. Because if that just now was Professor X with Cerebro, his [Iron Will] was no match for it.
'But why?'
What he couldn't understand was, why the fuck did someone target his mind? Did the recent Aura Farming as William Osborn the genius Billionaire backfire on him?
Entering the Os-city, he went straight into the newly built Oscorp Tech Division building.
Inside, he met with Dr. Mendel Stromm, the head of division, and also his father's old partner and robotics expert.
"Dr. Mendel. Is the new environment to your taste?" He asked, shaking hands with the older man..
"It indeed is. What a mini-kingdom you have built, boy! Malls, multi-plexes, pools, amusement parks… and all this with fresh air and greenery. It feels like I have found my future retirement home."
"Well, as long as you like it. Are the Psychic Shielding Helmets ready?"
"They're ready."
"Great, I need one immediately," said Will, breathing a sigh of relief. He's now wearing that thing 24/7.
"How is the Anti-Magnetism Suit coming along?" He asked.
"It's almost complete. Just needs a few finishing touches and of course, fielding testing."
"It needs to be rushed as well," Will said seriously.
Mendel's expression also became solemn. "Do you suspect the recent Bill proposal against mutants is going to cause problems?"
"I'm not entirely sure. But I can see the signs."
…
Exiting the Tech Division in a helmet, Will now entered another entered Anubis Defense Systems.
It was finally time to test his new skills.
Unlike before, everyone greeted him respectfully now, increasing his aura. He was no longer just a rich second-generation after all. But with the recent attack, Will could no longer feel any excitement.
It all comes down to strength. He needs more of it.
Will made his way to the special training division, where John and Rocky were training Jessica.
In front of him was a large space with target ranges, specialized exercise equipment with higher limits, weapons, a special sparing area with impact resistant flooring.
Currently, Jessica was in the shooting range, wearing earmuffs. But to his surprise Patricia was also present, practicing shooting under Jessica's guidance.
Seeing Will approach, Patricia put away her gun and waved enthusiastically and Jessica's eyes also brightened to some extent.
"I thought you had already forgotten us," Patricia said with faux blame in her tone.
"Well, I have been busy," Will spread his hands. Patricia quickly hugged him, a little too tightly.
"That I saw. I laughed so hard after hearing what you did to the bullies. They've been annoying me for a while now."
"That reminds me, don't you have school?"
Patricia shrugged. "Well, I have work."
"Then study basic important knowledge with Jessica," said Will, making her whither.
Will couldn't really blame her. Education sometimes loses to kids meaning when they start earning a lot of money, or get superpowers.
Will had given her a few ad gigs for one of his companies so Patricia really wasn't short of money, and she was also free from her mother's control.
"How's training?" He asked Jessica. "Are you enjoying it?"
Jessica shrugged. "No bad. I like the food more, though."
"The entertainment activities are amazing too," Patricia added.
Will nodded. "Well, let's spar then."
Jessica looked at the Briefcase that Will had put away. "Are you not wearing that?"
"I want to try without it."
"My strength has reached 2 tons," Jessica warned, making Will raise his eyebrows.
'Not completely the TV series then.' He had seen a few clips of the Jessica Jones TV series in which non-enhanced fighters were putting up a decent fight against her.
If she's already able to lift 2 tons, then either she was holding back or she has some of her comics powers.
Will sighed. "Try to hold back then," said Will, stepping into the sparring zone.
"Alright then. Be careful."
Jessica came in fast — not super-speed, but quicker than any human. She threw a looping right hook aimed at Will's jaw.
[Mind Boost]
'She has improved.'
Will sidestepped, catching her wrist mid-swing, and used her momentum to guide her past him.
She stumbled a little, but recovered quickly, spinning back around.
"Telegraph less. You're telling me what you're gonna do before you do it."
Jessica frowned. It seems that she can't accept that Will can put up struggle even without the suit, or maybe she's still a bit pissed over her last defeat.
She lunged again — this time feinting high, then kicking low toward his knee. Her speed was faster, but Will still barely managed to see it as he pivoted, blocked with his shin.
Most of the momentum was redirected, but Will still felt like he had been like with a metal pipe.
He grimaced. But, he also noticed that part of the impact had disappeared, lessening his burden.
At the same time, an invisible aura arose, blowing his hair up. Will clench his fist, and the aura was transmitted to his hand.
Rip
The muscles of his hands swelled, tearing his sleeve and Will executed a spinning punch.
It came in so fast that it generated a sound. Jessica, who hadn't anticipated a counter, was caught off guard as the fist caught her squarely in the face.
Jessica took a few steps back and wiped the cheek.
Will looked down at his hand blankly. Then, a grin crept up on face. Just now, he felt that his right hand could crush anyone.
'So, this is how superhumans feel.'
"Damn! I've never seen the others here do that," said Patricia, breathing a hiss.
"I'm just getting started," Jessica retorted.
Will darted in — enhanced reflexes reading her next move before she makes it — and went for a trip + elbow lock. His technique is flawless… but Jessica also pulled him, not letting him succeed. It's like trying to move a tree.
She laughed. "Cute. My turn."
One hand grabs his collar, the other grips his belt. She lifted him clean off the ground and tosses him across the mat.
BAAM
He tucks into a roll and comes up on one knee. Legs and back was numb from pain, his hair started to flair up, but more. All of his muscles bulged this time.
Jessica saw this time too, putting up her guard. But Will's leg muscles bulged and he came in too fast. She managed to block a few hits but some jabs and kicks managed to catch her, hard.
She once again took several steps back, obviously still not fazed.
But, Will still couldn't help grinning ear to ear. Because what he was thinking was: Can this Aura substitute Bio-electricity?
Can this Aura also be used to power the suit?
…
Xavier Academy
Professor X took off his helmet, a frown on his bald face.
"What's the matter, professor?" Asked a beautiful red haired woman who was standing beside him. This was Jean Grey, aka, the Phoenix.
"I sensed a new mutant a few weeks ago. But his signature was quite weak so I ignored it."
"Today, I sensed a powerful pulse, and it belonged to the same mutant. His previous mutation has gotten a lot stronger and a new mutation has also occurred."
Jean Grey's countenance turned solemn. "Is he a threat?"
"That's the question. His first mutation seems to be Psychic. I tried probing his mind just now and he detected it and protected himself. I retreated after checking his mental strength."
"So, how strong were his Psychic powers?"
"Not strong enough. But… he has improved too fast. Even his mutation energy signature. It's quite unique."
"Then we have to recruit him. Where is he?"
"It seems that he has entered a psychic restricted area."
