"You really gotta explain more about your powers to us at some point, Gray," Sona said to me as we both lay on the couch in my girls' apartment—'cause they got the bigger TV and better couches to chill on. Plus, Sophie and Veronica were about to start cooking some food, and it was some dirty chili with rice and cornbread that they put this honey and butter glaze on.
"I will explain to you girls at some point, but not yet—until I make something for you girls," I said a little loudly to make sure Sophie and Veronica could hear me from the kitchen.
I really want to tell them about my powers, even if it's just a little bit, because I don't really like to keep secrets like that from them. In all honesty, if I didn't have people I care about in this world—like the girls—I wouldn't hide myself at all like this. I'd be out there, traveling while helping and saving people. But I got my girls, so I'll put their lives above everything else.
Anyway, I got the email that school should reopen this coming Thursday, and today is Sunday. The school got blown up on Wednesday, so by the time it starts again, we'll have been out for about 9 days total if it starts Thursday like the email says.
Also, I'm going to make a full body workout plan for myself because I do want to get stronger. Plus, I'm sure I can work out for a long time until the pain of sore, aching muscles and mental tiredness kicks in and makes me stop. I'm going for a lean-bulk kind of build like those people in Lookism have. And because of my perfect memory and the Essence of Blank, I should be able to recreate their moves—but it'll take some practice. I'd have to find someone to train with, too, since training alone only gets me so far. Training with someone who can fight back is better for me.
While I'm watching TV with Sona, I'm training my control over my mana by sending different amounts of it to various parts of my body at the same time. That'll increase my mana control because it allows me to do things like a "mana punch" or "mana jump." Moves like that take focus, so if I can do them fast, that's good for me.
I stop paying attention to the TV and put my face into Sona's neck—she smells pretty good. Then I hear some Japanese intro music playing on the TV, so I look back up and it's the intro to the first season of Demon Slayer.
"You decided to put on Demon Slayer?" I asked her, starting to focus on the TV as the intro ended, and I wrapped my arms around Sona to pull her closer.
"Yeah, it's a good anime, so I decided to put it on," she said as she reached for a root beer that she kept on the floor, then leaned back into me.
I nodded in agreement because I do like Demon Slayer a lot. Honestly, compared to the version in the 'real world,' all the characters here are about 1.5 times stronger than the original anime and manga. It also explains the breathing styles better and why demons need to eat humans—because human flesh is the only thing with the nutrition they need. All the characters are still the same personality-wise, though.

I let out a groan and unwrapped one of my arms from Sona, reaching over to the armrest of the couch to grab my phone and check who it was.
It was the nerdy bisexual with an attitude—aka Tim.
"What's up, Timmy?" I asked as I answered the phone and put it near my ear.
"Nothing much, Gray. I'm a little bored, so I wanted to ask if you can come over to hang out for a bit?" Tim asked, sounding a little stressed.
"Let me ask, so hold on real fast," I told him, then asked out loud, "Can I go to the Waynes' to hang out with Tim for a bit?"
While I waited for an answer, I could hear Sophie and Veronica talking in the kitchen about whether I could go to Wayne Manor. Based on how the convo sounded, they were probably gonna say yes—I was just waiting for the official answer.
"Only for three hours, because I want you here for dinner. I'm making rico arroz con habichuelas y bistec," Veronica said from the kitchen, and I realized why I smelled so much vinegar coming from there.
"Yeah, I can, so I'll be there in a few," I said to Tim as I unwrapped my arm from around Sona and started pouting a little as I got up from the couch to put on my New Balances so I could go to my apartment and get my bike to ride to the manor.
"Nah, stay there. Alfred is already on his way to you from the moment I called, so get ready," Tim told me. I could hear Damian in the background saying something, but I couldn't make it out.
"Damn, it's like you can see the future, sending him my way before I even said I could go," I said jokingly.
"Yeah, yeah. See you when you get here," he said before hanging up.
"See you later," I said to Sona as I leaned down to kiss her on the cheek gently, then went to the kitchen and did the same to Sophie and Veronica.
After that, I went downstairs to the front of the apartment building and sat on the steps while waiting for Alfred to pick me up. I pulled out my phone to look at Pinterest for some cool designs and ideas for things to make.
A couple minutes later, I looked up from my phone when I heard a car pull up to the curb in front of me—it was the same limo from Wednesday when he picked me and Tim up from school to go to the manor.
Alfred got out of the car and opened the back door for me, saying, "Good afternoon, young Galend. It's a pleasure to see you once again."
"Afternoon, Mister Pennyworth. It's good to see you too," I said as I got into the car and sat down in the seat.
As Alfred started driving to the manor, I began thinking about what Tim might want to talk about. I only really had one idea—Bruce and Tim probably know I'm the dude from last night. Knowing Tim, he probably did a ton of research on me to figure out who I am, especially with all the cameras I bet the Bats have around the whole city. I really doubt Tim would leave my place without planting cameras and sensors, especially with what happened to his parents.
I don't really care if the Bats know I'm the guy from last night or that I have powers, as long as my girls are safe.
So while we were driving, I decided to practice with Zetsu a little bit—it's the only one of the four basic Nen principles I haven't used yet. I took a deep breath, focused, and looked for my aura nodes in my body. When I found them, I shut them off gently.
It felt a little weird to use Zetsu—I already felt a bit weaker. While using Zetsu, I can't use Ren or anything else Nen-related, which makes sense.
I decided to keep using Zetsu so I could get used to it and reach the point where I just have to think the word "Zetsu" and it activates. Plus, it can help with tiredness, so that's a bonus.
After a few minutes of driving, we pulled up to the manor and Alfred drove us into the garage. Once we got there, I opened the door as Alfred got out of the car.
Tim and Duke were waiting for me—with Cass. So yeah… I'm really fucked, because she can read the human body like it's a book. I can't really lie, because everyone in this house is trained to read people—and with Cass here, I'm mega fucked.

[AN: Hello Goblins, it your favorite HIspanic Daddy here with a chapter for you things to eat up so be happy that I feed you.
Did you know that the liver hold all the body bad things like the oils and toxins so in theory you can use the liquid in the liver as poison and to my knowledge there is not antidote for it so do what you want with that info and I am not responsible for anything that happens.
Tommy G is the goat.
Cass is one scary woman like she can bitch Batman if she want to plus she can read people like children books and that scare me a lot plus she is a baddie.
I want to say that none of the Batfam have fully and properly healed body because they are all really damn hard headed where they refuse to let there bodies to heal and rest so imagen a person that can heal them to their fully heal and he asked for basically almost nothing in return.
And my boy Gray will might be giving Damian a magic katana at some point just for the hell of it and Gray will be making some random things that he might only use once in testing it and never touch them again or he would give them to the Batfam because he will be making random things out of boredom cause his worst enemy is boredom.
Pick a breathing style:
Water breathing aka can adapt and it a flexible:
Wind breathing aka strong violent attacks that can basically send wind blades:
Thunder breathing aka fast as fuck boy and neck shot:
Now I kind of base his work out depending which breathing style win, yes I know that he can use every breathing that in Demon slayer but the reason I am going to do that is because it allow him to use that breathing stye easier than other if his body is built to use it. Just like how he can use all Nen types but his strongest and easiest to use is Enhancement yet he can still use all nen types.
Also he would not really use any from of the winner breathing style because he would be using the concept of it like he would use thunder breathing to be faster without using any from.]
