Alone on the rooftop, Izuku's thoughts were shattered dreams and simmering resolve. He closed his eyes, letting the wind whip through his hair, and the flood came.
Memories not his own surged into his mind: Zoro's swordsmanship, Sanji's agility and precision, Luffy's raw, unyielding strength and elasticity. His body, trembling moments before, moved with uncanny grace as he opened his eyes.
The system spoke quietly, only in his mind: "Monster Trio powers integrated. Harem potential initialized. Devotion mechanics active."
Below, commotion erupted—a crowd had gathered near the streets, panic flashing through their faces. And at the center of it, Momo, ensnared by the slime's tendrils, struggled to break free.
Izuku leapt, moving with fluid precision and instinctive strategy, his newly awakened abilities guiding him. Every dodge, every strike, every motion was perfect. He reached Momo, slicing through the slime with careful precision, his heart pounding as he set her free.
Momo's eyes met his, wide with awe and gratitude. She stumbled slightly, and he steadied her, their proximity sending a quiet pulse of warmth through the system.
"Thank you…for saving me," she whispered, voice trembling. Izuku simply nodded, determination blazing in his chest.
This was only the beginning. The system had awakened, the Monster Trio powers flowed through him, and the first bond of his harem—the girl who would become his first partner, Momo—was sealed in a moment of danger and trust.
