Ch203- Twice As Smart

Join my Discord!

Hello people! I hope you are doing good, well I have a sad news. My total earning in fell beneath 50 Euros, which is the first checkpoint. Which means, there will be no extra chapters if it does not meet the first checkpoint until end of the month. Just a reminder, I publish extra chapters without getting the payment as I trust my patrons. I will also publish two chapters tomorrow. But if it goes like this, I will not publish extra chapters. Thank everyone for their supports. Keep in mind that I love you all!

As Jin started to adjust the simulation, Toga watched with interest, her eyes switching back and forth between Jin and Mokami. This was an environment she was accustomed to - the silent hum of machines, the flurry of intellectual exchanges, the strong, reassuring presence of Mokami beside her.

Then she turned her gaze to Jin, who was now so different from the man they'd first met. Back then, his split personalities had made him unpredictable and difficult to communicate with. He was fragmented, his own mind his worst enemy. She had thought him a lost cause, but Mokami saw potential, a challenge to be met rather than a problem to be discarded.

Now, as she looked at the man engrossed in the simulation, she could hardly believe the transformation. Not only was Jin stable, his formerly discordant personalities were now working harmoniously, transforming him into a human quantum computer of sorts.

"Interesting…" Jin murmured, his fingers dancing over the keys as he manipulated the simulation according to Mokami's suggestion. "This changes everything, Boss. It's like...like flipping a switch. We've unlocked a new level of potential."

"I'm going to need more time with this, Boss," Jin said, his tone serious as he studied the results of the simulation. "There's potential here, but it's like a delicate flower. It needs care and attention to bloom."

Mokami's response was simple, a single nod of understanding and approval. As usual, he let his actions speak louder than his words. He understood that good things took time, and he was more than willing to wait.

As Jin and Mokami continued their technical discussion, the door of the lab slid open to admit a new figure. She was beautiful, with long ebony hair cascading down her back like a waterfall of midnight silk. Her eyes, a striking shade of emerald, shone with intelligence and determination. She was dressed in a smart white lab coat over a simple black dress, her ensemble completed with polished black boots that reached just below her knees.

This was Haruki, a picture of grace and intellect combined. She held herself with an aura of confidence, her strides echoing the authority she commanded. Despite the seemingly cold exterior, there was a warmth to her that shone through in her bright smile. She was a paradox, as fierce as she was gentle, as stubborn as she was understanding.

As she approached Mokami, she dropped to one knee, a show of respect ingrained in her over time. She raised her head, meeting Mokami's gaze with her own sparkling emerald eyes.

"Father, Aiko, Botan, Chika, Emi accomplished their missions," she reported, her voice steady and clear. "Daichi is still working on his."

Mokami, who had been observing Jin's work, turned his attention to Haruki. A hint of a smile curled on his lips as he nodded in acknowledgment. "Thank you, Haruki. Good work."

Hearing his praise, Haruki's eyes lit up with reverence, a soft blush creeping onto her cheeks. She stood up, brushing off the invisible dust on her knees. As she was about to leave, she turned her attention to Toga. Her face twisted in disdain, and she stuck out her tongue before turning away.

"I will go and see what the others are doing, Father," she said, exiting the lab with the same graceful strides that she had entered with.

Once Haruki was out of sight, Toga puffed out her cheeks, her pout deepening. She looked at Mokami, searching for any sign of reaction. But Mokami remained unfazed, his gaze returning to the screen where Jin was running the simulation.

Jin, who had been quiet during Haruki's visit, cleared his throat, ready to resume their conversation. He glanced at Mokami, then back to the screen, his fingers moving swiftly over the keyboard.

"Boss," he said, "adjusting the fulcrum point did show a significant change in the molecular structure. But I believe we can fine-tune it a bit more for better results."

Toga, feeling ignored, moved closer to Mokami, her arm slipping around his waist. She sighed dramatically, hoping to catch his attention. Mokami, however, merely patted her hand in a comforting manner, his focus remaining on Jin's explanation.

Mokami's eyes sparkled as the simulation on the screen painted a vivid picture of a unique, complex molecular structure. He broke his silence, an air of subdued excitement sneaking into his voice. "Seems like we've stumbled upon a potential game-changer, Jin."

Jin nodded, a smile of satisfaction playing at the corner of his lips. "It appears so, Boss. We've discovered a stronger compound than carbon nanotube. We're venturing into the realm of the impossible here."

Toga's pout softened into a fascinated look as she followed their conversation, her arms still draped around Mokami. "What are you guys talking about?"

"It's a potential revolution, Toga," Mokami explained, a smile touching his lips. "We've synthesized a compound that we're tentatively calling TriNitrum. Its predicted properties outclass even carbon nanotubes, thought to be one of the strongest materials on the planet."

Jin chimed in, his fingers still dancing over the keyboard. "It's all theoretical, of course. We need to produce and test the compound. But if our simulation is accurate, TriNitrum could transform the fields of materials science, engineering, and many more."

An intrigued expression crossed Toga's face. "That sounds incredible, Mokami, Jin."

"Does this mean you have another rank for Skin Enhancements?" Jin asked, a glimmer of excitement shining in his eyes. He was imagining the myriad of possibilities this new discovery could bring.

Mokami chuckled at his query, his composed demeanor never wavering. "It is too early to talk about that. I have yet to adapt to the Rank 3 Graphene Skin. No need to talk about hypothetical Rank 6."

His tone was firm, reminding Jin and Toga that all this was still theoretical. Yet, there was an underlying current of anticipation, the thrill of unearthing a possible groundbreaking innovation.

Toga, her interest piqued, eagerly leaned forward. "What would a Rank 6 look like, Mokami? Wouldn't it make you indestructible?"

"Theoretically, perhaps," Mokami replied, his voice steady and calm. "But the complexities of enhancing one's skin beyond its natural limits are staggering. There are significant risks involved."

Jin nodded in agreement, his fingers paused over the keyboard. "Not to mention the immense strain it would place on the body. Our bodies aren't designed to handle such transformations. It would be like trying to run a marathon without any training."

Jin's eyes sparkled with understanding as he responded to Mokami's words. "That's exactly why you have your rank system, right? You're enhancing your whole body methodically. From organs to bones, skin to nerves, senses to hair, you're increasing their capacity incrementally. This helps you to adapt to the new enhancements, and over time your body won't be strained, even if you change your skin to Carbon Nanotube."

"Absolutely," Mokami affirmed, his voice as calm and composed as ever. "It's akin to learning a new skill. You don't try to master everything at once. You start with the basics, then gradually build up."

Jin turned to him, the corners of his lips twitching upwards. "That's where you differ, Bss. For you, manipulating molecules is as natural as breathing. And you have the mental strength to withstand the strain of such a drastic change."

"You are correct," he confirmed, his voice low but firm. "My Quirk allows me to break down and recreate anything. But it's not without its challenges."

"But, Boss," Jin interjected, his eyes glittering with excitement, "imagine if you could create a TriNitrum layer on your skin. That could make you virtually indestructible!"

"Slow down, Jin," Mokami advised, his voice filled with a quiet authority. "We still have a lot to learn about TriNitrum. And even if it's possible, I'd still need to prepare myself to handle the change."

Jin's head bobbed in understanding. "You're right, Boss. There's much we don't know yet. But," his eyes sparkled with unbridled enthusiasm, "the possibilities are endless!"
