"Uh… well, I'll o discuss this with my family. you give me a day to think it over?" Kaminari asked awkwardly, scratg his head and f a sheepish ugh. Internally, he was already brag himself. If Dad doesn't approve this, I'll have tet about it. It's way too expensive.

  "No problem," Dr. Tenma replied, hiding his amusement and nodding naturally. Just then, the artificial intelligence system, "Sadako," chimed in with a notification.

  "Dr. Tenma, Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu has arrived and is being escorted by Secretary Eguro Akemi."

  "Oh? Perfect timing. Let him e straight in," Dr. Tenma said, motioning for Sadako to proceed.

  Kaminari perked up at the news, a smile lighting up his face. He hadn't expected to meet Tetsutetsu this soon, and the thought made him genuinely happy.

  I wonder if this guy has gotten stronger. If not, he's going to fall even further behind me, Kaminari thought with a chuckle.

  He ketsutetsu's determination well, so he had shared the basics of the "Six Styles" with him before. He hoped it would give his friend a long-term goal to work toward.

  Still, he couldn't help but think about how far he had e himself. After gaining trol over eleagic force during his "workpce experience," Kaminari realized how overwhelmingly dominant it made him against Tetsutetsu's Quirk.

  It was almost tragic—like Marvel's Colossus or Wolverine fag off against Mago. No matter how durable eive they were, they would still lose ht.

  ---

  With a soft shhh, the gss doors slid open under Sadako's trol. Kaminari turo see Tetsutetsu stepping inside, his face lighting up when he spotted him.

  "Kaminari!"

  Tetsutetsu's voied with excitement as he strode over quickly. "What are you doing here?!"

  "Haha," Kaminari ughed. "I came to drop off my suit with Dr. Tenma and have some new features added. This 'workpce experience' gave me plenty of new ideas!"

  He then smirked, teasing, "But you're a little te. I already got a look at your battle suit, so you missed being the first oo see it."

  "Eh, what's that matter?" Tetsutetsu waved it off with a ugh. "I was a little bummed about not being able to see it with you, but hey, you're here now. We check it out together!"

  Despite his words, his eyes instinctively waoward the dispy case where the bat uniform was stored. They sparkled with anticipation as he turo Dr. Tenma.

  " I put it on now?"

  "Of course," Dr. Tenma said, pointing to a small gss door on the left. "Go ahead a, theo that room to ge."

  "Awesome! Thank you, Dr. Tenma!" Tetsutetsu cheered, hurrying over to the dispy case. As the gss cover retracted upward, it revealed the full set of gear inside.

  "So it's not just a coat," Kaminari observed as he walked up beside Tetsutetsu. The dispy included a pristine white suit, a pair of bck leather boots, and other accessories.

  This is basically a Marine's formal coat.

  Kaminari grinned, amused by the sight. "Not bad!"

  "Kaminari, wait right here! I'm going to ge into this now!"

  Grabbing the outfit, Tetsutetsu darted into the ging room without waiting for a reply. The door clicked shut behind him, leaving Kaminari and Dr. Tenma alone in the b.

  "Dr. Tenma, I ask—where else could I get SIS memory alloy?" Kaminari inquired, crossing his arms thoughtfully.

  Dr. Tenma looked at him curiously. "Why are you asking?"

  "I was thinking, if I could get another set, I'd like to create a smart battle suit for Tetsutetsu," Kaminari expined, shrugging casually.

  Dr. Tenma sighed and shook his head. "That's going to be difficult. First, SIS memory alloy isn't something you buy, no matter how much money you have. No one is willing to sell it."

  "The only way to get it is to 'find' it," he tinued. "But that's an incredibly rare occurrence. As I've mentioned before, this material isn't native to Earth. We still don't know how it ended up here in the first pce."

  Dr. Tenma's voice grew heavier as he shared more. "It's possible that it didn't fall from spa the st few turies, but was brought to Earth—either deliberately or actally—long ago."

  "But ohing is certain," he added. "Major tries likely have reserves of SIS memory alloy. Loablished glomerates may also have small amounts. However, the quantity each possesses, where they store it, and how they use it are all closely guarded secrets."

  His gaze turned serious as he looked at Kaminari. "In short, it's extraordinarily rare. For an ordinary individual to own it is almost unheard of—and if they do, it usually doesn't stay in their possession for long."

  Kaminari frowned, an uneasy feeliling over him. Dr. Tenma's implication was clear.

  "Are you saying someone might e after my SIS memory alloy?"

  Even as the thought crossed his mind, Kaminari's resolve hardened. If anything, this made him more determio keep his battle suit, not abandon it. His eyes gleamed with quiet fidence.

  "Let them try, if they're bold enough," he muttered under his breath, a faint, cold edge to his tone.

  ---

  The sound of the door opening snapped Kaminari out of his thoughts. Tetsutetsu stepped out of the ging room, his face beaming with excitement.

  "Kaminari, look at this!" he excimed, his voice brimming with energy. "This bat uniform is incredible!"

  He spun slightly, showing off the white coat with the word "Justice" embzoned across the back. "Man, I 't wait to show Kirishima! He's going to be so jealous!"

  Kaminari and Dr. Tenma both took a moment to examihe suit. The design plemeetsutetsu's physique perfectly. The white suit gave him a refined, almost elegant appearance, banced by the rugged fidence of his personality.

  Dr. Tenma stepped forward, clearing his throat. "Now, let me go over some details one more time."

  He gestured to the outfit as he spoke. "First, the material of the 'Coat of Justice' is AF super-smooth alloy. Its surface is highly resistant to most physical attacks and even deflect bullets under certain ditions."

  "This feature is crucial, so make sure you use it wisely in battle," he added.

  "Additionally, the entire bat suit has been enhanced with high-temperature resistance, low-temperature resistance, and insution properties. While it's not pletely immuo these factors, the effects are signifit."

  "One more thing," Dr. Tenma said, his tone more serious now. "sidering the weakness of your Quirk—metal fatigue—we've developed an iron supplement system for you."

  He poio Tetsutetsu's coat. "You'll find iron iions in your coat pockets. They'll allow you to replenish iron during bat."

  "Got it!" Tetsutetsu rummaged through his coat pockets and pulled out a handful of small, color-coded syringes. He frowned slightly at the sight. "Wait—why are the ones in the left pocket different colors, while the ones in the right pocket are all silver?"

  "The left pocket taiatic agents, stimunts, and analgesics. The silver ones in the right pocket are the iron supplements," Dr. Tenma expined.

  "Those extra pockets looked empty, so I thought it'd be better to make them practical," he added with a smile. "We even increased their size to hold more items."

  Tetsutetsu's grin widened as he listened, his appreciation for the suit growing by the sed. He turo Kaminari, his expression full of gratitude.

  "Thanks, Kaminari. If you hadn't introduced me to Dr. Tenma, none of this would've happened!"

  What Tetsutetsu didn't realize, however, was that Kaminari's inal motivation had less to do with helping and more to do with his own amusement, he just really wao see Tetsutetsu wearing a "formal coat."
