*Boom!*

  Kaminari appeared behietsu once more, his fist crag with electricity as it struck. Just before Tetsutetsu could turn around to defend himself, Kaminari had already dodged to the right and nded a pun his dazed oppo's side.

  To be fair, the reason Kaminari could attack so recklessly without w about causing real harm was thanks to Tetsutetsu's Quirk. His steel transformation made him the perfect sparring partner, a human pung bag that could take a beating without getting seriously injured.

  As for Kaminari's current teique, it wasn't anything particurly plex. It was essentially aension of his previous "electrotherapy" move, except this time he was using the electricity to stimute his muscles rather than someone else's heart.

  By direg a trolled amount of current to his muscle cells, he could temporarily enhance his speed, reflexes, and strength. The electric stimution activated his muscles, allowing him to move with heightened agility. The increase in speed was the most noticeable, though his strength beed as well. After all, speed without a solid foundation of strength wouldn't get him very far.

  The idea for this teique came from his memories of past inspirations. While it wasn't quite on the level of Enel's lightning powers from One Piece, it was something akin to Killua's "Godspeed" from Hunter x Hunter. Of course, Kaminari's current version was still a far cry from that kind of mastery.

  For now, it was more like a low-level version of "Godspeed," though he preferred to think of it as the first stage of his own path toerfeg that kind of high-speed movement. And so, he had given it a fitting name:

  "High-Speed Movement."

  The name came to him almost by ce after he'd initially perfected the teique, as he had been fiddling with his Pikachu-themed arm clock at the time. The move's description matched the ability "Agility" from Pokémon: "Makes the user's body lighter, greatly increasing speed."

  It was simple and fitting—a reminder of his roots and inspirations.

  *Boom!*

  At this point, Tetsutetsu was starting to lose his footing. The repeated hits and staric shocks were taking their toll. His bance wavered, and with o punch from Kaminari, he finally toppled to the grouric sparks still dang across his metal skin.

  "Tetsutetsu!" Kaminari called out, letting the electricity dissipate from his body as he quickly rao help his friend up. He hadn't expected the steel boy to go down like this. After all, Tetsutetsu had takey of punches earlier without showing any signs of weakening.

  "Huh? Oh, I'm fietsutetsu said, shaking his head and standing up quickly as he brushed himself off.

  "What were you thinking about?" Kaminari asked, skeptical that his punch had actually been strong enough to knock down someone as durable as Tetsutetsu.

  "Hehe, I just got distracted for a sed…" Tetsutetsu admitted, scratg his head in embarrassment. Then, with a puzzled look, he asked, "What was that just now? How did you get so much faster?"

  Kaminari was about to expietsutetsu interrupted himself. "No, wait… you weren't that fast. I could still see your movements. I just… couldn't keep up."

  Kaminari grinned, realizing that Tetsutetsu had hit the nail on the head. "Exactly. It's about agility."

  "Agility?" Tetsutetsu repeated, frowning in fusion.

  Kaminari nodded. "My movement speed did increase, but not to the point where you couldn't see me. Your eyes and mind could still follow what I was doing, but there's a differeween seeing something and being able to react to it."

  He tinued, "My attack speed, my ability to ge dire, and my reflexes are all several steps ahead of your body's rea time."

  "So, that's it…" Tetsutetsu murmured, deep in thought as he tried to figure out how to close the gap between his reas and Kaminari's movements.

  Kaminari tapped his friend's steel-coated shoulder and added, "Plus, your body is heavy when you're transformed."

  "Even though you're much strohan the average person, your body mass and the density of your steel form slow you down in terms of quients. You might have raw power, but if you 't hit me, then what's the use? You 't just stand there a me keep taking shots at you."

  Tetsutetsu didn't like that, and his expression showed it. "But you haven't actually done any damage to me," he argued. "And I'm immuo your electricity!"

  "It's like trying to swat a mosquito with a on," he tinued, his frustration mounting. "Sure, you might be fast, but if you get caught even o'll be game over."

  Gotcha, Kaminari thought with a small spark of satisfa. His earlier taunts had worked; Tetsutetsu was riled up, and that's exactly what he had wahe steel boy's overfidence had given Kaminari the opening he o try out a special move that might just be effective against him.

  Of course, if Kaminari really wao hurt Tetsutetsu, he could push his Quirk to its limits and unleash a massive surge of electricity a million-volt shock, perhaps. He doubted that Tetsutetsu was pletely immuo su extreme amount of electrical power.

  But that would have some… unpleasant side effects. Even if Tetsutetsu didn't sustain serious injuries, the resulting brain overload would probably leave him in a dazed state, giggling and giving a thumbs-up like a brainless idiot.

  And Kaminari didn't want to win like that.

  He rolled his eyes at Tetsutetsu's boast and asked, "Oh, you're not vinced?"

  "Of course not!" Tetsutetsu huffed, his face a mix of determination and irritation. "If I just stand here, I bet you couldn't do anything to me! There's no way you keep this up forever!"

  "Funny, I could say the same thing about you," Kaminari replied dryly. "You 't keep that steel foing indefinitely, you?"

  Tetsutetsu flinched. "How did you know that?!"

  The look of sho Tetsutetsu's face was almost ical. He had beeain that he hadn't mentioned any limits to his Quirk.

  "It's not that hard to figure out," Kaminari said with a knowing smirk. "When you get to U.A., you'll learn all about it."

  Kaminari's eyes gleamed with i as he sparked up once more, electricity starting to crackle over his body. "You think I 't do anything to you? Let's see about that."

  "What are you pnning?" Tetsutetsu asked, narrowing his eyes as he braced himself.

  With a fident grin, Kaminari said, "I'm going to show you why I said you might still be living in a dream. Get ready, because you're about to learn just how powerful lightning really be."

  He let the electricity flow through him, feeling the familiar surge of energy build up in his muscles. "Don't worry," he added with a mischievous glint in his eyes, "this won't hurt… much."
