"This range... about teers while using 'high-speed movement'? If I go all out, it should extend to fifteeers," Kaminari muttered, the aftermath of his test "mouth on" attack, his body still crag with goldericity.

  "And if I activate the sed stage of 'high-voltage mode'... what then?"

  As a cool breeze swept through the clearing, rustling the branches of the surrounding trees, the golden glow of Kaminari's previous attack began to fade. However, the air was still thick with the sharp, acrid smell of scorched earth.

  "You! Why didn't you dodge?!" Kaminari called out to Tetsutetsu, who stood in the middle of the bed ground. fusion was evident on Kaminari's face. "Don't tell me you couldn't rea time with 'Shave'!"

  To be ho, while the "mouth on" had det speed, it was far from the lightning-fast velocity of his eleagi. He didn't think for a sed that it was too fast for Tetsutetsu to dodge.

  "Heh, of course not!" Tetsutetsu replied with a grin. His iron-hardened body glinted faintly uhe sunlight as he ied the residual heat ging to his skin. "I didn't feel much danger from it, so I thought I'd let it hit me to see how strong your new move is."

  Kaminari rubbed the back of his head, ughing bitterly. "So… what did you think?"

  Inwardly, he he obvious—his current output of 100,000 volts wasn't enough to affeeone as durable as Tetsutetsu. After all, this was just a raest, not a full-powered attack. If he wanted, Kaminari could unleash all the energy in his body in one burst, potentially exceeding millions of volts. That level of power could likely ie eveetsu's iron skin.

  "Hmm... let me think," Tetsutetsu said, scratg his stiff, white hair as he remained in his ironized form.

  "First impression? It's definitely fshy. Almost on par with one of Bakugo's 'fsh bangs.' It pletely overwhelmed my vision for a moment."

  He paused, gathering his thoughts. "Then there's the sound. Wheack hit, it wasn't just my vision, it felt like my hearing was drowned out by the crag of the electricity."

  "After that es the heat and the force of the airwaves. And yeah, I guess if it were anyone else, they'd probably also feel numb from the shock. But holy, the speed isn't that impressive."

  As Tetsutetsu spoke, Kaminari nodded, his grin widening.

  "That's fine," Kaminari said, clearly pleased. "This move is meant to be a le, area-trol teique. Speed isn't its main focus."

  "Alright, let's go again!" Tetsutetsu said, inhaling deeply and adjusting his stahis time, I'll use 'Shave' to dodge. Let's see if you hit me!"

  Kaminari's expression turned serious as he prepared to unother attack. Training was training, and there was no room for sloppiness here.

  "Here it es!" Kaminari warned.

  "Bzzzzzzz—"

  Goldericity crackled around him as Kaminari took a deep breath and unleashed another surge of golden energy from his mouth, aimed directly at Tetsutetsu.

  The scorched earth uetsutetsu's feet glowed red as it was struck by the high-temperature current, being even more charred than before.

  "Boom!"

  Another bright golden dome of energy, like an ied bowl, enveloped Tetsutetsu's position. But this time, before it could explode, Tetsutetsu reappeared four meters to the right, his "Shave" teique allowing him to narrowly avoid the impact.

  "Crack!"

  The golden dome detonated in a brilliant fsh, sending waves of electricity and light rippling outward. The entire sequeed no more than two seds.

  Kaminari wasted no time. He leapt into the air, goldericity spiraling around him, and unched another "mouth on" from above, aiming to catch Tetsutetsu as he nded.

  "BOOOOOOOOOH!"

  As Tetsutetsu moved again, Kaminari immediately targeted his new position with a third attack. He was curious to see if Tetsutetsu could maintain his rapid dodging without leaving any gaps.

  "Boom!"

  "Boom!"

  Two more explosions rocked the clearing, golden energy flooding nearly a third of the space.

  Kaminari analyzed the situation as he prepared his move.

  "The ce of a 100,000-volt 'mouth on' is about four meters in diameter... but if I push it to 200,000 volts, the range doubles to eight meters," he calcuted.

  Taking another deep breath, Kaminari prepared to unleash the full 200,000-volt version of his attack. However, before he could act, Tetsutetsu's voice called out, breaking the rhythm.

  "Wait! Hold on a sed!"

  Steam rose from Tetsutetsu's iron-coated body as he waved his hand, a helpless look on his face. He smiled wryly at Kaminari.

  "I don't think I keep using 'Shave' back-to-back like this," Tetsutetsu admitted. "My right leg feels like it's about to give out. I probably least ten seds to recover."

  Kaminari looked down at Tetsutetsu's trembling leg, notig its slight but visible shaking.

  "In that case," Kaminari said thoughtfully, "if you 't trol the dire and timing of your movement properly, 'Shave' really isn't practical for extended bat. It's too risky, you might only get one ce to use it."

  Tetsutetsu nodded solemnly, clearly aware of the move's limitations. Still, he mao squeeze out a smile.

  "I think it's just a matter of practice," he said optimistically. "With enough training, I should be able to improve the timing and trol. As for the recovery time... well, that's probably just because my legs aren't strong enough yet."

  "Fair enough," Kaminari agreed, nodding. "Let's adjust. I'll attack every ten seds, and I'll double the power of the 'mouth on' each time. You'd better brace yourself."

  Tetsutetsu gulped, but he nodded with determination. Kaminari, meanwhile, took another deep breath and unleashed his 200,000-volt attack.

  "BOOOOOOOOOH!"

  This time, he added a wist. While the "mouth on" surged forward, Kaminari sciously maniputed the current within his two-meter tre. The golden energy spun rapidly, f a high-speed rotating sphere as it traveled forward.

  This adjustment deyed the attack by a sed but signifitly increased its forward momentum. The trifugal forot only made the attack faster, but it also increased its destructive power.

  Sure enough, wheack reached its maximum rahe resulting golden dome wasn't just a static explosion. The surface of the dome shimmered with visible currents flowing across it, adding ara yer of iy.

  "Crack!!!"

  The explosion that followed was far strohan the previous ohe resulting airwave bsted Tetsutetsu backward and shaved off more than teimeters of the scorched earth, leaving the ground glowing red-hot.

  "An airwave effect, huh?" Kaminari noted with satisfa. He had borrowed the cept of trifugal force from fireball teiques in "Naruto," and the results spoke for themselves.

  While the airwave might not seem signifit, it could unban oppo during bat, a momentary loss of footing could mean the differeween victory a.

  This thought only strengthened Kaminari's belief that the fantastical worlds he oched in anime might actually exist. How else could teiques like "Shave" and "Raikiri" hold up under real-world physics?

  "Man... Kaminari, you're seriously a genius at developing moves!" Tetsutetsu excimed, staring i the destru left behind. The ground looked like molten va had passed through it.

  Uo hold back his curiosity, Tetsutetsu grinned. "So, have you e up with a name for it yet? If not, wao help? How about the 'Thunder on'?"

  Kaminari chuckled but shook his head. His gaze drifted upward, where the bright blue sky stretched endlessly above.

  "Let's call it... the Lightning Dragon's Roar"
