Dr Blessed - In MHA With Lord Of Mysteries System

Rewind: Cogitation is focusing on an image/object, taking control of your spirituality

******************

Luke stumbled out of the Mini Zoo, holding his head.

It felt like someone, something, was holding him back… and for good reason. Despite that, there was a distinct annoyance within him.

An annoyance that terrified Luke beyond measure.

He felt — angry.

"Oi! What's wrong with you?!" Nyx asked, his red pupils gaining a redder tinge as she used Spirit Vision. "Your spirit particles are acting like drunk men, not knowing where to put it!"

What's happening, Miss Justice? Luke asked, barely hearing what Nyx was saying. This is…

…

[Yes. You are losing control. Wait… Let me placate you.]

…

An extremely slow, but soothing sensation pervaded Luke's mind suddenly.

It was much, much less potent than Cogitation, but it was better targeted, calming his nerves.

By the time it ended, the anger brought about by the annoyance had all but abated, leaving behind a feeling of being held back.

Suddenly, as Luke looked within, the Potion let him know about a Trickmaster's abilities, and he found why he was feeling so odd.

Luke wasn't just a Trickmaster.

He was only a Trickmaster.

…

[

That's the only way we can prevent you from mutating, Luke.

As of this moment, you are only a Trickmaster, not a Clown or Marauder, i.e., you have the mystical abilities from one Pathway only.

]

…

Luke looked at himself, gobsmacked.

He had known that Mr. Fool had upgraded the System after his last visit to the Gray Castle.

Moreover, Miss Justice herself had told him that things would be changing as he progressed to counter the adverse effects of drinking Potions from different Pathways.

But to his powers altogether… No. Wait.

Luke suddenly found an incredible discrepancy in Miss Justice's words.

He clenched and unclenched his fingers, jumped on his toes, and threw a few punches.

It was still there, Luke realized. The enhanced stamina granted by Marauder Potion and the inhumane dexterity and sense of balance by Clown Potion were still accessible.

…

[

The powers granted by a Potion can be divided into two categories.

One is Permanent — both physically and spiritually — with no need of further Spirit or Stamina Points consumption. Like Enhanced Strength, Stamina, Dexterity, etc.

Second is Trigger — which would actively consume your Stamina and Spirit Points. Like Divination, Danger Intuition, Door Opening, etc.

Even as you are now, you can still access all the Permanent Powers brought about by the Sequence Potions.

However, to prevent yourself from instantly breaking down into a monster, you must limit yourself from accessing the Trigger Powers with a Cooldown.

]

…

Cooldown? Luke frowned.

The moment he thought of the word, he felt like he could jump from being a Trickmaster to a Marauder.

Following this feeling, Luke nudged his spirit particles.

Seeing from the side, and still using Spirit Vision, Nyx gasped. "Whoa! Now they feel like they are in heat…"

As the spirit particles within Luke rearranged themselves, a distinct tink rang in Luke's mind.

It was like the strike of the clock's long, metallic hand, completing an hour.

Instantly, Luke saw a Cooldown Timer in front of his eyes.

…

[Cooldown Timer: 00:00:02]

…

For two seconds, the long hand of the clock remained in the same place.

Using his spirituality, Luke willed his spirit particles to rearrange, but utterly failed.

But the moment those two seconds were over, the clock began moving again, and, following Luke's urge, the spirit particles moved.

Now, he was a Clown.

The Cooldown Timer reappeared in front of Luke's eyes.

Then, after two seconds, he jumped from being a Clown to Trickmaster.

Luke hurriedly told Nyx what he was doing, stopping her from continuing to use Spirit Vision like an idiot.

[How is it?]

"Not bad," Luke admitted. "I can get used to it, I guess. Two seconds aren't much…"

…

[

Good… Phew!

Even if you feel a touch odd, it's for your own well-being, Luke.

The Cooldown Timer will remain the same at a particular Sequence, but, as you must have guessed, it will also increase with every next Sequence.

So, you will need to be more strategic about confrontations.

Just like how you goaded that man into breaking your arms to show off Regeneration.

]

…

Luke nodded, remembering Knuckleduster.

He had known that he couldn't beat Knuckleduster in a one-on-one fight, despite his enhanced physique. Also, using Bioalchemy to defeat him would have defeated the purpose.

So, to catch Knuckleduster's eyes, he first blatantly showed him Danger Intuition, combining it with high agility, and then used Bioalchemy to hammer the nail.

"So, can I become a Clown now?" Nyx asked. "I have already thought of the Acting Method…"

Luke's lips twitched. "You haven't even digested Seer Potion, yet. And I need to be at Sequence 7 for you to gain a Sequence 8 potion."

Nyx knew all that, of course, but she was just frustrated by constantly losing her powers.

In the last few weeks, she had already prayed to Mr. Fool three times to get back her powers.

Her head banging in her tiny skull because of constant use of Spirit Vision, Nyx cawed, "Entertain me. You are good for nothing else, anyway. Show me some cool tricks…"

Ignoring the jab, Luke first brought out his Stats.

…

[

Blessed Stats:

Quirk — Bioalchemy

Stats:

— Spirit: 370

— Stamina: 175

]

…

Around 16 Points of increment in Spirit Points… Luke noticed. Let's see what a Trickmaster can do, then.

Luke waved his hand and, gradually, a fog covered him and Nyx within a 7-8 meter range. It was the Fog ability.

Then, using the Gas Transfer ability, Luke played around with the fog, sending it from one place to another.

"Hmm… this can be…" Nyx was saying something when, suddenly, a Black Curtain materialized in front of Luke out of nowhere, leaving her mouth open.

When the curtain disappeared, Luke had vanished as well.

With the surrounding fog, she couldn't see where he was anymore. "Luke?"

"Here…"

Nyx snapped her head right, but then a bright Flash blinded her eyes.

"No… I am here…"

Blinking several times, Nyx was about to look to her left when a Loud Noise behind her made her jump.

The moment her claws touched the ground, though, she Tumbled as if the rocks were coated with grease.

As if that wasn't enough, a ray of blueness hit her, Freezing her feathers.

Luke reappeared in her vision, laughing. "We are getting better and better at running away…"
