Chapter 6. Rewards from the misfortune
In the hospital bed Rei laid bandaged. His eyelids fluttered as he awoke.
"Urg...Eve you there?" He asked in pain. Even when he asks in his mind, just opening his eyes sent torment to the rest of his body.
[Yes i'm here Rei...Th-Thank you for staying awake the whole time even when it hurts....If you didn't...I would have never seen you ever again.] She said, voice tinged in worry. Rei was surprised, Eve had never called his name directly before. Her voice heavy with worry and concern. If he didn't know better he would have though of a young girl eyes tinted red after just having cried for a loved one.
[.....Rei....Stop ruining my image.]
"Come on Eve~ Let me have this." He said with the biggest imaginary smile he could muster in his mind.
[*snicker* Fine you idiot host.] You could even hear the playfulness in Eve's voice.
"Hahaha, but truly, thanks Eve if it wasn't for your voice encouraging me I don't think I could hang on."
[(O_O)....YOU COULD HEAR ME!!!!! ACTIVATE CALM STATUS LEVEL DIVINE ON SYSTEM DESIGNATION EVE!!!!
Activating.....Unsuccessful.
Noooo!]
Rei imagined with great humour a girl rolling around, hands covering her face after thinking back to her chuuni (eight grade syndrome) moments. Face red and screaming in embarrassment.
[IDIOT HOST STOP THINKING!!]
"Hahaha fine i'll stop, but Eve could you tell me what happened to me?"
After briefing Rei on what had happened, his awakening of his powers, All Might and Gran Torino, The ice dragon, demon and Emiya Shirou.
"Ok Eve I have two questions the first one being, was anyone killed or hurt too badly? The sister and the children from the orphanage were close to me!"
[Don't worry host, when your powers awakened it pushed everyone away in a 20meter radius and All Might and Gram Torino saved them after. As for the civilians they at most suffered from what I could see small wounds from debris]
"Errr Eve, c-can you call me by my name like before?"
[...Fine R-R-Rei.....So Rei what was your second question.]
"Well it's basically, how the hell do I have aPURGATORY DEMON, A DRAGON AND FUCKING EMIYA SHIROU SHOW UP???"
[Gosh Rei stop shouting. Well I can tell you about the demon and Emiya Shirou. When you had received your skills you had with them, gained the skill's mentor spirits. The stronger your soul Rei, the faster they could manifest and teach you how to use the skills. The spirits mentality are made to be programmed to what is determined as best suited to teach the skill. Such as Emiya Shirou or Archer to be exact. The the fate series even when he saw his past self he didn't even want to teach him anything. But with your skill spirit the main system has pulled his experience from his future self and his willingness to help from his past self. Creating what it deemed to be best to teach you the skill of course you still need to gain his basic recognition for him to teach you. And as for your ice dragon, since your soul was unconsciously nurturing the other skill spirits with the help of the main system. The main system had deemed the quirk the same type of skill so it had done it to your quirk too which when it was brought to life in the awakening, it had gained a soul and had seen you like the alpha/leader. Feeling thretened by a skill of the same caliber the demon wanted to purge him so that there is one less competitor for your body. Emiya Shirou watched as a spectator until he couldn't let it continue or else you would have died. Thus helping you with the chant of Unlimited Blade Works and summoning the Seal of Solomon. He did this using his own essence to power the skill and he's resting to recover right now.]
*Sigh~~~
"I see so Eve where do we go now? We can't go back to sister as the children are probably traumatised by me. And I had wanted to be their inspiration and look cool. Laughable."
[Don't be like that Rei. I'll tell you now that if you blacked out. The fire demon would have caused much more destruction killing thousands and the ice dragon would lose all reasoning and help cause more destruction. So think of it as you has saved everyone from death.]
"Thanks Eve." Rei said with a smile filled with gratitude.
[No problem. Oh Rei the quest system had issued and emergency quest during the breakout which you had completed do you want to see the details?]
"Yes please."

"Holy crap! Eve how did my body and will increase so much?!?"
[...I wonder if your an idiot sometimes Rei. Your body increased since your survived the tempering the 3 powers did. And your will power increase because you pulled through till the end.]
"Well damn. So Eve is there a way for me to recover faster? The faster the better, i'll need to find a safe place to go."
[No, not that I can recommend. The damage that was done to your body needs to be healed naturally without speeding up or it could leave hidden injuries. You also need your body to adapt to healing your wounds like this, especially after a increase in body grade. And don't worry Emiya Shirou threatened All Might and Gran Torino with death if they didn't look after you.]
*Sweat drop
"Wait! Did the doctors use any healing quirks on me?"
[I made it so that there where a small energy that ran through your body which rejected anything to do with healing with exception to natural healing and item from the shop, which I don't recommend.]
"That's good th--
"REI SHOUNEN IT SEEM LIKE YOU'RE AWAK-- PUWAH!!"
Cutting him off was All Might shouting at the top of his lungs only to be punched by Gran Torino in the side of his gut that wasn't injured. Folding over on the ground All Might shook in pain.
"Stupid Toshinori, can't you be more considerate and not shout!! HMPH!!" Gran Tornio said with veins bulging on his forehead.
"Is he going to be ok?" Rei asked in concern watching the duo.
"Ahh Rei-chan don't worry I've punched him worse than this it's fine."
THAT'S NOT THE POINT Rei shouted in his mind while his face is blank.
"Ok ignoring Toshinori there, Rei-chan what are you going to do now?" Gran Torino asked while All Might slowly attempted to stand up.
"I don't know, I can't go back. I've injured sister and the children are probably too sacred of me. Sister probably won't want me back, after all i'm like a time bomb you don't know when I could lose control." Rei said with self mockery.
"Ah Rei shounen don't worry the nun was the most worried for your safety rather than fear. But unfortunately you're right you can't go back. However, the council have decided to put you under the care of Me or Gran Torino since we - held you back - during the incident. Well we were more like spectators rather than holding you back. What do you say Rei shounen would you like to come with us while we see if we can help you train and control your quirk?"
Thinking carefully Rei decided that he will join them since they have already seen his power.
"Then i'll be in your care All Might san and Gran Torino san."
