My Hero Academia: Thunder God

Chapter 141: Chapter 140: Golden Saint Cloth



"This… this is…"

Tetsutetsu stared wide-eyed at the transformation happening before him. The Robe had changed into something entirely new, leaving him at a complete loss for words.

"It's incredible," he whispered, awestruck.

Buntais' expression was one of pride and satisfaction. His eyes gleamed as he looked at Kaminari, who was still frozen in place.

"Not bad at all…"

Dr. Tenma, standing beside him, nodded repeatedly with a proud smile. While he had tested the transformation countless times before, seeing the armor come alive on its rightful owner made the experience incomparable.

Kaminari, the center of everyone's attention, was completely stunned. Slowly, he raised his hands to inspect the golden armor that now covered his arms, chest, and hands.

"Is this… a dream? Am I dreaming?!" he murmured, his voice tinged with disbelief.

For a moment, he felt like his life couldn't get any better. Not only could he use the electrifying moves he'd always admired from anime, but now he was wearing armor that looked straight out of a legendary saga.

No, this wasn't just some random piece of armor. It was like having a Golden Saint Cloth from his childhood fantasies brought to life.

The Suit had fully transformed into a stunning suit of golden armor. Every inch of it gleamed with brilliance, from the intricate patterns to its polished finish. The design was bold, sleek, and overwhelmingly cool.

"How does it feel?" Dr. Tenma asked with a slight smirk. "We followed your design concept to the letter. By the way, didn't you name it…"

"Cancer's Golden Cloth!" Kaminari interrupted, clenching his right fist and gazing at the golden gauntlet now covering it. A wave of excitement coursed through him, making it hard to stay calm.

"That's right. So, among the researchers, we nicknamed this transformation Sacred Cloth Mode," Dr. Tenma explained with a laugh.

"But… why Cancer?" Tetsutetsu asked, equal parts curious and envious.

"Because Kaminari-kun's birthday is June 29th," Buntais said, matter-of-factly.

Kaminari turned to him, his eyebrows raised in surprise. "Wait, you even know my birthday, old man?"

"Of course," Buntais replied with a casual smile. "If I didn't even know the birthday of the young man who saved my life, I'd be a pretty lousy person, wouldn't I?"

"Uh… well, I guess that makes sense," Kaminari admitted, scratching the back of his head. "But yeah, the Cancer theme was definitely inspired by my birthday!"

Of course, Kaminari knew there was more to it than just kindness, Buntais had clearly done his homework. But given the older man's good intentions, there was no point in overthinking it.

"Anyway, what are the functions of this Sacred Cloth Mode?" Kaminari asked, eager to know what his new armor could do.

"In addition to the basic features of Casual Mode, this mode includes first aid, advanced defense capabilities, and a suite of auxiliary tools designed to support you in combat," Dr. Tenma began.

Before he could continue, the AI—Pikachu—interjected, "Master, let me explain!"

Kaminari grinned. "Alright then, Pikachu, it's all yours. And from now on, let's stick with calling the two modes God Mode and Sacred Cloth Mode. It just sounds cooler that way."

"Yes, Master!" Pikachu chirped, clearly excited.

Kaminari's grin widened. "Start with the first aid function. That sounds like something that could really save my butt one day."

"Yes, Master!" Pikachu responded with its usual enthusiasm, mimicking the cheerful tone of its namesake.

"Master, the first aid system consists of three components: a hemostatic agent, a stimulant, and an analgesic. These are stored inside the combat suit and can be administered directly when needed. But keep in mind, the supply is limited to two uses before it needs to be refilled."

Kaminari processed the information and glanced over at Dr. Tenma. The doctor, already anticipating his question, answered promptly.

"You can come back here for refills anytime, but each dose will cost 300,000 yen. These are highly specialized, genetically tailored medications that aren't available commercially."

"Got it," Kaminari nodded. The price was steep, but manageable.

Before Kaminari could offer to pay, Mitsui interjected. "Let's make it simple. From now on, we'll provide you with three doses free of charge every year. You can choose which ones you want. Anything beyond that will follow the usual pricing."

"Uh… that's really generous of you, but—" Kaminari started, feeling a bit awkward.

"No need to argue. Consider it an early birthday gift from me," Buntais said with a firm but kind tone, leaving no room for debate.

"Thank you Mitsui-sama!" Kaminari bowed deeply in gratitude. Beside him, Tetsutetsu also bowed, his expression serious.

"Just call me old man, it sounds better!" Mitsui chuckled.

"Alright, old man!" Kaminari replied, smiling warmly.

As the group finished exchanging pleasantries, Dr. Tenma cleared his throat impatiently. "We can test the remaining functions during the actual combat trial. Let's get started."

Kaminari didn't hesitate. He stepped confidently into the arena, the transparent glass wall sliding shut behind him. The silence that followed made the room feel even larger, leaving only Kaminari and the three dark green combat robots in the space.

"Man, walking around in this feels… different," Kaminari thought to himself. The armor was lightweight yet sturdy, giving him a strange but reassuring sense of security.

"Pikachu, activate Scout Mode!" he commanded.

Immediately, a pale yellow light formed a translucent display screen in front of his eyes. As Kaminari turned to face the robots, streams of data began to appear on the screen, providing detailed stats on each opponent. Even the location of their core energy sources was clearly marked.

"Whoa, this is insane!" Kaminari marveled. "Pikachu, can this analyze humans too?"

"Yes, Master!" Pikachu responded. "If data is available, it will display immediately. If not, Scout Mode can perform a preliminary scan to gather basic information. During combat, it will analyze Quirk usage and weaknesses in real-time."

Kaminari felt a wave of excitement wash over him. This wasn't just a combat suit; it was practically a portable tactical system.

At that moment, Dr. Tenma's calm, authoritative voice cut through the speakers. "Prepare yourself. The robots are activating now."

Red lights lit up on each robot, signaling that the trial had begun.

"The battle starts now," Dr. Tenma announced coolly, his tone steady and composed.
