Hearing the explanation, Maximilian smiled.
"Since you've chosen to trust , of course I'll teach you all. But first..." He stood and approached the injured n.
Examining the cast on one man's leg, he placed his hand on it.
{System, share the regeneration effect.}
[Understood.] The System deducted 25 Villain Points.
Villain Points: -25
The man imdiately felt improvent. With each passing second, his leg felt light and the pain subsided, since doctors had said it would take 4-5 weeks to heal. Could this be our new boss's EF ability?
"Try moving your leg," Maximilian instructed.
The man complied, astonished to find no pain whatsoever.
"It... doesn't hurt at all! Thank you, Boss!"
Maximilian simply nodded and repeated the process for the three others whose bones he'd fractured. All experienced the sa miraculous recovery, as if their two days of agony had never happened.
"Tomorrow, get a diagnosis from the doctors and have your casts removed. We'll begin training once you're all ready," Maximilian declared then walk to the exist.
"Er... boss, where are you going?" Ricardo asked.
"Back to sleep. It's late," Maximilian replied.
Ricardo nodded and let Maximilian leave before checking on his newly healed brothers.
"It really doesn't hurt anymore?" Ricardo questioned.
"No pain at all! It's like a miracle," the healed brother answered, tapping his now-useless cast. "Do you think boss has an EF that can heal others?"
"Maybe... I'm not sure," Ricardo answered uncertainly.
Another brother chid in. "I think boss has an EF with multiple effects. From what I heard. There's a hero who can control his tabolism to gain super strength and speed simultaneously. Since Boss broke my bones, and my bones aren't that fragile. I'm sure strength enhancent is one of boss powers."
"Or maybe your bones are so f*cked up they look like honeycomb right now," another brother teased.
"F*ck you!" the first retorted as the others laughed.
Amid the laughter, Ricardo remained thoughtful. As their leader, he knew more about EF classifications than his brothers. While multi-ability EFs weren't uncommon, cross-type abilities were extrely rare.
The tabolism Manipulation his brother ntioned was a 'Self-Enhancent' type EF - powers that only affect the user, like super speed or strength. The opposite were 'Projection' types that emit energy outward, like Mr. Blaster, the villain Dragon Fist captured or Photon Fury.
Generally, these types couldn't overlap. A 'Self-Enhancent' EF like tabolism Manipulation shouldn't be able to transfer healing to others. That's why Ricardo doubted his brothers' theory about their boss possessing both types.
But ultimately, the exact nature of their boss's EF didn't matter. What mattered was his undeniable power, and having such a strong ally gave them unprecedented security. This was exactly the backing they'd been hoping for.

Maximilian walked out of the apartnt block where Ricardo's group was staying. He made his way toward the junkyard where Blood Mongoose had hidden his cache.
[Are you going to collect Blood Mongoose's cache? (˙︶˙✿)]
{Yeah, why? You seem excited. Are you hoping to find so energy there?} Maximilian asked. In his mind, the only thing that could excite his system was energy.
[If we find energy, that would be great, but no... I don't think we'll find anything strong enough to feed in that cache.] The system denied his assumption.
{Then what do you hope we'll find?} Maximilian asked.
[It's not about what I hope we'll find. It's about the exploration! The mystery! (๑>ᴗ
