Makima POV:
After I had jumped down, I had landed behind the lady before speaking
"Well hello there" I had said, I looked at the expressions of the robbers, and even though their faces where covered with ski masks I was still able to see their expressions somehow, and I saw fear, a minuscule amount but it was enough to make a first time robber, who was already jumpy, to aim and fire at me
4 shots where fired and all of them missed, one of them hit me in my shoulder, I don't know why but there was no wound their not even an entry hole
I had looked at them with a slight smirk and said "Sorry dear, it'll take more than that to kill me" with a playful voice
"Kneel, dog" I had said, being filled with a feeling of power, and the muggers knelt on the floor, obviously extremely scared and confused
'That must be Control, so they must be inferior to me'
The woman I had saved had turned around and started to look at me with slight fear
"W-who are you?" She had asked, stuttering
"Hmm~?" I didn't know whether to use a hero name or My name, but I decided to use mine
"I guess you can call me by my name, Makima, that is my name" I had said confidently
"Th-Thank you Ms. Makima" she had stuttered blush starting to fill her face
'What the hell are you blushing for? I don't think I did anything to make her blush so what the hell?'
"Your welcome" I had said, slightly confused, so I did what any normal person would do when confused, smile and not speak more than nessesary
"now you, stay here" I had said using control again
"can you call the police, please?" I had told the lady, standing there with blush now filling her face making her look like a tomato
She had turned around to get her phone in her back pocket, an I used that chance to escape
'What a weirdo' I had thought to myself, but then another thought came to my mind
"Hey system can you tell me why I was acting like that?" I had said, because after further thought, I wouldn't have acted like that normally, so there must be a reason to why I was
[That was due to the skill {Manipulation}]
After that release of information I had a terrifying thought 'it must have been my manipulation skill…'
'Every breath, every thought, every miniscule action I did during that was due to the Manipulation skill, just so that she would fall in love with me, and I did that without even realising'
'But why? Well its obviously because people are easiest to control when they are in love'
[Understanding of the Character {Makima} has increased +14% Synchro]
'So that's how I increase Synchro, good to know'
I had been running for a few hours, stopping a few minor crimes and even stopping a car chase
I was walking around the roof tops, a little out of breath when I saw a bald man with a neatly trimmed beard robbing people, but what was strange was the fact that he was doing it alone, he also seemed to be a lot stronger than the average person
'Is that a mutant? Must be some no-name' I thought dropping down
I had landed on the mutants head and pushed him down to the floor face first still standing on his head when a man with odd looking hair came running around the corner
"Logan…" I had said unconsciously
