Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: Magneto?

"Electromagnetism???"

Hyuga Satoru stood frozen for a long while, taking a while to process what had just happened.

I awakened electromagnetism? The same electromagnetism that's one of the four fundamental forces?

At the same time, Satoru noticed some changes in his body. A feeling of indescribable comfort surged up from every cell, filling him with energy and vitality.

He suddenly thought of something—every moment, the human body's oxidation-reduction life activities constantly produce weak bioelectric currents. Every cell is like a tiny biological battery. Simply put, every person has their own unique magnetic field—a biological magnetic field.

Could this newfound feeling of vitality be because my electromagnetism has amplified my biological magnetic field, and it's now feeding back into my body?

Satoru recalled that in his previous life, many con artists claimed their insoles and undergarments contained "Tianshan magnets," which could enhance the body's biological magnetism and had miraculous effects like extending lifespan and curing cancer.

That was clearly a scam, but now his situation seemed different. It felt like his biological magnetic field really had been enhanced. Could it be that he could truly manipulate electromagnetism?

Satoru swallowed and extended his hand toward the kitchen knife on the counter. With just a thought, the knife wobbled and slowly floated toward him, albeit with a shaky trajectory, like someone driving under the influence. But Satoru's heart was racing with joy!

Electromagnetism! It's truly electromagnetism!

After all, this is one of the four fundamental forces!

Magneto is so powerful, always carrying the Golden Gate Bridge with him, but even he only developed electromagnetism to a basic level, at best he could be called "Iron King."

Using electromagnetic fields to accelerate a magnetic object gives it incredibly high initial velocity—this is the principle behind the railgun. Have you heard of Accelerator? The person who can shoot a coin through a warship.

Electromagnetism can bend photons to create large-scale holographic projections—forget illusions, those are weak!

Electromagnetism can interfere with brain signals, directly manipulating someone's sight, hearing, touch, even thoughts—now that's true puppet control!

If the electromagnetism is strong enough, one can even pull planets by hand. Forget about Mars hitting Earth—those things are weak! Madara would call that a piece of cake.

That's the macro level, but on the micro level, you could use electromagnetism to manipulate atomic nuclei, break free the electrons from their nuclei, causing the atoms to collide and undergo fusion reactions—basically, manually crafting nuclear bombs!

In quantum field theory, generating matter-antimatter pairs and reversing electromagnetic forces to obtain antimatter would trigger annihilation reactions, essentially erasing an existence at the most fundamental level!

And if we go even further, are you even... you?

No!

You're just an aggregate of tiny atoms, and everything you do is a result of the movement of those atoms. Your past, present, and future are all determined by this.

With electromagnetism, you can manipulate the movement of atoms, control every change, and with it, you control the universe. You become the god, and the god is you.

In simple terms, if you master electromagnetism to a sufficient degree, there's almost nothing you can't do!

Satoru took a deep breath, suppressing the shock and excitement rising in him.

Fortunately, before crossing over, he was a science student, otherwise, he would have no idea how to use such a treasure.

Life really is unpredictable—one moment, he's worrying about surviving until the end, and the next, he has an insanely powerful ability that feels like a cheat code.

After calming himself, Satoru began testing his control over electromagnetism.

The kitchen was filled with metal objects, offering plenty of materials for experimentation.

After a few tests, he began to understand his abilities. With his current LV1 electromagnetism power, he could only control easily magnetized metals. He could manipulate magnetic fields to a basic level, including but not limited to magnetization and acceleration.

In simple terms, his current abilities were like an enhanced version of Magnetic Release.

Additionally, using electromagnetism would increase his experience points. From his earlier tests, he gained 2 points, but he still had a long way to go to reach LV2, which required 2000 points.

Satoru clicked his tongue but wasn't disappointed. Most ninja tools were made of easily magnetized metals. With his current abilities, he could probably catch some unsuspecting Genin off guard.

Can you imagine? Enjoying hotpot and singing songs, and suddenly, someone's head disappears!

This wasn't the ordinary Magnetic Release—ordinary Magnetic Release could only manipulate specific metals like the sand-iron of the Third Kazekage or the sand-gold of the Fourth. As Satoru's control over electromagnetism increased, he would be able to magnetize anything. High-level techniques would become accessible to him.

After finishing his experiments, Satoru felt a little drained. The small amount of chakra in his body had been depleted.

The Hyuga clan was a prestigious clan in Konoha, and chakra refinement techniques were widespread. His father had even left behind notes on chakra refinement. So, before attending school, Satoru had already practiced chakra refinement.

The energy cost of using electromagnetism could be mental, but more often than not, it required chakra, as chakra is the combination of both spiritual and physical energy.

Satoru gave a soft sound of surprise. The chakra he had just depleted was quickly recovering, and it was recovering even faster than before.

He quickly realized that with his biological magnetic field boosted by electromagnetism, it was thriving. And since chakra refinement requires both mental and physical energy, which is closely tied to the biological magnetic field, it made sense that his chakra would naturally increase as well.

Satoru then focused on maximizing his ability development. He still had a long way to go before reaching LV2 electromagnetism, so there was no hope of an upgrade in the short term. His goal was to combine his current hardware conditions to maximize his electromagnetic abilities.

What about Byakugan, the Hyuga clan's bloodline limit? Could it be combined with electromagnetism?

At higher levels of electromagnetism, Byakugan would naturally become obsolete. But with his current electromagnetism, Byakugan seemed to have many useful applications.

His vision range was about one kilometer, and it would increase with training. This meant that within a kilometer radius, all enemies would be fair game for his electromagnetic cannon. Talk about a map-wide artillery strike!

Also, it seemed like Gentle Fist could be combined with electromagnetism. Gentle Fist usually targeted the chakra pathways, blocking the flow of chakra in the opponent's body. But with the acceleration and charging of electromagnetism, a single strike could easily take someone down.

And then there was the Bagua Palm. While others used air cannons, he would be using electromagnetic cannons.

Hmm... this could be interesting.

Satoru stroked his chin, his smile growing deeper.

Growl...

Just then, his stomach loudly grumbled. Satoru looked out the window, and only then did he realize that it was already completely dark outside.

The time spent awakening and experimenting with electromagnetism had flown by, and his stomach had finally caught up with him.

"Perfect, I'll just treat cooking as part of my training!"

Satoru chuckled, rolled up his sleeves, and turned on the faucet to wash the vegetables. The kitchen knife on the counter trembled and, shakily at first, flew up into the air, cutting the vegetables he had washed.

Outside, the night had fallen deeply, and in the silence, the reflection of his thin figure and the flying knife could be seen on the kitchen window.
