Chapter 5 - Bloody Awesome Phone

He did it.

He actually did it.

At first, it was just some casual tinkering, nothing fancy. But now?

Now the bastard was standing in the middle of the room, eyes wide open, pupils dilated like he'd just drunk five liters of Red Bull and snorted cosmic cocaine. His lips stretched, twitched once—

and then… it happened.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

The kind of laugh that'd make even a full-blooded Uchiha tilt his head and say "Yo, you good, bro?"

He clutched the phone like it was the Philosopher's Stone itself. This wasn't just a tech upgrade. This was evolution.

A leap in real time. No blueprint, no notes—just his mind, his quirk, and whatever leftover tech garbage he had lying around. He turned the phone over, held it up to his face like it was a sacred relic, and grinned.

"I MADE THIS IN MINUTES! LITERALLY MINUTES! WHO EVEN AM I RIGHT NOW!?"

His laugh bounced off the walls like demonic reverb, echoing through the small 12x12 room. The bed creaked behind him, probably disturbed by all the chaos. Bhai was still sleeping. How? He didn't know. Must be a god-tier nap.

The room itself was nothing special—at least from the outside.

A 12 by 12 box. Basic white walls, one of them slightly cracked from years of monsoon seasons.

A big double bed was shoved toward the center-right, like some grand artifact taking up most of the space. Almirah to the left of the bed—overstuffed with folded clothes, towels, and some random bedsheets no one had touched in months.

On the left side, near the foot of the bed, was that old CRT TV, sitting dead on a small wooden desk—the kind that always squeaks if you breathe too hard near it. And just under that desk was the now-famous cell. A small open shelf that had become his mini-lab. Stuffed inside were:

Broken phones

Dusty remote controls

A few tangled chargers

Pendrives

A small red tool kit

Some unlabelled boxes

A pair of torn slippers shoved in the bottom compartment

Just to the right was the main door to the outside world.

But now? This basic-ass room wasn't a room anymore. It was a scanner zone.

A holographic projection filled the space as his phone beeped once, then launched its new feature.

"INITIATING 3D ROOM SCAN..."

From the camera lens, a fine blue light shot out, zig-zagging like a web, bouncing off every surface—walls, floor, furniture, objects, even him.

In just five seconds, a translucent 3D blueprint of the entire room floated above the phone's surface.

It showed every corner, every object, even the slight bend in the bed leg.

He could literally drag and rotate the room in mid-air like a sandbox game.

He looked at it and smirked.

"Damn... my phone's smarter than half the people I know."

But that wasn't enough.

No.

He had a thought. A devilish thought.

If his phone could scan walls and objects, could it scan humans too?

He pointed it toward his brother—sleeping like a rock. The scanner beam shifted color, now a soft violet.

It beeped.

"BIOLOGICAL ENTITY DETECTED. Scanning internal structure..."

A second later, a digital human model appeared—full body, rotating slowly, bones visible like an X-ray.

It even showed heartbeat, temperature, organ health.

His grin returned.

"Ohohoho... wait... what if I just... tweak it a little... maybe add a layer to read their abilities too?"

He activated the minescape lab in his brain and started tweaking the phone's scan interface.

Added some subroutines. Defined new parameters.

Energy Signature Analysis

Quirk Probability Mapping

Power Node Identification

And now, the phone could do more than just scan bones—it could show quirks.

Abilities. Mutation zones. Biological enhancements.

He looked at both his brother and sister, scanned them back to back.

Then took a deep breath.

"Okay... Now that I've upgraded my phone to be a damn supercomputer-slash-doctor-slash-quirk-scanner..."

He sat down on the bed again and opened the browser.

"Let's talk real business now. Who are the TOP 10 HEROES of India?"

He typed it in.

"Top 10 Indian Pro Heroes – 2086 Hero Ranking Update"

The page loaded.

There they were. The big names.

---

1. Aagni

2. Ansha

3. Mantra

4. Rowdy

5. Veeraksha

He raised an eyebrow.

"Damn. These names sound like final bosses in an anime or something."

He didn't click on them yet. He wanted to study. One by one. Later. Strategically.

For now?

He leaned back, hologram still floating in the air, room glowing in blue light, his heartbeat synced with the phone's hum.

He had built a super device.

He had scanned humans.

He had just found the top heroes of the country.

And he had time.

Because knowledge was power, and he was done waiting.
