10 Chapter 9: The Treatment

A/N: Guys, this note is to inform you how I handle conversations.

"...." is when they speak.

'....' are for thoughts.

<...> for special names like quirks.

* .... * for some action or onomatopoeia.

(...) para conversaciones e interacciones especiales.

If you have any idea for a quirk that you want to see in a character, you can write to me here.

********** ************ *************** ************** ************ *************

Akira had no more time to think, when he felt the straps tighten to his body, immobilizing him completely, after this they connected several cables around his body and through his head.

"Now, you may wonder what these cables are for, let me explain, these are called neurotransmitters, they are connected from your head to a machine that is responsible for sending the voltage determined by the user causing electric shocks to the person who is connected to They, we trust that with this method we can reconfigure your brain and make it go the right way, curing you from having to absorb blood, unfortunately for that you will have to suffer a little pain, but still I think a small sacrifice considering that If you heal it will be an incredible advance in the medical industry and finally my theory will be disseminated and practiced internationally, with this I will finally eradicate the roots of evil THE DIABOLICAL QUIRKS!

*Ahem* sorry I think I let me go, but you understand what is at stake here, so consider yourself lucky that you will be one of the pioneers in this treatment that will bring a future free of all evil" finished the exalted Dr. Tenichi still showing an obsessive expression that showed clear signs of madness.

After that a giant screen descended on the front wall "Well Akira your journey begins here, I hope that when we finish you will have been reborn as a being of good for society" With that Dr. Tenichi turned on the television, at the same time as for An enveloping music with a calm rhythm was heard throughout the room that made him feel slightly drowsy, confused, causing him to gradually enter a trance state.

Just before falling completely, Akira felt a shock throughout his being caused by his survival instincts, this was an alarm that woke him up from that dream state, and that in order not to fall again Akira forced his quirk to seal his senses from the ear temporarily going deaf.

Although he was still awake Akira decided to continue to maintain the facade of trance and watched the screen in front that began to play a video.

This was a video in which he could see a representation of him picking up a bag of blood that he then began to drink, at that moment a big red X came out showing that it was wrong, when he showed the X Akira felt the current go by neurotransmitters electrocuting him.

"Aaaarrrrggghhhhhhhhhh"

this made him scream due to the incredible pain he was feeling while at the same time suffering from muscle spasms all over his body, the only reason he did not fall to the floor and began to squirm in it was because of the straps that managed to keep him on his place.

*Hufff * * hufff * * hufff *

Akira was snorting from the pain caused by the crashes 'huff, please tell me what that's all'

As if he could hear what Akira was thinking, Dr. Tenichi smiled as he explained "it may seem painful to the point of wanting to die, but with time you will get used to it, although of course to continue with phase 2 of this we must increase the voltage when you start to adapt but don't worry with me here you won't die, you can be sure of that" he finished with an even bigger smile as if he was doing Akira a great favor.

Akira felt his hope to end this pain collapse and for a moment he almost fell into despair, but he managed to maintain his will due to a feeling that grew in his chest, this was invading and bubbling throughout his body reinforcing his will to survive.

This feeling was that of anger, a feeling strong enough capable of destroying anyone, but at this moment it saved him from breaking down and ending up like the other kids acting like nothing more than a programmed robot. He contained his anger to the fullest only by showing in faint flashes of red light from his eyes that would terrify even a murderer who has reaped hundreds of lives.

After a few moments, the following video was played, this was one where he again activated his quirk, only this time he was drinking blood directly from a person, already knowing would wait for him, he gritted his teeth and when he felt the electric shock go through his body, he resisted the urge from screaming while only suffering from muscle spasms as he clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles turned white and his nails dug into the palm of his hand, which was immediately healed by its regenerative ability.

After this, a video was played that Akira did not expect, it was one where he had the opportunity to take the blood bag, but he did not do it and he continued his day normally, this was then represented with a large green circle showing that that was the right decision and the next moment instead of feeling pain from the electrical shocks he felt a small vibration go through his body relaxing him and relieving the pain he had suffered but before he could continue enjoying this they stopped.

Later it was again transmitted another situation where he used his quirk which earned him another blow of electric shocks that caused pain for all the nerves of his body, mainly in his head, then again a video was played where he acted with 'normality' and denied his instinct to drink blood, thus receiving again from the shocks that caused him no pain but pleasure and relieved his exhausted body.

This continued in a continuous loop between situations where he did the wrong thing receiving the painful shock and then where he did the right thing receiving the calming shock which although it relaxed his body and gave him pleasure at the same time made him become more sensitive achieving that the next electric shock was even more painful.

After these continuous repetitions, Akira finally understood the goal of treatment was to condition his brain in a way that over time the brain adapts and instinctively understands that drinking blood is wrong and that if he does it he will receive punishment with this his brain would suppress this need so he would not feel pain as for the goal of giving him pleasant electric shocks it was as a form of reward that would be given to him for acting 'normal' and for his mind to understand that it would feel good to do so.

This continued in a repetitive cycle for several days. Akira lost count of the times he has gone through torture, pleasure, and torture again, except for the moments when he is injected with a nutrient solution, combined with blood to feed him and keep him conscious, he has spent the rest of the time in that state of torture, he has even been denied rest to sleep through energizers they have managed to keep him in a conscious state for all these days thus increasing his stress as well as his defenses mental are diminished and his will falters like a small boat in the middle of the stormy sea.

Due to this, there were several moments in which he wanted to go crazy so that he no longer had to go through this, other moments in which he was about to surrender and let himself be carried away by the torture and listen to them, almost losing his identity and will, but each time that he was about to give up, a feeling of anger would surface again along with a desire for revenge that kept him sane and avoided being brainwashed.

But this brought consequences, as the days passed Akira only continued to plunge further into his anger little by little being consumed by it, but just at the moment when he could have lost himself in it and become a soulless, cold indifferent machine whose sole objective is to achieve his revenge, he saw a small ray of light that illuminated his darkness, which brought light to his almost dark existence, these were the memories of how he had been reborn, how he had promised himself and the ROB that he would be happy, that he would free himself from all pressures and worries, he also remembered a little girl, who looked delicate, fragile and defenseless and then he thought about how she must have had to suffer from this torture just like him, Considering that she was here first than him, in addition to the state she was in the first time he met her, he finally understood why she was acting vigilant, scared and cautious around him, after all that torture that living is a miracle that it was not broken by the time he met her.

'Just as she managed to survive so I will do it, I can't leave her alone, I WILL SAVE HER!' Finally, another feeling apart from anger was born within him, it was the desire to protect, care for and save her from this torture that they have had to go through, with his will and new goal set he determined to endure this torture and then escape next to Toga even if he has to kill all the people in this building.

For that Akira acted as if his will had been broken repeating aloud, in a loop "drink blood is wrong, drink blood is wrong, drink blood is wrong ..."

Even with this, his torture continued for another day until finally, Dr. Tenichi arrived again.

"Hi Akira, how are you feeling after these days of treatment" the only answer he received was.

"Drink blood is wrong, drink ..."

"It seems that it was a success, for now, you can return to your room and go back to classes then we will see how your condition continues" with this, 2 guards entered that untied him from the chair and carried him to his room, once inside he lying on the bed.

'Ufffff, I had to control myself 100% not to jump in that instant and cut the throat of the crazy bastard Tenichi, hahh, but for now, I must restrain myself, even if I killed him it would not mean that I would be free, I would only be condemned as a murderer and go to prison or another institution similar to this one'

'For now, I'm going to rest this will be my first dream in days, I just hope I don't have nightmares, tomorrow I'll meet Toga and start planning a way to escape from here' yawning he grabbed the sheet and covered himself, seconds later he slept soundly due to accumulated fatigue from having been awake for several days while being physically and mentally tortured.
