“I think I wanna try…” You picked up one of the ‘Single Part’ mangas and quickly looked through it until you found the term you were looking for. “A Demon Berry.”
“Oh, a great choice,” Utano replied excitedly. “Not to mention by going the innate superpower route you’re keeping this group balanced in terms of fighting styles.”
“And what about my hair?” Sayaka asked in an only mildly annoyed tone.
“How often do I have to repeat that? Your hair fits more under unusual weapon user,” Utano answered. “Similarly I’m a weapon master due to my variety and Pan has her companion fight for her, hence puppet fighter.”
“And I’m the martial artist!” Juno added.
“Yes, you are.” Utano affectionately pet her head. “Anyways, to come back to my original point after this filler moment, almost like in the manga eating one of our Demon Berries will give you a unique superpower.”
“What do you mean ‘almost’?” you asked.
“Nothing bad for you, quite the opposite actually. We had to remove the whole ‘being unable to swim’-thing after several girls tried to get into the club solely to skip swim class. Also, you won't die if you eat a second one, instead the second fruit’s abilities will completely overwrite the first one’s. It also causes horrible diarrhea. I see it as nature's form of balancing the powers, so be very certain if you want to switch out powers.”
Pan approached you while holding a big treasure chest. You didn't even notice her breaking away from the group to fetch it. Opening the chest revealed it was filled to the brim with berries in various shapes and colors.
“As you probably already know, but I’ll explain anyway, because I like giving exposition, there are three general types of berries. The first type just gives you superhuman abilities, from simple ones like turning your body into stretchy rubber, manipulating your body weight, magnetism, to the weirder more obscure ones like being able to take apart and rearrange other people and objects without harm, growing body parts on every surface or even turning into a bodysuit that can control anyone that wears you, really crazy stuff. The other two types are more straightforward. The second one allows you to turn at will into a specific animal or an usually anthropomorphic, well more anthro than we already are, mix form with this animal. This includes all types of mythological creatures. And the third one, of course, allows you to fully turn your body into a specific element. Though element is a very generous term in this context. Each berry is entirely unique, so two people can’t have the same power. But if you eat another one or permanently lose your powers in a different way, the fruit will respawn in this chest. I also have to reiterate that all powers have been rebalanced for more fairness. Can't have someone turn the whole student body into a sex doll army again.”
Having been refamiliarized with the workings of the berries, it was now time to choose. After some long thinking you came to the realization that like their source material the appearances of these berries usually didn't say much about the abilities they grant. So you eventually just picked out a random berry out of the chest and popped it into your mouth. The moment you swallowed it you felt some tingling across your body, but no changes were immediately recognizable.
“Interesting choice, if I’m allowed to give some commentary,” Utano spoke up.
“You know what kind of berry that was?”
“Of course, otherwise I’d be a bad club president. Wait, don't tell me you just randomly choose one. Huh, putting your life in the hands of the plot, I like that.” Seeing your worried face, Utano turned it down a bit. “You don't have to worry. The berry you chose isn't dangerous to you. It was the…”
