He hadn't heard from her for a month. He tried to call her but she didn't pick up.

He didn't understand what was going on and for now he decided to concentrate on his channel. He had already received a rating of 4.8/5 and hoped to raise it. Of course, he was bothered by the damn heroes who thought they were the center of the world and there were even rich people who tried to buy his channel. But he refused and continued filming his shows... Although it became interesting to notice one pattern. Unexpectedly for him, he began to control his powers better and the return decreased. This became noticeable when he compared his rating and when the changes began. He was considered quirkless until he decided to film his first mini-show! Then he got angry because the animals did not listen to him and interfered with him... And when he pointed at them, he released a beam of energy and they became obedient puppets. When he finished filming, he noticed that his head was splitting.

Then he realized that he could control those who were part of the scene. And he began to fight and create to become the best on TV! But unfortunately he failed and got stuck here. And now he finally started to rise and learned more about his power.

Meanwhile, the robots continued working and preparing the programs. He decided to conduct an experiment and decided to use his powers to make them smarter... and he does not understand. Either they became smarter or they did not change at all. But now when the actors get out of character, they flash their screens blue and red. They also began to do something without his command and at the same time it improved his ratings.

He was in his office, filling out a stack of paperwork, a process he hated. It took up almost all of his energy and he often did nothing afterward. But it was necessary, because these were documents related to advertising, invoices, requests for advertising...

*Knock knock knock.*

He wasn't expecting anyone today. He decided to put the papers aside for now and go and see who was there. As he walked to the door, he looked at the old square TV he kept on the shelf. It was a family heirloom, it had survived to this day and still worked. Nowadays, everyone uses flat-screen TVs and it's hard to find one, but he's glad he kept it. He remembers watching old movies on cassettes that had survived, and it sparked a love for television in him! So he made sure it was always in perfect condition.

When he opened the door he saw two well-dressed people. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Yes, you can." The woman adjusted her glasses. "Immediately vacate the premises and give us all the documents for this place and the TV channel."

"... Excuse me?" He was stunned by such impudence. "And what right do you have to demand this?" Even though they were impudent, it didn't mean he should be rude to them.

"Yaorozu Corporation wants to get this channel for their needs." The man said. "You as an independent channel have attracted their interest and they are giving you this good chance."

"What other chance? You're just trying to rob me."

"A chance not to lose everything in court."

"..." He looked at them in complete shock. "I'm sorry what?"

"If you don't vacate the building and hand over the documents by the evening, we'll sue you for everything." The man said with a grin. As he saw it, he had a mutation that made him look like a gorilla or was it a feature of his family? "So I advise you to accept this offer."
