I had a goal to grow taller, but there was nothing I could do about it right away.

All I could do was go to bed early and drink lots of milk, as Amy had said.

I was able to look at Amy from a slightly new perspective.

From a kind person who always takes care of us, to a little, no, a very great person.

Her morning always starts early.

He wakes up earlier than us and starts doing paperwork.

The faint scent of coffee filling the room early in the morning was a signal that her morning had begun.

I sat on the bed and looked at Amy.

She was sitting at the table, working on a document with her chin resting on her hand.

Fingers moving quickly over a small laptop.

I got out of bed and looked at the screen of the laptop she was using.

“Are you awake?”

“Yes.”

Wake up a little earlier than usual.

Shine hasn’t woken up yet.

Amy came over to me, picked me up, and sat me down on the chair next to me.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m working.”

Letters filling up the laptop screen.

A series of small letters.

This screen looks somewhat familiar.

I glared at the large mug sitting next to Amy’s laptop.

Judging by the subtle steam rising, it was clear that there was still coffee in it.

I stuck out my tongue and licked my lips.

looks delicious.

“What did you tell me to do first when I woke up?”

“Oops.”

I, who had been slowly reaching out my hand, jumped down from the chair in a hurry at Amy’s words and ran to the bathroom.

After a simple face wash, rinse your mouth.

After wiping my face with a fluffy towel, I climbed into the chair next to Amy once again.

I looked down at Amy’s legs.

Looks like it’s properly touching the floor.

Compared to that, my legs were so short.

I swung those short legs back and forth.

But these short legs could not touch the floor.

After a while, the morning announcement reverberated throughout the building.

Shine wakes up at the same time.

She sat on the bed, rubbing her eyes and looking around.

“Did you sleep well, Shine?”

“Yeah.”

Shine nodded absentmindedly, got out of bed, and headed to the bathroom.

The moment Amy saw that Shine was awake, she closed her laptop.

The laptop screen disappeared in an instant.

The faint image of the screen that remains like an afterimage disperses from sight.

Rubbing my eyes, I followed Amy out of the room with Shine.

“Donkatsu this morning too?”

“Yes.”

After arriving at the restaurant, I nod when Amy asks for the menu.

The texture of the crispy batter and tender meat had an irresistible charm.

After finishing a quick meal, I returned to my room and changed my clothes.

Comfortable tracksuit.

The large cat character printed on the back of the tracksuit looked great with Shine.

After changing our clothes, we left the room and started walking down the hallway.

But it goes in a different direction than before.

Shine didn’t ask a question, but I opened my mouth to ask Amy.

“Aren’t you going to Victor’s today?”

“No. I’m going to go to Victor.”

“Then why are you going the other way? The gym is in the opposite direction.”

“It’s not available today.”

“Why?”

“Because other people have to use it.”

“Why?”

“People who went on long-term assignments have returned.”

“Long-term dispatch?”

“Yeah. Because other branches are short on power… .”

Amy trailed off with an awkward smile.

I read a tremendous amount of information from her words.

Are you saying that there are not one, but two, or more, buildings this huge?

“Anyway, that’s how it happened.”

I avoided Amy’s hand that was running its fingers through my hair and clung close to Shine.

Shine, who was holding my hand, looked up at Amy and said.

“Then you can’t play ball?”

“No~ You can play ball plenty where you are going now.”

I glanced down the opposite hallway.

The direction where the gym is.

Are you saying that people who do the same thing as Amy are back?

I became a little curious.

The place we arrived with Amy was a space slightly smaller than a gym.

There were no playing rings, and no machines to check the various figures.

A strong metallic smell.

A silver gym equipment flashed before my eyes.

“Where is this?”

“This is my personal space.”

It was Victor who answered my question.

It’s been there for a while, a little bit away from the entrance.

Victor, sitting at his small desk, waved at us.

“Victor’s space?”

“Does Victor live here?”

Shine and I asked at the same time.

The hard-looking fixtures make the room feel very bleak.

I looked at Victor with pitying eyes.

I’ve been staying here without even a soft bed.

“What are you thinking about… .”

Shine and I approached Victor with familiar movements.

The small chair in front of the desk was a chair tailored to me and Shine.

“Do what you have to do today, and play ball hard.”

“Yeah.”

I looked around.

How can you do that when you can’t see the machines that record your ability numbers?

“There are no machines?”

“I don’t need that today.”

As Victor said this, he took a small bead out of his pocket.

“Hold it in your hand and it’ll be done in about five minutes.”

“Really?”

I looked at Victor with doubtful eyes and held the marble in my hand.

The feel of cold beads.

I don’t feel anything special.

As I looked at Victor with a puzzled look, he said,

“Check the amount of electricity your body is unconsciously discharging.”

“Why?”

“Because I need it.”

“Why do you need it?”

Victor’s expression distorted strangely in response to my continued questions.

He opened his mouth with a small sigh.

“Amy. I guess the kids are curious about a lot of things these days?”

“Please answer me, don’t you think you weren’t like that when you were young?”

Victor rolled his eyes at Amy’s words, then slowly opened his mouth.

“Looking for a safe flow.”

“Is it a safe flow?”

“You said you were checking the amount of power you were unconsciously discharging, right? You were finding the safest flow among them.”

“Why is that necessary?”

“It would be quicker to show it.”

Victor said this and stood up from his seat.

He took a long iron bar out of his bosom and waved it in front of me.

“Look carefully.”

Dismissed-!

A familiar sound.

Light bouncing in the air.

A blue-colored current flowed around the iron rod.

Victor immediately threw the iron bar he was holding with all his might.

Snap-!

A sound of emptiness coming from the air.

A blue light shot out in a straight line with a tearing sound.

A blue tail that scatters like an afterimage.

puck!

I opened my mouth blankly.

The iron rod, which carried an electric current, was driven into a wooden plate.

Black soot marks around the bar.

The smoke rising above it gave off a faint smell of burning.

“You have to find a safe flow to do something like this.”

I could immediately understand what Victor was trying to explain.

I, too, could follow the iron bar throwing that Victor had shown me.

But if I were to use it, the power wrapped around the rod would definitely fly out in all directions as it flew.

I looked up at Victor with sparkling eyes.

He was a person of the same ability as me.

That’s also incredibly outstanding.

“Uh… How do I do this?”

“First, find the flow, and then make it possible to maintain that flow at all times. That’s the first step.”

“Wow… .”

Victor, who always had an annoyed expression on his face.

Victor, who seemed to just let everything go.

He was a great man.

really!

When I heard that five minutes had passed, I put down the marbles I was holding.

The beads, which had been cloudy in color, were now sparkling with a blue light.

“Look carefully because you can’t learn it anywhere else.”

Victor took the marble I had put down in his hand and raised his other hand.

Dismissed-!

A blue current burst from his hands.

The blue current that had been swaying and spreading out in all directions suddenly stopped moving.

No, that doesn’t mean it stopped moving.

It was just moving in the same direction as before.

It’s so fast that it just seems to stop.

“This is your flow.”

Victor said this and waved his hand to disperse the electricity.

I was blankly staring up at the afterimage of blue light fading away in the air, and then I raised my hand like Victor.

It remembers the direction of movement, the speed, everything.

I begin to reproduce the current he demonstrated.

A blue electric field spreads across the hand.

I start to control the guys who were running wild and spreading out in all directions.

“This time, Shine… .”

beep-

The moment Victor opened his mouth and took out a new bead.

I heard a strange ringing in my head.

“Is it because they’re twins? They look the same?”

A short break.

A strange sensation.

The feel of beads lingering on your fingertips.

“Oh my… .”

I wiggled my fingers.

It felt unnatural, as if a video that had been cut off had been reconnected.

“Anyway, let’s get into the flow from today.”

Shine and I nodded.

Victor sat down and began to organize his papers.

The unnatural sensation quickly disappears.

I touched my forehead and opened my mouth quietly to Shine.

“Victor must have been a really great person.”

“Victor?”

“Yeah. That’s really great.”

But Shine frowned as if she didn’t agree with what I said.

I rather couldn’t understand Shine’s attitude.

If you have the same kind of ability, you can see at a glance how great the application method Victor just showed you is.

“Amy is more awesome.”

Shine said that and turned her head.

I too turned my head to follow her gaze.

pop!

A huge explosion.

The moment Amy’s fist extended in a straight line, the target at the end of it shook violently.

A giant iron doll.

Fist marks remain here and there.

Amy’s fist flies over him again.

pop!

“Take it easy. I told you that if it breaks again, I won’t supply it.”

Victor looked at Amy and spoke.

Her behavior seemed familiar to Victor.

“That supply, is it something we provide at home?”

Amy glanced back as if to ask what the problem was and smiled slightly.

Immediately after that, she immediately extended her fist.

A faint light at her fingertips.

bang!

The giant iron puppet’s neck turned.

The severely distorted face of the iron doll fell to the floor, as if it had been struck by something heavy and huge.

The face of the fallen doll looked somehow similar to Jin’s face.
