A week has passed since I started developing my abilities, but there has been no noticeable results.

As I looked at the pictures and words that filled up the notebook, I felt more like I was looking at a child’s scribbles rather than a notebook for skill development.

Rain always speaks to me with eyes full of anticipation.

“Jeff! Do you think you can show me something today?”

I wanted to say yes, but my answer was always the same.

“Sorry. I don’t think I can show you today.”

Since developing abilities is not something that can be done overnight, it seemed impossible to meet Rain’s expectations right away.

I let out a small sigh of frustration and closed the notebook.

The notebook was covered with Shine stickers that Shine had pasted on it.

When did it start? At some point, shine stickers started appearing on my things one by one.

The dinosaur stickers and glitter Lucy stickers disappeared, and shine took their place.

I said to Shine, waving my notes around.

“When did you put this up?”

Shine, who was reading a book in a comfortable position, made eye contact with me and spoke.

“When Jeff sleeps.”

“Where are my dinosaur stickers?”

“I moved it somewhere else. Check the drawer. ”

I started rummaging through the drawers in response to Shine’s answer.

Then, just as she said, I found my missing dinosaur stickers stuck on a transparent plastic plate.

I was wondering where you went, and you were here.

But I didn’t think I’d ever see these guys on my stuff again.

Because there were already shine stickers in those guys’ places.

Shine let out a small laugh as she looked at my dinosaur stickers.

“Isn’t the one I put on prettier?”

I nodded silently.

Anyway, what she said was true.

Actually, at first I liked the dinosaur stickers better, but these days I think the shine stickers are better.

After finishing a tough training session, I take some time for myself in a quiet place.

The room that Victor prepared separately allowed me to quietly focus on developing my abilities without being disturbed by others.

With a familiar movement, I took the iron bars out of my pocket and laid them out on the table.

“Are you doing that today too?”

After finishing her training, Shine followed me as always and watched everything I did.

I nodded at the familiar gaze and the sound of Shine’s voice.

When Shine saw me focusing on the iron bar, she shut her mouth and started reading her book.

I focused more deeply and thought about how I had derived information so far.

It makes a crackling sound as if it’s going whoosh.

I approach the iron bar with my power, feeling like I don’t even know what it means exactly.

The blue light spreads out and begins to wrap around the iron rod.

Up to this point, it wasn’t much different from how general abilities were used.

If it were normal electricity, it wouldn’t have been difficult to magnetize the iron rod, but the electricity of those with electric abilities was not normal electricity.

It was endowed with something a little more special, closer to a new energy than electricity.

The iron bar wrapped in blue light swayed slowly.

But nothing more happened than that.

I was secretly looking forward to it.

I was worried that the other iron bars that were lined up might fly and stick to the blue-tinted iron bar.

But that didn’t happen.

The same situation repeats itself for a week.

“Ugh!”

Finally, I shook my head and pushed away the iron bars in front of me.

Drooruruk – The rolled iron bar falls into disarray.

“Not working?”

“Yeah… It’s so hard.”

I answered Shine’s words and laid down on the table, rubbing my face.

Her soft cheeks crumpled and her vision became blurry.

A small sigh escapes from my mouth.

“It’s almost time for rain.”

I took out my phone and checked the time at the sound of Shine’s small voice.

Sure enough, her training time was coming to an end.

In a moment, the door behind me will open, and a little chick will fly out.

With their hands full of food.

Beep-beep-beep-beep beep!

As Shine and I expected, Rain’s voice began to be heard.

The squeaking sound I was making was the sound of the slippers I had given to Lane.

dripping-

Rain was very considerate.

She always knocks and waits for me to open the door, knowing that I am practicing my abilities in this room.

I got up from my seat, headed for the door and turned the handle.

Click – With a small sound, the door opened and a lovely blonde hair popped out through the crack.

“Jeff!”

“Rain. Are you done with your training?”

“Yeah!”

Rain naturally squeezed his way into the gap and hugged me.

She seemed to have just finished showering, and her body smelled like sweet honey.

“Did you use a body wash with a picture of a bee on it?”

“Yeah. I chose the one Jeff likes. What do you think?”

“This is the best.”

Rain smiled bashfully at my compliment and held out the plastic bag he was holding.

The bag was full, as if they had stopped by a convenience store on the way here and bought some snacks.

I missed the card that Amy confiscated.

“Jeff’s favorite cola… and this too… and that too…”

Rain laid out snacks on the table.

I threw away all the iron bars in the training that was making no progress, placed a plate on the table, and poured out the snacks.

It started out as a training room for developing abilities, but now that meaning has faded a lot.

Shine closed the book, looking at the cookies spilling onto the plate.

She came to the table, her mouth watering.

So today, another ordinary day passed by.

***

One month of capacity development training.

I was still in place.

I looked at the iron bar in my hand and sighed.

Then Victor, who was standing in front of me, looked at me and said.

“Concentrate.”

“Net!”

Because I was thinking about random things, I couldn’t concentrate on my training with Victor.

He looked at me with a thoughtful expression for a moment, then nodded and said.

“I think it’s okay to increase the level of training from today.”

“Huh? Really?”

“I guess I have to take the test before that.”

“It’s okay!”

I opened my mouth in delight at Victor’s words.

If I could get stronger through higher intensity training, if I could catch up to Victor, if I could get Amy’s approval, then I didn’t have to waste time developing these meaningless abilities anymore.

“Wrap yourself with 10 percent of your power.”

Victor said that and then raised his power.

His body was engulfed in blue light, and his gray hair that had fallen behind his back began to stick up.

Dismissal-Dismissal-

Victor’s body, surrounded by lightning, took on a faint glow.

“10 percent…”

I improved my abilities as Victor said.

As Victor showed, the way of fighting by wrapping lightning around my body was something I could use as well.

A feeling that envelops your entire body.

Blue light burst out and hair stood out like Victor.

My whole body felt tingly.

Next was output control.

Victor asked for 10 percent of my power.

So, adjust the output as he says.

Dismissed-!

The electricity that had been rushing through my body like a fish in water becomes quiet according to my will.

The hair that had been rising high into the sky is gradually lowering.

“10 percent! Done!”

The adjustment wasn’t that difficult.

Victor, who saw me succeed right away, threw me a candy.

“Ouch!”

Candy – delicious – sweet – I want to eat it.

As my accelerated thinking came to a conclusion, I reached out and grabbed the candy.

Dismissal-

I looked at the candy in my hand and smiled brightly.

Candy as a reward for such a simple exercise.

But my smile soon turned into tears.

A faint black smoke was rising from the candy in his hand, and the melted wrapper was sticking to the candy and burning it black.

“Always maintain a constant output.”

I quickly checked my body at his words.

The power that was thought to be at 10 percent was running wild.

It was popping and was going beyond 20 percent and heading towards 30 percent.

As his powers grew stronger, the blue sparks that appeared around his body increased.

I quickly adjusted the output.

“Today. Live at 10 percent output. If you succeed, I will start training at a higher intensity and teach you all the techniques I have.”

I nodded to Victor’s words.

It seemed easy as long as I didn’t let my guard down.

After the training session, Victor handed me a small bracelet.

He said as he watched me fiddling with my bracelet.

“If your power gets out of control, the White King contained in the bracelet will swallow up your abilities.”

“Baek, Baekwang? Amy’s power?”

“Yeah.”

“What happens if the White King swallows my power?”

“Then I failed this exam. The opportunity will be postponed to next year.”

“My, next year?”

“Are you not confident?”

Now that the training is over, Victor has returned to his usual playful tone and smiles provocatively.

I shook my head at his words.

“No!”

I absolutely had to pass this test.

If I could learn all of Victor’s skills, I would definitely be recognized by Amy.

Victor saw me wearing the bracelet and then left the training ground first.

I stood still and slowly took a deep breath.

Phagejik-

The activated blue lightning crackled and showed off its presence.

“Jeff~”

As always, after finishing training, Lane ran towards me.

Rain was faster than Shine today.

Rain looked at me standing there blankly, then quickly jumped up and spread his arms toward me.

At her gesture of flying towards me as if asking for a hug, I took a step back.

Thanks to my activated abilities, my thoughts and movements were quicker, and I could read Rain’s movements without difficulty.

“Oops.”

Rain, who had been trying to hug me like usual, just waved his hand in the air and smiled awkwardly.

“Rain. I can’t hug you because I’m so nervous.”

“Ting, tingling tingling?”

“Yeah.”

I showed my hand to Lane.

Because the output was low, a faint light flickered.

“No way!”

Rain sat down, greatly discouraged by my words.

“Victor told me to stay like this all day.”

“Victor!”

Rain was furious at Victor for what I said.

Rain, with his little feet thumping and chattering.

“That guy always bothers me!”

“It can’t be helped because it’s training.”

I approached Lane, who was stamping her feet, and hugged her gently.

When Rain was this angry, if I went over to her and hugged her, she would quickly calm down as if she had never been angry.

Phagecic-!

“Eugh …

One thing I overlooked was that my physical condition was different than usual.

I clearly told Lane with my own mouth that my physical condition was different than usual, but I ended up forgetting that fact.

Rain, who felt a tingling electric shock all over his body, twisted his body and collapsed.

“Rain, Rain!”

“It’s so hot!”

Rain walked away from me with a sad face.
