It has been about a day since my reincarnation. I have two sets of 'current' or 'recent' memory, but also blurry past memories that overlap some of my current ones.
(If I knew my parallel future memories were going to incarnate in this body, I would have spent more time learning more topics in school..)
I knew I had learned plenty at school already, but the thought I could have done more still lingers in my head after thinking to dismiss the stray thought before going to bed..
It has not been 24 hours yet, but it's close. It should be around 3 in the morning.
"Eh" (No way.)
I felt like, for just a moment, I was able to use my telekinesis.
(It's worse than the first initial time I learned my ability was telekinesis.. I am not crazy, but it doesn't stop the irritability from affecting my mind. Probably why magic exists in legends, but no one knows it anymore.)
(I wonder how I should train my telekinesis differently this time.)
It was once theorized that depending how you train your ability it would evolved your ability at the cost of losing another possibility. An example would be a fire type ability user loses the ability to train an Earth type ability without a compromise or efficiency.
It was when I was just imagining pulling air through each other when I felt ridiculousness creep up my spine..
(I think I might now know why I was labeled dangerous. I could have had matter go through other matter. I don't know the principles, but if this is possible.. I should be able to phase through matter with telekinesis.. Or maybe I could permanently fold it like a wormhole..)
(Using telekinesis to make something float permanently was my original goal. I wanted a floating Castle or island at one point. Kinda childish, now that I think about it..)
At this point it was proven. I could indeed train my ability before the so called metastasis hits.
(Could I make money with my telekinesis? I could make strong and durable items, but what items and whom would I sell them to? I could also do large-scale work like terraforming.. Or I could get a farm.. or move water at a dam with water turbines to convert my ability to electricity.. I could reinforce engine parts or pipes for better durability too..)
Daydreaming, while practicing his currently miniscule ability, Jim laid patiently on his bed until he heard a knock.
Judith walked into my room.
(I need to make sure I'm not too aggressive or show how much I don't like her.)
"Morning." I said as neutrally as possible while sitting up on the bed.
"Ms Morris is making breakfast, let's get you up and ready for the day."
(I don't think I can pretend all my life, but who can blame a child for their childish attitude anyways? I'll just do what I please..)
Judith had came back from the dresser with some clothes, then lead me to the bathroom connected to my room. She placed down my clean clothes on counter, got my worn clothes, while I got in the shower.
When I got to the dining room I saw what I presumed was my plate. I sat down looking at the biscuits and gravy with an omelet next to it. The omelet had onions, tomatoes, ham and cheese mixed into it. I chopped and stirred the two together.
Ms Morris while smiling looked at me and said, "good morning."
I nodded back replying, "yes, good morning."
I noticed Judith's brow wrinkled for a moment.
(Ha, did the traitor want to be greeted too?)
"What are today's plans?"
I felt like something is going to happen today considering the caretakers bothered to get me ready so early.
"We are going to T University, you said you wanted to play with some typewriters?"
" I said computers, but that's fine too. I'd like to read some books too."
Judith raising an eyebrow asks, " oh? Sounds like you know many things about these computers?"
"Yup." (Not that I know what else to say.)
I just continued eating while Ms Morris didn't put too much thought into what I said. Judith looked like she had a thoughtful question in her mind, says, "looks like you'll be the most knowledge third grader in your class at this rate.."
" Ha! " I bang my right palm on the table, then said in a relaxed tone after a pause," the smartest in A city is most, *snort* trivial." I tried to pretend to sound arrogant, while raising my nose into the air for the last word.
Judith just looks at me with a deadpan expression replying, "oh, I see."
Ms Morris nods like this was a typical acceptable behavior, then scolds after seeing some liquid on the table from her cup, "Jim, you shouldn't bang on the table while eating."
" Oh yeah, when is the next time my parents going to show up?"
I had never been too close to my parents, and even after their deaths I was more mad that they died than sad. However, after the Apocalypse I had felt regret that they had to be targeted. I can change this fate, even if I never felt their love directly, because their money did. I know they say money can't buy happiness, but the lack of money can facilitate frustration and unhappiness as I've seen many other scholar students working part time for spending money.
