I woke up in the morning to the sound of the doorbell, of course I had to answer it because I live alone as both my parents work abroad. I got out of bed and walked downstairs to answer the door. The moment I opened it came rushing in Shirou without even taking his shoes off, running his mouth about where we're gonna see what I can do with my "power" and how we're going to do it.
"You forgot to take your shoes off." I said while interrupting him.
"O-Oh sorry my bad" He replied as he walked towards the door to take off his shoes.
"It seems to me like you're more excited about this than I am, to be honest I'm terrified."
"Terrified of what? For fuck's sake you pretty much have superpowers and today we're gonna figure out exactly what they are."
"Power invites challenge, challenge incites conflicts and conflicts…breeds catastrophe…"
"…really? A line from a movie?"
"Whatever alright it's true. So where and how are we gonna do this exactly?"
"Go get changed first."
After I showered and changed into a tracksuit which seemed appropriate for the situation and we left the house. Even at this point Shirou still hadn't told me where and how this was gonna happen.
We ended up taking a train from Shinjuku, where we live, to Chiyoda. I was then led by Shirou to a large abandoned building that was halfway constructed.
"How did you even find this? And how are we gonna get in?" I asked Shirou.
"There's an opening in the fence at the back. We can get in form there."
We walked towards the opening in the fence at the back of the building. Once we entered the building we climbed up to the second floor.
"Alright Takeshi, first things first, you need to find out how to get that red thing going because that seems to indicate that you're actually using your powers." said Shirou
"O-Okay…I think I just need to think that I need to use it." I replied to Shirou as I closed my eyes and began to concentrate on wanting to use my power. As I was doing this , slowly a red glow started to surround my body.
"I think it's working!" exclaimed Shirou
"Yeah I feel it!"
And soon the blood red flame-like aura once again engulfed my entire being. I could feel that I was stronger and faster. I also felt as if my senses had heightened. This power was surging through my veins and I could feel it…but I was afraid I didn't know how to control it.
"Woah your eyes are red too! Alright first the test of strength."
As Shirou said this I looked towards the wall on my right. It was a fairly thick wall made of cinderblocks. For some strange reason, I knew I could break it pretty easily. I walked over to the wall and thought I should take it step by step, so I thought I should start with a simple flick.
I raised my right hand towards the wall and moved my left foot back simultaneously and flicked my finger. Our faces shocked at the sight of the results…a massive hole in the wall and the force the flick had made a hole in the wall roughly 5 to 10 meters ahead of it…and more walls ahead until we could see the outside of the building.
The aura faded away and we slowly turned our heads from the hole to each other and our expressions of shock turned into excitement.
"HOLY SHIT!" Said both of us at the same time.
"I think we should find a different place to test my powers, I did way more damage than I expected to. We'll get in trouble if we stay here."
"Yeah let's leave." replied Shirou.
We left the building and walked to a little playground in a nearby street and decided it should be enough to test my speed. The park was about 25 meters long. Shirou kept a rock at one end of the park and we walked over to the other end.
"To test your speed, go over there and bring that rock back here as fast as you can." said Shirou as he pulled out his phone and opened up the timer"
"Alright should be easy enough."
Once again I channeled the power and as instructed I ran over to the end and brought the rock back. I knew I was literally about a billion or even a trillion times faster than I was before I had this power. The playground was covered in sand and I was back before the dust had time to reach the air. I was overwhelmed by the strength and speed I had.
"HAAa!" screamed Shirou as he saw me with the rock in my hand before he could even start the timer
We laughed afterwards and headed back home while discussing the results of my "power testing" but while we were on the way to the Chiyoda train station, we came across a strange but beautiful girl…and the surrounding area had a purple hue to it.
