"I understand that this is a very important event but why are you laughing like a crazy person?" Jayden asked in confusion.
"I've been working on a new technique for a while now and I just made a breakthrough!" Moby replied in excitement.
"Really! Let me see!" Jayden asked with a curious look in her eye.
Moby's eyes glowed a slight purple as he used his "Energy Sense" once more to check if there was anyone spying on them or if anyone was in the area. He was relieved to find out that there was no one within the range of his energy sense except him and Jayden.
"Here it goes!" Moby said as he lifted Jayden 1 meter off the ground.
'She is as light as a feather' Moby thought with a smile.
"WOOOOWWWW!! How are you doing this! Did you develop telekinesis!?" Jayden asked flabbergasted by what she is seeing.
"Sort of… It's an invisible hand technique. I've been working on this technique for a while now," Moby said, lying through his teeth.
He was still not comfortable about exposing his secret about the system just yet and he has yet to tell her that he can read all her emotions. He doesn't know how she would react to it. He plans to tell her soon but he has yet to find the opportune time.
At this point, Moby has full trust in Jayden without a shadow of a doubt. He had been checking her emotions every day and every time he did, it always seemed genuine. She has yet to act fake around him, not even once.
In his entire life, Moby has never had anyone like her. Someone who he can put his full trust into. A true friend. But, nowadays, he feels like he wanted to be more than that. But, he was still inexperienced in those matters and can't properly sort out his own emotions about such things.
Moby sometimes finds himself thinking,
'Maybe I should have just let her rape me that day,'
Before shrugging it off.
Moby assumed that their mind link was always right so he never bothered to ask Jayden about her emotions towards him.
Moby's and Jayden's mind link does not share emotions related to love. But, Moby has no knowledge of this. So, he just assumes that Jayden no longer has any interest in him like she said the day he turned her into a demon. Most of the time he would check her emotions, it would only show as "happy", so he assumed that Jayden had no attraction towards him anymore. So, anytime his lustful thoughts emerged about her, he would always shove them to the back of his head thinking.
'If I get my emotions too out of control, I might say something weird or I might someday abuse my power to force myself on her and order her to do things she does not want to do which will ruin our relationship."
Jayden is his first-ever true friend and he does not want to ruin it just because of his selfish desires.
"Do you feel a hand holding you from your shirt?" Moby asked Jayden.
"Yes, I do! What about it?" Jayden replied.
"Try slicing it off, I want to test out its durability, don't go too hard on it at first though," Moby said.
"Sure thing!" Jayden said, karate chopping the invisible hand, doing no damage to it.
"Now try using your full power, without using your ability," Moby said after seeing that her first attack was ineffective.
Jayden nodded as she did a full-powered karate chop towards the invisible hand. Again, her attack had no effect.
"Now try using your ability," Moby said.
Jayden nodded once again as she infused her karate chop with her shadow ability, breaking the hand in the process.
'The durability is not even that bad, but, I need to do more experiments with this new skill in the future. There are many things I still don't know about it. I need to test its limits. It costs 10 demon energy every second, which is more than any other skill in my repertoire. In these few seconds of experimenting, he had already consumed all of his demon energy on this skill. If he were to use it in a fight, it would only be for short bursts of less than one second to throw off the enemy or quickly pull them in for an attack,' Moby thought.
Jayden fell back on the ground in an elegant manner and had eyes brimming with excitement.
"I'm going to try this new skill out myself!" Jayden said as she transformed into Moby.
When she tried the ability, her range was only 6 meters and it looked like it took her a lot more effort to pick Moby up than when he tried it on her. Also, her invisible hand was a lot more fragile than Moby's making her a bit disappointed.
"Why was it so much better when you did it!" She grumbled as she transformed back into her normal body.
"Remember, you get a 30% debuff when you transform into another person. but, don't be discouraged. You are still able to wield 2 abilities at once, in my case, all my skills plus your ability and I'm sure the 30% debuff will considerably lessen once you evolve," Moby said, trying to cheer her up.
"Ya, your right! Thanks for that! you always know how to make me feel better!" Jayden replied with a cute, heartwarming smile that made Moby's stomach flutter a little.
*RING* *RING* *RING* *RING*
The bell sounded marking the end of lunch and marking the start of the break.
"We still haven't finished our lunch yet. I was about to dig into that delicious chicken sandwich. Care to join me for the rest of break?" Moby said to Jayden, returning the same heartwarming smile she had just given him.
"Of course! I would love to!" Jayden replied, smiling back at him as she sat down next to him to continue their lunch.
They spent the rest of their break together making small talk and cracking jokes about the torture spree they had just recently finished with.
After the break ended and everyone went back to class, Moby decided to assign the 70 stat points he had gained from completing his revenge quest on Nathan and his gang.

*************
After school,
As soon as the bell rang, Moby immediately left school and headed towards the Jasmine Gorgan tea shop located only 2 kilometres north of the school to meet up with Abby.
The shop was a fairly quiet place, perfect to have a normal conversation while drinking tea. Rarely do students ever go there which is perfect for Moby.
There was no one in line. So, Moby did not have to wait for his turn to order.
"1 medium Gorgan Classic, extra milk and lower sugar. please, " Moby ordered.
"That will be 5 dollars, sir!" The cashier replied with a smile.
Moby scanned his watch on a white pad on the counter to pay for his purchase.
[Payment Confirmed!]
Moby had a total of 450$ from saving up the 50$ the school gave him every day. A 5 dollar decrease was not a big deal for him at all.
"Thank you, sir! Your tea will be ready in 2 minutes please find a vacant seat and we will call you when your tea is ready!" The cashier said, while still smiling.
Moby walked away and chose a seat on a 2 person table.
Moby had gotten Abby's contact info on their way back to class in the morning. So, he decided to contact her to see where she is at.
As soon as he was about to send her a message, He saw a girl with long red hair tied up in a ponytail wearing a student uniform enter the shop heavily panting. She had a nice, slim yet busty figure accompanied by a cute face.
It was Abby Ried.
Even though he does admit that she looks much better than most girls at school, Moby found no sexual interest at all in her appearance. For Moby, compared to Jayden, she still looked fairly subpar.
"Sorry, I'm late! I hope I didn't make you wait too long!" Abby said while still panting.
