Chapter 8
So this is when things will start to get more interesting... Let's talk about what I found out about my special abilities, that after a long time training and trying to understand them, and even controlling them... I finally got it.
After a lot of research I found that I had a set of skills, and they all seemed to be connected. I decided to call the complete set Beasts Power, and the three abilities that are part of that set I decided to name them as: Empathy; Instinct; and Beast Talk. They're not very good names, but I never said I was good at naming things, but the names do their job of describing tje skills really well...
Empathy, as is already explicit in the name, allowed me to feel the emotions and intentions of people and animals. If a person is happy; sad; irritated; or in anger, I will know why your emotions are being transmitted to me.
And the intention is like a sixth sense, where I can feel when a person has some bad intention for me, because they would start transmitting malicious intentions. And I can even tell if a person is lying or telling the truth.
But it's also worth remembering that I will feel intentions more easily if they are focused on me. Empathy is like a radar or a detector, it can cover a large field. And I realized that Empathy works in much the same way as animals' senses, where they use those senses to sense if they're being watched by any predators, so they can run away before they're attacked.
Instinct is like a Power Up in my body. My senses as smell; taste; eyesight; and hearing, are on a more than superhuman level.
I can see things many meters away perfectly, it's like my eyes have zoomed in on them. In addition I also have night vision and infrared vision, which allows me to walk in dark places and find people, and I don't think the disillusionment spell would work against me, because even when invisible, people still transmit body heat.
But to make it even better, if I transfer magic to my eyes I will be able to see the magic! I could see the magic around; in my spells; and in myself, and I suspect that I can also see the magic of enchanted objects and other living beings. I basically have a magical Byakugan!
My sense of smell, on the other hand, could allow me to smell smells many meters away, in addition to which, after I managed to control it, which was very difficult due to the many smells my nose receivead, learned to differentiate in detail the many smells in around me. I would know the exact spices that were used in a food, and even what kind of perfume my neighbor started to use.
However, when I used magic to improve my sense of smell, as I did with vision, the only thing that happened was that I could smell smells at greater distances. It's not as good as the Magical Vision of my eyes, but it's still a huge boost in my perception.
My taste buds are the same as my sense of smell, it's bigger than the taste buds of other humans. My taste buds allowed me to feel tastes in detail, and the only difference in smell is that my taste buds are more resistant for most things, since even if something very hot or very cold was on my tongue it wouldn't do me any harm.
Maybe my sense of smell and taste also make me resistant to certain smells and tastes, like something toxic or poisonous, but I've never tested it and I don't intend to, thank you.
My hearing is the same as taste and smell, as it only allowed me to hear sounds being made in distant places. And the magical enhancement only increases my reach. And that was the most annoying and difficult sense to control, as he naturally has a wider range than the others, and every environment always has some sound.
Now you may be wondering why I didn't realize my senses were so high before. Well, the reason I didn't realize it was that I unconsciously limited them, and how was that possible? Simple, my senses started out like a normal person, so they didn't make much difference to me in childhood, and also because I had another life, where I was a normal human with normal senses, I kind of unconsciously controlled my senses to the same level, and over the years they gradually increased, almost imperceptibly, and I only found that they were stronger when one day I gave full focus to my vision trying to see in the dark of my room at night, and that was when the blockage I put in my senses was broken, and let me tell you... You may be the strongest and smartest person there is, but no brain can handle so much information at once, neither can mine...
And I guess I just didn't collapse becuse i'm a reborn, because I have magic, of for having my Beasts Power...
After a long time training my senses, I finally learned to control them to a level a little above the level of a normal human, and every now and then I increase or release some sense, and only in the smallest moments do I use them for complete, as it is still very difficult to use them all at the same time at full strength.
And there's more! Thanks to my incredible senses, I became much more powerful in fights. It was as if I knew where I was going to be attacked and could dodge, as I could hear and see the smallest details of my opponent, like the contractions in his muscles and the sound of blows coming towards me, and all of this allowed me to fight back opponents with more years of experience than me. And adding the fact that the longer a fight took, the faster and stronger I got... In short, I was unbeatable in combat.
End.

(End AN: Yes! More chapters! I'm really loving writing this story, and your fun comments and suggestions are helping me a lot. Thank you!
I'm thinking of publishing another story, but just to pass the time. Perhaps an original slice of life story. But don't worry, this story will not interfere with the release of Savage: The Night Wizard.
What would be a good nickname/codename for the twins? And a group of pranksters with the twins and Ethan should be called what?)
