I was sent to my room with a slap warning me never to hit women, my face was still burning. It could be said that both me and Zayn were even now, there was no enmity again.
You could say I ended up collecting the most out of everyone today.
The dull pain in my head was receding
But there was one thing that was on my mind.
'I think I just used magic'
The reason why his hand was raised in that blocking motion wasn't because I was too fast, no!
My hand speed was so slow that she caught in easily. But something inside me adamantly insisted on slapping her no matter what!
I remember raising my hand to slap her for talking trash about my parents. In fact thinking about it all over again is making me regret. I could have done worse!
But when my hand was obstructed and held in the air, my anger that had no outlet to pass out through ended up fueling my Energy?.
And my hand ...'phased through…?'
***
"Why did you have to adopt someone like that? I can't accept him even as a distant relative house. He has no redeeming qualities"
In response, a tired lazy drawl could be heard from Amir. "You know, the fact that you got hit is the exact same reason I keep telling you to train harder. I mean, you're supposed to be the second farthest in 'The project'.
You're 'a whole' Entry-level mage who reached that level at age 15 and mastered Energy Control before becoming a Beginner. You were actually hit by a barely-Trainee level kid, in the face." he added the last part for good measure.
The other voice became quiet silent! There was a look of defeat on her face.
"He used Space Magic." she said unsure of herself but still deciding to call it out
"WHAT!" the lazy impression he was giving off had disappeared without a trace and he was up
"You said he used Space Magic? Explain it carefully to me"
The first voice quickly recounted the experience…
After talking the man was deep in thought.
She continued "I don't know about the higher tier spells for their sub-class but was there a lower tier spell for Space Mages?"
"There isn't" the man said after finishing his thoughts. "And what did you even do to him to make him that angry? You didn't ask to be slapped right" the man asked as if he doubted whether she was seriously that dumb.
"I did NOT ask to be slapped!" she shouted angrily before recalling. What did she do again?
Upon realizing what she'd done she instantly flinched "I… told him his 'parents' must not have trained him properly"
"You told an orphan that his parents must not have trained him properly. I see"
"In hindsight that might not have been the best idea" she admitted a bit ashamedly.
"Well, what were you expecting? For him to break down and start confessing about how he doesn't have parents growing up, and how he misses his mum every night-"
"Okay! but he also tried to start something by taunting me about my height. I'm still growing, is all" she trying to defend herself.
"Pfft" the man started suppressing a laugh.
"Don't laugh! 'They' told me I'm expected to grow another 3inches before the end of the year."
"Hahahaha" the man still seemed to insist on laughing.
"It's not funny, he actually hit me. I swear, if it's the last thing I do I will finish what I didn't start."
"Threatening someone who just awakened yesterday? Why don't you give him some time"
"I'll give him until a month!
It seemed that all was okay on this side. The man looked towards the wall separating this room and activated his Energy vision. Finally focusing on that area actively after ignoring the past emissions he felt
There he saw a boy about 5'9 poking his hand through other things in the room.
'Seriously ALL of my kids are freaks'
My hand phased through the tomboy's hand… that must have been Space Magic.
SO COOL! I instantly began to attempt that spell again
"Space Magic!" Nothing
"Space Magic!" Nothing
It's not working? I tried to return the feeling I felt when my hand phased through her hand. But it wasn't working.
"Portal!"
"Portal!
'What else!' if I can't get that feeling again who knows when it's going to come back. Or if it's going to come back
"PORTAL!"
Wait I think I felt something the last time. I think if I try to ask my brain to control the fictious Energy that I have for me, my body might react on its own.
So long story short; I'll just 'Imagine' I have Energy in my body and cause that to move according to my will.
Let's go.
I used the method I imagined, closed my eyes and visualized controlling a mystical Energy in my body and then I felt it.
I opened my eyes to see my hand become a dazzling blue light turning intangible!
"Woah. I look like Danny Phantom."
The blue light surrounding my hand seems to be the cause of it. I try putting my hand through the bedroom door and watch it pass through the door, my wrist appearing to be made of a door.
'Doorfist!'
I instantly become fascinated with the thought of being able to go through walls like a ghost. I could be a master thief, or an escape artist. But best of all, I could use this to use avoid people in school tomorrow.
I gained a new power. The power of Intangibility. With this I am the safest troll in the world!
But calming down from my initial hype it war probably that blasted Energy Acclimatization Rate of 100% that allowed me to use Space Magic so easily and freely.
'What if I test the applications of this power
I decided to practice moving my hands through other objects. I started with shoving my right hand into the door, then the floor, the wardrobes until just as I was about to shove it through the last thing on my agenda: the neighboring wall, I stumbled, falling flat on my back unto the mahogany floorboards.
I tried to move my hands and legs only to find that I was paralyzed! I couldn't move my arms and legs no matter how hard I tried. They felt like soggy noodles
'This whole thing seems familiar…' this is also what happened when I first awakened wasn't it.
If it was anything like the last time, the only thing I could do was to hope for it to wear out after a good night sleep.
I drifted off to sleep on the cold hardwood floor.
