When Jono connected his mind with his ape puppet earlier, he seemed to get a few memory fragments from it about the super abilities possessed by it. Because of that, he immediately knew what type of super ability his ape puppet had.
Jono was very happy with this new discovery. He could finally say that he had mastered his super ability. He then sits in a meditative state and then performs his breathing technique. Even though he runs out of magic energy, this breathing technique can help restore his magic energy.
"Calm down, don't be too happy, always be calm, stay calm even when you're happy, that's my life motto," he said with a big smile. In Jono's mind, he can't wait to show off his super abilities in public.
Two hours later, his magic energy was full again. Jono then started to control the ape puppet again by connecting with his consciousness. He tried various things in controlling the ape puppet, then he tested the super abilities of the ape puppet, too. He tried several times until he got used to it.
The super ability of his ape puppet is associated with the element of gravity. Currently, Jono can't control the element of gravity at will; he can only take advantage of the super abilities of his ape puppet by using the innate skills awakened by it. In order to add skills and techniques to the super abilities of his ape puppet, he must continue to practice and increase his power level.
The first skill of the ape's super ability can increase the gravity by twice normal gravity and also decrease the gravity by half normal gravity on a surface with a diameter of one meter with the ape as the center. This innate skill can last up to three minutes until his magic energy runs out. Currently, he only knows this one innate skill. He knows that in the future, the stronger he is and the more advanced the ape puppet is, the more skills and techniques he will be able to use or create.
He called the first innate skill of his ape puppet super ability "Gravitational Field". An innate skill is different from a technique. An innate skill is the result of the re-emergence of skills from within the memory of super abilities hidden in one's body, which are acquired as the power level increases. While a technique is a self-made movement to utilize the effects of each other's super abilities.
Most people who have awakened their super abilities can immediately use their super abilities, however, some people do not understand or master their super abilities right away.
Jono's ape puppet had awakened its super abilities, even gaining a derivative skill or innate skill. With a lot of practice, he can definitely increase his control over this super ability and create various techniques of his own making.
But there is one weakness that Jono is currently thinking about. Unlike other people who only have one super ability, they can focus on improving proficiency using their super ability. He can have more than one super ability, which makes his task in training to improve his proficiency in using super abilities increase.
Because one of the requirements to increase the power level smoothly and maximally is to maximize proficiency using super abilities. Due to Jono's divided focus on increasing proficiency in using his super abilities, it will definitely make him a bit slow in increasing his power level. After considering the benefits and drawbacks of his super abilities, he realized he needed to train harder than anyone else.
He realized that the higher his power level, the greater his control over his super abilities. And with the connection between the ape puppet and himself, he could feel that his ape puppet had a power level in the first stage, despite the fact that he himself had not progressed to the first stage of the first phase.
Because of this, Jono immediately realized why his ape puppet could use his first innate skill when he controlled it. It was due to the fact that his ape puppet already had a power level in the first stage. He recalled something he had learned in middle school: most people acquire their first innate skill when their power level reaches the first stage of the first phase. After making this discovery, he couldn't wait to get to the first stage.
"I can't wait to advance to the first stage."
"What innate skills will I get?"
"I want cool innate skills."
"I already understand my super ability."
"How come I haven't entered the first stage yet?"
"Maybe my physical strength is still lacking," said Jono, grimacing.
He then moved towards the last beast's cage while carrying his dagger. The chameleon-shaped beast with green and silver patterns was helpless in his spirit of stabbing and slashing. A few moments later, the chameleon's body, which had a length of twenty centimeters, was limp to death.
But this time, Jono didn't control his ape puppet to absorb magic energy and carcass from the chameleon beast. He wanted to absorb the magical energy released from the chameleon beast's carcass for himself.
"Then I have to raise my power level first," he exclaimed excitedly. At least he already understood about his super ability.
Jono then sat in a meditation pose to absorb the magic energy of the chameleon-shaped beast while doing the breathing technique. He circulates his magic energy an unknown number of times. Suddenly, he feels a shock throughout his entire body and mind. He notices his body strength increasing and his Abs are also getting stronger, which means that his soul power has increased.
"I made it into the first stage!"
"Finally, after all this time," he exclaimed joyfully. Coincidentally, today he is also progressing and is now in the first stage of the first phase.
Jono then did another breathing technique until his whole body felt comfortable again. One hour later, he opened his eyes and took a deep breath. He then examined his body parts and performed various simple movements to test his new power.
Whereas at first, he could only do fifteen push-ups, now he can do up to 25. This is a significant increase, and the amount of accumulated magic energy in his body has also increased. Usually, he could control the ape puppet for less than one hour, but now he assumes he can control the ape puppet for up to one and a half hours, of course, without using the ape's super abilities.
Jono then attempted to control the ape puppet once more. He was curious if there was a difference between before and after he broke through to advance to the first stage in the first phase, other than the amount of magic energy that increased and increased endurance or body strength. He moved the ape puppet around again, and this time, it surprised him. The control distance had increased to six meters. He then attempted to connect his consciousness and activate the ape's innate skill, but this time he was disappointed because there is no change in the ape's super abilities.
"My controlling ability has improved, but my ape puppet's super ability has not," said Jono, while stroking his brow.
"This means that the increase in an ape's ability is dependent on the level of the ape puppet itself, whereas the ability to control an ape puppet is dependent on my level, and the power level of an ape puppet is now equivalent to that of a beast in the first stage of the first phase."
"Now I'll assume that in order to increase my super abilities, such as the control distance on my puppet, I need to raise my level, and in order to raise the ape puppet's super ability, I need to raise its level as well by absorbing the magic energy and carcass of beasts," Jono said, beginning to understand something about raising his power level.
"However, the beast used to have at least the same power level as my ape puppet."
"I'll try to prove my assumption tomorrow."
"If it's proven, I'll proceed to the next stage of the experiment."
"It is how many puppets I can make and control." Jono thought to himself, remembering the details of what had happened so far and what he would do in the future.
"At least my power level has increased to the first stage of the first phase."
"I won't be left behind at school anymore."
"I'm hoping to get to the second stage before school starts," he exclaimed excitedly, his face brightening once more. He kept practicing until midnight. Other than eating and sleeping, he won't stop.
Jono feels his endurance has increased, so he keeps practicing until he reaches his limit. He went to take a shower after reaching his limit to clean himself up and prepare for bed.
"Today is the best," he mumbled, before falling asleep with a smile.
Today, Jono is joyful because he has achieved two of his goals. The first is to understand and master his super ability; the second is to increase his strength and advance to the first stage of the first phase.
