As Ken's body slowly healed, he focused his mind on replenishing his Ojas, the vital energy required for magic. With each breath, he felt the energy coursing through him, restoring his strength and vitality. And then, with a surge of determination, he channeled that energy into speeding up time within his own body, accelerating the healing process.
As the wounds faded and his strength returned, Ken felt a newfound sense of power and control. He had always known that his abilities were unique, but now he realized the true extent of what he could achieve.
With a sense of calm determination, Ken stood up, feeling stronger than he had in days. Turning to Emily, who had been watching him with a mixture of awe and concern, he extended his hand.
"Let's go outside," he said quietly. "I want to feel the sun on my face and the wind in my hair."
Emily nodded, a soft smile on her lips. Together, they walked out into the world, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
But as soon as they stepped outside, they were met by a throng of reporters, their cameras flashing and voices clamoring for answers.
"Mr. Ken, can you tell us about your powers? What kind of abilities do you possess?"
"What do you say to those who fear your powers and see you as a threat?"
"Do you have any message for those who see you as a hero?"
"Mr. Ken, we saw you and the young woman with you leaving the hospital together. Can you tell us who she is and what your relationship is?"
Ken felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him as he faced the barrage of questions. He knew that his actions on the battlefield had made him a hero in the eyes of many, but he also knew that there were those who saw him as a threat. And as the reporters continued to press him for answers, Ken realized that his journey was far from over.
