"Big brother. Look."
The cheerful Melissa appeared in front of Lucas with a smile on her face as her body began to radiate a glowing blue light.
Lucas, who was currently making breakfast, was surprised and couldn't help going silent for a second.
"Big brother...?" Melissa carefully asked as she noticed his reaction was strange.
"It's nothing." Lucas smiled and ruffled her hair.
Actually, it wasn't nothing. If anything, it was something big.
Melissa had just broken straight into the third level of the Apertures Opening stage. That's right. She didn't develop step by step as a regular hyuman would. Instead, she skipped the entire Body Strengthening stage, together with the first and second levels of the Apertures Opening stage, to sit right at the third level.
This was an incredible feat, at least by this world's standards, which was why Lucas was speechless.
