-H... Hi, do you need something I can help you with? - said Mike to the woman in front of him, she had a very uncommon yet simple style but was still very beautiful, but what Mike wanted was not to talk to her, was to just leave and train his ability at home.
Just moments ago, he finally got his job, the chubby man Slades gave him the job and he completed his registration in the company quickly, and excluded from the test now he wanted to use the time to train, so he could train his ability to some extent so nobody would find his lie about his power. The woman just smiled and not answer for a while but before Mike could say something again, she spoke.
-Well, I just heard you had certain abilities, PhySEC user, am I right? - Mike felt something was wrong, that woman had been looking for him before, he felt it, maybe his high sensibility to that had something to do with his power being a rare one, but he could only find it after asking the house's artificial assistant later at home.
The trick is that to be able to know that info about him before he even talked to Adam, is because she read his curriculum before. He sent the curriculum online (actually the assistant made it for him) and talked to the corresponding department before coming here.
-Yes, although I only trained my physical body and not my ability yet- he lied again, he just told his ability was the telekinesis variant since he wanted to get a job, not be rejected, and his ability could act like telekinesis to some extent.
-I see, I hope you have the time tomorrow to help me, you said you would help me, right? - said the woman with an attractive smile.
-"But I never really said it" _ sure - just as he answered the woman finally left after some short words. Mike didn't really pay attention to it, he was focused on tonight's training session, the basement of his house was fucking huge, well, the house was already big enough, but the basement area was all the house itself and all the garden surrounding it.
He didn't want to pay any attention to the woman, maybe she was just interested in Mike, maybe she just wanted someone with PhySEC ability as a bodyguard, he didn't care even asking for her name, it was clear that she had some position so he didn't really offend her on purpose and was polite.
Some minutes later he arrived home in a taxi, he had to keep some appearance after all, even if he was broke; but forget about the taxi, time to finally train his ability, just the little he trained today felt different than usual, now he wanted to read the theory of it and the theory behind his ability, or even better, have the assistant read it in loud voice while he was training it.
-Assistant, open the door- said Mike, and the first armored door opened, but not the second, mike entered and said the numbers, and then the second door opened, so he got inside.
-Assistant, why do I need to say the password for the second door? Shouldn't you identify it's me? -
-I can do that, sir, but it was the security arrangements from the previous master, Sir Alex Blood, do you want to change it? -
-Tell me the current protocol for it and why he made it do so.-
-Yes sir, the current protocol includes not only identifying the user outside, but also a security PIN code with the user's voice, previously there were other kinds of codes, not just the numeric PIN, the reason is that, although very rare, there is certain kind of abilities that can disturb and alter the sensors outside the house, or hacker that can do the same, for that reason the door was put on a certain security protocol. If you wish, sir, I can activate the full bio-metrical recognition now that you are physically here so you just need to place your hand and look at the door next time.-
-That's convenient, do that- he then went towards the stairs leading to the second floor, but instead of doing so... -activate the hidden stairs- he ordered and the stairs started separate to each side, revealing hidden stairs leading below. -"I won't get tired of this kind of thing soon"-
He went downstairs and soon reached a wide area in there he went to the big door leading to the training area and upon reaching he went to some shelves and lockers and changed clothes.
-This feels more comfortable than that formal one, now assistant, tell me the training record process number one of that ability of mine, and also tell me the theories for what I am training-
-Yes sir, I will act like a coach for your training from now on since I consider it to be better for you if I aid you in it-
-"That's better" _ so tell me, what is the difference between this ability with the telekinesis variant-
-The ability itself is completely different, sir. Telekinesis is the ability to move an object using the P.S.E.C, the energy commonly known as PhySEC, with training, telekinesis can be used as a form of blocking through moving objects that, for example, moving the bullets that were shooting towards the user, the telekinesis variant from the invisible mind ability users have its limitations, if the user is not aware of the bullet or the weapon itself he or she can be easy killed, and the telekinesis user must train his physical body, since having the ability to block bullets cost the user his or her physical strength, that's why a telekinesis user can not block, for example a shoot from a tank's cannon. Of course, that is taking in mind common users from private military organizations these times as standards-
The mechanical voice didn't stop even a single moment while Mike was warming up.
-I see, what about my ability then? it is, as long as I know, very similar-
-It can be similar, but completely different. Sir, your ability doesn't come from the common abilities for 2 reasons, first, it was bestowed by the Guild's founder to only one family in all history, your ancestors; and second, different from other abilities corresponding to the invisible mind ability category, you felt like having another part of your body, that's called the phase 0, the weakest state of your ability-
-Wow... just wow, I still can't tell the difference... is irony by the way, but anyway, that's something new, phase 0 means there are more phases, right? As long as I know most abilities start at phase 1, and then 2, and so on, anyway, keep going.- said Mike with sarcasm as he kept using the static bike.
Interestingly this static bike was not usual, it had a function to pedal with more than 100 kg, which was a lot, have ever someone used that function? What about pulling the lever on pedaling 200kg? Well, it has that function too...
-Sir, the difference is having that extra part of your body, it not only works for lifting things like telekinesis, but it has limited distance but works for more, you don't need to be aware of the 'bullet' to be able to block it as long as you place it as a 'shield', it also can be used as a weapon, but for that you need to advance to phase 2, in phase 3 you can also use it with more efficiency, using it with more precision and less energy and more force than a fully trained telekinesis variant user, while it still has the distance limit it increase from that point onwards, your grandfather reached phase 5 while he was appointed as administrative task first officer in the pace-maker faction within the guild- Mike got surprised a little,
He didn't understand the rank the assistant just mentioned but could make a guess and it was very high, after all, having that much in his house currently would cost a fortune. And the assistant, who could not read minds kept some silence for him to process the words before proceeding.
-And there is one more thing, the ability has not been developed to the maximum for hundreds of years, it is said that the maximum level reached was from your ancestor Licans Blood at phase 9, reaching 2000 meters distance with his ability, although I cannot tell more since I have no access to the detailed information-
-...did the Deity's Guild really dissolve? - Said Mike in a loud voice, he knew the answer was yes, but still had questions about it, just the assistant could not have all the answers.
Surprisingly - not at all- said the assistant - just the division of the guild on this planet is dissolved, there are more pla...- *THUD* the assistant had to shut up, not because it wouldn't say a thing but because Mike fell from the Bike while getting out of it...
-Planet?!...- said Mike without getting up... -here I thought my resistance to shocking surprises reached the maximum... assistant, what you were saying... continue that last part-
-Yes sir, there are more planets on this world that the Guild works on... and more worlds the guild currently works on too-
-Ok... I understand...- He got up and went to the weight lifting area -I understand that I should focus on my own training first-
-That's a wise decision, better concentrate on a current task that in one not yet related to your own life- said the mechanical voice of the assistant -now for your physical training, I suggest that you keep training regularly for your own health, but it has nothing to do with you PhySEC ability like with the telekinesis variant-
After those words Mike left the weights and went to the open area, then stood in the middle, not wanting to question why he lost so much time for years without knowing that, because if he tried to criticize it,
He would not stop cursing the gym about keeping his money, no
-"You need to be strong, money is not everything in life... right?"- he said in his mind and with a somehow serious face said -tell me then, assistant coach, what do I need to do, to train my ability to the next phase? -
