5 5: Targets
•~•~•~•~•~•
Holy shit...
That's Baekdu.
Hmm... Will I be able to trick Sucheon into letting me see their Force Control?...
Oh, they're coming towards father.
Well, only one way to find out...
...
"Hmm... Congrats on being the Head, Han-Ji. But the question is, would you be able to fill the big shoes your father left?" said Supil mockingly.
As my father was about to reply, Supil's arm was suddenly slapped by the woman beside him.
"Supil! I'm sorry about him..."
"Aish, I was just teasing them. No need to be riled up" replied Supil with a small smile.
...
What the fuck?
Is he the same Supil Kang who beat his own son?
What the hell is going on?...
Butterfly effect?
Did my existence do that?
My thoughts were broken as the woman spoke,
"Su-ai, why don't you make friends with them?..." she said with a motherly smile, looking at me and Subin.
"O-okay..."
Okay, really? He changed so drastically!
...
"Hi... I'm Sucheon Kang..." the boy says as the adults go someplace else.
"Eh, not interested," stated Subin, going back to the Fondue Station.
"Hays, she's Subin, and I'm Shinji Lee. Nice to meet you." I reply, and the boy's expression brightens up a bit.
...
"So, are you Awakened yet?" I ask.
"Yes..."
"Huh... I am too. So what is your Ability?"
"Mother says it's Gyrokinesis..."
...
After a few more minutes of talking...
"Really? It just turned to ice!?" said Sucheon enthusiastically.
"Yeah... It fell on her head too... Say, do you know about Force Control?" I ask.
"Huh? Well, yeah! Father recently taught me a few weeks ago!"
Sigh...
He's too innocent.
It almost makes me feel guilty tricking this boy...
ALMOST.
"Can you show me?"
"Eh? But... They said to never show it to anyone else..." he replied, nervously.
"What? It's not like you're going to teach it to me. My father also told me to never show my Force Control, but, since we're friends, maybe I'll show it to you..." I say, looking away.
"W-well... Okay. I'll show it, but only if you promise not to tell anybody."
"Okay! It'll be like our own secret." I reply.
"Alright! Follow me..."
...
We went to a room where there weren't any people.
Sucheon then sat and began using his Force Control.
I touch his back and insert an unnoticeable amount of my energy.
Looking at his Force Control... The only thing I can say about it is... Aggressive.
He slowly elevates his energy and aggressively collapses it.
...
"And that's it! That's my Force Control! What about yours?" he says, smiling brightly.
"Huh? Oh. Yeah. Okay..."
Wait. Does he even know how to look at my Force Control...?
Once I sit, he sits in front of me.
I start moving my energy, but not the way Grandfather taught us.
I wasn't just going to show my Force Control to a boy whose father is a fucking psychopath in the series...
Instead of the slow and steady way of moving it, I move it fast and shaky.
Even though I'm not sure if he can see it, I'm just making sure.
...
"That's it. Pretty basic, right?" I tell him.
"Well, we sit the same way, so it can't be basic..." he replies, unsure.
"Anyway, thank you for showing it!" he adds.
...
"You should go back, maybe your parents are looking for you."
"Yeah! But what about you?" he asks.
"I'm playing Hide and Seek with my grandpa, so don't tell anyone I'm here, okay?
"Okay!" he shouts, running out of the room.
...
Okay, he's finally out of the room.
I need to try their Force Control, now!
...
After sitting down, I try moving my energy the same way Sucheon moved his.
...
It's so fucking hard! It's like pushing air!
It's because this Force Control is in no way related to mine... Sigh...
...
Wait! What if I focus the energy on one point, and that's what I elevate...
So, I do just that, and it finally elevates, just a tiny bit, almost unnoticeable.
Sigh. This isn't like the Cryokinesis that flows throughout my body like blood...
But still, at least there's progress!
I'll try this again later...
...
Coming out of the room, I look around, looking to see if Sucheon and his family are still there...
They're not.
Phew.
...
If only Jiyoung wasn't so smart and Jisuk wasn't so troublesome, I could have learned the Aerokinesis Force Control...
Sigh...
...
I go to the Fondue Station and I can see Subin eating cheese, while Jisuk is covered in chocolate.
"Pfft."
"What happened to him?" I ask Subin while pointing at Jisuk.
•~•~•~•~•~•
After talking to Jisuk, well more like teasing, I look for my grandfather.
After spotting him, I talk to him about me, getting tired and wanting to go home.
I'm not really tired, I just want to try out the Force Controls I learned.
Yes, I learned another before Sucheon arrived.
An emotion manipulation ability.
The ability came from an unsupervised boy. He was such an idiot that he became annoying to talk to. At least he was smart enough to remember his Ability and their Force Control...
Such an interesting ability, but it came to an idiotic user...
Their family wasn't that known, and their ability was one of the most interesting abilities I could find in this event.
I asked around and there were Chain Ability, Weak Telekinesis, Hair Manipulation, etc.
I wanted to learn the Chain Ability, but it's like they knew I had ulterior motives when I approached their family...
They stayed away from me...
Too bad.
...
Anyway, I convinced my grandfather to send Subin and me home.
...
After dragging Subin to our room, I waited until she was asleep, and then I practiced the Force Controls I learned.
I'm probably not going to openly show the Gyrokinesis.
Maybe I'll use it to boost the speed of my Water and Ice...
And the Emotion Ability... It will help me with gaining more Abilities...
****
What did you think of the chapter?
What are your thoughts about innocent Sucheon?
P.S:
He won't stay that way. Something will happen to the Kang Family, off screen, changing the father and son into what we know of them now.
P.P.S:
If you guys are worried about Shinji getting overpowered very quickly...
Don't.
It's not like he's going to master the Force Controls in an instant...
