6 Chapter 6: Testing my Limits

The day seemed to drag on as both my ballroom dance classes and Classical strings class had several disturbances, all in the form of either outside girls or girls in my class. In fact, the following week went the same way.

Classes carried on, with rumours spreading and girls' attention becoming even more obstructing. Especially Emily, Charlotte, Diana, and Sofia. With Emily teasing me in class, Charlotte always seeming to find me whenever I finally thought I was alone, Diana almost always grinding on different parts of my body, and Sofia just obsessively glaring into me whenever she saw me.

But finally, the weekend had arrived at last, and I had grand plans for my weekend outing. I had purchased a bus ticket taking me a fair way out of Academy grounds to a small town, once arriving and asking a local for directions I took a small hunting path up into the wilderness. When I was completely isolated with my only possible viewers being nature itself I began to experiment with my strange new powers.

Starting with the basic senses as well as my body I pushed myself and tested my limits. Punching trees leaping into the air sprinting as fast as I could, and even holding my breath underwater. Every aspect of my body had improved drastically. Enough so that in all aspects I was in the same range as an Olympic athlete if not even more impressive. Frankly, my strength and stamina actually frightened me.

And that's not including my smell, sight, and hearing. Even my sense of touch felt strangely more apt. I could feel tiny little details in all features of anything I touched far my thoroughly. It was an amazing experience that really brought a deep-seated appreciation for this new body of mine. Though I still hadn't figured out how to see if my sense of taste improved, however, food did seem far more distinct and diverse. I also realized I now had perfect pitch, which came as a surprise because before this I had been as far as one could be from being musically gifted.

Once I experimented with my new body, I began to try the more complicated ideas that came to mind. First of all was flight, which didn't seem to work at all, and I wasn't about to test it by leaping from any cliffs or even taller trees.

I had definitely gained a confidence boost from this new body of mind, but I wasn't able to survive a fifty-foot fall, at least I didn't think so. Wandering around the wilderness while relying on my new sense to help me find my way home I began to brainstorm possible powers.

The first thing that came to mind was the scent I could release. It seemed to be an aphrodisiac, whether it would let the girls remember what they acted like or not I had no idea. I didn't even know if it had any effect on their personalities long term, though the possibility of mind control occurred to me, I still had my morals, and I was worried that if something went wrong I would be on the run for the rest of my life.

Right now though I was extremely tempted to go flaunting my new powers, I knew this was more of a curse than a blessing. Messing with the wrong woman could ruin my life, or even the lives of my family. Though I had never been the most devoted family man, I still worked so hard to get into Midbrook Academy for the sake of my parents, the last thing I wanted to do was endanger them.

Thinking more deeply about what an incubus was I began to think of other seduction techniques, maybe I even had some sort of power that could create illusions. Though after unsuccessfully attempting to create images and illusions for thirty minutes I gave up.

I began to emit my scent maybe thinking it would lead to other powers when I began to notice a strange occurrence. A few animals began to crowd around me, at first it was just squirrels, but soon rabbits and birds, and even a bear were all surrounding me just sniffing the air around me. When I shut off my scent they all seemed to fall out of their daze and the small critters immediately scurried off, the bear, however, looked towards me and began to growl in defence, confused by the circumstances that lead it here.

I began to slowly walk backwards, facing the bear but never making eye contact. Once I was within two hundred meters and couldn't see the bear anymore, thanking luck for not tripping while making my way backwards, I turned around and quickly paced off.

After the traumatic experience, I swore to never use my scent without absolutely having to. If only I knew at the time what the future would hold.

I had decided after my Saturday outing, that to test the rest of my powers I needed a test subject, I still even considered the possibility that I had illusion magic but it didn't work cause there was no one to illude or confuse while I was practicing.

While riding the bus home that day all I could think about was how badly I wished I had a master like all the protagonists seemed to gain just by luck after discovering their powers.

Instead of some master or even a test subject waiting for me at home, however, there were just two groups of horrifying-looking beefy men in suites glaring daggers. Arriving at the scene of the two crowds glaring daggers in my living room was baffling at first, that is until I saw the two gorgeous girls I had somehow missed who seemed to actually be sending even stronger killing intent toward each other.

When I made my presence known by awkwardly coughing, the atmosphere somehow perfectly came to a halt, with the burly men all collectively looking at me with both judgment and confusion, while the two girls, Charlotte and Sofia seemed to send their most charming smiles towards me at the same time.

Once again I was surprised how the situations in my life just continued to become even more absurd, at first it was the school's ice-cold teacher. But now the daughter of one of the biggest corporations in the western world as well as the daughter of the biggest Russian mafia boss were both sitting in my living room welcoming me home.
