There was a transport waiting for him outside his apartment to take him to the clinic. It was not a very long trip. He was in the place half an hour later. There were quite a few people in the clinic; while they took him to a room, he heard the workers murmur among themselves.
He felt somewhat uncomfortable as they were talking about him and how these tests had been postponed for so long, considering that he was a returnee. They believed that Tom’s tutor was someone in some critical position because of this.
The fear generated by the talk among the employees dissipated when the tests began. The doctor explained that if there were something wrong, they would have taken it when he arrived at Vyndra. He learned that the nubots in his body sent information about his health, and as the gifted had strategic importance, they also knew about Tom from the training center.
From these comments, he did not know whether to feel safe or not and for the moment, he preferred not to think about this.
Thanks to physical tests, he confirmed that his endurance and strength had significantly increased, in addition to his mental processes, as he was told they were several times faster than before. He was still a bit uneasy about the fact that they knew so much about him. However, it was just what was related to the physical and some other personal details due to the way he came to Vyndra, and he had been told when he arrived on the planet that he would be monitored. He did not think it would be to such a degree; he felt naked in front of these people.
Beyond those details that people on this planet took for granted, the medical examination did not turn out to be as scary as he had imagined.
A few hours later, he returned to his apartment and had the rest of the day and the week off, thanks to the analyzes and the improvement of the body. It was the same for his companions; they had to adapt to the new state of their body to avoid problems. His teacher gave him a series of exercises to do these days just for that, and also told him that they would not train together until next week.
A few days passed without any problem. The little one had grown a little and was discovering things on his own. He was surprised by how independent he was, even so, sometimes he looked for some warmth and approached Tom. In this, he was different from Drako, who He was always by his side without seeking that kind of attention, but he didn’t know if this was because the child’s birth was different from Drako’s or because that’s how a child should act.
Sometimes he looked at Drako’s condition and wondered if he had any drastic changes in his appearance.
He had not forgotten that he promised Sarah that he would tell them about his life before reaching Vyndra. I wanted to do it, but I didn’t know it was a good time and even more so now that they were all adapting to the new changes.
His teacher had not contacted him these days either; he wondered what he was doing. He thought about asking but did not feel that they had such a close relationship to do that.
She decided to explore again what she could see when she activated her gift. It was strange in some way everything seemed to vibrate in some way. Sometimes I noticed small waves when he tried to expand his id to one of the small, almost invisible waves; if it were not because he made an effort to scrutinize his surroundings. He felt opposition a force perhaps from something that He was opposed to his idea of controlling it, and he couldn’t. He was so vehemently opposed that it made him mentally tired.
After a short break, he raised his hand and continued. It consumed too much energy every time he sent his intention to exert pressure to move it, he had stopped counting when he achieved a reaction, he saw something like a drop of oil moving on the water, he noticed as a small wave moved, I followed him.
At one point, he collided with another, and there was a chain reaction; he stopped paying attention to that particular area of space and turned his vision that was centered in the waves to see everything around you. Because what he had done was manifested as a gust of wind that blew some of the things in the direction his raised hand pointed.
The adrenaline he felt from it made him practice that the rest of the day. He regretted a bit that night when he had to clean up the mess he had made, but he felt victorious somehow.
I did not know that a gifted could do something like that, nor do I investigate beyond what they were taught at the center. After a long search on the network, he discovered that beyond some videos of the games between the Vyndra species, where he could see that they could make not only those gusts of winds. But also manipulate other elements, there was no detailed information about that, beyond the assumptions some users made about how they thought they did it.
Maybe it had to do with the new ways of perceiving reality that the doctor had told him that day, which also involved new ways of interacting with it. He thought that maybe this was also how it worked for creatures’ abilities.
Noelle was roaming the city these days, particularly in the area where the gifted could fight. They were originally intended so that the gifted could gain some experience, but now also as he had witnessed that night, they could fight the creatures.
I look mainly for these people with that mask. He could see some, but he did not see his brother again; he tried to follow some, but they managed to escape from her. They were aware of her from that day, so they frequently avoided her.
Not knowing what else to do or more precisely, it can be said that she did not want to decide what to do since she was still conflicted about what her brother had told her, she began to focus on her student, now that she had had the cocktail that it would prepare him for real improvement, he would start to reinforce his training, to get him used to his current body.
She could imagine that she would already be experiencing her new gains. She had barely managed to win a cocktail herself about two years before finishing her studies, so you had an idea of how excited he must have been. Thinking about it, she wondered if she could ever have the total enhancement cocktail but immediately decided that she would deal with it later …
So it was that the day before Tom returned to the center, she texted her to meet at the gym.
– And Drako? .- He asked when he only saw Tom carrying the little dragon
– He is still absent due to the evolution process. – He replied, offering Batze to take the little boy.
– All right. Well, today we are going to start as usual. And then I’ll give you an introduction to using your new ways of perceiving reality.
– okay!
As Noelle mentioned, physical training was the same as always. She told her that she would adjust it as she meets her new limits. When she finished her exercises, she began to talk about the changes she had due to the cocktail, just as Tom imagined that gust of wind that she could do was because of this “awakening” that she had.
The gift allows the user to manipulate objects as if they were parts of her body. In the case of the gifted of Vyndra, it is limited to those objects that are within its domain.
Mastery is an extension of the id of the gifted. That is why when control over objects is manifested, it is achieved based on impulses that can be instincts of self-protection.
With the training, it is sought that the gifted stop r reacting instinctively and master these so that they can control it consciously and unconsciously, and to be specific, what the gifted can handle is limited to the scale that can perceive and understand reality.
Now that new forms of perception have been ‘unlocked,’ control also expands. Therefore now she can almost at will bend the phenomena of any physical manifestation that can be observed and measured directly or indirectly. But they are limited to what the gifted can understand.
– So from now on, you will have to decide on which phenomena you want to have control and start studying them in-depth to be able to subdue them. – Noelle continued as he saw how his student was paying attention to everything he said. – Tell me, what was it you experienced these days?
– Good…
Tom raised his hand, and about ten seconds later, a gust of wind shot toward the ceiling.
– All right. – He said as he nodded towards Tom – you can explain what you did or how you think you did it.
– Mmmm…. How to say it.- she commented while looking at her hand and around her.- I focus on some small waves that surround everything and sent the idea of pressure so that they move to where I want when it is within my domain… and it tires a little do it.
– aha … well, it can be said that you did it instinctively indeed. The wind is air in movement, depending on the pressure, its intensity, speed, and strength will vary from a gust, breeze, and even cyclones or tornadoes. There are different types of winds too, but I think you can find out for yourself.
– Yes- he nodded forcefully
– With this, I think you understand the basics. We will end here; see you tomorrow.
