Chapter 5 Earthquakes?
The opening ceremony was over, and Ivan was a little disappointed.
Jessica was very excited, and she couldn't get enough of it, and she kept discussing Angel's superpowers with Ivan as she walked to the school building.
"He's not very powerful, with a guy like him, the new semester must be fun, right?"
"Hmm..."
"Fan, I'm dreaming of superpowers, and if I had superpowers, I could do a lot of things, like..."
Jessica's gaze darkened for a moment.
"If I had superpowers, my parents wouldn't have died."
As she spoke, her pace slowed.
Ivan knew that when she said mom and dad, she meant her biological parents.
"It's okay, the world is developing rapidly in science and technology, maybe there will be technology that can bring people back to life."
Ivan said stiffly comfortingly.
"Hmm..."
After the two of them chose the class schedule, except for eating in the cafeteria at noon, they ran classes all day.
In the afternoon, school was over.
Ivan returned to his dorm, his dorm was a double room, two beds, and the other roommate had not yet returned, Ivan was lying on the bed, recalling Angel who stood on the stage at the opening ceremony to perform superpowers.
I also remembered what Angel said, that is, after eight years of continuous hard work and practice, he has become stronger and stronger.
Superpowers, can you practice to get stronger and stronger?
Thinking of this, Ivan decided to use his spare time to practice and break through like Angel.
"Practice first... The object bends it. ”
Sit up and grab the pen that sits on the bedside table.
Ivan had just held it in his hand, and before he could look at it, the pen was bent 150 degrees.
"No, I don't feel like I'm practicing at all... I had barely even crossed my mind before my goal was accomplished. Ivan muttered, "Can this really make you stronger?" ”
The next thought flashed, and the bedside table suddenly floated up and slammed straight into the ceiling.
Looking blankly at the scattered pieces of wood and nails, Ivan stretched out his hand and burst out with azure light, and the scattered pieces of the ground were reassembled into their original state, but compared to the beginning, there were faint cracks and cracks.
"No, whether it's floating or bending objects, I can't go all out, it's all out before I have time to exert force, so I can't practice at all."
With that, he put the crooked pen back on the bedside table and collapsed on the bed to think again.
"But how do you get stronger?"
Ivan remembered Angel's courage to give it all on stage, and the pen gradually became bent under his hysterical volatilization.
I remembered that when I was at home, I always bent the iron spoon unconsciously.
While Angel was thinking about how to bend objects faster, Ivan was thinking about the opposite... Try to keep it from overflowing.
"Don't I need to be stronger?"
"No way, I haven't worked out yet... Angel has been exercising for eight years. ”
Lying on the bed, Ivan thought about it, a little sleepy, and gradually fell asleep.
...
"Hey! How did my pen bend! ”
In my sleep, I faintly heard a faint voice.
"Boy! Did you do it! ”
"Whew... Phew..."Ivan continued to fall asleep.
"Okay, I'll settle accounts with you when you wake up."
In the middle of the night, Ivan woke up and got up.
He saw his only roommate sleeping on the bed across from him, a fat man, who was snoring loudly.
I took out my phone and looked at the time...
"It's over, I slept during the day, and I couldn't sleep at night."
Jessica must have slept at this time, and Ivan decided to go outside and walk around at will.
Looking down from the dormitory window, the campus was silent and empty, and since it was the fifth floor, Ivan had a vision of himself falling and breaking a bone in his mind.
He's a bit afraid of heights.
This is one of the reasons why he was so nervous when he controlled the house to land in the first place.
Now he decided to overcome.
"Isn't overcoming fear of heights the same as becoming stronger?"
Thinking like this, he used his mind to make himself float, and Ivan, who was covered in azure light, jumped from the fifth floor and fell to the ground like a paper man.
In the dark night, the blue light was breathtakingly beautiful.
"Whew..."
In the process of landing, like every person who is afraid of heights, Ivan's mind kept flashing through his mind what if his mind failed, and he would break a few bones if he fell...
It's a pity that none of that happened, his psionic energy is too powerful, and if he doesn't deliberately suppress it, it's hard to fail.
"Take a walk outside the campus and buy something good."
The campus is highly walled and has an electrical grid, which is generally safe and secure to provide a sense of security for the students living on campus.
Ivan pointed two fingers at the wall, and in a flash, the blue light shattered the stone wall, completely blocking the dust raised under the protection of the psionic barrier.
After walking out, Ivan had another idea to reassemble the stone wall.
The street lights were dim, Ivan walked far and didn't find a supermarket in business, but he found one, and it was too late, except for this bar Ivan didn't find any good places to go, and walked in.
Unlike the noisy environment that Ivan had imagined, there were only a few drunk youths at the round table, and a bald black man sitting at the bar chatting with the boss.
"Oh, hey, kid, hello." The bar owner, a white man, discovers Ivan's presence.
When the black man heard this, he also looked back at Ivan with a cold gaze.
He has a burly physique, and with a beastly gaze, it gives people a sense of psychological oppression.
"Get out, this is the bar." The black man said coldly.
"Why?"
"Because you're underage." The black man said, picking up his glass and draining the contents of the wine.
"So are you the boss or is he the boss?"
"He is." The black man replied coldly.
"Hahaha." The boss listened to the conversation between the two and laughed, "You're a student in the neighborhood, it's midnight, but it doesn't matter, as long as you don't drink, it's very welcome to stay with me for a while." ”
"Do you have soda?"
"Yes."
Sitting at the bar drinking soda, Ivan learned from the chat between the black man and the boss that the black man's name was Carl Lucas, a gangster in the neighborhood, who looked very old, but was actually only twenty-one years old.
But Ivan is not afraid, if the other party is looking for trouble, he is lacking a person to practice.
Isn't the so-called getting stronger, the best way to do it?
Just as Ivan was trying to fight with his superpowers, the black man suddenly raised his big hand and grabbed Ivan.
The hand came quickly, quickly grabbing Ivan's shoulder.
"Boy, you..."
The blue light flashes in 0.03 seconds at a speed that cannot be captured by the naked eye, and then the sound of 'ping-pong' and 'ping' is heard continuously.
The wine glasses on the bar were crooked, the bottles on the cabinets were falling to the ground, the chairs and stools were the same, and the ground shook so violently that the world seemed to tilt at this moment.
"What the hell!"
The black man was unsteady and quickly held on to the bar, and then the shaking of the ground became smaller and smaller, and it calmed down.
"Was there an earthquake?" The boss was pale.
