Episode 18 – Distance Test (Part 1) (1/2)

“First things first, try transhts to me” Elaru’s lips never moved, yet her voice reverberated inside Kiel’s head with perfect clarity He would probably be able to hear her loud and clear even if they were in a noisy environnal than sound

She had picked up the whole telepathy business pretty easily As if she had previous experience with it Or perhaps telepathy wasn’t that hard at all, maybe it should come naturally to them? He wouldn’t know since he had never tried it before

“I’ll give it a shot” Kiel thought up a response “Can you hear me?”

Elaru’s stare didn’t change She didn’t respond, so he assumed that she didn’t hear him

Thinking of a response to her question wasn’t enough? Of course, it wasn’t Otherwise, she would be able to hear his thoughts and words that weren’t intended for her to hear His thoughts should be private while they remained inside his mind Therefore, perhaps he needed to push thehts were like a paperit, he would need to scrunch it up into a ball and throw it at Elaru (it would be perfect if he ed to smack her in the face with it)

Kiel concentrated all his senses on Elaru He layered his Mind on top of hers like a blanket

This tiined telling her that, he wanted her to hear it He concentrated on theit out, he willed it totowards her

This sensation was very familiar to him

And just on cue, Elaru chuckled “Hearing someone else’s voice inside my head feels so weird In a cool way!”

Kiel’s eyes narrowed in doubt Isn’t this… too simple?

He had done so like this a thousand ti to silently coe All those ti at thelare at so them names All those ti her for so

He’d do it just like that, exactly like that!

Soot this feeling of being watched and he could alhts towards him

People attributed these feelings to their Mind picking up on the intent hidden in the aura But what if the things that he had been picking up were stray thoughts? Thoughts that he could feel but couldn’t understand?

Kiel’s eyes brightened, hisout into many different possibilities Could it be that everyone had an innate ability to send thoughts to others, but the probleht on a different wavelength, and could only understand the thoughts that were on the sath?

Right! The reason why people couldn’t feel Minds of others was exactly because they were on a different wavelength! It was as if each Mind existed in a di to see or touch the Minds of others

Their di on top of each other like sheets of paper Others were there, within reach, soht even feel thee

The reason why he could feel and communicate with Elaru’s mind was that the Aetherneal bond connected their minds But what did that mean?

Was the bond between theuether?

Or was it that their wavelengths were now one and the same? Was it that the Aetherneal bond e into one? Did their two Minds exist in the same world which would naturally make them able to communicate with each other?

Kiel’s eyes glittered If their Minds were only connected by a hole, he would be able to send thoughts, but he wouldn’t be able to feel her Mind this clearly He could feel every twitch andit Which means it was very likely that their Minds truly did exist on the sath

Kiel’s pupils suddenly shrunk as a dangerous idea appeared

If their minds could touch and interact with each other… would it be possible to… invade her Mind? Would it be possible for hihts that were hidden deep inside? The thoughts she wasn’t projecting outside towards him?

Would he be able to read her mind?

His heart skipped a beat

If he could do it, then she should be able to do the same!

The idea terrified his to be laid out in the open For everything, he tried desperately to hide and disguise to be found by someone else He would be stripped naked of all his ar used and manipulated

Each of his ehts and mistakes, all the infor would be exposed! The ile moment

Would she care about it being ethically wrong, for it being a serious invasion of privacy?
