Chapter 27 - 27 - Pencil Eraser (1/2)

”Okay, who of the top five will want to participate?” The teacher asked.

Of the five people who came top 5 in the ranking, only Sona, Andy, Daphne and Greg wanted to participate. The other student was already satisfied with his own grade so he decided to stay out of this competition.

Daphne looked at Sona and Greg as if they were inferior people while Greg had a surprised look on his face as he looked at Sona. He didn't expect her to really be the person who was the first place in the ranking. After what they talked about today, he found out that she is a very interesting person and regretted not having tried to be her friend before, but he still had a doubt if it was her in the first place, because even not paying much attention to the other people in the class, he at least saw the ranking of the grades, and from time to time he saw her name among the last places.

For her to have hit such a high score, after what she demonstrated to him today, he does not believe that she has cheated. But the other students were not like that, everyone was surprised when they heard Daphne's accusation however they were only thinking about the possibility that this was true but didn't consider that the accusations might be false. So besides Andy, everyone was looking at her suspiciously, wanting to know what her answers would be like.

”Okay, now that all four participants are here, we're going to put four tables, one facing the other and each will sit in the chair at each table. So you can police yourselves and make sure nothing goes wrong.” The teacher suggested.

Sona was sitting in a chair facing the class, while on her left side was Greg, on her right was Andy and facing it was Daphne with her nose up.

”Everybody prepares your papers, here's your first question. Which mountaineer and his Sherpa became the first men to conquer Mount Everest on May 29, 1953?”

Quickly, the students began to think about the answer. Trying to remember this man's name, some students who weren't participating took their cell phones to search on Google for his name.

While the other three tried to remember his name, Sona had already begun to write. In a few seconds, her paper had a beautiful handwriting saying the man's name. Remembering that kind of general knowledge was easy for her.

Seeing that she had already written the answer, the other three participants tried to concentrate on finding the answer, but one of them was having a lot of trouble recalling.

Daphne couldn't think of anything, she couldn't even remember where Mount Everest was, not to mention say who climbed it. What the fuċk is going on? ”I can't remember anything!” She thought while she was despairing.

What no one saw was that Sona was rhythmically tapping the pencil rubber on the underside of the table she was using. This rhythmic beat was using some of her energy, as these beats were being used to disrupt Daphne's thinking process.

With a small amount of Energy, Sona was sending small sound waves directed solely and exclusively to Daphne. This type of sound wave reacted directly to the brain waves that Daphne's brain used for memory, making the process of searching for Daphne's information a mess and not allowing her to think correctly.
