43 Kuros adventure (1/2)

(T/N: Warning of animal cruelty)

The artificial island, Ark, moves incredibly slowly and its location constantly changes. Without the central headquarter's lead, it would be near impossible to find Ark in the vast Pacific Ocean. It took an astronomical amount of money to build and there were many places which students were forbidden from entering.

”Ugh, my shoulder hurts.”

Kuro received an electric shock examination from Professor Grace. He had remained prone for a long period of time which made his whole body ache. Kuro lightly stretched his body.

'My psychic energy increased a lot in the recent days, so it must be good.'

His emotions took a big hit due to his psychic skills. Kuro had experienced rapid growth of his psychic powers two times. Once had been when he was in the deserted island, and the second was when Kijo had killed a cat. Kuro's psychic skills evolved exponentially due to the sudden burst of emotions.

”According to Professor Grace, my psychic skills seem to depend highly on my emotions….”

Kuro was very sensitive to his own emotions. In turn, his skill's up and down was just as erratic. To say it plainly, his skills were unstable.

Those who are emotionally detached like Han, had stable psychic powers. However, it's rare for one to sporadically manifest their hidden unique skills.

Military officials looked for stable soldiers like Han. This was also one of the main reasons that there were few training facilities made for females.

”We ended quicker than usual today. I have emptied all of today's training schedule.”

Kuro enjoyed today's laxness. He wasn't one to put pressure onto himself like Han.

He would purposely travel the longer route instead of the shortest for a light walk. He would observe the map on his data bracelet and travel the places he's never been to.

”Ah, Simon.”

Kuro discovered Simon in the airbeat training center. Simon was by himself practicing his control with the airbeat. Simon glanced at Kuro.

”What is it Kuro?”

Simon spoke without interest. But inside, Simon was greatly bothered by Kuro.

He was a similar type of psyker and they both had been named geniuses of their field. Simon had considered himself Kuro's rival.

'Humph, to be treated as equals to this black boy who didn't even receive proper psychic training. I refuse to acknowledge you.'

Simon hated to lose against Kuro in psychic skills. If Han had invited him into squad 13, he would have rejected just on the fact that Kuro was in the squad already. Then he wouldn't be able to step on Kuro as his opponent.

”Are you practicing with airbeats? How many are you controlling? One, two, three, four…. wow, you can control five at once. You're amazing.”

Simon widened his shoulders upon Kuro's compliment.

”The announcement of squad 13's opponent should be announced soon, don't worry I'll properly pummel you. The second year's strongest psyker is me!”

Simon spoke as if he had declared war. He forced himself and managed to control seven airbeats. This required intense focus and mind. He had to use telekinesis to strongly push the airbeats to maneuver them into complicated directions.

'I'm capable of this much, damn Kuro.'

Kuro who had been watching Simon from below took out some airbeats from the storage. These were luxury equipments so fingerprint recognition was required.

”It's been awhile since I practiced, I should also train a bit.”

Kuro took out some airbeats. He closed his eyes and focused. He imagined the airbeats floating from within the darkness.

Kuro had a great sense of imagination due to his sensitive emotions. He could perfectly draw images into his mind. This was the root method of commanding various psychic skills.

Wwoong!

Kuro's clothes fluttered from the wind. This was an air current that only appeared from highly skilled psykers. The moment they manifested their psychic energy, it would change the natural airflow. This was clear proof that his psychic talent had surpassed A rank.

Twitch, twitch.

Simon tried not to care, but Kuro's whole body emitted off psychic energies. Kuro's psychic energy was monstrous.

'When had Kuro grown this much…?'

Kuro's growth speed had been fast, but the previous Kuro had not been this strong.

'He's got more psychic energy than me.'

Kuro moved four airbeats simultaneously. He looked relaxed while moving four at the same time.

The reason Kuro didn't bother to control more, was simply because he didn't feel like it.

Kuro didn't have a sense of rivalry against Simon at all. He simply wanted to befriend him while controlling the airbeats together.

Simon clicked his tongue and packed his airbeats. He shortly glared towards Kuro and disappeared. Kuro who had been left hanging also put away his airbeats.

”Did I do something wrong? He looked angry.”

Kuro scratched his head while watching Simon walking away.

He continued walking and found himself at the storehouse. There were several helicopters on standby. The soldiers were in the middle of moving supplies into the storehouse.

'The job could be finished in an instant with psychic skills.'

Kuro stared toward the soldiers while thinking of various things. The soldiers who finished moving the supplies decided to take a break.

There was someone who was smoking, and there was another soldier who sat down eating a snack. The soldier took out jerky to eat. Cats began gathering around the soldier.

The cats pulled on the soldier's pants and managed to get a small piece of jerky to eat.

'The cats were my only friends in the orphanage.'

Kuro's personality was gentle by nature. He was naturally clumsy and could not fiercely change his personality. He was often called a dimwit.

He wasn't good at a single thing. The other children all bullied him because of his black skin in the orphanage. The cats which lurked around the orphanage were his only real friends.

'I'm also good at something now. I also have a friend.'

Kuro discovered one cat straying off into a different direction. The spotted cheese colored cat strayed.

”Ah.”

Kuro began to follow the cat unknowingly. The cat twisted and turned in complicated paths. Kuro moved through, following the cat, with nimble swiftness. He looked like an athlete. He was only weak compared to the children who had undergone the superhuman transformation procedure. Kuro was quite strong compared to an average athletic adult.

”I've come too far.”
