Melony Thompson
On the way home from the academy, there was a girl with slightly blonde, but mostly black hair falling to her shoulders. Her green eyes radiated despair again today. She went through what she went through every day at the academy. She was humiliated. She was vilified. That's why she didn't want to go to the academy. There were people at the academy who thought they were perfect.
They had a group because everyone had settled in their homes. Melony was always pushed around because she was always travelling alone. People looked down on her. This was not only because she was alone.
At the same time, while everyone else had reached the middle level of yellow lightning, Melony was still at the base level. That's why Melony was always challenged in dueling matches. And of course, they were overwhelmingly victorious. Every day her body was badly damaged. Although the healers healed the wounds on her body, the wounds in her heart could not be healed so simply.
The mind theft class was no different. Melony was bad at it too. She had focussed entirely on the feeling of excitement to improve herself, but since she was not good enough in this emotion, she could not pass the intermediate level. That was the main problem.
Still, she felt something related to excitement. Deep down, he felt that he shouldn't be sad. This was the main reason why he endured this pain every day.
Despite this, he still couldn't do anything. He did not have the ability and will to use this power.
You get lonely when you don't even understand yourself.
Nevertheless, he worked without giving up. Although he could not break through to the middle grade, he had reached the peak of the lightning base. He could make a breakthrough and enter the middle rank. This way, at least he would suffer less in fights.
When he came home, he threw his things on his bed and went to the living room. The room was an American kitchen.
Melony sat in front of the television and turned it on, thinking. How would she make a breakthrough? Where are my roommates? Why didn't they come? Who were they?
It had been three months since Melony had arrived here. Most of that time had been spent in lectures and studying the rules and people of this world. History and science. They had only been able to make progress for a month. At this time, everyone else had reached the intermediate stage, and one child had reached the intermediate stage in just one week. That was a really good statistic. Maybe now he was peaking.
That boy's name was Boyd, and it wasn't just that he could reach the intermediate stage in a week. He was also a rager, and his mates behind him were really great.
Normally there was one person of each emotion in each house, but in their house there were 2 extra ragers. Their favourite thing to do was to make fun of Melony. At least Boyd's friends liked to make fun of Melony. Boyd didn't even care about Melony.
The academy consisted of two separate districts. District 1 and District 2. The lower stratum was where Melony was. It's also where Kai and the others would come from. Zone 1...
This was where those who had learnt their powers would stay. Once a year, there was a Zone 1 tournament. The winner earned the right to move to Zone 2. Zone 2 was also full of opportunities for higher development. And people respected those from District 2.
Zone 2 was where those who knew their powers since birth and developed their powers at a young age stayed. It was difficult to compete with them on an equal footing. But there were always those who lacked talent. In the 2nd district, there were also those who had been training since birth but failed. In the 2nd district, tournaments were also held. The 10 people who always came last were sent to District 1.
Most of the people in District 2 were blue lightning. But there was nothing lower. Maybe there were even those who had passed to the green lightning.
Of course, what Melony said was only valid for the 1st graders. That is, 13-14 year olds. The 2nd, 3rd and higher grades were even stronger.
There were a lot of activities at school, but Melony was not very interested in participating in these activities, so she was not very knowledgeable about this subject.
There was also a tournament at the end of the year where students from academies all over the world competed, but information about this tournament was kept from the first years.
There was also a class called dueling. In this class, students were mastering close combat. In this, everyone challenged Melony because Melony was still at the base level and the other students had more arm strength than Melony. And Melony was getting beaten up in every fight.
The academy was 9 months long and the first years started in March. They were now in June. At the end of 9 months, there was the World Tournament. In the 6th month, the 1st district exam was held.
As Melony turned off the TV and stood up, she thought of meditating. They had taught them that in class. This way they could connect more with their emotions.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
Melony slowly sat on the floor and crossed her legs cross-legged. She had a hopeful look on her face as she closed her eyes.
Melony didn't even realise she had entered a meditative state.
The hour hand chased the minute hand and three hours passed. Melony didn't even realise it. It was the first time her meditation had lasted so long.
In that brief moment, she felt a wave of energy coming towards her from her heart.
Before Melony realised it, she had the smile of an excited child on her face.
As she felt a surge again, this time the surge came from somewhere deep. Deeper.
The fluctuation in Melony's heart and the fluctuation in the depths continued normally. Although both increased slowly, this increase was very small again.
Melony continued meditating for another 2 hours. At the end of 2 hours, the smile on her face grew wider with the idea that came to her mind. Even though what she was going to do was dangerous, maybe only this would allow her to rise faster than others. It would allow her to become a true genius.
Melony could feel the fluctuation in her heart with the fluctuation coming from deep within. Melony was a mind thief. It was a matter of the mind. What would happen if she wove these two things together with her mind? This was exactly what was going through her mind at that moment
Even though he was a total failure in mental strength, he was still going to try. It was too early to give up. Not this close.
"This is my only chance."
As Melony controlled her mental power and brought it closer to the deeper power, she suddenly realised that she couldn't bring it any closer.
Melony's mind couldn't go any deeper because of the intense feeling of excitement deep inside. Even though she forced herself to push further, she could not go any further.
As the feeling of excitement enveloped Melony's mental strength, Melony knew that the pressure of the feeling of excitement would explode her mind. After that, she would be completely insane. At least then she wouldn't hear them when they mocked and insulted her.
In her meditative state, the smile on her face disappeared and was replaced by the face of someone who had given up. He broke down and gave up. At that moment he realised the cost of his stupidity. It was too late to regret it. His only hope was not to see what would happen next. He was only seconds away from his mind exploding. He was living his last moments before falling off the cliff. Even if he left the meditation, he could not change what was happening now.
"It's over.'
"You had the power."
Suddenly he heard a voice. It was strong and mighty. She questioned it but did not understand what it meant.
Melony was startled when she heard the voice coming from the depths, but she couldn't move at all. The energy wouldn't let her.
"Why didn't you go on. You could have done it. You could not have given up. You're gonna let your family down? Why would you do that? Didn't you say you had the power but not the will? It might not work out that way. It's entirely up to you. Are you going to give up now that you've come this far?" Melony slowly lifted her head, gave a hopeful look towards her mind and spoke.
"Can I not give up?"
Melony's heart fluttered as a green light flashed in her eyes. She had reached the centre of the yellow lightning. It had just developed like that.
Melony wasn't interested in that right now, though.
Her voice sounded stronger than she thought as her mental power sparkled as if she had found a new light.
"I'm.... I'm not finished. I won't give up here." Melony reached the middle of the middle grade as the sense of excitement surrounding her was absorbed by her mental power.
Melony tried to withstand the intense feeling of excitement as her mental power rapidly approached the power deep within. Sweat was pouring down her body.
Three days passed as she continued to go deeper. Classes were not a problem. Since there were always those who were striving for breakthroughs, it was not compulsory to attend classes, but since it was more useful to go to classes, they often went to classes. Since no one cared about Melony, no one noticed her absence. Since the day of the duel was still a day away, it was normal that no one noticed.
Melony's body was completely covered in sweat as the intensity increased as she went deeper. While her clothes were sticking to her, her blonde hair was also on her shoulders.
For a man, Melony's current appearance was very arousing. Luckily, there was no man nearby.
Even the carpet was soaked with sweat. Despite this, Melony still had not reached the deepest power.
As Melony continued to go deeper, the intensity of excitement suddenly increased 10 times. Melony started to feel like she was being strangled when she was between the intense pressure.
As she tried to absorb the pressure, the veins in her whole body were exposed.
AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!!
Melony's scream reached the entire dormitory section as Melony continued to scream painfully. People were in the academy. Naturally, no one heard her screaming.
Melony didn't know how much longer she would sweat as her strength reached the peak of medium. By now the sweat was all over the kitchen. It was sticky and now there was a dirty black substance in it.
Yellow lightning reached its peak as the green light flashed in Melony's eyes once more. The feeling of excitement was just inches away from turning into full-blown lightning at that moment.
She had reached a place deep inside her where she could no longer even make a sound in pain. Before he could realise what had happened to his mind, Melony pulled him to her heart. Just before she merged it with her heart, she saw what she was holding in her mind. What he saw made his eyes open in surprise. Because the person in front of him was himself.
It was the same hair and the same eye. Her bright green eyes were awake and the lightning bolt of excitement in the upper right side was almost complete.
No matter how much Melony saw that it was her, she merged it with her heart and became one with it.
As soon as he merged with Melony's heart, the intense feeling of excitement also reached her heart. As he reached the centre of the summit, he had done what everyone had been trying to do for 3 months. He was now superior to the others.
As the pain increased at the same extraordinary rate, Melony could not even breathe anymore. At some point she thought she was going to die. Her life would end here. She wasn't a human being. She was becoming a ghost. A ghost that would curse whoever had put her in this power struggle. He would haunt her.
Melony felt something come out of her heart as a light flashed before her eyes. What came out of Melony's heart was the same thing. It was herself.
She was standing in the air. She had a holy look in her eyes. Her gaze alone was proof of her power. Melony looked at her with the tenderness of a mother in pain. She slowly brought her two fingers closer to Melony's head.
As soon as her fingers touched Melony's head, a flow of power flowed into her body and Melony moved to the peak of the peak of the yellow lightning. Now she had the power she had dreamed of so much. Maybe even stronger than Boyd.
"You don't need to go into meditation for this anymore. As my first and last advice to you, just work on your mental strength for a while. Work on your mind theft. You're too clumsy. " said the other Melony. Just as he was about to go into Melony again, Melony stopped him. She ignored her self-insult.
"Who are you?" she said gently. The person in front of him was giving peace to a person just with his gaze. And by touching his forehead, she had graduated him. If he spoke to her in a threatening way, that would be the end of him. He could understand that.
As the woman smiled, nothing showed that she was different from Melony. Everything was the same. Her smile, her look, everything. If Melony acted like her, she could be the same as the woman.
"I am you, actually.... I am your soul, to put it in a way you can understand." the woman said.
As Melony threw herself back in shock, the woman entered Melony's heart. She didn't let them talk any more.
Spirits could go outside, something only extraordinary people could do. The woman knew Melony didn't know this, but it would be best if Melony saw it as a dream. She shouldn't remember it and she shouldn't investigate it. That way she wouldn't get into trouble. Those people were omnipotent. And the chances of them being able to do such a thing were less than 0.01 per cent. Melony smiled as she felt how lucky she was for the first time in her life. This meant that the power of her lightning would increase at an extraordinary rate.
When she woke up, she first swore at the sweat she saw on the floor. Then she got up and looked at the clock.
Melony cursed her luck again when she saw that it was very late. She was going to clean at night. Nevertheless, when she realised the date, the smile on her face grew wider. Apparently she had worked really hard. And more importantly, there was an event tomorrow.
"I think it's time for me to get my revenge. "
