I quickly got down for breakfast which was slowly being served.
"You are early today David!" Our chef announced in surprise.
"Yeah, I decided to work hard starting today in school," I replied like a kid excited for his 2nd year in primary school.
"Well, I hope you do. You are going to enter year 2 of primary school so work hard like you did last year." Ms Della cheered me.
I smiled and quickly ate my breakfast and made my way towards the school on my own just as the others slowly got down.
I acted like I was excited.
Obviously, there was no need for monitoring as the school was right opposite our residence home and the guard posted outside along with teacher outside the school will make sure I went to school and nowhere else.
There was at least 1 more hour before school started, so instead of going to my new class, I made my way towards the school library.
I knew that my 'Rooted potato' is able to transfer everything it read to me. But I wanted to try another experiment.
I picked a book about some geology for kids from the year 6 students' section.
'Read and understand the information on this book.' I ordered my ability.
Soon I was kicked to the back of my mind and felt a new understanding of rocks and geology flowing in from the book.
As I took control back of my body, I saw that I still retained all the knowledge in the book as I had memorised it. Not just that I felt I understood everything I read in that book and this feeling didn't disappear.
'This is fucking OP!' I nearly cried in excitement.
I finished reading the book and tried it with other books to see it was the same result.
I now knew what to do with this ability.
I made my way towards my new class just before the bell rang.
As expected, the class was boring with the basic maths, English taught all over again.
Before I could fall asleep in class, I ordered my ability.
Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.
'Attend the class normally as David would usually do.' I wanted to see if this would work. If I felt anything was wrong I will take control immediately.
The rest of the day I carefully observed as my ability lived my life in the school like I usually would, emulating my emotions and everything as a kid of 6 years old usually would in a situation.
This ability was terrifyingly OP if used in the right way.
After school, I came back home to see our matron was there.
"Ms Connie, when can we go to the library?" I asked the woman in the late '30s surprising her.
"Library? Why do you want to go there, David?" She asked me.
"I want to start reading some book," I told her simply.
"Well, I can take you to the library during our town outing on the weekend, if that is alright?" She asked back.
"Thank you, Ms Connie." I thanked her before running back in excitement.
'Now to test my 2nd ability.' I smirked after changing my clothes and coming downstairs.
I decided to start by doing some flexible exercise.
'Do some flexible exercise for 30 minutes.' I ordered my ability.
Soon my body started doing a series of exercise ranging from lunges to attempting splits.
Everyone who passed the room stared at me oddly, but I ignored it as I analysed how my ability knew how to do these exercises.
The only time I did these exercises was when I practised martial arts for 2 years in my past life in my childhood. So, it seems my ability is able to draw from information from my past memory as well.
After these exercises, I took control of my body and walked out to the back garden.
"David do you want to play tag?" My roommate Tom asked me as he was being chased by another kid.
"Sure," I said.
I played tag for 15 minutes before our Ms Della called us back for tea. After tea, I went back to my room.
Tom had decided to go back and play for some more time which gave me the perfect chance to do more testing.
'Do 10 seconds of plank, then 5 push-ups, 5 sit-ups and 10 seconds of high knee.' I ordered.
My body started doing the following exercise within 2 minutes.
However, as soon as I came back to take control of my body, I felt tired.
I didn't stop there but ordered my body to do more reps of the same exercise.
I started to see that I was starting to sweat very heavily after the 2nd rep of those same exercises.
I stopped myself and ordered to go back to bed to sleep and rest for 1 hour just as I checked the time to see it was 5:30 pm.
Soon my body closed my eyes and entered sleep as I was surrounded by darkness and I too entered sleep.
My eyes opened on its own letting me see the world once more.
I took control of my body to feel sore pain throughout my whole body.
I checked the time to see it was exactly 6:30 pm.
I quickly went to get some water feeling dehydrated.
I drank almost 4 glasses of water before I stopped.
Tom and others were downstairs watching T.V or playing with other kids.
I repeated this loop once more and woke up just 15 minutes before it was 8 pm.
I went downstairs to have some dinner.
Tom asked me where I was, and I just replied I was sleeping upstairs after I was tired. He nodded and carried on eating his food while watching TV.
I ate everything on my plate, but I knew I would need more if I was to carry on with my exercise. However, everyone ate their meat and only left behind their vegetable serving.
So, I just took the vegetable serving as my extra portion and ate till I was full.
The other kids looked at me disgustingly as they saw me eat the vegetable.
Even I got sick of the taste of vegetables and had to order my ability to start eating vegetables till I was full.
