All the things that happened due to Saksham's powers might seem like a coincidence to normal people, but what Saksham didn't know was, his actions had unknowingly alerted some secret authorities.

"You said that there were some abnormalities in the Indirapuram region. So, what kind of abnormalities are we talking about here?" A middle-aged man asked.

"There was a never before seen kind of energy spike in Indirapuram, sir." A young man said, looking at his computer.

"What?! A never before seen kind of energy?! How can this be possible! Are you sure the sensors were working fine?" The middle-aged man exclaimed.

"Yes, sir. They are perfectly fine. Even I would have thought that there were some issues with them if there was only one instance of that spike. But in the duration of a few hours, there were 3 times when this spike appeared. And their durations were extremely small. If I hadn't been paying attention, I would have missed them too." The young man explained calmly.

"How sure are you that this is definitely a new kind of energy?"

"As soon as the sensors picked them up, I carefully studied it and compared it to the existing energy systems. It neither matched the Soul Energy nor the Elemental energy and even the residual energy of Warriors. And to be sure, I checked it 3 times. The result was the same."

"Is it those people making trouble here again?"

"We can't say that yet, sir. We don't know if it is them or not."

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man took out his phone and dialed a number. After not waiting for even a beep, the other side answered the call and asked respectfully, "How may I help, sir?"

"Investigate and gather data of all the foreigners who have come to India lawfully and those who entered under the curtain. And also those who came to Indirapuram or its nearby area. I want all the information on my desk in 10 minutes," ordered the middle-aged man.

"I'll report this at once, sir," the other side complied respectfully.

After saying this, the middle-aged man hung the phone and asked, "Do we know where these spikes happened?"

"No, sir. As I said, this happened in a very small duration. The sensors were only able to pick them up and give us a rough location. But it wasn't able to pinpoint it. We can be sure that these spikes appeared in Indirapuram. Where and how exactly? That is the job of the Investigation Department." The young man answered.

"Do we know if such spike has happened in the past too?"

"I am checking that currently, sir. If I get anything new, I will report it as soon as possible."

"Hmm...Alright. you have done a great job reporting this. If this is really a new kind of energy than what we currently know, then this world might change again. Let's hope this change is good for humanity." The middle-aged man said dignifiedly.

A week later

For an entire week, Saksham had been doing nothing except studying. He had been focusing on Physics and Chemistry as they were somewhat troublesome to deal with. So, seven days passed by unknowingly. In these 7 days, Saksham also didn't use his powers. And what he didn't expect was that the heavy feeling in his chest had dissipated a lot after these 7 days. Now, Saksham felt as if his body was very light and the difficulty in breathing that he had before was also gone. He was feeling very alive now.

After much careful thought and reading some novels, Saksham came to the conclusion that using his powers put a strain on his soul. The more he used his powers, the more the strain on his soul would be. And recalling that feeling as if he was going to die after continuously using his powers that day, he couldn't help but shudder. He was completely sure now that overuse of his powers could definitely kill him.

His plan now was to not use his powers for some more days and let his soul recover. He had also calculated the number of times he could use his powers before the strain on his soul kills him. Counting from the time he had gained this power till now, it has been 8 times. So, he could use his powers 8 times before he faints and maybe even dies. He didn't know, if he used his powers 9th time, would he still be conscious? And the thing is that he also didn't want to know because he was not going to put his life on the line to experiment that. So, he told himself continuously that 8 times was the limit to his powers after his soul recovers completely.
