Astrid felt a growing sense of dread as she researched Saiya’s peculiarities. She had stumbled upon some disturbing facts that made her question Saiya’s true nature and intentions. Her suspicions were mounting, and she felt compelled to seek answers, or at least opinions from those who might have insights. One person who often delved into the mysteries of the supernatural was Leonidas.
She knocked on the door of the lab one afternoon, hoping to find him there. He opened the door shortly, looking slightly surprised to see her.
“Astrid, what brings you here?” he asked, his curiosity piqued.
Astrid didn’t beat around the bush. She voiced her concerns without hesitation. “Leonidas, I need to talk to you about Saiya. I’ve been doing some digging, and I’ve found some alarming information. I think we should expose her to the school council and get her expelled.”
Leonidas raised an eyebrow and stepped back, inviting her into the lab. He shook his head at her suggestion. “Astrid, that’s a very harsh and hasty decision. Besides, I think Saiya’s abilities are worth investigating, not condemning.”
He sat down and gestured for Astrid to do the same. He scanned the lab, which was filled with various gadgets and experiments. He pointed to a device that looked like a pair of goggles. “You see, Touched individuals have their auras unlocked, which could explain her anomalies.”
Astrid looked puzzled. “Auras? What are you talking about?”

Leonidas leaned forward, explaining, “Aura is the energy that surrounds the body and can be controlled to enhance one’s abilities or create special effects. It’s divided into six categories: strength, speed, shape, summon, control, and unique. Strength is the use of aura to increase one’s physical power or objects. Speed is the use of aura to increase one’s movement or reactions. Shape is the use of aura to change the form or properties of one’s energy, such as blades, whips, or electricity. Summon is the use of aura to create objects or beings out of thin air, such as weapons, animals, or clones. Control is the use of aura to manipulate objects or living beings, such as puppets, animals, or people. Unique is the use of aura to perform abilities that do not fit into any other category, such as stealing others’ powers, predicting the future, or altering reality.”
Astrid absorbed this information, her skepticism giving way to curiosity. “So, you think Saiya might have one of these unique auras?”
Leonidas nodded. “It’s a possibility. And if that’s the case, she could hold incredible powers that we’ve yet to comprehend. Instead of rushing to judgment, we should be focusing on understanding her better.”
Meanwhile, in the school gymnasium, Ember and Aster were engaged in a high-intensity game of laser tag. Their heightened senses and reflexes made them formidable opponents. It didn’t take long for their classmates to realize that the twins possessed a unique advantage.
Soon, Ember and Aster were appointed as team captains, dividing the class into boys versus girls. Their extraordinary abilities allowed them to sense when someone was preparing an ambush or lying in wait to snipe them. What started as a straightforward game quickly evolved into a thrilling battle of wits.
The match became a strategic showdown, with Ember and Aster mapping out the locations of their teammates and devising clever tactics. However, their shared abilities made it challenging to gain the upper hand, turning the game into an intense cat-and-mouse chase.
Ember exhibited remarkable agility, darting around obstacles and dodging laser beams with ease. She used her speed to boost her movements and reactions, making her hard to catch or hit.
Aster displayed astonishing precision, utilizing his strength to enhance his accuracy and power. He would distract his enemies with feints or taunts before quickly flanking them or sniping them from afar.
In the end, the twins stood as the last two contestants in the gymnasium. Their classmates watched in awe as the siblings battled it out like seasoned warriors. Unfortunately, the school day concluded before a winner could be declared, leaving their classmates eagerly anticipating a rematch that was sure to come.
