In the next class, it was PE which in my elementary days, I thought was Gym. But now that the teacher/coach, Mr. Grym has made a clear division that PE would be us playing sports or circling around the gymnasium in a series of different exercises, and Gym would be us actually going to the school's gym where all the lifting and cardio equipments are.

Today, we're having the latter. Mr. Grym had let us do our own thing as he sat there in the corner where a desk is, probably marking yesterday's test about what the different types of equipment are in here. A test in which the only equipment I probably got correct was the dumbells and treadmill but everybody knows what the dumbells and treadmills are so that doesn't really show that I tried which Mr. Grym would probably chew me out for later.

I was too preoccupied with the new game I bought and didn't even glance at the textbook once. And I was also too dumb to realize my newly found ability earlier so I could use it as I did in Math. On second thought, maybe I should tone it down a bit, if I use it like that again, I'm afraid Mr. Grym would overreact as well and everybody would see a pattern and point toward me.

Anyways, standing in front of racks filled with the only other equipment I know the name of, the dumbbells, my right hand tried lifting the biggest one which felt like the the size of my entire torso with a 120 label on it.

And with a small "Ha!" my arm was pulled towards it instead and the muscle fibers on my upper arms felt like they just snapped which hurt quite a bit but it's a good thing it worked when I thought it to be instantly healed before I could feel any more pain.

The pain is gone but the small psychological trauma was already there as I rubbed the muscles where it was hurt as if to also psychologically sooth it. Dumb dumbbell, why are you so dense and heavy?

"Hahaha, Lex, that's a hundred twenty pounds, how could your arms no thicker than a twig ever lift it?" A familiar voice laughs mockingly behind me. I turned around and saw a glasses-wearing friend who had the face of a geek but had the body of the football team's star athlete.

He's called Nathan and he's lying diagonally on a bench lifting a dumbbell in each hand with a label of 80 on them.

"Well if it isn't the high and mighty weeboo, training for the apocalyptic scenario you've envisioned with the protein I graciously gave you earlier, are we?" I said sarcastically in response.

"Yeah, you say that now but don't come asking for my help when shit really hits the fan later, hehehe," John said as he effortlessly pumped the dumbbells up and down. Well, there goes the delusional weeb for you, always so dedicated to the craft of his delusions.

"Hahaha, keep dreaming, after all..." I said then took a second to go near him and put my hands on the bench he was sitting on while he looked at me puzzled, "You're too weak."

Then I effortlessly lifted the bench along with him and above my head.

"A-A-AYOOOO!? WHAT THE FUCK!? HOW!?!?!"

John almost hit his head with the ceiling as the dumbbells on his hand fell on the mat with a great thud, his mind was in no doubt now spiraling into chaos as he witnessed the scene before him with eyes he now doubted as functioning as intended he darted around in absolute confusion, possibly thinking that he really was dreaming as reality could not have agreed to the play of the scene before him. A scene of my own machinism.

The people who heard him also pointed their eyes here and when they all saw me, it seemed like they couldn't help but also have the same reactions as John as I felt like their eyes just popped out of their sockets and cartoonishly came back.

Even Mr. Grym was the same as he rubbed his eyes and blinked very rapidly, then he quickly took out a folder from the drawers under his desk which I believe would be my stats as he darted between it and the dumbbells thrice the size of my head I was carrying above my head rather easily without sweating even a drop.

Needless to say, another class once again passed rather eventfully with my classmates having a newfound respect for me and fat Mr. Grym running out of the room like he had just seen the devil, seemingly driven to madness as he kept muttering the same thing that Mr. Richards did when he also walked out.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

Hmm, so a test isn't just the only way to freak out another teacher huh? That's the second one. Uh-oh, the school might start seeing a pattern that I so fear they would and call me to the principal's office.

The class ended with me just going around doing cardio which I found out I could now do endlessly as I made myself inexhaustible as I ran on the treadmill at a decent speed till the end of the class without a single sweet on me.

I didn't get even halfway toward the classroom of the most fascinating subject, that is Science when the PA suddenly announced that I needed my presence in the staff office...

But stop halfway through.

And the announcer then said "Actually, never mind.'"

As if in response to my thoughts rejecting the idea.

Ohhh shieet, I think I'm now more certain than ever what kind of power I'd actually awaken. So it's like that huh? Shit, if it's really like that, then this is getting real interesting.

If my years of experience reading comics, watching superhero movies, sci-fi shows, and the various content from the land of the rising sun is anything to go by, then shit, I might have just hit the jackpot.

And so, more eager than ever to do even more daring experiments, I switched textbooks and notebooks in the lockers and trudged through the hallways with people looking at me a little differently. News sure does spread fast.

But ignoring the stares, I headed for the last class of the day, which is Science with some level of excitement as today Ms. Haller said she'd be teaching us about the different manifestations of energies which light and electricity are only two of.

Arriving at the front rightmost corner table beside the windows and putting down my books on the table, "Wassup Ethea? Other than the ceiling, of course." I gave the usual greeting to my seatmate.

Ethea has jet-black hair that is all pretty doll-like—smooth and untangled in pair to he onyx eyes which are like black holes pulling you into their abyss as they stare back at you which all contrasts her alabastar skin that is void of any imperfection. And with a face that is the perfect mix of cute and pretty, I think she's the prettiest girl I've ever met.

And by my wording and my long monologue admiring her appearance, I may as well also admit that I may have a bit of a crush on her.

"The sky and the vast Universe beyond, what else could there be?" Ethea responded with her usual soft yet sarcastic tone which if was not said by her cute little rosy lips and melodious voice, would have sounded quite annoying.

I just smiled in response as I sat down next to her and opened the textbook which should have taken me to a random page according to probability but it did not. Instead, it took me to today's lesson evoking a raise of eyebrow from the cute face of the girl beside who I was discreetly watching for the reaction of. She didn't say anything, however, probably thinking it was but a coincidence.

It was then that Ms. Haller arrived and started the class. Unlike the previous classes, the Science class was relatively uneventful as all eyes seemed to be on me after earlier's farce so I couldn't really do anything big.

I did however make use of my ability to command the pencil as it took valuable notes for me as it guided my hands with little physical effort and no mental effort on my part as I could now put my focus to other things other than taking notes.

You know, like imagining all the things I could do by manipulating these different types of energies Ms. Haller is talking about... or furtively glancing at Ethea's side profile while she takes notes.

By the end of the class, I had already learned a bit about all the common energies in the environment and had more than five pages of notes which well explained the concepts in the simplest possible way which was very helpful since I wanted to know all about the different types of energy after hearing all the fascinating facts about them from Ms. Haller.

Like, did you know, that without kinetic energy, nothing in the Universe moves? From the rotation of the Earth around the Sun to all the little microscopic particles moving around to make everything possible. Without kinetic energy, everything would not move and nothing would be done. Or maybe it was the other way around?

"Hey, E. What do you think: Is movement a product of kinetic energy? Or is kinetic energy a product of movement?" Intrigued by the question in my head, I asked Ethea who was in the cleaning duties with me as she was wiping the whiteboards.

Without even glancing at me who was wiping the tables, she unhurriedly and matter-factly answered, "It's a continuum of course, fundamentally interconnected concepts, two sides of the same coin; you can't have one without the other."

"Hmn, why didn't I think of that? And that's why your name is Ethea since you have all the e-deas~! Get it? Hehe," I said jokingly, I could have gone to the same conclusion eventually, but I guess asking someone who already knew would still be faster, you know, like Ethea or reality.

Anyway, after hearing me, Ethea didn't say anything in response and just raised a brow then suddenly grinned for some reason and let out a a small chuckle cryptically said, "If only you know..."

I just found her expression cute tho', quite cute in fact. So I gave her what must have been a smile directed at cute critters, which did not seem to be an expression she was fond of seeing as her cute face slightly pouted and she turned away. Needless to say, my smile just became a bit wider.

After that, we chatted a bit more about some random scientific things and quickly wrapped up and headed on our own way home, I rode the bus, and her 'assistant', or more aptly, 'maid' driving an extended white Rolls Royce probably picked her up like always. Yeah, her family's filthy rich, probably one of those hidden families with generational wealth.

When I got home, Ein was already there early and we played video games together so I couldn't really do further experiments. On another note, I did take out a whole COD lobby, after doing as I did to my physical strength earlier in the day to my reflex and eye-hand coordination.

Eventually, Mom and Dad arrived home as well, and we ate dinner together as a family for the first time in weeks considering the busy schedule of a doctor and a police officer. The whole time I was waiting for any one of them to talk about today's events at school fearing that a school staff called them which would be a bit of a hassle to explain, but it seems my 'charm' works its magic indeed.

After eating dinner, we watched a family movie called Avengers: Endgame and I think got to the part where Iron Man got the infinity stones from Thanos and was about to snap before I fell asleep on the sofa. By the time I woke up, it was already the next day.
