“So, after the association said that you don’t have any power, how do you awaken your power?”
“At that time, I wish that someone would come and console me. at that moment, I can feel that the wind is hugging my body.”
Max then explained in detail what happened in the process of him awakening his wind power and what he did every day. Listening to Max’s explanation, in particular, Master Tenshi seemed to have found out something.
“Max, you still remember what I told you about the leaf-to-burger power, right?”
“Yes.”
“I think you also have something similar, but it is the other way around.”
“The other way around? What do you mean, Master Tenshi?”
“What I mean is, you awakened your wind power and believe that controlling the wind is your real ability while in fact, your real ability is something else that could command the wind. Not to mention you explained to me what happened in your battles so far. I believe your real ability is to control the white particle, and by chance, the white particle responded well to the wind, and that is the first power you awakened.”
After hearing Master Tenshi’s conclusion, Max starts to think that maybe what Master Tenshi said is correct. When he entered the enlightenment state on his battle with Giovanni, he felt something different. It wasn’t an increase in his ability to use wind power, but something inside the wind resonated with him and responded to his calling.
“This is why I hate the United Heroes association for categorizing power into four common elements of fire, wind, water, and earth. It is impressive enough for Kieran and Giovanni to have found their elements as theirs are quite unique. Now, shall we discover your real power?”
Hearing Master Tenshi’s invitation, Max didn’t hesitate at all to nods as this is something he wanted to know too.
Master Tenshi then summoned a water pillar in front of him and asked Max.
“Max, can you feel the white particle from the pillar?”
Max tried to concentrate, but he barely feels anything since he isn’t in the grey world mode. Max shakes his head, but Master Tenshi isn’t planning to give up just like that.
“Now, close your eyes and try to feel the white particle.”
With his eye closed, Max can be more focused on his senses. At first, he feels nothing, but he can vaguely feel the white particle after persisting for some time. Like finding a light inside the dark, suddenly, the number of white particles he can feel increases in number one by one. Finally, he feels like he was standing in the dark, but the white particles acting like fireflies around him.
The moment max opened his eyes again, he can see that he is already in the grey world, and the white particles are floating around him. More importantly, in the water pillar that Master Tenshi has summoned in front of him, he can see the white particles are connected to two blue particles.
Master Tenshi, as if realizing something has changed from Max, asking him a question.
“Can you see the white particle now?”
Max nods while he also explained what he see. “I can see a chain of white particles connected to two other blue particles. It continues like a centipede all around the water pillar.”
As if he has expected it, Master Tenshi nodded after hearing Max’s answer. “Okay, you said that you could control the white particles and could control it to separate itself from the blue particles before. Can you do it now in front of me?”
“I can try.”
Max then tried to command the white particle, and it followed his order without any difficulties. The moment Max pulled the white particle out of the chain that connects it to the blue particle, the water pillar starts to crumble and disappear.
While Max is pulling out the white particles from the blue ones, Master Tenshi could examine them perfectly.
“As I expected.”
“Master Tenshi, look, I managed to pull out the white particle.”
Master Tenshi nodded with a smiling face as his conjecture is correct. He has figured out Max’s real power.
“Yes. I see them clearly. I can also confidently say that your real ability isn’t wind elements.”
“really? Have you figure out my ability?”
“Yes. Just like how you can control the white particle, in fact, I can control the blue particles.”
“Eh?”
“Can you still see the particles now?”
Max nodded, and when he looked at it again, he saw the blue particles gathering on top of Master Tenshi’s palm. Two of the blue particles then grabbed white particles each and formed a chain. In the end, another water pillar is erected. Another group of blue particles also took other white particles not long after, but a flame is created this time.
“Now, do you believe in what I’m saying? If we’re fighting against each other, I believe it will be a tough fight as you could control the white particle to prevent it from getting near to my blue particle. Do you want to give it a try?”
Max nodded; then, when the blue particle neared the white particle, Max tried to make the white particle get away. After that, it was like a game of tug-o-war. Max can feel that the blue particles are trying to pull the white while he is trying to make the white particles flee from it.
“Okay, let’s stop it here. Now, don’t you want to know what is my ability and what is yours?”“o
Of course, Max is dying to know the real identity of his ability.
“Now, did you learn chemistry and the periodic table in school?”
“Yes. I learned about it.”
“Then, can you tell me what is the chemistry name of water?”
“Chemistry name? is it H20?”
“Then, do you know what particles you see on the water pillar right now?”
Max looked at it again, and he saw a long chain of one white particle being held by two blue particles. Suddenly, as if he entered another enlightenment event, Max realized everything. He looked at the smiling Master Tenshi. At long last, finally, he understands what is happening within the grey world and why Master Tenshi said that his actual ability isn’t wind elements. Suddenly, everything is clear for him.
