Chapitre 24: True Appearance

The arrival of the student council president had startled Feng Ye. He immediately places all his attention and observers her. Akeno has short purple hair with a mysterious aura around her. Her pupils are a brown color and she seems to be also of Japanese descent. Something does seem off as her presence doesn't seem to be as imposing as he had expected.

Naturally, in Feng Ye's opinion, a person who wields such power should be quite powerful.

Akeno, after hearing Feng Ye's greeting, nods. The next moment everything changed.

A very strong force seemed to start accumulating towards Akeno. From Feng Ye's Spiritual Awareness ability, he could notice that mysterious granules of natural energy seem to be building up and collecting in the spot where she sits. Her presence immediately became imposing as though her strength and power was boundless.

Her pupils, then changes to a silver colour. Feng Ye felt as though his entire being was being analyzed on a microscope. He felt as though all his secrets were out in the open to be looked upon.

Monstrous Ability is the only term that Feng Ye could currently think of to describe her. This exchange only lasted several seconds and Akeno's pupil colour changed back to her original brown. Her imposing manner also was restrained immediately as soon as her pupils had reverted back.

Akeno smiles. "Sorry, I had to confirm myself. You are quite interesting, Feng-kun."

Nearby, Kotori Miku didn't seem fazed as though she had already knew that the student council president had such ability. This made Feng Ye had some slight suspicions in regards to the purpose of this meeting.

"You are very formidable. Rank S Esper?" Feng Ye exploratorily asks while not expecting to gain much information.

"Have you heard of magic? This pupil ability isn't apart of the esper ability category. Although, I will tell you that I am indeed an esper, what you have witnessed is in fact not an esper ability." Akeno smiles and replies.

"Why are you willing telling me this?" Feng Ye asks while obviously being suspicious.

"I believe that we may have a lot more occurring together, thus, deemed it appropriate for you to understand. By the way, may I ask why you have chose to conceal your true appearance with your abilities?" Akeno inquiries.

Kotori who is nearby is startled when she hears Akeno's words. She then takes a closer look at Feng Ye.

"..." Feng Ye is actually pretty nervous inside now.

"%#^! Even though Wandering Asura is level 2, it can be looked up easily by this big boss character… " He reasons in his mind.

To be honest, Feng Ye wouldn't have ever thought of the possibility of suddenly meeting this high level character here. He takes a glance at Kotori Miku nearby.

His mind goes into analytical hyperdrive mode. "Kotori probably has some close relations with the student council president. As Kotori is my roommate and judging from my interactions with her the past few days, she doesn't seem to have ill intentions. By her relations, the student council president shouldn't have ill intentions towards me for now. With her prowess, she could easily suffocate me to death using her stare and formidable imposing manner. She also is probably rank S with a currently unknown esper ability and killing an ant like myself is only a convenient matter.

I won't put my trust easily into these two, but it seems at this point, I have been seen through so I need to coordinate."

Feng Ye confidently looks at Akeno in the eyes. "You are right, I have been using my ability to hide my true appearance. The truth is, I am rather unconfident and insecure about my appearance. What if all the surroundings get scared away?"

Feng Ye exhibits a pitiful self ridiculing expression.

Akeno nods and laughs. "Okay. Although I disagree with your views, but each to themselves."

This reply also startles him.

"It seems that you were able to already able to take a look at my true appearance.." Feng Ye sighs.

"Yes, although I do not know your true reasons in masking your appearance, I would like to caution you that eventually, you will need to expose your true features. Espers have a variety of methods and variety of different abilities which would cause you unnecessary trouble." Akeno suggests.

Kotori nearby interrupts. "Feng-kun, are you really hiding your true appearance? If it's an issue of status, Akeno-san can probably help you file a new one."

Feng Ye sighs. It seems that today, he will probably need to expose his true features in this world. He knows that getting a status and file for his original appearance is necessary and this is the opportunity to do so. However, naturally, in the world there is no free lunch. Feng Ye immediately realizes that his status can be used as a bargaining chip for a favour or request.

"Let's not speak some idle code words, Akeno-san. What would you want in return for helping me create a new file and status?" Feng Ye ignores Kotori and inquiries towards Akeno.

"Well, you are really a straight forward gentleman. I do not mind helping you with this task, however, we do have a favor to ask of you. I'm sure Kotori can fill in the details." Akeno indicates toward the nearby Kotori.

Kotori clears her throat. "Well, Feng Ye, from the secondary assessment we noticed that you had an esper ability in the mental domain. We were wondering if you would be willing to attempt to help recover my sister?"

"Recover your sister?" Feng Ye is surprised.

"Yes.. my sister.. Well, she is a very formidable esper. Unfortunately, due to her ability, she was the target of the winning over of many influences including the board of directors. She had joined the Esper Enhancement Program, however, unfortunately, after realizing the true intentions and ambitions she couldn't back out.

She was forcibly detained to continue as an experimental subject in order to research the limitations of esper development. These tests include external shock, pressure, and the elements in order to exponentially increase her power and ability which was gravity manipulation.

Her mind eventually became unstable causing an incident and destroying the entire research facility. The student council was then able to rush to the scene and bring her back to try to find a solution. However, as she was mentally unstable, all our efforts have mostly failed. "

"So, you are saying that you need an esper who grasps the mental domain in order to attempt recovery?" Feng Ye confirms.

"Yes, you are quite special as mental abilities types are actually quite rare. Would you be willing to help us with this?" Kotori inquires.

Feng Ye becomes silent and thinks about the advantages.

Akeno, at this point, interjects. "We only would like you to attempt. Success or failure will not affect my commitment."

Based on the advantages and disadvantages, Feng Ye decides to accept. "Okay, when do we attempt?"

"We can try in a few hours. I will meet you there and Kotori will bring you." Akeno answers.

"Alright." Feng Ye nods.

Kotori Miku at this time takes a look at Feng Ye. "Hey, now that we are essentially in the same boat, why don't you show me your true appearance? I am your roommate after all!"

Feng Ye sighs. It seems that this can't be helped. He relieves the Hidden Wanderer ability. Immediately, the common looking "lost in the crowd" face distorts.

Feng Ye's true appearance becomes revealed. His appearance was actually not bad. He had dark black pupils, black hair, and an athletic build which is more inclined to a swimmers build. Naturally, Feng Ye, was of Chinese descent. His face was quite different from a face which would be lost in the crowd. It was one who had what one would call the vigour of youth and a mysterious intellectual aura. This was his appearance. The very same appearance that he had in his old world. The only difference was that, due to the system's strengthening, his vision became perfect and he didn't require glasses.

This was the first time he had revealed his true features in this world. Unknowingly, he felt something vibrate nearby. It was a subtle movement, but he felt as though he was the cause of it. He didn't give it much though as there were two stronger existences in front of him.

Kotori is shocked at this change. It was too dramatic of a change.

Akeno smiles and chuckles. "You aren't ugly. I will see you and Kotori-san later tonight." As her words fall, she makes her way out of the conference room.

At this time Feng Ye, immediately activates Hidden Wanderer and changes from his original appearance.

Kotori snorts. "Really, such a cautious insecure one. Who knew that my roommate was actually that handsome."

"I am quite hungry. I'll meet you at your rental room when the time nears." Feng Ye walks out and heads first to his rental room.

When he arrives, he locks the door and sits on the bed. Immediately, he recalls the attribute panel.

He notices the new entry which describes his ability. "Vibration? WTF"

Shira's opinion then can be heard in his mind. "Yea, Feng Ye.. it seems that you have finally discovered your new ability. Perhaps, by accident? Anyways, it is an esper ability, so I'm not sure in regards to its development or potential. You'll have to find out yourself."

He immediately glances at the nearby pillow and concentrates. He visualizes it to vibrate. The pillow then can be visually seen exhibiting a vibrating behaviour. Next, he tries it on his hands. Sure enough, the same effect can be seen and felt. He will need to test it later when he goes to eat to determine the range that he can utilize this ability.

At this point, he is unsure what this would be useful for.

"Vibration? A very odd ability."

The description also hints of sonication. From his chemistry courses that he took in his first year, he remembers that sonication is the act of applying sound energy to agitate particles in a sample. This is usually done to clean samples or enhance extraction.

"Don't tell me that I have suddenly become an esper who can be known as the human vibrator? Human sonicator? At least that sounds less lewd….Wait, a minute….atoms also vibrate and aren't motionless… Perhaps, this ability can be developed to shatter the intermolecular forces via vibration? "

Just thinking of the possibilities of such an ability makes Feng Ye very satisfied.

"I am a human sonicator for now, however,..perhaps one day.. Atom manipulation!" Feng Ye laughs.

"You still have a long way to go and it might not be possible. Keep trying hard." Shira disparages on the side.

Feng Ye, after determining his new ability, heads to the first floor to get a meal.

This was a bit longer in comparison to the normal chapter length, thus, it took a bit longer to release.

Enjoy!

Chapitre 25: Ability Exploration

On his way to the first floor, Feng Ye ponders the different development paths that his vibration ability could expand to. Vibration seems to be applicable everywhere. Everything is essentially composed of atoms which means that the peak at which he could develop this ability to is a very high level. This is a high potential ability.

The question then remains. How should he develop? There are so many parameters that exist such as distance, size of object, level of precision, power of vibration, etc.

All these parameters would affect and determine his limitations. Thus, Feng Ye decides to first eat and then experiment to determine the current limits of this vibration ability. Perhaps, he would get some insight on how he should develop it.

Feng Ye arrives at a restaurant and takes a seat. At this time, he notices a glass of water a few tables away and tries to vibrate the water within it. He only planned to make it vibrate and barely noticeable. Next, he continues the same on a glass of water further away.

A few minutes later, he had determined that it requires more mental effort and energy to vibrate at a further distance. The same probably applies to the size of the object.

So, for an extremely heavy and large object which is really dense, it will probably take more effort to vibrate it when compared to a smaller one. The same would be true for particles at an atomic scale. It will require a ridiculous amount of energy and mental strength to vibrate it it enough to disrupt bonds.

Therefore, the two extremes of very large and very small is not possible for him at this time. A large object requires more overall strength, while a smaller one would require more strength in the control and precision of the ability.

As the food he orders arrives, he decides to inquire Shira to get her opinion.

In Feng Ye's mind, Shira had already taken a look at Feng Ye's approach to determining the limitations of his ability.

As Feng Ye's form appears across from her, Shira says, "I took a look at your trials...most likely it will be similar to your Spiritual Awareness ability. You'll need to continuously train and use it. The more you use it, the more experience and insights you would gain. As your ability is also dependent on your mental strength and effort, you will need to continuously use Spiritual Awareness to strengthen your mental constitution. You will find a natural increase in ability and development if you continuously exercise these abilities."

Feng Ye decides to actively use both his vibration and Spiritual Awareness abilities in conjunction with each other during the trainings that he would have to undergo the next few days. He decides to stop the experimentation at this time until after his attempt in exchanging with Kotori's sister.

He'll need all the energy that he could get. Thus, it is important to not continuously experiment at this time and mentally tire himself out.

As he eats the meal, Feng Ye decides to figure out what kind of applications this ability can contribute to him at this level. Currently, he won't be able to slow down the vibrations of particles or to make an area's temperature cool yet, nor could he control the vibration intensities at the molecular level. As of now, he can only make objects vibrate which may give off some heat. After some thinking, he remembers that sound is a vibration that typically propagates as an audible wave of pressure. The development of vibration of his sound can be done.

Sound seems to be easier to manipulate compared to at a molecular level. As he will be able to simply provide the sound and amplify it or decrease it with his vibration ability. This may also open up the development direction of sonic or ultrasonic weapons. He can potentially emit high power sound waves which could disrupt the eardrums of a target and cause them to experience pain or disorientation.

If he had a weapon, he could also apply these ideas to it.

He is enlightened Feng Ye immediately tries one last trial before stopping for the day. He immediately heads to the restaurant's washroom.

Once he arrives and notices that no one else is there. He mumbles softly, "Hi". He uses the vibration ability to amplify the sound. The "Hi" can be heard as it echos within the washroom.

"Nice, this might work. Although, it does result in some mental exhaustion, I should be able to utilize this ability often and at this scale. Once I head outside of the complex, I'll need to try to experiment whether I can concentrate and emit a high power sound wave."

Now, Feng Ye is equipped with Spiritual Awareness which will complement his vibration ability. He would be able to disorient his opponents and be able to potentially develop the vibrations into sonic weapons. If he is attacked and needs help, he could also utilize the vibration ability to amplify his yell for help. He looks forward to the day he can develop and use his vibration ability to create a domain with a controlled temperature. Other applications that he could use when this is fully developed include causing vibrations in the earth which may result in an earthquake, or ultimately breaking the molecular bonds, thus, destroying an individual's existence. Naturally, it isn't all destruction. He could potentially use sound to ease the mind's of individuals who are confused or target certain objects or cells and dispose of them.

The fully satisfied Feng Ye heads out of the washroom and back to his table. He quickly finishes his meal, pays the bill, and heads to Kotori's rental room where they had decided to meet up earlier the night.

As he arrives in front of Kotori's rental room, he knocks. Kotori opens the door. "Hello Feng-kun, are you ready?"

"Yeah, let's go." He replies.

Kotori leads Feng Ye to the elevator and they make their way back to the ground floor. After exiting the complex, Kotori leads Feng Ye to the metro line which is on route to the Aven Institute of Technology.

They arrive at the main campus shortly as this late at night, there's aren't as many passengers, thus, less stops that had to be made.

Kotori leads Feng Ye into an elevator and presses the lowest level available. "We will need to meet up with Akeno-san shortly. Just follow me and don't wander around."
