章 14: The Dark Desires Hidden In Everyone's Hearts
Kaizer got down from the car, which was opened by the second bodyguard, Franco. Franco was typically tall, buff, and had a neat military buzz cut that made him look menacing and official. He wore a black urban combat uniform without the vest and had a pistol strapped to his thigh, as he had a license to open carry.
The other bodyguard was called Raul, who had darker skin than his compatriot and a small mustache on his face along with his buzz cut, but he was generally more approachable. He was also well-built, wearing the same outfit and possessing the same loadout.
Seeing them, the campus security guards felt trepidation in their hearts and didn't dare to stop them. After all, they saw who these tough men were escorting — the famous number one young master of their school, Kaizer Lunin!
Kaizer did not have a reputation for bullying, womanizing, or anything really harmful, but people assumed he was peerlessly arrogant due to his cold and aloof nature, given that he didn't even get along with his own cousin who wasn't from the 'main line.'
What was just a bit of childish willfulness from Rina had been grossly misconstrued into some sort of palace drama, with factions in the Lunin family fighting for control over the wealth. What was funny was that Keith had been greatly assisted by their family on both sides, who invested all their money into him when he had nothing, so now the old man took care of them greatly.
Kaizer himself had been largely unaware of this because he was closed off, but with telepathy now active and his curiosity stoked, he could naturally hear the thoughts from those around him, which made his face darken slightly. It seemed he would have to talk with Rina about her tantrums in public, as they were creating a headache for them in the long run.
Never underestimate the power of a rumor. Even if you doubted yourself, you never know what your future holds. Your hard work may pay off one day, and you may be well on your way to great success and achieving your dreams, but some random hater might bring up an unfounded rumor from the past that could block you forever from the gates of your paradise.
Many people in the world learned this lesson the hard way, especially with the advent of the internet, so never allow yourself to become one of these tragic examples.
Class began, and Kaizer started to lose focus as he practiced his telepathic powers again. When outside his home, he did not dare practice or use telekinesis lightly in case he was being monitored outside of his 100-meter range, not to mention that cameras and technology did not have brains.
It was best to focus on the inconspicuous telepathy, which could even allow him to learn secrets he would have never known, like his current teacher, Miss Faithia, who was thinking about a message from George, another lesser-known young master in his class.
Apparently, the slightly handsome fellow had been blackmailing their voluptuous married teacher into a sexual relationship for a while, with events playing out like some common hentai plot. After all, the woman had only resisted at the beginning but had been 'mind broken' and was now thinking only of how to enjoy the coming experience after class. Even her teaching was a bit lazy and hurried, though the students were happy about that.
… Kaizer decided to send her husband an anonymous message when he got home.
After all, even if he reported it to the police, he would be wasting his time.
The woman no longer wanted to be saved.
This was just one of the many secrets he was hearing. It should be noted that Kaizer could only see surface thoughts or active thoughts passing through a person's head, not dig into their memories to know what they ate for breakfast.
At least… not yet.
But the issue was that people had countless thoughts buzzing through their heads at any given time, most of them incoherent messes. It was like listening to a radio that was having bouts of static; he could only pick the more coherent and stronger thoughts while the rest zipped by.
But even this was enough. He found out, much to his dry amusement, that about three girls in the class who had never even spoken to him were currently defiling his entire body in their heads.
The things they did to him in their thoughts… Kaizer shuddered.
Women are scary.
Horny women even more so, for they are more deranged and unrestrained than males who are used to being openly horny, since women are usually made to suppress their desires for social reasons.
Class came to an end, and people began to chatter with one another as they discussed their banal days. Kaizer remained silent in his seat as he focused more on hearing thoughts while being distracted by the words entering his ears, feeling that this was good training.
He wouldn't always have the luxury of being in a quiet place like a car or a silent library to hear thoughts. More than likely, it would be situations like with Carla, where he was under heavy duress and had little time to actively focus on thoughts, instead having to react quickly.
But Kaizer was left speechless, because he discovered a very shocking truth that many average people never realized in their lives. This was simply the fact that more than 90% of people did not actually say what they were thinking, and some people could say things directly opposite to their strongest thoughts.
A relatively fat dude who was good with words had gathered some female friends whom he was entertaining with jokes, but his mind was completely set on how he was going to devour one of the more attractive ones among them, with his mind already acting out the scenes even as he spat out clever jokes.
… Ironically, the one he was talking to was one of the three who wanted to ruin Kaizer's body, and she was actively comparing him to the paunchy fellow talking to her. She was wondering why Kaizer was not the one talking to her right now and lamented that though this fellow before her was very nice to hang out with, he simply wasn't what she wanted.
… Even more dumbfounding was that there was one girl in this group whom the fat guy actually genuinely cared for as a friend and wanted the best for, who had a strong crush on him and thought he was awesome.
But the guy did not even have the slightest sexual interest in her whatsoever.
Tragic.
But Kaizer was not really bothered by all this. It might seem like all he was gaining was gossip and unnecessary information about the average life of young people, but this was important in understanding the world around him.
No one could know what truly went on in the mind of another, and many great men in the world who were in top positions often trained their ability to understand others to better deal with people. However, all of that, no matter how good, was susceptible to a margin of error, while telepathy was perfect.
Thinking of the things he learned today, Kaizer had completely understood the true nature of his fellow students and knew which ones to trust and who to avoid.
This was, in some ways, priceless.
