After discovering Shakti's talent, Aryan spent rest of the evening reflecting on his own abilities. After dinner, he found some alone time to think about the skills and abilities he had created. He realized that the combination of his skills—[Perfect Body], [Omni-energy Breeder Reactor], and the "Essence of Blank"—were responsible for his race being termed as 'High-human' in the status panel. This transformation had made him even more handsome, with black hair and features slightly resembling Hrithik Roshan, though the differences were noticeable. His adoptive family hadn't remarked on his changes, likely attributing them to natural growth.
Curiosity piqued, Aryan decided to explore his newfound abilities further. He focused on his skill [Ananta Kshetra], and a shimmering portal materialized before him. Stepping through, he found himself in a mysterious, seemingly infinite space, filled with swirling mists and boundless potential.
Determined to shape this space to his liking, Aryan invoked his skill [Athena: Goddess of Wisdom]. Instantly, he felt a surge of vast computing prowess and ancient wisdom. The skill sensed Aryan's desires and began to model the infinite space based on Earth.
Under Athena's guidance, lush forests, towering mountains, and serene oceans emerged. Cities with intricate architecture took form, reflecting Aryan's vision of an ideal world. The space transformed into a harmonious blend of nature and civilization, a testament to Aryan's creativity and the power of his skills.
Aryan floated in the skies above the plains, taking in the breathtaking scenery of lush forests, towering mountains, and serene oceans. Deciding this was the perfect place for his training, he descended gracefully to the ground. With a focused thought, he activated his skill [Parallel Existence], creating a clone of himself.
Next, Aryan adjusted the time flow within this dimension. While only an hour would pass outside, a day would elapse here, allowing for extensive training. He also ensured that the clones would not age, preserving their vitality.
Turning towards his clone, Aryan watched as it used the skill [Multi -Shadow Clone jutsu], creating a thousand duplicates. The clones were then divided into teams, each responsible for mastering a specific skill. Drawing inspiration from various anime and comics, Aryan organized the training arcs:
1. **Team A**: Focused on physical combat, honing techniques and strength.
2. **Team B & C**: Specialized in energy manipulation, mastering the [Omni-energy Breeder Reactor] in combination with skills like [All Elemental Domination] and [Space-Time Manipulation] to recreate various spells and techniques popular in anime and comics.
3. **Team D**: Worked on perfecting the [Perfect Body], enhancing agility and endurance.
As the clones began their rigorous training, Aryan felt a sense of anticipation. This dimension, with its accelerated time and boundless potential, was the ideal place to master his skills and unlock his true potential.
In the following weeks, Aryan seamlessly balanced his life in a 1930s Indian middle-class family with his extraordinary abilities. He diligently trained Shakti in harnessing her powers, guiding her with patience and wisdom. Each evening, after dinner, Aryan found a quiet moment to retreat into his personal dimension. There, he meticulously monitored the progress of his clones, ensuring they were mastering their designated skills. This routine became a comforting ritual, blending the mundane with the extraordinary, as Aryan continued to unlock his true potential while maintaining his familial responsibilities.
After weeks of adjusting to his new life, Aryan decided it was time to reconnect with the outside world. He made his way through the bustling streets of 1930s Kolkata, the air filled with the sounds of tram bells and street vendors. The city was alive with activity, a stark contrast to the serene dimension he had created.
Aryan arrived at the modest home of his best friend, Karna Sharma. Karna, with his practical and grounded approach to life, was a stark contrast to Aryan's genius and extraordinary abilities. As Aryan knocked on the door, he felt a mix of excitement and nervousness.
Karna greeted him with a warm smile. "Aryan! It's been ages. Where have you been hiding?"
Aryan chuckled, trying to keep his explanation simple. "I was a bit sick and decided to take it easy at home. Spent a lot of time playing with Shakti."
Karna nodded, his expression thoughtful. "It's good to see you back on your feet. You look... different, somehow."
Aryan shrugged, trying to downplay the changes. "Just growing up, I guess."
As they settled into their usual spot on the veranda, sipping tea and catching up, Aryan's curiosity got the better of him. He decided to use his skill [Analyze] discreetly to see if Karna possessed any superhuman potential.
Activating [Analyze], Aryan focused on Karna. A stream of information flowed into his mind, revealing Karna's physical and mental attributes. To Aryan's surprise, he discovered that Karna had a latent potential for telepathy and telekinesis, traits that could be honed into formidable abilities.
Aryan smiled inwardly, feeling a sense of excitement about the possibilities. He decided to keep this information to himself for now, pondering how best to help his friend unlock his potential in the future. For now, he was content to enjoy the simple pleasure of reconnecting with his best friend, blending the extraordinary with the ordinary once more.
As they continued their conversation, Aryan asked, "So, Karna, what's been happening at school lately?"
Karna sighed, "Oh, you know, the usual. But everyone has been asking about you. Even some of the teachers were curious. They know you don't really need to be there to study, given how you've already mastered everything. Mr. Thompson, the British principal, even mentioned how impressed he was with your knowledge. It's rare for him to praise anyone, especially an Indian student."
Aryan smiled, "Really? That's surprising. What did he say?"
Karna chuckled, "He said something like, 'Aryan is a remarkable young man. His grasp of subjects is beyond what we teach here. It's a pity he doesn't attend regularly, but I understand he has his reasons.' It was quite a moment, considering his usual attitude."
Aryan nodded thoughtfully, "That's good to hear. I guess my absence hasn't caused too much trouble then."
Karna shook his head, "Not really. But some of our friends were worried. They thought something might have happened to you. I told them you were just taking it easy at home, but they still missed having you around."
Aryan felt a pang of guilt, "I should have been more considerate. I'll make an effort to be around more often."
Karna smiled, "They'll be happy to see you. And who knows, maybe you can help us with our studies. We could use some of that genius of yours."
Aryan laughed, "Sure, I'd be happy to help. Let's make the most of our time together."
