Chapter 110: New Power Again?
“You have awakened the Power of Wind,” Eve’s voice echoed in my mind.
I was dumbstruck when I heard her words. New power again. Even though I should be happy, but I was not.
A few days back I awakened the new power, and now again I awakened the Power of wind. What do these people think of me?
When my eyes were fixed on the people in front of me, they all had scared looks on their faces. But when I looked at the surroundings around me, I knew why are they scared of me.
The wind has destroyed everything around me, even trees planted around the park were uprooted. But what was more surprising was that the bench on which I was sitting was fine. I could find not even a scratch on it.
My heart started beating faster as only one question popped up in my mind:
What is happening to me? Is that blood still affecting me?
After a while, I shook my head and sat on the bench again. My mind was in a mess and everything was going out of control for me now.
Every once in a while, a new power pops out of me. It is okay when everyone in this world is like that. But no, I am becoming an anomaly. They would surely start suspecting me, or these people could even start experimenting on me.
As I closed my eyes, all these questions and worries started surfacing in my mind. I was even more worried about my body. Whether it could cope with the pressure.
But suddenly the image of the memories surfaced in my mind. That boy also had many powers, and he was doing still fine. I still don’t know whether that memory is mine or the memories of the man whose blood I consumed.
As all these thoughts were racing in my mind, suddenly Alexandra’s voice reached my ears.
“Alan, are you all right?”
I opened my eyes to see both Alexandra and Tanya were approaching me, but my eyes scanned the people standing far away, who looked still scared.
I shook my head and sighed, “What do you think?”
“What happened? Did you awaken another Power?” This time, it was Tanya who spoke to me.
“I don’t know,” I shook my head and said.
But suddenly, Tanya patted on my shoulders, “Don’t worry, Even if you have awakened a new power, it is a good thing for you as Headquarters would be more interested in cultivating you.”
I was surprised? She is not scared of me? After all, I destroyed everything around me.
“Are you not scared?” I asked her while my eyes fixed on her face.
“We were when we saw the destruction caused by the wind and you were sitting in the middle of it. You know, the entire facility woke up when you were causing havoc here. We thought someone had attacked the facility. That was the reason we came here hurriedly to see you were the cause of the whole destruction.”
Her voice became sarcastic as she finished her sentence. I couldn’t even retort as I was the cause of the whole destruction and all these people were standing here because of me.
I sighed and said, “Even I don’t know what happened to me. I just finished my routine and sat and closed my eyes to relax. I just saw a dream that I was in the middle of a tornado. I didn’t know that it really happened around me.”
Both Alexandra and Tanya had surprised expressions on their faces when they heard my lie. Well, to be honest even I don’t know why my power got awakened but I only remember that I was thinking about Lucia.
Hah, I don’t know how she was connected to these events, but both of the times my power awakened when I thought about her. And then there is that blood, which is still in the middle of getting assimilated into my body.
“Anyway, it was good that it happened in the park when nobody was around you. If there would have been any causality, then it would have created a problem,” Alexandra said.
When I looked at her, she had a look of understanding on her face as she also patted my shoulders.
“Come on, let’s go. We have to report this development as well. I don’t know how headquarters is going to respond,”
When I saw that everyone started dispersing from the scene, a special team started cleaning the place. I shook my head and followed Alexandra.
Even during this time, I didn’t see Isabella. Is she not here?
Hah, I don’t know, but I am acting like a love-struck fool, but I cannot remove her figure from my mind.
After a while, we all gathered in Alexandra’s office. Those five people started staring at me. I could even see that they were looking at me as if I was a precious lab rat.
But still, I know I understand their enthusiasm. I just told them that I am the dual power holder, now they even witnessed that I awakened the third power. I could see that they really couldn’t wait to start experimenting with me.
A shiver ran down my spine as all the hairs on my body stood up when I saw the look on their faces. But then Alexandra came to my rescue.
“I think you should know that now everybody will concentrate on you.” She said with a solemn voice.
I nodded when I heard her. This world is hungry for power, and it would be sensational news when anybody got to know that I have awakened the third power.
“I have already informed the headquarters about the development. But there is a high chance that you would be called there.”
I again nodded. I knew that they would especially put more attention on me as I awakened new powers.
“You should also know that you are now one of the few individuals who has awakened three powers. But you have to be careful. Since you haven’t gone through the second evolution. Your body wouldn’t be able to keep the pressure of maintaining the powers. So until I get any orders. From tomorrow onwards, our goal would be to strengthen your body. And it will start with gravity training.” She said, as her gaze was fixed on me.
“I understand,” I said as I nodded.
Even I understand the gravity of the situation. Even though it is a good thing that I have awakened the new power, it will surely put a toll on my body. And from past experience, I knew that gravity training would be the best bet for me to develop my body.
While I was thinking, Tanya came and sat beside me on the couch.
“Don’t be too worried. We are there to help you. And you should be proud that you have achieved something that very few were able to achieve. And for your information last time when someone awakened the third power. It was almost a hundred years ago.” Her voice reached my ears.
I was surprised. I didn’t know that it had been so long when someone awakened the third power. But now I am sure that headquarters would definitely take interest in me as they would not want to miss out on a person who awakened three powers.
I turned my head to look at Tanya, who had a serious look on her face. I could tell that she was not joking this time. Sometimes she acts maturely. The same thing happened in the pub when she interfered.
“Thanks,” I said to her while my eyes were fixed on her.
After a while, I made my way to my place. While on my way, my mind was filled with different thoughts. Sometimes I felt that I was lucky not to have awakened the power of Death, which I saw that in that memory. Sometimes I felt unlucky as I am growing too quickly. Even though it sounds good, but even though I have the power, I cannot use it since my body wouldn’t be able to handle the pressure of using that power.
Hah, I think I should cherish what is in front of me, at least I have something which others don’t.
As I was on the way to my place, I didn’t find anyone on the way. Suddenly I got reminded of the time when I was sitting alone on the bench. I felt the same sensation when I found myself to be alone and it was at that time I started thinking about Lucia.
And it was at that time when I fell into a trance.
Hah, I shook my head and cleared all my thoughts. For the time being, I really don’t want to think about anything. To be honest, I am slightly scared of awakening another power. I am already focusing my attention on everyone and I don’t want anyone to suspect me of anything. Otherwise, they would really put me under the table for the experimentation and I am still not strong enough to protect myself.
As I was thinking about all these things, I stood before my place. But it surprised me when I saw the person who stood before me.
“Why is she here?”
