Chapter 105: Chapter 105: Self-taught Success_1
After returning from the prison in the distant suburbs, Song Lan had a sound sleep. The next morning, he texted Roger claiming he was sick and needed to take a day off at home.
This was not a lie. During his time at the prison last night, he had indeed suffered a huge mental trauma.
After taking leave, he called Elmon into the living room and took three spoons from the kitchen counter.
Looking back, ever since Elmon became his student, he hadn’t really taught him any substantial skills. Even though a teacher leads the student to the door, the learning is up to the individual, but as a mentor, he occasionally needs to guide his own student.
After all, Elmon’s dream was to become a respected Law Enforcer, not an automatic snack vending machine.
He directed Elmon to the opposite seat, "Starting from today, you’ll begin learning to master Spiritual Energy."
Song Lan placed the three spoons on the table.
Guiding Elmon’s training would be a part of his own process of understanding Spiritual Energy.
He felt that his self-learning ability was strong. When he was in college, he had once self-studied a whole semester’s worth of advanced mathematics in just one week. Even though his scores weren’t up to par, at least he was in a different league compared to those who scored 20 or 30 points.
Of course, the reason he had to self-study mathematics was that he hardly attended any classes during the semester.
The math classes were usually early in the morning, a time when he would often be sound asleep in the classroom.
Now, it was time for him to showcase his self-learning skills again.
Song Lan picked up one of the spoons. Carefully, he used his Spiritual Energy to envelop it, mindful not to use too much force and grind the spoon to dust. For him, bending the spoon was even more difficult as it required focused attention to master control over the Spiritual Energy.
The process took him a full ten seconds.
Ten seconds later, the spoon that he held in his hand had finally bent 30 degrees.
Before Elmon’s gleaming eyes, he passed the spoon over, "Now, try to restore it to its original shape."
Elmon took the spoon. He closed his eyes, and less than five seconds later, the bent spoon was back to its original shape.
"The uncles and aunts in the laboratory often have me do similar exercises."
He still remembers how excited the researchers were when he first restored a spoon.
Elmon always remembered this feeling because it was the first time he’d felt that maybe he was capable of something extraordinary.
"This is a test of Spiritual Energy’s direction. It corresponds to the three directions of Destruction, Interference, and Support. These three directions will determine the type of ability a Psychic will have in the future. Your ability falls under the Support Type."
This was also a part of Song Lan’s knowledge review process.
Song Lan was not surprised that Elmon had quickly restored the bent spoon. It was just like assigning a middle school student to answer elementary school problems.
It was only after meeting Aishi that Song Lan realized that it was this ’elementary problem’ that highlighted the biggest difference between the United Government Psychics and the ’outside world’ Psychics.
The former focused more on the abilities derived from the direction of Spiritual Energy. Consequently, the United Government found various ways to force the Psychics to skip the exploration phase of Spiritual Energy and stimulate abilities in the most efficient way possible through drugs or mental stimulation.
Song Lan could understand this impatient practice. After all, unlike a prosthetic implantation, the strength of Spiritual Energy did not seem to significantly augment physical strength. If Psychic Abilities couldn’t be activated as soon as possible, a Psychic could stay vulnerable for a long time.
Using Spiritual Energy to destroy items, sensing the surrounding environment, or, restoring broken items... it’s now the year 2166. Even without prosthetic implant technology, a common individual could easily accomplish these tasks with some knowledge of technology.
Both the United Government and the Psychics themselves probably find it difficult to accept the idea of spending several, even more than ten years, to explore Psychic Abilities.
But for Song Lan, exploring Psychic Abilities holds a different significance.
Because if Spiritual Energy is considered a type of energy, then the amount of energy he could dominate was astonishing. Last night, covering the entire prison with Spiritual Energy was not his limit. If it weren’t for the psychological shadows created by seeing something he shouldn’t have, he could have continued spreading the energy.
What Aishi mentioned about "feeling the world through your heart" was likely only one of the uses for Spiritual Energy.
As the consciousness of a Psychic changes, the usage of Spiritual Energy could come with countless possibilities.
"Elmon, the use of Spiritual Energy is not just limited to fixing spoons."
Having this thought, Song Lan suddenly came up with a whimsical idea.
"Squeak —"
Emanating from behind him, the sound of a door opening startled Elmon. Turning his head, he discovered that it was the fridge in the kitchen. The freezer door had been opened by some invisible force. The eggs arranged on the top shelf seemed to be endowed with life and flew out of the fridge onto the kitchen counter.
The freak happenings did not stop there; he clearly saw more and more kitchenware being animated.
The moment the eggshell cracked open, the bowl on the rack accurately caught the yolk and whites. The chopsticks were stirring the beaten egg in the bowl, dancing around. As the cutting board fell onto the table, the incessantly falling knife was composing a symphony in this silent room.
The flame on the stove was ignited. The "sizzling" sound echoed as the beaten egg was poured into the frying pan.
"This, is the application of Interference Type Psychic Abilities."
Song Lan turned to a pale-faced Elmon, who was clearly frightened by the moving kitchenware.
In fact, he hadn’t expected his first attempt to be so successful. All the objects dominated by the Spiritual Energy followed his will and began their work orderly.
Everything felt extremely natural, as if he’d been adept at controlling Spiritual Energy for a long time.
This was how he felt the first time he used his ability.
"This, is the goal of your future training."
Song Lan said.
"But master, what exactly should I do?"
Elmon looked lost. He had no idea how the kitchenware on the kitchen counter moved on their own. Right now, he couldn’t even make the spoon on the table float.
"The essence of Support Type Psychic Abilities is not straightening a bent spoon, but restoring broken objects to their original state."
Song Lan revealed his speculation about the three directions of Psychic Abilities. As long as you grasp this essence, you can develop a corresponding training plan, "Start with the safe in my bedroom that has a hole in it. From today on, you need to pay close attention to everything around you, wherever there is a broken object, you go there. In the long run, your understanding of Support Type Psychic Strength will definitely reach the pinnacle."
Grow, Elmon.
