Chapter 56: A Cautionary Encounter

Chapter 56: A Cautionary Encounter

The atmosphere in the park was calm, with the faint chirping of birds and the occasional rustling of leaves in the breeze.

Adam stood across from Lisa, his tall figure clad in a school dress outfit that seemed to accentuate his enigmatic aura.

Lisa, on the other hand, looked far more ordinary—a young girl with wavy black hair cascading over her shoulders and a soft cardigan draped over her light school dress.

Adam’s voice was steady yet commanding. "Lisa, listen carefully to what I’m about to say. You’re probably wondering why I’ve been investigating you. The truth is, I can tell you’re not the type of person to hurt anyone with your powers. But that’s exactly why I feel responsible for warning you. There are others out there like us—people with powers. And trust me, you don’t want to cross paths with them."

Lisa, who had been clutching the chains of the swing tightly, began to relax slightly. Her wary expression softened as she asked, "Have you met others like me?"

Adam let out a deep breath, his eyes momentarily drifting to the horizon. "To be honest, I haven’t met anyone yet. But that doesn’t mean they’re not out there. And who knows what kind of dangerous abilities they might have? My advice to you is this: if you ever encounter someone else with powers, avoid them. Stay far away."

Lisa tilted her head slightly, curiosity flickering in her violet eyes. "What about you? What’s your power?"

Adam hesitated. It was a question he hadn’t anticipated, and for a moment, he simply stared at her. Finally, he replied, "I have telekinesis."

With that, Adam motioned subtly to his companion, Sona, who had been silently observing from his shoulder.

Sensing Adam’s intentions, she extends her hand which emits a white glow, activating her telekinesis skill.

A wooden stick lying on the ground nearby suddenly floated into the air. The stick whirled around Adam in a controlled arc before landing softly at Lisa’s feet.

Lisa’s eyes widened in astonishment. "That’s amazing! Your power is incredible!"

Adam looked away, a slight tinge of embarrassment creeping through his otherwise stoic demeanor.

Before he could respond, Sona interrupted, her tone mischievous. "She’s complimenting me, not you."

Adam sighed, casting a playful glance at Soona. "Yeah, yeah, I know," he muttered under his breath.

Adam pulled out his phone and handed it to Lisa. "Here," he said. "This is my number. I don’t mean to pry into your life or scare you, but I’ve been curious to know if there are others like us. I never intended to hurt you."

Lisa hesitated for a moment before taking the phone, her fingers brushing against the sleek surface as she saved the number.

"Thank you," she murmured. "I was excited when I found out you had powers too. It’s... comforting to know I’m not alone."

As Lisa handed the phone back, her expression brightened. "You know, my sisters will be so surprised when I tell them someone else has powers besides me."

Adam froze, his posture stiffening. His voice became serious, almost stern. "Wait. Lisa, who have you told about your powers?"

Lisa’s confidence faltered under Adam’s sharp gaze. She stammered, "N-not many. Just my sisters."

"And your sisters?" Adam pressed.

"They won’t tell anyone," she said quickly, a note of fear creeping into her voice.

Adam’s tone grew heavier. "Are you absolutely certain? Lisa, if word gets out that you have powers, it won’t just be people like me you’ll have to worry about. Ordinary people—those without powers—will come after you too. They’ll want to know what you can do, how you got your powers, and worse."

Lisa looked down, her hands trembling slightly. She could already imagine the chaos—her family being hounded, her life turned upside down. "I won’t tell anyone," she said finally, her voice quiet but resolute. "I promise."

Adam smiled faintly, a rare expression of approval. "Good."

The sun was beginning to set, casting a warm golden hue over the park.

Adam adjusted his tie slightly before speaking again. "Lisa, if you’re ever in trouble—any kind of trouble—call this number or just call out my name. I’ll come to help you no matter what."

Lisa’s cheeks turned a soft shade of pink, and she smiled shyly. "Why would you do that? You don’t even know me."

Adam’s gaze softened. "Because you’re like me. A power-holder. I don’t want anything bad to happen to you. People like us... we have to look out for each other."

Lisa’s smile grew, and for the first time, she seemed at ease. "Thank you. But... you haven’t even told me your name yet."

Adam blinked, caught off guard. "Oh. Right. Sorry about that. I guess I got so caught up I forgot to introduce myself." He extended his hand. "My name is Adam. I’m a second-year student at PK Academy. You can just call me Adam."

Lisa shook his hand gently. "It’s nice to meet you, Adam-senpai," she said with a slight bow.

Adam raised an eyebrow. "Senpai?"

Lisa grinned. "I’m a first-year student. It’s only polite."

"I was already guessing that Lisa is a first year student." Though adam

"Wait, do you also study at PK Academy?" Adam asked.

"No," Lisa replied with a soft laugh. "I go to the girls’ school nearby."

"I thought Lisa went to the same school as me. If that were true, I would be really ashamed of myself for not recognizing a girl who goes to the same school as me." Though adam

"By the way, if I look at Lisa’s dress, I can see that she doesn’t study in PK Academy but in some other school, but whatever it is, what does that matter to me? I should leave now." Though adam

"Oh. I see." Adam nodded thoughtfully before stepping back. "Well, Lisa, take care of yourself. And remember—keep your powers hidden. No one else needs to know."

Lisa nodded solemnly, watching as Adam and Soona disappeared into the fading light of the park.
