Chapter 2
[ Ding! You can bind a character for gaining the opportunity to withdraw the templates of different abilities. ]
[ Would you like to bind the Arc as the target for binding? ]
[ Yes ] [ No ]
Alex quickly agreed with mental 'yes'.
"So what help do you need from me?" Arc asked with nervous expressions.
"Nothing for now, but I will come to you when I will need one later. Thank you for everything." Alex saying This quickly walked away after Arc retreated his hand.
"That was weird." Alex could hear the Arc saying this after he left from there.
[ Ding! Binding is successful. ]
[ No, Ability template opportunity is available. ]
[ Ding! Novice benefit is activated. ]
[ Ding! A drawing opportunity is forcefully overdrafted from future acquired opportunities. ]
[ Do you want to use this Opportunity? ]
Although, on the outside it was appearing as that Alex is focusing on the ground to walk with caution but his most attention was on the notifications sounding in his head.
Response of Alex was obviously 'yes' to notification question of the system.
[ Ding! Drawing the random ability template. ]
[ … ]
[ Ding! You have acquired the Illusive Clone. ]
[ Ding! You can use the newly acquired ability template for one whole day at maximum performance of Apprentice Psychic Master without using any energy. ]
Alex could feel the information regarding the uses of this new ability entering his mind.
'So, this ability can conjure the clones of me out of pure energy which is invulnerable to any physical attacks. Two other added functions at the apprentice level provide increased number of clones upto 3 and make them absorb the psionic energy for real body.'
Alex's mind was running at the speed that he never thought was possible and it was all for taking all the possible benefits of this one day.
It was already evening as that darkness was slowly rising.
Alex walked around and found a place where he can spend the night and sleep.
Before sleeping, Alex conjured the three clones and made two absorb the psionic energy from the surrounding, while sent the third clone covered in dark cloths to the office of principal of high psychic school.
"Principal hear me out, I am here to make a deal."
Just at entering, clone of Alex controlled by his own self said this.
"Security, who let this person come inside. Kick him out." Principles said.
"They are not able to do anything against me, so, why don't we sit like civilized people and talk things out."
Principle quickly casted the apprentice skill of earth element called "Earth Push", trying to push the clone along with ground underneath him.
But legs of Alex's clone got destroyed but stood there like nothing happened. In few seconds, legs of that clone grew back like fog coming back together.
"So, would you listen to me now? I think I have made my point by not attacking you in return." Alex said, his face might have been covered but his tone was enough for showing that he is not bothered by this attack even in the slightest.
"You are not human, just what are you?" Principal asked in scared tone because in his life, he never got to read content that such things are possible for psychic.
"Oh! Don't be scared. I am as much of a human as you are. It's just that our psychic elements are different from regulars. I want to entrust someone with similar potential to your school. But he is not in any magic junior school so I want you to do something about it." Alex was slowly setting up a proper atmosphere for principal to agree with him by using his psychology tricks.
"You are strong then why don't you do it yourself." Principal wanted to ask this just when he heard invader's words.
"How can I do that? I am not even here, it's just skill of my psychic element here who is talking to you." Alex said with a mocking and explaining tone.
Principal was shocked hearing this because such power and element is truly unheard of in psychic world.
"What do you want?" Principal showed why he is standing stable in this psychic world because his this reply was calm and serious.
"I want you to let a boy enter the Junior magic school in class that is about to hit through the psychic element awakening. And make his living arrangement with boy named Arc Ashford. No need to give him spot light or special treatment but take care of his normal expenses, that's all. By the way, I am on side of psychic court and I have no enemies following me around so no need to worry about anything." These words may have been said in just minute or two but Alex have thought multiples time what to say and what not to say.
"But, you know that boy Arc is enemy of the Royal family of this city. So, …" Principal tried to explain this.
"I already know, but it's nothing to worry to about. Should I consider this deal done?" Alex was making his voice rough this whole time as to not let Principal discover him when he in real came in front of him.
"Yes, but how would I recognize this boy you are talking about?" Principal was very through with his questions as to leave any loophole or reason to anger this person.
"He would come to you tomorrow by himself and you can recognize him by code word, 'Demon Reaper'." Arc assigned a word for recognizing easily and making his identity more mysterious to principal.
Principal nodded in agreement.
Then, Arc took back the psychic energy being consumed for maintaing this clones. He had unlimited energy for this one day to use this ability with full access and he wanted to make full use of it.
Clone quickly disappeared form there like he wasn't there just a second ago.
Principal was left speechless and surprised because he saw no shadow element psychic skill being used there. He was now more concerned and devoted to do as this mysterious person said to avoid any future trouble coming his way.
'Yes, now as that's done, I can use all three clones to acquire as much as psychic energy is possible to get.' Alex hide the summoned clones in abandoned places and started sleeping on the places where homeless people sleep.
Alex knew that there can be worst thing than sleeping on roads in life but his situation would change tomorrow, which was his plan for now.
