"Come, let me show you something interesting."
"What?"
"My body comprises machinery, artificial muscle, and tissue. So, I also added some extra nifty things to my body."
"Did you can breathe fire out like a dragon, or have gills like a megalodon shark, or tentacles like appendages that come out of your back, or did you increase the length of your male reproductive organ for nighttime activities, or did you cut it off and turn intersex?"
"No, that might be cool, tentacle will feel gross, I might have, and no, I am still male. And further question for later."
Liam and Layla enter a room full of guns and a blast shield partition.
Liam walks toward one end of the room and faces Layla.
"Layla, I want you to pick a gun and fire at me."
"Bang!"
"Wait, are you crazy. We will do it again on the count of 3, ok, not before it."
"Can't your body withstand it?"
"Yes, but it will still hurt like hell."
"Sir, it's advised not to do such an experiment with psychic power."
"What! psychic?"
"I will show you. And AISAR, sometimes you have put yourself in danger, to test your limit, like a leap of faith, you know it."
"Sir, in my programming, there is no uncertainty; I calculate for every possible scenario."
"Yes, I know I programmed you that way. Now Layla, 1, 2 & 3!"
Liam raised his palm, posing for people to stop.
"Bang!"
"STOP"
The bullet came to stop 3 m away from him.
Liam then falls, tired from overexertion.
On the other side, Layla goes wide-eyed.
"Did you just use an innate ability? But you did not have an innate ability before."
"Yes, with my mind, I can stop a bullet. And it's the first time I've done it."
A mechanical hand gives water to Liam and brings 2 seats for the occupants of the room.
"Do you remember, innate abilities do not need mana to function, it is an ability they are born with, it is a super power which does not fit in the magical system."
"Yeah, one born with innate ability has a ticket to the peak in the world."
"AISAR, bring out the folder of superpowers."
A hologram screen surrounds both of them and starts to show the folder content."
Lightning body, phoenix origin, water of life, blessing of green, charm, and many others scrolled down.
"So, what type of innate ability did you acquire?"
"Mind, psychic ability to create changes in phases of reality to create a phenomenon. I can pick things up and stop things."
"Isn't it just invisible mage hand and tangible shield spell, nothing impressive, but the mind can awaken an innate ability, which is an impressive discovery. Why did you not tell me about it? Give me the research result."
"Of course, I will send it to your terminal right now, AISAR."
"Sending right now, sir."
"Sir, Knight Belore is at the front door."
"Invite him inside AISAR."
"Let's meet him at the office."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knight Commander Belore looks like a young man in his 20s or 30s, but he is an old man and is of the same generation as Liam and Layla. But he was a prodigy, and he became a sword master at the age of 25.
"Sir, Master Liam is waiting for you in his office."
"It sure is nice to have someone like you as an assistant, I wish I had someone like you. You are very intelligent, not like those expensive tower spirits of the Mage Tower. You are totally different from a conventional tower spirit."
"Thank you for your evaluation, Knight Belore."
Belore enters Liam's office and gets confused upon seeing the occupants.
"Who are you two?"
