I was up early today. The sun still didn't rise yet I had already woken up

  It shouldn't have been weird for me as I was used to waking up too early, even on weekends

  But, after Reggie sent both Adam and me back to Henrik's house, I should have been tired from the infiltration. Yet, I didn't

  Huff. . . Damn habit. . .

  I then forced myself to get up from the bed, before I calmly rubbed my eyes

  . . . Well, since I couldn't fall back asleep, I guess I just showered early today and continue adjusting that CCTV. . .

  I then got off the bed, took a shower, put on a pair of fresh clothes, and headed downstairs where I saw both Henrik and his mom eating their breakfast before going to school

  "?h, g??dh m?rn?ng Dh?n?. Ye?? wy?kh? ?p ??rlye t?dh?ye "

  ("Ah, good morning Dani. You wake up early today ") Henrik's mom greeted me

  ". . . ? k?üldhn't ph?ll ?shl??p t? v? pr?k?sh?. Th?t'sh wyhye ?'m ?wy?kh? ??rlye "

  (". . . I couldn't fall asleep to be precise. That's why I'm awake early ") I said calmly

  "Wy?ll, ? k??kh vr??khph?sht ph?r ye?? ?ndh ?dh?m. ??t ?t l?t?r ?kh? "

  ("Well, I cook breakfast for you and Adam. Eat it later ok? ")

  ". . . ?'ll p?ye ye?? v?kkh l?t?r "

  (". . . I'll pay you back later ")

  "?h, ye?? dh?n't n??dh t?! Ye??'r? ??r g??sht ?pht?r ?ll. ?ph k??rsh?, wy? n??dh t? tr??t ye?? ?ndh ?dh?m wy?ll "

  ("Oh, you don't need to! You're our guest after all. Of course, we need to treat you and Adam well ")

  "Hmm, mye m?m'sh r?ght. Pl?sh, ye?? sh?z?dh m? v?ph?r?. K?m? ?n, l?t ?sh p?ye ye?? v?kkh "

  ("Hmm, my mom's right. Plus, you saved me before. Come on, let us pay you back ") Henrik said, supporting her mom

  ". . . Th?nksh "

  (". . . Thanks " )

  "?rm. . . ?lth??gh, ?ph ye?? k??ldh, k?n ye?? ?shkh ?dh?m n?t t? m?z? t?? m?kh wyh?n h?'sh ?shl??p? H? p?shh?dh m? phr?m mye v?dh l?sht n?ght "

  ("Erm. . . Although, if you could, can you ask Adam not to move too much when he's asleep? He pushed me from my bed last night ") Henrik asked me awkwardly

  ". . . Sh?rrye, h? ?lwy?yesh m?z?sh t?? m?kh wyh?n h?'sh dh??p ?shl??p. ? shl?p h?sh h??dh l?t?r "

  (". . . Sorry, he always moves too much when he's deep asleep. I slap his head later ") I said calmly

  "?-?h, n-n?, th?t'sh n?t wyh?t ?-"

  ("E-Eh, n-no, that's not what I-")

  "N?, ? ?nsh?sht "

  ("No, I insist ")

  "?-?ph ye?? sh?ye sh? th?n. . . "

  ("I-If you say so then. . . ")

  A few minutes after I greeted them goodbye, I ate my breakfast and decided to at least help them with their house chores

  . . . I don't like to take without giving anything back, it makes me feel annoyed at myself

  I then finished my breakfast and put the plates in the sink before washing them, including every other plate, glass, and the cutlery

  As I was washing them, I then stopped for a moment and picked up a fork I had just washed earlier before staring at it for a while

  There are no other sounds except the sound of the water flowing out from the tap and the sound of my breathing, which made my mind think deeper about something

  I then threw it at the wall with all my might, and I saw it just hit the wall before dropping to the floor, as it didn't manage to get through the wall

  . . . How the hell did I achieve that kind of speed last time?

  A few hours back at the labs

  "Kh?ll h?m! Kh?ll h?m!! "

  ("Kill him! Kill him!! ")

  The guards then raised their weapons and prepared their fighting stance and their spells at me, preparing to kill me

  ". . . Huff, I hope they get it done quick "

  They then ran towards me as one of them swung the sword at my neck while another guard on the back cast a wind blade at my stomach

  Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.

  I then took a step back and dodged the sword, grabbed the guard's wrist, and twisted it to make him drop the sword before using him as my meat shield against the wind blade

  As the wind blade hit his stomach, blood started to come out from his stomach, but it didn't stop the others from continuing to swing their weapons

  Another 2 guards swung their swords at me, but I quickly threw the dead guard at one of them, making the guard lose balance before I jumped back and dodged the other

  I then saw them stop attacking me for a while as some of them enhanced their physical body with a spell, making them reach beyond superhuman strength and speed, while the others enhanced their magic to make their next attacks much more powerful

  I then noticed one of the scientists was typing some code on a panel in a hurry, as she seemed to be trying to activate something

  I then took a step forward, and one of the guards instantly appeared in front of my eyes, his speed was faster than the eye could blink

  "Dh??, ye?? v?tkh! "

  ("Die, you bitch! ") The guard said as he swung his baton at my head

  But, as the baton was closer to my head, I managed to catch it with my hand, surprising everyone there

  Me included

  "Wyh?-! H?wy ?r? ye??-?! "

  ("Wha-! How are you-?! ")

  Without wasting any time, I quickly grabbed his arm and threw him to the metal wall, the wall dented as his back hit it

  . . . What is this feeling. . .?

  In that moment, there's a part inside my body that feels activated, like an on and off button

  The other guards then approach me with their weapons, trying to kill me on the spot

  I then quickly grabbed a sword from the ground and blocked their attacks, matching their speed

  I then swung the sword at the guard's head to his stomach and from his right to left, cutting him into four pieces in 4 seconds

  . . . This speed. . .

  I then blitzed to the guards who were holding their weapons and swung the sword at them, and they then tried to block and parry my attacks

  One of the guards managed to block my attacks barely, before another guard swung her baton at my head. But I quickly bent my knee slightly to dodge it, before cutting both her legs off in one clean swing, and beheading her in the next swing

  "?rrrgghhh! "

  ("Arrrgghhh! ") The guard shouted, letting his battle cry out as he swung his sword at my head. But, I managed to block before I cut him in half

  As the guard's upper body falls to the right while his lower body falls to the left, the rest of the guards and the scientists took a few steps back, as they're now scared of what I'm capable of

  However, my mind wasn't focused on their reaction, but instead, it was more focused on. . .

  . . . This strength. . . Why does it feel. . .

  I then slowly lifted my head and looked at them, before I once again blitzed and instantly appeared in front of one of the guards and killed him by stabbing his chest with the sword, before I pulled it out calmly

  One of the guards nearby then tried to cast her own blood spell, but I quickly cut her hand off with the sword before I slashed her to 4 four pieces by swinging the sword in X-style

  I then turned my head and saw one of the scientists pointing a gun towards me, but I quickly threw the sword at his throat, killing her in place

  I then blitzed towards him and grabbed the pen in his lab coat and threw it to thesscientist besides him at high speed and strength, making the pen pierce through his head and stick itself on the metal wall when it hit the wall

  The last scientist then summoned her fire lizard so she could use it to attack me, but I quickly grabbed it and threw it against the wall, before it slowly turned into particles of mana

  The scientist who saw it staggered back before falling by herself into the ground, looking at me with fear

  I then approached her calmly, taking a step-by-step, slowly closing the distance with her, before she passed out from fear

  As I saw her pass out, I decided to let her live, before I felt the 'feeling' earlier slowly subside, making my muscles feel tightened slowly

  . . . Why does this feel so natural?

  I then heard the metal door being opened forcefully, before I saw both Adam and Reggie about to approach me

  "Dani, we-" Adam was about to rush in to help me but immediately stopped in place

  They both saw me standing in the middle with guards and scientists lying on the ground, some were dead and unconscious, and I was frantically taking my breaths as I was tired of fighting all of them

  ". . . Ah, you guys done. Wish you both were much quicker honestly " I said calmly after I noticed them

  As my mind wandered back to the memory, my shoulder was suddenly tapped by someone, and I calmly turned my head

  "Oi, I've been calling for you a few times. You ok? " Adam said to me

  ". . . Yeah. Just. . . Thinking about something " I said calmly

  He then turned his head slightly and noticed the fork on the floor, before he looked at me dumbfounded

  "Dani. . . Did you. . . Throw that fork? "

  ". . . Yeah "

  ". . . Why? "

  ". . . Remember that I told you about the 'power' I got before? "

  ". . .! Wait, don't tell me-?! "

  ". . . Yeah. I used it when we were at the labs before "

  Adam then instantly approached me and gently grabbed both my shoulders in worry

  "Did anything happen to you?! You didn't feel like your lifespan was getting shortened or getting more sick aren't you?! "

  "No, no. Calm down, Adam. I'm fine "

  He then took a deep breath before reluctantly releasing my shoulders, still worried about my condition

  ". . . I figured it out a long time ago actually " I said calmly

  "---! Since when?! "

  "Since I helped you run from the guy who almost killed you with his sword "

  ". . . When I tried to save that boy alone? "

  "Hmm, I don't know why or when, but. . . I feel like my body turns on, or something similar "

  ". . . "

  "Sorry to make you worry, Adam. But, I'm fine, really. I'm not getting 'corrupted' or anything like that "

  ". . . Hey, Dani "

  "Yes? "

  "Could you. . . Not used that power anymore? "

  ". . . Why? "

  "I. . . I'm just. . . I'm just afraid "

  ". . . You're afraid that 'The Lord of Fallen Angels' might use me for his plan in the future, right? "

  ". . . I-I just don't want to lose another family. . . That's all "

  ". . . "

  "I-I understand if you refuse. . . I mean after all, you finally get a power after being magicless for a long time. . . It must feel. . . Thrilling for you. . . "

  I then looked at him calmly, his jaw tightening while he was clenching both his fists, feeling both guilty for asking but at the same time hoping that I would accept what he asked

  ". . . Heh, you're really a fucking idiot " I said, my lips slowly curved up into a smirk

  "---?! "

  "You really think I didn't know that? Of course I wouldn't use his power too often "

  "B-But, I thought-! "

  "Adam, I have been magicless since we were both children. You really think I would be that easily thrilled to use such dangerous power? Hell no "

  "Dani, you. . . "

  "Besides, did you forget that I refused Syed's offer when he wanted to fight the constellations just to make sure I get a gate? If you really think I'm that desperate to use this power, you're dumber than I thought " I teased him calmly

  He then suddenly hugged me tightly, relieved to hear such words from my mouth

  "Thank you, Dani. . . Thank you. . . "

  "No need to thank me. I wouldn't use this power even if you didn't tell me. Unless I'm truly desperate "

  I then calmly let go of his hug, before I looked at his face calmly

  "No need to worry, the only reason I try to 'activate' my power is so that I can know how it works. If I knew how, perhaps I could control it so it wouldn't activate by itself "

  ". . . Heh, yeah. That sounds like something you would do, sorry for overthinking about it "

  "Hmm, it's fine. Now go eat your breakfast, Henrik's mom cooked extra for you before they went to school earlier "

  He then smiled softly at me before taking the plate and walking to the living room, wanting to eat breakfast while watching TV

  . . . Heh, damn idiot I thought to myself as I washed the last plate, before I heard a scream from Adam

  "Dani, come over here quick! "

  I then calmly dried my hands and walked to the living room, where a woman reporter was currently reporting about the recent infiltration at the facility last night

  "Th?nksh t? th? ?nz?sht?g?t??n ?phph?rt phr?m th? pr?sh?dh?nt ?ndh h?sh t??m, ?n? ?ph th? pr?t?sht?rsh wyh? h?sh sh?m?h?wy vr?k?n ?nt? ?n? ?ph th? g?z?rnm?nt'sh ph?k?l?t??sh h?sh v??n p?sh?t?z?lye ?dh?nt?ph??dh "

  ("Thanks to the investigation effort from the president and his team, one of the protestors who has somehow broken into one of the government's facilities has been positively identified ")

  Just then, in the left corner of the TV, a sketch of my face was shown before the woman reporter kept on talking

  "Th? pr?sh?dh?nt v?l??z?sh th?t th?sh p?rsh?n wy?sh ?n? ?ph th?sh? r?shp?nsh?vl? ph?r th? ?nph?ltr?t??n l?sht n?ght. Th? ??th?r?t??sh h?z? v??n ?rdh?r?dh t? l?k?t? ?ndh k?pt?r? h?m "

  ("The president believes that this person was one of those responsible for the infiltration last night. The authorities have been ordered to locate and capture him ")

  ". . . Ha, should have killed that scientist instead of letting her live " I said calmly

  Adam suddenly stood up and shook my body a few times over, his face turned worried about me

  "Dani, what should we do now?! You're a criminal! "

  "Relax, didn't I tell you before that this is the risk if we want to take this government down? "

  "It didn't change the fact that you're on the list! We should think about how to keep you hidden, Dani! And stop being too calm! " He shouted, shaking me harder

  But, instead of being panicked since I'm now being hunted by the authorities, my mind instantly thought about the Frost Diamond's plan I made before

  ". . . No, actually, this is a golden opportunity "

  ". . . Ha? "

  "Do you still remember the plan I told you about Frost Diamond? "

  "Y-Yes. . . What about it? "

  "Let's remake that strategy, again "
