After around two weeks of experimentation and practice l was finally ready. I had the main things I had practiced with that I felt were now ready, the most important of which, that would allow a four year old to be outside without raising suspicion, was a sort of perception filter.

  Whoever has completed the Neuro-plasticity training, also has an intimate understanding of the human mind, using said understanding and my own new understanding of how my empathy works, I created my perception filter that would make sure people would mostly ignore me, it wasn't perfect, and I'm not invisible so I can't do things that would attract attention, but I had used it around the house for a couple days now, and it works fine.

  About one and a half weeks ago, I decided or rather I thought to use my sixth sense to observe how exactly my empathy works.

  As it turned out, unlike the other spells or charms that I had observed, empathy doesn't have the fluid like half of the cast magic that I believe signified focus.

  Basically, whenever I do magic wether it be telekinesis or transfiguration, based on my observation I would either sense it as a mana current going from me to the object, or as a four-dimensional wave going from me to the object and back within the fabric of the Mana-field, however for empathy it's that basically I send incredibly weak waves out and I receive a sort of echo from any person in range, like a dolphin detecting things with sonar, the important part of that observation however was that, even though I'm clearly using magic, the is no trace of a mana current, not only that, I'm not spending mana for the effect either.

  This however changes when I try growing or muting what I have also recently realized are not just emotions, but also intentions. I'm getting off topic, I'm still not using a mana current but I am using more mana for the effect.

  Since then I've practiced to amplify people's likelihood to ignore my existence, it took a couple days for me to get it to work on a crowd, I still can't hide from people that are too familiar with me such as Alice, Liz, Brian to a lesser extent, and Mrs. Gray, but it works wonderfully on everyone else.

  Today is the day, there are several goals that I have, most of which I hope to achieve today, but the first and most important is to not just sneak out but remain hidden, even I sometimes forget that I'm only four years old, any sane person that sees me out without supervision would most definitely call the police, or kidnap me since I'm kinda cute.

  Regardless of the danger of predators, I'm confident I can keep myself safe from any mundane danger, and I can sense any other wizard way before they see me, so I should be safe.

  It's around nine in the morning, Alice is in school, Mrs. Gray is also out doing something or the other that I don't know about, though Alice probably does. Honestly the way that girl finds and deduces information is terrifying. I could do it, but that's primarily thanks to my eidetic memory.

  Today is Brian's turn to watch the house, or rather, Liz was supposed to come as well but I guess she had something come up. That's good for me though, Brian was never very good with overly young children so he's the one I'm least familiar with, meaning he's also the one I can affect the easiest.

  Having put on my outside clothes consisting of a black and white dress a pair of warm rather thick black stockings, almost knee high boots and a black knee length leather jacket with a hood, I'm ready for my first time solo outing in twenty-first century London.

  The clothes of course didn't start out like this, in these two weeks empathy and telekinesis weren't the only things I messed with. While experimenting with transfiguration I learned that I could change anything to any other, and while the change took a considerable amount of mana, keeping the transformation didn't need nearly as much.

  You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

  The other thing I found, was that to transform matter into something, I have to be familiar with the resulting matter, that is too say, familiar not with just it's scientific definition and metrics but with personal experience, by having handled it to a large degree before.

  The clothes we get here are mostly hand me downs from the older children, unless it's a birthday present, for me though as I'm the only one ever in Mrs. Gray's care to be so young most of my clothes are actually new, they are childish however. All of them are full of pinks and reds and yellows, as if a unicorn had barfed in my closet when I wasn't looking.

  There was no way I was gonna wear them for my outing so I decided to change them using transfiguration, but while doing so I thought, 'well, I'm already changing the color and the style, I might as well improve the materials too.'

  Celestium is an incredibly heavy element part of the second island of stability, it is considered a metal belonging to group 17 of the periodic table, though towards the end of the first island of stability, it kinda loses its usefulness in determining the general properties of elements, discovered somewhere in the twenty-third century by physicist Bianca Celeste, what is fascinating about this element and also my focus, is that due to the sheer distance between it's nuclei and the last of it's electrons, it has twelve pairing electrons capable of tiling a surface in perfect equilateral triangles with double bonded connections, creating the most powerful mono elemental material, after the perfection of graphene in the mid twenty-first century.

  So for the clothes, the different parts might look like fabrics and leather and the like, but the entire thing is made from layers of graphene and celestium sheets, roughly one layer of celestium per ten layer of graphene for about a total of a thousand layers in my jacket and boots and a little less in my other articles of clothing.

  The entire thing weighes roughly 50 KG which is why celestium was only used for space suits, but that's nothing a little levitation can't solve.

  The design isn't perfect mind you, had I tried to make an exact copy of the space suit, it would have been hundreds of times better, but trying to mesh two different concepts for clothing, weakened the engineering that had gone into making the space suits in favor of looks, but even this is more than enough to stop an armor piercing round going Mach 10 though unlike the space suit, it can't properly disperse it's force at those levels.

  I know it's overkill, specially since I'm not going anywhere dangerous today, but it's both practice and a proof of concept, proving that I can infact replicate at least some of the tech I'm familiar with.

  After I collected some more items that I put in my pockets and covering my head with the hood, with a mental tug I activated the perception filter then opened my room window to climb out of.

  Today like most days, is a rainy day, so there are no children out. The temperature had been hovering below 8 degrees Celsius but I'm not really worried about it, although graphene is an excellent thermal conductor, in this case it's sandwiched between layers of celestium so it'll be fine. I had kinda lost track of time but I guess it's nearing spring, though non of the trees have any buds in them yet.

  Although I have my filter, I'm not going through the house to get out, Brian might still notice me, and I don't want to take that chance, specially since it's Friday and if I fail I would have to wait until Monday to try again.

  from the window of my room there is a clear drop down with nothing but trees in the way, had I been older or more athletic, I could have made the jump and used the trees to climb down, even then though, I have a better solution, frowning in focus, I cast a weakened levitation charm on my self, and let myself fall like a feather. It's harder, I had realized, to cast movement magic on myself, with telekinesis, I couldn't even slow my fall, but it's not impossible as evidenced.

  As soon as I made it to the ground I broke into a sprint in the direction of the bus station, I made sure all my clothes are hydrophobic but I still don't want to be under rain for longer than necessary.

  As I reach the bus station I can't help but tremble in anticipation and excitement, this is my first step towards independence, and a personal house, and more importantly a lab.

  I can't wait to see what today will bring.
