Volume 2 Chapter 2 How To Use Telekinesis
The sun began to rise, still in the dim light of early morning.
Elk woke up and stretched widely.
He got out of bed, did a light stretch, and opened the window.
Taking a deep breath of the outside air──*smack*──he slapped his cheek.
"Alright, let's go!"
Elk jumped out of the window in his pajamas.
While falling, he activated Telekinesis with both hands pointed toward the ground, and his body floated up.
──Floating with Telekinesis.
Now it was a power he could use easily, but 2,000 years ago... well, to be exact, 1,800 years ago. Back then, just lifting his body was a huge challenge.
"Alright, time for some practice!!"
Elk crossed his legs in the air and slowly rose... stopping at the height of the clouds.
It was cold up there. But since he was covered by the Telekinesis field, it didn't feel cold.
Elk remembered Pipina's words.
'Telekinesis training, number 285... Float in a cross-legged position while lifting a thousand small stones at the same time, and break all of them with just one stone. If even one piece falls to the ground, you have to start over~'
Super hard difficulty.
Elk used to think that way. But after about 170 years of training, he got the hang of it.
While still floating, Elk wiggled his 5 fingers.
Then, from a radius of 50km (≈ 31 miles) around the Galatinne Kingdom, exactly one thousand small stones that could be held in his hand floated up around him.
"───Here we go."
Elk used his index finger to control one of the small stones.
"Coating... and launch!"
He wrapped mental energy around the stone and shot it toward another small stone.
The stone shattered into pieces, and the fragments fell to the ground... but he kept all the pieces floating in the air.
Furthermore, Elk launched small stones at another rock, shattering it, launching again, shattering again... repeating this process.
Only 2 stones remained. Elk was sweating heavily as he aimed.
"Haah, haah, haah...!"
Elk floated in the air, skillfully controlling the small stones around him with his telekinetic abilities
Doing all of this at once was extremely difficult.
But Elk was managing it.
And then... the last small stone shattered, and Elk relaxed.
"All done~..."
Elk fell towards the ground.
Plummeting from several thousand meters high, straight down.
"Ah~~~~~~~~~... this feels great."
The fall felt good.
A nice breeze flowed through his body.
Elk loved the view while falling.
But if he kept this up, he would die... Elk slowly descended with telekinesis... returning to his room in the student dorm.
"Morning training, done!"
All this 'torture'... was the best 'training' for Elk.
* * *
For breakfast, he could usually eat in the cafeteria, but... the cafeteria wasn't open yet. It would officially start after the entrance ceremony, so Elk skipped breakfast.
Leaving the dorm with an empty stomach, he saw Emma.
"Mr. Elk, good morning!"
"...Good morning, Emma."
"Hehe, are you maybe hungry for breakfast?"
"Yeah... ugh, the cafeteria isn't open."
"I made sandwiches just in case!"
"Emma!!"
He almost hugged her but held back.
Then, Nickes, looking pale, came out of the boys' dorm.
"Oh... damn, the cafeteria isn't open?"
"Hey, Nickes."
"Yo, Mr. Elk... huh? What's that?"
"Sandwiches. Hehe, made by Emma."
"Give me one!!"
"No way!!"
"Please!!"
"No way!!"
"Pleaseeeeee!!"
"Mr. Elk, there's plenty, so it's okay, right?"
"Emmy!! How about it, Elk? Isn't it great!?"
"...Alright."
Elk reluctantly takes the basket that Emma was holding.
"Oh, Ms. Merry is preparing tea, so let's go to the central plaza, Mr. Elk."
"Merry is?"
"Yes. She said, while I was making sandwiches, at least let her have the tea..."
"Merry, even as my little sister, is so cute."
Nickes is grinning.
There's still a lot of time until the entrance ceremony. Having breakfast while drinking tea in the central plaza isn't a bad idea.
When they arrive at the central plaza, there are quite a few students there.
In the central plaza, there's a fountain, and many long benches and wooden tables are set up.
"It seems like a lot of people eat breakfast here."
"Where's Ms. Merry... oh, there she is!"
Merry is at one of the long tables. But... something seems off.
There are 3 other students with Merry.
Elk notices.
"Something feels strange."
"Could it be..."
Nickes starts running.
Elk and Emma follow him, and it turns out to be just as he thought.
A big boy is saying something to Merry. Behind the big boy, there's a boy who looks somewhat elegant and another boy with a rat-like face.
Merry tells the big boy.
"Stop it! This is the spot I took first, okay? I'm not giving it up to you who came later!"
"Hey, hey, hey. How dare you be so cheeky as a commoner? This is the first son of the Baron Paisley, Sir Marcos. You don't know his name?"
"I don't know about that. Besides, the important one isn't the young master behind you, but Baron, right? Isn't it embarrassing to say 'give me your seat' like that?"
Elk thought this was going too far.
As expected, the noble boy stepped forward.
"To insult a noble, you have some courage, young lady... What's your name?"
"I have no name to tell you."
"Well, well... Chuta, do it."
"*Squeak, squeak* Yes."
When the rat-faced boy whistled, several rats appeared at Merry's feet.
"Ah!?"
"Gambo."
"Yes, Sir Marcos."
Gambo, the big boy, reached out to grab Merry's arm as she tried to avoid the rats.
He was trying to intimidate her.
She was a cheeky commoner girl, but her face was cute.
Her body wasn't bad either. Marcos said so with a lewd expression, thinking of touching Merry's chest... but.
"───!?"
Gambo's hand stopped.
It was as if time had frozen.
In that moment, Merry took a back step to create some distance.
"Merry!"
"Brother!"
"Are you okay? Did anything weird happen?"
"No. Somehow."
"───ugh."
As if Gambo's time started moving again, his outstretched hand sliced through the air.
"W-what the!? What did you do to me!? What kind of skill is this!?"
"...I don't understand."
"Tch... Hey Gambo, what are you doing? Chuta, do it."
"Y-yes, understood."
"Damn it!! This girl!!"
Chuta tried to whistle to call the rats, and Gambo reached out with both hands... but.
"!?"
"Ugh!?"
Chuta's lips seemed to be stuck and wouldn't move, and Gambo's body froze in place.
And then───Elk stepped forward, raising his right hand to protect Merry.
Elk said to Marcos.
"Just stop it already."
"...Is that your skill?"
"Yeah. It's Telekinesis."
"Huh? Wait, Telekinesis? Hahaha!! That's a useless skill, isn't it!? Are you really planning to enroll with Telekinesis?"
"That's the plan."
"...Your jokes aren't funny. I don't know what you did, but let Gambo and Chuta go."
"Sure. Here you go."
When he released Telekinesis, the two started moving.
Chuta checked his mouth, and Gambo checked his body.
Marcos said to them.
"Here's your order. Beat him up."
"...Okay."
"*Squeak squeak* Is it really okay?"
"Yeah. I don't mind."
"──Hey, stop it."
Elk tried to stop them, but Marcos wasn't listening.
Marcos raised his right hand and pointed it straight at Elk.
"Both of you, go for it!!"
""Okay!! ───...""
"I said, stop it."
Just by Elk raising his right hand, the two didn't move at all.
Since it was a good opportunity, he decided to finish it.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Using Telekinesis, he made them face each other.
Then, he moved Gambo's arm───and released Telekinesis.
"Buho!?"
"Ahh!? S-sorry!!"
Gambo's fist slammed into Chuta's face.
Elk used Telekinesis to move Gambo's arm and made him punch Chuta right in the face.
This surprised Marcos as well.
"W-what did you do!?"
"I just controlled him with Telekinesis."
"Wh-What are you saying!! It's Telekinesis, you know...!?"
"Are you still going to do it?"
"──No, I-I'll pass."
Marcos abandoned Gambo and Chuta and ran away.
When Elk opened his fingers, Gambo and Chuta ran away as if following him.
"Alright. Let's eat!"
"Wait, wait. Hey Elk... what did you do?"
"I just used Telekinesis to stop their movements."
"...Seriously?"
"Anyway, let's eat!"
The sandwich was said to be very delicious.
