KINETIC

Leo's group had just reached the military base and were currently in an alleyway close to the bases entrance.

The base had a front gate just large enough for a carriage to fit through and a stone wall running alone the edge of the entire base. There were currently 2 guards standing watch at the entrance.

Between the wall and building at the center was an open area that was used for training and other activities. At the center of the base was a singular building similar in size and shape to the academy.

Leo was peeking around the corner of the alley and was looking for the best way to get into the base. Cain amd Clay were just behind Leo and further into the alley.

"Leo!" Clay whispered loudly trying to get his attention. Leo stopped looking at the base and turned to look at Clay.

"Yeah, what is it?" Leo asked, not quite as softly as Clay had.

"We should change our clothes. If we get spotted but manage to get away, they would still know we're from the academy. So we should wear regular clothes going forward." Clay said while digging through his bag and pulling out some clothes for himself.

Leo nodded and walked further into the alley. He made sure the other two couldn't see him and pulled some clothes out of his storage ring.

It's the same clothes he always wears, the black button up shirt with the sleeves rolled up, the long black pants and somewhat formal looking black shoes.

The clothes were above average in quality and were actually very well made. Leo put the clothes on and placed his military uniform into his storage ring.

When Leo walked back to the others they were surprised by the clothes he had on. They had only seen clothes of this quality from people with a decent amount of money.

Clay and Cain each felt a little self conscious about their own clothes when comparing them to Leo's. They looked at each others clothes as well, trying to at least see if they were on par with each other.

Clay had long light brown pants on with shoes to match. His white shirt was also long sleeved but it wasn't a button up. He had a reddish brown vest over his shirt.

Cain had similar clothes on, except his shirt was a light brown, his pants were darker and his shoes black. He also didn't have a vest on.

These were the common types of clothes that most people would wear. Cain and Clay actually had slightly higher quality clothes than most commoners.

Leo continued back towards the corner and continued to look at the base. Clay came up and stood just next to and slightly behind Leo.

"You have any idea on how to get in yet?" Clay asked while also looking at the base.

"Yes. You see over there." Leo pointed to a section of the wall on the right side of the base. "That part of the base has the least light, so if we get over the wall over there, then we should have the best chance of not being spotted."

"Once we have made it in, I'll use my ability to keep track of all the movement around us so that we can avoid the guards. Once inside I'll continued to do that while we search for the files we need." Leo explained his plan just as Cain arrived next to them as well.

"It's as a good a plan as we could ask for. Let's just hope it all works out." Clay said with a nervous smile.

Leo looked directly at Cain "Remember, no fighting. These aren't our enemies. If you are seen, run." Leo said for the 10th time since they started walking here.

"Yeah I know, geez, it's like you guys think all I can do his fight." Cain replied with an annoyed tone.

Leo looked at Clay next "How small can you make yourself?" He asked.

"I could pass for a small child, for now that's all I can do." Clay answered.

"Alright. Make yourself as small as you can and hold onto my back, I'll take us over the wall. Cain, you should be able to jump that high if you lighten yourself, right?" Leo asked.

"Piece of cake." Cain replied confidently.

Leo nodded and the three of them began sneaking around to the part of the wall he had pointed to earlier.

There wasn't anyone near the outside of the wall so it was easy to get there. Until ability users appeared, nobody would have been able to get over this wall easily. So until now there was no need to keep a strict watch.

'The military is going to have to change their bases and their tactics in defense and attack if they want to be on par with ability users. This is too easy for us.' Clay thought to himself.

The wall was around 6 meters in height and 1 meter thick. When they got to the right spot Clay shrunk his body to the size of a small child that would be around 8 years old. Leo bent down and Clay jumped onto his back as Leo channeled energy into his legs.

Cain lightened himself as much as possible and jumped at the same time as Leo. Leo grabbed onto the wall as he reached the top and swung over to the other side, hanging from the ledge before letting go.

Leo had only used Redirect once but he had come up with an idea of how he could use it outside of combat.

While falling from the wall Leo used redirect to take some of the force from falling and allow it to disperse behind him. This allowed Leo to slow his fall slightly.

He would have just absorbed energy to slow his fall but Leo currently had all his energy and couldn't absorb any more.

Cain jumped clear over the wall and floated down to the ground safely. It was like watching someone jump with low gravity.

As soon as Leo touched the ground a sound was heard in his head.
