Reborn: My Two Systems at War

Chapter 29: Telekinesis VI

Three days later:

Twenty metal balls orbited in the darkness around the figure of the platinum-haired girl. In a hushed tranquility, she stood there in the center of the spherical metal chamber, her delicate eyelids pressed together.

Abruptly, her eyes opened, revealing her glowing irisesa symphony of resonant clangs cascaded across the spherical metallic chamber as the orbs gracefully landed on the metal floor, each impact reverberating with a thunderous cadence.

Tia's expression bloomed into a radiant grin, her gaze affixed to the ethereal text that floated before her eyes.

"Finally," she whispered, a mixture of exhaustion and triumph coursing through her veins. The culmination of her relentless effort, the dangerous battles, and the perils she faced had finally yielded their long-awaited reward.

Unmindful of the chill seeping from the metal beneath her, she sank onto the floor and hugged her pale knees, her consciousness already adrift, consumed by an insatiable curiosity and an exhilarating rush of excitement.

Tia briefly looked into her status and nodded, seeing she had fifteen Esper points in total.

'Telekinetic scan? I already know how to do it myself.' She once more skipped over all the weak and low-tier techniques, knowing they were easy to develop on her own.

A surge of pride welled within her chest, a triumphant sensation as if she had outsmarted the System, learning a skill on her own before it had even been presented.

As her excitement subsided, her attention was momentarily captivated by the concept of fortifying her physical capabilities through muscle reinforcement, 'You know what, System? This has potential,' she admitted, nodding thoughtfully.

'Thanks for the inspiration. With some experimentation, I can likely replicate this technique, bolstering my close-quarters combat potential and even elevating my agility.'

With the techniques gone, she focused on the most eye-catching part, 'Cells, levitation organ, and more brain stuff.'

Each option held enticing potential, yet they demanded a significant investment, prompting her to contemplate deeply over each selection.

'For now, levitation seems unnecessary. It will not add anything I truly need,' What she needed were short bursts of speed, a demand she could already fulfill better with other options.

She has already witnessed the power of multitasking and how useful it is. The only thing that stopped her from taking it was her reluctance to mess with her brain to such a degree.

Her initial reluctance dissolved, giving way to a vibrant grin as she recollected peculiar cases she had heard of. 'Humans being born with only half a brain, and they manage relatively well,' she recalled, finding reassurance in the context. 'This adaptation is small in comparison, and the system should know what it is doing.'

Her smile expanded, revealing her immaculate white teeth as she shifted her focus toward the cell adaptation. 'I must take it. This will also boost my witch powers, no, all of my powers, likely even those I will gain in the future.'

Witches were as dependent on the mysterious energy as espers, making Tia's eyes shine in joy as she found the true potential of her two systems.

Even during her last crafting session, she experienced the burning sensation of her body being overstrained by the channeling mana across it.

'If some of the systems offer me an option to improve something about my energy, I must always take it! This is the path of absolute synergy, boosting even the powers gained through the other System.'

Midway through her thought, a shiver suddenly cascaded down Tia's spine, a stark reminder that she had momentarily lost herself in her thoughts.

The frigid touch of the metal floor under her ass jolted her senses, serving as a stark contrast to the fervor that had enveloped her moments before and a reminder she wasn't in her room. As her awareness rekindled, a gentle chuckle escaped her lips, an acknowledgment of how easily she could become ensnared by her own aspirations.

'I should continue in my room.'

Rising from her seated position, Tia stretched her arms and legs with satisfaction. Infused with anticipation, she took purposeful strides toward the exit, a playful smile adorning her lips.

(AN: I am open to your suggestion on how to spend the rest of the points. So, do not hesitate to write a comment.)
