“Erase? Can you please explain it, Jorden?” Asked Mischa.
“Of course!” Answered Jorden energetically. “This is just a name that I gave to my ability because the effect of my ability is similar to erasing something.”
Jorden then picked the teacup in front of him with his right hand that still had half of the tea left.
“Let’s see this tea inside the cup, it has nice color. It’s because there is a certain mixture inside the water. It’s delicious, and if you add sugar, it will become sweet. However, if I used my ability…” He said.
Jorden moved his left hand on top of the tea and suddenly the color of the tea changed, it became transparent like clear water.
“… this would happen.” Continued Jorden.
Anastasia couldn’t keep up with the conversation, but Mischa understood what happened. Erase, all things in this world were made from a lot of atoms.
Not only that, for example, the tea. It was a mixture of a lot of chemicals. Water was made from Hydrogen and Oxygen.
The tea that made the water had a taste was composed of chemicals too. Sugar was made from carbon atoms, hydrogen, and oxygen. The molecules were composed of Glucose and Fructose.
From what Mischa understood of Jorden’s ability, it was to erase molecules or a chemical structure from something.
“You can erase some mixture inside a chemical structure?” Asked Mischa.
“Correct! For example, I can erase the hydrogen from the water, and it will turn into pure oxygen.” As Jorden said that, the water suddenly disappeared.
No, it was more correct to call the water evaporated into oxygen, blending into the air.
“That’s a really convenient ability for researching. Also, fearsome ability to be used to humans.”
If Jorden erased a part that made humans Human, it would be a disaster. Depending on the user, it could be used for genocide or made evolution possible.
“Ah, I can’t use it on humans.” Answered Jorden, inviting another question from Mischa.
“Then how?” Asked Mischa.
“How can you lift up my brainwash?”
It was the question that she wanted to ask. From what Naomi told her, she was put into brainwash since she was a kid.
But, Jorden was able to lift it in a day. How did he do that?
“I erased the drug that went into your system. The brainwash came from Esper Ability. It added something into your brain, to make you feel chained and made you unable to do certain things.” Explained Jorden.
“It acted like some kind of drug. It greatly decreases your rational decision. Added with propaganda that was told to you since you were a kid, the brainwash worked perfectly without you noticing it.”
Mischa put her hand on her chin. If that was the case, then she understood it. Jorden erased some part of the drug that controlled her and made it harmless.
“The situation of Millie Taylor explained it. That girl was controlled, not brainwashed.” Said Jorden.
It was different. Mischa was only brainwashed, to limit her choice. However, Millie was controlled directly by Esper, the Esper’s power was planted inside her mind.
“Not only that, Millie Taylor was exposed to the same drug that brainwash you. I had erased it, but she will need times to recover.”
Jorden put the now-empty teacup to the table again. He looked at Mischa with a crazed smile on his face and asked.
“Anything else you wanted to ask?”
“I now understand about the brainwash. But, how can the Esper make the citizens go berserk? I know that the perfumes were the keys, but how? How can he control those guys?”
“Ah! Interesting question.” Answered Jorden.
He crossed his legs and spread his arms.
“To be honest, the one who found about the answer of the Riot was Princess. Millie Taylor is the key.”
“Millie Taylor is the key?” Asked Mischa, confused.
From what Jorden said, Millie Taylor was controlled. But, now she was the key of the Riot?”
“Indeed, Millie Taylor is the key. And the boy student that was controlled by the Esper that has brainwash ability is the key too. Do you know why?”
Mischa was now interested. Anastasia who didn’t understand anything tried her best to remember the conversation.
She was desperately listened to the conversation and remembered it. She had made the decision to be Jorden’s assistant.
Her goal was to survive, so she would do anything to survive. Even if that meant selling her soul and body.
However, just listening to the conversation wouldn’t change anything. So she tried to join.
“U-umm, is that because Millie Taylor has the ability to like … making the brainwash easier, maybe?” Said Anastasia as she raised her right hand slowly.
She was afraid that her answer would be wrong.
Mischa looked at Anastasia with a surprised face. She didn’t think that.
She then looked at Jorden and asked for confirmation.
“Is that true?”
“Yes! As expected of the assistant that I choose!” Praised Jorden. He stood up and spread his arms, intending to hug Anastasia.
However, Anastasia raised her hands in guard, making Jorden stop in his track, and sat down again.
“A-ahaha…I-it’s nothing.”
Mischa now changed her view when she looked at Anastasia. At first, she thought that Anastasia was just a dumb girl who was taken hostage by Naomi because she found out about her identity. But, it looked like Naomi brought Anastasia here because of some reason.
Mischa then looked at Jorden.
“So, what made Millie Taylor the key of the riot? Her ability?”
“That’s correct. It’s her ability.” Answered Jorden after he regained his calm.
“Millie Taylor's ability is rare. She’s able to see human brainwaves. We don’t know how the ability works because of her state, but I can make a deduction based on what she told me.”
Mischa’s brain now fully functioning. She was thinking about how the brainwash worked, in order to stop it if she was subjected to it again.
She had Adjustment, so she could adjust her body as she pleased. She had planned to ask Naomi to teach her Adjustment, as from what she saw, Naomi was proficient on it, and she had two abilities like her.
“The brainwasher controlled Millie Taylor and see the brainwave of the human. He then use his own blood to be the medium for his power and sent one command through it. He wasn’t able to give a complex order, but an order to make a ruckus will be understood easily as all humans know how to make a mess.” Explained Jorden.
“I see, I understand now. Thanks for telling me. I need to make preparation to make sure that I will not be brainwashed again.” Said Mischa as she smiled.
“You’re welcome.” Answered Jorden.
