Luis was struggling with his breath because the boy had a firm grip on his throat, he was caught off guard by the whole situation, sure some people never felt comfortable whenever someone was constantly looking at them but they never reacted like this and what was he talking about level?
"Don't play with me boy" he said."You know that area is for level five's and above"
"I don't know what you are talking about" Luis struggled to say, he was suffocating him.
The boy looked away as if trying to contemplate whether he should believe him or not when he turned his gaze back to him and let go of his throat, Luis crashed on the floor holding his throat, finally, he could breathe again.
"You see that line over there," he said pointing at a line that was drawn on the floor of the hallway like a demarcation.
Luis nodded, he was still holding his throat.
"You are not allowed to cross" he was speaking like a teacher who was trying to educate his students on certain rules."I may have let you go easily but if the others had seen you I doubt they will do the same, but I guess you are a new intake and there's no need to start getting harsh" Luis was surprised by how the tone of his voice had changed from cruel to soothing another thing was that he couldn't take his eyes off the bowl of potato chips that were on his head, they haven't even moved or tilted after all his movements it was as if there was a magnet there holding it in that position.
"What's your name?" the boy asked.
"Luis," Luis said while slowly getting up on his feet.
"You can call me Nate" he felt the urgency to tell Luis his name before he asked.
Nate was a level four student in the school and his special ability was telekinesis, that's why that bowl was able to float but not all telekinesis users could do that though, the school had a way of ranking their students' power level and that was the clothes, Level fours like Nate himself were to put on the red uniform and by his reaction towards Luis you could tell that the orange uniform belonged to level one's, level two's had to put on the blue uniform while level three's had to put on green one's, once any student got to level five he would be given the black version of the uniform while level six students had to wear the white uniform.
As Luis got up from the floor he still had his gaze fixed on the bowl of chips, he wanted to ask Nate how he was doing it.
"Do you have a special ability?" Nate asked noticing the way he was looking at his head.
"No" Luis answered shaking his head.
"Your family weren't lucky heh," he said bringing down the bowl of chips on his head." But don't worry people still get strong without having special abilities," he said putting some, chips in his mouth.
Luis felt irritated by the crunchy sounds coming out from his mouth now but he wanted to ask him about his special ability, but before he could say anything Nate had already started explaining his ability and how it worked.
Telekinetic ability was an ability that allowed you to be able to move an object just by using your mind and thinking of moving it, for low-level telekinetic users they had to use their hand before the object could correspond to their movement but as they advance in level they get to learn how to move the objects without even moving a bone in their body, Nate didn't go into all these details he just told him that the ability allowed him to move objects without touching the
"You have to go now," he said pointing back at where the red line demarcation was.
"When you get there, you can ask them and they'll show you"
"Ok" Luis muttered and continued walking, he didn't know who Luis meant by them but he didn't want to disturb him any longer and continued walking.' I'll figure it out he thought.
Nate watched Luis until he was out of sight, he was trying to get his head in one place, just why did he let that boy go without any beating? and worse he even talked to him, told him his name, and told him to return to his section, that was something he would never do, once a level one or anyone below four crossed their line he would give the student a beating and then throw him back without asking a question, but for Luis, it had all been different, it was as if his body refused to hit me, that was strange, that's why he let him go and tried to warn him instead, whatever that feeling was he didn't want to feel it around other people or else it will make vulnerable.
As Luis made his walk through the hallway he noticed that there was no longer any clustering of students like he had seen before, then something caught his attention, he bent down to pick what looked like a coin.
'That's just like the money we use in Asaka' he thought while picking up the coin.
He was about to bring the coin up when his body started feeling uneasy, what's wrong he thought, just then a message appeared on his screen, but the only word he could make out from the message was detected which was the last word, the rest of the word was greyed, that didn't make sense, he thought, but he was still having this feeling like something was unsettling in the hallway like something dangerous was in his presence right now.
He was afraid to move until finally, he saw a shoe step in front of him, he slowly raised his head to see a man, who judging by the way he looked seemed to be in his early thirties if there was anything like a beautiful man, that would be the category this man would fall into, he was simply breathtaking, with his curly black hair and well-drafted face, his eyes looked like someone would burn in them if they got close and his mouth and nose was something Luis had never seen before.
"What are you doing out here"
Luis quickly stood straight, he didn't have any explanation but that wasn't he was worried now, just looking at this man was increasing that feeling of danger he was having.
"I...I" he stuttered.
The man shot his gaze, which scared him, he was looking directly into his eyes and Luis' head started to ache.
[ Interference with the mind has been blocked ]
With that message, the ache immediately disappeared.
'Just what was that?' Luis thought.
The man blinked his eyes a few times and his eyes seemed to return to normal.
"Return to your class," he said pointing at the closest door to them and Luis immediately knew that was his class.
They both parted ways and the man walked until he came to a corner around the hallway.
"How was my mind read unable to work on him?" confusion was clear in his voice.." The lord must have an explanation for this," he said and disappeared.
