Chapter 3: A good start
"You know about the attack?"
One of the men in the walking convoy I joined asks nervously, his fear of me clearly present in his voice as I open my eyes to look him in the eye and use my telepathy to see if he has any suspicions of me but, I relax as I see that he just wants to see if I am in a good mood.
"You mean the attack on the Vaskus estate? Yeah, I heard it was a move by the revolutionaries."
It's been a week now since I landed in this world and after my little stunt, I got as far away from the estate as I could and landed in a forest full of mutant filth.
At first, I wanted to get out of here quickly, but then, I remembered something important, I had at my disposal a multitude of training targets to master my powers, so I stayed in this forest to train, luckily, there were no beasts powerful enough to cause me serious problems.
After a few days of practice and discovering my various abilities, I decided to reach civilization by following a random route that eventually led me to this convoy of merchants heading to the capital empire.
At first, they tried to capture me when I asked them to take me with them, but after a few bodies were reduced to a pile of deformed flesh thanks to my psychokinesis, they quickly understood that their lives can end with the snap of a finger depending on my mood.
And so, here I am now calmly lying next to one of the guys leading the convoy of five big carts and even though I close my eyes and look like I'm not doing anything, in truth, I'm using the ten or so merchants as well as the armed soldiers that serve as their escort as a training target for my telepathy.
I slowly infiltrate their minds, give them suggestions through their thoughts, attack their minds, that kind of thing.
Their minds being devoid of psychic defense, it's very easy to infiltrate their thoughts, even though I know for a fact that people like Esdeath will be much harder to deal with, but I don't worry, it's only a matter of time before I can subdue this psychotic ice bitch.
Honestly, I'm going to the city just because I miss the comforts of the city a little.... fine, okay, I want to enjoy all the things that the capital has to offer, hookers, drugs, booze, and so on.
I'll stay for a few days and then go back to training in the forest full of steroid-fueled crap, so I can destroy anyone who wants my head.
"How long until we get there?" I ask without opening my eyes to the merchant next to me who continues to squirm in fear, which amuses me greatly, I must say.
"We arrive in...." I tilt my head to the side to dodge the rifle bullet that was intended for my head, so I don't end up like the merchant, who now has his mouth wide open and a hole between his eyes.
'Seriously, Night Raid? Just my fucking luck.' I sigh as I feel the dozen or so assassins quickly exterminate the merchants and their escorts in a matter of minutes.
One of the assailants who is armed with a sword quickly closes in and once he is a good distance away, he leaps at me, his sword aimed at my head.
I snort at his pathetic attempt before breaking both his arms with my psychokinesis and smile with satisfaction as I see him rolling around in pain on the ground.
The fighting stops to watch the show, when suddenly one of the seven surviving merchants walks up to me to speak with hope in his voice. "Sir, the cargo we are delivering belongs to a nobleman in the capital, help us, and I will tell the nobleman about it, so you can be rewarded."
My smile stretches at the offer, but before I can respond, another voice is heard. "You should just get out of here before it gets ugly, son."
A man and a woman emerge from the forest, the man is old, quite tall, with white hair and beard, brown eyes, and a stern look, the woman has pale skin, light red hair, and pink eyes, a mischievous and confident look on her face.
"It seems that you are not with them, so I will let you go, you should take this chance, young man." Says the old man as he looks me straight in the eye, but I can clearly see in those thoughts that he is worried about the ability I have just shown and that he does not wish to face an unknown enemy.
A simple thought reading is enough for me to see his power level, and I snort with mocking when I see that he doesn't even have a Teigu.
Those eyes harden at my scornful look before he sighs.
{Punch in the chest}
His thoughts being competently open to me as well as my Extrasensory Perception having already picked up his movement, I have no trouble predicting his movement and as he moves at a blinding speed towards me, I teleport behind Chelsea, and before anyone understands what is happening, Chelsea's head is ripped from her body.
"DAMN IT." Seeing one of those subordinates die, the old man rushes to charge towards me, but once again, I teleport to the side of another member of the night raid, away from the old man who watches me kill another of those subordinates without being able to stop me.
"FIRE." At his command, the ten or so assassins point their guns in my direction and rain down their bullets
'Pathetic.' I use my psychokinesis to stop the bursts of bullets that continue to float around me.
With a single thought, the bullets turn around towards their owners with my psychic energy surrounding them and before any of them react, the enhanced bullets went all over the place, piercing the Night Raid members and turning them into sieves.
'I'm getting really good at this.'
As the bodies fall to the ground, I can feel the old man trying to flee, smiling, I hold out my palm in his direction before focusing my psychic energy.
A small reddish-black sphere appears in front of my palm and despite its small size, the power in my psychic sphere slowly begins to gush out because of its power.
Once charged enough, I throw the psychic ball, and it moves at high speed toward the old man who is not fast enough to outrun it, and once the ball is only a few meters away from him.
*BOOM*
A gigantic explosion destroys a large part of the forest and almost sends me and the convoy flying.
"Yeah, I'm getting really good with this shit."
