Chapter 9: C 9. Little Tiger
The bird looked around and chirped, behaving like an actual bird.
"This is my ability. It's a formless energy that can shape into any animal." The bird's shape changed again, turning to a tiny tiger. The tiger quickly jumped off the palm and landed on the table, it ran to Amina and started growling.
"It takes on the instinct and behaviour of animals it was shaped into. Now, it is showing that Amina is the most dangerous among us here table."
Amina doesn't seem to mind what the tiny tiger was doing, she was even trying to caress its body, but the tiger keeps jumping around, avoiding her touch.
"Can it be touched? I see it was made up of… fog or mist." Saying that Amina quickly snatched the tiny tiger in a gentle but fast manner. Once the tiger was in her hands it became obedient and stopped growling.
Amina answered, "If it was not solid, I think it will be floating around, and it may not be able to make any sound."
"Let me show you something," Mharoni said before she closed her eyes. The tiny Tiger turned to pure energy and reformed.
That makes sense, it was growling, and the bird earlier was chirping. That means somehow the animal must have some solid parts in them.
The same thing happened, it ran and growled at Amina before it turned its head to Richard Zhen and growled. The next person was Abe, it growled at him too.
Strangely enough, it only watched me from a distance, without coming closer to growl at me as it did to the rest.
"I know how to fight, hand to hand. At least it should give me some credits for that, by the Tiger acted as if I am not even worth being a threat."
"You have no ability!?" Mharoni said when she opened her eyes. The eyes are now golden orange.
They all looked at me strangely, scrutinizing my face. "His left eye iris is super dark and the other is normal Brown. Isn't that abnormal mutations caused by ability?" Abe was the first to ask.
"One of my iris is black?" This is the first time I'm hearing this. I looked around searching for any smooth reflective surface to check it, but nothing.
It turns out that the facility prevents any mirror-like surface from existing. Even if one looked at a stationary reflective water, somehow it will blurry the face. You can only see your face with a mirror if one requests It from the attendant.
With all the weirdness that is trending, my black and brown eyesight was the same. I even tested to see if it has some powers from it, but it turns out they are the same.
As for why Mharoni couldn't sense any ability from me is a mystery to me. Amina was super excited thinking that she is not alone in strangeness. I did not know what she meant but eventually, I will.
The tiger was busy jumping on the table trying to attack Amina, "Can you shape it into a human?"
"Yes, but it has no instinct of any kind," Mharoni said. I have to say the ability seems fascinating. And if Mharoni becomes stronger, she may shape a powerful tiger to fight for her.
As if Mharoni read my mind, she said, "The size and the shape of the animal depend on the amount of energy I can emit. Not only that, I can't fight with it: it is still pure formless energy."
"So you used it mainly to reconnaissance?"
She nodded at me. "It's a friend. I like Tiger and Parrot. They make a good pet.
"Oh yeah, I will show my ability!" Amina jumped up to stand. She stood posing by resting tiny hands on her waist. She tilted her head back a little looking down on me with a haughty and arrogant expression.
"Nope, you will not." Mharoni grabs Amina and sits her back. "You will cause so much commotion, and we will be punished for that."
"But I can control it." She yelled trying to break free, her legs shoving the plates to the floor. That caused the whole plates and cups we have breakfast with float back on the platform and the platform floated toward the ceiling and disappeared.
"Instead of showing him your ability, how about you tell him about your origin as a native in London."
"Nope, I'm not a native of London, I'm an Arab girl from Iraq. But my parents work in London sometimes!" Her mood swing is instantaneous.
"And stop calling me a London native, those reports you read aren't true."
"Okay calm down. If he reaches phase 3, you can take him to the arena, then you can show him." Mharoni said, trying to pacify her.
An alarm blared. People started leaving the hall. Zhen also stood and said, "It is time for classes." He walked away following his earlier friends. He is mysterious.
"Balarabe, nice meeting you." Mharoni extended her hand for a handshake, she quickly retracts it and chuckled.
I smiled back at her too. I say goodbye to them. Amina waved at me before walking with Mharoni out of the hall.
Abe was the last person I said goodbye to before left me alone at the table.
I watched everyone leave until I was the last in the hall. The double doors were wide opened and the hall was very quiet. I stay last to watch everyone. Trying to carve their face in my mind.
I was leaving the hall when I heard a voice.
"Your first interaction is satisfactory...
What is your impression about Amina?"
I turned around and saw a screen, showing the earlier Psychiatrist. He was in the room I was taken to, this morning.
"She is cute," I answered
He asked me more questions all about my impression of the Mharoni and the rest. He even made me narrate in detail what I saw in Abe's eyes, he also asked what I meant when I said Amina's presence made me feel rejuvenated.
He asked other series of questions that don't seem to be important.
….
The projection disappeared. I turned around to leave when I saw Brandon and Peter standing behind me. As usual, I followed them out of the hall.
This time ten people were standing in front of the class. "These will be your classmates," says Brandon before they leave.
From my observation, this facility has different people from different nations. That applies to these classmates of mine.
Each one of them has a different temperament, skin colour, and when they speak, their accents are different.
