Chapter 12 - Agawa's Astuteness

"I mean their language"

"For the fucks sake what about…wait… their language? Shit it's so obvious." Kelly's mind raced to process the implications. How were they able to understand each other if they were supposed to be in a completely different world? Hope flickered within him, but Agawa quickly extinguished it.

"The movement of their lips didn't match the words we heard. The meaning is simple: what we heard was in Japanese, but the language they spoke was different." Agawa's words cut through the confusion, leaving Kelly with a deep sense of disappointment. However, Kelly's eyes widened in realization as Agawa explained the peculiar phenomenon. The language barrier that should have existed in this unfamiliar world seemed to be nonexistent for them. Agawa's words hit him like a revelation.

"HOW ARE YOU"

"You just asked 'how are you' right"

Kelly asked that question in English, but Agawa was able to hear it in Japanese, Kelly was ashamed that someone had to point that out to him, Kelly recalled the moment when the Priest first spoke. He had been too overwhelmed to make sense of it, but now he understood. He had initially heard the words in English, his preferred language, but Agawa was hearing them in Japanese. It was as if their minds were translating the language automatically, bridging the communication gap. Kelly knew Japanese like back of his hand but if asked which language he would feel most comfortable in that is without a doubt he will pick English and right now too. Whatever Agawa was speaking he could hear it in English when he was without a doubt speaking Japanese.

The realization left him even more bewildered about the nature of their current predicament. Just as he was understanding the implications of it all, Agawa continued.

"And that's not all too"

'There is more.'

Kelly thought to himself, astonished by Agawa's observation skills. In a time of confusion and fear, while everyone was grappling with the unknown, Agawa was calmly analyzing their situation. It was a display of astuteness that commanded Kelly's admiration.

"Ever since I came here, I can feel a surge of power running through my whole body, and not just any power I feel like I can cross a mountain with a jump or destroy anything with a single punch, it's something I haven't felt before don't you feel it too"

Agawa's words piqued Kelly's curiosity even further. Kelly was not sure what to make of that. He described a surge of power coursing through his body since their arrival in this new world. It was not just any power but something extraordinary, a sensation of immense strength capable of feats like leaping over mountains or demolishing obstacles with a single punch. Kelly hesitated for a moment, but trusting in Agawa he tried to feel it too. Closing his eyes, he focused on his own body, trying to sense any trace of this newfound power. As he opened his eyes, a shocked expression overtook his face, confirming Agawa's statement.

The realization of their shared abilities brought a mix of awe and apprehension. Kelly couldn't help but wonder what other surprises awaited them.

"Yeah, you're right. I don't feel anything extreme like you, but it feels like I've become stronger than before, significantly stronger. What is happening?"

"Not only that, try focusing on your senses, and you'll see what I mean." Agawa's voice carried a sense of excitement. Kelly followed his advice, concentrating on his senses, and to his amazement, he felt a surge of heightened awareness. He could hear the subtle sounds of his classmates breathing, discern the different scents of their perfumes, and if he focused enough, he could even see far beyond his usual visual range.

"Whoaaa", Kelly exclaimed, impressed by the newfound clarity of his senses. Even he starts getting excited feeling all these new changes inside his body, after all who dislikes getting stronger not Kelly for sure, because for once after coming to this world kelly isn't feeling that unfortunate.

"I know, right?" Agawa replied, a hint of excitement in his voice.

"But why are you telling me all of this shouldn't you be better off discussing this with your friends about this"

While Kelly was thankful for what he was told he didn't know what to make up for the fact that Agawa was discussing this with him instead of his close friends, to this Agawa gave an unexpected answer.
