Telepathy, with different ways of interpretation, could've meant both one way or two way communication. For example, if she can attempt to 'write' her speech right into my brain, and 'read' my response towards it. It is basically her creating a wireless communication on her own. No, even if it is 'wired' communication that requires body contact, it is still a breakthrough.
Still, the thought of Selene being in physical contact with me… Heh… ehehee..
Ehm!
I went to the academy to find Selene. Unlike Mira and me, Selene didn't have the special grant from the kingdom to conduct her own research. She is a proper second year student here.
"So you still remembered me." Selene pouted.
"Of course. You are my no. 1 heroine that saved my life. It was previously that…"
I was silenced with her smile. She knew the circumstances clearly and was seemingly trying to tease me earlier.
"So what is the event for the day?" She continued. Hey, I don't organise events daily okay? Still, you are spot on. I did have a new research intended for you.
"We'll talk as we move." Same with Mira, I am not discussing on someone's AA just standing at the public hallway.
"A male, and a female, alone in a room. There is only one thing you would want from me."
"In an unlocked room, I did have something I want from you. And that is discussing your AA." I cut her off. No, not going to the loli jail.
She gave me a joking "disappointed" pout and waited for my further comment.
"Like I did for Mira. But you had a delayed turn. But that doesn't mean your impact is anywhere less significant. For starters, try and focus your mana back to your head and project that mana to mine. Oh, without turning it to vines."
"Like… this..?" She tried.
Yes, this. I thought.
Kei?
Good. We established a short conversation.
"Nice. We call it a day for now. Your break is almost over. I shall meet you here during the weekends."
"So eager of asking me on weekend dates already?"
"You can interpret it that way."
————
"Hence, the conclusion of my report today on Kei."
"Understood, dismissed."
"Yes. Your Highness."
The guy also mentioned about requesting information specifically on Selene. The difference is, this one is specifically directed to a single person instead of a general request like my "guang" as the dude described. Kei took action immediately on learning Selene's AA. What surprise would he get us? Time to sleep, the days experimenting with a dagger is tiring.
————
"Mom~?" I tested my ability on mom. My parents also didn't know what my AA is. So I am giving them a surprise.
"?" Nobody is in the room. Neither darling nor Selene is back home.
"I'm back~" I added.
"???" I must be hallucinating.
"I'm back!" A male voice broke the silence.
"Listen here, dar. I think I am hallucinating here…"
I let mom finish before I…
"Dad?"
"????? Me too?"
"I'm back~" still playing with my ability while opening the door.
"Oh welcome home." X2
"What's for dinner?" I asked while staring at them. My lips totally didn't move an inch.
"Chicken Ste-"
"Wait." X2
She didn't move her lips right?
"Mum? Dad?"
"Nothing. It is on us."
"Yes, mom, dad. And no. In no way you are hallucinating." I finally moved my lips.
"You knew?"
"Why, but yes. It's on me." I resumed with my playing.

Weekend
I am stunned by Selene's beauty. No, specially, Selene's outfit.
It was a summer wear, a camisole. No, this is not normal here. This design shouldn't have appeared in this world. With the more traditional mindset of people around here, people are mostly wearing T shirts and trousers. But a singlet like clothing? Not as an undergarment but actual clothes? Never heard of. Not even during summer. Perhaps for swimming. But that is that.
Either the designer is broke, or he has a good business mindset. Or maybe, he is a "cultured gentleman". But anyway, whoever you are. You had my thanks. I am feeding my eyes with more of Selene's skin.
Ehm. Remember, she could possibly be reading my inner monologue.
"Hi for the day." She slightly leaned her back a little bit forward. The extra cloth created a small, tiny gap. She definitely did it in purpose.
Hmmmmmm. I leaned a bit backwards comically with a loud, purposeful deep breath. "Hi beauty, I almost didn't recognise you."
"Rate my outfit?" She casually gave a 360° spin.
"Very stunning." Damn, who actually came up with a camisole design here, almost bare shoulders, almost bareback, sleeveless. I made it comical previously. But, it certainly 'improves' breathing habits. Send the designer to loli jail already. For giving such thing to a kid.
And I was stunned by her too earlier and didn't realise: MINISKIRT! THIS DESIGNER SKIPPED PROPER SKIRTS AND WENT STRAIGHT FOR MINISKIRTS! Damn dem legs…..
EHM! She could be reading my mind now!
"Let's get going." I lead the way to the usual room.
————
The very same room used previously with Mira's research and recently for Selene's.
"This room is always unoccupied.." I pondered out loud. "Anyway, for today's session, I am going to test the extent and accuracy of what can be done with your ability."
I have to either cut the chase and dive straight into the ability development or end up chanting the calmness sutra of pi equals to 3.14159….
"So let's start with guiding your mana flow to my brain.."
"Already been doing it."
??????
"Since when?"
"When we just met outside."
"Busted."
Fine, I shall present to you the skeletal anatomy set. For starters, we shall cover the skeletal anatomy and bone composition, calcium, phosphate, how blood balances pH with bone….
I managed to maintain my thought for like 10 minutes.
"Now it is your turn to transmit back what you have seen from my memories earlier."
??????
No, not yourself spinning in camisole. I applaud you for finding loopholes in my conversation. No reward this time.
Now, being serious, she planted the academic knowledge I tried to gave her. It seems like she cannot just simply overwrite someone's memory since I saw her planting me with a wrong diagram. Badly aligned jaws, a pair of missing rib cage, fingers with only 1 joint.
If she can actually do an overwrite. She can definitely 'plant' whatever diagrams into her brain and feed me with exact same diagram in 8k super high resolution.
"Have you already experimented on how many people you can maintain a connection in same given moment?"
"With mom and dad."
Ok. At least she can refer to my diagram and transfer to another person if we are doing surgery.
"Surgery?"
"Not your main concern now."
I ended the day. She recovered from over exertion just recently with Mira and my efforts. Surely not going to loop into this vicious cycle again.
"Lunch?" She teased.
"Great idea." It is noon.
Cafeteria is closed during weekends. We have to head out. Selene sure is the eye magnet of the day.
With that. Selene naturally held my hand. 3.1415…..
"3.1415…?"
"Nothing."
