Cassel — POV
When I used my power, I felt it instantly.
The difference was unmistakable—sharp, overwhelming, almost frightening in its clarity.
This wasn't like before.
It had grown stronger.
No… not just stronger.
It felt denser, heavier, as though the power itself had matured—compressed and refined through something far more brutal than ordinary growth. When it surged through my veins, it no longer felt wild or unstable. It answered me with frightening obedience, roaring beneath my skin like a beast that had finally learned who its master was.
Stronger than ever.
Of course, it would become stronger.
Not only my power—but everyone else's as well. Several times over. Our growth far exceeded that of ordinary Espers, leaving others behind at an alarming pace. And yet, this had nothing to do with luck alone, nor was it simply the result of good discipline or relentless training.
There was another reason.
A secret.
One that no one in this world knew yet.
