I couldn't stop myself from grinning.

After a long hours of training, meditating and exercising I finally hit my mastery in Psychic Energy Manipulation to a hundred percent.

Just by playing with it and experimenting and creating various defensive and offensive attacks.

Honestly, I was impressed on my learning speed like I know the process like the back of my hand.

The additional knowledge brought by Gnosokinesis really upgraded my learning and thinking process, turning it into 50 times more powerful than the average.

For example, when I first conjured a psychic ball countless of data flashed in my head. All of those information contains methods in stabilizing the technique in near perfection.

Added to that were already calculated solid formulas that implies to a specific upgrade like the Splinter Psychic Ball.

Although the latter was a homage to a character from Yu Yu Hakusho (great retro anime by the way), the established formula helped me to create the varied energy orb like it was 1+1=2. Genuinely, the Power Curriculum Program had lots of stuff in regards with psychic attacks.

Oh, I also found out some things during my self-training.

First and foremost was that upon reaching a 100% mastery in any Dynamokinesis variations, one can increase Energy Manipulation's percentage to one percent.

Which would mean that if I want to reach Dynamokinesis' mastery to the maximum cap, then I needed to level up all of its variations aside from Psychic Energy Manipulation to 100%.

That's a lot of work.

Second was that upon reaching a single Kinetic abilities to the fullest, it automatically allows you to access its related and associated applications.

Which opens another sets of abilities to train and master.

Man, does One Above All want me to be a super Mutant or something?

Now thinking about it, am I somewhat overpowered? I mean if one would carefully take a look in these list of skill set, I am sure that they would agree to my concerns.

Logically speaking, as the way I am now I think this was a fair trade.

I mean c'mon, in a world filled with magic and whatever monstrosity living out there someone like a manaless person like me won't stand a chance in this much cruel world.

Honestly without this abilities, I'm sure that I will perish without a trace.

I need to arm myself with sharpened teeth in order to survive.

Luckily, Lady Luck was on my side.

Still with a jovial mood, accessing my Technokinetic abilities I brought out a window screen that shows a diagram of my unlocked Psycho-related Kinesis with a swipe of two fingers in midair.

Specks of indigo Psions trailed off from my fingers.

SHIMMER!

PING!

"Hmm... Looks like I got a long way to go."

I said, staring intently at the delineation presented in front of me.

Aside from the others, there were only five abilities that were beyond the 70% percent mark. I need to double my efforts even with my fast-learning abilities (thanks Gnosokinesis) if ever I wanted to specialize in one aspect. But considering that I have extensive knowledge that knows every method in learning each and every powers and my amazing learning rate, I think a little greed was acceptable.

Then maybe I can go apeshit and master the other abilities!

Hehehe...

PINCH!

I pinched the bridge of my nose as I try to quell my thirst.

Sigh, looks like the effects of having "too much" knowledge in a puny human head started to have an effect on my conscious. Ironically the same "too much" knowledge was also the counterbalance of such desire.

Looking back at the diagram, I could tell that currently my growth was leaning more towards of being a Psychokinetic practitioner judging on how most of those abilities were above 30%. As for Dynamokinesis and the others...well, not so much.

Maybe I should try raising the other Psycho-related skills, especially the Augmentation, Construct, Shield and Healing ones. Those would be highly come in handy in an unexpected situations.

With Psionic Augmentation, I could enhance my psionic abilities.

Psionic Construct would be a great skill when facing an enemy in a close quarter combat and even in range fights.

Psionic Shield could give me a higher resistance against illusionists and mind controllers (mind rapists).

Psionic Healing would be useful too.

Now that I think about it, I could use some Augmentation in boosting my abilities while in training.

I wonder if I can enhance my learning rate with that...

--

After a few hours...

Cipher was beyond wildstruck on how much faster his progress went while under Psionic Augmentation.

Though he was disappointed on how the ability didn't affect his learning rate at all, on the other hand it made him to reach a higher level of mastery and control on the other abilities.

His Psionic Augmentation along with Psionic Construct, Shield, Infusion and Healing skyrocketed and reached all 82%. Although he had to be masochistic for a couple of minutes in order to raise Psionic Healing (cutting himself over and over again using a Psycho blade), over all it was huge leap.

It also increased his Psychokinesis from 84% to 85% and Psionics from 73% to 77%.

Not to mention that it increased the effectiveness of his various Psychic Attacks to a whole new level!

As for the others, not much has changed.

It was understandable inferring on how each abilities were intermingled with each other like how Technokinesis was associated with Psychokinesis or how Psychokinesis was connected closely to Astrakinesis.

With such discovery, Cipher's interest was piqued to a higher degree that he forgot time itself.

Watching on how excited and eager Cipher was in his training, one would wonder how he didn't feel any exhaustion considering that he been training non-stop ever since he leave the capital city.

The answer was simple. Cipher was no longer human...or an average Hyerian at least.

His body was constantly and rapidly changing. Thanks to the serum that Ghost Eye had concocted in order to sustain the physical frame from the overflowing mind power that the boy had awakened and thus preventing his sudden death.

His bones, muscles, organs and even the brain were enhanced above natural and beyond what normal or even talented Hyerians could achieve. As his body kept evolving in seeking balance and harmony with his overwhelming mental powers, it also pumped huge amounts of energy to the 3 Chakras attributed to his physical aspect; Muladhara, Svadhistana, and Manipura Energy Centers.

By doing this, it also strengthen Cipher's imbalanced Anahata as the three overflowing physical energy centers' vitality flowed inside the 6-pointed star bud 12 petaled green flower, making it brightened in greenish luminance.

Of course, such progress was unknown to Cipher.

However there was Ghost Eye, which was keeping monitor on the changes within his hosts body.

In Ghost Eye's deductions, his host was on the path of becoming a Supersoldier or even beyond that. The A.I. couldn't exactly tell knowing from all data that it had accumulated Humans were a species with unlimited potential.

Its host would be the testament to that.

The self-thought didn't interrupted its hosts from training, seeing the big grin and sparkling eyes on his face Ghost Eye only monitored the changes of Cipher's body all the while keeping surveillance on the outside world.

It has been two days and two nights straight since they were on a journey courtesy of the female red assassin, and Ghost Eye could detect some abnormal readings coming from the hooded femme fatale.

Her breathing was off.

Her body heat was decreasing by the minute.

THUD!

A dull, heavy sound flooded Ghost Eye's hearing sensory as its screen monitor showed a near image of the dirt then the starry sky and then back to the ground for several times, before stopping at the view of the red hooded female lying in front.

Processing the data that it gathered, the A.I. deduced that his host must do something about this. A status screen materialized beside it.

>

After reading the information, Ghost Eye then manifested in front of its host.

Cipher greeted it with a smile on his face.

"Ghost Eye, where have you been? You know I was able to increase my Psychokinetic capabilties to a higher percentage, see?"

"- I could see that Sir. But we currently have an urgent situation. -"

"Is there an enemy?"

Cipher responded almost seriously upon hearing the word urgent.

"- Negative. But it looks like Red Riding Hood has fallen ill. -"
