Feng Ye closes his eyes and relaxes as he sinks his conscious deep into his mind. Nearby, Mito sees this and thinks that he was underestimating the spectre. Cursing in her mind, Mito shakes Feng Ye’s shoulder while reminding, “Hey! We are in the middle of a battle you know!”

As Feng Ye closes his eyes, he waves his right hand indicating to Mito that he knows. Mito sighs and focuses her attention on the spectre who seems to be waving his arms around with an evil grin as though he was feeling his new found strength before taking care of the ants in front of him.

As Feng Yee relaxes, Shira’s consciousness takes the leading role and control. Although Shira Takeover has its advantages, there are also many disadvantages.

When the Shira Takeover condition is active, there are two further branches of the ability: Synergize and Perfect Trance.

The Synergize branch of the Shira Takeover can be triggered any time, however, it requires Feng Ye to interrupt the Shira Takeover condition.

If he disrupts Shira Takeover, he will temporarily be with Shira’s appearance and physique for around 5 minutes before the ability wears off and he can regain his appearance. If he doesn’t disrupt Shira Takeover, it would take 2 minutes for the ability to wear off. During the 5 minutes after the disruption, Feng Ye can freely utilize all abilities with the Shira Takeover stat buff. Essentially, it would be Feng Ye’s “Shira form”, an enhanced, but not calculated form. In this condition, Synergize, would allow Feng Ye the opportunity of growth and development of his abilities. It is, however, risky as once the 5 minutes is over, he will return to his normal state and lose the stat buffs that comes with Shira Takeover. During this time, he will also enter a small time period of fatigue both physically and mentally.

Thus, Feng Ye is especially cautious about utilizing Synergize.

The other branch of Shira Takeover is labelled Perfect Trance. This branch of the ability is extremely formidable, however, it requires Shira to be in control of his body. It is the perfect form of Feng Ye in which all his attacks, defense, movement, and decision making is calculated perfectly to maximize the highest potential he can achieve. Naturally, the disadvantage is obvious, unlike synergize, Feng Ye won’t be able to break his abilities nor physical limitations as the condition is merely a perfect optimization of himself. This form has high sustainability as his energy consumption, physical strength, and mental strength is all calculated to be most efficient. Thus, using the Perfect Trance branch of Shira Takeover allows for a longer duration of battle of around 20-40 minutes. This condition is ideal for learning and comprehension of the applications of his abilities as well as the optimization of his movements/posture/etc.

The advantages and disadvantages of each ability is quite distinct. Feng Ye, unless, absolutely pressed into a corner wouldn’t use Synergize besides in practice. High risk, high reward, but at this time Feng Ye couldn’t see the advantage of taking that risk.

Feng Ye while he lets Shira gain control and utilize the Perfect Trance branch takes a look at his stat panel to look at his progress over the past several days. His strength had increased from 40 to 50 which is crazy progress most likely due to his Shira Takeover experimentation and practice. His speed had gone from 35 to 42. His intelligence seemed to go against heaven’s will with a 15 point increase from 50 to 65 which definitely had relations with his insights into the vibration ability. His vitality stat had increased from 54 to 60 which is decent. He also can see in detail the explanation of the two different branches of Shira Takeover along with developments to his vibration ability with his self-named abilities.

Shira Takeover (2 Branches)

1. Synergize [INACTIVE]

-Triggered by the interruption of the host in the Shira Takeover condition. Allows host to freely utilize and move the host’s body with the Shira Takeover condition in which all attributes +200% and all abilities +2 levels for a duration of 5 minutes. After the duration of 5 minutes, the host enters a period of mental and physical fatigue. In this condition, host can potentially surpass their limitations and reach new boundaries.

2. Perfect Trance [ACTIVE]

- Triggered by default 90 seconds after the Shira Takeover condition is activated or by active triggering. Shira takes over control of the host’s body and all attributes (+200%) and all abilities increase (+2 levels). In this condition, the host’s entirety enters the most peak optimal condition in which all attacks/defense/movements/mental processes/decisions are calculated in order to maximize the host’s full potential under its current mental and physical limitations. Duration: maximum 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, it will take two minutes for host to regain normal condition and two minutes of mental and physical fatigue.

*The host can comprehend and analyze all movements from the host’s conscious. The host cannot surpass any bodily limitations under this condition.

**The host can interrupt this condition anytime to trigger the Synergize branch ability.

Vibration (Esper): Vibrate/Sonicate objects nearby.

Development:

Particle Manipulation -

Vibrate particles causing an increase of movement, controlled movement, controlled temperature (vibrate slower for cooler, vibrate faster for hot)

Magnetic Field Manipulation -

Manipulation of the electric charge of atoms through vibration. As the electric charge of atoms vibrate, the magnetic field also changes. By manipulating this charge and producing electromagnetic waves, a repulsing effect can be utilized.

Sonic charge -

The use of numerous particles vibrating at high intensity and speed to cover a surface.This produces a frequency of sound waves. Striking with this surface results in the release of soundwaves. Surpassing the speed of sound with a quick impact will result in a sonic boom.

Energy Blade -

A condensation of a blade by converting surrounding energy to gather at specific locations. This blade can be referred to as a n energy blade. The energy blade appears to be an extension-type weapon in which it is grasped by a single hand. Using the energy blade requires at least 120 VIT attributes and 100 STR attributes.

Other: ???

Host Inventory

*Note: After Host Attributes Total 200 Adjustments (Sum of STR/INT/SPD/VIT), Adjustments made in SP and AP conversion rates.

Adjustment of SP/AP to EP ratios.

Stat Points: (Former: 1 SP = 2 EP)

1 SP = 5 EP

Ability Points: (Former: 1 AP = 3 EP)

1 AP = 8 EP

*EP = energy points gained by defeating enemies.

Feng Ye also notices that he had gained a total of 33 EP (Energy Points) which probably were from the three goons previous who had most likely yielded 11 EP each after defeat. He also sees the massive increase of attributes and skill levels of his abilities as the result of Shira Takeover. With this condition, Shira will be able to use Particle Blade which has the requirement of at least 120 VIT attributes and 100 STR attributes which now has been achieved temporarily.

As Feng Ye had retracted his consciousness and became an observer, his body in reality had some serious changes. His dark hair immediately becomes silver has it grows quickly down his back. His skin slowly turned pale and his height decreased. His facial features and appearance slowly form Shira’s appearance. Due to the difference in height and physique, the clothes Feng Ye was wearing had been obviously too baggy.

Feng Ye who observes as a consciousness form swears to himself. “F*ck, next time I’ll buy some children’s clothing….. His conscious form emits a sad, depressed expression...”

Mito who was beside Feng Ye noticed this odd occurrence and comments, “Feng Ye.. you..?”

The appearance of Feng Ye is of the Shira that resides in his mind. Shira with her eyes closed as Feng Ye had closed his eyes a moment ago slowly opens her eyes.

A pair of mysterious golden eyes pupils can be seen as she opens her eyes. Seeing Feng Ye’s change, Mito is startled. “?!”

“E..esper!” Mito astonishing comments. At this time, only Mito and Feng Ye remain as the students had all evacuated out of the pool area. Even though they had left the pool area, Feng Ye and Mito has to remain to delay time for them to get as far as way as possible. The spectre can easily outrun the evacuating students if Feng Ye and Mito weren’t here to stop him up.

Shira in Feng Ye’s clothes has a very baggy look as the shirt droops down and appears as though it is a dress. The shoes no longer fit and Feng Ye’s pants also fall to the ground due to the waist size change.

Feng Ye observing this is speechless….

Mito is also speechless…

“...” Shira looks at Mito and looks quickly nearby. Seeing an open bag which looks as though it belonged to a female swimmer, Shira grabs and puts on a pair of drawstring shorts. Luckily, the swimmer who owned these shorts was probably around the same height. As for Feng Ye’s shirt which is now oversized on Shira.. It definitely needs to be fixed.

“Hey..do you have a sharp object?” Shira inquiries Mito. Her voice was hers which Feng Ye had heard in his mind. It wasn’t Feng Ye’s voice which validated to Mito that Feng Ye either became a girl or this was a different person.

Mito nods and hands over a keychain with an attached jackknife.

“Thanks.” Shira takes this jackknife and cuts apart Feng Ye’s shirt. She cuts the sleeves to make them shorter and cuts down the helm of the shirt. After cutting it down, she ties a knot near the bottom of the new shirt helm which prevents the shirt from flapping.

The entire process took less than 20 seconds. At this time, the spectre who was in awe of their newly acquired abilities remembers that he still had two ants to take care of.

The spectre gives a deafening roar and with fists clenched charge over. Each step results in a series of cracks on the floor of the pool deck. The spectre after breaking free and examining his abilities seemed to grow in height. The original height was still in the category of human, however, now the spectre had a huge build which reaches a height of 10 feet.
