6 years later

Majestic being flew over the barren lands filled with death. At first it seemed that this being was searching for prey, but in actuality it was already heading for one. The prey seemed so small, yet it was emitting some unknown and powerful energy. The hunter wanted to turn around and fly to the other direction, but it was already too late. Its prey disappeared from his sight, appearing right above the hunter and descending with immeasurable speed on top of it. The hunter wanted to resist, but it was already dead.

Tigers with glowing red eyes started to run in circles around the being. They were waiting for an opening in order to deliver finishing blow to this being. Before they could react, strange aura that was surrounding this being, growed in diameter, engulfing all of them and slowly disintagrating them.

Gigantic rhinos with glowing veins charged towards the intruder. Before they could come close to this unknown creature, they were launched in the air and split in two. The being with white glowing eyes looked over the rest of the wasteland, noticing that every creature was afraid to take another step. Then he grinned, preparing to charge once again, but suddenly It heard a voice.

"Wake up!"

Kari opened his eyes and saw a familiar face.

"Kari! Wake up! Breakfesht!" Said cute, 3 year old girl, while shaking her older brother. She was tasked with waking him up every morning and she wouldn't disappoint her mommy!

"Wake up! Kari!" Girl repeated. Kari had to see this sight every morning for the past year, but he was happy.

"Okay Lis. Big brother is waking up." Kari said as he rose from the bed, while holding his little sister in his hands.

Who knew that having little sister could be so nice? Come on now, say your demand!

"Fly! Lish fly!" Lis shouted as she looked at her brother with begging eyes. This was happening every morning and Kari had to do it over and over again. Nonetheless, he was more than happy to entertain her sister with his powers.

In an instant, Lis started floating in the air. She waved her hands around in excitenment, then running them through her floating hair. Her big brother would always play with her. He was using this magic to entertain her in any way that she wanted. But she always remembered that she can't speak to other people about his powers. She knew that her big brother would be in trouble and she didn't want that at all!

"Okay List. Let's go downstairs. You want to go outside with me today right? Then let's eat a lot!" Kari said as he raised his fist and Lis repeated the same action, while shouting "Yesh, shir!"

Trousers and shirt flew towards Kari as he raised himself in the air, using Psychokinesis to dress up. Then he used his powers to bring his sister's dress from across the messy room and put it on his sister.

He walked out of the door and turned right. He walked down the hallway and opened the room that was in the middle of it. The room was clean, but there was no one inside of it.

She started training early again. Damn Elza. You're so cool!

After praising his older sister mentally, he proceeded to go downstairs into the living room. He was met by his father, Aedus.

"Good morning, Champion! Did you sleep well?" Aedus asked he leaned on his left arm while looking at floating Lis. This sight was weird, but the whole family got used to it.

"Yeah. Had a really cool dream, but she woke me up. Anyways, did something happen yesterday?" He asked his father, who was working for some shitty noble and was his private body guard. This happened because Rorsak told that noble about his father's advanced swordsmanship, so he was hired and had a high payment as well.

"Nothing. It's an easy job most of the time. By the way, the book that you asked me about wasn't in the grand library. It can only be purchased in Krakoth kingdom, so sorry." Kari was kind of disappointed because that book could have so interesting information on magic in general. Last 6 years were spent by either reading books or playing with his little sister. Only recently, Kari hasstarted to test the range of his psychic powers outside of city's walls. The reason was simple. The aptitude test.

"Sooooo. What place are you aiming for when you will take part in that test? I'm sure that you will want to go to magic school." Said Aedus as he looked at Kari from across the table. "But what about that power of yours? How will you hide it after you use it in the Aptitude test?"

" No one ,outside of magic council, knows what this test will consist of. Last time it was expedition in the caves under Zhulamar, so I think that it will happen in the capital, or not far away from here. This year will have a lot of kind I'm sure. Hiding my powers will be difficult, but I'll think of something. I won't let anything happen to you." Kari finished talking while using his Psychic sense to scan the Eastern forest, the area where he was training in.

"Hahaha. Oh boy. Sometimes I think that you are older than me. Hehehe" Aedus was laughing, while looking at Kari.

Heh. I'm actually older than you. If you only kne-Oh shit!

Kari felt his sister getting dizzy and he gently put her down on the ground.

"So-Sorry Lis. Kinda forgot about it hehe." Kari said while scratching back of his head. Lis pouted and went into the kitchen. Lis was looking almost exactly like mini-version of Kari. The only difference being their gender.

Soon, Kara came from the kitchen while holding pan filled with fried potatoes, mixed with meat, herbs and spices. Son and father started drooling at the sight of this dish. Kara only smiled widely as she saw their reaction. The pan in her hands started floating towards the table and was placed on it gently by Kari. Kara thanked him by kissing his cheek and sitting on the chair that was moved by Kari too. Soon, plates and forks flew all the way from kitchen to living room, descending in front of everyone around the table. Parents thanked their son again and started eating.

After breakfast was over, Kari helped his mother with the dishes and then prepared to leave. Before he would leave, his mother stopped him.

"Sweetie, can you please take this to your sister?" She said as she gave Kari small metal container, that Kari made himself.

"Sure. Where is she training this time?" Kari asked as he took the container from his mother.

"She said that she was going to the Eastern forest. I know that you'll be able to defend yourself on your way there, but still, Please be careful" Kara said as she hugged Kari. Even now, he was amazed by her mother's body. She was 6'6 in height. She was curvy and she would make any man fall for her. Sometimes, Kari would just burst out laughing when he saw his father standing next to his mother, which resulted in Aedus blushing from embarrassment and Kara hugging him, telling him not to worry.

"Eastern forest? We might even train together! Okay Mom! Tell Lis that I will walk with her around the city later." He said as he left his house and closed the door behind him.

The house had 2 floors and an attic. The first floor consisted of entrance, living room and kitchen. Second floor had 4 bedrooms. One bedroom belonged to Aedus and Kara. Second bedroom belonged to Elza. Third bedroom was shared between Kari and Lis. She was always crying when she wasn't sleeping in the same room as Kari. So she moved from her parents' room to Kari's. In reality, Kari was really happy about it. The fourth bedroom was vacant and it would be used if family had a guest.

House also had a small yard in the back. At the back of this yard was bath that always had warm water, thanks to Kari and his powers.

Kari walked down the busy streets of the capital. He already passed commoner districts and was now going to the Eastern gate through Trading district. Sound of people bartering, auctioneers inviting people, hammer hitting the hot metal on top of the anvil, lady screaming at the tailor, butcher cutting up meat, brought a weird, but pleasant sense of harmony.

Soon, he was outside of the city walls. He looked at the Easter forest. It was pretty big and normal children would be lost in there for sure. He walked away from the gigantic wall and hid in the nearby trees. Kari placed both of his hands on the ground, while placing one leg directly on the ground and second one slightly above it.

In an instant, he pushed off the ground and covered distance of 200 meters in less than a second. If he would use his Psychokinesis to fly, people would surely notice him, so he had to come up with alternative method. 1 year ago, he started his training in Psy-running. He charged his Psychic power through the whole body, using it to help muscles cover huge distances as fast as possible, with no damage to them. He could move at the speed of 400 miles per hour. He also used Aerokinesis to make wind resistance as low as possible, thus increasing his speed even further.

After 1 year of training, Kari estimated that he could move faster than Mach 3, but moving faster than Mach 1 would cause sonic boom to appear. He clearly remembered his past-life experience of moving at the Mach 4 speed. Whenever he would fly over people with this speed, their life signatures would disappear after few seconds. So, he only ran at the speed of 300 meters per second.

Soon, he entered the Eastern forest and scanned the entirety of it. He found his sister on his usual training spot near a large waterfall.

Elza was sitting on the rock and looking at the waterfall. She was thinking a lot about tomorrow, because tomorrow was the day of Aptitude testing. Even though she wouldn't participate in it, she was still nervous about her brother and his powers. She heard a familliar voice whispering in her ear.

"Enjoying the view?" It was her brother, Kari. She had good perception of her surroundings, but her brother approached her without making a single sound.

"How did you sneak up on me?"

"I have my own ways. Anyway, what brings you here Elza? Training in front of the waterfall is really cool, but this place is already occopied by me" Said Kari as he winked.

"Tomorrow is the Aptitude test. I just wanted to see how you train and how you will hide your powers during the test." Elza replied with deadpan expression on her face.

"Well about that... I'm gonna reveal it." Kari said as he was scratching the back of his head.

"What? You told uncle Rorsak to hide it and now you want to reveal it? That's stupid. And plus, There is no record of power like yours in the kingdom. Someone will try to catch you and kill you!"

"Whoa, chill! First of all, I'm gonna reveal it in a slightly different way. I'll show you how today. And second of all, I will look really cool. I didn't want my powers to be revealed when I was only 1! And I don't want to wait another 4 years for another test. And besides... Who will dare to attack me after seeing that shit?" Elza remembered that terrifying sight once again and quickly looked down, trying to avoid makinHg eye contact with her brother. Kari noticed it and sighed.

Maybe I should tell her now? I think it'll be for the best.

Kari sat right next to her sister and looked at the waterfall. Short silence was enough for Elza to recollect her thoughts and she looked up. She saw her brother looking at the waterfall, with a sad smile. He then said, without even looking at Elza.

"Are you scared of me?" Elza knew that she would have to answer this question sooner or later, but she was still caught off guard. She knew the answer, but she didn't want to say it out loud. She was living her whole life after that incident in fear. She was scared that her brother would do that again. She feared that something bad would happen.

"I... I... I..."

"It's okay. If you wouldn't be scared, that would be even weirder. Any normal kid would be scared after that." Kari said as he still didn't move his eyes from the waterfall. " Sis, Humans are scared of unknown. If something that is beyond our comprehension appears, we are scared of it. We try to fight it, worship it, fear it, love it, but in the end, humans will accept this unknown. Sooner or later, we will embrace it and consider it as something normal, something that we understand, so please..."

Kari suddenly hugged his sister with all his might.

"Please accept me and don't be scared of me. I don't want to harm you. I don't want you to hurt. I know that I'm weird and monstrous, but please, ACCEPT ME!" Kari shouted.

Elza remembered all the times that her brother spent with her and Lis. She remembered that despite him having this power, that was capable of destroying the whole capital, he was only helping his family with it. It was always like that. She was just too scared to accept it. Tears started flowing from her eyes and dropping on the ground below her.

Boy... That escalated too quickly.

She was crying silently while being in his brother's embrace. Kari was frozen in place, unable to do anything. He knew that if he would let go now, everything would be for nothing.

"He-Hey. Stop crying now. Big girls don't cry, even Lis understands that." Kari said as Elza slowly left his embrace. "As an apology, I will be number one in this year's Aptitude testing!"

"F-Fine. No need to show me them now. I really want to see you amaze everyone." Elza said with a smile on her face. Finally, she was free from the fear that was binding her for past 6 years.

"I kinda wanted to see your sword technique,but... Whatever! At least let me show you how fast I am." Kari lifted his sister up in bridal carry with the help of Psychokinesis and said "Wrap your hands around me and don't let go."

Let's try jumping over the wall today. Hope the guards won't notice me.

Kara just nodded as she wrapped her hands around Kari's neck. Kari started running. Even though they were moving so fast, the wind wasn't stopping them. They were moving too fast for Elza to see their surroundings. Everything was blurry, but at one moment she felt her brother jumping over something big and landing perfectly. Her brother was moving fast again, but now he was making a lot of turns. They suddenly stopped and Elza could finally see their surroundings. They were in front of their house. She couldn't even imagine the speed that her brother was moving with.

"We're here! I carefully chose the way with no people at all, so we got here faster than usual!" Kari said with a proud grin on his face. "Anyway, I'm gonna take Lis for a little walk. Go inside and rest for today. I have a feeling that this year, they will allow families of participants to attend the test."

Kari went inside the house and came out with Lis sitting on his shoulders. It was an extremely cute sight to see. Kari just waved his hand and continued walking. Elza soon entered the house and went to help her mother. Tomorrow was a big day for her brother. She knew that Kari would take the first place, but she had a bad feeling about tomorrow.

What if her brother would go out of control again?
