A Life for a Life

The second all of them got back, they washed up, some of their clothes were splattered with blood. It wasn't that bad though, a quick wash would clear up the evidence.

They sat around in a circle on the floor, "so what is your ability?" America asked south. South hesitated for a moment, weighing the pros and cons before speaking, "my ability is what I like to call sound manipulation."

"I'll keep it brief," South paused in his words to rearrange his thoughts, "sound is made of vibrations, I can control those, I can make them disappear, transfer them elsewhere or even enhance them."

The gears in America's brain started shifting, "May I have a more scientific explanation? Energy cannot be created nor erased but only transferred." Russia also thought of the same thing but he didn't find it necessary to ask.

"When I enhance the vibrations I convert other energy around me, it doesn't only have to be energy created from the sound itself. Meanwhile the erased one, I don't actually erase them I just decrease the volume to a point it isn't comprehensible by normal hearing."

"Oh so that's why sometimes I see you two's mouths moving but no sound coming out." America tilted his head as if he had reached a plausible explanation, he was quite pleased with this explanation. It was within the range of his knowledge, he didn't like explanations that don't make sense.

America chuckled as his eyes shined with anticipation, "can you create soundproof areas?"

"I can but I have a limit to how big the area is and how long," South replied. America felt like this was absolutely perfect, he had been quite worried about discussing revolution related things due to the fear of being eavesdropped on. This solves all his problems.

The Russian and The American has similar worries, Russia was just unwilling to voice them out, he tends to keep to himself about his inner thoughts.

"The blindfold is used to enhance my hearing, my ability does take quite a bit concentration, I have to process all the vibrations at once at a high speed." South lifted the black blindfold that was wrapped around his pale white neck.

"Can I have a demonstration?"

South lifted three fingers and pointed it at America's chest, suddenly a wave of force pushed his upper body backwards. His head collided with the wall, the force wasn't large enough to injure someone or damage the wall though.

After snapping out of his daze, the prince lifted himself back to his original sitting position while rubbing the back of his head, "that's really cool."

"Thanks. That's all for my ability, let's get to bed for school tomorrow shall we?"

America nodded compliantly and turned to his bunk with Russia. Both America and Russia had the same thing on their minds, they gave each other a glance in mutual understanding.

South didn't tell them his ability's weakness. The prince and guard duo noticed this, both were observant and their understanding of each other was surprisingly good.

Every ability has a weakness no matter how powerful it is. That's the one general rule of every ability. The more powerful an ability, the larger the drawback, it seemed like the Korean man wanted to avoid talking about his weakness.

His worries were reasonable, they had just partnered up so he didn't trust them yet. America gave Russia a 'It's fine, we'll find out eventually anyways,' glance to which Russia nodded in acknowledgement.
