Magic High: Utility Belt

Chapter Two: Magic High

When I discovered that I indeed had a skill, my parents received it with joy, however, they were a bit surprised when they found out the nature of my abilities.

  “Son…look, there is no such thing as someone being able to reverse time. If that were real, tell me why an evil mind wouldn’t use that to take advantage of everyone?” my dad questioned

      “Oh come on honey, give him a chance, after all, were still not sure… tell you what, why don’t you prove it to us anyway…” my mom trailed off

   It was time

I concentrated all my thought force. At once I felt myself shoot forward in time and I vanished.

When I came back, I was actually able to make an accurate prediction….

  “I saw a dark cloud covering the building and yet everywhere was clear sky…” I told them

   They looked puzzled. But just then, a large shadow appeared out of nowhere. Somehow I don’t think I would have opened my mouth if I had known that Scott was the root of the problem. The thundercloud of course… was fake.

  “Anyway, a prediction is a prediction. I have time control” I said. That was really all it took to make them believe in me again.

  The big question was… how I would apply my special abilities to practical situations.

    I then began to tell them about the idea of going to the place Fred told me earlier… about mastery and full control of one’s abilities.

   “I know that my self-training has been going on for quite some time and I’m actually good at it, but I could really get better at this if I had some professional training.” I told them.

    If anything, I guess that seemed to convince them. But I later realized that unlike regular practice, I would have to be away from home for a long while.

The day finally came when I got the news I had been hoping for since. We were accepted, Fred and I were going to the Skill set camp. Before I begin, I have to look at another story that   happened not too long ago that got me up to this point.

   One time when I was out practicing, I remember my dad telling me he had something special to give me. By then I thoroughly believed that my skills were so polished that I didn’t need another accessory. But my dad said that it was something ‘special’. I was already on my feet and when I got inside, he shut the door and closed the windows and proceeded to show me one of the family’s most treasured talismans.

  “This is the Invincible Ring. Its wearer possesses the power of being untouchable. It is pretty old and still very handy in this modern world of ours for stuff like whenever the battle gets too hot…” he advised

“I’m not sure I will go into using my skills for battle modes but sure I’ll take it.”

  “It also helps to guard against persuasions from… well anyone. Including that girl whom I don’t trust is hanging out with you. For all I know she could planning to rob you of  some useful info. ” he rambled on

  “Oh come on Dad, she’s a real friend to me. You’ve got to trust her.”

      “Oh really, would that be a girlfriend perhaps?” my mom asked.

At this, I felt my cheeks grow hot. The girl in question was one I adored very much. Her name was Rosa Helen, a childhood friend of mine who was a friend of my cousin Eileen. But as always, my mom would always try to make it look like some sort of love affair… As far as I was concerned, Rosa and I were really close friends but not as close as my mom pictured it.
