Rain gave an impressed nod and pointed at Ares. Ares gulped and stepped forward, taking a deep breath as if preparing for an Olympic event.
"My first ability is that I can talk to animals," Ares said, scratching his scalp.
"Pfft, lame," Leo cupped his hands around his mouth to amplify his voice, grinning widely as Ares's face turned red. However, Ares seemed to shake off the embarrassment and added, "And that's also why I can speak comfortably and fluently with Leo," raising an eyebrow at Leo with a smug smile. Leo shot him a deadly glare. "Oh, and I can freeze things..."
Rain stroked his chin thoughtfully. "I'll be back with something."
After a few minutes of dreadful silence, Rain returned with two new items: a ferocious-looking wolf and a pillow.
Ares raised his hands, extending two fingers from each hand. This time, instead of turning red, his eyes glowed a nature-like green. He muttered under his breath, and the wolf began to let out high-pitched shrieks, clearly in distress. Despite the wolf's agitation, Ares remained calm. He knelt beside the wolf and gazed into its deep eyes. Miraculously, the wolf's breathing slowed, and its rapid movements ceased. Ares extended his arm slowly toward the wolf's muzzle. The wolf, though initially reluctant, allowed Ares to touch its brilliant white fur. Ares stood up, clearly proud of his abilities. Rain gave an impressed scoff and handed the wolf to a buff man in black, who took the wolf away.
Next, Ares focused on the pillow. Repeating his previous actions, he pointed his fingers at it. For a moment, nothing seemed to happen until Ares slid the pillow across the hard floor. Everyone gasped as it was revealed to be frozen rock-solid. Ares then approached Leo, whose jaw dropped in awe.
Frost stepped forward. Instead of explaining, he aimed at the same pillow that Ares had frozen. His movement was so swift that Zion blinked and missed it, but no one commented. Frost's arms were positioned as if he were hugging himself, but only his elbows moved. His eyes glowed white like snow. The pillow, which had been frozen, now had a permanent hole in it. Smoke leaked from the hole, rising but not reaching the ceiling. Frost then directed electricity-a surreal blue color-at the target's center, leaving a darkened mark. He grinned broadly as Zion stared back and forth between the pillow and the target.
"Pretty good... all of you. Now it's your turn, Zion," Celik said, turning to Zion. Celik's impassive expression made it difficult for the Lunas to gauge his opinion on each ability. Leo tried to read Celik's poker face, but Celik noticed and grinned, causing Leo to quickly look back at Zion.
Zion held up both hands, closed, and a golden light emitted from his eyes as he opened them. Frost rubbed his eyes in disbelief as Zion began to shrink and grow fur and paws-wolf-like paws! Zion had transformed into a wolf right before their eyes! His fur was a dark ocean blue. He then shifted into a black panther, showing off even further. The panther stretched its paws and rested its head as it lay down, before returning to his natural form.
As Zion resumed his human form, a baby girl walked in. "What are you doing in here, Mila?" Celik's attention shifted to the girl, breaking his intense focus.
Zion aimed beside Mila, and a flower bloomed out of thin air in mere seconds. Mila's eyes widened even more, giving her a look of awe. "Thank you," she mumbled, her cute grin brightening her face.
"Oh, you're welcome," Zion replied, smiling back. Mila giggled quietly.
"Your ability is to produce flowers," Frost said, scratching his neck and tilting his head.
"No, I control plants, you idiot," Zion shot him a fierce look.
"Ohhh," Frost said as Zion returned to his original form.
