Testing My Skill (pt1)
"Oh?" The blond little girl looked intrigued by what she had just heard. She grinned wickedly, hearing what my ability could do. She did seem like a spiteful person, so she must have had many enemies who she would want to have some misfortune. "Is your power at the rank of EX ?" "Yes, it is." "Then do you know its limitations?" "No, I just found out what my ability was yesterday." "Found out? Does it mean that you have had it since you were born?" She was pretty sharp in finding the meaning of what I had said. There is a reason why she is a big boss with her personality. "Yes." "I see. Then let's do a little test." Test? I wanted to try the limits of my abilities, but do they have people I could use it on? "Is there someone I could use it on? Cause I really don't think anyone would want me to use it on them here." "Oh, you shouldn't worry about it. They don't have a choice, just go ahead and use your ability on them." The adult world sure is scary. She sure was really scary for someone who looked that cute and playful. Getting off of her chair, we headed to the door. "Follow me" ~ She was excited to test my new ability, like a little girl excited by a new toy. It had taken us a while before we got there. What was inside was a prison of some sort.their dead eyes began to shine. I then looked at the boss, giving her a weird look. Even if they survive, if I don't release my ability, you might as well die. But I don't think I should say that out loud. It would ruin her fun, and my pay could go lower. Heading to a different room, we went to a room filled with dangerous traps. Yikes, the place was covered with different dangerous weapons. "Is this a torture chamber?" "Why yes, it is." "Then let's begin Choose your first target!" My first target? Looking at all ten of them, it was hard for me to pick. All of them were horrible people, so choosing was hard. "All of you pick a number from one to ten." The number they choose will decide their fate one for having the weakest curse, while ten for having the strongest. With all the prisoners having their numbers, they were lined up in order. Which should I do first? "Um..Boss, should I go on the order of weakest to strongest or strongest to weakest?" "Go with the weakest." That means subject one will be tested first. Using my ability, my power of mine gave me a view of a 50m circumference of a circle. Within this range, I could see anything. And anything within could be attacked by my curse. Putting ten percent of my powers in subject one, nothing happened. This was helpful for scouting also. It was nice to know that my power wasn't linear. "I finished my curse. Do we wait or start with a new one? The curse on the first person is weak, so it may take time for results to show." Telling my thoughts, I gave my input on what to do. My boss stared at me, thinking about whether to continue or not. "Number one, walk around the area. And Kyle, continue testing your ability." With the order given, I cursed the second person putting an input of twenty percent. Finishing the curse, my boss had also ordered him to walk around. For the first four people, nothing had happened. This was bad. My boss was starting to think that my powers may be defective. It wasn't until the fifth person that I cursed, that something had immediately happened. The moment he moved, he had a cramp. "Ahhh!" Subject five screamed while holding his legs. My boss, who had a lousy personality, started to laugh at him. "For a criminal to go through pain like this is pretty pathetic, don't you think?" Now that I think about it, my boss sounds like a villain. Her childish yet sadistic personality had a match. Disrupting my thoughts, a piece of sensitive equipment fell and cut subject number four on the torso. It took twenty seconds for it to happen. He was still alive, but I think he is suffering from pain. My boss left him there, and we continued with the following subject. Next was subject number six. The effect on my ability also affected him immediately. Unlike a cramp, the man had diarrhea. Honestly, it was disgusting. Jasmine, the assistant, had already brought in some helpers to clean up the mess. It was a good thing they were wearing a mask to protect themselves from the smell. Number seven had an issue with his mana flow. His insides were being shredded, and he was now crippled. As for subject eight, he was horrified. Seeing what I could do and was stronger made him want to cry. "Please, I will do anything to atone for my crimes. Just don't kill me, please!" At eighty percent power was the first death. I couldn't help but twitch my eyes, seeing that he choked on air. The anxiety, coupled with the misfortune, got him. His dead body was dragged away no one here would want to look at a corpse.Latest Chapter
