Ch 41 – Running Around at the Speed of Sound

Right in front of Braun, a floating square object made of dark metallic materials is seen with the gravitational field around it seemingly bending, the light warping around that field to obscure its appearance.

"This bad boy is finally done, that took longer than I thought," Braun mutters, constantly lying to continue his charade which he doesn't mind, it could be considered a constant source of training for him though it's not really needed.

Stretching his body around, he lets out a yawn due to the jetlag from being transported to another world, though he could easily make a concoction that could give him infinite energy to use, quite literally infinite.

"Okay system, prepare the 1000 points because this guy right here is going to become an official esper!" Braun shouts while electric sparks erupt from the wormhole device in front of him made from his phone from before, a worthy sacrifice for unlimited power.

Soon, the field of space-time around the metallic square device warps further that a hole slowly appears in front of him.

As Braun watches the hole in space-time grows bigger and bigger, the light around the hole further bends due to the interference of gravity that created the forming wormhole.

Soon, he watches the lights around the living room turning on and off just like what the files said indicating that he indeed has successfully made a wormhole directly beside the crystal in an unnoticeable manner.

Grinning, the hole widens to show a small part of the crystalline entity, a blue glow seeps through the crystal as he admires the secrets the body of the crystalline entity holds, the secrets it holds slowly revealing themselves to him slowly one by one.

But as if noticing his presence, the blue glow around the crystal pulsates in a rhythmic pattern as if it was communicating towards Braun through the weird guttural screams of a mindless animal, clearly showing it has some sort of awareness and consciousness but more closely related to a survival-based organism.

"Don't worry buddy, I'll reunite you later with your other friends around this world and bring you divine power. So just be a good boy and give me superpowers," Braun said with an amicable smile and a calming, soothing voice that suddenly caused the rapidly pulsating light emitting from the crystal to calm down as if it entered a trance.

Nodding his mind at the success of his charisma test regarding the crystalline entity, he watches the blue glow around the crystal slowly turn from red to blue while the electromagnetic interference around his room grows stronger causing the lights to break and explode.

But soon, the sound of sirens and a robotic voice appears on the other side of the portal, indicating that the researchers or whoever has the crystal under their grasp have noticed its change in color.

Unfortunately for them, the process has already started as Braun's eyes slowly dilated, and within a split second, his eyes roll to the back of his head while his hair starts to defy gravity and point towards the sky.

As his shirt and pants flutter with the windy vortex forming around him, the light around him bends while electrical sparks slowly zap from one place to another, and light soon erupts from his eyes, mouths, ears, nose, light erupts from every hole that consolidates his face indicating the change happening from within.

And as quickly as it appeared, the red light around the crystalline entity disappears along with the wormhole closing, and just as that happened, Braun's body drops down to the ground unconscious while minute changes slowly happened each second.

From levels that couldn't be noticed by any machine in the current time, a field slowly emerges from Braun as the epicenter that causes involuntary movement to the area around him, from a nanometer to a centimeter, until it became a few meters around him while a ding sound plays in his mind but he was unfortunately unconscious.

(An Unknown Amount of Time Later)

"Oh fuck," Braun mutters as a splitting headache appears in his brain while the familiar but also unfamiliar feeling of a field around him enters his mind.

As he felt the pile of saliva dripping from his mouth, he puts both of his hands on the ground and push himself off the ground, standing up, he rubs his head while glancing at the clock screen on the wall which made him sigh.

"It's Monday already, and at 7 am. Okay, take a shower for 1 minute, cook and eat breakfast for 10 minutes max while putting on my school uniform. Then go to the 'greatest' academy of Academy City aptly named Zenith Academy, the academy where the greatest minds of the worlds learn and prosper, and considering my Mind is 25 which is beyond the peak of humanity unless they are espers, then I'm more than enough to be inside that academy. System, why did you have to make me the bullied loser guy?!" Braun shouts while entering his bathroom and taking off his clothes, after a minute, he walks out of the bathroom with a towel on his waist showing his muscular body which was kinda illogical considering he was supposed to be the bullied guy but he simply shrugs his shoulders in response, reality warpers are simply wack, especially the King of Reality, the one sitting on the 2nd throne of Academy City.

Walking to his small kitchen, he telekinetically manipulated some eggs with ease and crack them open on top of his searing hot pan while grabbing some orange juice from the fridge and pouring it into a glass cup.

As he made the cup float to the table in the living room, he walks into his bedroom and towards his closet where he takes out his uniform consisting of a white long sleeve shirt that is hidden under a black long sleeve blazer with gold rims and a golden logo of Zenith Academy being proudly shown on the right side of the chest with the pants having a similar design.

Putting it on after a while, he looks at himself in the mirror and smirks, and as if his charisma was taking physical form, his face somehow morphs into something straight out of a shoujo anime or manga, his charisma transcending past the bounds of mortal man and nearing the borders of the divine, and he estimates he could order any mortal entities to kill themselves and defy their biological body's natural orders and follow his order in a few more years of development, though instructing any human to follow his bidding is as easy as breathing for him though he doesn't like to use it that much, preferring to do everything by himself due to how unreliable others are.

Nodding his head, he finally opens his system while levitating the cooked scrambled eggs out of the searing hot pan into a white plate and plopping it down on the wooden table in his living room.

"Buy 10 Stat Points and put it all in Mind," Braun mutters while sitting down on his couch and grabbing his fork to start eating his meal.

Nodding his head, he hastily eats all of the scrambled eggs into his mouth while he tests his new power out, from lifting forks to making spherical splotches of orange juice, he easily did some complex tasks for a newbie like him due to his absurd Mind Stat.

'Hmm, I did hold back a lot back in Quirkverse without using my absurd perception and analytical mind but considering the Immortal King of Academy City basically has the same ability, it should be fair and hasten my progress in this world to incomprehensible speeds without looking too suspicious to the system.' Braun thought, but if somebody was to read his mind at that time, they would only hear nothing due to a technique he developed years ago when he was traveling through the fabrics of space-time in Quirkverse.

Standing up and chugging down all of the orange juice in his glass cup, he lets out a yawn and telekinetically grabs his bag from the other end of the room directly into his right arm.

With a thud, his arm now holds the black bag and he heads out of his room by opening the wooden door by scanning his left palm once more, with a ding, the metallic silver door opens and he gets out of his room to reach Zenith Academy, the place where the world's most brilliant of minds are born, formed, and created.

Walking through the door, the silver door behind him automatically closes and he walks to the wall blocking him from falling out of the open corridor of the dorm complex.

Grinning, he puts both of his arms on top of the wall and as he kicks off the ground, he jumps off the corridor towards the ground at rapid falling speeds.

As his hair flutters with the wind along with his uniform getting messed up, he connected his mind to the Psychic Force around him and glances at the ground with perceptive eyes.

Nearing the smooth path made of stone-like material below him, the people on the ground look at him with wide eyes at the dangerous stunt he was doing but they all let out a collective sigh of relief when his body suddenly halts midair just as he was about to land on the ground and splatter into a meat paste.

Gently dropping down to the ground on both of his feet, he crouches down and runs off into a drastically fast sprint many times beyond the levels of the average human due to his Body being 50, with the people around him shouting in surprise at the blur that moves pass them, many skirts were flip towards the sky due to the wind pressure he was producing causing many to blush in lust or embarrassment, and many soon praised that shadowy blur in their minds.

'7:16 am, I would be able to reach Zenith Academy at 7:19 am at my current pace. But… bingo!' Braun shouts in his mind when he sees a yellow blur running on the open street where cars drive by at rapid speeds, outrunning them with ease showing their drastic movement speed.

As if the world around him slows down, Braun's eyes dilated and the yellow blur right beside him was revealed to be a student wearing the same uniform as him was shown, having blond hair and golden eyes, his muscular body showing through the tight uniform he was wearing.

But Braun went further than that, soon, the Level 5 Esper Speedster named Flash's body was dissected in front of him, from his muscles moving, to the twitches of nerves and blood vessels, and how his AIM field interacted with reality, the principles, secrets, nearly everything about Flash's body and ability was revealed to him like an open book to read, an ability Rick wields that is one of the essential talents he holds but to a more absurd degree that is one of the foundations of his god-like intelligence.

As the info enters his mind, his AIM field slowly contorts in its nature, and with a crimson red glow covering his whole, his grin widens and a boom erupts from him as the epicenter while a small dent was left on the ground where he kicked off the ground.

'A fifth of the speed of sound, a Level 3 Esper ability, to reach Level 5, I would need to reach the speed of sound. But with this… I would need less than a minute to reach Zenith Academy.' Braun thought in his mind as a crimson blur runs through the street while his thirst for growth slowly grows stronger within his very mind and soul, to understand the secrets of reality and bend them on a whim, to achieve the level of Gods and perhaps something even beyond that, to have the whole multiverse for himself, a grand end goal that no being would hope to be able to achieve, but he was no mere mortal, for he was Freidrich Braun, the future Final Boss of the Multiverse.
