Superior Energy (1)

Link still couldn't get through what happened as he stood there for a while. 'What Key?' Link thought. He looked at the messages again.

<<Resonance With the Universe 24%>>

<<Realm's Peak Level Reached>>

<<Detecting The Heavenly Gate's Key>>>

<<Open The Gate? Yes/No>>

'What is Resonance With the Universe? What Heavenly Gate's Key? Since when did I have a key?' Link had so many questions but no answers. He didn't want to ask Ora or Zero as well. They were unable to see the last messages so Link decided to keep it that way.

<Link? What's wrong?>

"Nothing" Link answered as he started heading towards the spot he last left his squad. 'Did they perhaps leave?' He wondered.

For the Heavenly Key and Gate, Link threw them to the back of his head. He had a small theory though that helped him ease his mind slightly. Considering the Realm's Peak Level Reached message, Link assumed that he no longer belonged here, and where else could he go to? Heaven... Link knows that his thoughts were blasphemous, but what else could he think? Especially with the Detecting The Heavenly Gate's Key and Open The Gate messages.

Boom!

The moment he started flying like he always did, something terrifying happened. An explosion occurred where he was, and the next second his body vanished.

A few kilometres away, Link appeared again in a daze, looking around.

"I just barely moved!" Link spoke.

[Your body is on the edge of the mortal realm, what did you expect? Go slowly and try to learn how to control your powers before going anywhere close to mortals]

"O..ok" Link landed softly before he started heading to an open area. He had to keep himself under control or he might accidentally kill somebody.

…

For 2 days, in a forest clearing, sounds of ear piercing explosions and earthquakes erupted. All life forms, either beasts or animals, dared not get anywhere near it. It felt like a battle between terrifying existences, but if anyone saw the cause and knew what this person was attempting, they would most likely doubt their sanity.

"Yes!" Link said excitedly. "I can control my speed and strength properly now"

Link for the past 2 days had been trying to control himself. Whenever he tried to run, the ground would rise as if a bomb exploded underneath as he would slam into a mountain or two. He was a walking disaster.

With everything settled, he started flying towards his Squad, which he could sense easily. Even though they were hundreds of kilometres away from him, he could feel their every move, every breath and hear every sound. It was freaky. But this was not a surprise. As on his control training a day ago, he discovered that his Psychic Powers in the tab were different.

Three dots appeared as well. When he pressed on it, a few Psychic Skills appeared in front of him.

<Apportation> <The disappearance or teleportation of the User from one place to another, as long as his Psy reaches>

<Astral Projection> <The ability to voluntarily project an astral body or mental body, being associated with the out-of-body experience, in which one's consciousness is felt to temporarily separate from the physical body>

<Divination> <The ability to gain insight into a situation>

<Energy medicine> <The ability to heal with one's own empathic, etheric, astral, mental or spiritual energy>

<Levitation> <The ability to float or fly using Psychic Energy>

<Materialization> <The creation of objects and materials or the appearance of matter from unknown sources>

<Mediumship> <The ability to communicate with spirits>

<Premonition> <The ability to perceive future events>

<Psychokinesis> <The ability to influence a physical system without physical interaction, typically manifesting as being able to exert force, control objects and move matter with one's mind>

<Psychometry> <The ability to obtain information about a person or an object by touch>

<Pyrokinesis> <The ability to control flames, fire, or heat using one's mind>

<Telesthesia> <The ability to see a distant or unseen target using extrasensory perception>

<postcognition> <The ability to supernaturally perceive past events>

<Telepathy – The ability to transmit or receive thoughts supernaturally>

Link had enough Psychic Points to activate all of them and so he did. He read each Skill slowly and the more he read, the more confused he was.

"Aren't most of these can be easily done using spells?" Link asked.

[Indeed, but why do you think the Psychic Core and Psychic Powers are so rare and sought after?]

"It doesn't use Mana?" Link answered. "It gives a Mage 2 different pools of energies in which will give him a boost in strength"

[That is true, yes, but no!]

"No?"

[Spells are a manifestation of a pre-set Mana Structure. All Mages have to do is speak the incantation, manifest the spell in their imagination and circle their Mana as is spoken in the Spell book, then done, a fireball or whatever... But all of these steps are very difficult to perform, which is why some Mages specialize in a certain field and or can no longer advance since their comprehension is not strong enough to understand and use higher Level Spells…]

"Why are you telling me all of this?"

[You don't get it? You can use Spells/Skills instantly because of your System, but others have to learn the Spells properly, and when someone with Psychic Abilities appear, that can manifest Spells out of nothing but their own mind and support them with Mana, he is invincible]

"I understand, but what is your point from all of this?" Link asked.

[My point is that Spells did not just appear out of nothing, someone, sometime at some point created said Spells and Magic.. Now where do you think these visualizations came from?]

"Psychic Abilities?"

[Correct! Back in the ancient times, Magic did not exist, only a few people with supernatural abilities had the power to protect their kin, until the gods provided a path for the rest, which was Magic]

"So Psychic Powers existed before Magic? And?" Link asked.

[What i'm saying is that Magic is an imitation of Psychic Abilities, stupid. Pure Energy like the Psychic Energy is in its own realm. Mana is the same, but people don't have the talent to manipulate Mana properly, so they need a medium]

"Which is the Spell Books/Formulas"

[Yes! And now that you have Unlocked all of your Psychic Abilities, Magic is useless to you, it's nothing but a waste of Mana. Instead, use Psychic Abilities and mix in some Mana, then you'll truly earn your title as a Level 10 Archmage!]

Link nodded before he moved. He instantly Teleported, but there was something different from his usual Blink spell. There was no distortion in space of any sort, as if he was never there in the first place.

"Interesting!" He muttered.
