Still can't change the fact that you're a ■■ at heart

Miss Selene's discourse was anticipated to be inconsequential, yet she astoundingly unveiled a veritable bombshell. Observing the aqueous sphere hovering in Miss Selene's palm, Jonas parted his lips, only to find his intended words vanished from his mind.

The maiden's cross-version manifestation proved somewhat beyond Jonas's expectations. He had entertained numerous possibilities, yet never fathomed that his conjectures would materialize. Furthermore, assessing her current demeanor... Miss Selene's awakening was nothing short of extraordinary.

Psychic entities, irrespective of version placement, hold a T0 classification. If rarity were to be delineated by star ratings, with five stars signifying utmost rarity, then any psychic entity would minimally be classified as four-star.

Naturally, psychic entities began to manifest more frequently after the psychic tide, preceding which, during the early to mid-stages of the game, information regarding psychic entities was scant at best. However, without exception, the earlier a psychic entity appeared, the higher their demonstrated potential.

Those psychic entities whose awakening was publicized prior to the psychic tide and survived until the game's end were invariably characters of five-star rarity. Miss Tianyu was one such individual... and one of the few characters whose performance remained consistently stable from the inception to the closure of the version.

Now, as the time for the psychic tide's commencement approached... Jonas shook his head, hesitating to delve further. For presently, there was no news regarding psychic entities in the entire 25th district. At least for now, Selene was the sole individual Jonas knew of, apart from Miss Tianyu's last child, to have awakened psychic abilities.

Moreover, judging by her demeanor, it seemed her awakening might have occurred about a month earlier, a quality of significant worth, indicative of at least a five-star rarity character. "Besides me, have you exhibited this ability in front of anyone else?" Jonas inquired, as though struck by a realization.

"No," Selene shook her head, then added, "Not even my sister is aware of this." Hearing this, Jonas breathed a sigh of relief. Observing the water sphere suspended in the girl's palm, he earnestly admonished, "Remember, you must not display this ability in front of anyone else.

It's not something to boast about, and it may very well attract unwanted attention." Selene nodded in response, then hesitated before saying, "Can't I tell my sister?" "No," Jonas affirmed. It wasn't a matter of mistrust towards Esni, but divulging such information would inevitably cause unnecessary worry, particularly given that, at this juncture, psychic entities were not a common phenomenon...

This transcendent existence across versions puzzled Jonas as to why she would awaken psychic abilities at this time. After all, unlike Miss Tianyu, he had deliberately heightened the girl's emotions through words and actions to induce the premature awakening of her psychic abilities...

Aside from conventional treatment, Jonas hadn't done anything extra for Miss Selene, rendering her awakening of psychic talent quite enigmatic. Nonetheless, Jonas didn't dwell excessively on this matter. Since it had happened, he would attempt to accept it. Besides, it wasn't a bad thing; with proper guidance, it was akin to acquiring a five-star rare employee almost effortlessly.

——Plunk. Accompanied by the sound, the water sphere landed on the bedding, drenching both the girl's sheets and quilt. Selene hastily lifted the bedding, but unfortunately, the water had seeped into the cotton batting. She looked somewhat embarrassedly at Jonas, then stuck out her tongue and said, "Couldn't control it."

Witnessing this scene, Jonas felt somewhat helpless. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Apart from manipulating objects with telekinesis, what else can you do?" Hearing this, Selene shook her head and replied, "For now, that's all I can do." Jonas silently made an assessment.

Judging from the girl's description, her level of psychic awakening was likely in the initial stage, the entry-level phase. Typically, within three months of awakening psychic abilities, individuals would reach this stage. To achieve this stage within a month was relatively swift, especially considering it was before the psychic tide appeared, which indirectly demonstrated the girl's potential.

"For now, I can only manipulate relatively light objects with this power... and the duration is not particularly long. But I can clearly sense this power continuously growing," Selene said, tilting her head and pausing before continuing, "Initially, it was just objects like cups, but gradually, I could even add water to a cup using this power..."

With these words, she leaned towards Jonas's ear, exhaled, and said, "I believe that if I continue, I'll be able to do more exciting things with this ability, Mr. Jonas." ——Plunk. Jonas unhesitatingly flicked the girl's forehead with his finger, then said sternly, "Have you no dignity?

You're already thinking of such things right after awakening your ability?" Selene instinctively covered her forehead, looking at Jonas with a somewhat aggrieved expression, and said with a resentful tone, "But Mr. Jonas seemed excited just now."

——Apologize to those higher-dimensional beings in the virtual realm for me! Jonas coughed twice, not denying that he had indeed entertained some inappropriate thoughts regarding Miss Selene's words earlier, but instead changed the subject, saying, "Anyway, be cautious in using this power yourself, and remember not to reveal it to outsiders."

"Got it," Selene replied with her head down. After a while, she raised her head and said, "When I'm discharged, will Mr. Jonas come to see me?" "Hmm." "Will my sister come then?" "She will." Upon hearing Jonas's response, the girl seemed conflicted, then asked, "Can I be discharged twice, once for you and once for my sister?"

"What are you thinking?" Jonas said, feeling somewhat speechless at Selene's suggestion. "If you insist on coming with my sister, then let her drive, and I'll sit in the back with Mr. Jonas," Selene suggested with a flash of insight, as if she had come up with something, then continued, "And then I can help you with telekinesis..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she received another flick on the forehead, abruptly halting her speech that might have been blocked anyway. Jonas looked somewhat helplessly at the girl covering her forehead. ——Even after awakening her psychic abilities, this girl's mind is still filled with rubbish. Utterly lacking in decorum.
