Back to New York

But additional applications of her powers were giving her a headache. Her past self had been a slacker in studies and had forgotten much of her science knowledge since then. The previous Daisy was even worse, always immersed in the Bible recitations, singing hymns. While the school had less aversion to modern physics compared to its stance on Darwin, the curriculum still lacked sufficient depth and content.

Similar to how physical education classes were frequently substituted with other activities, Daisy's memories often depicted a recurring scene where the physics teacher was absent, and the theology teacher took charge of the classroom, leading everyone in reading the Bible.

Faced with concepts like vibrations, frequencies, transverse waves, and string vibrations, which seemed incomprehensible, it could be said that both the previous Daisy and the current one were utterly confused.

Whether in her past or present life, they were equally bewildered.

As a slacker in academics, Daisy could only start learning from scratch.

Fortunately, it was the age of the internet, and as long as she wanted to learn something unless it involved cutting-edge scientific advancements, she could basically search for the knowledge she needed.

As for how much she could learn, it depended on the individual.

After briefly going through various academic theories, Daisy's mind was left in a mess, so she decided to go back and study them in detail later.

Putting away the laptop and lying on the bed, she now has a problem to face: her power's limitation.

Similar to the Inhuman King, Black Bolt, possessed the ability to level a city with just a word and even affect powerful beings like the comic Thanos with a scream. However, his weakness lay in his inability to control these immense powers.

Due to the extreme danger posed by this power, he had to undergo rigorous mental training to prevent himself from uttering a sound, even in his sleep, and he usually remains completely silent and speaks through sign language or via a spokesperson.

Daisy is aware of her problem—her vibrations also had a negative impact on her own body. The effects of force are mutual; she caused vibrations, and this part of the vibrations would also be fed back to her.

In her original timeline, Daisy's frequent use of her powers resulted in minor bone fractures in her arms. She had to take special medication to maintain her ability.

Without making a lateral comparison, Daisy had run a long way, and she felt that her body was slightly more robust than her original timeline. Perhaps this was the advantage of using the Terrigen Mist exclusively.

Furthermore, she believed that she had more precise control over her abilities compared to her original timeline.

Precise control granted her another ability—to instinctively perceive the nature of people by sensing their unique vibrations. With this power, Daisy could judge whether someone was good or evil, similar to seeing green or red name tags in a game.

A much more precise control also had another advantage—it could counteract the recoil of firearms.

On average, men tend to have higher levels of upper body strength compared to women due to biological differences, which can include differences in wrist and arm strength. Numerous female agents use a two-handed grip when handling firearms to mitigate recoil's impact and enhance their shooting performance.

But with her vibration-based powers, Daisy could now fire a gun effortlessly, using them to lessen the recoil and minimize strain on her body. This practice also served as a valuable exercise, allowing her to refine and master her control over her newfound abilities.

Thanks to her enhanced physical fitness and significantly improved reaction time, speed, and endurance, coupled with her powers following the activation of her bloodline, her marksmanship has improved by leaps and bounds. Although hitting every shot while running remains challenging, she can confidently participate in amateur shooting competitions and achieve impressive rankings.

In the early stages, using her powers put a strain on her body, so she needed to pursue precision and achieve more with the smallest application of her abilities.

Doing short-range shockwaves like the original timeline was something she could do, but she felt that it was a relatively low-level usage of her powers and caused considerable damage to her body.

Once her physical fitness became more robust, she could be like Whitebeard and cause huge shockwaves, or even split the sea—these would not be difficult tasks.

Or, she could wait until she figured out quantum mechanics, and just like the DC character Vibe, open dimensional channels, and touch objects to sense their location—all of which were within her reach.

In short, her future is bright!

With the incident in Puerto Rico coming to an end, she continued to pretend to search for her parents for two more days. After the local police assured her that they would notify her as soon as they had any news about her parents, Daisy promptly boarded a flight back to New York.

Upon her return to New York, Daisy was thrilled because she now had superpowers!

As Daisy walked home, she used her vibration frequency perception to instinctively assess the people she encountered, training that aspect of her power.

Returning to her rental house, she saw her roommate, Angela, watching makeup videos on the phone.

"Stop that makeup, that colour doesn't suit you..." Angela was wearing headphones and humming while commenting about the video, not even noticing Daisy entering.

Daisy couldn't resist letting out a loud sigh.

"Ah, Daisy! You're back!" Angela was very friendly, threw away the phone, and gave her a big hug.

After greeting Angela, Daisy asked about what had happened in the school during her absence.

However, Angela's next statement caught her off guard. With a serious tone, she said, "You know, the school staff has been quite busy lately. Our school is going to be closed."
