06: Cultivation Time?

Klein decided to play with the two girls. Why? Because it was fun!

As you can see, Klein is not very... Sane.

But who cares!?

Klein followed the car that Chloe and Max were from above, by flying. They were going to Chloe's secret spot, also known as a giant trash can with several rooting and rusty metal, glass, plastic, and with a train rail near, it was a junkyard. Klein landed on a tree and watched as Max went to find bottles and Chloe was preparing a shooting range... Guns and beer are the best combinations you could ever ask for! Klein continued there as he watched the two girls speak, Max even pointed at a rusty car bumper that the stupid Chloe shoot, which resulted in the bullet reflecting and hitting her straight in the guts.

Then comes the great Max, rewinding time to have her friend once again, just as she finished doing that, Klein was sure that the butterfly on top of Chloe's head grew in size and Max's fate thread was wrapping around the white string of Chloe's fate. It was strange for Klein because he could see fate's strings, but there were very few amounts of people with those strings above their heads... Klein just saw both Chloe and Max with those, no one else seemed to have such strings which were odd, Klein thought he would see more people with those strings around, but no. On the flight to this junkyard, Klein saw no one else with those strings and it made him even more interested in those two.

As time returned to normal, Klein decided to do what he wanted to do, his wings expanded and he flew, landing on the ground near the duo, still invisible. All they felt was the wind blow and create a cloud of dust, from where the handsome 6'6 brown-haired Klein emerged from. "I warned you, girl. Stop playing with time." Klein was thinking about what kind of persona he would put on, the wa he should act with those two teenagers. To tell the truth, he hated teenagers, they were very noisy and annoying... He liked kids though, they and their innocence that didn't know how the world worked... How they didn't know the wicked acts someone can do to others.

"You?" Chloe asked with a surprised expression. "Who are you?" Max asked, they haven't met officially yet, so Klein could sigh and maybe... Maybe he could have the same power she has? How does he adapt to it? He would need to have her use her power on him, but her power is technically not direct but indirect. "Me? Klein Knight. I'm here because of you." Klein smirked inside his mind when Max showed a surprised/scared expression... Was he a sadist to mess with people just to see their reaction and laugh? Maybe. "You've been playing with things you should not do, even now. Time is not something someone can play with... It is extremely dangerous! You could have destroyed reality, you know that, right?"

It is true. Time can destroy reality if the damage is enough, the damage is mostly caused by the time travel itself and other butterfly effects. One way to impede it is the destination point and anchor point strategy, for safe time travel, or you can be skilled on time travel to just go and avoid breaking reality. "What are you talking about? Time travel? Are you nuts? And what are you doing here anyway, Punk Puncher" Chloe acted like she didn't know what he was talking about, which was good acting and may fool someone who didn't know her. "Chloe, do not try to hide from me because I already know. I feel it every time you rewind lady. Do you know how dangerous that shit is? Now there's a disaster coming because of the butterfly effect..."

Max looked confused for a second and asked: "How do you know? How did you know it was me? Do you know why I have these powers? Do you know why is there a tornado coming to Arcadia Bay? Can-" Max was going to ask him again when Klein sighed as pointed at them: "You two are connected by fate. Just... Do not to die." As he said that, a cloud of dust surged around his body and he was gone. What Klein just did was to make them curious, he wanted them to feel curious and ask themselves about him because then his persona as a mysterious figure would grow. Also what he did was expand his wings while hiding them with [Meta Powers: Invisibility (C)] and flap them to create the cloud of dust, which he used as cover to go full invisible and fly away.

"Ah, man... I love messing with people... I think I might not be so sane after those... Seconds? Minutes? Hours? Days? Week? Months? Years? I don't remember very well how much time I spent in that arena fighting for my life... I feel a little at peace now." Klein had fun and that was enough for him for now... Maybe now he can begin to think about stopping this typhoon that will come to Arcadia Bay? He can try, first, he will need to get the ability to control the wind or Aerokinesis, it is pretty simple to get! All he needs to do is spread his energy in the air and control the energy to take control of the air, controlling the air too. Doing that for some time, he finally got the ability he needed:

[Ability Registered:

[Manipulation: Wind (B)]

Please have a nice day.]

One thing Klein discovered: The complete difference between [Manilulation] and [Magical Powers] abilities regarding elements: With [Manipulation] abilities, you manipulate already existing elements, without the element there, you can't manipulate it! But Klein suspects that [Magical Powers] can not only control the element but also create it! Which places it above [Manipulation] abilities that are related to elements... Maybe if the [Manipulation] was something not elemental, like [Manipulation: Time] or [Manipulation: Space]... 'But I guess they won't fall in the [Manipulation] category but on the [Meta Powers] category... This is a little confusing.' Klein was quick to arrive at his destination: The lighthouse, he wanted to get a view of Arcadia Bay... This is a beautiful city full of people he doesn't know and possibly doesn't care. Should he do something about the typhoon? No! He certainly should! Not because of the people, but because it may be good practice for him to get his abilities to a greater level! But it would tire him fast because it takes energy, and energy for him takes blood, and blood can be produced fast by his body as long as he has enough nutrients...

It is time for him to learn more about alternative ways to get energy! Maybe he should try and explore other types of energy that he can try to use? Chi...? Mana? Divine? Prana? With his [Superior Adaptability] his body will be able to use any type of energy he wants, maybe he should create a container on his body that contains the energy he produces. Like a core in cultivation, but the energy he uses will be produced by himself, which makes them even more "pure", so he can break through his cultivation level... This joke sucks.

He will just store energy in his body and be done with it. Maybe in the future, he will be able to produce infinite energy? First things first, he needs to learn how to use magic to know how much energy every kind of spell uses...
