Understanding the Hability

"Hey friend, are you okay?" a voice was heard beside Brandon. It was Thomas, one of Brandon's roommates.

Brandon focused his attention on him. He also noticed two new faces different from those who accompanied Thomas previously.

"What happened?" he asked, confused.

Thomas spoke friendly as he saw that nothing was wrong with Brandon and answered, "You screamed suddenly, making everyone wake up scared. But we saw you crying and thought you had a nightmare."

Getting up from the bed, Brandon walked to the bathroom. Opening the door, he looked back and replied, "It's nothing, don't worry."

Thomas could only sigh and sit next to the others while they talked about Brandon's personality. They had barely seen him, but they had the impression that he was a man of few words and not very sociable.

...

It was 7:30 A.M, a group of classmates were walking while chatting and introducing themselves to another classmate.

"I'm Thomas, and these people next to me are: Susy, Dylan, Pedro, and Deisy." Among these people, Thomas was the most sociable, while the others didn't try to get along with Brandon.

"I'm Brandon, nice to meet you," he had to maintain a stable relationship in the group since he would be working with them from now on.

They went to the Assembly class, but the content they received was theoretical.

Thomas explained to him that, although he arrived late, the classes had only been going on for a few weeks, and practical classes would only start in a few days.

The class passed slowly, making it seem like an eternity. When the bell rang, he left as if he had only one chance to leave that classroom.

"Darn, I forgot how boring these classes are," he grumbled to himself.

He wanted action, adventure, not these mechanics classes. He could have said that he had his thunder ability, but this could bring problems to his main ability, which he needed to study.

Today he was wearing simple clothes, a white t-shirt, black jeans, and sandals.

The school doesn't focus on the way students dress; they only have to wear a uniform when it comes to a competition where they have to represent the school or during a raid.

His peculiar way of dressing made many people look at him strangely.

Many mocked him, others simply thought he was crazy, while others thought he was just a very lazy person.

The truth is, he used to dress fashionably, but then he developed an obsession with common clothes. From shorts, loose pants, and he rarely used shoes or sneakers.

Looking at his tablet followed the direction that led him to the library. He wanted to learn more about the hunting dimension where he was.

When he arrived, there were few people so he felt comfortable without anyone bothering him.

The amount of books in this library was vast; It looked like a small palace of books.

He asked for help from one of the library assistants and after a while of searching, he found the book [Dimensions and their races].

He started reading the book, but what it contained was already things he knew, it was the basics to know.

The hunting dimensions were divided into 5, where the school was located was the first dimension. You would have to become stronger to withstand the pressure and energy of the other dimension, and so on the cycle continued.

He closed the book and put it on the shelf. Looking for something of interest, he decided to take some computer books since his main ability made him look like a software developer himself.

He took a book called [Quantum Computing] and when he took it, a voice was heard.

[A compatible information book with your ability has been detected]

[Understanding... 1%... 15%... 53%... 78%... 100%]

The information began to enter his brain and within seconds he had understood the book. He could tell that his ability had been activated during the time he tried to understand the book.

Brandon could only deduce that his ability allowed him to analyze an object and obtain its information, as he had not heard of anyone who, upon touching a book with information on his ability, immediately understood it.

To confirm this, he searched the section and touched [Nano Robotics], but no notification appeared. Thinking about what to do, he decided to activate his ability in the book himself. Energy began to cover the book and it transformed into information formed by "0 and 1".

'Oh Fuck, ¿How will I explain myself after this book gone missing?'

The information went through his forehead and was able to understand it. The book did not disappear, since after he got what he wanted, it returned to normal. 'Ufff that was close'. thought.

He had only consumed 2 energy points for this action. Since the energy needed was little. Brandon decided to learn different books such as [Mechanics], [Artificial Intelligence], [Robotics], [Production], among others.

Suddenly an idea came to his mind. He focused all his ability on his eyes, but when he did so, he could not see anything different.

What he did know was that his energy was draining out like crazy. With the thought that his analysis had failed he looked around and noticed a person walking, but they appeared in slow motion.

Additionally, he could notice how the energy moved through their body, their core, their shape, etc. Suddenly he felt a strong headache and lost the strength of his body and collapsed. ...

Slowly opening his eyes, he could see how the place where he was located was being revealed. He was in a white room lying on a stretcher.

Looking around, he almost jumped out of the stretcher in fright. A blonde woman wearing a white coat and glasses was sitting next to him, looking at him.

Grabbing his heart and almost getting off the stretcher, he said, "Do you want to kill me?"

With a smile, the woman only got up, walked to a desk, and took a document which she began to fill out.

A while later, she stopped and turned her gaze to Brandon, saying, "Do you plan on spending the whole day here? I know I may look like a goddess in your eyes, but you have to leave now that you've woken up."

Irritated and looking at the doctor who continued to stare at him, he could only think, "Who is this crazy narcissist? Is this how she treats her patients? Hmph, as if she were more beautiful than me."

Getting off the bed, he checked his body to make sure that the doctor had not touched any prohibited part of his body. "I'm still pure," he said with an air of sufficiency.

Walking, he began to wonder why he had fainted, but something clicked in his mind when he remembered that he had lasted almost a minute with the ability active. "Why didn't I receive an ability?"

'Well, it seems like I'll only be able to use it when I'm in grave danger or when my energy increases. Oh, I also need to improve my strength, but my plan will have to be put into action later when I learn more about this school.'

Seeing the capabilities of his ability, he had made some plans that, if they worked, would give him strength without having to go hunting, but he would have to test them first.

Lost in his thoughts, he felt hungry and decided that he should first go eat something...
