It could only mean that the person who tapped him was invisible. 

Realizing that, he was petrified. He knew it was me.

"Ahhh... no!"

He screamed with his eyes wide open.

In the next instant, the gun in his hand was snatched away by me (s).

Bang!

"Arghh!"

I(s) kicked and punched him and he could not fight back since he wasn't able to see me(s).

*a reminder = (s) stand for spirit to clarify actions done in a spirit-like form.

Then I(s) aimed the gun at him. Since I(s) could not be seen, the gun looked like it was floating in the air. In other words, everyone could only see the gun in the air aiming at the cop.

After a few seconds, I(s) threw the gun at me. In a millisecond I(s) had already teleported back into my body. I caught the gun and immediately started moving toward the cop. 

"I'm afraid of a gun right?"

I asked.

Everyone was dumbstruck beyond words. Everyone clearly saw my strange and mysterious abilities. They were frightened. 

This time, in their eyes, I was like a fierce deity that had come to punish. 

"I... I was... I was stubborn. Forgive me"

The cop stammered as he trembled with fear. 

By this moment, I was only a few steps away from him. 

"If I didn't exhibit my powers what would you do? I'm telling you, you would have continued ill-treating me. You would have beaten and scolded me mercilessly.

"You're a goofball who doesn't know any better. In the car, I didn't want to cause any trouble so I stayed quiet but you took that as an advantage and provoked me. 

"You thought my silence was weak and fearful. But you should know that silence does not mean weak. Silence can mean anything. It can mean evil, danger, patience, and many others.

"Silence is much terrifying practice because you can't anticipate what is behind it. I mean, what a silent person is thinking about? Maybe he is thinking of pulling out a hidden gun and shooting you?. But you'll be clueless about it and if you're a goofball, you'll be insulting that person. 

"What will be the result?"

After saying those true words I pulled out this question. 

"The person insulting the silent person will be shot"

The cop replied in a shaking voice. 

"Alright, before I leave I want you to keep this in mind. Silence does not mean weak."

As soon as I said these words, I gestured for Aston to follow me. I was about to leave. 

When I was the close to the doorway which led to a station lobby, the cop who was inspecting the arrested victims, the cop whom I beat and forced to open the cell gate closed the gate again. 

Apart from me and Aston, all the other arrested ones were still inside. They were petrified to the point that they couldn't move a muscle and leave the cell. 

Only when the cop closed the gate and was about to lock it, did they come back to their senses. They realized that this was their chance to flee the station.

They rushed toward the gate and began pushing it but it was too late. The cop had already placed a lock and the only had to push the locked and locked the gate. Thus, their attempt was considered futile. 

At this moment, I stopped in my tracks and turned around. The cop saw me glancing at him coldly. He immediately felt a cold chill running down his spine.

"Should I release them?"

He asked with a sullen expression on his face.

I nodded and he immediately opened the gate. The men apart from the thin gangster hurriedly left the cell leaving only the thin gangster still lying on the cell's floor. He neither died nor passed out. He was just too weak to get up.

When they were about to run past me, I stretched my arm and blocked their way. They, of course, stopped and even retreated a few steps backward. 

Fear was written on all their faces. At the same time, they were surprised. I was the one who had let them leave but now I was stopping them.

"You, come!"

I called the man in the front of them. 

He obeyed and came to me with an ugly face. He thought I had found something wrong with him and that I wanted to punish him. 

"Here I am"

He said in a hushed voice.

"What crime have you committed to end up be arrested?"

The man was timid, he replied honestly. 

"I was found with drugs. I'm addicted to drugs."

His words slightly surprised me. This man was too honest.

And I was also touched. I knew the life of an addicted person as well as the challenges he or she face.

A drug addicted person's soul is always willing to stop but the body isn't. The war of body and soul broke out and wrecked the battlefield which is the victim's life.

Whether which side is winning the victim still loss.

"Alright, head to the dead end laneway on the 31st street wait for me. I'll find you there anytime sooner."

I gave him a way and he went out of the room.

I blocked the way again and intently glared at a chubby man who was in front of all other men. Of course everyone understood what I was conveying with my gaze. It was the chubby man's turn. 

He nervously dragged himself forward and took the initiative to speak. 

"I... I'm suspected to have shot and gravely injure someone on a robbery."

He couldn't lie because the cops were present there but was still careful with his words. He said he was suspected unlike the previous man who directly said he was found with drugs.

"Of course, return to the damn cell."

I said while smiling mockingly. 

I couldn't tolerate such despicable deeds. What if the one shot was my relative or a friend.

The chubby man turned around with a gloomy face, seemingly exasperated. This was a big blow to him. He sluggishly walked toward the cell in dismay.

Moreover, I've explained the hint just now. You still can't answer? Raymond!"Said Miss Cathy in displeasure.A tall and a bit thin young man stood up while smiling wryly. He was Raymond, the most outstanding student in the class and even the entire grade 12."I can try. Err..it's when specific particles of a solid object are pulled by an external force. These particles are generally of the same or similar trope. These particles are attracted and merged before being pulled out. However, they can not be pulled out completely and turn into individual objects"Raymond explained elegantly making Miss Cathy continuously and pleasantly nod in agre

    I got superpowers!I could do things by just deeply thinking about them and then agreeing with my mind. At that moment, my spirit would leave my body and do what I wanted while my body become unconscious.I, in form of a spirit, could move from my body to anywhere but no one could see me because a spirit can not be seen.But what so-called I in form of a spirit was distinct from normal spirits. I could do what a normal spirit could not afford. For example, I could touch and carry physical things.I controlled everything including movements by my mind just as a normal person can do.'These superpowers obviously had something to do with the strange sparkling light that appeared a moment ago.'I thought.However, all these students couldn't understand this. I was the only shrewd person.

    This day, the laneway was so hushed. An unpleasant smell from dumb bins along the laneway invaded my nostrils. However, I had stayed in extremely shabby downtowns before and I was used to those smells.The walls were covered with different kinds of beautiful graffiti. I liked the art, it gave the impression that you're in another colorful world.All of the sudden, 4 skaters approached and surrounded me out of nowhere.They all wore black leather jackets. At the back of the jackets was a skull drawing. Below the skull, the word 'MENUS' was written in an elegant and clear font.Two of them wore black bandanas as masks on their mouths. The other two wore red bandanas around their heads.Two boys stood on my left and right side, one stood at my back and the other one stood in my front. They completely blocked my way.However, I expected them. The laneway illegally belonged to a gang called 'Menus' in which these boys were members.I initially avoided this way to prevent bumping into thes

    A hard kick sent the boy to the ground. By this time, the boy whom I tripped over his foot had already gotten up and was approaching me with a skateboard in his hands.He swung a skateboard towards me. Two fists landed on it, one after another. I felt pain in my fist even when I(s) punched while in form of spirit. But when I(s) returned to my body the pain vanished and it was when I sent another punch in form of the body.Departing and returning to my body was happening in less than a second. Moreover, to return or depart, I didn't have to walk from or to my body. Where I need to reach I would reach it immediately. When I want to return I would just agree with my mind and I would be in my body immediately.It was like teleporting from and to my body.For example, if I stood somewhere and wanted to sit on a chair that was 20 feet away, the moment I agreed to do it with my mind, I would instantly find myself(s) sitting on the chair. Thus, none of the boys noticed that something was ami

    The sound emitted by the impact was ear splitting. I wanted the cops who were in rooms few ten feet away to hear it. "Brat! Do you want to damage our ears?"A man with long beard and hair said grumbled. The rest had the same question in their heads. Some felt strong urge to punch me. I stepped closer and held the bars of the doors. I shook and it made even louder noise "What's going here? Are you asking for a good beating?"Finally a surprised and grumpy cop appeared. He shot a cold glance at me. He opened his mouth to speak but I interrupted him. "I'm not asking for a good beaten, I'm asking for a good release. I need to get out!"I shouted.. The cop couldn't help being astonished. Judging from my appearance, I wasn't a criminal. He wondered what gave me a nerve to act that way. "Alright, let me teach you a lesson"The cop said through gritted teeth while moving pointing at me with a baton. Bang! The loud sound of a flesh hitting a metal burst out. I(s) dragged the cop an

    "What's wrong Aston, why are you here?"I asked curiously while fixedly staring at him. His face had a trace of surprise. It was certain that he hadn't expect me to be arrested too."Oh. He is your friend. I just taught him some manners"These words were said by the thin gangster.'So he is the one who beaten up Aston. I have to teach him some manners' I thought. Nevertheless, I ignored him for now. I first had to find out the reason Aston was arrested. I got a hunch that he had been treated unfairly. "Tell me Aston."I asked in hushed voice that only Aston could hear me.I didn't want the thin gangster to poke his nose in our business. "I'm going to prison, I'm finished"Aston whimpered.I could see desperation on his pale face. Seeing him in this pitiful situation, my heart ached. "Aston, you won't go to prison. Tell me what happened? I help you get out here."My hand was scrubbing his head. It looked like a father consoling his young son.He didn't understand why I asserted t

Offending Menus, a crime organization was the main reason these cops were here. 'I'll face them'I made up my mind and approached them. I walked only a few steps before they noticed. "Hands up! you're under arrest for an assault." One of them shouted as he pointed a gun at me. When others saw this scene, they also aimed their pistols at me. "Anything you say, may be used as evidence against you in court of law"The cop added. 'In court of law? How funny?' I was ready to spend some time in police cell but not in prison cell. Moreover, I had just beaten up a bully as a defense. That was a trivial matter between teenagers. How could it escalate to the extent of going to the court of law. I stood where I was and raised my hands. My face was expressionless. The cops carefully approached and arrested me. I could tell that they were aware of my superpower

    As usual, I didn't wait for a school bus.Davis stayed in another neighborhood not Haworth, therefore I often go back home alone.Immersed in thoughts, the world around me, seemed not to exist. "Ethan! The Thous!"Loud voice snapped me back to my senses.Wandering my eyes, I saw a modified truck moving along the street closely beside me.The truck's hood was filled with graffiti. Its front bumper was modified in a way that it looked like a monster truck. It was strange and attractive. Looking clearly, I realized that the truck was initially a mere pick up.The truck produced loud mechanical noise that invaded the area including my ears. I couldn't understand why I didn't notice it a moment ago. With the mixture with rap music played, the atmosphere was incredibly noisy.Since the car seemed to be originally a pick up, it had a truck bed in which a bunch of young thungs sat. In the front seats, someone had poked his head through a window.He was the one who had yelled at me. I recogni

I instinctively raised my and glanced at him. He wasn't even looking at me. He was staring at the other people on the table. Behind him, stood two guys. The same guys that were with him yesterday at the dead end lane. According to what he said, Fred and his two friends alone wanted to occupy a table which could accommodate 8 people. How brazen! "I won't repeat myself"He added causing everyone to glance at me with expectant gazes. They wanted to see how I would handle this. After all, I was a superhuman just like Fred. I didn't say or do anything and I was not planning to do anything. I had to observe Fred's abilities before taking any action against him. After all, fighting with Fred might concern my reputation and health. Moreover, according to my uncle's advice, showing prowess was not a heroic chara

    My expression started to brighten. I was delighted but I didn't dare to show my excitement instead I listened to his words attentively. "However, there are a bunch of enemies who will attempt to snatch away all those opportunities from you."These words fazed me a bit despite being already aware that some people would become my enemies and would go against I. "Do you know who are these enemies?"He asked as he raised his head and glared at me. All this while he had his head lowered, almost touching his dining plate. Some seconds passed before I processed and realized that this wasn't part of his speech but rather a question needs me to respond. The reason being, I fell into deep thoughts, thinking about his words. "Oh... al... alright. Of course, I know some of these enemies."I replied with unnatural shaking voice. Even though, my reply wasn't direct as I didn't mention the names of the enemies, my uncle still knew I misunderstood him and that I was thinking of some jealousy pe

    In fact, I wasn't running because I feared him but because I was still not aware of how strong he was at the maximum. I thought it was a good idea to wait and observe before getting into a serious battle with him. **** "Pheww!" I sighed while slightly shaking my head as I sluggishly climbed up the stairs. On the first day as a superhuman I got humiliated and embarrassed. Suddenly, a bright light flashed in my mind. That was a thought that contained a useful and important observation concerning my superpowers. 'When the soundbox that Fred kicked, crashed onto me, I felt pain even though I was in form of spirit. But after returning to my body the pain vanished. The same happened when I was fighting with Dominic and his underlings. I(s) punched a skateboard and felt the pain. But the pain vanished when I(s) returned into my body.' "Pheww!"I sighed again before continuing with my thoughts. 'Does that mean ...' **** It was past six in the evening.
