The afternoon sun bathed the rooftop of Total Martial High School in its warmth.
It was pleasantly warm, with a touch of summer heat.
Gu Cheng stretched lazily, his black hair glinting in the sunlight.
“A young body with good motor skills,” he mumbled to himself.
His gaze swept over the young men sweating it out on the distant sports field.
A week ago, he was just a regular college student on Earth, staying up late watching anime clips. When he woke up, he found himself in this world.
It wasn't a soul transfer.
It was a real, genuine transmigration.
His body had reverted back to sixteen years old.
His identity had become a first-year student at Total Martial High.
His parents had passed away, leaving behind a hefty inheritance and a detached villa in Chiba Prefecture.
At least he could live a leisurely life without having to work or study.
However, after living here for a while.
For Gu Cheng, the good news was that he had come to an anime world.
But the bad news was, this world wasn't a peaceful and friendly utopia. Superpowered individuals, monsters... various dangerous characters were everywhere.
Not long ago, a neighboring city was almost destroyed by a Dragon-level monster.
Only when the Rank 2 S-Class hero - Tatsumaki, the Tornado - took action, was the crisis finally resolved.
“Ding—”
At this moment, a clear chime sounded in Gu Cheng's mind, interrupting his thoughts.
“Hmm? What was that sound?”
Gu Cheng furrowed his brows in confusion, looking around, but found nothing unusual.
“New skill added every 24 hours, skill now active: Telekinesis.”
The cold mechanical voice sounded again.
Finally, Gu Cheng understood.
The voice was coming from his mind.
“Telekinesis? What's going on?!” Gu Cheng stood up.
Could it be… that he had obtained a cheat?
Thinking about it, Gu Cheng suppressed his excitement, took a deep breath, and focused his attention on the voice in his mind.
“System, are you there?”
Gu Cheng asked tentatively.
However.
No answer.
Only endless silence.
Seeing this, Gu Cheng shrugged helplessly, “This system isn't very smart…”
“But telekinesis… that's a good thing!”
He said, and tried it.
He fixed his gaze on an empty beverage can nearby.
He subconsciously concentrated, imagining himself using telekinesis to control its movement.
Then.
The next second, something magical happened!
The empty beverage can actually trembled slightly, slowly floating in mid-air.
“Damn! It actually works!” Gu Cheng was so excited he almost jumped up, controlling the can to fly up and down in the air, playing with it merrily.
As a result.
Suddenly.
“What are you doing?!”
A clear female voice came from behind, interrupting Gu Cheng’s thoughts.
Gu Cheng jumped, the can in his hand clattered to the ground and rolled to one side.
He turned around and saw a petite girl standing a few meters away, staring at him excitedly.
The girl had shoulder-length, deep purple hair and a white eye patch covering her right eye. Her left eye was a clear blue, like a sparkling sapphire.
“Takanashi-san?” Gu Cheng recognized her at once, she was his classmate, the chuunibyou girl - Takanashi Rikka.
“You… You were just using your powers, weren’t you?!” Takanashi Rikka didn’t bother with Gu Cheng’s greeting, but pointed at him and asked excitedly.
“Superpowers?”
Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then realized what she meant and put on a “what are you talking about” expression.
“You’re kidding, right? How could I have superpowers?”
As he spoke, he bent down to pick up the can on the ground, patted the dust off it, and said nonchalantly, “I was just practicing throwing and catching, you see.”
He pretended to throw the can into the air, catch it, and then throw it again, trying to dispel Takanashi Rikka's suspicions.
“Don’t pretend! I saw it!”
However, Takanashi Rikka wasn’t buying it.
She walked quickly to him, her face full of excitement, “You just used telekinesis to control that can to float in the air, and then you…”
When she got to this point, Takanashi Rikka suddenly stopped.
“And then what?” Gu Cheng asked curiously.
“No… nothing…”
It seemed that she realized she was too close to Gu Cheng.
Takanashi Rikka’s cheeks flushed slightly, her eyes darted around, as if she was embarrassed to say it.
“Takanashi-san, don’t tell me you think I can make the can dance with telekinesis?”
Seeing this, Gu Cheng couldn’t help but laugh, teasing her, “I’m not that powerful, it’s just your imagination.”
After he finished, Gu Cheng was about to leave.
“It’s not imagination! The Wicked Eye won’t make a mistake!”
At this moment, Takanashi Rikka suddenly raised her head, saying firmly:
“I saw it! You really used telekinesis to control the can to spin and jump, and then you…”
She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, she extended her right hand, pointed at Gu Cheng, and shouted loudly: “And you sent a signal to my Wicked Eye!”
“It guided me to the rooftop!”
… Hearing these words, Gu Cheng was speechless, he understood, Takanashi Rikka’s chuunibyou was acting up again.
“Takanashi-san, you…”
“You don’t need to say it, I understand everything!” Takanashi Rikka interrupted before he finished, saying seriously, “You’re a superpowered individual, right? Just like me!”
As she spoke, she took off the white eye patch covering her right eye, revealing a golden eye.
The pupil of that eye was strangely shaped and emitted a faint golden glow.
Unfortunately, Gu Cheng knew that Takanashi Rikka was just wearing a colored contact lens.
