Six Months Later – Midnight, Penthouse Training Room
Emma sat cross-legged on a large white training mat in the center of the private room they'd converted for her sessions.
She had discarded the stilettos for once. Her coat hung off a nearby mannequin like a relic of the person she used to be. The Emma Frost who had walked in six months ago wouldn't have been caught dead meditating in yoga pants and a tank top.
"You're projecting too strongly," I said quietly, a small smile tugging at the corner of my mouth. "The poor me just forgot where is my car parked."
Well actually not. It's just using [Personal Mind Manipulation] I made a fake mind with fake memories to train her. With my abilities even if I let her in my mind she cannot do anything. As what she enters is just an isolated part of my mind.
With [Personal Mind Manipulation] I am a God in my mind. No I don't have God-Complex it's just I am too powerful in my own mental space.
"I could make you believe you're a dog," she said, voice flat. "Don't tempt me."
I chuckled. Well she can make the fake me believe it because I allow her to.
But deep down, I was proud of her. She'd come a long way. From lashing out uncontrollably to creating illusions through multiple minds simultaneously, shielding herself while simultaneously reading minds—it was all hard-earned progress. We had drilled every technique I could remember, plus the ones I'd invented with my own growing knowledge of the mental arts.
And now, her skills were refined. Almost reaching top tier in Alpha level. She would reach Omega Level when she undergoes her second mutation. But that would take time.
I opened my eyes slowly.
That was when it hit me.
A sharp, sudden click, like a switch being flipped in my mind. Not painful. Just… awareness. Deep, profound awareness.
[Ability Copied : Meta-Human Gene (Alpha Level Telepathy)]
[Skills Copied : Alpha Level Telepathy Skills includes:- Mind Control, Psionic Shield, Psionic Blasts, Illusion Casting, Telepathic Detection, Frequency Filtering]
I could feel her mind.
"You're holding something back."
Her eyes snapped open, widening in surprise. "Did you just…?"
I nodded slowly. "Yeah. I did."
She stared at me, brows furrowed. "Since when do you have telepathy?"
"I think I just gained it," I said calmly.
I already had Peak Human Mind and Telepathy should have awakened within me if I had tried to break the human limits. But with the copy system I do not need to. I can just copy Telepathy. But no one needs to know this.
"Six months of training beside you. I guess something finally clicked. And you already knew I was just on cusp of gaining telepathy due to my strong Mind."
Emma leaned forward, studying me like a scientist meeting a new species. "How much do you have?"
"Everything you've shown me," I replied. "Mental shields. Frequency filtering. Projection control. Illusions. Surface-level reads. Even deep dives, if I focus hard enough."
Her expression shifted—equal parts awe and irritation.
"You mean I trained with you for six months… and you get to skip the migraines and mental breakdowns and straight away gain have everything I trained for?"
I grinned. "Well I was the one who trained you so I already had the theory now I just got practical that's it."
She rolled her eyes but smiled despite herself.
I stood, the mental energy still crackling around me like static electricity. I reached out—not physically, but with my mind—and touched her consciousness. Not intrusively. Just a pulse. A hello.
She blinked, sensing it instantly. Then she returned it with a flicker of her own.
"Well," she said. "Looks like I've officially seen the birth of a monster. Telepathy with your already strong physical abilities you are just freaking monster. Sugar"
"Don't worry," I said with a mock bow. "I'm a very well-behaved monster. I haven't eaten you yet that clearly proves it."
"I doubt that you can control it any longer."
"Even though you agreed to become my mistress and I know you won't refuse if I want it. But I am a man with some ego. So first I will fulfill what I promised and then take what's rightfully mine."
"Well I was going to inform you about the progress so far but now I have a better way to inform you." I said as I smiled and tapped my head with two fingers. And mentally send her the progress so far.
