Resting my head on my fist while listening to the teacher talk about things I didn't care for, my classmates were all subtly looking at me because of how I was acting.
Some had looks of confusion while some had looks of envy since while they couldn't act like this when the teacher is teaching, I could.
Of course, the reason why I could do this with the teacher not going all Karen at me because I'm being disrespectful to them is that I have full control over her mind.
I know that mind-controlling random people is wrong and immoral, but I honestly don't care anymore since I'm bored from not doing anything significant with my powers.
Oh, I think I forgot to mention that I'm fifteen years old right now. Other than that, I'm on the track team since it feels fun running past people who think they're fast even though they aren't.
Well, if I were a regular human being without supernatural powers, they would be fast in human terms but they were nowhere near the best.
Noticing that the teacher was now done teaching as lunch was now in session, I got up from my shitty wooden chair and got out of the classroom to go eat.
"Hey!"
Feeling someone tap my shoulder from behind me and recognizing that voice, I turned to look at who it was and answered with a slight nod.
"We're gonna test a new possible member to see if they're fit for the track team, so when you're done eating, come to the track field so we can put you up against her."
"Sure, now stop touching me."
Returning to what I was doing which was going to the cafeteria since I wanted to fill my stomach, it seems that in a couple of months from now the gates are going to appear soon.
Unbeknownst to me, I was unknowingly grinning to myself since I was finally going to be able to use my powers to fulfill my boredom even though I have to suppress my powers by a lot to make it seem like I'm a D-rank hunter.
Slowly eating my food since it for some reason tastes better when I ate slower than usual, I brought out my phone so that I could keep an eye on when the live MMA fight started.
While I was waiting for the news of when the live stream of the MMA had started, I felt something go past me, so I put down my spoon on the tray and looked at where I thought it went.
After turning to my left, the thing which had gone past me was an ethereal blue energy, similar to my mana that was roaming the cafeteria.
'So even though the gates haven't even been formed yet, it seems mana that is similar to mine has already invaded the world.'
Placing my hand back on the table and pointing to the mana, I brought it over to me and noticed that it was less pure than the mana that I generate inside of me.
When I brought it even closer to me and particularly my face, the mana smelled horrible so I used my mana to counteract it since it smelled like vanilla.
Now that I no longer had to smell whatever that was, my mana was much denser than the mana that I just found; meaning that if someone wanted to attack using mana, the power output was going to be weaker than my mana.
Putting the mana into my hand and crushing it into little atoms then destroying it, I finished eating my food since I had lost my appetite because of the scent the mana had made.
Picking up my duffle bag and putting it on my shoulder, I cleaned up after myself and started going to the boys' locker room which was near the track field to change.
Entering the locker room and setting down my duffle bag on the wooden bench, I took off my clothes and changed into my sweatsuit, I felt stares from behind me.
Ignoring those stares from which was behind me and continuing to put on my sweatsuit, when I had finished the stares had stopped since it seems they didn't want to be caught.
'Even though I should be used to stares because of last year, being stared at by a guy just doesn't feel comfortable while I'm getting dressed.'
Neatly setting my school clothes into the duffle bag and putting it inside my locker, I got out of the boys' locker room and started heading to the track field.
"Oh, hey! Kyung is here now!"
"Is he going to outrun the new possible member again?"
"The infamous runner is finally here!"
Waving at them to stop their yelling because they were being too noisy, I tried looking for the person in question but found no one since everyone here was a guy.
With the person who had noticed me beforehand about this test catch that I was trying to find whoever I was going up against, he said, "Ah, they're eating lunch right now so how about we (you) warm up for the test."
"Alright. You three, come onto the track."
Getting on the track and making it seem like I was seriously stretching for this race, the three I had asked to come onto the track were the best runners aside from me.
They all had developed calves and thighs made for running but the only problem with them is their stamina since they only do short laps around the track.
Getting into a running position and looking to my left, seeing that they all had tense looks on their faces, I turned to the person who would be counting down.
"3! 2! 1! Go!"
As soon as I heard the person yell that it had started, I quickly darted forward and ran with an intrigued look on my face as I looked behind me.
Their stamina had definitely gotten better since the last time I ran with them, but until they had been reincarnated or got an overpowered ability to get stronger, they would never be able to outrun me.
Lapping them five times since I didn't feel like running in a circle like a dog did to chase its tail, I stopped next to the other club members and looked at the three best runners in the school.
"Sorry about that, seniors! I got a little sidetracked talking about things with my friends..."
"You don't need to worry about that. Anyway, since you want to become a club member of the track team, you need to race this guy!"
Hearing that the new possible club member had arrived at just the right time since the practice run had been finished, I looked in their general direction as my eyes went wide in surprise.
'Cha Hae In?'
