“Ha! Brandon’s giving you a warning!” a student boasted. “Brandon is an ability user–he can throw objects at supersonic speeds! Think about it: bullets are small, but even they are deadly at sound speed. Now imagine larger objects traveling that fast!
“Brandon?” Ray’s eyes flicked to the boy sitting atop the dining table. “What’s his full name?”
The distance made aiming tricky.
And using explosives? Forget pulverizing the target–he might not even be able to absorb the ability.
Plus, detonating indoors would collapse the entire cafeteria. He’d be buried alive! He needed better conditions to strike.
“Brandon Wahlgren!” the same student shouted loudly. “Now that you know what Brandon is capable of, I’ll ask you again- will you lend us the car or not?”
Ray didn’t even glance at him. He raised his gun and fired. A sharp report cracked through the air, a wisp of blue smoke curled up -and the boy fell to the floor, lifeless.
Ray blew on the barrel, scanning the terrified students stepping back.
“I hate being threatened,” he said with a faint smile.
Whoosh!
From the distance, Brandon swung his arm again. Another basketball hurtled toward Ray.
The ball approached silently.
It had broken the sound barrier.
But Ray was ready. His spatial portal had already been open, hugging his body. The basketball was instantly swallowed into his otherworldly storage space, then released again, angled from above, striking the face of a male student dead–on.
The boy’s face was obliterated, flesh and bone pulverized by the impact. Cracking sounds of shattered bone followed, and his brain was splattered from the force, spraying out from the ruined face. He collapsed with a sickening thud.
Damn… Brandon’s technique was terrifying. Every throw hit like a heavy shell.
Yet… why hadn’t either of his first two attacks hit Ray?
The first could be written off as a warning. But the second? Ray had already killed one of their own. Brandon would surely go all out–but the second throw not only missed, it even hit one of his friends.
What in the world was happening?
In the distance, Brandon finally frowned.
Weird…
Since gaining his ability, his arm strength had increased, and his aim was deadly accurate within a hundred meters. He had never missed. Yet, both throws had deviated slightly. It wasn’t much, but it was impossible.
He didn’t realize Ray was also an ability user. He only felt that something was strange and was puzzled
Ray smiled faintly and began walking toward Brandon.
Brandon immediately launched another volley.
Basketball after basketball tore through the air, the sound of their passage cracking behind them. Each body before striking a student–and remarkably, every single one landed on a male student.

After several rounds, the boys began to sense something was off.
Brandon had become a master of avoiding Ray’s silhouette.
His teammates? Every throw hit perfectly. His strikes? Only male students.
It was… too deliberate.
Ray would move, then pause. Whenever he needed to absorb a ball, he’d stop.
