6 Another Scientist?!

He stood up while the bullet was pierced through the skin but yet not the skull. He took it out and dropped it. The robber and the victim stared at Zohaifa with their eyes popping out.

Zohaifa could easily beat the robber and let the guy free. Luckily, the incident happened in an unnoticeable place where there was no possibility to be spotted by spectators.

"Thank you for saving me. I want to give you an offer as a token of gratitude."

"Something feels familiar," said Zohaifa to himself.

"I am a scientist and I will be happy to take you to my lab."

Zohaifa stared at him like a statue.

"What?" asked the scientist.

"I will just decline and go away," said Zohaifa and instantly got headed to the opposite direction.

"Brother, you should not judge someone with their profession," said Zabir.

"Come on. I have learned enough from one incident."

"Brother, you learned the wrong lesson. You learned that all scientists are evil. That's the wrong lesson. The real moral is that if you trust someone blindly, he might come back at you biting."

"You are right. I shall not trust him blindly. So, I decline."

"You are overlooking something."

"What?"

"You can't be harmed that easily anymore. You have powers now!"

Zohaifa stayed silent for a moment and then said, "You are right."

Thus he turned to the scientist and said, "I guess I will accept your proposal. But I have an exam next week. I will visit you in one month."

"Okay. But take the address," replied the scientist.

The scientist was confused about why would someone having an exam roam around the streets. They finally agreed to meet after one month.

Within that month, Zohaifa spent enough time training instead of studying where he learns to shoot lightning in a straight direction. He named this move 'lightning shooter.'

He went to the lab with Zabir only. He thought it would be too dangerous for his family to come (or even asking his family to come would be too dangerous). But he and his brother were well equipped with martial arts. So it should be safe.

"Come inside! I am happy you finally came."

The name of the scientist was Giasuddin. They had brief moments of lab exploration. It seemed that this scientist was interested in space exploration. The lab was filled with spaceships and space suits.

After a while of sightseeing, the scientist asked Zohaifa for a favor.

"Damn, this is not happening again," said Zohaifa to himself.
