Sophia's curiosity had reached her limit as soon as she said this, and her power came out in full force.
But suddenly, the power coming out of her slammed against her own body. Then something strange crossed her vision as if Matthew was holding something in his hands; it was something that made her turn drastically towards him.
But he wasn't there.
Suddenly, she felt someone touch her face.
"Sophia Murphy... I'm honestly very curious about your power. I'm even nothing away from having it come back to me, as it seems to go beyond the power I have. But, no... It's not the time yet. Still..." Suddenly, Sophia felt someone breathing on her cheek that was practically glued to the glass, and a whisper reached her ears.
"Just wait patiently; I'll discover every bit of that power you have."
Sophia turned dramatically to the glass once more but then saw Matt's reflection coming out of the door behind her.
'W-what? W-what just happened?' Sophia was in shock and tried to make sense of what had just happened.
Her power unleashed to its full capacity had been mocked for no reason, and she couldn't even sense where Matt was within her own power.
He wasn't behind her; otherwise, she might have seen him. After all, the peculiar gleam in her eyes revealed that she could see more things than someone else could.
But he wasn't.
And just when she thought he had disappeared, he appeared in front of her!
For a moment, she doubted if there was a crystal in front. She looked down and touched the crystal with both hands.
She pushed it. She tried to grab it, even tapped it lightly to check that it existed.
'What just happened?' The verification that it existed and that she was not crazy made her face much darker than usual.
'While it doesn't present a problem for me, I feel that ability is incredible.' He was still waiting for Mei's answer regarding that, so he could only sigh.
He nodded to Isla. "Just a little curious. You did well a while ago." He replied, smiling a little at her as he stroked her head.
Isla nodded back. "But why did I lose my senses for a moment? That was strange, and I don't feel like it's something of my ability."
Matt smiled at her. "Some epiphany? I don't know either; it was normal for me." he replied vaguely.
Just then, a voice rang in his head.
"Got it, Matt." Mei said, fully drawing Matt's attention to her.
'What did you find out?' he asked. He could tell Mei was a little agitated; he could even feel her heart pounding, which was strange for her, who tends to be pretty calm all the time.
But this time there was a major reason for her not to be calm.
"Matt, that ability is amazing, it's the pinnacle of Abilities able to see destiny, the future! Maybe calling it Clairvoyance wouldn't be the right thing to do; it's possible it's levels above."
'What do you mean? I may know it's powerful, but why did you value it like that?' he asked.
"It's easy, Matt. The ability you bestowed on Isla turned her into a Perfect Entity; you could say you even took her out of her own destiny, just like me. Seeing her is more complicated for abilities that can see the future. Even for me, it is very difficult to do so. But for that woman, no.
That was something extremely strange and I thought she might have more mastery than me in this, but while researching, I formulated a theory that can explain it."
"I see Fate and study it so I can understand the science behind it. But even though I can know destiny, the truth is that I can't predict exactly what will happen, because there are many destinies for one person. And I see that destiny on a generalized plane, which the River of Destiny shows me.
The Generalized Planes of Fate have no explanations of what will happen in the short term of minutes or hours. Usually, the minimum I can see is a daily plan with many, many ramifications. That's the problem with my power."
"That's the problem of my ability."
