Chapter 117: Can your talent read people's minds?

Alicia now feels confident about using her talent and doing magic like Isla, so she said to her brother with a cheerful expression on her beautiful face,

"Aiden, I think I can use my talent now." Searᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Aiden, hearing this, decided to ask her which talent she was going to show them first, as he didn't know if it would be dangerous or not.

"Big Sis, which one are you going to show me? You told me earlier you can do three things, which probably means you have three talents."

Alicia replied to his words without thinking much, as she already knew which one she was going to use.

"I think I'm going to use my lightning talent, as it feels like the easiest one."

Aiden told her to be careful when using her talent and ordered everyone to back 10 meters away from her, as he also kept his distance like everyone else.

Alicia, seeing all this, felt her brother was being too cautious, but she didn't say anything and continued using her talent.

She thought of a lightning strike falling from the sky like in movies and at the same time tried to use the mana inside her body to make it happen. She concentrated for a few seconds, but nothing happened. She could feel herself getting tired, so she knew it was working, and she didn't give up and continued.

A few seconds passed, but still nothing happened. She started to feel even more tired than before, and even her legs began to shake a little.

Everyone, seeing nothing happening even after half a minute, thought she had failed and could see her legs shaking a little. They began to feel a little worried.

Aiden, seeing her shaking, decided to go to her and stop her, as he didn't want her to hurt herself if she couldn't do it on her first try.

But just as he took one step, he heard the system's charming yet dominant voice in his head.

"Don't go there, you little weakling. If she accidentally hits you, you'll be dead or at least on your last breath."

Aiden ignored her calling him a little weakling because her words made him swallow hard. So, he quietly waited in his place and didn't order anyone else to move at all.

After a few seconds, suddenly, a large three-meter-wide lightning bolt hit the dummy, and everyone could only see a flash of light and hear a loud 'bang' sound, followed by smoke coming from the dummy.

Rumble

But it still couldn't leave a scratch metal that could withstand missiles easily.

All the women's mouths were hanging open, seeing the deadly display of power, which was like heaven and earth compared to what Isla had shown. They even felt fear, imagining if the lightning had hit them—they would surely be dead or seriously injured.

The image of their leader's lovely sister began to change in their minds subconsciously.

Aiden felt his blood boiling, seeing the untamed display of power his sister had shown, and felt excited to copy this talent next. Just thinking about having this talent made him thrilled.

But for now, he had to go to his sister. He could see she was breathing heavily, and her legs were still shaking like before.

So he quickly ran toward her and supported her body from behind by using his hands to hold her up. He also checked her status to see how much mana she had left and found that she had only 1.5 mana left out of her original 8.5.

'Well, that was something, using only 7 mana. S+ talents are something else.'

'I checked earlier—it took about 3 mana for Isla to create that gust of wind. Even if it's more than double the mana usage, I don't think A-rank talents can do what she just did.'

He was excited, but for now, he focused on his big sister's well-being and asked her in a concerned voice,

"Big Sis, are you feeling alright? Are you feeling any pain anywhere?"

Alicia had already felt her little brother's touch on her body, which she couldn't forget. Listening to his voice, she answered while panting, as she didn't have much energy left,

"Huff... Aiden, I'm okay... Huff! Ju-just a little tired."

"Okay, let's sit on a bench so you can rest. Let me carry you."

She replied in a soft voice after hearing his words,

"Okay."

He easily lifted her soft body in a princess carry and walked to the bench 100 meters away. He didn't feel tired at all carrying her and sat on the bench with her still in his arms.

Sensing the opportunity, Alicia took a comfortable position, wrapping her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck, and placed her beautiful face on his chest, deciding to comfortably enjoy his embrace.

Seeing her like this, Aiden caressed her hair while she rested in his arms, and he could feel her body trembling slightly as he stroked her hair, so he focused on caressing her hair while she rested without caring about the group of women who were watching him.

Five minutes passed, so he decided to check if her mana had recovered, and he saw her mana had already reached its limit and returned to 8.5.

'Wow, that was fast.'

'System, is it normal to recover mana in just five minutes?'

'Haha, you fool. You're saying five minutes, but your sister recovered her mana in about three minutes. Given that she has one S-rank and two other talents that also affect her recovery a little, it's pretty normal for her mana to recover faster than others.'

'She's just enjoying her time with you.'

'Wow, having an S-rank talent is awesome. I should have copied her talent first, but I don't have to worry much—I'll copy it tomorrow.'

Knowing his big sister was already fine, he decided to call her out, as he really wanted to see what the situation was outside and check if he could go out and hunt some monsters to become powerful.

The system, hearing his mind, felt excited to see him fight those monsters. If he had tried to stay inside his turtle shell, she would have cursed him every second.

"Big Sis, are you feeling alright now?"

Alicia, hearing his words, hugged him tighter than before and said in a soft voice,

"No, Aiden, I would need much more time to recover from this, and I think I would recover much faster if you just stayed here hugging me."

Aiden, who really wanted to see what was happening outside, decided to call her out now, as he could enjoy her later at night. Just thinking about the night made his shaft throb a little in excitement, but he controlled himself from having an erection.

"Big Sis, I didn't know you would lie to your little brother."

Alicia, hearing his blunt words, realizing he had caught her lie, thought to herself,

'How did he find out I was lying to him to hug him for at least 10 more minutes?'

'Did he awaken some weird talent that lets him read everyone's mind?'

'No! I don't want that, because if he can read my mind, I don't know what he would think of me since I'm always thinking of doing some dirty things to him.'

'I don't want him to hear my fantasies. He would probably be scared of me if he found out about them.'

So with a fearful expression on her beautiful face, which he couldn't see, she said in a meek voice,

"Aiden, answer me honestly—have you awakened some talent that can read people's minds?"
