"Xu Nan, it's almost time for school. Are you already up?"
I heard grandmother knocking outside the door.
It's already this time, huh?
"I will go down soon."
I replied to her, putting the paper inside my drawer.
"Hurry, you better not be late again. Your grades are not good, and the examination is already near."
Hearing grandmother, I can only shook my head. In the past two years, all I did was focus on practicing my power.
"I know. Things will soon change."
That's right, things will change. With my power, acing the exam is easy as pie.
I hurriedly took a bath and put my school uniform.
...
"Breakfast is already ready."
I got down. I was greeted by the sight of grandmother making coffee for grandfather who was watching the news.
Family. I'm glad to experience this sight and warmth. I can't dissapoint them.
My grandmother's name is Xu Qiu, and my grandfather's name is Xu Chen. We were not exactly rich, my grandparents owns the property of the house we're living. They gave their other properties to my uncles and aunts.
...
I finished eating.
"I'm going to school now."
"Be careful on crossing the streets."
"Don't cause any trouble."
Grandmother and grandfather is the same as always. The former keeps treating me like a child, while the latter is very kind.
I opened the door and went outside.
Walking, I saw the neighbhor's door opened and came out an exteremely beautiful woman.
"Xu Nan, going to school?"
The woman wearing a suit noticed and smiled at me.
Beautiful black hair and eyes, a well-maintained skin. Her breast are on the bigger side. This woman's name is Zhi Rou. We have known each other for a long time, she could be said to be my childhood friend and older sister.
"Yeah. Are you going to work, sister Zhi Ruo?"
Zhi Ruo is 6 years older than me. She started working this year as an office lady of a listed company.
"Mhn. Let's walk together."
Zhi Ruo held my hand, dragging me along with her.
I didn't resist and followed her pace.
"How are you doing in work, sister Zhi Ruo?"
"Honestly, it's pretty tiring. I have been scolded a lot of times because of my mistakes."
What are you sighing for? Is it really that hard...
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it soon."
I don't think I can do anything for her, I hope this words will be enough.
"Thanks. I will get my paycheck soon, how about we go out together in the weekend?"
Zhi Ruo smiled at me.
Sigh. This smile is really unfair, if you keep doing this I won't be able to hold on anymore.
"Okay, but this time let me treat you."
I nodded. It became natural for her to treat me. To be honest, this really shook my pride. Well, starting today I will be the one treating her. Money isn't a problem for me soon...
"You don't need to be shy around your sister, you know? I'm the who invited you and I have a job. It's a matter of fact for me to treat you."
Zhi Ruo shook her head.
At least let me fill up my pride from now on, please?
"No. You've already treated me so many times than I can even count. Let me treat you this time, okay?"
Zhi Ruo sighed and look at me with complex emotions with her eyes that I couldn't understand.
"If not for... nevermind. Okay, you will be treating sister this time."
What was that look in her eyes? Speaking of which, she keeps looking at me like that for quite a while now... well, maybe just some problem in work.
...
The light turned green and we were about to cross the street my skin suddenly stood up.
This sign. Danger!
I quickly used my power, it was the power of precognition. I have the ability to see the things that will occur in the future.
My sight sped up as if time became fast, I quickly saw the vision of the danger. A truck that was still quite far in distance to where we were suddenly accelerated. The driver actually fell asleep and step on the accelerator. In just a matter of seconds, it would hit the people crossing in the street.
"Fuck. Everybody, stop!"
I shouted and spread my hands.
"What happened?"
Zhi Ruo got surprised of my sudden action.
As much as I like to tell you, but I can't now.
My actions caused some people with no patience to be displeased.
"Kid, what are you doing blocking our way?"
Should I let this old man die? He already has lived in this world for too long and still has no patience.
"That's right, I'm already late for work."
If you're already late you, why are you still in a hurry.
"Kid, you better have an explanation for us.
Oh, I sure do. I fucking want to save you.
"Move aside, I'm almost late to school.
The arrogance of this guy, he even have the guts to shove me. Looking at your uniform, we are clearly of the same school. I'm not even worried of being late.
"Heh."
Clap* Clap*
The guy ignored my clapping as he continued walking forward. What guts, I applaud you. This guy is not scared of having a death wish.
*Screech*
The truck was already here. The people also noticed immediately, hearing the sound of the wheels, as it caused sparks every time it contacted the ground.
"Look out!"
"Get out of the way!"
"Ahh..!"
"It's going to hit us."
Argh, my ears. Stop shouting, you guys are clearly out of range because of me.
"That guy's going to get hit!"
"I don't want to look."
"Splash, a lot of blood splashed me."
What the hell? Did I hear that last one wrong? It didn't even hit yet.
The guy who was at the center of the streets widened his eyes at his situation. His legs trembled, instead of running. Well, it's still futile. But at least, you should move right?
The other people together with Zhi Ruo was already out of danger. Zhi Ruo, especially. I took care of her first.
Really, I'm no hero. Sigh. Having an ability sure does put one to an advantage. However, it also has a lot of burden.
I properly made sure that I was close at the guy's distance.
I ran toward him, grabbed his collar, before making him stand at my side.
Running at this time would prove worthless, the driver seems to have been awaken by the shouts of the crowd. Controlled the steering wheels in panic, the truck that should have only move on a predictable straight line would now move in an unpredicatable direction.
"Don't move, just stay where you are."
I said to the guy beside me, I don't think he can hear me, though. I thought this guy has the guts to play with his life, seems like I was wrong.
"Xu Nan, look out."
"Oh no!"
"Why did that other kid have to join."
"He just had to play the hero."
Zhi Ruo shouted, I'm pretty sure I heard her shouting when I moved close to the guy... her voice still sound pretty even at this circumstaces. Don't worry, sister Zhi Ruo. Me? Getting hit? It's impossbile.
The truck moved into a curve and because of how big and long it is, it didn't maintain its balance causing it to roll.
Thud* Thud*
As it was about to hit me and the guy, the car flipped in the air dangerously passing over our heads.
Before the others could recognize what happened, I already ran chasing the truck. The truck crashed to a nearby building, I'm glad no one got hit.
Due to the collison, the truck took a lot of damage with a lot fuel leaking. In a matter of time, the engine will blow, paired with the oil. The truck will soon explode.
At this time, I already closed the gap. I opened the door, luckily it was not locked, maybe the driver wanted to jump or something. He was currenly passed out, he didn't die because the airbag saved him.
I quickly grabbed him out of the truck, keeping a distance without looking back.
BOOM!
The truck exploded.
I dropped the driver and smiled.
"All according to Keikaku."
