Chapter 4: Training (Revised)

When Emma woke up, she quickly took a shower before getting dressed, after which she left to go eat breakfast.

She devoured the breakfast at an even more alarming rate than the dinner the night prior, causing even Bernard to raise an eyebrow and say "I'm glad it's to your taste young miss, but are you in that much of a rush?"

Emma looked up with a pancake still hanging from her mouth as if she were a deer in headlights, but before she could respond, Winston responded for her as he spoke with a stern look on his face.

"Allow her to eat whatever she wants, it won't matter either way."

'My darling daughter is eating pancakes Bernard, don't ruin this wonderful sight!!' Winston screamed in his head to which Emma heard him.

'How is this man the CEO of a company?' Emma asked herself as she was dumbfounded again by her new father's thoughts.

Emma quickly finished her food before she went back to her room while informing the maids not to bother her.

Emma then sat down on the floor before she started to test her telepathic powers.

'So Telepathy in Marvel makes use of psionic energy, so mine should be similar to it in nature.' Emma thought to herself.

Emma then began by sending out a pulse of psionic energy from her mind that traveled like a wave, though she underestimated the sheer amount of thoughts that she heard inside her mind all at once.

Thinking of an idea she once saw on an online forum, she imagined a speaker inside her mind before she turned the knob and dialed down the volume of the thoughts.

'I see. So I'll have to focus on my control of it before I begin to study derivatives of my powers.' Emma thought before she prepared to start again.

She then tried sending another pulse of psionic energy, though this time she sent her energy in a certain direction instead of a wave.

The pulse seemed to hit one of the maids that were nearby as she heard 'I wonder if the miss needs her lunch yet, perhaps I should check. No, she said for no one to bother her and I won't become the first to do so.'

Emma then tried scanning deeper into her mind than just the surface thoughts that she showed, with her easily able to do it and realizing she could view the girl's memories as if they were a movie reel.

'So her name is Kyoka. She's 23 years old and began working here when Bernard found her looking for a job. Her quirk is sharp claws, with her able to sharpen her claws to the point they can slash through steel.'

She then retracted her energy and returned it to her mind, before she then began scanning the minds of the rest of the inhabitants of the mansion.

By the end of the day, Emma had become familiar with her telepathic powers, though she had one final power she wanted to attempt today.

She sat down in a meditative position and closed her eyes while trying to calm herself as much as possible.

Emma felt the world around her twist as she opened her eyes, only to see herself floating outside her body while looking as if she was a ghost.

'Astral Projection!'

Emma floated through the wall before she went around the entire mansion.

She then felt herself growing tired, causing her to quickly return to her body, where she felt even more fatigued.

'It seems that using my powers all day made me extremely tired, especially since I don't have much control over it. I'll have to work on my control while also trying to learn the other extensions of my powers.'

Emma walked over to her bed and laid down, ready to gain back her energy after sleeping so that she could continue to train the next day.
