Testing 2

On December 29th, 2024, tranquility prevailed everywhere. The citizens of New York had come to understand that the Superhumans were distinctly different from the police and militias.

Seeing this, they all hope for a chance to awaken a powerful ability when their abilities get tested. I had already bid farewell to Uncle Ken and informed him of what I was going to do for the day.

I did not see the need to ask Uncle Ken if he wanted to get tested because it had always been obvious from the start. He was a superhuman. That was the only logical explanation for the reason no police bothered him and the rare occurrence of violence in the bar.

He was more like that bar attendant who knows everything and is also strong at the same time. He was just so cool. The girls who also worked for Uncle Ken were also awakened. 

I think I am not wrong to say I have always been the normal person in the bar. No wonder the girls never gave me any flirtatious looks, even when I became rich.

The reason was as clear as day; it was because I was weak. I think that maybe every single person who survived Uncle Ken's bar must be awakened. 

(A.N., I am using Awaken instead of Superhuman.)

Right now, I was in my normal tight-fitting Chase deer and brown Parker, which was matched with white Jordans. I felt relaxed and more confident in this attire. 

I listened to music while heading straight towards the testing center. I knew the result of the test would most definitely change a lot of the plans I have, but I still believe in my adaptability.

The streets of New York were a bit out of order. Some breakfast spots were opened, and a handful of people were moving around. It was not all that bad, except that most food prices have shot up due to panic buying.

I had already dealt with every money-related issue before coming to test my ability, so I had no problem. I sat on a seat and ordered a black coffee while going through the papers.

"WHO ARE THESE MONSTERS, AND WHAT IS THEIR TRUE AIM?"

"WHO IS BOJANA, AND WHAT IS HER POWER?"

The papers were abuzz with what I witnessed on X yesterday. Some individuals still hold the belief that on the first of January, Jesus Christ will descend to pass judgment. Others anticipate the arrival of Ragnarok, with numerous theories circulating around this event.

I just shook my head slightly and stared at the picture of Bojana. She looked confident and powerful. I can't help but feel a little bit oppressed as a guy. A woman was leading an organization of Awakeners. This just feels like when a girl is the first in the class.

"Times are indeed changing, and women are now being handed the torch to lead the way." I couldn't help but chuckle softly as I sipped my coffee. After finishing my cup, I left a $10 bill and made my way to the testing center.

I was now fully prepared for whatever the universe was going to throw at me.
