Chapter 2: Telekinesis

As Xu Han contemplates his awakening, people stare at him in the middle of the intersection due to his strange facial expressions and muttering. When he realizes the attention, he adjusts his bearing, straightens up, and acts as if nothing happened.

"I forgot that I live in a modern society where everyone will judge whatever you do, especially if you don't conform to what is considered normal within this society. Well, gotta act normal so these people don't suspect anything about me."

It's already noon, and he suddenly remembers attending the local high school with classes at 1 pm. Realizing this, he quickens his pace, accessing his memories of his school, which is still a 30-minute walk away.

Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to commute at all. During the 17 years, his true soul slumbered; it only managed to perform simple survival tasks automatically. He has only walked from place to place and has never learned to ride public transport vehicles, considering he is also an orphan with no one to teach him things.

Despite the distance being 30 minutes away by walking, Xu Han is not precisely average. That 30-minute travel distance is 4.5+ kilometers or 2.79 miles, which is abnormal for the average human. If you calculate it, he's walking at 9 km per hour, far exceeding the average human's walking speed of 5 km per hour. Something is definitely at play here, as even Xu Han's physique is not remotely close to an average human's.

While walking, Xu Han comes across a specific street corner and spots a young boy intensely focused on his smartphone.

Xu Han mutters, "He's probably watching a video or browsing social media; kids nowadays..."

The young boy, absorbed in his phone and unaware of his surroundings, is about to cross the intersection. As the boy steps onto the road, a truck suddenly appears less than 3 meters from hitting him.

This corner of the road is a blind spot for incoming pedestrians and vehicles, leading to the current situation.

Xu Han is shocked by the sudden development, while the young boy just realizes the predicament as the truck driver honks loudly.

In a split second, Xu Han reacts and instinctively uses telekinesis to halt the progress of the 4-wheeler standard delivery truck, as if an invisible wall had appeared right before it.

The entire momentum of the truck comes to a stop. The front of the car is destroyed, and the driver and conductor are nearly sandwiched inside. However, they skillfully avoid getting squashed; only a tiny gap remains, and had it been any smaller, they would have faced imminent danger.
