Jimmy put down the knife, washed his hands, and returned to the study. Holding a revolver, he tried to load it again. This time, he focused on controlling his hands. Except for two bullets that dropped out, the other four nestled smoothly into the chamber.
A good sign, Jimmy emptied the bullets again, picked up the two that had fallen to the floor, and started over. After repeating this four times, he finally managed to load all six bullets into the chamber smoothly.
"YES." Jimmy finally figured out what the problem was. The soreness in his movement was real, but it was also due to an apparent increase in his Spiritual Power. Since his body hadn't strengthened accordingly, it led to a delay in his physical response unless he concentrated on controlling his body or relied entirely on muscle memory. Otherwise, any intervention from his mind caused a delayed reaction.
