Peeking at the holographic panel, Neon was at a loss of words or maybe thoughts. He doesn't even know where to begin with.

Is the panel an hallucination? No, if so it shouldn't have gotten his name right, considering it checks out with the information on his official page.

Is the panel a side effect of the crash? Probably not, the medical and healing prowess of today is too high for him to get a side effect from such a 'minor crash'

Is this my Star power? Most likely, it is probably malfunctioning after the crash.

'Wait that's dumb, if medicine can't fail then definitely star powers won't.'

Then what is it? It is most likely a powerful ai entity, I got to bind with me from scamming it.

Or.

Some powerful entity sent it to punish me for scamming him.

Either way, this doesn't look good cause it seems it's malfunctioning.

'I mean what does it mean I have mutant powers and star powers, thats impossible.'

'I mean I can have both, I might just be that special guy in the universe. But the faulty thing says my star level is 0, and then it says my mutant powers are partial, thats so stupid. Dumb ai.'

*************

'Wait, I was asked a question.' Snapping out of my thoughts, I turned to Paul to answer his question.

"Zero star." I finally answered.

"Oh? Then how did you survive such a crash? Even three stars won't make it out of such a crash unscathed." Paul asked me with a skeptical look on his face.

"I survived thanks to my jacket. It has a special sort of enchantment woven into it, so it can cast a full body energy protective layer which can take a full on blow from a five star." I spouted lies without hesitation.

Considering the fact that even if I do have mutant powers, they would be too weak to help me survive such a crash and I have no explanation or even knowledge of how I survived, I had no other choice but to lie.

Continuing the lies, I said."Due to my foggy memory, I can't really remember a lot of things like the events that led to the crash and some other stuff. Within those foggy memory might be the way of activation of the jacket, the space pod and many more."

"Hmmm, I will try to explain this to the military, but you should know that for the meantime you shouldn't go out alone and also try to limit all your activity to this city."

Paul said to me, as he scans my jackets with his eyes. "So, I will head out now. Jess, show him around the place." He said after 5 seconds of checking out the jacket.

Honestly am not even sure the jacket is anything special, but just like everything I woke up with it has to be special, right?

10 mins later in my assigned bedroom.

I laid down on the bed, facing the ceiling or more accurately, reading the contents of the holographic panel over and over again.

"What is a BOF?" I asked myself.

"And why do I have five of it?" The mystery deepens.

I am starting to think that what is on this panel is true. Why? Because when Paul asked me a question, I thought thoroughly about it, but to them it just seemed like I hesitsted a bit.

To be fair, my thinking speed is probably still a lot slower than theirs, but since they weren't on guard against me I could get away with it.

And thinking about it deeply I can feel the latter around me and can use it to power an ability in me, but i can still feel something else, not fully but its there. I think that should be my mutant power, [ G ] class Power.

Well, this is dope, very dope. But also this is bad, very bad.

I am a special being, but I am weak.If I am caught by the big noble families, organization or even the government, I would be turned into some lab rat.

I don't mind being a lab rat if I am being paid and given vacation time but these big and greedy bastards just don't know how to treat people right. Overworked workers and all that, I will be used to death if I get caught by them.

'Hmm, I am a weak special being in a world of greedy bastard, but I am opportuned to have all these materials from the crash with me. Thinking about it, this is probably some joke of a really powerful entity. It may also be a form of temporary entertainment.'

'I hate the cliche of "I have to get stronger" but whatelse can I do? I do have to get stronger.'

"I will grow to be the strongest and show the bastard entity who threw me into this mess who has the real POWER." I said out loud with my outstretched hand clasped into a fist.

'First, I have to learn how to use my star power, then unlock my mutant power fully, after which, it's money blowing time.'

Getting up and out of my room, I walk down the large hallway to the training room. The training room is a space expanded room, where the space inside is way bigger than the space taken outside.

Walking in, I found Jess already waiting for me on a stage like platform.

"I already knew you'd come here since I saw you looking over here several times when we passed by." She said to me while moving to the other side of the stage. Motioning to me to get in, she said. "Come let's fight, I will lower my star level."

"You would wear a limiter?"

"No, erm.... you see,the difference between star level excluding the true star is the amount of 'stars' you have you. With 0 stars having none and 6 stars having six. The sta-"

"Yea, I know that, even an elementary school kid knows that." I tried to cut her long lecture off

"-rs refer to the ball of energy containing your special latter or what we new generation term 'starpower'. With 0 stars using the latter in the environment to power their ability which is slow, inefficient, time consuming and just sad, the 1 star upward use the latter in their stars, which is generally more attuned to your powers and abilities, faster, stronger and special." She continued on, ignoring me in the process.

"The special stars, like me, are very attuned to their stars, so I can decide not to use them at all or one by one" she finally finished.

"Yea, yea, stop the talk, lower your powers and come get your ass handed onto you." I sai, taunting her as a activate my ability, Neon, for the first time ever.

Feeling the light waves and rays around, I spread my hand and clasped it around the energy sword I conjured from the light I absorbed. Jumping straight from my spot to just above Jess in an awe inspiring athletic jump.

*swoosh*

I swung down my energy sword, as I started a gruelling training session.
