### **Chapter 3: Practicing the Power**
For Lukman, the booklet was no longer just a mystery; it had become a challenge. The scientist and explorer within him were both excited to understand this newfound power.
The words from the booklet kept echoing in his mind:
**"This energy exists not only in nature but also within your thoughts and emotions."**
Lukman decided to dedicate himself to understanding and practicing the power he had discovered.

### **The Beginning of Practice:**
Lukman shut down all his lab equipment. He pulled out his chair and sat in a meditative posture, holding the booklet in his hands, trying to feel its energy.
Gradually, his breathing became steady, and his consciousness entered a new state. He could feel the energy around him flowing like a liquid.
He could see the energy of everything around him—each object had a different glow and color. The metal device on his table radiated a cool, blue aura, while the plant in his lab shone with a vibrant green hue.
Lukman extended his hand forward and slowly rotated his fingers in the air. He realized he could manipulate those energies through his hands.
"Is this really happening?" he asked himself.

### **Testing the Power:**
Lukman decided to conduct a simple test. He focused his consciousness on a piece of glass lying on his table, trying to lift it into the air between his fingers.
As he concentrated on the glass's energy, it began to tremble and then slowly rose into the air.
"This… this is amazing!" Lukman's eyes sparkled with wonder.
He continued practicing. Sometimes he tried to lift objects into the air, and other times he experimented with changing their colors and textures. He devoted more and more time to understanding and controlling his power.
But one thing still troubled him. The booklet didn't clearly explain how this power worked. Was it purely mental energy or something else?

### **Rahmat's Arrival:**
In the evening, Rahmat arrived at Lukman's lab, his face as cheerful and lively as ever.
"So, brother, what project are you working on now?" Rahmat called out from the door.
Lukman quickly hid the booklet in a drawer. He still wasn't ready to share this secret with anyone.
"Ah, nothing special. Just trying to build a new machine," Lukman replied with a smile.
"Why does your face have this strange glow? It looks like you've discovered something big." Rahmat joked playfully.
Lukman tried to hide his smile, but Rahmat's eyes were sharp.
"Look, if you've discovered something new and exciting, you better tell me. After all, I'm your best friend."
Lukman hesitated before saying, "Alright, but it's really strange. And you might not even believe me."
Rahmat's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Now you've made me even more curious. Tell me!"
Lukman briefly told Rahmat the story of the booklet. He was surprised to see Rahmat listening intently, without making any jokes.
"So, you're saying you have a power that's a fusion of science and magic?" Rahmat asked, his eyes wide with amazement.
"Yes, and this booklet is the key to understanding it." Lukman showed the booklet to Rahmat.
Rahmat examined the booklet carefully. "So, are you some sort of superhero now?"
Lukman laughed. "No. But I'm trying to understand how all of this works."
Rahmat replied seriously, "If this really works, then you shouldn't rush into understanding it. This power could be dangerous."
Lukman nodded. "Yeah, I know. That's why I'm trying to understand it deeply."
Rahmat narrowed his eyes and said, "If this power has come to you, it means you have the responsibility to handle it. And remember, if you ever need me, I'll always be there for you."
Lukman smiled. "Thanks, my friend. Your support and wisdom mean a lot to me."

### **The Mysterious Threat:**
That night, Lukman tried to read the third page of the booklet. But as soon as he flipped the page, a horrifying scream echoed in his mind.
**"You think you are worthy of this power? We shall see how far you can go."**
Lukman's heart raced. This booklet was not just a source of knowledge but also a challenge. And that challenge went beyond merely understanding his power.

Will Lukman be able to face this new challenge? And will this power truly help him, or will it lead him into greater dangers?
