Chapter 15 - Miscalculation - Part 5
Kyiv, Ukraine:
It was afternoon and the boy known as Illya Kolisnyk was sitting in his classroom.
As he was sitting down near the window and was looking out excitedly instead of paying attention of the teacher.
“”
While he was looking out, he saw a figure in pure white form appeared outside of the window and spoke to this boy.
Once he saw Nazar, his eyes widened in surprise.
“”
On the boy’s face, a wide smile appeared.
“”
“”
The boy stood up excitedly and ran out of the room.
His teacher called out to him but he didn’t listen.
With a few seconds, he was already outside the school building and was now standing on top of the roof.
The boy found Nazar on top of the roof.
“”
Out of all of them, Nazar was confused about this one the most.
“”
“”
Seeing the boy’s enthusiasm, Nazar was taken back a little.
“”
“”
“” Illya replied excitedly. “”
“”
“”
“”
Seeing the super excited and his enthusiasm, Nazar was taken back even more.
“”
“”
“”
“”
Nazar let out a sigh.
“”
“” the boy screamed in excitement as he jumped up.
While he was jumping, he noticed something.
He landed on the roof and looked very troubled.
“”
“”
“”
Immediately after, the boy went down and went to his class.
He started coming up with excuses.
Nazar watched for a few minutes and smiled.
“There was a time when I was like that too.”
(Okay, I need to get over with the rest in the few minutes and go explain my situation to Emma and the others as soon as I can so I can be over with it. And maybe eat in peace?)

He then vanished into thin air.

Berlin, Germany:
A middle-aged man known as Martin Becker was sitting on the floor near the entrance door of his home and was looking at the pile of his burnt up shoes.
“”
He heard a voice from behind him which didn’t feel human.
He turned around and saw a figure made of pure white light.
His heart skipped a beat once he saw that.
The man jumped in his place due to fear.
“”
“”
The man placed a hand on his heart as he breathed heavily.
After a minute or so, the man finally stood up and faced Nazar.
“”
“”
“”
“”
The man’s calm face distorted and formed a disgusted expression.
“”
“”
Nazar touched the man’s chest.
“”
Once Nazar touched him, the man felt those energies going away.
The power he once had was gone.
“”
Nazar said that as he was engulfed by the thin air.
Full of regret, he sat down on holding his head in his hands.

Sydney, Australia:
A muscular man with brown hair and green eyes was lying down in a hotel bed in Sydney, Australia.
He was watching TV and drinking wine when a figure made of pure white energy appeared.
“Holy shit!”
“You have Gravity Manipulation, right?”
The man nodded as he got out of his bed.
Nazar was standing in front of the TV and he noticed that everything else around him was shaking.
“Your power is useless against me.”
The man sighed and everything stopped shaking.
“What will you do with your power?”
Hearing Nazar’s question, the man rubbed his chin as he thought.
“I don’t know, help out my organisation? That’s exactly what I am going to do, to be honest.”
“Organisation?”

He loosened his hands and sat on the bed.
“I am part of the No Names.”
“An organisation known for assassination, kidnapping, mass genocide and more, right?”
“Yes. And now they have a super-powered weapon under their hand. Isn't that cool?”
“I see. So, that’s your standing. Good, neutral, good, failure and now bad. I like the odds of this.”
“I won’t ask why or how… But I will tell you this.”
The man narrowed his eyes.
“I will use this power really well. I will use it for what you people call ‘evil’. And you will regret giving me this power. And the world will know the name, Chris Fisher. And--”
“I am looking forward to it,” Nazar said as he vanished into thin air.
“I went and said it,” the man muttered to himself. “That guy seemed powerful. Hopefully, he doesn’t kill me in an instant.”
He took a deep breath and stood up.
“I need to practice this power a little.”
He left the room and took a car.
“I know a really good empty space for practice.”

Toronto, Canada:
Inside a lab, the tall and muscular man known as Matthew Wilson was lying down on top of a bed.
A doctor was standing above him and monitoring.
While that was happening, Nazar appeared before him.
He was floating right above the man.
“Strength?”
The man nodded.
He didn’t seem scared or surprised.
However.
Matthew looked around a little and his eyes widened in surprise.
What he did find surprising was that no one seemed to notice Nazar was here.
Everyone else was doing their tasks and didn't notice an entity of limitless power being next to them.
“Interesting!”
“Are you the person who gave me my powers?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“As an experiment.”
“Huh?”
“It’s an experiment. To see how the world can be changed by ten… No, nine people.”
Matthew didn’t understand what Nazar was trying to say, so he just let out a sigh.
“But why does my power hurts to use?”
“Oh?”
Nazar was actually surprised.
“Every time I use my powers, my body feels immense pain.”
“Ah.”
“It hurts like hell to use it. For example, if I punch a wall, I can do it but after its done, I feel immense pain in my body.”
“Hm. That’s because your body is still not used to this power.”
(And a weakness that I didn’t know he will get… Ah, fuck. Did I accidentally base this on Deku from Boku No Hero Academia?) Nazar thought to himself.
Nazar let out a sigh.
“It will get better soon. So, you just need some experience.”
“Ah, I see. Thanks.”
“Also, where do you stand in the spectrum of good and bad?”
Not understanding what Nazar was saying, Matthew tilted his head a little in confusion.
“Are you a good person or evil?”
Matthew let out a sigh.
“I guess good.”
“Good. Neutral. Good. Failure. Bad. And now good. Interesting.”
(I was hoping for 50/50.)
“O-oh?”
Nazar then vanished into thin air.
Matthew looked around and confirmed once more that no one saw him.
Nazar moved on to other targets.
