POV Feel

The next day. Morning (5 days left before arrival)

I wake up exhausted and tired from my dream, who would have known that you could get tired of being asleep

"I don't know about you, but I feel great" Night spoke next to me

Slowly turning in her direction, I slowly blink my eyes alternately and then wipe them because of my drowsiness

"Who would say," I reply to her, "I don't like your training methods," having said that, I start yawning, "Do you know what mental fatigue is?"

"Don't mumble to me here, the main thing is not the method, but the result, and as you can see, the result of our training cannot but please" she rolls his eyes at my whining

I wanted to say something, but the door to my cabin starts to open and the Night evaporates from prying eyes

I am greeted by a bully I know, who made a commotion in the dining room a few days ago, remembering the moment when I pulled down his pants, I did not consciously smile, but due to fatigue, the smile immediately disappears from my face

"Follow me," he said, and started waiting for me to come out.

Without thinking for a long time, I leave my room and follow my escort

We walked in complete silence, but I felt that he didn't like me. Thanks to our training, we were able to reveal that when I sharpen my fear (only fear), I can feel the emotions of others, and walking next to him, I couldn't help but be afraid of him

He walked ahead of me and occasionally looked at me, checking if I had gone somewhere. Walking behind his back, I noticed that his body also has black bald spots, showing that he does not disdain to absorb the essence of love

After walking in silence for a couple of minutes, we finally reach the door of the gym that I know. The bully walked forward, kindly opened the door for me and patiently waited for me to pass through them, but feeling his emotions, I understood that he was up to something, but I decided to play along with him

I obediently walk through the door and nod to him as a sign of courtesy, but as soon as he remained behind my back, I felt him jerk towards me

Feeling this attack, I feigned dodging to the side, as if something had pulled me there. Because of his size or because of his slow reaction, he flies in front face, I decided to teach him a lesson, imperceptibly with my blue magic I relax his belt, so that in flight his pants fall off again

He falls face down on the floor and does not notice that his pants have fallen off him, getting up from the floor and rubbing his nose, he looks at me angrily, but because of my fatigue, I had nothing on my face

"I'm going to strangle you," he growls at me.

But before he could move on me, he falls face down on the floor again, but this time because of his lowered pants

Unexpectedly for me, the crowd started laughing wildly around us, looking at them, I think "Damn, because of fatigue, I didn't notice them"

Quiet whispers began to be heard from the crowd, but someone brave, laughing, screams "Barx was left without pants again and again because of the new one" and loud laughter began again

Looking at the whole crowd, you would think that everyone was having fun, but I realized that behind all this laughter there was anger at me

Suddenly there was a loud bang and the laughter around us quickly subsided, the atmosphere quickly changed to a more tense one and everyone, including me, stopped breathing. My body is very tense, as if Night is testing me again and unknowingly, my body is screaming about danger

A second click came and the crowd that surrounded us quickly parted, forming a passage through which the local tyrant Pharynx could be seen, when two rows of people formed in front of him, he slowly but firmly walked towards me

Passing by Barx, who was standing in one of the rows, he stopped and sternly looked at him and it was not for nothing that this idiot did not have time to put on his pants and realizing his mistake, he was pouring a stream of sweat

"Explain yourself, soldier," he orders, "For what reason are you like this?"

In response, he twitched nervously and tried not to look into Tom's eyes

"Allow me to fix this problem" Barx shouts obediently in response

"I allow it" Pharynx says calmly

Barx obediently reaches down to pull his pants back up, but as soon as his head was at waist level, Pharynx suddenly hits Barxa in the face with a powerful kick, so hard that he flies off in an arc to the side and falls unconscious

Looking at the whole picture, I understood that everyone expected such an outcome, because when the blow occurred, no one even flinched and looked at what happened to the unlucky one

"SOLDIERS!" Pharynx shouts at everyone "YOU DON'T HAVE GAMES HERE, AS SOON AS YOU ENTERED THIS ZONE, YOU IMMEDIATELY SIGNED UP FOR IT AND THEREFORE" he looked sternly at everyone "IF YOU ARE READY TO STAY, THEN BE PREPARED FOR THE CONSEQUENCES"

Less than a minute later, only he and I were left in the training room, even taking Barxa's unconscious body with us

Pharynx clicked his tongue in displeasure and briefly commented on all this in one word "Suckers"

Then his gaze clung to me as if he could immobilize me and slowly he approached me

"What do you say, “White Ghost”, it looks like we won't have an audience today, but I don't mind" he was getting closer and closer "Are you ready for today's exam?" Having said that, he immediately approached me and with a wave of his hand, suddenly stopped in front of me

Suddenly Night says, "What are we going to do?" She tells me

I didn't move and watched as the body in front of me stopped. "How did you do that?" I ask her.

"It's simple" she tells me "Now we have switched to a mental connection" seeing my uncomprehending look, she rolls her eyes and continues "So let's say you started thinking so hard and fast out of fear that at the moment you slowed down the world around you and therefore, while there is time to think, I ask again The question is, what are we going to do?"

After listening to her answer, and looking at the body in front of me, I realized that everything had slowed down, not frozen, and therefore I had to come up with something

"Um, do you have any ideas?" I ask her, "This is the first time I've come across this and nothing comes to mind."

"That's how you started talking! But someone said that he would make his own decisions and blah blah blah" she chastises me "Where is all this confidence?"

"Please help me. The only thing that comes to my mind is just to dodge, but I can't use my magic, he'll notice," I tell her and continue to look at how the body is moving towards me, "And therefore, I need your help."

After not saying much, she still decides to help me

"Okay, you've convinced me, but you'll owe me" I nod at her condition and she continues "I think the only thing we can do is put an illusion on him"

"Didn't you say that we shouldn't show our magic?"

"This is not a simple illusion, in theory we will let him into a trance of how he will “play” with you, but in order to do this, you will need to grab his head, because magic that works on the mind works better with close contact, in our case, the head" she finishes

"Okay, I get it, and how do I do it?"

"Think for yourself, my task is only to put him into a trance, and as soon as the heads reach him, think for yourself"

Realizing that I will have to do everything myself next, I see that he is very close to me now and I do not see any other option how to dodge. I close my eyes and try to calm my fear and take it under control, taking a deep breath and exhaling, I don't get much to calm down and opening my eyes, the world around me begins to take its course

Without being distracted much, I forget that I am being attacked now, but fortunately for me, my body dodges itself by rolling backwards

Rolling over to the wall, I heard a loud sound of metal and looking in the direction of the sound, I see how Pharynx hit the metal floor with all his strength so hard that there was a wide dent

Pharynx was surprised at my disappearance at one point, but when he noticed me, he smiled wildly and said "Oh! Now it won't be boring anymore" and rushed into me with a smile on his face

Realizing that now he will hit more seriously, I am preparing for a counter-measure. I pretend to be scared and press myself against the wall, but I concentrate with my whole body for the next blow, my whole body was trembling with fear, realizing that there would be no second attempt

Now he's getting to the right distance from me and everything around me has slowed down again. Pressing myself against the wall, I jump as high as I can and push off from the wall, thereby dodging the blow again, I jump over him, and he in turn hits the wall where I was before, leaving a deep dent

Being behind his back, I grab his head and give the command for the Night to act

She catches the moment, passes through me like a blue mist and enters his head through his hands. After a little resistance, his body relaxes and he falls asleep standing in front of me

"Phew, it was difficult, but I'm done," she tells me, returning to my body, "I recommend that you move a decent distance away."

Without asking unnecessary questions, I run away behind some simulators, waiting for further

Not even a couple of minutes pass, Pharynx suddenly wakes up for me and starts laughing wildly, beating the air

"Um, what did you just do?" I ask her

"As you can see, he is now under the illusion of how he is “playing” with you" she answers "At the moment, it is better not to bother him, not that he will wake up, but that he can hit you"

"Okay, I get you," I nod to her.

10 minutes pass

I sat and watched as “my” coach entertained with an imaginary me, rarely shouting out some phrases

"How boring is this," I thought, "Maybe we should do something too?" I ask my neighbor in my head

But instead of her expected answer, I got a severe headache, after which a familiar male voice spoke "EnVy. CoPyInG. UsE" The voice trailed off and the headache disappeared with it.

"FEEL CAN YOU HEAR ME?" Night screams at me in her phantom form, noticing that I reacted to her call, she anxiously asks "Are you normal? You ask the question yourself and then ignores me, what can you come up with in response?"

"Did you hear him?" I ask her worriedly

"Who can I hear here? It's just us here," she answers confidently, but noticing my worried look, her gaze became softer and asked uncertainly "Who could you hear?"

"After I asked you a question, I had a headache and then I heard the voice of that dark silhouette and it told me three things: envy, copying and using. After that, the pain went away and I heard your voice" told her what happened

"I see" she answers me quietly and began to think again. For a while, she stared at one point, then her gaze shifted to me and after a moment, her gaze fell on my “coach” and back at me, suddenly it dawned on her wildly "Maybe I know what to do, the question is, can I trust that creature?" she asks me a question skeptically

I did not look confidently into her eyes, realizing that there was no strong trust from that creature, but something inside me seemed to say that I needed to believe him and I hope that he was not telling me this

"I think we need to trust him at least once, at least try to do it," I answer her, "Plus, I think if he wanted to hurt us somehow, he would have already hurt us."

"Okay, but I wouldn't trust him completely" she shrugs it off "After one personal meeting, my trust in him was enough, but if you're thinking of trying to trust him, then I'll try" when she finished, she took a couple of breaths, making it clear that she wasn't pleased to remember that moment. Then she looks at the person in the room and continues to say, "I assume that your head friend gives you the opportunity to copy something from people and use it to your advantage. I do not know what exactly, but you should definitely be jealous of it."

"Damn," I scold to myself, "I don't want you messing with my brain anymore, the time you experimented with my emotions was enough for me."

Night smiled easily and rolled her eyes "It's your own fault that you couldn't prove yourself properly, also, you didn't get a lot of experience"

"Okay, okay, but still, how is it better to express envy on your own?" I ask my teacher

Night rolls her eyes wearily, without thinking much, she begins to speak "As I think it is much easier to cause envy than any other emotion and I am sure that you once, unknowingly, but also envied something" looked at me slyly and continued to speak

"There are no such creatures who could do everything in the world, but there are those who want more than they really can, and at such moments this trait of “envy" wakes up in us. There are such moments in all spheres of society, the poor envy the rich, the weak envy the strong, the younger envy the older..." at this point, she stopped for a moment, but after a while she continued "Okay, I'm going to take a nap for a while, because of all these thoughts and magic, I didn't get tired much" the blue mist began to return to my body and she finally told me "Envy, makes me want something to change yourself, then everything depends only on your desire to repeat or surpass it" and her voice fell silent in my head

When she fell silent, only one indignation remained in my head: "And when will I be able to mentally rest?" I asked myself a rhetorical question

Left alone and without support, I began to dig into my emotions

"Envy, you need to arouse envy in yourself" I start looking at my test subject "So, from the beginning you need to understand what I should be jealous of" without thinking much aside, only one thing comes to mind "I have to copy the combat experience"

Having made a choice, I stand a few meters away from him and stretch out my arms in his direction. "Well, let's try it"

A couple of minutes pass, but the effect has not happened

"Damn, what am I doing wrong?" I ask myself and lower my numb hands, "Why is nothing happening?" I grab my head and start freaking out to myself, "Damn, damn, DAMN" and from an outburst of anger, my hands begin to glow with a red-blue light, making it clear that now Magic works

* sigh* "Maybe this is it?" I ask myself and look at the object of copying "We won't know until we try" I stretch out my hands in front of Pharynx and concentrate on the emotion that is driving me now

But the effect was not necessary, a blue sphere formed in front of my hands that resembled the magic of my teacher and from my shock, I let go of the projectile and it flies straight at Pharynx, which is calmly in a trance

"Damn, that's not what I wanted," I tell myself in horror, I don't close my eyes much, I quietly say to myself "I'm sorry" looking at him

But I was surprised by further events, my projectile was rapidly approaching Pharynx, who had his back to me in a trance, as soon as my clot was already at arm's length from him, he did not do his best, he quickly turned to me with his eyes closed, stretched out his hand in the direction of my sphere and redirected with soft but fast movements She was on the other side of herself and continued to wave her arms in the air as if nothing had happened.

I was standing not far from him with my mouth agape and could not believe, he was under hypnosis, was able to feel the attack from outside and was also able to easily repel it

After watching his actions, I felt my weakness in front of him, the difference that was in front of us, he was much more useful in his condition than I was in the present

Here he abruptly stops in place and stands at attention, facing me and without realizing it, I walked slowly towards him

When I reached him in the dense, I looked at his appearance entirely, a tall man with a very rude expression, I would not envy his appearance, but what he can do greatly infringes on my inner self

"Am I envy now?" I ask myself, "Maybe this is it" is not realized, my hand slowly reaches out to him, "Not a pleasant feeling of envy, for something better and not possible that I want to be able to do as well" and I touched his clothes

Unexpectedly for me, my hand began to glow red and an unpleasant tremor passed through it, I abruptly took my hand away from him, not knowing what was happening, but it didn't stop there. From the point of contact there is a green plume of magic that goes in my direction, changing its shade to red and ending on my hand

When the process of magic stopped, my eyes blurred and my body began to hurt a lot, but fortunately, it passed after a couple of seconds and everything returned to its original state

"What the hell was that," I stood in shock and suddenly, I felt an inexorable tremor at my side and involuntary I jump aside

When I jumped back, I noticed that Pharynx suddenly attacked me and tried to hit me

I ask myself, but something inside me tells me that the attacks haven't stopped there.

And as it turned out, I was right, Pharynx quickly approached me and delivered another punch, which I also successfully evaded

This was followed by a couple more punches and a few unsuccessful grapples, which I successfully dodged. "Wow," I'm happy, "I was able to copy it and it all seems too predictable for me," I brag

But after a few more dodges, my body makes itself felt, my muscles start to hurt a lot and a strong cramp appeared on my legs, which makes it impossible for me to dodge the next attack

*Bam* I caught a blow and flew hard into the wall, but fortunately I was still conscious

"Damn, it hurts," I swear at myself and grab my hand, "It's not surprising, I was able to copy the skill, but my body remained weak, that's what lack of training leads to"

Looking up, I noticed that Pharynx was walking towards me, still with his eyes closed "Wow, he's still under hypnosis, but I can't do anything further, only a miracle can save me" and at that moment the doors to the training room open, from which Pharynx comes out of hypnosis, opens his eyes and yawns "Looks like luck is still on my side" I smile

* yawns* "Where am I?" Pharynx asks a question and looks around, but before he has time to look in the right direction, he receives a strong blow to the head, from which he falls to the floor and continues to lie there

"What the fuck are you doing here?" Chrysalis swears and she looked very angry "When I appointed you to be his coach, it doesn't mean that you had to bring him to such a state"

He did not answer her in any way and continued to lie on the ground like a corpse, as if the rule “do not beat lying people” was in effect here

I lay there and watched the familiar faces of Yon and Yut come up to me with sorrows on their faces

"Hey, bro, are you okay?" asks Yut a question

"My God, you're in a terrible state" Yon worries "Just don't move, tell me where it hurts… Oh, that's right" she was embarrassed "You don't have to say, just nod, are you in pain?" I nod "Does something hurt?" she asks and sees my displeased grimace, hits herself on the head and continues "Oh, I'm sorry, something brought me"

Then a worried Chrysalis comes up to us and looms over us "Is everything all right?"

"Well, how can I say it" says Yut "He hears and sees us, it's already good"

Chrysalis smiles slightly and says "This is good" and takes out of his pocket a small bottle with something pink in it "Here you go, this is the essence of love, but not simple, but very concentrated, few people can get it without my permission, but for you I made an exception" and winked at me "It will help you need to heal your wounds, but be careful, my child, it is very strong and you need to take it in drops every couple of hours," and now she turns around, takes Pharynx, who was still lying on the ground, by the scruff of the neck and heads for the exit "Go back to your cabin and get well, tomorrow there will be another training session" and he leaves

When she left, we all breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other.

"Well, what can I say" Yut begins "You're alive, and that's the main thing"

"I agree with him" Yon nods "I was very worried about you"

I wanted to ask them where they were, but unfortunately, I forgot my daily planner

"Woof" then I heard a familiar barking

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound together and we saw the dog Scales, familiar to me, who had my diary with the pen "About time" in her mouth

"I said it last time, but this dog scares me" says Yut and his sister nods "I'll tell you so, it seemed to me or likes to eat stones"

I calmly take my diary from Scales, stroked it along the way as a thank you and am going to write a message, but one thing puzzles me: "Didn't it hurt me a couple of minutes ago?"

Wondering this question, I put aside my diary and slowly get up, which in turn surprises everyone sitting next to me

"Um, doesn't it hurt?" asks Yon a question

I take my diary and write there "Believe it or not, but it really hurt me a couple of minutes ago, but now my muscles hurt a little", I show them my entry and actively move my body, showing that it doesn't hurt me

After reading my message, Yut says "Well, if you feel good, then that's good, otherwise I didn't want to carry you in my arms to your room"

I am writing a new message "Where have you been?"

After reading the note, they simultaneously looked away and nervously exchanged glances

"You, uh, don't need to worry about it" says Yon and judging by her voice, she stuttered "It's not like it has nothing to do with you and will not produce anything in the future with you" she smiled innocently

Yut rolls his eyes and slaps himself in the face, saying softly "Fool"

Realizing that it is not worth continuing this topic any further, I write a new question "What are we going to do with this bottle?"

After reading it, Yon confidently says "And don't worry about it" she grabs a bottle with love "I have a special place where I drain it"

Yut looked at her skeptically "Are you sure about this?"

She nods confidently "Absolutely, how many days have passed and nothing strange has happened to us, so I'm sure that the place is reliable"

"Okay," he answers wearily, "You know, I'll take him to the cabin for now, and you go to the dining room and bring normal food to his cabin, and we'll meet there"

She hesitated for a long time, but still agreed and ran to the dining room so as not to waste time

After watching her go, Yut sighs heavily and turns to me with a serious expression on his face

"As you can see, she doesn't know how to keep secrets or even lie. But in fact, we were called to discuss an event in your honor," he says, getting up and heading out of the hall, and I followed him "Our mother wants to organize a demonstration in your honor again" as soon as we left the hall, he began to speak in a whisper "There you can show everyone what kind of changeling do you really imagine, it will take place in five days, namely on the day of arrival at Manehatten and I think this will be the best moment to escape, but the plan is still being finalized, but for now, try to survive until that moment" he smiles awkwardly

He finished speaking and we walked on in silence

At this time, the Chrysalis office

"Are you seriously saying you don't remember anything?" she asks

"Yes, Mother, I don't remember anything at all," he says seriously, "But I definitely remember that I was surprised and had fun

Chrysalis nervously rubbed her temples and looked seriously at Pharynx

"I understand you, but please be a little more gentle with him" she asked him and from such a request, he was very surprised "In five days, the Silenta demonstration match will take place again and in it he must show his full potential and I would not want him to fall into a coma again"

Pharynx sighed heavily, but nodded quietly to her "I'll try everything I can, but don't expect more from me"

"Yes, yes, and now go already" she throws him out "I still have a lot of paperwork"

"I'm listening to you" he turns around and leaves the office, speaking softly aloud "Surprisingly, she said please"

Chrysalis was left alone in the office again and couldn't keep the smile off her face

"Son, I can't resist seeing what you've learned," she says happily in a low voice.

Looking at her desk, her expression changed greatly to sad when she saw a large stack of papers, remembering where they were going

"I hate this continent," Chrysalis thought of Manehattene, "It brings back unpleasant memories of the past and the people living there," she does not realize that a pencil breaks in her hands out of anger, "I do not know how, but they did something to this place and now we can not set foot on this continent in any way"

But from such thoughts, she is distracted by the sound of water coming through the pipes above her head

"What the hell is going on there" she swears "Lately, I've started to hear this noise a lot, I'll have to deal with it" after looking at the pipe, she yawns "But not now"

Currently Feel (Silent)

We had already reached my room and were waiting for Yon to come to us, and fortunately we didn't have to wait long for her

"I'm sorry it took so long," she says "I was still draining this essence on the way" and shows us an empty bottle

"Are you sure it needed to be done urgently?" he objects

"What's the big deal?" she is perplexed "What is now, what is later, one rubbish difference" she waves it off, then she switches to me and takes something out of her pockets "Here you go, this is the only normal thing that I could take"

I take it and realize that it's just plain black bread.

"I do not know who decided this, but no one wants to feed you and they say that “The White ghost feeds on nightmares, not food” and I thought it was funny"

I felt uneasy about such rumors, because part of it is true.

Yut did not flinch much at the mention of the “White Ghost” and began to look around "You are it, come on, go to your room and wait for further news" he winks at me "And we will go about our business" and he grabs Yon by the hand

"Yes, he's right, we still have a lot of plans" she says playfully "And probably we'll see each other only tomorrow and that's why" she quickly hugs me and says "See you tomorrow"

I go into my room and am completely alone again…
...as it seemed to me

"Well, my dear student, what progress have you made?" suddenly Night appears next to me and, as always, in a good mood, talks a little too much

"How can I say, I can say that I am making progress" I am not surprised at her appearance

"Then tell me what you understand?" She asks me

"As I understood it, with a feeling of strong envy, I was able to copy some skills from Pharynx, but it only worked when I touched it." Then one thought came to my mind, "And if you think about it, didn't you help me in any way?"

"Why such suspicions?" she looks at me in surprise

"I just remembered that at some point, he suddenly froze in place "looking at her suspiciously " Also, due to mysterious circumstances, he woke up exactly at the moment when other people entered the hall, so tell me, are you really not involved in this?"

"Okay, okay, you caught me" she gave up "I really didn't do much help, because if it wasn't for me, then you would have continued to be stupid and therefore don't thank me, but just worship" she smiled at me

"I'm doing it anyway," he looked at her slyly, and she was embarrassed by this answer

"Okay, we still have a lot of work to do" I stretch my body

"And what have you decided to do now?" She asks me briskly

"It's simple, I'm going to train my body now," I confidently answer her, "The fact is that although I was able to copy the skill from him, but my body couldn't fully show it and therefore, I plan to seriously do it."

"And you're doing great" she praises me "I like that you're trying to think ahead, but don't forget, you need to do nightmares too"

I stop to stretch my body and look at her with a little resentment, "But maybe without it?"

"Don't whine here, have you forgotten what will happen in five days? At that moment, you need to wake up any power that you accumulate" she looked at me seriously "And now collect your snot and study"

I spent the rest of the day and into the night training my body. According to mysterious situations, after long and hard training, I did not feel very tired and, as Night noticed, my endurance is recovering faster than usual

According to her theory, I may have unknowingly copied someone's endurance skill, but what could that mean to me? Which means I didn't have a reason to take a break from training due to fatigue.

The night passed for me as usual, without incident, and surprisingly the dark entity was silent or unable to speak at the moment, or it was waiting for a certain occasion

To be continued…….

Author's Note

Another day has ended for our hero and, as always, he still has a lot to learn and learn something new about himself
The next day it will not seem sweet to him and the most problematic thing is that he cannot show his magic to everyone, and when day X comes, the changeling will expect serious changes

Uh, hello? Yes, I know myself, I haven't posted chapters for a long time again. There are a couple of reasons why there were no chapters, the main one is laziness! I'm very lazy, here's a meme showing you how I'm trying to deal with it (Yes, it's like my character)

But do not worry, during this time I have already written a couple of chapters, so far I will post only one, and the next one will not be difficult to wait a long time

I'll tell you this, everything that happened is happening and will happen for a reason, every action has its own reason. Nothing happens “just like that". No wonder the fanfiction is called “Silent question”
Also, I want to remind you that I put the characters I draw in the Album as I see them, and now the mysterious dog Scales has appeared there.

Now I'm trying to draw Yut and You the way I see it
What else can I say? Wait, then – more
