Chapter 10: Sound
Sound. The first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word sound is music or anything you hear. As a power, sound requires a medium, therefore, there are a lot of limitations to the power of sound. Its effects vary in different media. And if the opponent is someone who has control over air, a vacuum space is enough to break the user's sound.
That's how normal people think. That's what people expect from sound. To anyone, sound is nothing but a support-type ability. Sonic booms, high frequency, and more.
But Ray is different... He thinks sound needs a medium. If the conduit can control sound, then they can read the medium. If they can read the medium, they can read the resonance, frequency, vibrations, and density.
A core circulates life force like blood throughout the body. The way it circulates is altered to bring out the abilities of respected clans, families, and organisations.
As life force flows, it generates a unique resonance index signature (RIS), which is often measured by a specialized tech, resonance index reader (RIR).
Therefore, if trained in a particular way, Meloni cannot only measure the resonance, but she can also read it. If she can read the resonance, she can read the life force. And if she can read the life force...
'She can be a true powerhouse who can not only use her own power, but also mimic her opponent or cancel out their power. She can weaken the core by disrupting the resonance, even break it, crippling someone for life!' Ray thought, staring at Meloni, who was feeding her bird, Milo.
'But right now, her core is nowhere near strong enough to acquire that skill. Her body is not reinforced. And her perception is not of that level...' Ray thought.
'Her core and her body...' Ray looked at his wing with his head hung low.
'I can reinforce them without making a visual change in her appearance. My force breath,' Ray thought. Ray's force breath, it's not just unique, but it's the one thing that every person in the world desires.
'But it'll be worth it...' He thought.
