Chapter 13: A World Not His Own
His hand bumped into one of the high, unstable stacks of documents.
"Ah!"
Both Dominic and Louis cried out as the pile of paperwork collapsed in an avalanche, spilling over the edge of the desk.
Before the papers could fall, Shiao Yi instinctively used telekinesis to stop them in midair. Then, while he was at it, he tidied the stacks, organizing them by category and arranging them into neat piles on the desk.
The once chaotic mess was now reasonably sorted.
Shiao Yi pulled out the exact document Dominic had been reaching for, selecting it from the newly organized piles and spreading it out in front of him. The document responded to the image Dominic had in mind—Shiao Yi somehow knew which one it was.
"A-Amazing!" Louis gasped, his eyes wide in surprise and excitement. "This is the same power you used earlier when you took down those magical beasts, right?"
Dominic also looked stunned. "You said this wasn’t magic. Then what kind of power is it?"
"Before I explain anything," Shiao Yi replied, "can you please put me down? I told you already—I’m not a child. I’m eighteen. Just because I’m smaller than you two doesn’t make me a kid."
"What? Eighteen? You really don’t look it!"
