Chapter 49: Esper Ability Testing 2
"Guh!" Kaizer winced as he felt a spike of pain in his head but was surprised to find out that it wasn’t as terrible as he had expected.
Per his assumptions, the shattering of a psychic barrier should be akin to breaking the arms of a person who was blocking an oncoming attack with their palm. It should completely cripple that person and leave them in a forced recovery state for a while, but he was proven wrong.
Kaizer had always wondered about this and planned to ask when he enrolled, but seeing that this was a testing room, he decided to maintain his barrier till it shattered, since this would be the perfect environment to test this for himself, lest he entered a dangerous situation and was unable to go all out.
Now, he had his answer.
The dummy disappeared and was replaced by a white cube that was not made of any tangible materials that Kaizer could tell.
"Applicant Kaizer, please lift the cube as high as you can for as long as you can using telekinesis only."
Kaizer nodded and focused, enveloping the cube in the faint blue outline of his psychic power and lifting it up. His face changed quickly though, because this cube was far heavier than even their family’s Escalade, making him only able to lift it about 10 meters off the ground before his forehead began to throb.
Kaizer did his best and held it up for about 15 seconds before losing his mental grip on it and almost falling to his knees, his brain swimming in fatigue and murkiness due to overexertion.
"Telekinesis test complete. Applicant Kaizer was tested in three areas: maximum output, maximum tolerance, and maximum sustainability. In terms of maximum output, the applicant was able to exert a force of 4 million newtons, the equivalent of a speeding train. In terms of maximum tolerance, the applicant was able to endure 4 attacks per second at a million newtons per strike, equivalent to the power of a speeding SUV. In terms of maximum sustainability, the applicant was able to lift a 3,000kg cube up 10 meters for 15 seconds, equivalent to a fully matured hippopotamus."
