Chapter 60: Combat Training
Despite the exaggerated scene before him, Kaizer remained calm, as even at this speed, he could still track the combat dummy within his psychic domain. He saw the power-packed punch that tore through the air coming for him, opting to dodge it with a slight movement, reminiscent of when he was avoiding projectiles.
Then, he also unleashed a blow of his own, packed with the power of his telekinesis behind it, and Kaizer immediately realized the difference. When fighting against Barnes back then, he had to exert 90% effort using his telekinesis and 10% using his body, with his telekinesis having to do most of the work to enhance his power.
After the upgrades and the recent training, he noticed that his telekinesis’ workload was reduced by a small amount since his body was stronger and more limber than before. This small increase, when combined together, actually multiplied exponentially upon his final power output, causing his punch that struck the combat dummy’s chest to form an air cannon that would have shattered windows if this were a hallway.
Sending the dummy flying, Kaizer did not pursue. Even the young man who was reserved and placid most of the time could not help but be in a daze, looking down at his hands as if disbelieving that he had actually managed to do that.
He knew he was strong, as even before coming to the Esper Academy, he had been training daily with Rina using his own routine, so he would measure his progress after. However, Kaizer now understood the difference between self-training and training from a qualified instructor, especially in results.
In this one week of training at home, he had even conceitedly thought that he was soon reaching the peak of his current power and could ’progress’ further if any ’willing’ enemies presented themselves before him, but now he understood that he had not even tapped into 1% of his potential.
No wonder the Dean was confident that the current him could become the strongest after a few years of intense training. Kaizer now fully believed it, even without his special growth ability, he would be able to stand atop the Esper World!
The combat dummy struck the wall and dug itself out quickly, charging back toward Kaizer using its abhorrent speed. Kaizer snapped out of his daze and refocused, this time slightly focusing his telekinetic power forward.
A telekinesis cannon of raw power struck the dummy, sending it flying again, while pasting it against the wall with its limbs outstretched. While Kaizer was all up for a heroic hand-to-hand exchange, he was not a single-track-minded idiot.
