Chapter 24: Who Is This?
Draven pondered for a moment in silence.
"Clairvoyance and precognition."
"Huh?" Avelina arched her brows. "What sort of abilities are they?"
"Clairvoyance is an ability that simply involves the extrasensory perception of information or events that cannot be perceived through the ordinary senses. In simpler words, I can sit right here and perceive what is happening a long distance away from me," Draven clarified.
Avelina blinked her eyes twice. "That’s...really cool."
She smiled and asked, "What about the other one?"
"Precognition. It is an ability that allows me to instinctively glimpse five seconds into the future before any event transpires—a negative event specifically," Draven briefly explained.
He looked at her and glanced at the bewilderment on her face.
"It’s like this, Avelina," he proceeded to clarify. "If you were to suddenly pick up a knife and throw it at me without my knowledge, I would instantly see five seconds into the future of how you would do it and the rest of the event that would occur afterward. It’s as though time had stopped at that moment, thus allowing me to leisurely dodge it."
He continued, "It is the ability that makes it kind of impossible to kill me. My father does not have an idea of this ability, which is why he is bewildered at how I am always able to survive every single bullshit he does to me. He only has knowledge of the clairvoyance ability."
Avelina was speechless. Her jaw had fallen in amazement, and her eyes lit up in awe.
