Science/Magic 13 Specialization

"… t.i.to, explain." Camilla said.

t.i.to nodded. [Actually, under normal circ.u.mstances, young master would have been able to use this ability freely, but…]

"But?"

[As I said before, young master's calculation zone is completely filled up and [Molecular Disintegration] is too strong. The calculations necessary to activate this ability are too complicated, so using it is nigh impossible in the current circ.u.mstances. Moreover, to make things worse, young master possesses yet another ESP ability, occupying even more of his calculation zone. Right now, young master will be unable to use this ability until he expands his calculation zone enough, and according to my estimations, it will be impossible if he doesn't become an S-Grade Esper.]

Camilla fell silent. She did not expect her happiness to be so short-lived.

To explain it, the grade of an ESP ability doesn't represent just its strength, but also its potential. An S-Grade ability means that the user has a high chance of becoming an S-Grade ESPer with enough time and hard work.

Of course, it's possible to go beyond the grade of the ability. Many B-Grade ESP holders had managed to improve their psychic power to Grade, becoming Grade ESPers. But once you reach the limits of your ESP, taking even a step forward is incredibly hard.

Bloed has an SSS-Grade ability, so under normal circ.u.mstances, becoming an SSS-Grade ESPer was highly possible, but now that he is unable to use this ability, he has to depend on the C-Grade ability, [Enhanced Brain Capacity], to improve his psychic power.

However, the limit of [Enhanced Brain Capacity] is C-Grade. To improve it further until S-Grade and unlock his second ESP will be incredibly hard.

"t.i.to, what do you think?" Camilla held her forehead and asked.

t.i.to focused its sight on Bloed. [The situation is not hopeless, master. Although improving young master's psychic power three levels after the limit is hard, it's not impossible. We need to explain the situation to young master and support him with all our capacity. The rest will depend on young master's efforts.]

Camilla shook her head. "Even if it's not impossible, it's not far from that. I only know of two or three people that managed to improve three levels beyond their limit, and most of them took decades to achieve it."

[We can only trust young master's talent.]

"... You are right. Besides, my son is a genius. I'm sure he will find a way." Camilla smiled proudly. "t.i.to, wake Bloed up. I'll tell him about his abilities."

[Understood, master.]

…

"Mother." Bloed walked towards Camilla awkwardly. He was not yet used to call her mother, so he felt a bit awkward every time he had to speak to her.

"Sit." Camilla pointed to a chair beside her. "How are you feeling after the operation? Are you uncomfortable in any place?"

"No, mother. t.i.to already checked my body up and confirmed that everything is normal."

"Good." Camilla nodded gently. "Bloed, I have good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"… The good news?"

Camilla smiled. "Your ESP activation was successful. Moreover, you didn't awaken one ESP ability, but two!"

"Really!?" Bloed was excited.

"Yes. One is [C-Grade Enhanced Brain Capacity] and the other is [SSS-Grade Molecular Disintegration]"

"SSS-Grade!!!!?" Bloed's mouth opened in an 'O' shape. Camilla had explained the ESP grades to him before, so he knew that an SSS ability meant.

Having an SSS-Grade ability means that his future potential is limitless! Moreover, it would be easier for him to take the step after SSS-Grade and step in the legendary realm that only a handful of ESPer had touched in history.

Seeing his excitement, Camilla proceeded to explain the characteristics of his abilities. Bloed was even more excited when he learned that [Molecular Disintegration] allowed him to break down all the matter into atoms, or even subatomic particles!

But then, Camilla told him the bad news.

"… In other words, I can't use [Molecular Disintegration]." Bloed sighed.

"Yes, you need to become an S-Grade ESPer before being able to make use of that ability."

Bloed fell silent.

"Are you alright?" Camilla asked.

Bloed nodded. "I am. Just give me a bit of time to think." He then took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze had turned firm.

"I just need to become an S-Grade ESPer, right? What do I have to do?"

Camilla grinned. "Don't worry, I'll teach you everything you need to know."

"I understand. When do we start?"

"Soon, my child. By the way, have you decided which career option you will choose?"

Bloed nodded. He had finished learning all the basic knowledge a few days ago, so Camilla had asked him to choose a specialization to continue learning.

To be honest, Bloed wanted to learn everything.

Learning new knowledge was one of Bloed's favorite hobbies. Plus, he was very intelligent, so most of the time he did not need much time to learn something new. Due to that, he wanted to learn many different things, but Camilla did not allow it.

According to Camilla, each individual branch of knowledge was impossible to study completely. Trying to learn more than one at once was biting off more than one can chew.

It was better to choose a branch and specialize in it completely. And even if he was going to choose two, then he should focus on one and use the second to supplement the first.

Bloed agreed with her words after thinking for a while, so in the end, he was forced to choose one career between the many he wanted to learn.

"So, what is your choice?"

Bloed looked at the machines in the room and curved up the corner of his lips.

"I'll learn mechanical engineering."
