The Guy Who Messed Up Is Gradually Doing His Best - Chapter 40

“Gouda-kun, please place both hands here and concentrate your psychic energy.”

“Yes. Understood.”

Nouriki-sensei effortlessly carried over an inspection device slightly larger than a laptop. After placing the device on the floor and turning it on, it seemed that the setup was finally complete after about five minutes of interacting with the device.

That device was a bit difficult to use when placed on the floor, but I quickly sat down in seiza and placed both hands on the device.

I didn’t really understand how to concentrate my psychic energy, but the teacher said it would be good to try levitating the testing device a little with my mind, so I immediately tried it.

“Ah…”

I was immediately struck by a sense of weakness as if I were donating blood.

“Yes, that’s it. Just stay like that a little longer.”

The sensation of my strength draining away is unbearably unpleasant, but I endure it silently.

“Yes, that’s enough already.”

The small red lamp in the upper right corner of the device is lit. I wonder if that was the signal that the measurement was complete. Oh well.

When I let go of my hands and stare intently at the screen,

——Oh?

The text appeared immediately.

Relaxation: 10

————————————————

For a moment, I couldn’t keep up with the understanding and was a bit dazed…

——I have three other special abilities besides teleportation. Telepathy, healing, and relaxation?

“Hey, Gouda-kun, this is amazing!”

“Whoa. Hey, you surprised me, sensei!”

While I was staring at the screen, I heard a voice right behind me and was startled. When I turned around, the teacher’s face was right next to me, and I was startled again.

I give the teacher a sidelong glance, but she doesn’t seem to care.

“Having four special abilities is quite rare. Moreover, many of those abilities are highly valued.”

Telepath

You can convey your thoughts and feelings to others without speaking.

Healing

Heal illnesses and injuries.

Relaxation

Relieve the tension and anxiety in the mind and body.

I think it’s impressive how the teacher speaks in a low voice to avoid being overheard by others, but… Teacher, please don’t suddenly start massaging my shoulders. Did she want to loosen me up because I’m tense? Am I really that tense?

“Is it true that men have more special abilities because they are men?”

Men have low telekinetic abilities, so they are not interested in telekinesis. Moreover, they can get by without knowing it.

So there are hardly any men who are curious enough to investigate the details of their special abilities.

So, the teacher comes and apologizes, saying she doesn’t understand that part.

“Oh, I see. But it’s nice to have a clear understanding of the abilities I can use.”

“Yes. That’s good to hear.”

——Hmm?

Everyone who was warming up in pairs is now in groups of four, lifting a single ball near the ceiling.

“Hehe, that is…”

Even if one’s telekinetic ability is low, one can lift objects high by alternating their telekinesis. However, the timing is quite difficult, and it seems they are getting used to it in class.

They say this is a required course because it will be useful (often used) in society. Oh, really?

Now that I’ve understood my abilities, I’ve decided to start leveling up just like everyone else. My partner is the teacher.

“Oh, by the way, don’t overdo the relaxation by yourself just because it feels good.”

The teacher said and smiled slyly.

“? Is there something that happens if I go too far?”

Relaxation seems good for when you’re mentally tired, so I was looking forward to using it before bed, thinking it would help me sleep soundly, but does it have any fatal flaws?

“Look, you know, that thing. The thing boys do when they get pent up. I heard that using relaxation excessively feels really good, so I thought you might be overdoing it. But isn’t it a waste? If you’re going to do it alone, I thought I’d like to help you out, you know? Haha.”

I feel foolish for having taken it seriously. So, it turns out that Nouriki-sensei likes dirty jokes.

“Hah, I won’t do it. More importantly, Sensei, I can only move things about 1 meter with telekinesis, so is this area okay?”

I’ve gotten a bit better at moving longer distances compared to when I was practicing with seniors, but after seeing everyone, I still have a long way to go.

By the way, psychokinesis consumes more psychic energy depending on the weight of the object being moved. In my case, I hardly use any psychic energy for a ball like this during practice.

“Oh my, Gouda-kun is getting all flustered, how cute… right? Hey, Gouda-kun, your telekinetic ability is 1, right? With 1, 1 meter is impossible…!?”

“Yes, sensei. What’s wrong?”

The teacher who received the ball is looking at me in surprise. Is it because I, with my talent level of 1, moved it 1 meter with telekinesis?

“What do you mean? Hey, Gouda-kun.”

“Um, it’s because I activated it again the moment the telekinesis wore off.”

“Normally, there should be a cooldown period of 1 to 2 seconds (depending on the individual) before you can cast it again.”

The teacher is moving the ball towards me. Speaking of which, I think the skateboarder-senpai said something like that too, but it can’t be helped since I can do it. I don’t know the reason.

“Even if you say that…”

Move the ball to the teacher’s hands once more.

“How strange, I wonder how it works?”

The teacher was surprised by the telekinesis, but when it came to telepathy, she was completely useless. Instead of being laughed at, she somehow felt relieved.
