Author's note: Hello everyone! This chapter is quite short but I can't help it; the scenario in my plan ends there.
I have completely written down all the plots until the end (chapter 39) so I am quite prepared to end this ride!
Now, time for you to drink another coffee of good read.
Enjoys!
Qwqs
Accomplish
Note: Meditation and some supernatural elements in this story were referenced from how real meditations and supernatural in Buddhism work. So in a sense, it is realistic if you do believe in supernatural matters. I did not pull it out of my ass using only my imagination.
Kanade focuses her attention on her heartbeat, unaware of the glowing ring.
After a while, she sees the light in her mind and the feeling of euphoria she felt last time manifests itself again.
'I won't make the same mistake twice,' thinking so, she ignores the feeling and does what the expert instructed - relaxing her mind and making her body as comfortable as possible.
This is what he advised her to do when faced with the same euphoria state again. He said it is not the correct way if she wants to achieve enlightenment in Buddhism but it is the fastest way for what she wishes to accomplish.
'What is this?' after a few more moments have passed, she feels like something is slowly pulled her out from her body. The feeling is kind of like her soul is getting sucked out.
The feeling doesn't stop and soon she sees her own physical body from a third-person perspective.
At that moment, she realizes…
She did it! Out-of-body experience!
Kanade examines her current self. Her current self is more transparent and brighter than her physical body that she is seeing right now.
'So this is what my astral body is like,' Kanade muses so.
As she continues to examine her current state, Akari smiles in her astral body's direction – a different direction from her physical body - and says, "You did it!"
Apparently, Akari can see her in this form. As expected of a once psychic.
After she finishes examining herself, she decides to test how much her astral body can do.
First, she tries touching objects. The result is: her hand passes through them.
Second, she tries to make her body float up. The result is: she can't fly.
'How useless is this?' Although she heard from the Thai expert that it is not easy to make use of one's astral body without some practices, this is beyond useless.
Aside from the fact that her consciousness is currently out of her physical body, nothing changes.
Curious whether other people apart from the former psychic can see her or not, she tries to travel to where Ayato is in this form, however, when she has traveled a certain distance, the strength leaves her body and she can't take even a single step further.
"Kanade-chan, you can't go too far from your body! It is dangerous!" Akari's voice rings from behind her.
'I see, so there is a certain distance I can go out of my physical body's range,' that is her conclusion after hearing Akari's words.
She goes back to her physical body while measuring the distance between the farthest she can go and her physical body.
'Around 5 meters. That is how far I can currently go,' she concludes so after she is done.
'With more practices, I can do better than this,' Kanade convinces herself so as that is what the expert told her.
While she is contemplating these things, suddenly, there is a mysterious suction force that sucks her astral body back to her physical body.
'Wait! Not yet!' Kanade tries to resist but to no avail.
At the next moment, she is back to her physical body again.
She slowly opens her eyes, feels both glad that she was able to achieve an out-of-body experience and a little annoyed at how abrupt that experience ended.
The first sight that she sees is that of a smiling Akari.
"Welcome back, Kanade-chan! Congratulations! You definitely did it!" Akari says a little excitedly.
Kanade smiles in response, "Thanks, Naoi-san. You could see me, right?"
"I only saw it vaguely as a strange body-shape light moving around. I am quite sure it is you, however," Akari replies.
"I see," Kanade nods.
"What should we do now that you have achieved it?" Akari considers, "Oh, I know! Let us ask Anon-san what we should do next!"
That is Akari's suggestion. Anon is the one who suggested this way as a way for Kanade to meet with Yuzuru to solve their problem after all.
"I agree," Kanade joyfully nods.
It is really unexpected that she was able to achieve an out-of-body experience this soon and it is a pleasant surprise.
Akari quickly uses her phone to call Anon.
Since a result happened this quickly, it seems like her path to seeing Yuzuru again is not so grim after all.
At this moment, however, the glowing ring dims down like it never shined in the first place.
Done!
Man, it is definitely hard to write down! This is the best I can do for this chapter so I am sorry if I disappoint any of you.
The story will end soon. Care to guess what the next chapter will be about?
Let us begin the last part of this ride!
Please read and review!
