Karin had been surrounded for the whole day by many girls of her class, and the word was spreading in the whole school.

How did you do that? Asked one of them

Was that Level Upper? Asked another one

Was that augmented power from high training? Asked one of her senpai

Karin couldn't refrain her happiness, she felt in the center of attention, but somehow she felt that it was just appearance, because now she was powerful and they were not

I suggest you to be silent for the moment, then invite with your phone a group of girls you think you can trust, and then I'll tell you what to tell them the voice inside her head spoke so, and she trusted him again.

At 5 ò clock she met her friends, and she started to tell what the voice told her.

There is a spirit on the grave of that Esper that had died recently, I think it may be his she said

He drove me near him and gave me this and she showed them her symbol, they were surprised and also fearful at the same time.

Thanks to this, I can have powers, He also communicates with me with this

They were skeptical, and she felt unsure "Are you sure this was a good idea?" She asked to the voice in her head, and he answered "It is, they will believe in you for what you did"

I showed you my powers, so you must believe me, right? They did, and then one of them asked.

How can we gain it? And Karin answered You just have to follow me to his grave at night, when no one's around, we will go there and he will surely give you powers

We are with you, Karin and they all agreed to meet at night.

That night, the rock was surrounded by ten girls.

A voice was heard in their heads I am the Future's messenger, I'm bringing what comes next, now.

I'm bringing you powers because It's destiny that humanity will evolve that way, you will be the first that will begin this dangerous journey, and the very first new humans, normal humans will hunt you for you'll have powers, magicians will hunt you for you are more powerful than them, normal Espers will fear you, because you will make their uniqueness something normal, but one day the whole humanity will thank you, since you will be the one who made them free from their prison that they don't even know

They all received those symbols, and they all felt the power inside them You shall be my representatives on this city of science, and bring to humanity is future: Esper, thou shall be the future of your kind, a new age is coming, Nietzsche had predicted it long ago, but he could never think that our Will of Power would be literally real, made of mental power, now go on, go into this city, I assign you one mission: to draw that symbol on the main sections of this city, thus our power will be able to get there too, and remember: then more you are near to your symbol, then more you are powerfull, this is Magic, because everyone can do that, but it's also Esper, because you don't need magic formulas, this is the new kind of Power that will combine them both and will one day took over society

The girls were amazed and scared at the same time, and they slowly disappeared, and for all the day they enjoyed their new powers, they felt powerful and also respected by watchers.

Karin felt especially good Karin-chan will be your guide, she has more power than you because she was the first of your kind, and remember this: If she wants to, she can remove your powers, by countrary, if she thinks you are good enough or if you do enough missions, she will get you more power, so respect her, and respect me, and more power is coming Those girls respected Karin more like a boss, and respected the voice inside their heads.

After using their powers, they drawn that symbol in every section of the city, and they felt the power inside them increase when they got near to it.

"this way, this section will be a nexus for my power to reach you, it's like a phone connection: it needs antennas sometimes to reach you, so you better put antennas everywhere: Then more you put in one place, then better and farther you get the signal, in this case the power" that's what he said.

That day, News talked about strange symbols appearing all over Academic City, and everyone was arguing what they were supposed to mean.

Judgment declared that it was a prank of a students' gang or something like that.

Magicians, on the other hand, felt a great power inside it, but they couldn't understand the symbol or the mathematical magic inside it.

Espers just didn't know.

The science faction was arguing about "strange fields felt near those symbols, better not to interfere with them"

Three Diagram woke up again "Oh, It seems like he already began his work, that's a real shame, we are late of 0.00139283 seconds"

Accelerator asked him what was he talking about

The path shall go on as always, and our precious ally, the Boy, didn't die in that attack, because he is powerful enough to stay inside one symbol, like this and he showed to Accelerator those symbols all over the city Listen, Three Diagram, seems like you knew this boy all the way, how did you know him? Tell me about it

And he said Well that's a long story, actually not that long, but kind of

Accelerator felt like Three Diagram was developing a light sense of humor.
