Receptionist:
"Hello, how can I help you?"
Heroine:
"Um, I think... I might be a superhuman..."
Receptionist:
"Excuse me...? Oh, I see. Please come this way."
Superhuman abilities manifest under two conditions.
First, after coming of age (18 years old), as determined by the primordial standards.
Second, after meeting a deity.
Heroine (thinking):
"I'm probably the first case."
Despite not being particularly interested in the subject of special history, one phrase from the teacher stuck with her.
Teacher (memory):
"If your ability manifests, it’s legally mandatory to voluntarily report it."
Feeling like a criminal turning themselves in, the heroine was embarrassed and nervous to admit that she was a superhuman at the police station.
However, it was better than being chased as a potential special criminal for not reporting herself.
After hastily returning the frozen water to its original state, the heroine went home and told her family.
They couldn’t believe it at first. After all, they never imagined such a situation would happen to them.
When she left the house under the pretense of reporting, she felt overwhelmed.
Superhumans live in a space that is somewhat separated from reality, which means she might not see her family and friends as often as before.
Receptionist:
"I’ve submitted your information. Please fill out this form and wait at home for further contact."
Heroine:
"Ah... yes. Thank you."
She glanced at the form and saw a section that caught her eye:
"Your Ability"
Heroine (thinking):
"It’s probably water."
Heroine:
"Goodbye."
Not knowing where to begin, the heroine walked back home absentmindedly.
She showed the form she received at the police station to her family.
It contained procedures for what would happen next and guidelines on what to be cautious about as a superhuman.
Her family read through it with a calm demeanor, but just as her parents were about to speak, the phone rang.
On the phone, a person who introduced himself as the principal of Capacity, a school for superhumans, said he would pick her up at 9 a.m. the next morning and advised her to prepare in advance.
The heroine and her family spent the entire night talking.
With swollen eyes, she packed her belongings, and soon it was almost 9 a.m.
A knock sounded at the door.
Man:
"I’m from Capacity."
A man entered the house with a gentle smile after being greeted.
Namjoon:
"Hello, I’m Kim Namjoon, a student representative from Capacity.
You must be the new water-attribute superhuman.
I understand that your daughter’s sudden situation may feel overwhelming... but..."
The heroine couldn’t focus on his words.
She was too busy trying to hold back her tears and thinking about how to leave with a calm demeanor.
Namjoon:
"Your daughter’s safety will be fully guaranteed at Capacity.
She will receive all the benefits available, and you will have opportunities to visit multiple times a month.
Once she is officially enrolled, we will contact you."
He spoke sincerely and with remarkable eloquence, easing the family’s worries.
When he reached out his hand to her, she smiled bravely and turned back to her family.
Heroine:
"I’ll be fine! You guys take care too. Once I settle in, I’ll see you again!"
Grasping his hand, he gently led her out.
Once the door closed, he looked at her thoughtfully.
Namjoon:
"It’s quite unusual..."
Heroine:
"Sorry...?"
Namjoon:
"...Nothing. Just hold my hand tightly.
If I lose you halfway, it’ll become complicated."
Taking his words to heart, the heroine squeezed his hand.
The next moment, the scenery around her flashed by at a speed too fast to follow, leaving her dizzy.
