Training
After I'm done talking to Kingu, Meishu comes back."How did it go?" He askes as we walk back through the room, leaving Kingu in his... office I guess.
"Okay, I guess, why?"
"Did he use any magic on you?" He asks with a sideways glance at the guards.
"Umm, I don't know, he did say something about the Majishan being right about me though...?" I say warily, he seems worried.
"That just means that he read your power," he says. "Did he say anything else?"
"He talked about me learning how to control my powers and that I'm able to do something that most Majishans can't."
He turns and looks at me, seemingly worried. "What?" he says. "What did he say that you can do that most Majishans can't?"
"Something about... walling of my powers without knowing that I had them? What does that even mean, Meishu?" I ask.
He sighs, "It means that you made it so that you can't use your powers unless you really want to, and you didn't even know that you had them."
"Oh, that's not so bad, huh?" I say, relieved.
"It means that you're really powerful," says the guard. I look at him, surprised. "You really should get her to the training room, Meishu," says the guard to Meishu. The weird thing is that he won't stop looking at me.
"Who are you to tell me what to do, Gādo? Mind your place," says Meishu.
"Wait why are we going to the training room? And what is Gādo?" I say, confused.
"We are going to the training room so you can learn to use your powers, didn't Kingu tell you that? And a Gādo is a just a guard," he says with a laugh. "What did you think I was taking you to the training room for?"
I look down. "I don't know, to fight?"

We get to the training room after a while. Meishu has me sit in the middle of the room, surrounded by punching bags hanging from the ceiling.
"What am I supposed to do again?" I say for the millionth time.
"Just look at a bag and push it with your mind," he says patiently. "It's okay, just keep trying."
I keep looking at the bag in front of me until I close my eyes.
"Are you okay? Do you need a break?" Says Meishu.
"Shh, I'm focusing," I say, and just then I feel it. A tickle at the back of my mind. "Get out of my head, Meishu," I say irritated.
"I'm not, why do you feel something?"
"No, I just said that for no reason," I say sarcastically.
"What does it feel like?" He says, ignoring my rudeness.
"The same way it felt when you knocked me out, just without the pain."
"That isn't someone in your head, that's your power, now push the bag, okay?"
I feel like an idiot, but I do it and hear a loud thump. I open my eyes and all the punching bags are flown across the room, split with sand spilling everywhere. I look at Meishu and he's just frozen still.
"Did I hurt you?" I say, scared.
He shakes his head, "No, I wasn't ready for that though." He looks around at what I have done and I feel like I've done something wrong.
"I'm sorry," I say, scared of the consequences of destroying all this.
"Don't be, you're just more powerful than we thought."
"Am I in trouble?" I say.
"What?" He looks at me confused. "No of course no, this is training, you'll get better at controlling your powers soon."
