A Worldline of Another Possibility (22)

"Elan's psychic ability could observe many moments from a person's past and write them out through Thought Writing."

"As for my ability, Retrospective Vision, derived from Precognitive Vision, required seeing whether a place held a powerful convergence of emotions. It couldn't be activated reliably every time... Elan happened to make up for that weakness."

Ian pondered inwardly, If Elan and I observe the same person at once, I can see the direction of their future, while Elan can learn information from their past... This is a seamless partnership!

"Big Brother!"

At that moment, Elan, who had noisily gulped down half a bottle of honey water, looked at Ian expectantly. "Is my psychic ability any good?!"

Seeing the little stars practically sparkling in the other's eyes, Ian could not help but smile and encourage him. "It's extremely good! It even has direct offensive power. In terms of attack strength, it's stronger than my psychic ability!"

That was the plain truth, not empty praise for Elan. The greater the power, the more highly they would value Elan's psychic ability, because great powers would certainly possess information on many important people. With their assistance, Elan could easily obtain information on anyone he wished to know about, then derive even more information from it. He was practically an information amplifier that created something from nothing.

Moreover, because it was not a prophet's psychic ability, Elan could even obtain some information about him, this "prophet"... After all, the future was uncertain while the past was set in stone. Peering into past events was actually simpler than peering into the future, with far fewer restrictions.

Aside from prophet psychic abilities, this was among the strongest kinds of information-gathering psychic abilities.

"Yay!"

Hearing Ian's evaluation, Elan gave a delighted cheer, then somewhat groggily slumped over the table.
