Second Section Ability Theory

Hoshimiya-sensei's gaze swept across the classroom, her voice calm yet powerful. "Alright, students, please return to your seats. We'll begin the second lesson of Ability Theory."

Hearing Hoshimiya-sensei's words, the students stopped their discussions and quickly returned to their seats. They knew that Hoshimiya-sensei's classes were always full of knowledge and surprises, and no one wanted to miss a single detail.

Itozawa, Ichinose, Shibata, and Kanzaki also returned to their seats. Although a slight unease lingered in their hearts, they understood that the most important thing now was to focus on learning and improving their knowledge of abilities.

Hoshimiya-sensei stood at the front of the class, her gaze gentle yet firm. "In the last lesson, we discussed the classification of abilities and Mind-Type Abilities. Today, we will briefly explain Body-Type Abilities."

"Body-Type Abilities are the most widespread category of abilities among people," Hoshimiya-sensei explained, her gaze suddenly falling on Shibata. "For example, our classmate Shibata possesses a typical Body-Type Ability."

As she spoke, Ichinose diligently took notes.

Shibata, hearing himself called out, couldn't help but sit up straighter. He remembered how Hoshimiya-sensei had teased him for being impatient last class. This time, he was quiet, wishing he could bury his head in his desk.

But to his surprise, Hoshimiya-sensei wasn't letting him off the hook, and his expression turned somewhat awkward.

Her gaze remained fixed on Shibata. "Shibata," she called out softly, a hint of anticipation in her voice, "please demonstrate your Dynamic Balance Ability for everyone."

Shibata heard his name and hesitated for a moment before standing up from his seat and walking with firm steps towards the center of the classroom.

A hint of nervousness flickered in his eyes, but it was overshadowed by the excitement of showcasing his ability.

Hoshimiya-sensei smiled, her eyes gentle, as if silently encouraging him.

"Dynamic Balance is an ability that allows the user to maintain body stability in various dynamic environments," Hoshimiya-sensei explained, guiding Shibata towards a balance ball.

Everyone then noticed that Hoshimiya-sensei had brought props.

This large rubber ball, with its smooth surface, required extreme balancing skills to remain stable upon it.

Shibata took a deep breath, his eyes focused. He slightly crouched his body and then leaped lightly onto the balance ball.

His feet landed steadily on the surface, his body rising and falling slightly with the ball's elasticity. He began to slowly adjust his center of gravity, extending his arms to maintain balance.

Hoshimiya-sensei stood to the side, her eyes closely following Shibata's movements, ready to offer guidance at any moment.

"See how he's adjusting his center of gravity? This is the key to Dynamic Balance."

Hoshimiya-sensei spoke while mimicking Shibata's movements, her gestures elegant, as if she were on the ball herself. She explained, "When moving, whether running or jumping, one needs to constantly adjust their posture to adapt to different ground conditions."

Shibata's movements on the balance ball became increasingly fluid. He began to attempt more complex maneuvers, such as standing on one foot and even lightly jumping on the ball. With every move, he was completely focused, striving to maintain his body's stability.

Hoshimiya-sensei continued to explain, "The most basic way to strengthen this ability is through extensive training in body coordination and reaction speed, such as practicing on unstable surfaces."

As Shibata demonstrated, the students' attention was captivated. They witnessed the practical application of Dynamic Balance Ability and felt its charm. A confident smile gradually appeared on Shibata's face, his movements becoming bolder. He even completed a perfect 360-degree spin on the balance ball.

Hoshimiya-sensei watched Shibata's performance, a satisfied gleam in her eyes. She knew that through such practical demonstrations, the students would gain a deeper understanding of Dynamic Balance Ability. She clapped gently, expressing her praise for Shibata and encouraging other students to participate actively and bravely showcase their abilities.

Next, Hoshimiya-sensei turned to Ando, her gaze shifting towards Ando, her voice gentle and encouraging. "Ando, it's your turn now. Please demonstrate your mastery of Body Control Ability."

Ando, a slender girl with a calm demeanor, rose from her seat. A look of concentration appeared in her eyes, and she walked with light, confident steps towards the center of the classroom.

Her long hair swayed gently with her movements, exuding an air of composure.

"Body Control Ability allows the user to precisely manipulate their body movements, even surpassing normal physiological limits."

Hoshimiya-sensei spoke while guiding Ando to a spacious open area. There were no obstacles, making it the perfect place to demonstrate Body Control Ability.

Ando stood in the center of the open space. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and concentrated. When she opened her eyes again, their gaze was more determined. She began a series of high-difficulty movements.

First, Ando demonstrated a one-handed handstand. Her movements were fluid and stable, as if gravity had minimal influence on her.

The muscles in her arms were clearly defined, showcasing her precise control over her body's strength.

Hoshimiya-sensei stood by, her eyes closely following Ando's movements while explaining to the students, "See how Ando maintains this difficult pose by controlling her muscles."

Next, Ando transitioned into a series of complex gymnastics moves, including aerial spins and graceful landings. Her body's muscles were mobilized with each movement, every action precise, demonstrating her control over every minute movement of her body.

Finally, she concluded her routine, her muscles perfectly settling, restoring her to her well-proportioned figure.

Hoshimiya-sensei continued to explain, "To strengthen this ability, Ando needs to improve through repeated practice and by challenging more difficult moves."

Ando's movements became increasingly complex. Her body seemed to transform into a flexible machine, with every joint and every muscle moving precisely according to her will.

She even completed a difficult backflip without any support, landing as lightly as a cat.

Hoshimiya-sensei continued to explain, "Unlike Dynamic Balance, Ando did not achieve balance by controlling her center of gravity for the same movements. Instead, she used her body control to distribute her strength according to the movement, thus completing the same action. And for Ando to advance further, she would need to learn from Shibata and control her balance."

Looking at the smug Shibata, she added, "Of course, the same applies to you, Shibata. I didn't have you immediately consult Ando because you haven't fully trained your balance yet. If Ando's foundation in understanding balance wasn't so poor, I wouldn't even suggest she learn from you."

As she finished speaking, Shibata's smug smile immediately turned dejected, while Ando couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.

Hoshimiya-sensei's explanations in class were detailed and vivid. She not only explained the theoretical basis of abilities but also allowed students to better understand their applications through practical examples. Her teaching methods actively engaged the students, and everyone was thinking about how to improve their own abilities.

Under Hoshimiya-sensei's guidance, this class not only provided students with a comprehensive understanding of Body-Type Abilities but also sparked their interest in exploring abilities.

Although Shibata appeared somewhat embarrassed at first, as the class progressed, he gradually became immersed in learning about abilities and began to seriously consider how to utilize his own.
