Takeoff!

By the time Edward returned home, the rain had already stopped. His gaze drifted toward the house next door.

Victor was playing fetch with his lively dog, Sparky, in the small yard. Sparky ran around happily, letting out soft whines and barking excitedly from time to time.

Edward looked at Victor and said, "Victor, there's been a very dangerous clown around here lately. It specializes in snatching children. If you see anything strange, get home right away, understand?"

Victor stopped what he was doing and looked up at Edward with bright eyes. He obediently replied, "I understand, Brother Edward." Then he tossed the ball again, and Sparky immediately shot off like an arrow, grabbed it in his mouth, and happily ran back.

Edward watched them for a few more moments before turning and walking into his house.

"Edward, you're back!" The moment Carrie saw him enter, her eyes lit up as she eagerly called out to him.

Edward quickly walked over to Carrie, his face full of concern. "Carrie, how are you feeling? You're all right now, aren't you?"

Carrie gave him a sweet smile, her face carrying a hint of pride. "Lily said I only fainted last time because I pushed myself too hard all at once and exhausted my strength.

You know what? I practiced at home all day yesterday. Now I can make a cup float!"

"Really? Carrie, you've improved so fast!" Edward praised her in surprise.

Hearing that, Carrie lowered her head shyly like a child being praised, a faint blush appearing on her cheeks.

After talking with Carrie, Edward went to find Lily. When he found Lily in her room, he lowered his voice and said, "Jisi, there's something I need to tell you. A clown has been targeting me lately. If anything unusual happens, you must protect them and notify me immediately."

Malkis frowned slightly upon hearing this and asked in confusion, "Hm? Master, what powerful thing have you provoked?"

Edward slowly explained, "It's a clown that grows stronger by absorbing fear. It's somewhat similar to you, but far stranger. There's something indescribably sinister about it."

Malkis's expression turned solemn as she respectfully replied, "Understood, Master. I know what to do. I'll keep a closer watch."

Edward decided to find somewhere deserted and properly test just how strong his newly acquired EX Telekinesis was.

He entered his bedroom, quickly changed into a set of clothes suitable for movement, and headed for the door.

Before leaving, Edward paused, then turned back to look at Carrie. His eyes were full of concern as he instructed her, "Training your ability is like training muscles. The key is controlling precisely where you exert force.

The essence of Telekinesis is using consciousness to precisely influence matter. At the beginning, don't rush. Slow down, proceed steadily, and first establish a closed loop of 'thought—feedback—adjustment.'

Only by building a solid foundation early on can you truly wield Telekinesis freely later."

He paused slightly, looking at Carrie with sincere, steady eyes. "Remember, the true measure of strength isn't the amount of power you possess, but whether you can control it as you wish—whether you can make it stop whenever you want it to stop."

Carrie looked up at Edward, understanding and intelligence shining in her eyes. She nodded obediently and softly said, "I understand, Edward."

Her expression made it seem as though she had firmly etched every word Edward said into her heart.

Edward went into the woods outside town. The forest was peaceful during the day, but in Edward's eyes, it now looked like an isolated training ground cut off from the world.

Edward found a relatively open area, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began concentrating, trying to draw upon the mysterious EX Telekinesis within him.

Not far away, a thick tree was the first to react. Its branches and leaves began rustling, as though lashed by an invisible gale.

Then, the roots of the tree slowly loosened. Accompanied by a dull series of cracking sounds, the entire tree was uprooted and floated into the air.

Edward looked at the hovering tree before him. With a gentle wave of his hands, it moved back and forth through the forest like a chess piece under his control.

Its outstretched branches scraped against other trees, producing a series of crackling sounds and startling a flock of birds into flight.

After successfully controlling the tree, Edward shifted his attention to several enormous boulders nearby.

These boulders were normally immovable, yet under Edward's Telekinesis, they seemed as light as toys. With a thought, they rose from the ground and arranged themselves into all sorts of strange shapes in midair.

None of this seemed difficult for Edward, and he freely displayed his newly acquired power.

As his fists slowly clenched, the floating tree and boulders seemed to come under immense pressure. Cracks began to spread across them, followed by a continuous series of sharp cracks. The boulders instantly shattered into countless fragments that scattered across the ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

Edward focused, spreading his Telekinesis over his body like a fine net. Then he slowly exerted force, pushing downward in reverse.

The dirt and gravel around him seemed to be pulled by invisible threads, leisurely rising into the air. He bent his knees slightly, then abruptly lifted his head, and his entire body slowly rose toward the sky.

At first, his movements were extremely clumsy and slow, like a babbling infant taking its first steps. He swayed unsteadily in the air.

However, Edward did not lose heart. He continued trying, gradually finding the knack for controlling flight through repeated experimentation. He took a deep breath and kicked off fiercely with both legs. In an instant, his body shot forward like an arrow released from its bow.

But because he had used too much force, his speed abruptly increased. He instantly lost control of his direction and flew straight toward a small hill nearby.

At that critical moment, Edward was horrified. In a panic, he desperately swung his arms, trying to change his flight path.

Fortunately, at the very last moment before hitting the hill, he successfully adjusted. His body streaked past the mountainside, sending up a huge cloud of dust.

After that, he continuously adjusted his posture in the air. Sometimes he climbed like an eagle, sometimes he descended slowly like a falling leaf, and sometimes he turned lightly like a nimble swallow.

Several times, because he failed to precisely control his strength, he nearly plunged headfirst into the ground.

But with stubborn determination and his persistence and love for flight, he took off again and again, continuing to explore the mysteries of flying through the sky.

As time passed second by second, Edward became increasingly proficient at controlling his flight.

He threw back his head and laughed excitedly. "Wuhu!"

He flipped and circled freely through the sky, fully enjoying the wondrous sensation of the fierce wind whistling past his ears and the ground rapidly retreating beneath his feet.

He flew higher and higher. Looking down into the distance, the vast land stretched out beneath him—rolling mountains, winding rivers, and lush forests. Edward straightened his body and watched as the beautiful scenery unfolded below him like a painting.

On a whim, Edward struck Superman's classic pose in midair and shouted, "I don't eat beef!"

Just then, an airplane flew past nearby. Inside the cabin, Alex excitedly slapped Claire beside him and shouted, "Claire, Claire, look! Someone's actually flying in the sky!"

Claire looked helpless, thinking Alex was talking nonsense again. She chided him, "You're dreaming again, aren't you, Alex? How could anyone possibly fly in the sky? Get some more rest. Once we reach Paris, we can have a good look around."
