Kaiser calmly and slowly closes his eyes while standing upright. As he closes his eyes and darkness spreads covering his vision he calms down his breaths.

As he reaches the situation as before, his sense of hearing starts to disturb him again, making it hard for him to succeed. As that happens, he- 'concentrate hear your heart beats.'

As he tries, he fails- ' calm down and concentrate.'

He fails again- ' Just calm down.'

As he was near to fail again, he heard-"ba-dump"

As that happened, he couldn't help but smile and think -' yes, just like that!'

Then again, he tries and fails again-' No problem. Try again.'

He starts the trials nonstop, trying each time again and again; sometimes succeeds and sometimes fails. As he keeps doing so, hours pass, night ends and the day is nearing to start.

"huff" "huff" "huff" "huff" huff" He tries to catch his breath, tired from multiple nonstop trials, but as he gets tired, the excitement of success nearing with each successful try motivates him to do more and more.

"Okay, now, I am very near, just a little bit more."

As he says so, he stands upright again, closing his eyes and calming his breath as before.

As the darkness covers his vision and he concentrates again-"ba-dump" "ba-dump" "ba-dump" with the third beat, a single point shines golden in the darkness of his vision.

'Just a little more!' "ba-dump" with the fourth beat, the shining golden point becomes large.

"ba-dump" with the fifth beat, the golden light completely covers the darkness with a golden sudden flash, Kaiser opens his eyes.

The dark aura burning like flames over his body, covering it neither thinly nor thickly, still releasing a vast amount of energy out of his body, comes to his sight.

"creak" As the voice of the door of my bedroom reaches me, I realise that-"Can you explain it? Kaiser?" Mom was watching me while I don't know from when. I mistakenly grinned. Mom said, "I asked to explain, not to smile."

"So, you want to become strong?"

"Yeah, Mom."

"So, you want to become a skeptiliar too?"

"Well, yeah." As I answered her last question, Mom went silent.

After a few moments, Father says in teasing tone-"Hey, hey honey what happened? Remember I said our son wants to become a skeptiliar?" 

As dad says, mother's stare reaches him, sending shivers down his body.

"Hey, honey, I was just joking, hahahahaha"

"Stop laughing." Mother says with a stare still at father.

"Okay"

With the last reply, Dad went into complete silence.

After a few moments, finally the silence was broken by mother-"Sigh, well then if you really want to become a skeptiliar you can."

Her answer leads to a smile on my face.

Dad smiles too after hearing Mom's answer.

Finally, at night, I was on my bed gazing at the stars out of my window like usual. I fell asleep unknowingly when I fell asleep.
