The two young men felt their ears burn with embarrassment at the comment, the playful reprimand making them squirm in their seats.
The two young men were undeniably getting carried away, their exhilaration from using their awakened abilities still fresh in their minds.
Their Gifts and Talents, both based on group synergy, had a noticeable impact on everyone around them.
The warriors fighting alongside Clyde and Reeve felt a sudden surge of energy.
They moved faster, hit harder, and their bodies seemed to become more resilient.
It was as if they had received an invisible buff, making them feel stronger with every passing moment.
The more people that were near Clyde and Reeve, the more powerful they became.
This was precisely why Kisha had urged Duke to bring both of them along, despite the fact that they had just awakened and hadn’t fully mastered their abilities yet.
While they might still fumble with their powers or be less efficient than the more experienced members, their group synergy made them invaluable.
Even if their individual skills weren’t fully honed, the boost they provided to the team was already more than enough to make a difference.
Now that Duke understood why Kisha had been so adamant about bringing Clyde and Reeve along, he could finally relax in his seat as the two young men practiced.
However, being newly awakened, they still lacked full control over their abilities.
As a result, they were experimenting with their powers indiscriminately—Reeve testing his sonic boom, and Clyde using his gravity manipulation—while being careful not to face their comrades, mindful of the risk of a friendly fire incident.
Clyde, in particular, struggled to control the strength and radius of his gravity manipulation.
It was clear that he was still learning the limits of his power.
Every attack seemed to draw on his spiritual energy with such intensity that it felt as though his gravity manipulation was set to its highest possible level.
The sheer force of his abilities could easily flatten anyone caught in the blast, and the warriors around him instinctively gave him plenty of space.
Despite the chaos of their raw power, there was a certain admiration in the air as they watched the two young men hone their extraordinary abilities.
After several attempts, Clyde gradually gained more control over his gravity manipulation.
He discovered that he could now adjust the intensity of his attacks, choosing how much gravitational force to apply.
With a powerful strike, he could crush zombies with the force of a giant, leaving a crater in the ground, or he could reduce the strength to the point where he only shattered their bones without killing them.
As he continued practicing, Clyde began to gain more precision over the radius of his attacks.
In time, he would be able to target individual enemies even in the midst of a crowd, selectively applying his power to hurt only those he intended to.
Though these improvements would happen in the future, but for now, Clyde was already making impressive progress, and he could feel his confidence growing with each successful attempt.
But right now, Clyde was still struggling to fully control his abilities, and his lack of precision caused everyone in the truck to instinctively huddle together in one corner for safety.
The sudden, loud ’clank’ of metal echoed through the truck, and when they looked up, they saw the side of the vehicle dented, a visible reminder of the raw power Clyde was still struggling to harness.
The tense silence that followed was broken only by the faint hum of the engine, as everyone exchanged nervous glances, hoping the young man could rein in his abilities before they were all caught in the line of fire.
The two young men, both of the same age and having been in the same group for a while, had grown close over time. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
