Malik nodded his head to what Aurora had to say as they continued to walk up the stone stairs of one of the south tower. She was right, nobody likes a critic at all anyway. Though, it was just a suggestion he wanted to voice. Solitude is hard to deal with at times. Sometimes it can help you clear your mind and straight your thoughts. However, it can leave an emptiness within one's heart, especially if that someone likes to be around others. Malik himself had been in solitude at times when he just wanted piece and quiet. Though, these moments only lasted so long, before he has a desire to go spend time with someone.
The student and professor had made it to the second floor of the current south tower they resided in. Malik was told to look outside of the tower from a window of some sorts. He gaze out to look at the scenery that behold along with the campus. It was breathtaking, seeing so much land from this height. It was amazing to look at. He practically stare for hours.
"Yes, it certainly is impressive. I never new how wondrous Manta Carlos or the Starlight Academy looked from this height." He said, enjoying the landscape from above. Even though the weather was slightly cold today, the snow from Winter had finally let up. Spring was approaching and it appears that it was okay enough to have fun with friends out in this time of day. Malik hopes if he will get to meet others at his age he could consider friends. The thought of meeting new people made him nervous. He hopes Aurora with be with him to back him up or that he could at least muster the courage to talk to a new face.
Malik heard the professor make a reply on being born with powers isn't that funny. By "funny" he meant a little rare, but he is certain she understood what he meant. She mentioned that few of her home's natives are born with abilities of their own. It appears it is not uncommon to be born special. Truthfully, Malik was gladly he was born with powers. His father told him years ago that the way he use his abilities determines his path. meaning he could be a hero, if he uses these powers for good. Malik's dream was to become a hero, but he did wonder when he will be facing villain's. He had a feeling of uncertainty on whether he was ready or not. He decides to shake off those thoughts and focus on getting to Professor Ishikawa.
"Wow, I didn't know there were others who were born with abilities other than me. Though, I should have considered that possibility." He said, feeling a little naive for not realizing sooner that it is not a rare concept to be born with special abilities. There were other ways to gain power rather than simply being born with them. Accidents, bestowal by supernatural means, empowerment by an other-worldly source, these are but a few ways to gain what is desired. Those who are simply gifted at birth with such powers either misuse them for their own twisted ends and selfish benefits or use them for good and protect others from evil. The gifted either choose to be a villain or a hero, depending on what kind of person on the inside. Malik hardly had evil within him. He has always wanted to be a hero and battle against villains and other evil forces while doing good and protecting the innocent.
Upon asking Aurora about her powers, Malik received a stern look in return. It appeared he had asked too much and might have hit a nerve. He should really watch what he says at certain times. There are subjects of mystery that should stay hidden until the time is right. Unfortunately, Malik's curiosity landed him in a situation where he has gone through the boundaries of privacy.
"My apologize Miss Silivasi, it appears I had poked my nose in an area I no business with in the first place. I'll be sure to respect your space from now own and keep my curiosity in check." He said with a bow of respect, apologizing for invading a certain place the professor prefers not to reveal. With a waving motion, she guided Malik back down the stairs as he followed. He really didn't mean to be nosy, he was just a curious boy. Though, that curiosity of his at time would get himself in funny and awkward situation. That curiosity could also help in his training with his powers. Unbeknownst to the boy, he possess other abilities he wasn't aware of besides his electromagnetism.
