Start with absorbing talents

The day of the exam had finally arrived. Punnu woke up early, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. He knew that this exam was crucial for his future, and he was determined to give it his best effort. After a quick breakfast and a final review of his notes, Punnu set off for the examination center with the flying cat discreetly following him.

As Punnu approached the gate of the examination center, he noticed a commotion. A group of four boys was surrounding a smaller boy, taunting and pushing him around. The smaller boy looked terrified, and Punnu could see the fear in his eyes.

Punnu's sense of justice flared up. He couldn't stand by and watch someone get bullied. He walked over to the group, his determination evident in his stride. "Why are you bullying him?" Punnu demanded, his voice firm and resolute.

The four boys turned to face Punnu, their expressions shifting from amusement to annoyance. The leader of the group, a tall boy with a smug grin, stepped forward. "Who are you to tell us what to do?" he sneered. "Mind your own business."

Punnu stood his ground. "It's everyone's business to stand up against bullying. Leave him alone," he said, his voice unwavering.

The leader's grin turned into a scowl. "You think you're tough, huh? Let's see how tough you really are," he said, signaling to his friends. The four boys closed in on Punnu, ready for a fight.

As the confrontation began, Punnu noticed something unusual about the boys. Each one seemed to exhibit strange and unnatural abilities. The first boy's skin started to glow with an eerie light, while the second boy's hands crackled with electricity. The third boy's eyes glowed red, and the fourth boy's muscles bulged with unnatural strength.

Punnu realized that these boys had powers, just like him. He understood that he would need to use multiple abilities to win this fight. He took a defensive stance, ready to protect himself and the smaller boy.

The first boy lunged at Punnu, his glowing fists aiming for Punnu's face. Punnu used his rapid movement to dodge the attack, moving with fluid grace. He sidestepped and delivered a quick strike to the boy's side, his fist connecting with a satisfying thud. The boy staggered back, clutching his ribs in pain, his glowing skin flickering.

The second boy, seeing his friend in pain, unleashed a burst of electricity at Punnu. The air crackled with energy as the electric bolts surged towards him. Punnu instinctively activated his barrier creation ability, forming a shimmering shield in front of him. The electric bolts struck the barrier and dispersed, the force still sending him back a few steps. He quickly regained his footing, the barrier fading away, and prepared for the next attack.

The third boy, with his glowing red eyes, seemed to have enhanced perception. He moved with incredible speed, charging at Punnu with a flurry of punches. Punnu used his enhanced senses to anticipate the boy's movements, his body reacting almost before his mind could process. He ducked under a punch and delivered a precise kick to the boy's leg, aiming for a pressure point. The boy's leg buckled, and he stumbled, his red eyes widening in surprise.

The fourth boy, with his unnatural strength, tried to grapple Punnu. His muscles bulged as he reached out, his hands like iron clamps. Punnu activated his hardened exoskeleton, his skin hardening to protect himself from the boy's powerful grip. The boy's hands clamped down on Punnu's shoulders, but instead of causing pain, the hardened exoskeleton absorbed the pressure. With a quick movement, Punnu used his wind blade ability to create a sharp gust of wind. The gust struck the boy, forcing him to release Punnu and stagger back.

The four boys regrouped, their anger and frustration evident. Punnu knew he had to end the fight quickly before anyone got seriously hurt. Drawing on all his training and abilities, he launched a coordinated series of attacks.

He used earth manipulation to create barriers and obstacles, the ground rising and shifting under his command. Walls of earth sprang up between him and the boys, forcing them to navigate the shifting terrain. He then used water manipulation to create streams and waves, the water flowing with precise control. The streams knocked the boys off balance, the water's force pushing them back.

With his rapid movement, Punnu darted between the boys, his movements a blur. He delivered precise and powerful strikes, his fists and feet finding their marks with unerring accuracy. The boys, overwhelmed by Punnu's abilities and strategy, began to falter. One by one, they fell to the ground, defeated and exhausted.

As Punnu demonstrated his diverse abilities, a crowd of students gathered around, watching in awe. It was unheard of for someone to possess multiple super gene abilities. The onlookers were stunned by Punnu's prowess and versatility.

Punnu stood tall, his resolve unshaken. He turned to the smaller boy, who looked at him with gratitude and admiration.

"Thank you," the smaller boy said, his voice trembling. "I didn't know what to do."

Punnu gave him a reassuring smile. "You're safe now. Don't let anyone bully you. Stand up for yourself and seek help when you need it."

As the smaller boy walked away, Punnu took a moment to catch his breath. The flying cat, which had been watching from a distance, flew over to him and nuzzled his leg, offering comfort.

Suddenly, Punnu noticed the crowd that had gathered. He realized that everyone had seen him use multiple abilities, something that was extremely rare and unusual. Fear gripped his heart. What if they knew his secret? What if they saw him as a threat and wanted to eliminate him?

Without wasting any more time, Punnu decided to leave the scene. He turned and quickly made his way out of the examination center. His heart pounded in his chest as he navigated through the crowd, trying to avoid any further attention. The flying cat followed him closely, ready to assist if needed.

Punnu didn't stop until he was far away from the examination center. He found a secluded spot where he could catch his breath and gather his thoughts. He couldn't believe how close he had come to revealing his secret. The fear of being discovered and hunted down weighed heavily on his mind.

With the confrontation over, Punnu knew that he had to be even more cautious in the future. He couldn't afford to let his abilities be exposed again. He had to protect himself and ensure that he remained safe.
