Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

Chapter 788: Silver

“You know what your powers are?” Saphandra asked.      

Ori nodded. After all, whenever someone bonded with something, they always learned the skills they acquired from the other beast or spirit.     

Only the slime was a unique case as not many would have so many beasts’ skills to keep track of.     

“It has to do with… metals,” she said. “I can attract and repel metals and some variation on that power. I… I think it’s called Magnetic powers.”     

“Oh, you became a magnet? Haha,” Saphandra laughed. “Anything you think you can do? Also, do a very weak version of whatever you are thinking okay? You don’t want to hurt people.”     

Ori nodded. She closed her eyes to use her skills and as she did, she felt the faint existence of things around her.     

There was something quite bright in her feelings that she tried to pull on.     

“Hmm?” the little princess looked down. “Aaah!” Her cries immediately surprised and made everyone turn towards her.     

A bright yellow light was around her, making anything impossible to enter it, even skills.      

Ori had accidentally pulled on the metal clips that kept together the heat suit that the princess was wearing, and as a result, inadvertently activated the defensive abilities of the necklace she had received from Ning.     

“What’s that?” someone asked.     

“A barrier?” Saphandra was surprised. “How?”      

“I think it’s from this necklace my teacher gave me,” the little princess said, but did not take it off.     

“Of course he did,” Saphandra sighed and turned around towards Ori. “Don’t use your skills on the little princess. You can’t do anything to her.”     

“Oh, sorry,” Ori apologized and tried it again. This time, she destroyed her own suit, which she wasn’t sure if would make Ning angry.     

“Don’t worry, he won’t get mad. What else?” Saphandra asked.     

While Ning and the slime finished getting rid of the beasts, whether it was by killing them or the slime simply taming them, Ori and the rest figured out her powers.     

By the time Ning and the slime returned, they were almost assured that they knew all of Ori’s powers.     

“Magnetism huh?” Ning thought to himself.     𝑂𝒱𝓵𝐞xt.𝗰𝚘𝓂

According to the experiments, Ori was capable of attracting metal on a very small level. If hairs were made up of metal, she could pull on just a single one from nearly 10 meters away.     

Similarly, she could also repel metal in the same way. Depending on the spiritual energy she had, the power could be quite something.     

Aside from that, she was also capable of sensing where all the metals were around her in a certain radius. It apparently got hard to keep track of unless she was searching for them very carefully, but simply having that     

skill alone was amazing for someone like her who could control metal.     

Finally, she could also imbue magnetic capabilities to objects she touched to whatever degree she desired. Meaning that she could make anything she touched a magnet.     

“Nice, not bad,” Ning told her. “I’m surprised you were able to do it before your brother.”     

“Thank you, brother Ning. If you didn’t give me that idea, I wouldn’t have known what to say,” Ori said and bowed his head.     

“That’s fine,” Ning said. “Also, why are all your clothes in tatters? The gel is getting all over the sand.”     

“Ah, that was because of this big sister,” the little princess pointed at Ori without hesitation. “Only I didn’t destroy what your made, teacher.”     

Ning chucked. “Then I must reward little Janice for this. What do you want?” he asked.     

“Want?” the princess’s eyes widened in expectation. “I want the next spirit.”     

“Okay, you will be the first to bond with the next spirit,” Tessa said as she kissed the princess on the cheek rather aggressively.     

“I hope you can think of what to say by then,” Ning said and looked around.     

The sun had gone down and the world was getting dark at this point. If they stayed out there any longer, they would be unable to see anything in the darkness.     

It wouldn’t be a problem for Ning, but for the rest, they couldn’t continue. Besides, they were human that had been walking all day and was most likely very fatigued.     

“Let’s settle for the night here then,” Ning said and pulled out the ship as it softly landed on the sand.      

The arms tried to push the ship upward to open the hanger door, but it sunk into the sand and as such wouldn’t be able to do so without using the thrusters to hover for a bit.     

Ning instead directly took them all in after they got rid of their suit.     

One by one, the men and women, and even the slime went looking for the bathroom so they could both relieve themselves and take a bath.     

Once they were all done, Ning gathered them by the hanger again, where he gave them food and water to drink.     

The two new spirits flew around the room, making bell-like noises all around. From time to time, they flew by Saphandra’s neck, where little blue was hiding this whole time.     

They called little blue out to play with them, but little blue wasn’t intelligent enough to understand what they were trying to say to her. Everything felt alien.     

“Who are you?” the slime said.     

“What?” Ning looked at the slime.     

“That spirit, it’s asking who are you to the other spirits,” he said.      

“How do you know that?” Ning was surprised.     

“I can listen to othe    

rs’ minds now,” the slime said. “Or I can understand spirit languages. It’s one of those two.”     

Ning was confused.     

“Oh right! She’s asking for Ori’s spirit’s name? Don’t we need to find a name for it?” Tessa said.     

“Right, Ori. Do you have any idea?” Trevain asked.     

  “I’ve been thinking, and… because I can now control metals, I wanted to name him with a name of a metal,” she said.     

“Metal huh? Are there any good metal names that would suit a spirit?” Tessa asked.     

“Well, he’s kind of white more than anything,” Ori said. “So, I have been thinking of naming him, Silver.
