Man, I was looking in the upper chapters for the picture you were talking about :p
And, I don't know if John would have been able to possess the green-haired kid. Not unless that kid or someone in that fight had that ability. That would be pretty cool, though XD.
I normally skip through the extra chapters... What does 'trick' on the ability scale mean?
Well there might be earlier chapters because I don't think that's the only time we saw him. I just couldn't find those pictures. In any case, I don't normally read the extras myself but given the kind of story this is I thought it might give me some insights into the plot. As for what tricks are I'm not too sure but I THINK it has something to do with new skills you develop by manipulating your ability.
I'd rather have a bar graph... I look at the power level in her diamond graph, and I'm, like, O.o huh??!! New chapter tomorrow night!
So a bar graph that uses bars for tricks to emphasize the power level bar?
Yeah, a bar graph for all the power levels.
Yay! I knew it (๑•ㅂ•)و✧. John has the ability to absorb/mimic other people's powers and use them better than the 'casters'. The sad part, though, is...how will he be able to be in that school now that his secret is out? Arlo doesn't seem like a guy who will let his being beaten slide. Then there are the two that John beat the hell up (I hope they are alive). Then there's Sera... She's gonna find out, you know Arlo is gonna tell her somehow.
It makes me wonder if John's dad wrote that 'forbidden' book so that John could feel sympathy for cripples, because he's so powerful and seems to lack human emotions once royally pissed. Plus, if the government is killing those with powerful abilities because they can't control them, or because they are deemed too dangerous because of how powerful they are, does this mean they'll be after John? Could they have been watching him since he got kicked out of his other high school, and this fight be the warning bells they needed to go after him? Or am I projecting my desires, hopes, and dreams that they do go after John so we can all see him go supernova on all the 'bad guys'.
God! I wish I discovered this a year from now so that I didn't have to wait. Like Nobeless. I discovered that manga/manhwa when it already had 300 chapters... I hate waiting (T^T).
