Chapter 136 — Structured Testing Protocol
S.C. 1511 — Early February
Foosha Village — Underground Lab (Isolation Chamber)
Ren sat cross-legged on the polished stone floor, Zemo curled beside him like a silent guard. Rows of objects were lined neatly on a long wooden board — increasing in weight from a feather-light seed to a heavy stone block.
Today's goal:
Measure telekinetic limits precisely.
No drama.
No assumptions.
Just controlled testing.
Ren opened a fresh notebook.
Test Table Setup
Objects arranged from 5 grams → 5 kilograms:
5 g — charcoal sliver
20 g — steel nail
60 g — herb pouch
150 g — wooden spoon
300 g — glass vial
500 g — small clay cup
700 g — metal wrench
1 kg — stone block (small)
2 kg — steel weight
2.5 kg — sandbag
3 kg — thick log piece
3.5 kg — stone slab
4 kg — boat rope coil
5 kg — iron tool rack piece
Ren exhaled slowly.
Zemo's ears perked, as if ready to grade the results.
Test 1 — Light Objects (5–300 g)
Ren started with the charcoal sliver (5 g).
A gentle thought.
It rose instantly — clean, stable, no resistance.
Next— 20 g nail.
Smooth lift.
Then 60 g herb pouch.
Vibration… then steady rise.
150 g spoon — easily done.
300 g glass vial — delicate but manageable; slight trembling before stabilization.
Result:
Perfect control.
No strain.
No sensory overload.
Ren noted:
Objects under 300 g = effortless.
Precision stable.
Zemo nodded approvingly.
Test 2 — Moderate Loads (500 g → 700 g)
500 g clay cup — lifted cleanly.
A little push behind the eyes but nothing uncomfortable.
Then—
700 g wrench.
Ren focused.
Pressure behind his temples increased…
but the wrench rose smoothly and hovered at chest height.
He could rotate it.
Move it sideways.
Hold it steady.
Result:
700 g = maximum "easy" limit.
No danger. Mild strain only.
Ren allowed himself a small breath of satisfaction.
Test 3 — Heavy Load (1 kg)
He placed his hand near it (for focus) but didn't touch.
The 1 kg stone block shivered—
then lifted off the board.
Not quickly…
but controlled.
He could move it across the floor, albeit with effort.
Result:
1 kg = manageable with resistance.
Sustainable for several seconds.
Ren noted the mild pressure behind his eyes.
Test 4 — Major Load (2 kg)
Ren stared at the 2 kg steel weight.
Focus.
The weight trembled…
vibrated…
then—
It lifted.
Barely.
Half a finger high.
Ren's breathing tightened.
A sharp signal of strain flared across the right side of his head.
He lowered it immediately.
Result:
2 kg = extremely difficult.
Only brief lifting possible.
Zemo tilted his head as if saying, "Don't push too far."
Test 5 — Critical Limit (2.5 kg)
Ren braced himself.
The 2.5 kg sandbag didn't lift.
But…
It shifted.
A tiny slide.
Barely an inch.
Ren tried again—
Headache flickered—
He stopped.
Result:
2.5 kg = movement only. No lift.
High strain.
He massaged his temples.
Test 6 — Limit Threshold (3 kg)
Ren attempted the 3 kg log piece.
Nothing lifted.
But the surface trembled meaningfully.
A definite reaction.
Just no elevation.
Result:
3 kg = can only shake object.
Lift impossible.
Test 7 — Upper Limit (3.5 kg → 5 kg)
Ren looked at the heavy 3.5 kg slab.
Focus.
Silence.
Zero movement.
He increased concentration by 10%.
Still nothing.
He moved up to 4 kg rope coil.
No movement.
Finally 5 kg iron bar.
Not even a vibration.
The strain built too quickly.
He stopped.
Result:
3.5 kg and above = zero effect.
Telekinetic ceiling below 3.5 kg.
Final Summary
Ren wrote clean, calm notes:
Telekinesis Capability — Initial Metrics
0–700 g → easy
1 kg → moderate strain
2 kg → severe strain, brief lift
2.5 kg → slight movement only
3 kg → vibration only
≥3.5 kg → no reaction
Recommended Training:
Neural stabilization
Sensory input control
Mental load balancing
Short-duration high-weight practice
Ren closed the notebook gently.
Zemo nudged his shoulder, tail swishing proudly — as if Ren had passed an exam.
Ren exhaled, tired but composed.
A foundation was now set.
Measured.
Defined.
Now he could improve.
