[Huh, a refusal...November accurately comes to the conclusion that it's not an unlimited power. Someone as eager as Kumon would keep using it if there were no drawbacks, he thinks. Hmmmmm...]
I suppose there's no harm in trying.
[He guesses it's time to try it and see what happens]
[November closes his eyes for a moment and focuses. Come up with something, come up with something...
...
You know what he isn't? A terribly creative soul for this sort of thing. A lot of things that come to mind he would like to create are definitely not things this power would be able to create, hah]
Tell me something I should make. Anything you think is good.
[Focus on his color. Crystalline color. Picturing it is easy enough, but is he supposed to imagine the object with that color or--
Suddenly, a baseball mitt does appear in thin air, falling to the floor. Oh. Well that was easy to do! Although it soon is obvious there's absolutely no warmth coming from it. It gives a sense of calmness once picked up but it sure has no warmth like the baseball Kumon made has]
[The praise makes November chuckle. He doesn't think it's weird this kid is praising him like this, but he does see it's an unusual situation for him to be taught something like this in the first place.
He turns it over in his hands, intrigued]
I see why you said you'd try tomorrow. Then again, it shouldn't be surprising making something appear out of nothing is the sort of action that tires you up. Or perhaps it's matter of practice and before long we'll both be making countless objects appear at once without even having to pause!
It'd be super cool if we could level up our powers that way. It kinda sounds like we're just not used to using it yet, but we could get really good at it.
[Don't make November 11 unstoppable, that's not going to be good during a murdergame. He may not be evil but he wouldn't hesitate to take lives if that becomes necessary and 'the rational choice'!]
That seems careless. A lot of people out there wouldn't take kindly to someone with such abilities showing themseles out there like that.
[Well, truthfully if it's from a place other than the Darker than Black it probably will be fine, hah -- but to November that sure looks quite reckless!]
Then I'm glad you can count them as your friends. You're a good kid.
[People generally don't consider Contractors to be human. November doesn't really care if they do or don't, but at least he can appreciate someone out there is this friendly]

Can you make something else? Like a baseball glove?
[Now he wonders about the limitations of such a power!]
no subject
[He doesn't wanna overwork himself and faint or something.]
Do you wanna try making something?

How did you do it?

How about that, it does work.
no subject
[He doesn't think for a second about how weird it is to praise an adult for this. Besides, none of them are used to making stuff like this?
He picks it up and tests it out for a moment before handing it over.]
Yeah. It looks just like a regular one.

I wonder if we'll keep this when we get home, or if it's tied to the prism.
no subject
It probably is tied to this place. Also, wouldn't everyone be alarmed at home if you returned with at least three supernatural powers in your arsenal?

...is that public knowledge?

Kumon, did you have a power before you got here? Don't worry -- I certainly am not going to think any different of you no matter the answer.
