He could have just had an idle thought like "Man, I wouldn't be in this much of a problem if I had a power like that" then he was able to use it.
You know that dosen't work with the earlyer therory right.
Thinking "wouldn't be in this much of a problem if I had a power like that" is not the same.
As a conscious effort by the MC to steal a power... infact it proves more my point than yours.
If he needs to think about stealing it when he touches someone.
Then How did he get the first power he stole???.
It might of been easy just to say it first works:
A, Only if the MC do's the touching
B, The MC also need to conscious not want to take a power.
We would be closer but even thats not fool proof explantation.
Also just got to meeting Blitz in the Gym mocking Beth.
And I have to say the MC just drop through the floor in my estimation after that scene.
Ok if MC walked in at the end that fine or if the MC had no idea who Beth but even that wouldn't make sense.
He had the option to take on Rex for bullying Nicolas and he didn't even know Nicolas.
He knew she was being bullied and humiliated but stood there.
As if hopeing she can stand up for herself and prove them wrong... yet knowing she would morelikly fail.
ern just remind me MC's a superhero in the making right because what friend do's that let alone a wonna be hero?.
After that I wouldn't even say he's good at being a friend let alone a hero.
Don't get me wrong I understand the idea to show her being bullied but.
MC could of figgered that out she was dieng bullied if he walked near the end.
Which would of made more sense that someone with a wish to be a hero Just stading idly by.
While a friend and possible LI is made fun of bullied and humiliated.
Especialy since now the MC's not supossed to be scared of Blitz and co or anyone else including the Titanium Dragons.
Atleast not at the start of any confruntation he's not so just standing there the whole time and watching it happen WTF .
A. Not a good look or attitued for a wonna be hero.
B. Not even a good look if you supossed to be friend.
Not to mention doesn't really match his earlyer actions for him to stand there and not intervene.
And no sorry the talk after do's nothing to make it look better or make more sese.
Game's still good english needs proffreading as it not a natual langue for the dev.
The normal to many He's that are actually a she... and to many she's that are clearly he's like the MC.
Just sayin
