The Gifted (The Gifted Series / นักเรียนพลังกิฟต์)

Making things disappear is my true potential

Did you make Folk disappear?

I can’t even control my own power.

You must bring it back

You need to feel guilty and want Folk to come back

Folk, can you hear me?

I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

You’re one of those Gifted kids

Who’s that Gifted kid?

Every potential has a cause and effect

Namtaan has a power to know stuff about other people

because she is a… curious person.

I touched an object and saw strange images.

It’s a flashback of what the item has been through in the past

Who’s Medfai?

How is it going, Namtaan?

This type of indie music… it must be Korn’s

Next item.

If you’ve read fictions about kids with superpowers,

you’d know that the storylines are not much different

It starts with a kid living in a boring world

until one day everything changes for the better

Being left under the bed for so long that it’s covered in dust…

This must be Ohm’s.

On to the last one.

Give it a try.

This one is yours.

It is a gift given to you on your 15th birthday

You’ve kept it close to you ever since.

I’ve used this pen for 12 years.

Good job, Namtaan.

You’ve made significant progress in developing your potential.

I used to think that it was just an imagination.

Why the numbers are rising so high?

Until the day I had a real superpower.

Are you hiding anything from me?

She’d got so much better over the past few years

Why has she gone back to when she was sick?

What is your Gifted program anyway?

As I have mentioned to you, Namtaan is gifted

She’d also had abnormally high blood pressure since she was young

If not controlled properly, she may have a seizure and become paralyzed

Mom!

If something worse happens, will it be worth it?

There’s nothing to be worried, I can guarantee

I opposed the idea since she was transferred here.

As a kid with a superpower,

I don’t know how high the expectations people have of me are.

But I have quite a high expectation of myself.

Resync by: val_gates

I want to be a doctor.

Not only to cure myself, but I also think that

if I can make it, my mom will be proud.

Can I have an answer that is not the version you give to adults?

I don’t know.

I used to read a novel

The heroine is a detective with a psychic power

It was fun but it’s just a novel.

For a special person, whatever she wants to do, she can do it.

Thank you.

Okay, each potential is caused by a different reason

No matter what it is, the best way to maintain it

is to gain more knowledge through reading.

I have prepared each of you a list of books to read,

based on your potential and passion

Claire, why don’t you tell me about your passion?

You may get a few books to read this week.

I don’t have any particular passion.

I just know that I must be famous.

Luckily, I was born in an era when social media can help me with that

I don’t have to waste time in the library.

Social media makes people narcissists

You can’t make yourself a lead star in a story

if you don’t read enough about it

He may just want to avoid you

Pang! Ohm!

What are you chatting about?

Your friend is speaking. Are you listening?

Let me tell you.

All Gifted students can be anything they want after they graduate

But those who don’t apply themselves may not graduate

Here are your books.

Why do I have to read so much?

Don’t complain. You have only 4 books.

Look at mine. I have 8.

Your ones look much more interesting.

If I read all of mine, I’d be like Einstein

Our potentials are different.

You focus on physics

But I need to read from myths and folklore

to the cosmos, astronomy and history…

Stop right there.

Let me go back to my Theory of Relativity

Look at Pang. He hasn’t discovered his potential yet

but he’s much more attentive than you.

Pang!

Buried deep in your book.

You’re so diligent.

I thought you’re better than this

What?

I was just playing one game

You’re looking at me like I’ve killed someone

You didn’t kill anyone but time

Mr. Pom asked us to use this time to discover your potential,

not to play a game.

I just don’t get why he needed us to read so many books

Not everyone enjoys reading like you do

I know but can’t you just do it for your own future?

How can you be sure that if you do what you’re told,

you will have a bright future?

What reason do you have not to do it?

You’ve made the effort just to prove your point?

To clear any doubts about the future of our seniors who graduated.

Hey, it features our photos, too.

This is the latest version.

Why is there only one student in the first class?

Mr. Pom said that the earliest classes would have only 1-2 students.

The number has increased to 10 over the last couple of years

Don’t get dragged into this.

The student from the first year won a gold medal

from the Chemistry Olympiad competition.

She’s come up with a technique to kill cancer cells

and been awarded by the UNESCO.

There are two students from the second year.

One went to study at MIT

and works as a research physical scientist.

The other is a diplomatic attaché in the UK.

The next one is Mr. Porama Wongratana, Year Three, ID: 004

Hey, this is Mr. Pom. He looked like a dork.

Mr. Pom got a Master’s Degree in Neuroscience from Boston.

He became a teacher to help the Director develop our potentials

Next up: Mr. Kamthorn Ratanakachorn, Year Three, ID: 006.

Ethnicity: Thailand, Nationality: Thailand, Religious: Buddhism.

Wait!

What are you doing?

Strange.

The Gifted ID runs sequentially from Year One, doesn’t it?

Why does it skip 005?

Must be a technical error.

That shouldn’t happen with the Gifted Program

What are you doing?

That yearbook is the newest version.

It must have been edited

If we want to know who 005 is,

we need to look at an older version.

Wait, Pang.

I should have believed you

I shouldn’t have let her drag me into this.

Year three falls in Academic Year 2006, right?

Yes.

We need to find the one published in that year

Pang!

Pang!

You’re having too much fun here.

Here it is.

This one was published in 2006

the year Mr. Pom enrolled in this Program

No. 005 may not even exist

This is a tear

Is it possible that the missing page contains the info of 005?

Wait, how is this important?

Gifted Student No. 005: Mr. Chanon Taweepong.

Born on 24 June 1990.

He was in classroom one when he enrolled in the Gifted Program

Why has his info page been torn off?

You don’t believe he quit the program, do you?

Let’s do something fun.

One month in a new school

Two weeks in the Gifted Program

Seven days since I discovered my potential

And I’m still the same sick kid

It’s been over 10 years.

He’s a Gifted student in my year.

But the Program took a toll on him

So, he decided not to go on.

Really?

If someone found they had a special power

would they give it up?

it should take them right to the finish line

When someone discovers their potential,

it should take them right to the finish line.

But in reality, there are other factors involved

All these belong to the student who left in that year

If you want an answer, you may find it here.

This can be a good exercise to test your potential

Why did you give up your power?

Mr. Chanon Taweepong

Mr. Pawaret Sermrittirong

Mr. Chanon Taweepong

What’s up?

Did you see that?

Can I come in?

P’ Chanon used to live here

The one who resigned?

He wanted to be an astronaut.

What else do you know?

His potential was in mathematics

He seemed to enjoy it very much.

You got that from just looking?

It’s not hard to tell if someone enjoys what they’re doing
