Lia's dorm room.
"Phew... Okay, I covered this wall with our pictures together that we took in the Dragon
Valley; that one on the left is covered in the pictures from our adventure in the Elven Empire."
"As for the rest of the two walls, I have put the other pictures from the academy and other places that we took at random..."
"Seriously, it takes so much effort to manage such a big collection..."
Lia wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled to herself as if she had accomplished sothing really good today.
She spent the past whole night managing her collection of her pictures with Rio and the other ones that she secretly took whenever he was sleeping or had his guard down.
"Er... What will you do if he soday cos to your room, though? How will you hide all these?"
Kai, who was lazing around on the ground in his small cat form, couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw this.
"You seriously wasted the entire night just looking at them for hours and putting them here and there... You know, you can actually go and hug the real him; it's weird how you are so obsessed with his pictures..."
"Don't tell ... Were you born with a hidden talent for being a stalker!?"
Lia pouted her cheeks after hearing those words and spoke in an annoyed tone.
"No! This is solely for the purpose of research, nothing else! You are misunderstanding sothing! I just like capturing these because I want to rember these mories forever!!" "I am totally innocent!"
Lia said those words with such confidence that Kai had serious doubts about whether this girl even knows if stalking soone is illegal or not.
Lia glanced at the small golem that was rolling on the ground and was playing with a ball that she gave it and said,
"You know, you should be more like RJ; he's always so well behaved and never annoys like you; maybe you should start behaving like a proper cat from now on..."
Kai rolled his eyes at those words,
"Are you seriously comparing to that happy-go-lucky little golem who has the ntality of a kid and is always busy in his own world?"
"And in the first place, when did you na it 'RJ'?"
Lia puffed up her chest in pride at that question and replied with great confidence,
"I nad it just now... You see, he was given to by Rio, so I nad him 'Rio Junior.' That is what 'RJ' stands for!"
"As I thought, my naming sense is the best!"
Kai put his small cat paw on his head and shook his head like a mother who is completely disappointed at her child's incompetence.
"The next ti I et that stone-faced kid, I must tell him that he mustn't let you na his kids at all costs; your naming sense is really quite unreliable!"
Lia felt a bit embarrassed that her naming sense was considered so bad, so she tried to suggest so other na,
"Er... t-then how about 'Sweet Pie'-"
Kai felt a bit annoyed, so he imdiately denied it.
"THAT little fella has a literal miniature SUN inside it's small body; it can wipe out the entire solar system in ONE GO!!"
"Are you sure that sothing that dangerous should be given such a casual and sweet na!?"
"It would be more believable if we gave him so demon's na, sothing like Astaroth, Baal!, Etc..."
Lia glanced at the harmless-looking small golem who was playing around on the ground with a plastic ball and was giggling like a kid and had serious doubts whether such a na would really suit it at all.
Just when Lia was busy thinking about a na for the little golem, a small dark red portal opened below her feet, and she got teleported in an instant!
"W-what the!?"
Kai was the first one to react; he imdiately grabbed the small golem with its paws, and in a matter of milliseconds he jumped on Lia's shoulder before she fell in the portal.
Thus, the three of them fell into the portal all at once.
...
Riya's dorm room.
Riya, who was sleeping on the edge of the bed, slipped and woke up in fright.
"Ow... I fell again?..."
Riya is a restless type of sleeper; she twists and turns in bed like crazy when sleeping; even Raji or Riya's mom dares not sleep with her as she will kick them down and will never let them sleep in peace.
Although she fell down, she didn't suffer much pain as she subconsciously used her healing magic to instantly deal with the pain.
"Yawn... It's morning already... I ended up watching those drama shows the whole night and didn't get much sleep... yawn... I feel so sleepy..."
Riya ignored the imnse ss that she has caused in her room and slumped down on the bed to lay down and laze.
While lazing around on the bed, she saw the candy packet placed on the nearby table, but she was too lazy to get up and grab it.
"Ugh... I want telekinesis or sothing like that... That will make things so much easier for to grab candies from far away..."
"Hmm, I will ask Big Sis to teach about it... then I can laze around all day without needing to get up to grab candies..."
After Link, the only motivation that makes her train is candy; to make it easier to grab candies from far away, she would need telekinesis.
"Er... but I rember she said that only when I reach S-rank can I have telekinesis..."
Telekinesis is basically the power to use mind waves to control the things around you, like wind and anything else.
It's not exclusive to any particular class type; any awakener can learn this ability once they
reach rank S.
At rank S, you would have already surpassed your racial limits and would beco a superhuman of sorts.
At that point, your mind power will be imnse, and you can just use mana to boost your
mind waves further; that way, you can technically use telekinesis.
The stronger a person's mana control and mind power, the stronger their telekinesis.
"I guess I have to reach S-rank fast then!!"
Riya imdiately got up from her bed, and all the laziness and sleepiness disappeared from
her face in an instant!
A look of rare determination appeared on her face.
"For the sake of candies, I need to reach rank S! I guess I will go train today for the whole
day!"
Just when Riya took the first step, a portal opened below her feet, and she imdiately fell in
it.
"Wha!? I am getting teleporting!? Oh no!! I forgot my candies!!"
Riya's whole space ring is always filled with huge amounts of candy, and there is barely anything else in it except a change of clothes and a few other important stuffs.
She ate all the candies and emptied the entire space ring last night. Right now, the ring only
has a few changes of clothes in it and so potions and stuff.
There's not a single candy left! Getting teleported sowhere with no candies to survive!
This is a great tragedy!
...
Link's Dorm Room.
"Phew.... Lying down in the bathtub and enjoying the warm water is the best thing..."
As Link is training most of the ti of the day, he always likes to lay down in the bathtub for a long ti to relax his muscles.
"But seriously, controlling a legendary skill to make it work like a harmless handwarming auxiliary skill... I used to think it would be easy, but now that I am personally trying it..."
"It's so f*cking impossible!!"
Link's legendary skill 'Dao Rhythm' represents harmony with nature and the 'self', in other words, it should be much easier for him to do sothing like warming hands with the skill.
But the facts prove him wrong.
His skill is not even 'destructive' in nature; it's a hundred tis more gentle than 'Sword
Intent', yet controlling it to just warm the hands to so specific mild temperature is already
a very difficult feat.
"It's not a problem when I try to put as much power to attack, but when trying to hold back
and make it more harmless... it becos difficult..."
Link glanced at his own two hands and sighed.
'My hands blow apart like a balloon being burst whenever I try to do it... I always end up needing a healing potion afterwards to heal myself...'
'And to think that Rio was already doing it a year ago... His mastery over 'sword intent' is
imnse...'
Although Link never says words of appreciation on Rio's face, he does respect his rival from
the bottom of his heart.
He has already considered Rio his eternal rival. But seeing Rio pull off such insane feats so easily makes him wonder whether he himself is worthy of rivaling Rio in the first place.
'I clearly have higher talent potential than anyone else, but perhaps Rio has so talent that increases his 'comprehension' to the extre or sothing...'
No one in the team Astra knows why Rio is able to advance so fast despite the fact that the test results at his awakening showed that he only had C rank talent potential.
Link himself faced the 'heavenly punishnt' when he was born; if Rio really had as much talent as him, he should have faced the 'heavenly punishnt' too.
The conclusion that everyone ca to is that Rio likely has so kind of talent that increases
his comprehension to the extre and lets him bypass the talent limits by 'forcefully
breaking' them.
'I guess I will have to train harder to catch up or he will really leave behind in dust...'
Just as Link was thinking all this while lying naked in the bathtub, a dark red portal suddenly opened below him, and he fell inside instantly.
He didn't even have the ti to grab a set of clothes for himself.
