30 Battery

He held my surprised gaze for a few seconds.

To be honest, I did expect that someone noticed about it by now, I didn't expect G was going to be the first though.

He is probably the person that knows me the best so lie to him was plain stupid.

I have no real reason to hide it but explaining it was complicated.

Let's start with the easy part.

"Yes, I'm hiding something from all of you".

He wasn't surprised at all about it, but seeing that I wasn't talking anymore he continued.

"Can you tell me about it?"

I need a way to explain it, without him thinking I'm crazy.

"… Can you wait for tomorrow? I'll explain it after the morning training…it's going to make more sense that way"

He pondered about it for a few seconds. Before giving me the answer.

"Ok"

After that, I went to my room.

We used some furniture to block the doors just in case, thanks to Dante we know that the girls did the same.

The conversation with G was awkward

I got the feeling that sooner or later I had to tell them, and hiding it forever was not a part of my plans.

I don't want to think this way but if G noticed already probably some of the girls also know.

So I'm going to tell them what I know, but if G's reward is something noticeable it's going to be easier to explain.

After that, I start pondering about the rewards.

The last battle taught me something, it's complex to get my amount of point too low, if it wasn't for the reward of killing the goat, I wouldn't be able to escape Jamie's group.

If I use them to get a knowledge, skill, ticket or power the remaining points are not going to be enough in case of a similar emergency, just in grenades I spent 30 points last time.

If I buy a knowledge skill it cost 75. The points left would be just 30, and I could need bullets too.

The discount ticket, unfortunately, doesn't work on the roulette and I don't want to use it in something cheap.

The advantages, of getting a skill in the long run, are better, but we need to survive first.

About the ticket, I wasn't sure which category to pick. I want to analyze Rose's power before making a choice. Depending on the results of that I would use it in a scout or a enhance type.

'System, does the Random chance have something special in comparison with selecting the power type?'

I understood the idea behind it but to be honest it felt that the random roulette does not have an advantage if you compare it to picking your area.

[The random spin, have 1 extra category (Special Type) but it usually has a lower chance of appearing]

That was nice to know, I wondered about the special power.

'Usually?'

[The user got a special ticket from the mission, the random spin gave the additional option of getting an evolution point, with a low chance. This point can either be used to level up a skill an Lv1 skill or an F-rank power]

Indeed the ticket in my mind was of a different color than the last one.

[Also the user can choose sub-categories for the spin instead of the categories, and the special categories are included between the choices].

''What kind of powers are in the special category?'

[They are powers that do not belong to the other main 5 types]

'5 types?'

[Yes the user doesn't know yet but there are 5 types of powers besides the special category]

'I know of enhancing, scout, mind, and energy which is the fifth?'

[Support, it's similar to enhance but instead of giving you a boost, you can boost others too, shield type powers are also included here].

To be honest, the idea of getting a special power tempted me a lot, but I have to at least be sure about Rose's power before doing it.

I have to finish the training quest, tell everyone about the system, and check rose's power.

I was calm about telling about the system, but the problem was that even in this situation it was a weird ability, that's the reason I want to do it after G got a reward.

I lay down in the bed and finally relaxed a little, It's probably going to be the first night I got a full night sleep since the meteor shower.

_____________

The next day in the morning I felt full of energy, my ear still hurt obviously.

I changed the bandage again and ate something.

Since I wasn't in optimal conditions my body was aching a little because of yesterday's overload.

G appeared from the hallway and was ready to train.

"I'll wait at the roof" he seemed eager to start soon.

He unblocked the entrance and went up.

Each of us manages our own food so it's possible that he ate in his room.

'Dante?'

Since yesterday Dante's mental connection has never broken even once, his power has been getting stronger and his control is better each day.

'Mmmm~? I'm sleeping'

'Sorry, can you wake up Rose and tell her that we are going to train?'

'…Nyow~?''

'Yes now… thank you'

'Shh I'm sleeping again'

I went to the roof. And we started again with a light training.

I started doing a little warm-up and ran around the roof since it was connected to the building next to us we had more space that in our backyard.

The training was unusually quiet. Rose noticed that and asked.

"What's wrong between you two?"

"I'll explain something after the training, I have been hiding something from all of you… and G noticed it"

"So?"

G was surprised by her answer.

"What do you mean with so… you know what he is hiding?"

"No, but it was pretty obvious from the beginning that he didn't tell us everything. I have a couple of theories though".

G was completely dumbfounded when he discovered that his little sister wasn't surprised by his discovery.

"And you weren't curious!? when you noticed?"

"The second day when Hayley appeared in our house. Spence is more the analytic type, so unless he knew something he wouldn't leave the house alone, in the middle of the night because of a "gut feeling".

I thought that he got a power like seeing the future or clairvoyance like me at that time"

"Now that you mention it… it was strange… but why didn't you ask him?"

"I thought about it… but… it's Spence if he hides something … he has his reasons.. he would never do something to harm any of us in any way".

I was moved because of her trust in me.

"Don't worry Rose I'm going to tell all of you after this about it".

She gave me a radiant smile.

"Thanks, I have thought a lot about it but I'm unable to figure it out. Either you have a really weird ability or a lot of unreliable powers".

G was surprised by this.

"What do you mean a lot of unreliable powers?"

"Well first is the scout/future ability I thought he used to see that Hayley was in a trouble, this one was also the same that made us leave the house when the beasts attacked.

But this same ability couldn't tell him about the attack of the crow or the brothers getting supplies. Also, he always asks Dante to scout, or me before that. He either can't control it or it's activated randomly."

Those were the missions… she continued talking.

"For some reason, he got a different ability for his eyes. Later he learned first aids, and I know that he didn't know first aids before. He has a way to gain knowledge but I'm not sure how.

After that is probably what made all the others start to wonder about it… when you kept getting bullets and grenades from nowhere.

But they never appeared until he needed them, he didn't give you an extra magazine, but was able to fill the magazine of the pistol before trading it with you, so that is limited somehow".

G felt stupid, with Rose throwing fact after fact, it was obvious that I haven't told them everything for a while, the grenades were just the cherry on top of everything.

"As I said I'll explain everything after this".

G pondered a little about everything, he opened his eyes and looked back at me.

"Does this training have something special?"

Rose smiled. while she started working out again.

"You are about to know, all I can tell you is that is something good for both of us"

The time passed fast while we trained.

Thanks to Rose the ambiance returned to somewhat normal.

'System what is battery'

[Battery is a perk that allows G to store energy in his muscles]

…he really won a lot with this training.

He also felt the changes. He was looking his hands.

"Spence… what did you do?"
