260 Mistakes?

(Dante's POV)

I know that this idea is already on Spencer's mind even if it is for different reasons, but it is better to break this awkward silence soon.

'Well, he needs to grasp a better understanding of the boundaries, so he knows how to change the limits.'

After that, I decided to add something to Rose.

'Oh, right I almost forgot… for the time being, don't let Lucy leave his soul.'

This comment managed to finally interrupt her train of thoughts.

"You think he is still in danger?"

Her words brought back everyone's attention to the topic, and even G stopped thinking of killing Spence… for now.

Until now, they didn't know that Spence might still be in danger.

'Maybe… it doesn't hurt if we are careful~, the main point for nyow is that Spence learns more about his powers.'

Hayley also seemed to want to forget what Rose said and picked up what I said.

"Then he has to level up the skills related to his powers?"

'Yes, he had a good grasp of his abilities before, but with the huge leap from E to C-Rank, he got lost about what he should and what he shouldn't do. He lacks knyowledge~ and he has to fill that gap… that way he will not go around showing off, doing stuff that doesn't make sense~.'

"Hey, I'm not showing off! What makes you say that?"

'Well for starters everyone's ability has clear limits and work in a certain way that can be explained by this or a certain Realm laws~, you have no idea how yours works and since your abilities work in this Realm you are screwed and should at least understand the rules before trying to do that stuff~. And if you weren't showing off, then why you used that skill if there were other ways to deal with the toad? You wanted to show off your new skill even if it wasn't complete.'

Spence felt hurt because deep inside knew I was right. He picked what I say and noticed something.

"That's not true, there are some abilities that can't be explained right?"

'…'

I just looked back at him as if he was an idiot… Did I make a mistake with my decision?

"You really can explain every ability?"

He asked after looking at my face clearly doubting what I said.

'With some extra points in intelligence you might too, but the skill you created is an exception… and so the reality couldn't explain it either. You destroyed the space, but it's not like you absorb everything and crush it like a black hole or that you teleport it to another place or disintegrate it on a molecular level… it just stops existing, and that doesn't make sense. You can take notes I'm telling you the correct way to finish your skill by the way.'

He was a little shocked at my statement, but either way, he agreed that he needed to start studying again to fill the gap.

At this moment he was still thinking about that every power had an explanation

"G's Anger Empowerment."

'Similar to your adrenaline burst, in certain situations, he secretes a unique hormone that helps him push his limits.'

"Rose's Astral Manipulation."

'Tricky… she open portals from another realm were the laws are different from our own, she can extract energy from that realm and use it here, but it's more difficult. That's the reason why she can control it better when she is in her Astral form.'

"Hayley's shatter."

'She can take the heat from designated areas reducing the temperature to freeze stuff, the heat that she takes from there is dissipated by conduction and convection. Shatter reverts the process violently, and we know what happens when you heat suddenly something that it's frozen.'

…

They all looked at me surprised, most of them didn't even think about this stuff. Rose had thought of some of these explanations by herself but never bothered to get too deep in them until now.

"Can all the powers really be explained?"

'Of course… some might be trickier, but all of them had a way to be explained. Those that are similar to Rose are difficult since we don't know those realm's rules, but with some time, it would be easy to understand them.'

All of them were seriously thinking about adding some reading into their training right now… this should be enough of a push for them to improve a little before we leave Green Shelter.

I hate to explain everything I want a nap.

'Can we finish this? Now that I explained everything, you should go sleep on it and get your own conclusion. Spence, try to not use any power until you get better… now leave I want to finish this comic and go take my already delayed evening nap.'

They looked at each other with some doubts, but everything that they wanted to discuss right now was solved

They left the room like a bunch of kids that have been scolded by their parents. A minute later the only one behind was Hayley who was watching me fight to change the page of the comic with my paws.

Hayley got near me picked me up and put me in her lap with the comic in front. She gently put her hand on my head and petted me … this feels nice.

*Purrrr*

"What you said about my power… is it true?"

'Of course, it's true.'

"Then do you think I can burn stuff too?"

I thought about it for a second while reading the comic.

'It's possible, but from what I knyow, you reject the heat from a place. You can't really control it except when you revert the process when you use shatter. It's possible that when your power evolves to B-Rank, you might be able to do it, but it depends on how your power evolves.'

She nodded and changed the page again. I knew that this was in her mind, but what she really wanted to talk about wasn't this.

The silence was only interrupted by the sound of the pages being changed, and my purring.

'Even if I can read minds if you want to talk about it… you should start.'

*sigh*

"I'm sorry to bother you with this stuff, but I have no one else to talk about it. Please don't make me say it, you already know about it, right?"

'About you trying to follow a rat's idea?'

… I could feel her hand stiffens a little at the comment.

"…Yes … what should I do? I fell like I did something that I shouldn't have done…"

'I can't answer that Hayley, but I can tell you two things. First, Spencer will not throw you away despite what happens, and … yes, you made a huge mess with this… I mean it's Pinky's idea for god's sake!'

I knew that one of her biggest fears was to be left alone, so I wanted to reassure her that she was going to be okay in that regard.

"I don't know, he disappeared, and we all almost die on the fight with the Alpha Cow, I didn't think when I told that to Rose…"

'If you like him, why you told him to go for Rose?'

"He looked at her the way he used to look at me… I knew he liked her, and I wanted him to be happy."

'that doesn't make sense if it is like that, then why you are making things difficult for them?'

"I didn't think that it would be such a huge deal I understood how stupid it was after I already told her… the last thing I want is to give them troubles… it's just that when Pinky called me the second wife I thought… would it be that bad? The idea got into my head and thought that I could be happy with them. and then al the war happened."

'As I said, I can't tell you what to do, but you should at least give them space to enjoy their time together. About other possibilities, just time will tell. You shouldn't focus on that tho… let him go… if they come back to you, great, the three of you can be happy together, but if not you should find happiness elsewhere.'

She kept petting me as she was deep in thought.

"You know, sometimes I think that you act more like a human than as a cat."

'I have read too many human minds. I miss being a cat tho… everything was simpler that way.'

"I'm glad I can talk to you, and thank you for listening to me."

She lifted me and gave me a hug.

"I let you take your nap."

Even if she tries to hide it, I know that she is about to cry, and that's the reason she wants to leave.

A voice from an old man sounded on my head.

[You know… if you regret or feel like you made a mistake, you can always start over.]

I pondered for a few seconds.

'Nah, I think that this is still better.'

[Are you sure? That girl is quite pitiful you might try to change that.]

'This is still a hundred times better than before. This way is fine… I'm going to make it work.'

With no one here I went back to the book I was reading previously.
