76 Surprise box

[Congratulations the user Obtaining Time Distortion, do you wish to activate your power? (Y/N)]

I fell silent, and Rose was looking straight at me with her eyes almost popping out.

I was silent for too long, and Hope asked.

"It's still spinning?"

"No…"

"Don't tell me you got enhanced smell…"

"What?! No, I didn't even spin it on that area…"

"Then? What did you get?"

"Time Distortion"

"Isn't that like… super broken?"

"I don't know, it's E-Rank so I don't think it would be as overpowered as we think, but I didn't know that there were time manipulation abilities."

"We have a mind-reading cat, an ice controlling girl, Rose's soul can leave her body… you are really surprised by that?"

"A little, time is a lot more complex than the other abilities that we have seen, I'm going to activate it now."

I went to sit on the couch.

'Yes, Activate Time Distortion'

I felt like my head was going to be split in two, I closed my eyes and clenched my teeth.

[Esper Ability obtained, Time Bubble Lv.1 (Slow motion)]

I don't know how much time it took but my head stopped hurting, I was breathing heavily, and at that moment I felt a hand caressing face and cleaning it with something.

When I opened my eyes, Rose had a bloodied cloth on her hand, I was a little dizzy, I think that my nose was bleeding.

"Are you ok?" Rose worried eyes were looking right at me.

"Just a little dizzy, how much time I was out?"

"A couple of minutes. Are you sure that you are ok?"

I got up and gave her a kiss on the cheek.

"Let's try this."

It hurts to activate new power? Yes, but on the bright side, all the knowledge get's imprinted directly on my mind.

Everything around me slowed down. Not like everyone was moving a lot, but the small gestures were slowed down, blinking moving around.

I stood up and moved away, I heard them talking, but the voices were distorted. I think Hope said "OMG!! so fast" or something like that.

When I was at about 3 meters away Hayley who was farther started to move at normal speed and saw everyone slow down.

It took me about 15 seconds to get tired.

"That was amazing." Hayley was the most surprised, from the others point of view it looked like I was moving faster, but Hayley saw that everyone else was slowed down.

Everyone looked at her.

"You were all in slow motion."

"So, how much range does it has?"

"About 3 meters and I think that the time is slowed for about a third. I can't choose the targets, everyone inside the radius gets affected."

"So if we are outside and use an ability what happens?"

"I'm not sure we can experiment a little more with it later, right now I can use it for about 10 seconds, but unlike my other abilities I can train in this one to get better at it."

"So how does the other reward work?"

"I don't know it's the first time that I got that"

'How does the surprise box works?'

[There are two options, the user can automatically receive all the rewards inside the system, or there can be a physical manifestation].

"I think I can make it appear…"

"Really?"

I think I'll try that it sounds fun.

'System use the physical manifestation.'

A green gift box with a blue lace appeared in the table.

Inside there was… a little booklet.

I took it, and there were 5 tickets inside.

There were also three novels, two comics, a light novel, and a "Leadership for Dummies."

"I think we all got something…"

I pass the light novel to Rose, which was the last volume of a series she liked. A comic for G, the other one seems childish, so I think it's for Dana. Two of the novels were for Hayley and Hope… leadership for dummies was obviously for me… at least that's what everyone decided.

Then I checked the tickets.

Two for weapons, one for junk food, one for a random amount of system points(1-100) and E-Rank enhanced smell.

I took the junk food ticket and gave it to Hope.

Meanwhile, I took one of the weapon tickets.

How do I use this?

[Do you wish to use the ticket? (Y/N)]

Before I could answer I saw that in Hope's hands a little box with junk food appeared, fries, nuggets, a Soda, and a small cat figure… is that Dante?

So anyone can use them. I gave the other weapon ticket to G, no one wanted Enhanced Smell, so I will use it to complete the senses mission. The one that said system points apparently for the other said random object. It makes sense.

'Use weapon ticket.'

At that moment a weapon appeared in my hands, it was a big hammer, and the moment it materialized it went down and almost torn off both my arms.

"S**T!!"

How much does this weight!!!!

It smashed the floor and made a little hole. For a second I was scared that it will go down directly to the first floor or even lower.

G had a MRGR on his hands, but like everyone else, his eyes were glued to me.

The door opened, and Isabella came inside almost running.

"What happened?"

She saw the hammer buried on the floor

"I told you to take care of that wound, I stitched it this morning, and you already have opened the wound again?"

My arm was bleeding, and I don't think that there are any stitches left there.

"Sorry I didn't know that this would happen."

Dana was looking at the blood and came closer to watch.

"Does it hurt?" she asked innocently. I saw that Isabella didn't want her to see, but it was too late.

"Just a little."

"There, there" she softly patted a little above the wound.

Everyone around smiled, but unlike them, I felt something warm spreading from the place she touched. The bleeding stopped, and the wound slowly started to close until a just little scar remained.

Dana saw this and smiled happy with her work, then noticed the junk food on the table and left me there.

I was speechless.

"A little Dante!!"

I was focused on Dana that went to the table and took Dante's figure like if nothing happened.

At my side, Isabella was looking at the wound and then at her daughter. She cleaned the blood, and there was no wound anymore.

"Did you know that she can do that?"

"No"

Dana's voice came from the table at that time.

"Can I have the fries?"

"You have to ask Hope for them." Isabella saw that the junk food was next to her, so she supposed that it was hers.

Hope gave all the food to the little girl, and she started to stuff herself while playing with Dante's figure.

Usually, with a power like that, I would try to help her train more so she can save us in the case of an emergency, but Dana was too young to take that kind of responsibility.

Isabella was a little worried probably because of that.

"You have an amazing daughter Isabella, you don't have to worry about it, she has to learn a lot before even thinking of training her power."

I don't plan to train her, but if there are little wounds I will ask for her to heal them to see the extent of her power but trying to go beyond that on purpose was dangerous, it would mean get wounded to let her heal us. And what if she can't heal more significant wounds?

Isabella was relieved that I didn't plan on training her and went to accompany her daughter that was happily eating the fries and nuggets.

At my feet, a big hammer was half buried. I moved my arm around, and it feels like it was fully recovered. I tried to pick up the hammer, but I couldn't.

With a lot of effort, G was able to take it and move it to a side. The MRGR was a nice addition, but since I changed my battle style I don't feel like it suits me that much, also we need to charge it to use it.

The two remaining vouchers were taken by me.

Since Dana and Isabella were there, we couldn't talk too much about everything.

From tomorrow under everyone's request we will practice more like a group, Hayley is able to hold her aura now, so unless someone annoys her, it should be ok.

The hammer is going to be used by G… because he is the only one that can pick it from the floor.

I will teach Hope how to shoot too so she can use the rifle and eventually the MRGR too from now on.

After everything ended, Rose slipped into my room to sleep.

I haven't ended using my rewards, so I started with the remaining tickets and got 25 system points.

The enhanced smell gave a weird feeling, but I was with Rose, so there wasn't any annoying surprise.

I bought the F-Rank Enhanced Hearing in 200 points, and finally completed the sense quest

[Mission Completed: Get 4 F-Rank Senses and 1 E-Rank Sense

Reward: E-Rank Enhanced Senses]

[E-Rank Esper ability obtained, Sixth Sense]

[The following Esper Abilities were Upgraded From F-Rank to E-Rank]

[Enhanced Touch, Enhanced Sight, Enhanced Taste, Enhanced Hearing]

The seven senses are influenced by the user's current skills and power

[E-Rank Esper ability obtained, choose Precognition/Astral senses/ Psychometry]

Suddenly all my senses started to be overload with information. I haven't even ended getting all my senses and I already felt overwhelmed by all the sensations I was receiving.
