"Nooooo, black-hearted system. Give me back my sweat earnings."
With the risk of having a heart attack and blood cells flowing through the wrong veins and arteries due to extreme anger. Arvina intervened.
["Sweetheart, your health is in tumult. Try to take a deep breath. Calm down. I am definitely certain you will have a lot of v01d credits in the future. You just have to work a little hard."]
"Huh! You just have to wor..."
Shua!
Ariel Sebastian was forcefully teleported out of V01D space.
"...k a little hard."
Ariel Sebastian's real body returns to her bed in her room, and the energy clone doppelgänger disperses. It was 6 a.m. She was feeling extremely weak and too lazy to argue with Arvina. Ariel Sebastian spread her shaking hand to grab some nutrient-rich energy bars. She greedily stuffed and consumed the nutrient-rich energy bars, but she needed more. Her glutton instincts were at max level. She kept consuming. At eight packs, she was saturated. The economic law of diminishing returns kicks in.
'Huff!'
A deep exhale escaped the nostrils and mouth of the exhausted Ariel Sebastian. She was completely worn out, both mentally and physically. Ariel Sebastian gradually falls into a deep sleep as her body winds down. Lost in her dream world. Waking her up will require vigorous exercise.
The hectic training continued throughout the weekends. The weekdays were not spared at all. Ariel Sebastian's body anatomy was continuously refined, reconstructed, and remodeled. Yeah! That's the 3 Rs. Each of her movements unconsciously displays one or two of her hectic training. Ariel Sebastian was not different from a super soldier.
----
6 a.m. Tuesday, 866 Eden year.
The usual exercises were completed. A white, pale, and shaking hand struggles on a queen-sized bed. The hands tried to support the body but were too exhausted. A body falls because it lacks the support of a hand. Surprisingly, the shaking hands keep moving, but this time, they crawl. Don't put too much thought into whose hand was shaking. No other person except Ariel Sebastian, who worked hard to complete her daily tasks. Ariel Sebastian had one goal. The rejuvenation tea she purchased on CosmicNET laid silently on her beauty table.
The first training weekend taught Ariel Sebastian a valuable lesson, which included both finishing her tasks and experiencing the horrors of trying to complete her tasks. The challenges of dragging her tired body around Starlight's college grounds increased her brain processes. She learned to search for solutions to any of her problems. Ariel Sebastian storms the CosmicNet, surfing for drugs, medicine, elixirs, nutrients, drinks, and so on that aid in recovering exhausted bodies and minds. Arvina introduced her to a wonderful tea ad. An ancient tea popular in the then Asian continent, China, if I am to give details. The sale of Spring Moon rejuvenation tea is listed. Eh! That was the tea's name, or what Ariel Sebastian thought was the tea's name.
The Spring Moon rejuvenation tea was made from 10,000-year-old ginseng! Bla Bla Blaa for the rest of its descriptions. Hey! Pharmacists fill in the gaps.
Ariel Sebastian summarized the tea's benefits by calling it a "miracle worker," regardless of what ingredients it included. The tea was a great catch for Ariel Sebastian. Her exhausted body and mind, as the name suggests, rejuvenate. Her pale and shaking body refreshed whenever she drank the tea. Making it easy for Ariel Sebastian to bounce here and there.
At last, the shaking hands arrive at their destination.
'Whoosh'
A sachet of the Spring Moon rejuvenation tea was poured into the cup filled with hot water, which was usually kept in a water flask. The tea dissolved. The streams of evaporated water oozing up, when inhaled give a soothing feeling.
'Gulps'
All the tea was emptied from the cup.
'Wooo'
A breath of euphoria. Ariel Sebastian enjoys the feeling of cells in her body rejuvenating. She can never get hold of it. This feeling... Ariel Sebastian links it to the rise of Phoenix from the ashes. No! You got a livid and exaggerated thought here. You can't link it to Phoenix. You ought to be dead to experience phoenix rebirth.

Work hard to pay off church rat.]
"NOT AGAIN. Those credits are my sweat. No one pays their debt in such absurd MANNER, Mr. V01D",
'Hic... Hic'
[There is someone now?!]
["Shit! Girl, are you trying hard to wake up everyone in the neighborhood? Pipe down your scream."]
"TRAITOR ARVINA, I remembered vividly that I am not on speaking terms with you. Ignore my existence and STOP SPEAKING TO ME!!!"
["Hihihi, my sweetheart looks extremely beautiful when she is angry."]
"V01D, I got messages during my training. I never had time to look through it. I know it's related to my task."
'V01D, bring up my task status', Ariel Sebastian made a mental request.
Shua!

"Really, this is fantastic."
After 96 hours of real-time, which was 48 days of v01d time. Skipping Monday school was also calculated. Ariel Sebastian completed five out of seven of her tasks. This was far beyond what V01D calculated. Ariel Sebastian's rate of learning was monstrously frightening. A scary talent. The hard-to-please V01D, for once since its existence, was pleased toward a creature.
["I am so happy today."]
"Yeah, I know black-bellied traitorous bitch is enjoying my misfortune."
"Go on and display all your smug faces," bitterly commented Ariel Sebastian.
["You don't get it, sweetheart."]
"..."
Arvina, in a superhuman pose and a slightly pointed smug nose, 2 o'clock facing the sky, declares this to Ariel Sebastian.
["It's your day of BAPTISM"]
"Seriously, why do I have the feeling? It is your baptism and not mine," a look that is always directed at a clown who tries to steal the thunder of the protagonists was pestered in Ariel Sebastian's face.
["Your baptism is also my baptism."]
"Nope! It's my baptism. I won't share with a backstabbing traitor."
["Really, do we have to argue about this? Hurry and prepare. I have checked in at your school. They got the habit of arranging hovercrafts to escort the students to 'Eden's gate."]
["I do not wish to hear the lame excuse of 'sorry, I am late'."]
