You Have to be Kidding…

Hope and G were surprised by Rose's words.

"What do you mean?" G looked at rose with a serious face.

"Well, yesterday after we trained together Spence mentioned that he thought that my power was amazing right?"

"Yes…" this time I responded

"And I said that I wanted to be useful, so I wanted to try it by myself"

"That's too dangerous"

"I know that … so I asked Dante to help me".

"You asked my cat to help you check your power?"

"You say that, but you always ask him for help, and you know that he is probably smarter than my brother right now"

"Hey!!" G was hurt by her words

"Sorry, the point is, even if you both are there, neither of you have any power that can help. Gerhard has a physical enhance, and the time I used my power when I was with you, you weren't able to see me, with those eyes."

I knew she was right but overseeing the process would give us some peace.

I sighed.

"You are right but if something happened to you Dante wouldn't be able to help".

"I told him to call you in case of anything happens. In any case, the safest way was to use my power while I am keeping a mental connection with Dante, and it worked.

The times I used before today I didn't pay much attention to anything. The first time I used I didn't even think of it being a new power. The second time I had to go back right away because I fainted on the spot and Spence had to catch me.

This time I wanted to pay attention to my surroundings. I called Dante and told him to keep the connection with me and you in case something happens.".

That explains the link was there when I went to sleep and when I wake up.

"Did you discover something?"

"Dante and I talked all the time while the experiment was going on, if I stopped talking or answering him he had to call you.

First, I left my body and walked around my room for a minute. It was like the world got a photographic filter on, I saw all in greyscale. I went back to my body and there were no problems."

"Did you get a headache, dizziness or any strange symptom?"

"No, nothing like that, I decided to rest a couple of minutes and left my body again.

I repeated this a couple of times but each time I went farther from my body.

I can pass through doors, but not through the walls, I tried to interact with some objects, but I couldn't touch most of them.

I never left the building, but I went to the roof, and to the farthest, I went down was the first floor".

We all listened to Rose's little experiment.

"Did you feel anything wrong as you went farther away from your body?"

"That's the reason I didn't leave the building. When I was on the first floor I could feel something pulling me back to my body, and I thought it could be dangerous if I try to get farther".

I was thinking about all she told me.

"There are more thing we need to test, but for now you should try to get used to moving around in that realm, and you can´t leave the building".

"I agree I want to see if I'm able to interact with an object in some way".

"Did you tried to interact with someone?"

"No, I just lied down next to you for a while but never touch you or did anything to any of you"

She went bright red after her confession.

For some reason, G was giving me an annoyed look

'… it's not my fault, dude' I thought to myself'

I tried to change the subject

"Later we need to see if you can interact with people too".

It looked like when I said that she started to ponder about something.

To be honest I was quite surprised by her.

Clairvoyance was an amazing power before. But I still have this feeling that there is a lot more to her power than what we know.

Her fast thinking perk made her go from an intelligent girl to a genius.

Her honesty perk overrides her shyness, the way she talked was much more direct thanks to this, and she didn't save her opinions as before.

Unfortunately, she was bounded to have a lot of embarrassing moments too… like her fangirling at the beginning, or the confession of what she has done during her experiment.

She stopped thinking and told me

"Are you using the ticket?"

"You have any recommendation?"

"A physical enhances, I think with some development me and Dante are enough for scouting, and even without us your eyes can work a little".

I agreed with her, even if the special category sounded tempting, it was too random, and I have no idea what I can get there, maybe next time.

'System use the F-ranked ticket in physical enhancement roulette'

Rose was looking at me filled with curiosity, she was still a little flushed.

"And?"

"It's still spinning"

G didn't understand.

"What is still spinning?" Hope looked at me with curiosity too since she didn't get it either.

"When I use the ticket its like a roulette starts spinning to choose the power".

""Oooh""

The roulette stopped

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

'Yes'

I regretted right away my decision.

I fell to my knees, how did I forget this part?.

I'm sure I heard a scream when I fell. The next second I felt one of the most painful experiences in my life.

Each nerve on my body was burning, reforming, and evolving, also new nerves were born appeared and the old ones Changed. I should have activated pain resistance first.

When it stopped I was in the floor in fetal position and soaked in sweat, I felt sensitive everywhere.

All my friends were around me with worried faces.

[Synergy effect discovered, all your senses have improved].

[Body Upgrade Agi+5 Dex+3].

My sight became clear again and made a reassuring smile.

"I forgot that part".

Hope was next to me.

"Are you ok, you fell and started screaming in pain"

I can't believe that was my scream.

"Yeah, I'm ok, I just feel a little tired now".

"What happened to you? That seemed painful" I'm not sure why but G had a little smile on his face.

"I got enhanced reflexes, all my nerves evolved"

I sat on the couch once again.

"Any other questions about the system?"

Rose raised her hand.

"You talked about blueprints, are there for crossbows?"

"Yeah, they are for almost for any type of weapon, what you have in mind?"

"They can be better weapons for us. They aren't as noisy as the fire guns. If we can make the bolts you don't need to waste points in bullets"

I looked at G.

"If I have the right pieces and tools I can build them".

I nodded and bought them.

For 10 points I got 2 blueprints. I also made a little modification on both crossbows.

Blueprints were for a light and a medium crossbow (bolts included), the modification was to make reloading easier.

I gave the blueprints to G.

He to look at them and each second he was more surprised.

"Amazing"

When I bought I saw that there was indeed a stock, and the stock for the crossbows now was 0.

"I'm going to rest a little"

Rose stopped me before I could leave the couch.

"But why not we complete the other missions first"

"What do you mean?"

"I have an idea of what Jamie's plan is, he is a classic "I suffered when young and everybody should suffer too"… also from what you have told me about his possible power I have an idea about it.

If a tell you and I'm right the mission is completed, after that, you can kiss someone, that way you can complete 2 missions now".

"Rose, I'm not kissing someone just to complete a mission… And the reward is not that good anyway"

[Ding]

[Mission Change: Kiss someone from whom you have feelings for

Type: Normal

Reward: Cha+5/5, ??? (depends on the recipient of the kiss)

Time Left: Unlimited]

"But I don't mind"

There it was the another of the embarrassing moments I talk about, she was a bright red right now.

What surprised me more was the system mission update.

G suddenly interrupted my train of thoughts

"You are considering it?!?!"

"What! no, it's just that when I said that rewards weren't good the system changed the rewards".

"And you started to think about it because the rewards got better?"

Hope interrupted us.

"Can we go back to the important stuff, you know Jamie's plans, right?"

"Yeah but you are not going to believe me if I tell you"

"Why not?

"Because is one of the most stupid plan that a villain can have in mind".

I thought for a second.

"You are saying that Jamie wants to destroy the world?"

"No, the other plan…world domination"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

I thought about she meant for a second.

[Ding]!

"…"

"You have to be kidding me".
