BROADING YOUR HORIZON

Thanking the audience and waving her goodbye. Ariel Sebastian departed with the group of girls plus Jin Dae.

Just as Ariel Sebastian was leaving the cafeteria with the three girls. She received a prompt notification from SkyNET and V01D. She decided to go through with the SkyNET notification before V01D's notification.

[SkyNET had kept tabs on over thirty million humans from all walks of life. According to V01D instructions.

Ten million humans have successfully passed the intensive screening watch.

We need your authorization to send an invitation to qualified humans.]

'Proceed with the invite, SkyNET. Send me a detailed list of the invitees, their specialties, talents, and vice versa.'

'Send a copy to Arvina. She can carefully plan their qualified posts'

[Instructions received]

[You have less than 20 hours for the upgrade of the V01D world. Would the host love to continue her training? Or perhaps search for resources in the Garden of Eden. There are also options to hunt Eden's spirit beasts.]

'V01D, can't you decide for me?'

[There is a conflict of interest between my GREAT SELF and little Arvina.]

'Really, is trouble-seeking Arvina giving you some headache?'

'What is the root of the conflict of interest?'

[I suggested mastery of your survival skills and bringing the skills to intermediate stages. It will provide a wide range of options to survive in the wild. Little Arvina preferred exploring for treasures and spirit beasts loot gotten from hunting.]

'Hmm! There are pros and cons to this idea. But I am leaning toward increasing my skills. Although it is hellish training. The benefits outweigh the pains'

Ariel Sebastian would not want to be in a situation where she overestimated her confidence. If she gets into an ugly situation that she can't muscle through or escape. She will quickly become one of the millions of overestimated adventurers who bite the dust early in their lives. Ariel Sebastian will have to spend the next 10 days of V01D time practicing her skills.

Ariel Sebastian made her choice. A system alert pops up.

Puff~

"What is the problem, girl? First, you were spacing out. Next, you vomited blood." The worried eyes of Anika Abby pierced Ariel Sebastian's body as if imitating a CT (computed tomography) scan.

Ariel Sebastian was at a loss for words. Arvina came to the rescue. Ariel Sebastian interpreted her excuse word for word. Crafting a believable story of being injured by the tail swipe of the spirit Yali beast. The girls bought the lie.

An ideal, untrue story to conceal her whereabouts. Explaining the need for a medical checkup.

Anika Abby, who waited to glimpse the hidden truth of Ariel Sebastian's magical strength, was let down. She retired to her faith, uncertain of the future. She knew she had a lot of time to uncover Ariel Sebastian's protected truths.

"Let me escort you to Federation Evolver Healthcare," she said, not waiting for Ariel Sebastian's reply. She pulled Ariel Sebastian to the hover parking area where the hover Titan-ZDX car was parked. This morning, the Titan-ZDX was the car: Ariel Sebastian, Alec Sebastian, Lisa Maya, and Anika Abby rode to school. Alec Sebastian left the hover car lying in the parking lot. He knew the girls would definitely make use of the hover car.

The ladies made their way to the parking lot. They were told the Titan-ZDX was parked at Hover Car Spot 0987. Indeed, it was there. Waiting for its master. The girls got on board. Exactly as they were in the morning. The only difference was that Alec Sebastian was exchanged with Jin Dae, the Starlight college belle.

Vrooom!

The red demon beast roared to life and zoomed to the input destination at Mach speed.

Federation Evolver Healthcare (FEH)...

In a short amount of time, a meticulously maintained skyscraper building was visible from the Titan-ZDX view. This building was a branch of Federation Evolver Healthcare (FEH), located close to Starlight College. Meanwhile, the headquarters of Federation Evolver Healthcare (FEH) are stationed on the original planet of mankind, Earth.

Not just anyhow can a person access Earth, the human-origin planet. Earth is the most guided planet in human territory. You can say Earth is almost a relic.

For humans, visiting Earth is an endless, frustrating, and bureaucratic endeavor; so many gave up on the long, cumbersome procedure. Such ridiculous and annoying processes were implemented to give an annoying mystery to Earth. The plan worked perfectly.

Anika Abby took some time upon arriving at the FEH facility to schedule an appointment for Ariel Sebastian to use the healthcare pod. The medical health pod was mankind's latest technology in the health sector. For as long as you are not dead, the medical pod will heal you to perfection.

Ariel Sebastian was assigned a medical pod. It was a private health pod that was attached to a private deluxe room. The deluxe room holds the best health pods produced by humans. Its treatment is top-notch.

Inside the well-lit, spacious deluxe room or cabin, with broad wide windows for fresh air. Enough to contain ten humans. A custom-made health pod was neatly arranged. A standby human nurse, not the popular robo-nurse, was added for comfort. There are comfort soft chairs for patients' loved ones to feel relaxed and at home.

Ariel Sebastian walked up to the health pod and climbed into the pod. She was glancing at her friends. Yeah! She sees Jin Dae as a potential home girl. She finally gave instructions to the health pod to begin treatment. Designating the total time, she will use 22 hours of real-time. An extra two hours to explore the V01D World new upgrade and get comfortable with her new body strength. The remaining time was to enjoy her Spring Moon rejuvenation tea. While activating the health pod to heal up any body deficit.

The health pod was close. Ariel Sebastian's health pod was pitch black. She chose pitch black to cover up the anomaly of the health pod not treating a human. She knew an energy clone would replace her actual body as an alibi. The health pod was not designed to treat energy clones. It was built to treat humans. So, Ariel Sebastian has to avoid questions that will be raised.

Arvina and Ariel Sebastian were an excellent pair. Arvina hacked into the chipsets of the health pod. Falsifies the data to look like it was intensively treating an injured evolver. Ariel Sebastian, on her part, will be free of worries and focus on her training sessions. Both intelligently deceived the world.

The girls made sure she was safe before they left. They couldn't wait for hours. They left but will return at the expiration of the health pod time.

Ariel Sebastian noticed they were gone. The nurse was not paying attention to her. She instructed.

'Begin the mission.'

Ariel Sebastian mentally said it in her mind.

[Creating an energy clone...

Preparing to swap host bodies to an incomplete V01D world...

Done!]

Shua

Ariel Sebastian appeared at the usual V01D training center (VTC). She noticed new tutors had been added. Scary training equipment has also appeared.

She noticed three new areas. One was a commander's room. The second was a firearms training room, while the last room was a simulator room. The room entrances had their names boldly written. You don't need reading glasses to see the bold words.

As Ariel Sebastian walked into the training center. Her eyes met the eyes of her LINE tutor, Avery Bryn. She has a favorable opinion of Avery Bryn, the LINE tutor. Avery Bryn also has a favorable opinion of Ariel Sebastian, her student.

[It's been a while, sugar. I thought you were avoiding me.]

"No-no, Miss Avery Bryn..."

[Just call me Avery.]

"Uhm! Okay, I have been at Eden chasing after my evolution since I left the v01d space," she said to Avery Bryn. She further narrates her ordeal.

"I have been in a life-and-death scene in which your LINE skills were extremely important."

[See, I told you there are benefits.]

"Haha, that is the reason I am back. I came to widen the benefits. I will be in your care. I just need you to train me to the INTERMEDIATE stage..
