"What did you say?!!!!" Miya shouted as she looked at me with her eyes wide open. Her mouth wasn't any different and you can fit a couple of eggs in there if you tried. Not just her, but everyone else had the same expression as they observed me. They wanted to say something, but words failed to come out of their mouths.

The one to break the silence was Angela,"the maximum time diversion, which I can create after pouring all my energy is 5 times.. to be able to possibly create a time diversion of more than 10 days for every hour passed outside is just.."

[Second Space (Unique) (Level 1)

Allows the user to create a second space where he can enter or exit, using an interdimensional gate.

The user can bring 10 living people to the Second Space he wishes to.

Time Flow: 1 hour in the real world: 10 days in the Second Space

Area of Space: A planet of Radius 500m

Skill Points Required to Upgrade to next Level: 25]

I didn't tell them that I can increase the skill level by making it go as far as 100 days, or else they would have... Haha..

"So with that on the plate, I would like you to take a rest and enjoy being here for the next 3 months or so? According to the time zone, it should be around another 8 hours or more until the sun rises again. I am also going to utilize this time to train a little,"I spoke as I looked at them and they fell into deep thought.

"We are fine with it,"Miya said as she looked at Angela. She was the first one to bounce back from her stupor as she looked at me, while Angela blankly nodded at her.

"Just don't go all out as it will take time to reform everything if you end up destroying more than this planet can handle,"I spoke, but someone interrupted from behind,

"It's fine. Even if they go all out, it won't even cause a dent in this place," Spoke Rhea as she joined us. She observed everyone from left to right before continuing,

"The guys in the gray uniforms.. hmmm.. if you want, I can make a training plan for you? As for the others, I believe you already know how to improve."

The military men were really happy, while the others here, including George, Walter, etc, kind of nodded at Rhea blankly before Rhea turned at me,historical

"You seem to have questions." "Your charm. Did you turn it off or something?" I asked, as normally people will lose their sanity looking at such a beautiful being, but for some reason everything was fine. I wonder why that is.

"Yeah. I adjusted my natural charm to ground zero level, making everyone look at me as an object of work and nothing more. I decided that after you brought those other men here and they were.. you know what I mean, right?" she answered my query, and I answered her,

"Yeah, I do."

Those guys were beyond ferocious. Jumping at someone right after you look at her? Not really a sane person would do. Anyway, with that out of the box,

"You guys should start training or relaxing, whatever it is that you want, and I will continue doing my own thing as well. If you have any questions, I will meet you all to check up on you once every 3 days. Good luck and goodbye,"I spoke as I moved away from there.

From that point onwards, I moved into the [Shop] and started my training with Rhea on how to make the first slash. While I was doing that, I also showed her my spear arts, at which she was surprised really but didn't give any comments except for,

"I guess this would be helpful, too."

But that was the only statement she made about too.

..

THREE MONTHS LATER

..

..

Time passed, and before I knew it, three months came to an end. In these 3 months, I finally perfected my [Ground Zero: First Slash] to maximum. I even got a [Skill] related to it by the system as soon as I finished learning how to do a Slash within a second.

[Ground Zero: First Slash(Universal)]

[Description: A slash powerful enough to cut the universe apart into pieces if the energy possessed by it is capable enough to do so.

Cost: Depending upon the object to be slashed. Normally none.]

"Good," a bright smile plastered upon that white face of hers, as she gazed at that skill with a joyful expression. I could see her eyes glistening as she removed the hairs which were obstructing her vision and placed them behind her ears.

Looking at her behaving like that, I too started smiling a little. Her eyes turned at me as she spoke,"You actually managed to do it before Level 20.. this is.. beyond astounding!"

Jumping at me, she hugged me with that blissful expression on her face. A bit dumbfounded at her actions, I just looked at her, hugging me tightly. I wanted to know how her behavior towards me changed from the previous nonchalant one to.. this.

For the next few moments, we just stayed like that before she slowly separated herself as she looked at me with a couple of tears on her cheeks.

'Was she crying?' I thought as I observed her a couple of meters away from. Slowly standing up, she stood there, wiping her tears as she smiled at me as she spoke,

"You probably don't have any idea how unbelievable the feat you just learnt is. Micheal, I am proud of you.. we will learn the next slash when you reach Level 20, okay?"

Blankly I nodded at her, and she chuckled at me before speaking,"Let's go out. See how the others are doing?"

'She is trying to change the topic. Quite a bad attempt honestly, but since I kinda don't want to think about anything right now, okay,'I thought as I slowly nodded at her and stood up from where I was standing. All I could do was think about the time when she was hugging me.

Was I feeling horny? Yes. It was hard to control my raging emotions, but something deep inside me told me that this was not the time. If I do anything right now, it will result in a problem that I won't be able to come back from.

"What are you waiting for, then? Come,"Rhea spoke again as she looked at me. Her eyes observed me carefully, trying to read my expression, and obviously, given how high my emotions were, it would be a child's work to understand that.

Though she just chuckled as she moved away from there in a joyful manner as she walked in a sexy manner, teasing all the way as she moved out of the room. For the next few minutes, I just stood there sitting in a daze before I stood up, walking towards where she went.

My emotions which were raging. I controlled them as I walked outside and reached to where everyone else was.

'Perhaps, I can put an extra effort into getting level 20?' I thought as a smile formed on my face.
