Chapter 23 - Chapter 23

*Hariko's POV*

I've been training for quite a while now. Time works differently here from what I've been told so I assume a few weeks have passed... and to be honest I grew to like it, sure the training is pretty obnoxious at times but using magic is quite worth it "Ma'am? can I please take a break? if I continue training I will literally shut down" she laughs lightly as she continues to float in the air "And here I thought you were a robot, dear... anyhow, you may have a rest, after all you've been training all the time" by now I could control my fox fire, I think that's what it's called and I can do so many tricks with it, like lighting up the entire forest.. I think I am a pyromaniac after all..

Another spell I learned is telekinesis and it's the best spell so far, however.. I can only move objects that are the size of a pencil... while this lady can lift an entire truck with a flick of her wrist "How can I move heavier objects? I only can move small things.." "Patience is required Hariko, how much can you lift with your strength?" "Dunno... does lifting a car tire without problem counts?" She gives me a cheeky grin, shaking her head lightly "Why do people go to the gym? there are many factors sure... some go to train their strength, of course lifting does have a limit.. but in this case, it's not about your psychical strength my dear Hariko"

I raise an eyebrow at her and with a blink of an eye she was next to me, I have yet to get used to her appearing out of nowhere... "This.. this is your target dear" she places her hand on my head "So I control things with my mind..?" "Exactly Hariko, this is what you need to train" "And how can I do that..?" "Meditation is the answer" how in the world would that freaking help me? I'm just gonna sit on the floor and stay there? why does it have to be so complicated.. "I know you don't like to struggle.. but as I said, meditate for at least three hours per day and soon, you will see some improvement".

She proceeds to float again, twirling in the air while doing so "Could you teach me to float? or fly?" "These two things... fox fire and telekinesis.. they're very easy to learn, you learned them in a few days but you are nowhere near of controlling them properly, let alone master them. Floating is going to take at least years" wait what? how the hell does it takes so much? well.. if I do think about it.. "Floating it's very complicated, not only to explain but to do it too" "How do you manage to float though?" "I just empty my mind.. relax.. and fall on my back, then I just float into the air.. do not even think about trying it now" "Alright fine.." a chocolate bar appears in my hand and I swear I could see the lady grin more.

I take a small bite and it tasted a bit.. weird but I'll go with it "Everyone has different styles of floating, like you could just jump in the air and float.. and so many more" "So.. after my break what are we gonna do?" I ask while munching "Well, most likely you'll have to meditate for six hours and then you could start jumping from one place to another" why..? it is going to increase my jump height or something? "And you're going to climb a that mountain" "What mountain..?" she points at a direction as the fog began to disperse, revealing a mountain that could make the Everest tiny "That mountain" "You're very funny.."

*Rowan's POV*

After I unpack everything I had and put them in their places, I went to explore my surroundings and oh man.. everything was so nice that you could stare at it for at least half an hour "I think I will go insane all alone here.." by now I was on my way to my new lovely job that I will work on for at least 35 years or something like that, life is really beautiful isn't it? "Man... how come only the people that give a damn are the ones usually vanishing without a trace..." I have yet to get over Hariko's leaving, and each day it only worsens.

I enter inside the building and I was instantly greeted by someone that I wasn't expecting at all "Hello there Rowan, good to see that you finally arrived" I turn over to see a smug looking lady... oh heavens Larisa what did you bring me into? "What's the matter? never seen a fine lady like me hm?" she wiggles her eyebrows as she lets out a laugh, but before I could retort back she cuts me off "Anyhow boy, come here~ I will guide you on your first day alrighty? by the way.. I'm the manager around here so you better understand the procedures and work hard~"

*Time skip*

I swear to God I have no idea what I'm doing here and what the hell is going on, this woman explained so much stuff that school didn't in twelve years that my brain is literally breaking down, so much information and I can't store it because this darn woman speaks too fast, speaks too much stuff and I can't process "So, did you got the general idea? of how everything works and what you have to do in general?" yeah.. totally.. I'm going to be the best engineer around these parts ma'am "A bit, some things are confusing but I think I can handle it.." she nods, folding her arms behind her "Oho~ I suppose time will tell. Do not disappoint me yes? work hard~".

She placed some sort of nametag on my shirt and I look confused at her "That's for being an employee here.. do not worry it's not gonna harm ya" alright..? I guess I'm starting right off the bat first day "Oh yeah.. if something weird happens do not hesitate to tell me, some employees reported strange anomalies around here. so if you see something tell me about it okay?" I just nod my head as she smiles warmly at me, she proceeds to walk off and I sigh "What in the world does she mean by that... do the employers get quirky at night? tsk... I better recap whatever this woman just told me a minute ago..." ah yes... the wonders of life... waking up, work, get back and repeat for for decades or so. Life sure is strange...
