Time pa.s.sed and after dozens of minutes, Fell was standing in front of an emerald-colored door. He gazed at the craftsmanship of the door and his hand traced all over the ornaments. The more he watched it, the more he became impressed by the number of details that were on the door. Some might think it was just a simple door, but strangely he couldn"t take his eyes out of the metallic object as he quite liked the shape of it. On his side, Tahlya ignored him as it wasn"t the first time she saw him act like this, she simply stood by the side and waited. After a few minutes, she noticed that Fell had finished, she swiped the magnetic card on a line that could be seen on the door and a green light appeared in the middle of the construct.After dozens of mechanical clicks resounded through the silent corridor, the door opened in front of them revealing the large room"s interior. The first thing he saw was the floor that looked similar to wood, but as he stepped on it he immediately knew that the density of the material wasn"t wood. Or it wasn"t any kind of wood he had seen during his life. While he was focused on it, he noticed traces of heaven and earth energy on the material. Although the traces were spa.r.s.e and couldn"t be theoretically used to cultivate, he was sure that the material wasn"t the source of the energy that was still around.
As he advanced a little bit inside the large room. The first thing that came to his view was the large bed on the corner, followed by what seemed to be another bed. Yet this bed wasn"t made of soft material and he thought that it wouldn"t be very comfortable to sleep on it. "Why are there two beds?", he mumbled under his breath but his sentence still entered Tahlya"s ears. She cracked a laugh before explaining. "That"s not a bed Fell. Remember the thing you used in the tutorial room?", she asked in a helpless tone.
"You mean the cerebral link that is used to log in the game?", he asked as his eyes glowed from excitement. The difference between the two was like Heaven and Earth, he didn"t even manage to recognize the object as they had nothing similar. If the one in the tutorial room was similar to a rectangular steel plate, then this one had much more details and reminded Fell of the hover pods that the n.o.ble families flew on.
Yet those weren"t the only detail as the room was fully equipped with a kitchen, and there was even a bathroom in case he needed to clean himself and relax. He sighed at the money Battle League"s owner invested and couldn"t help but imagine if there were better rooms in the other battle centers.
"I"ll meditate a little bit before logging in.", he exclaimed as he jumped on the bed. "By the way, is there a way to only get matched with the user of this battle center?", he asked as an idea popped in his mind.
"This option does exist.", Tahlya responded as she sat on the couch. "Why would you need that feature? I mean, don"t you already have access to better opponents in the tutorial"s second phase?", she asked while finding it odd.
"I want to warm up before fighting those monsters.", he said without further explanation. As he closed his eyes, another idea flashed in his brain. His hand moved toward his eyebrows and focused slightly. s.p.a.ce fluctuated in front of him and he took out a piece of paper and a pencil from his spatial pocket. He wrote a sentence on the paper before giving it to Tahlya, he added as he saw her confusion. "Please do me this favor?", he said before closing his eyes and focusing his senses on his body.
Not even a split second after that he heard a scream pierce through his ears, but he acted as if he heard nothing and simply kept his eyes closed. After a few minutes of rambling and howling, Tahlya finally left the room after stomping the ground several times. After he heard the door close and felt that she wasn"t there anymore, he sighed as he told himself that women were definitely crazy creatures. "I knew that she would react that way, but it"s the fastest way I found to gather opponent…", he thought while thinking about what happened in the reception hall. "They wanted Tahlya. Well, I"ll let them have that opportunity. But it will in the end, it still only depends on their own skills.", he thought before focusing on meditating.
Soon enough he fell in a deep meditative state, and he lost track of his surroundings due to his will focusing too much on his own body. The room disappeared from his thoughts, followed by the battle center where he stood then it was the whole city that disappeared. Nothing mattered anymore and the only thing that mattered to his mind was his revolving spirit. Minutes pa.s.sed then it was hours before he was finally woken up by a noise in the large room.
He opened his eyes and gazed at the large emerald-colored door, he pondered on who it might be as he doubted that Tahlya would come back this soon. Then he saw a piece of paper slide under the door, a surprised look appeared on his face and he recognized the piece of paper he gave Tahlya. He jumped from his bed as his body"s articulation produced popping sound, before swiftly traversing the room in a split second. He crouched and grabbed the piece of paper before looking at the door as he felt that the person was still standing there, he shook his head before opening to read the paper.
It was the message he had written. The only difference was another message written with a blood-red marker.
