Chapter 828 - Training Room
Chapter 828 – Training Room
They reached floor 37th soon and found Stella staring at a big screen.
It turned out to be the room where Agata trained herself. The room alone took half of the floor while the rest was used for other offices to monitor the simulation room.
As soon as they entered, Stella immediately recognized them and widened her eyes. "Ah, you've arrived."
"Mom." Maya nodded with a smile before glancing at the screen. "She's been doing it for a while?"
"Indeed."
"What's the level?"
"This room is for Control and Breathing, so we mostly supply the Magic Power… It's medium right now."
Theo looked at the screen of Agata moving around as though she was dancing. However, he could see that Agata was following the movement of Magic Power to comprehend it.
"Unlike this one, the room for Awareness is filled with Magic Power and random objects or enemies. It's going to be dangerous. Although it's only an illusion, it'll still transmit a certain amount of pain. Are you prepared for that?"
"Pain huh…" Theo chuckled. "I'm not afraid of pain."
"So manly." Stella whistled playfully. "Though, you shouldn't underestimate the pain. As she said earlier, there will be enemies or objects trying to kill you. This is to increase your instinct along with the senses.
"For example, you can use your vision to increase your reaction speed, your touch to destroy the illusion, your taste to predict the appearance of your enemies, your smell to follow the movement of the Magic Power, and your hearing to locate your enemies.
"In other words, this room is forcing you to utilize all your senses, and due to the huge amount of Magic Power inside, you can comprehend your Awareness faster.
"But if the objects or enemies hit you, the pain will be transmitted to your brain. This will allow us to measure your current performance as well." Stella explained.
"I understand." Theo nodded with a serious expression. "Also, I can't use my power, right?"
"Yeah. I don't want this place to be destroyed." Stella confirmed it.
"Good enough for me. As long as I can get stronger…"
"In that case, follow me. We can wait upstairs." Maya suggested before asking, "What are you going to do, Mom?"
"I'll be with her this time." Stella pointed at Agata. "We'll visit you after the girl finishes her training."
"Alright. We're upstairs." Maya acknowledged her words and asked Theo to follow her.
Since there was nothing to do, Theo followed her and waited right in front of his room.
Before entering, Theo changed his clothes into tight leather clothes that seemed to have been modified to work together with the simulation room.
After that, a middle-aged man greeted them. He had long white hair and aged eyes even though he wasn't supposed to be that old yet.
"Hello, Miss Maya. And I believe this is Theodore Griffith, right?"
"Yeah." Maya nodded. "Can you give us a rundown for this?"
"Understood." The middle-aged man pointed at the room. "We have four settings here. The density of Magic Power, the difficulty, the pain level, and the terrain. No need to think about the last one.
"Anyway, we have ten levels for each setting. The higher the level, the denser the Magic Power, the faster and the more enemies or objects that will appear, and the more pain you would feel.
"If the Magic Power is too dense, you will be uncomfortable. The same applies to the difficulty and the pain level. So, I suggest you start first from level 1 and go all the way to level 10 since we don't have any prior data about you. How about it?"
"You're the expert. I'll leave it to you." Theo agreed without hesitation. After all, he didn't know much about this thing.
"Alright. All you need to do inside this room is to not move away from the center while dodging everything that comes at you. Of course, you need to polish your own Awareness while doing so."
"Understood. Is there anything else?"
"Nope. We'll just discuss it with you if something comes up. If you have any weird feelings or experience something unusual, do call us too. It's for the improvement of this room. We can hear your voice, so no need to hesitate."
"Got it."
"Alright. Please enter the room. It's already active, but we need to wait for another three minutes."
"Okay." Theo turned to Maya and nodded his head.
Maya waved her hand with a smile. "I'll be watching you from here, Mr. Genius."
Theo entered the room, inspected the interior, and realized it was just a plain white room.
Still, he could feel the dense Magic Power brushing his skin. It was even thicker than the area around the cities on the other side.
"Hmm…" Theo narrowed his eyes and stood in the middle of the room.
"First, we're going to change the terrain." Greg's voice echoed inside the room before the white room turned into a desert with no end.
He knew this was just an illusion like his own illusion, so there was no reaction from here. He only made sure that he was standing on top of a smooth circular rock that seemed to be the 'circle' he was talking about.
"Alright. Everything has been standing by in level 1. We'll start in two minutes. How do you feel right now? Is the Magic Power too dense?"
"No, it's fine," Theo assured him while closing his eyes for a moment.
"Okay. You're free to destroy anything that comes at you. But don't use your power since we don't want you to destroy this place."
"Got it." Theo took a deep breath and prepared his mind.
While Theo prepared his heart, Greg looked at Maya.
"How far do you think he will stop?"
"I'm not sure. Since he's a Supreme Rank Expert, it should be around level 4-8, maybe level 5. The last two levels are built for Mythical Rank Expert after all."
"Sounds about right." Maya nodded. "Though, I believe his score will be pretty high."
"Oh, Miss Maya has such a high opinion about him."
"He's stronger than me even without his clone."
"I see. It'll be interesting data then."
"Start it."
"Understood." Greg acknowledged her order and informed Theo, "We will start in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1… Go!"
