The Author's POV

'”Bang!

"Guuuh..."

A pained groan escaped from my lips as I crashed against the side of the wall. I opened my eyes with some difficulty. My entire body ached.

"Not bad, you lasted one more minute compared to last time"

On the other side of the room, Donna tied up her hair. Staring at me she smacked her lips. It was a habit of hers that came out whenever she was satisfied.

"Miss, what do you suggest is the best way I can improve my strength faster?"

Recovering a little, I sat up and spoke up.

After the fight with Thibaut back at the banquet, I had come to a powerful realization.

I was weak.

Purely based on my fighting strength alone, I was far from where I should be. I urgently needed to improve the mastery of my arts.

They were the foundation of my strength.

Unfortunately, I did not have a lot of time.

With everything that I needed to do, I couldn't focus as much on training as I used to.

From handling the mercenary group stuff, the company, studying for classes, and the many other things, I couldn't train as hard as before.

I needed to increase my efficiency. I needed to find a way to train faster.

Unaware of my circumstances, Donna thought for a moment before speaking up, "Train faster? You're already improving much faster than other people at the moment. Why do you want to improve faster? If you want to increase your rank, take a potion or an earthly treasure"

Donna paused and shook her head. Walking over to the side of the room, Donna took a white towel and sat down.

"However, I suggest against doing so. For one, it's really expensive, and two it can only be used on rare occasions. There's a chance you might get a backlash or it could even stunt your talent limit"

If too many potions and natural treasures were consumed there was a chance that they could permanently damage someone's body beyond repair.

If such a situation happened then there was no longer a chance for them to become stronger.

That was why most people didn't just stuff themselves with potions and earthly treasures. It did more harm than good.

"If you're looking it at from purely from a skill perspective then the answer is easy. Just go to the time regressor machine and hone your skills there. It's the perfect place to practice your skills"

"...ah, that"

My mouth twitched. I almost forgot about this.

With me being so busy and those bastards monopolizing the place I still did not have a chance to use that place.

Had I been able to use that place, then perhaps I would've been stronger than now.

"You better get going, classes will start in half an hour"

Checking her watch Donna spoke up. It was already 9:30 A.M, and classes were about to start soon.

In response, I stood up and patted my clothes.

"Fair enough"

"Oh right, before you go, I've got some good news for you"

Suddenly, Donna recalled something.

Tapping on her watch, she scrolled through a couple of files. After a few scrolls, she stopped at a specific file.

"Good news?"

My interest instantly piqued. Who didn't like good news?

"Mhm, congratulations"

"Congratulations, for what?"

I was instantly confused. Did I win something? I don't recall ever doing something that warranted an award. Noticing my confusion, Donna shook her head and explained.

"You have been accepted to the Leviathan building. You can move in by as soon as next week"

"Leviathan building, next week?"

I was instantly taken aback.
