After Michael accompanied the girls to dinner, he returned to his room and threw himself on his bed.
He slightly moved her body with his gaze to the ceiling, she closed her eyes and lost herself in the thoughts of him.
Michael, he was remembering Lilith's words about Maki. 'What I can do?' 'If she knows the truth, what would she think?' Those were some of the questions he asked himself.
After a few minutes, Michael slowly sat on his bed trying to dispel those thoughts for the moment because when it happens, he will only have to tell the truth.
"For the moment I will put those worries aside" Michael told himself.
"System, let me see the descriptions of the skills and items that I got in the lottery." Michael said.
"Got it" answered the system and brought up a virtual screen.
Michael started reading the descriptions of his new abilities and items.
---------------------
* Energy Control Skill: allows the user to improve in the manipulation of various types of energy (chakra, Qi, mana)
* Basketball skills (intermediate range): The user learns the knowledge and skills of the sport. It consists of types of dribbles, shots (short and long distance), types of passes, feints, among other skills.
* Technique of handling daggers (intermediate range): The user learns all kinds of knowledge about handling daggers. This technique is the compilation of different martial schools. It is used especially for assassinations and close-range fighting.
* Driving ability (master rank): the user learns various knowledge in the handling of various means of transport, be it: cars, airplanes, ships, etc.
* Celestial Steps (Unlocked 1/7): movement technique that allows the user to move a certain distance from one place to another with high speed and strength. The technique consists of 7 steps, the higher the step number, the greater the distance, speed and strength.
--------------
'Mm ... Power control, huh? I basically understand the concept 'thought michael and continued to review.
"What good skills, they can serve me a lot from now on. Basketball skills can help me in school competitions. And with the dagger technique, it increased my fighting arsenal a bit. But what worries me the most ... "Michael muttered but when he read the last skill he didn't think it would be sealed and he could only use the first step.
"System, why is it that the Skill Steps is only unlocked one?" He asked him confused.
"Because the host level is low, for security reasons, the system only unlocked the first step. Since if you use it fully, your body may not withstand the amount of power and it will self-destruct." He answered the system by arguing the skill disadvantage.
"But ... my body is not able to withstand it? Michael asked.
"No, it's like using your 'Eight Inner Gates' Skill but the recovery would increase by 1 year to use the Heavenly Steps again. On the contrary, when you use the 'Eight Inner Gates', your body will be at rest for a month. . " The system responded.
After listening to the system's response, Michael now knows what the consequences are.
"Hmmm ...." Michael thought for a few moments. "System, at what level could I unlock the second step?"
"The second step will be unlocked when the user reaches level 10" replied the system.
"Why level 10?" Michael asked, his expression confused.
"Because the system went into update mode for two days and the host reached level 10, his stats would be a bit higher, giving him the ability to resist the backlash from the second step" replied the system.
"Wait!" Michael was surprised and asked with emotion visible in his voice: "Did you say it would go into update mode? I mean, does the system update every 10 levels?"
"No, there will be times when the system can be updated every 20 or 30 levels or maybe more. From what can be said that it is random, only that the first update occurs at level 10" replied the system, destroying false hopes from Michael who expected that every 10 levels the system can be updated.
"Wow ... But that's fine"
Michael was not discouraged to learn that the updates are random, on the contrary, he was happy that perhaps each update brings new features.
'Well now I know the system has future updates' he thought in his mind. So he decided to review the items that he obtained.
----------------
* Senzu beans: allows the person who consumes it, heal from all wounds and injuries suffered. In addition, to replace the energy consumed.
* Phoenix tear: It is a liquid that can instantly heal injuries, reaching the point that an amputated limb can be repositioned (it does not restore blood or lost organs).
* Storage rings (2 M2): It is an object that has its own interior space formed by some matrices. This object is the cheapest and most common. It has a space of 2M2.
* Ferrari GT 296: Luxury car of the Italian brand Ferrari.
--------------
"Senzu beans from DBZ" he muttered and lost himself in nostalgia. He remembered that year where he locked himself in his room watching anime and DBZ is one of his favorite anime. He didn't last long in thoughts of him and he kept looking at the other items.
"Phoenix tears?. It is a good object, just like Senzu beans, it also has the ability to heal wounds but it is much better since it can reconnect lost limbs" Michael agreed with a happy expression on his face as he obtained good things.
Before Michael can celebrate for the things he got from the lottery, he had to endure the pain he felt for those special eyes. So he didn't give him time to check because Lilith took him upstairs to spend time with the girls.
"Let's keep looking ..." Michael continued checking "storage rings .. It is not much use to me since I have the inventory of the system. They are the same functions but the space inside the system is greater than the ring. I better give them to the girls because they can serve him "murmured Michael
Michael read the last item he got and was happy to get a free luxury car, but not just any car brand but a Ferrari.
"Ferrari! ... Oh! Oh!" Michael got up on the bed and started dancing because of how happy he was. Since he was a fan of this brand and imagine that he would make a person in his place when he got a free luxury car.
After a couple of minutes of celebrating, Michael threw himself onto his bed with a happy expression.
'I got good things, some skills and items could serve me very well in the worlds I travel because it will be full of dangers. Although I am confident that I will win if I use all my abilities to the fullest, I still must not trust myself. ' he thought.
After a while, Michael got up from his bed and left the room to head to the balcony for some fresh air and to take in what he got from the lottery.
-------------
Michael stood on the balcony, took a deep breath and calmed his mind. He looked up at the night sky that was full of stars at the top, losing himself again in his thoughts. This time of nostalgia, as he remembered that moment when he and his mother looked into the night sky in his house from his previous world. Because when they did that, he helped them calm their mind of whatever problems there were, making them forget.
Michael was so engulfed in the memories of him, that he did not feel when a person approached him and stopped next to him, looking at him.
Then the person spoke with a soft and calm voice that made Michael snap out of his nostalgia and look at her.
"Maki ..." Michael muttered softly when he saw the person next to him. Although he was surprised that she was awake, he didn't show it in her expression.
"Michael-san, what are you doing out here when it's really cold? You're going to catch a cold!" Maki said with a little concern in her voice.
"I was looking at the night sky. Before I go to sleep, I always come to look at the stars in the sky because it helps me relax my mind" replied Michael, looking at her.
"I see" Maki agreed with understanding.
"And you? What are you doing up at this time? I thought I was resting" Michael said but his gaze had already changed from her to the night sky to keep looking at the stars but he himself was avoiding looking at her since he remembered the words of Lilith.
"I woke up because I was a little thirsty. So I went to the kitchen to drink water but when I was going to enter the room to continue sleeping, I saw you on the balcony" Maki replied with a soft voice.
".... I understand" Michael nodded and both people fell silent after staring at the stars until Maki broke the silent atmosphere.
"Michael-san!" Maki spoke with a loud voice as if she was calling him to pay attention but it was the opposite, since inside her she was very nervous.
Maki's face was red as she had gathered a bit of courage thanks to her recalling the conversations Lilith and Nephilim had with her.
So, even though she is not very good at expressing her feelings, she decided to gather up the courage to be able to confess her love to the person she likes and called him saying her name.
" Yes?" Michael turned her head away from her and looked at her, he realized what Maki wanted to do but he didn't stop her. And he made up his mind that if she confesses, he would be honest with her, telling her her biggest secret and waiting for her to decide what to do.
The seconds ticked by, the seconds turned into a few minutes and Michael kept staring at her until he saw her lift her head from her until he looked into those violet eyes of Maki.
Maki mustered up his courage and lifted her head to meet Michael's gaze. Slowly and passionately, Maki expressed her sincerest feelings.
"Michael-san ....., I like you" Maki said with a soft voice full of love, her face flushed. She looked him in the eye, waiting for an answer.
