"Yes!" Miller shouted as he jumped up like a kid with joy.
"Dude." Alex said a little embarrassed by Miller's recent childish behaviour.
"Just let him." Watson said.
Watson could guess why Miller was happy. It was because Miller was one weak. But right now due to the System, he is getting stronger and real quick.
The first thing Miller wanted to do right now was jump into the Construct Forge and meet Xentor and train immediately.

"Why" Miller said to the System inside his head.
"First thing first, Miller the Construct Forge isn't an ability or skill that belongs to you. It belongs to me, the only thing it requires is a good mental state from you." The System said. "For you to enter the Construct Forge it needs my approval and right now I deny it. The quest I gave you is too important."
"Damn You!" Miller shouted at the System.
The System didn't reply. It just kept it to himself as he understood why Miller was angry, although he gave Miller a glimpse of what the powers could do.

"Wow." Miller said. He now understood why the System wanted him to get the Shadow Devourer skill first. It would help him greatly after all.
Looking at his roommates, he decided to use his shadow Devourer on them. Although their shadows weren't that visible. He still tried.
[Shadow Devourer Not Successfully]
[The user has to learn how to perform it from Xentor]
Miller let out a big sigh. He then went on to explain to his roommates about his new powers and how it would affect what the System refers to as Shadow Points.
*******
Moments later at around 9PM. Miller, Alex and Watson left their rooms and was heading to meet Selena. Using his X-ray, Miller knew the exact room Selena was in.
Watson sat a bench close to the area and would inform them through the digital watch if he saw anyone heading that direction. Alex on the other hand was to stand by the door and inform Miller from the inside. With his super hearing, he would be able to detect anybody that is coming that way and inform Miller from the inside.
*Knock Knock
Miller knocked Selena's door. He didn't knock aggressively, nor did he knock it too loud to draw attention.
The doors were opened and Selena could be seen smiling. She was dressed in her night outfit and her cleavage was even showing.
"Hi, Miller, come on in." Selena said looking at Miller.
Miller entered, but Alex didn't. "What of you?" She said looking at Alex.
"Don't worry, I am good." Alex replied.
The doors where closed and Selena turned and looked at Miller. She folded her hand and looked at him seriously.
"Miller, have you seen Tyler Paul." She said. "He didn't come back to the Shelter after he came to see you in this school."
Miller: "He left without even telling me a goodbye."
Selena sighed, "wherever he is. I just hope he is fine. What do you even want?"
"I have a question to ask you." Miller said. "May I?"
"As long as it is not something confidential." Selena replied.
"It's about Kalzifrax." Miller said.
"That wicked bastard." Selena mumbled.
But as she raised her head to explain to Miller. Two of his fingers had already touched her forehead.
