"Come by again sometime, preferably to my club at school," Louis gave the second chart of destiny—so he took the liberty to call his scribbles—to the young junior.
She took the paper and looked down at it with clear astonishment as she exclaimed, "The rumors are true! How did you do it? Is it some kind of a super power?"
Louis smiled. "Perhaps, just drop by a few more times to figure it out."
Louis nursed his forehead in his hands after he finished talking, shaking his head.
He worked his spirit body too much today, and he felt like he wasn't far from experiencing full fatigue and a collaps.
The junior blinked and thought to herself, Is it really so tiring? He looks so exhausted, probably ten times more exhausted than me.
She hugged the bottle of mineral water, stood up, and thanked Louis before leaving the study.
Once the door was closed, Louis also closed his eyes and rested on the desk. Before he knew it, he was already snoring lightly in his sleep.
"Senior seemed very tired…"
"It's fine, you can go down first."
Two distinct voices sounded from behind the door. Then, Kayla opened the door and looked inside, very interested to try out a session on her own.
However, she quickly realized that Louis had fallen asleep on the desk.
She was stunned, a similar question echoed in her head.
She felt like she now understood why he limited himself to seeing three people per day—whatever his technique was, it was obviously taxing on the mind.
Part of her felt guilty, but even more of her felt curious.
Nonetheless, she decided to give Kaz downstairs a heads up on her way out and talk to Louis tomorrow instead.
After the girls left, Kaz went up to the study helped Louis lean on his shoulder as he carried him to the master bedroom.
Kaz found Louis to be a little heavy but not to a troublesome point, and soon, the lights in the house went off and the two were asleep.

Dream Points +90
Points Balance: 145P
Louis woke up the next morning, but what caught his attention was the next notification on the connections catalog.
Kayal's image was flashing, and the impression bar was at %100.
Then, he realized that nurturing an impression to %100 might be easier than he thought.
"Eh? Harry's impression is at 67% already?"
Louis noticed a familiar face jumping up the ranks, and he curiously inspected the little briefing.
[Whenever I bring Louis up in a conversation with Julie, her reaction makes me feel uneasy. His changes are just as unsettling as well. These two might be hiding something from me, but I can't find anything on him…]
"So his impression is a mix of doubt, anger, and some trepidation?" Louis thought about it.
If nothing goes wrong, Harry would try to get in a session with him in the therapy club.
With that in mind, Louis checked his phone for messages, and he quickly found a message from Harry.
To not mix personal and official business, Louis noted that booking a session only works through regular SMS messages, not social media apps.
As expected, he did send apply for a session.
However, Louis was glad to find at least twenty more ahead of him.
If he calculated things correctly in his mind, by the time Harry came to see him, the relationship would be at its limits.
Although he wanted to strike the iron while it's hot, Louis had the intuition that after collecting six more seeds, the system would upgrade.
Thus, he wanted to save on as many points as he could.
At most, hen would occasionally construct a wet dream for Julie and Emma without his active participation, as it could net him a few more points.
A few is better than nothing, and it would also help keep him in their minds.
Like that, a few days went by with nothing of particular importance taking place.
Louis began to experiment more with Fairy, particularly about her first appearance as an astral projection in the real world.
He was curious whether or not cameras and certain instruments can spot her, and her answer was that it was just a matter of thought.
If he wanted the astral projection to reflect light on the electromagnetic spectrum, it was easy. If he was proficient enough, he could decide which instruments can detect bodies of astral projection and which cannot.
Fairy could easily take a form unseen by modern observation tools, and she claimed that although Louis proficiency at controlling dream energy was bad, he only needed to provide the energy for the system and she would do the rest.
While Louis would love to practice with the practical application of dream points, Fairy was right.
It was a waste of time.
Louis reputation began to shift for the better with one session after the next, and as he helped many people tide over difficulties in their lives, impression bars were filled one after another.
Wednesday through Friday, he managed to collect four more dream seeds, making it a total of nine seeds—three active and six inactive.
The active seeds were planted on Emma, Julie, and his teacher Laura.
Louis had yet to determine the candidates for the other six, because his intuition told him that he needed ten active seeds to gather sufficient energy for the system's upgrade.
However, he wasn't in a rush.
Kaz's sister was about to be discharged from the hospital and Louis was about to start his night shifts as a valet in J's Den.
As far as he was concerned, the candidates for his dream seeds are about to surface, and he wanted to make the best of his options.
Following Kaz's advice, he was ready to "butter up" and "get cozy" with powerful widows who dug up the fortunes of their late husbands.
Such women are usually under the most stress as they had to deal with the stink eye from step-children and scornful in-laws.
They come over to feel better and relax, and Louis had just the right medicine.
Saturday morning, Louis and Kaz left the house early at noon.
Their destination was the hospital—it was time to bring the lass to her new home.
