The next day Flint wakes up energetic, he goes to check on Licia and sees her as chirpy as ever. He smiles warmly as his thought escapes his lips, "I can get satisfied just from seeing my sunshine. All the world's hunger can be cure from seeing her."
He hears a voice behind him, "Good, then I'll leave your lunch home today." Flint is shocked to see it's his elder sister, Aku behind him also spying on Licia.
Flint is broken, "Wait! Not lunch!" Aku giggles, "Hahaha, here you go Filly." She drops the lunchbox on his head. Flint catches it and gave his sister a kiss on the cheek, "You're the best!" he says running out to meet his father to head to the farm and Aku replies as he leaves, "I know." Aku got back to work around the house.
Flint and his father reached the farm like any other day and worked from morning till noon then they rested. He finally spoke to his father, "Dad, I'd like to spend some time with Twenny."
John is elated, "Oh, we're done with work so you can go, I'll handle watering the plant. Just ask her on a date and I'll let you off tomorrow too." He smiles.
Flint smiles wryly, Ehehehe, I'll think about it. Thanks Dad." He got up and left, leaving his Dad in the hut, "So sad he can't appreciate the diamond before him and is chasing polished iron. Youth *Sighs*"
Flint left the farm and walks back to the village, on his way he wondered how he'll ask her to take him to her cave. System DC said he shouldn't draw too much attention because he is weak so he has to be subtle.
He practices his lines, "Hello Twenny, would you mind showing me you cave?....No, Twenny I'm curious about the cave you use to live in, can you show me there?..... No, how about- "He kept on practicing with gestures, Twenny is watching him through System DC since she's his handler. She's in her house on her bed watching, "So sad. I'll just meet him outside and tell him I'm going to the cave to get some stuff I forgot." She leaves her house and meets Flint just as he is about to enter the village.
Flint brightens up from seeing, "Oh, Mysterious Girl, where're you off to?" he stands before her but didn't know how to ask. Twenny smiles raising a brow, "I'm off to the cave, wanna tag along, Farm Boy?" She suggested as she walks.
Flint is surprised, "Huh...uh….ye….I mean sure." And with that they leave together towards the cave, the cave is to the east from the village. It takes them about an hour to reach the place. Flint tries to make small talks about city life since he thinks Twenny is from a city. She responds every question of his with an answer, which Flint thinks are lies. Afterall humans can't travel from 1 country to another in mere hours. And there's no such thing as carriages without horses.
They arrive at the cave, it's more like a house than cave. There's a great amount of EP crystallized herbs that Twenny is considering making his next mission. They enter the cave, it isn't that bad, there were bones, a curtain and bed of leaves. But it's habitable, it's a good thing Flint didn't recognize the bones inside as dragon bones.
Flint observes all the 'animal' bones, "You hunted a lot." he pointed to the bones.
Twenny shrugs, "Well, I have to eat." But in her mind, "Not really, the dragon refused to share the cave. Killed it, broke the bones." and she continues, "I came for to take this." She puts her hand under the bed as a book appears in her hand from her inventory. "I forgot this."
Flint stares at Twenny, "Wooaaahh, a magic tome." he has starry eyes again.
Twenny chuckles, "You're too easily impressed." she raises a brow as she turns to him. Flint squints his mouth, "Hey, I live in a village." he shrugged. Twenny waves the book before him, "Wanna read it?" she offers it to him.
Flint rubs his head with a wry smile, "Maybe later, I'd like to rest a bit." He can't read.
Twenny nods, "Alright, I'll wait outside." She knows exactly what is going on so she leaves him alone in the cave but she is watching on her own screen.
Flint goes to a corner beside the dragon bones to avoid spies. The dragon bones had skill orbs remaining in the soil, 3 in total since Twenny had no use for them and kept them there for fun….After ripping them out of the dragon's soul.

Flint listens to the word, "Okay." He goes to the bones since he thinks it's a comfortable place to sit. As he sits down, he feels a warm tingle in himself as the color of his eyes has a silver glow.
In his soul space, the cube with many dimensions is floating in the dark space. A miniature Flint is below it though that Flint didn't move. Lightening flickers of the cube and touches miniature Flint. The EP/Energy/Mana around him starts to gather into his body. The cells in his body when zoomed in as you could see the EP crystals entering each cell in his body.
After 5 minutes there is a change, as the 3 skill orbs of the dragon turns into lights and are absorbed into his body. He didn't know until finally a screen is projected before him.

Flint is surprised, "What's all this?" he hasn't seen so many things displayed at once. He keeps trying to touch the screen.
