11 Practice? (1/2)

[Aren't you going to practice the walking skill that I had just provided?] Avian's voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere startling Marcel.

'Eh?' Marcel said after a short pause that was hardly noticeable.

[You need to practice. Taking part in Sherry's project would give you exposure and if you introduce yourself as a model you should atleast have mastered the basics] Avian reasoned out.

'You have a point. How long will it take for me to master this?' Marcel asked curiously.

[Since you are already provided with a lot of information on the subject it will take approximately twenty day to master this if you invest at least two hours of practice everyday. The greater your daily investment the shorter the time] Avian explained.

'Isn't two weeks a bit too much? What if I want to master a skill immediately?' Marcel asked.

[Once you reach the level of an upgrade you be provided with a space within the system where you can practice that will cut down the time by a quarter] Avian explained.

'So you'll reduce my time by three days?' Marcel asked with a frown.

[Of course this is the prerequisite that you practice the skills that have been given to you in the system space] Avian replied.

”System space? That's actually a thing?' Marcel asked in excitement.

[Yes, but it will take a lot of work from you for me to develop to optimum functionality. ] Avian neutrally explained.

'So if I continue upgrading that would mean that you would upgrade resulting to more benefits on my behalf?' arcel asked again.

[That is the case] Avian replied flatly.

'Oh, then i'll just practice as I get everything else done' Marcel said and proceeded to walk out of the studio.

[Are you starting now?] Avian asked in confusion.

'Yes' Marcel answered proudly.

[Then can you atleast make an effort? Your overall posture is deplorable] Avian commented.

'What do you mean? I was always complimented for my walk. In the historical movies I was in, when I played models, I was always complimented!' Marcel said defensively.

[You are now a man, whatever was flattering then is not flattering now. You acted as a female model, it is very easy to look appealing while walking when you are woman because of the way that female bodies are shaped, but now you have wider shoulders, a flatter stomach, a broader back, a slightly thicker waist and slim hips. On top of that, you are taller than you were before by almost ten inches. You used to walk around while twisting your waist and swinging your hips. You can't do that anymore, otherwise people will misunderstand you.] Avian said bluntly bursting Marcel's bubble.

Marcel was not expecting to be put in place with Avian reminding him that he was now a man and all the feminine gestures he had learned in the past would not be too flattering to the image he was trying to develop.

'Ah,' Marcel exclaimed as if he just attained a form of enlightenment.
