Chapter 106 - 106. First Training Day (1/2)

In the next day,

Mack woke up, still feeling a bit dizzy, opened his eyes and stood up. Walked to the bathroom of the room, took a shower and cleaned himself, and when leaving the bathroom, he saw an old man waiting for him.

”Geez, you scared the shit out of me.”

Said Mack, caught unprepared for that bald head.

[Stop joking, today is the first day of your training, get dressed and we will leave]

”Ok Ok”

Said Mack, already grabbing his clothes by the side of the bed.

The girl had left a long time ago.

Seeing Mack dressed, with his backpack, and the two swords, the old opened the door..

”By the way.... How did you get in?”

Asked Mack, not sure how this old man entered his locked room.

He was sure he locked the door after the girl left.

[You still ask those kinds of questions? Kid, you need to stop thinking like a mortal from Earth. There is nothing impossible in this 'new world', Essence makes even miracles come true]

Said the old man, leaving the room.

Mack stood there thinking for a second and then followed Harlack.

But taking the elevator, instead of pressing the lobby button, the old man pressed the second floor button.

Mack wondered what this old man was doing. Did he forget which one was the correct floor?

Mack was about to touch the lobby button, but Harlack's voice came.

[We are not going to leave the hotel for now]

Mack retracted his hand and waited to see what the old man was planning.

~ting~

The elevator stopped, and the doors opened, and Mack could peek through it that the entire floor was a huge training facility.

”What if I had chosen one of those poor inns made of woods?”

[Kid, do you really believe that a place like this would be empty all day? And the receptionist would do any kind of request you had just because you were a client?]

”Well, it's strange indeed, but what those have to do with my question?”

Asked Mack, not sure why the old man said that.

[Kid, do you really believe that I'm so poor that I would rent a place to sleep? On a planet like this? One of the things I had to 'do' yesterday.... Was to buy this very same hotel]

Said the old man walking forward.

[By the time you came, I was already the new owner and had them informed about your arrival... You are too predictable. Of course you would choose a place that is like a hotel from Earth...]

”So that's how you entered my room!!! It has nothing to do with Essence!”

Seeing he was caught in his lies, the old man quickly tried to change subject, but Mack remembered the girl ask 'how many days he would stay'.....
