The next day, I woke up feeling fresh and excited.
I'd finally checked one thing off my long list of goals before I could start grinding levels.
Now, all that was left were… a defensive skill, a movement skill, learning how to actually use a staff, learning a staff-based ability, figuring out the Apex Body passive and experimenting with the purple Essence.
I stared at the ceiling and let out a long sigh.
"If I finish all this, I'm giving myself a promotion."
Today was the first day I would be part of the regular training sessions with the rest of Unit 02.
I rushed through my morning routine like a man on a mission—showered, changed, brushed, all in record time.
By seven in the morning, I stood in front of the mirror, dressed in my uniform, making sure I looked decent enough.
Before heading out, I picked up my phone to check for messages. There was one from North, a reply to the food picture I had sent her last night.
"Copycat. You're boring."
I blinked at the screen.
