Energy Cells

Leo checked the time, and it was [10:10] PM. He didn't get surprised, and just slept on his bed. Unknown to him that his battles were getting his spectators rich.

Time passed and eventually they woke up, Fred's eyes were filled with shock when he saw Leo.

'In just one night he went to the second level?'.

Fred asked, "Leo, how did you increase your level in just three months?".

Leo pondered for a bit and answered, "I didn't do it in three months...".

Fred felt relieved, but what Leo said right after shocked him even more.

"I did in two nights, but how did you know I started cultivating three months ago?", asked Leo.

Fred heard him and nearly went pale, but then he thought 'Why am I afraid? Doesn't Auntie dote on Leo?'.

Fred spoke, "Aunt Lenny told me that you started three months ago". Then Fred's face instantly went pale, 'Why did I call her Aunt Lenny'.

Leo found it suspicious, and thus he asked "Why did you call my Aunt, Aunt Lenny?".

Fred thought up a lie, "She already looks like an Aunt so I did".

Leo looked agitated, and decided to ask him once again "Why do you think she looks like an Aunt even though she looks younger than my Mom?".

Leo's Mom was already in her thirties, well at least thats what Leo thinks. But Leo's Mom, herself looks like a lady in her early twenties.

Fred stuttered, "Uhh... Err...".

"Fine you don't have to tell me now, I'll just ask Aunt Lenny in the future", said Leo with a smile.

"Well let's go to the cafeteria".

Time passed and it was finally the time to test their mechs.

Before in the warehouse, there were only two towering mechs and a three small mechs. Now there were three more tall and ominous mechs arrived.

With a bright smile on his face, Leo excitedly rushed to the crimson red mech.

Fred walked towards the ocean blue mech, which had some type of orb that continuously floated around it's enormous body.

Sandra walked towards a jet black mech which had silver lines spreading all over it's head down to his legs.

Therion and Hugh went inside the warehouse, and he saw Leo. Therion thought that something was different about him, but he just couldn't wrap his mind around it.

A familiar voice spoke behind them, "It seems that the mechs have arrived, now it's time to start storing your world energy on these Energy Cells".

Leo and the other two turned around to see who it was, and it was none other than Therion, behind him was Hugh. On Therion's hand was something similar to a silver can, on it several blue lines glowed.

Sandra took the initiative to ask, "What are Energy Cells?".

Fred answered, "I heard they have the capability to store World Energy, which are then used in many machines".

Therion spoke, "Fred is correct, and these Energy Cells in my hand are used to power our mechs. Remember that us Mech users, don't have enough energy to supply our mechs for a long period of time. For us Mech users, these Energy Cells are our lifeline. Once we run out of fully charged Energy Cells what do you think will happen to us, especially once we were having battles in space? Now then fill up those Energy Cells behind your Mechs".

Therion was pointing at a pile of Energy Cells, if one estimated the amount should be around thirty.

Therion continued, "The more Energy Cells being stored in a Mech the heavier it gets, thus through countless calculations people decided that the proper amount was thirty".

"What nonsense are you talking about, it was written in these instructions", Sandra spoke while holding a sheet of paper on her right hand.

Therion turned around to look at Hugh, "I thought you hid it already".

Hugh explained, "I did, I hid it in one of the crevices of her mech".

Therion's eyebrows twitched, "Why did you hide it there‽".

Hugh chuckled, "I just thought that they wouldn't see it there, plus where can I hide it in this nearly empty warehouse?".

"Fine".

"Ok then, guys go and fill the Energy Cells with your World Energy".

Leo tried pouring his World Energy inside one of the Energy Cells, almost immediately all his World Energy were transferred in it. But the Energy Cell wasn't even half full, it was only twenty five percent full.

'I guess this is what Therion meant by needing to at least reach that level, but we don't exactly need to do it. All we need to do is store as much energy as we can, while also being able have enough for training'.

Fred was sweating as he breathed heavily, while Sandra was only breathing heavily. Leo on the other hand was different, he didn't show signs of being tired.

Therion noticed Leo's current state, and thus he praised Leo.

"I guess I should really increase my World Energy Level", said Leo.

Therion glanced at Leo and finally noticed what was different about him.

"Leo have you already reached the second level?", asked Therion.

"Well... yes I did, in fact I've already stabilized it", said Leo.

Therion praised, "It seems that you are really talented when it comes to cultivation, only taking seven years to reach the second realm of World Energy Fusion Realm".

Fred chuckled when he heard Therion praise Leo, 'You would be more surprised if you learn that he was only a normal person three months ago'.

Leo's eyes flickered, 'I can use this chance to say that I started when I was nine years old'.

Before Leo could speak though, Sandra also spoke "What do you mean seven years ago. He clearly only started a few months ago".

Everyone was shocked, two of them were shocked for a different reason, but they were shocked nevertheless.

'How did she know?', thought Leo.

Fred spoke, "How did you know?".

Sandra answered, "It's easy, look at his World Energy cores. They aren't even mature yet, if it was Leo would emit a faint blue light".

The others looked at each other and then they cast a glance at Leo.

"Isn't he just like us, not emitting blue light?", said Fred.

Sandra smacked her head, "Oh right, you guys aren't an Emerald Cat".
