Chapter 4: Progress In Friendship

In a town a bit far from where Loha resides, two human sat inside the local restaurant.

After finding some place to land, Loha brought Aaron to a local restaurant in town as he requested. Not knowing what to order, he decided to follow what Loha ordered.

At the table, a box of an oxygen mask helmet rest. He bought it on the spot with Loha's cred for only 50 creds from local electronic market on the way.

From the recent events, he suspected that he had a breathing problem when he breathes harder.

" I notice that you had been distracted since the battle... care to share with me?" Aaron showed his worries though with hesitant.

Although he too was secretly shaken by the recent battle, he was also able to endure it from getting to his head.

Loha blinked to him as she bit her lips, considering wether to tell him or not. In the end she sighed and shook her head.

" It's nothing, just some personal matter."

" So we're currently at ' Acquaintance'." Aaron nodded his head and didn't ask any further He noticed that she still doesn't trust him enough.

Loha only smiled at him while supporting her chin with the left fist.

After a moment of silence, he spoke up again. He leaned back on the chair comfortably.

" I once had a sister.." He purposely stopped there to give some time for Loha to pick her curiosity.

" What happened to her?" Like he expected, she asked him back and conversation soon smoothly flew.

In the conversation, Aaron was truthfully telling Loha of his personal life and the good old time. Of course it's his former life in other body but Loha didn't have to know that.

He told her a tragedy that befall to his sister, his parents, how he started to change, messed up and more. Loha thought Aaron was just trying to fill the silent.

But she was surprised to find that he was currently being honest as he admitted and laid out all the bad things he had done in the past and his regrets for the things he could no longer change.

Loha didn't spoke as she searched his eyes for his purpose, only to find out an eye of those who was full of guilt.

' I had no ideas he had gone through such life.' As someone with a big heart, she quickly sympathize with him. She could also slightly understood why Aaron had become such a rude species and didn't blamed him if he took the wrong path.

Aaron saw that Loha face had softened and he internally gave himself a thumb up. Although he was telling the truth and sincerely admitted his mistake. Deep in his heart, he was just trying to earn her friendship.

He had manipulated and persuaded a lot of people in the past and mostly, he always get what he wanted.

When the foods arrived, she ended the conversation with a vague promise.

" Well, if fate make our path cross again. Maybe I could consider of becoming 'Friend' with you." She said with a smile.

Although she was kind and had trust Aaron a bit. She still wouldn't consider him her friend as she felt that this will be just one time encounter.

Aaron smiled as he had expected Loha will say this. Though the progress was small, at least friendship will be possible in the near future.

" You're a hard person to get friend with you know that?"

Both of them chatted through their meal familiarly.

***

A few hours later, night had fallen at part of Desra. The length of time in Desra planet was slightly longer than earth with 15 hour of days and night.

It was already past morning when Aaron landed at Desra. So 12 hour had passed since then

Because each planet have different time cycle due to the sizes and speeds of their rotations. Every civilized planet that come into contact with their planet's patron would used calendar year according to the central plane of the galaxy ruled by a group of super empires.

For information, the current years of the galactic calendar was 834.

Currently, a single V-Wing Interceptor flew from the dark part of Desra toward the 'W1-01 Venator- Class Star Destroyer', outside the atmosphere.

Like any other armies in every part of the galaxy, Venator- Class Star Destroyer was designed to have a larger hangar to contain around 500 hundred fighter jet.

At battle that usually revolves around space, Venator become the main choice of option among armies for its amount of fighter. Though it's shape design differed from each armies, it's role's capability didn't.

In the V- Wing interceptor, only Aaron was present as he sat at the front. He had separated way with Loha after the meal. He could tell that Loha will be comfortable around him later when they met again in a good circumstances.

His gaze was focused on wedge dagger shape ship. It's appearance slowly enlarged from a small bean to a big fortress.

It was 1.6 kilometers long, 600 meter wide and almost 200 meters high excluding the control towered that position at the rear end. Able to contain almost 38000 thousand of people.

What was important to know was the Titan Flagship had stored hundreds ship of Venator Class. Excluding other class of big star destroyer in it's hangar it's size could already be described as a portable city.

He entered a tunnel passage on the middle under the ship and went inside one of the hangar to where the rest of the plane were stored.

The entrance of the hangar had a faintly blue barrier of energy. Acting as the door to separate the gravitational space inside from the outer. It didn't disrupt Aaron's plane went he passed through it.

Climbing out of the plane, he checked the system as he walked to his destination.

[Total Point: 2372.6]

While he was on Desra, the flagship had been doing it's best in destroying the asteroids. He had been controlling a lot of things with his mind.

' I felt like an AI at this point.' When he reached that thought, he stopped briefly and shook his head before he continued.

Every minute, he could destroy mostly around 20 to 30 asteroid. Base on 24 hour cycle, he could at least get around 1400 point.

Like his 'Understanding Of Control', he could also improve the amount of point earned at every destroyed asteroid by just simply keep destroying it.

In other word, to level up his earning he had to farm the asteroid. It was counted by the quantity of asteroid he had destroyed, not the point.

[ Points, Level 1: 36397/50000]

He was so deep in his thought that he felt the distance he had walked was short as he had reached the elevator toward the bridge room of the ship.

Hiss!

It produced a hiss sound as the door slides open. He glanced around the room before walking on the long stage toward the slightly slanting floor to ceiling window. Overseeing the deck surface of the ship.

He planned to use this ship for now to see where his path take him as he moved. Loha's word keep ringing in his ear.

' I wished I have the ability to change the world'

A word that he had also said to himself when he lost everyone he love. But when he reached that thought, he shook his head and convinced himself that it's just Loha.

" Sigh, what a weird lady" He couldn't help but sighed. Not wanting to think about her too much too, he searched the system again.
