Chapter 88: Training (2)

"What happened?" asked Chronos, not understanding why James was smiling.

"Uhhh...I've won the time element," said James. Hearing this, Chronos' eyes widened to the size of the Philosopher's Stone.

"Come again?" Chronos said, and Chronos was stunned for a few seconds when the awkward James said again, "I won the time element."

"You managed to do that in just fifteen minutes? Are you kidding me?" Chronos asked and James shook his head, making his ability visible to everyone. Sёarch* The NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

When the people around read these words, they looked at James again and realised that he had indeed become even more handsome.

"I didn't expect you to turn into a girl," Apate said jokingly, and Chronos stood there in amazement while everyone held on to laughter.

"Kid, do you have any idea what you have just done?" asked Chronos, the surprise on his face clear for all to see.

When James shook his head left and right Chronos smiled and then said "Chronos created me with the pure form of time when he created me, but even though I took a long time to gain this element, you did it in just 15 minutes, don't you realise what is going on? Time has chosen you."

James smiled and rejoiced at this and then said, "Maybe it's because I had a good teacher huh, what do you think?"

Chronos smiled and reached into his inventory and pulled out two wooden swords.

"I normally use a scythe and staff, but if the sword is your main weapon, this is the way to go."

As James stood up and picked up the sword, Chronos suddenly disappeared and James realised that his eyes had gone black, he had fallen to the floor and fainted.

When he opened his eyes again he realised he was laying down on Nemesis' lap, the Chaos-Borns standing around him.

The last thing James remembered was being hit on the head with a hard object.

"I fainted, didn't I?" James suddenly asked, and when he saw Nemesis's expression, which made it hard not to laugh, he said, "Well...That was embarrassing." and stood up.

The moment he saw Chronos, he got angry and said, "What the heck old man? I thought you were gonna train me not beat the crap out of me!"

Chronos looked at James with a small chuckle and then said "I'm going to lie, I thought you were going to use your ability." James, hearing this, said "What kind of ability can stop a god's attack? Are you out of your mind?!"

Chronos shook his head and said, "The time element makes you one second faster than everyone else, in case you didn't realise, it partially stops time for one second, if you were fast enough and could see those around you, you could easily escape my attack."

When James heard these words, he said "Huh...Interesting." and stood up and then took the sword in his hand again and said 'Let's try again, at least don't aim for my head this time.'

James started to watch Chronos carefully and then tried to activate the Time Element when he saw him disappear, but there was only one problem...James did not know how to activate the element.

When Chronos reappeared, James was struck in the stomach and fell to one knee, trying hard not to vomit, when Nemesis suddenly came to him and tried to lift him.

As James forced himself to his feet, he realised that he was already starting to recover. The automatic healing ability he had gained in the tutorial seemed to be working for him.

When Chronos looked at him and asked, "Why didn't you use it?" James smiled awkwardly and then said, "Umm...I don't flipping know, maybe because I don't know how?" and looked at the man in front of him in confusion.

"PUHAHAHAHAHA!!! That's right, I didn't tell you how to do it, it's all my fault." he laughed, and just at that moment Nyx's laughter was heard:

"Hahaha...Chronos please stop messing with my child."

At Nyx's words, Chronos gently stepped right behind James put a hand on his back and said, "Feel my energy, you will get a little idea about using time, and the rest will be up to you to handle."

At that moment, James felt an insane sense of energy spreading through his entire body. When he looked around he couldn't see anyone, he was literally in space itself.

He could see many things happening around him, he was about to faint, and the feeling and all the information that entered his mind started to make his nose bleed.

After wiping his nose, he started to take steps.

In the world outside, other things were happening:

"Chronos, is he going to be okay?" Nyx asked suddenly, seeing Nemesis' worried expression and feeling the need to ask.

"No, he only sees things about the beginnings and ends of the stars. If you want to use time, you need a superior intellect and a deep state of mind." Chronos replied, and Erebus, hearing this, shook his head and said, "Huh, so you're developing his brain? It's normal to bleed, it's automatic healing, so this process will be quite easy."

Chronos nodded his head and said, "Yes, that's right, if it wasn't for the auto-healing I would never have chosen this form of training, but it has enormous potential, fire and time, it's ironic really."

Nyx and the others seemed quite surprised by this choice of words, Nemesis looked at James for a few seconds and then turned to Chronos and asked, "What's ironic?"

The answer he got surprised them all.
