"Ah whatever, status!" Spoke quietly Tenebris.

"Uh, ill save this attribute points for later, if i stack them up a bit ill at least be able to feel the difference." Spoke Tenebris to himself as he walked over to the rest of them that were sitting in the corner.

"Okay, once you rest prepare to leave, find some bags or something here and pack up everything we might need, im going to get blueprints for vent system, Tomm you coming?"

"Yes, let's go." Answered Tomm as he stood up, Diana raised her head and watched them leave, after which she stood up and went after them.

"Where are you going?" Asked Demian.

"I have something to speak with Tenebris, i just remembered." She spoke without even turning her head around. Demian just ignored her and kept on resting a little bit more.

Diana kept following Tenebris and her father as they went to the corner of the gym, she tried not to be noticed by them as she sneaked behind them.

"Okay, ill draw their attention and you go grab those blueprints, get any blueprint we might use." Spoke Tenebris as he ran into pair of skeletons that were in front of the doors, with couple of swift movements both skeletons were on the ground getting a pounding. Tomm ran past them and hurriedly ran into his office, before he entered he flashed a smile towards Tenebris and raised his thumb up before he closed the doors behind him.

Okay let's experiment a little. Dexterous movement!

Tenebris activated his spell that he got earlier, he suddenly felt strong energy inside of him as his moves started to hasten up.

This is nice, i like this feeling, my speed is almost doubled, only downside of it is that my mind cant keep up enough with this speed, i must check if my processing speed can solve this problem.

He kept thinking as he smashed the skeletons even faster than before, but later he started noticing that his EP was draining quite fast, his energy was limited and he wasn't used to this body, it was quite weaker than his previous body and he couldn't keep up much with this, and his skill even further drained him.

Ill have to work on my energy problem as well, my HP and MP aren't currently the problem if they cant even strike me, and i don't have any spells that drain my mana, but with this amount of energy i cant afford to have a battle of attrition.

As he danced around now 3 skeletons he noticed he was being watched, around the corner there was a little black haired head peeking at him.

"Well, wanna join me or do you just want to watch?" He spoke a little louder this time so she could hear him. Realizing that she has been noticed Diana blushed in shame and ran up to Tenebris.

"Here take this, just beat this one on the ground and dont let it get up." Spoke Tenebris as he threw his chipped metal sword to her. Totally confused by his actions Diana grabbed the sword and looked at him before saying. "Aren't you gonna ask me why did i follow you?"

"If you want to tell me you will, no point in me asking, don't just stand there hit that pile of bones damn it!" Tenebris yelled at her as she still stood there in a daze, upon hearing what he said she realized what was happening and started hitting that skeleton in front of her. Although her strength was weak so she was unable to keep that skeleton on the ground she didn't experience any problems even then, she kept dodging its attack and striking it back in return, after dozen or so second that skeleton dropped down on the ground creating a pile of bones.

Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.

"Well look at you, you have some fighting spirit in you." Tenebris praised her as he finished of his last skeleton.

"I just tried copying what you did..." Diana answered blushing.

"Oh is that so, if you really were copying me than you did really bad work, when did i allow these bones to stand up for longer than couple of seconds?" Tenebris spoke to her without even looking at her, when she heard him she flushed even more, but then Tenebris continued."Just aim for their joints, they have quite weak joints considering they dont have any muscles binding them so they fall down quickly, here is a new one go on this one is yours, try what i just said to you!" As he said that he just side stepped and avoided the rushing skeleton before he kicked him towards Diana. Once she saw that a skeleton was tumbling towards her she panicked for a second before she calmed down and swung her sword towards the skeleton. Considering there was quite a bit of force behind Tenebrises kick and her sword swing that resulted in sword striking directly into skeletons neck, and with that strike she cleanly separated skeletons head from its shoulders, its head flew up in the air before it fell down couple of steps further away. After realizing that its head is missing skeleton started crawling on the ground trying to find its head.

"Oh look isnt it cute, like a puppy looking for a bone, nice strike by the way, if i didnt have plans for you being a caster i would make a swordsman out of you!" Praised her Tenebris once more.

"Well, what about a spell-sword, i could be that?" Answered Diana.

"A spell-sword huh? Well yeah i forgot about that, i dont know if that would be possible but that's an interesting idea, but wouldnt you prefer being further away from fighting?"

"I dont want to hide behind everyone when they risk their lives fighting, i want to do something, i want to feel useful for once..." She spoke more quietly with every words she spoke, in the end she could barely been heard, but that wasn't a problem for Tenebris considering his heightened senses.

"I see, aren't you a little brave girl!" Tenebris spoke as he grinned brightly.

"I am not little!" Diana rebuked angrily.

"Oh looks like someone has a soft spot, thanks for telling me!" Tenebris kept teasing her while she was still hitting that skeleton that was crawling on the ground. "But that idea of yours is really interesting, do you think it is possible?"

"Yeah i think it is, it might be a little complicated but this apocalypse turned into a game right? If its a game then it should be possible."

"It looks like you have some experience with games, doesn't surprise me though, you look like that..."

"What is that supposed to mean?" She answered as she blushed a little more.

"Well that pale white skin, shyness and your attitude clearly shows you are a gamer." He continued teasing her with a smile on his face.

"That is not true! I-i just played a little bit!" She rebuked loudly as she finished of her skeleton.

Just as she finished of her skeleton Tomm  went out of his office holding bunch of papers in his hands.

"Diana? What are you doing here?" He asked confused as he noticed her standing there on top of pile of bones with a sword in her hands.

"Oh she followed us so i gave her something to do so she doesnt get bored. Lets go now, you got everything you need?" Answered Tenebris as he started walking back to the gym.

"Yeah, i got it lets go back." Answered Tomm as he watched his daughter standing there foolishly with her red face looking down in front of her while circling with her feet in front of her, making circles on the ground.

This silly little girl, what should i do with you... He thought as he followed behind Tenebris
