“Haaa…” Mia let out a sigh, sitting in the middle of the floor of their room fiddling with her unspent stat points. She glanced over to Ria, who was sleeping soundly on her bed “So much for not being able to sleep.” She shook her head, going back to mulling over her stats.
She had just got done revealing everything to her sister, who all things considered, took it well. Ria had said she was freaking out but one look at her sleeping face made Mia think otherwise… or she just falls asleep easily. That was good for her sake.
Mia herself had decided to forgo sleep for the night, she could not sleep for a variety of reasons.
The first being she had not settled down from their talk, still worrying about how her sister truly felt. She was worried that she hated her and didn’t want to work with her anymore. She made it sound like she didn’t, even stuck up for her against Ami, but she couldn’t help but worry.
The second and unrelated to anything that had happened during that night, for the most part, was her cold aura was back in full swing. she had figured out how to better control it thanks to the weakened status effect, but with how her mind was right now… well she was currently sitting atop a thin sheet of ice. If she slept with Ria now, she’d get sick.
They might need two beds now… they could easily afford a better room if days like today repeated but if Ria wasn’t mad at her she’d probably put up a fit.
The third and final reason was she wanted to point her stats as a distraction. She had been putting it off until she figured out what she wanted to focus on and how to better utilize her skills and she finally decided to focus on magic. Seeing the physical talent Ria had also helped tremendously, She was a lot more agile than she was, able to dodge and dance between enemies with relative ease, her skills with weapons was also ahead of hers.
All of this was also without the ability to slow and reset time.
But Mia wasn’t selling herself short, she was also agile enough to take advantage of her time ability, but seeing Ria compared to her, melee combat wasn’t for her. She’d decided to focus on casting while avoiding the enemy, her skills with a dagger as a last resort.
She wasn’t completely abandoning it, especially if her new idea worked out, but magic and levels were her focus now. She’d have to get water and fire up to her ice magic skill, and obtain light and dark, either with a skill orb or with training. But for now, she spent the time pointing her stats until the early morning, ending up with the following.

Once she was finally done she whistled, two thousand int, she really wanted to find that boar again and blast it just to see the difference… and then throw one spear at that monster that put her in a coma for a month, to thank it of course.
For everything else, she wanted more health, and strength was nice to have, helped with carrying things and dealing with weaker opponents she didn’t want to use her magic on. It wasn’t because she felt miffed by Ria overpowering her for so long, nope, not at all. Besides, Ria surely had higher than 200, so it really wasn’t because of that because she still had higher strength than her.
Nope.
Dexterity got a boost to help her dodge enemies and keep away from them, she wanted to get to the point where she didn’t have to rely on slow and loading to dodge higher leveled enemies and skilled humans. She also wanted to be able to keep up with them at the bare minimum… a few people have caught her off guard just by how fast they are, she was beginning to think it was a trait of evolved people to have high speed… though, she didn’t think that one noble lady with the mind powers wasn’t very fast.
She shrugged, she didn’t think she’d have to deal with her any time soon.
Mind was self-explanatory, she had a bunch but slowing down time still chugged it. With her now using more magic she needed more, a lot more, her next few level ups were going to be dedicated to raising mind as much as possible.
And luck was still for ever stuck at one. She had been ignoring it but not like it mattered, she couldn’t point it if she wanted to because of her title. So she will still ignore it, if she remembered correctly it said something about storing points every time something bad happened, so ignoring it was a good thing in her eyes. The more points it had when she truly needed it, the better.
Finally done she stood up and stretched, then checked on her sister “still asleep” she knew she’d sleep in for another few hours, till then she was free to do whatever. She wanted to go to the haunt but that was out of the question, so for now she made a nice chair for her out of ice, then remade the floating ice lamp.
She watched it rotate around her as she sat in her chair, easily maneuvering the ice as it defied gravity “there was also…” she looked to her left, a floating panel of ice at her side “The shield Ami used.” From her perspective trapped in her own mind, Ami had formed that shield almost instantly, slowing down time just enough to get it to form and block Ria’s punch.
It would definitely be useful, and was along the lines of what she was thinking about already…
“Hmm…” which begged the question, who thought of the idea first… she shook that line of thinking out of her head, worrying about that was meaningless, and knowing Ami, only did that instead of dodging cause she knew Ria couldn’t break it and wanted to mock her.
She clapped her hands together, a ball of ice forming in front of her as her idea took form in front of her, the ball taking on a different form, being molded by her imagination and skill. She smirked, the ice still floating despite being changed, her excitement growing as she moved it to her will.
It was still rough, but it could work. And if it worked with her skills, it would change her entire style. The combination of her ice and manipulation.
She couldn’t wait for Ria to wake up.
