After entering my apartnt I ate so food, cleaned myself up more, removed the shadowy mask and sat down at my desk. Holographic displays beeping as my point balance steadily increased, Fallout being purchased by more and more people.

My purchase options were still the sa as last ti, special-wise, but I needed to consider protections other than just more people. Uchiha clan was a long-term investnt. Thus my power would be integral for the short-term.
With this in mind I searched through the shop for training tools, specifically geared towards psychic abilities. Luckily there was several options provided by the system.

Looking over all of the options there were so clear choices. The Ring seed OP for training, so it was going to be purchased. The Diadem was my next choice as well. From here I wanted non-passive training equipnt, and therefor I chose the Telekinetic Nexus and the Neural Strain Console.
The additional benefit to getting the console was that it would complete a mission on my battle pass, and therefor get closer to finishing the apprentice level. Once tapping on all of them and confirming my purchase, the four objects lightly floated down onto my desk.

Gazing down at these items, a faint film of energy could be seen lingering in the air. As if energy itself was tad in their presence. Intrigue licking at the edges of my finger I carefully extended my hand and lifted the most expensive purchase I had made. The ring...
It featured a tallic band of dark gold-brass hue, elegantly designed to expand at the top into a striking centrepiece. At its heart lay a purple gem, ticulously carved to resemble the intricate folds of a brain. The gem shimred with a flowing, almost otherworldly energy, as if alive, while the band's tal filled the recessed grooves, creating the impression that the ring had encased an alien brain within its grasp.
My mind reached for it, a static striking my ears with a distorted tone. Consciousness and subconsciousness grew hazy as concepts, the closer my ntal energy beca bonded. Then, with a soft exhale, the ring lunged up off of the desk and slid onto my right ring-finger. Subconscious and consciousness rged into a single, all encompassing, entity.
.
My mind was now fully . There was no distinction. All of the passive processes my subconscious carried out were under my control. At the sa ti automation was still applicable. It was as if I had gained control of the smallest parts of my body. Comfort slithered into every single ounce of my being as I slowly felt my Telekinetic abilities, Techno-psychic powers and faint Empathic power be flexed and strained against.
The ring was passively expanding my brain to better use these acquired abilities. My brain was connecting them together, interweaving them and better enhancing my emotional and logical hemispheres.
Before I could feel ecstasy from this constant positive gain, there was a lightning-like explosion of energy along the edges of my psychic defences. The diadem, made of pure gold and carved softly with hundreds of small runes, levitated softly before . It was made of three parts, two bands and a rged 'V' shaped apex. These bands swept gracefully around the sides in an almost elven-like design; not too dissimilar from Lord of the Ring's elven jewellery.
My eyes widened as this elegant headpiece rotated slowly, pushing towards my head as psychic energy wreathed it in leaf-like shapes. It was as if I was being crowned as a Roman Emperor in ancient tis, the floral crown of psychic energy pulsing in harmony with the ring's, and even my own ntal energy. Then, as if the gentleness had rely been foreplay, the diadem slamd onto my head and clutched to the sides of my head.
If before my mind had been hamred by the ring, now it was akin to the demolition of an entire skyscraper. The rubble and detritus raining down into the recesses of my changing mind. Glass shards poking into the fibres of my neural pathways. Cent subrging my senses only to rub them raw, making them drastically more sensitive. I, felt everything. From the smallest fluctuations of my own psychic wake to the faintest of pathos remnants behind the entrance to my apartnt.
But all of this had a toll, a throbbing amidst the tissue of my brain signifying the exhaustion of my psychic power. It was taking every ounce of it to endure horrifying levels of passive invasion and static from these two tools. I slumped against the desk, sweat marring my forehead, dripping onto the fine wooden surface. My eyes felt sore as my sense of touch was extended to every object in the room more intuitively. All of it felt off, as if I was scraping my fingers over every single particle that made the items in this apartnt of mine.
Unfortunately for though, this wasn't the end. The Telekinetic Nexus floated around my head, invisible to normal vision. It was darting around in a circular pattern, halting every now and then as it combined efforts with my diadem, my brain being yanked by said Diadem to halt the pyramid-shaped object whenever my backup energy was above safe levels. My brain was exercising more than ever before and it was straining ... I could barely sustain focussed strains of thought.
Blinking slowly, I lifted the loneso cube on the desk. A futuristic looking device that had a single red button on it. There were no instructions, but that was fine as I simply hit the red button, knowing that it wasn't going to be a negative thing... Oh how naïve i was...
The Neural Strain Console, having been picked up and put next to my Pip-boy in my hands, flashed into bright light as said Pip-boy glowed a bright green-white. Fusion energy mixed with psychic energy and combined into a singular console of pure, intent?
Needles of psychic energy pierced my mind as my defences were strained to their very limits. Eyes rolling into the back of my head I felt my attention being split between hundreds of different areas... Specifically, to each needle that pressed inwards. The pain was amplified by hundreds of tis in recompense, the ache resembling a hot poker. White searing hot stinging collapsing upon every inch of what made , .
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I scread, but it was useless.
"ARGGGGGHHHHHHH...W-" Speaking failed as I frothed at the sides of my mouth.
But then it ca... A soft golden glow. A soothing coolness. The slls of strawberries, nature and blood suffused everything within as the needles flexed and attempted to poke in once more. They failed as my own psychic resonance passively increased, the brain on my ring pulsing within purple energy, gathering and mixing with the golden light.
*CUAAAHGH*
A large gulping of air flexed down into my lungs as my mind awoke once more, the pain retreating as if a lion from an automatic machine-gun. That lights lavished itself over the top of my combined consciousness before slowly receding, leaving behind a strong shield for , made of my own psychic might.
My eyes rolled forwards once more and I was facing the window, where I could see the faint golden glow fading from the back of my neck. In panic I pulled down my shirt to look at it. The glow was gone, but the tattoo had grown more roots... Burying itself further down my back, following my spine until the arch of my back; I had to take off my shirt for this.
Then, after admiring for a while, I willed my shirt down with my telekinesis. Every fold and layer of material slid down with concise speed. My appearance was now the sa as before, nothing changing whatsoever.
'Everything has a price though...'
I was still training to this very mont.

"I guess all there is now, is to get the Uchiha Clan and ensure that they are settled."
"They are a pain in the ass, but they are cheaper than the Uzumaki clan, Hyūga clan or the Senju Clan."
I slowly walked over to the kitchen, each prick of the needles shooting pain throughout my body. The shield was there, but it was only enough to stop myself from falling unconscious. Looking at my pip-boy there was a massive change. Where the screen was once green it now glowed faint purple as a holographic projection radiated upwards and showed my physical condition. Along with that ca a new screen that showed the growing status of my ntal state... Everything in this section was growing rapidly.
The front door opened as Picard stood there, my psychic powers detecting his presence and aiding my intent to listen to him.
"Freya...?"
I blinked quickly and felt all of the emotions that were oozing out from his brain. He was full of trepidation, curiosity and small touches of mistrust. My decision to bring more people here was weighing on him most likely.
"Thank you Picard, for supporting despite the freshness of this entire situation."
He walked in and looked at , seeing the new equipnt I had on.
"There is no need for thanks. Besides, my options are limited, you are my best chance to survive here, given the nature of the supernatural here."
Drinking so water down, I flashed a smile at him before returning to my examination of his emotions. He was lessening his distrust, but it was still there, as if a small ball of uncertainty. It was only natural though... My only wish though was that the Uchiha would be easier to handle due to the circumstances...
"Disregarding those heavy topics... I have purchased two mansions adjacent to our HQ. It has enough room for several hundred people each, more if we were to renovate so rooms."
"Good. Then I'll go over now and see about getting our guests and future allies accommodated."
"I'll join you. Nothing much else to do and honestly, I wish to see what the entire process includes."
Chuckling a little I walked through the front door, Picard letting go through first before following.
"Do as you please, I trust you enough to know you won't intentionally hurt or anyone around ."
Picard's distrust lessened once again, a faint slither existing... My efforts were working and in no ti I was definitely likely to turn him into a loyal friend. 'Fingers crossed I get so aweso characters working for now.'
