Knock Knock!
I was working on the core when I heard the knock on my door.
Click!
I opened my eyes and appear beside the door before opening it.
"I hope I didn’t disturb you, Pri Arys," said the woman. "Of course, not Pri Rava," I replied with a smile. "Please, co in," I invited.
"Thank you, Pri Arys," she replied and walked inside.
A mont later, we were both sitting in a living room. It’s clear that the woman wants sothing, but is a little hesitant about it.
We kept looking at each other for a few seconds before the woman opened her mouth.
"You have already provided us with a lot of trendously helpful things. The dical tools, knowledge, and breakthrough formations," she said, looking into my eyes with all seriousness.
"I am once more asking for your help. I hope you will let borrow, you Pri-Grade breakthrough formation," she requested.
Hearing that, I couldn’t laugh.
"Pri Rava, you should have asked directly. There was no need to use so many words," I said, and a palm-sized indigo disc appeared in front of us.
I had provided them with a lot of things, including the breakthrough formations.
They were for those below Pri.
I had hinted to her that, if she needs the Pri-level, I will give it to her. This is my breakthrough formation, and I’ve made nurous changes over the past year.
I knew they would ask for it and was more than willing to give it to them.
I have all the data I need for the breakthroughs below the Pri. I didn’t have data on those breaking through to the Pri.
After I left Tor, I didn’t think. I would have the opportunity to collect that data.
Every organisation keeps its Pri breakthroughs secret, including Taurus.
This will help trendously. With the data, I will be able to make the formation better, increasing my chances of success when I make a breakthrough into the Pri.
"Thank you, Prive Arys," she replied as she took the disk.
I may be smiling right now, but there is a risk. It has a lot of forbidden power; there are changes from the beginning to hide it, and I reinforced it further, but I am still a little worried.
It is a risk I will need to take for the precious data.
"You have co for this, which ans soone is ready to make a breakthrough into the Pri?" I asked, and the woman nodded.
They take the breakthroughs very seriously here. Breakthroughs are always serious everywhere, especially the Pri breakthroughs, but here it is more due to the challenges and the opportunities this place offers.
It is why these people are very strict about it. One would need to undergo a very strict evaluation before being allowed to do it here.
It is even stricter than outside. Here, they examined everything, including one’s core secret, which they usually avoid outside.
Here, things are different.
The compulsion to guard one’s secret isn’t as strong as it is outside.
"Yes, its Banis Kubor." She replied, and a confusion appeared on my face.
"I don’t think I had t him," I said, and to that she smiled. "You have not, he has been in the hibernation chamber for a decade," she replied.
"I am going there right now. You could co with , if you want," she offered.
"I would love to," I replied. I wanted to check out the hibernation chamber for months, but access to it is very restricted.
More than the repository.
A few seconds later, we stepped out of my cottage and walked toward the statue.
Soon, we were at its feet and went inside. Though, unlike the repository, we didn’t climb down, but went up, till we reached the door with thick purple tal.
"Pri Rava, Pri Arys," greeted the middle-aged Rhino Beastman. "Pri Geres," she replied, while I nodded.
Yes, the Pri is guarding this place and not just one. There are real people inside, including the Pris.
Click!
He places his hands on the gate, and a powerful feeling envelops the whole section, before the door begins to open.
It took a few seconds for it to fully open, and we walked inside.
As we did, I saw glass spheres covered in shining runes with bluish liquid inside. Inside them are people of all levels and races.
"It’s hard to live in this place without feeling the psychological pressure. Even the Pris are immune to it," she replied, looking at the section where the Pris are.
"We are people after all, just stronger than others," I replied to which she smiled.
These people are in hibernation; most are voluntary, a few were recomnded. It might seem like an extre, but it becos a necessity when one is on the verge of insanity.
So place themselves here because they can’t bear to spend another day in prison, while Banis Kubor do it to prepare themselves for the breakthrough.
Hibernation isn’t rare; it happens in the real world as well.
So old pris seal themselves for decades and centuries.
"Many desire long lives, but it is not easy to live them," said Pri Rava and walked toward the sphere.
I nodded and followed after.
I am not as old as she is; I am not even a century old. I am close but not there; she is ten tis older than I, and it shows.
It’s very hard to hide the age, despite looking young.
Its why I never tried. I hid my level, but never tried to hide my age. People often consider a little older than I look, thanks to my experiences.
I looked around as I walked, and I have to say, they have done a pretty good job in here.
I could feel the brimming life in the people in the spheres. I could not see the slightest side effects of hibernation on them.
"You have done a wonderful job, Pri Rava. Better than many outside," I praised. "It wasn’t easy; it took a lot of trial and error," she replied, but I could feel her pride at the praise.
A few seconds later, she stopped in front of the sphere with a red-haired, four-ard man inside.
"Let’s get you out, Kubor," she said and placed her palm on the floating stone control.
