"But things didn't go as the saying goes. Your grandmother said you'll 'awaken' at the day of your 18th birthday celebration yet, no such a thing happened, right? And that wasn't the only thing that went differently from what your grandmother told me. Your power...she said it has something to do with 'space', I don't know what exactly it is though. Perhaps, it might be something to do with the 'Trial Tower' you were talking about. But from the way she said, it was a very powerful ability, much more potent than Clairvoyance."

Sheila slowly nodded her head with her expression remained as that of surprise. Space, huh? But that's the system's abilities, isn't it? I am the master of the space within the Trial Tower yet, I don't think it's my power. If it is, it won't just be in the Trial Tower, won't it? After all, when it comes to space magic, there's teleportation and stuff, right? I won't have to waste my energy to walk for 10km just to buy ice cream when I could just 'blink' to the place within a split second, no energy was wasted other than for teleportation. Even in fighting, I could teleport behind my opponent and be like, 'Nothing personal, kid'. At least that was what I would like to do if I could teleport as I pleased, thought Sheila.

"But, how does this got to do with being the successor of that woman?"

Sara shook her head helplessly at her foolish daughter.

"If you have listened to everything I said carefully, you would easily connect the dot. But if you wanted me to say it, alright. That woman is my and your great ancestor. Basically, both of us are her direct descendants. Although I didn't awaken like some kind of supernatural power that could bend reality at a single snap of my finger, I do have one ability that makes it unfair against normal people. It's Photographic Memory."

"Eh? I also have it."

"You do? Then that must be the actual reason how your grades have been improving. No wonder I didn't see you study that much these past days yet you easily achieve in hitting high scores. But... you are still my foolish daughter, after all."

"What's with the last one?!"

Sheila couldn't help but retort while feeling upset when she heard her mother's speaking the last part, it was even more infuriating when her mother was looking at her with a kind smile on her face.

"Anyway, just know that because you're my daughter, a direct descendant at that, you awaken to the special ability that couldn't be comprehended by common sense. This has been passed down ever since long ago, only to the direct descendant though."

"Father didn't know about this then?"

"Unfortunately, yes. But now it's possible for him thanks to you."

Sheila titled her head in confusion at her mother's remark.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well, there's another reason why I couldn't tell your father, and that is has something to do with you. Well, it was very simple. Your grandmother said if you really awaken to a special ability, that's when I have the permission to tell it to Anthony; it was such a promise."

Sheila heaved a relieved sigh.

"That's good then."

"Is something matter?"

"Uhh, well... it was just, I have this system where I could bring people inside the Trial Tower, just like what I did to Ria and the others, was what I said, right?"

Sara nodded her head in acknowledgment.

"And by doing that, I could technically, 'awaken' normal people, at least from what you said. I had just realized that I can actually do such an amazing thing like this."

Sheila paused for a moment before continuing.

"All they required is to kill the monster within the Trial Tower to get enough experience to level up, eventually, they would get strength comparable to that of superpower. It's even possible to have a superpower of their own, like spewing fire from their mouth for example."

"That's amazing."

"It is, that's why...I wanted to bring you two into the Trial Tower."

Sara widens her eyes in shock for a split second before it was replaced by her normal smile. Although she had a feeling this will likely happen judging from the way Sheila had been acting for a while now, she was still surprised by it. But it's understandable, perhaps Sheila wants her parents to get stronger so that if the world truly becomes like an apocalypse, they can at least protect themselves if they had enough power to stand on their own. There's no way she could protect everyone she cares about on her own, that must also be the reason behind why she brought Ria into the Trial Tower.

"I see, I understand. Then, why don't you wait in your room first? Once Anthony gets home, we will go to your room."

Sheila nodded her head in agreement before getting up and took a leave. While she was walking on the way to the second floor, her mind was elsewhere. From the way my mother's said, I'm not a resident of this world but more like a direct descendant of a person from another world. So I guess I'm half and half? I didn't know whether to consider the system as my power or not but, I'm more intrigued in why I received it way later than the supposed date, predicted by my deceased grandmother.

I was planning to create an organization solely because I don't want modern civilization to disappeared from the face of Earth. I still want to play games, read novels, and watch anime, after all. Without those, I don't think I am me. Alright, that might be going too far but still, without my hobbies, I don't think I can keep up with the world. In a world where dog-eat-dog, was there anything more interesting than my hobbies? Nope, don't think so. Only a certain group of people might enjoy it, and I am not one of them.

I also don't really like to see nature burns because of the war among humans. A dog-eat-dog world feels very much suffocating to me, I don't know about others though. Not that I care about others, mind you. 

Wait, now that I think about it, if I were to create an organization, wouldn't it be great if I could make it like an Adventurer Guild like in those in fictitious novels? I would be Guild Master, Uwah! that sounds like someone with an eight-grader disease(chuunibyou) would do. But even so... Sheila couldn't help but think about it for a moment before shaking her head to remove the thought. No matter how cool it sounds like, it would definitely be a pain in the ass to handle such a huge size of an organization. Her plan was only to create a small, region-size wise for her organization, at the very least, she thought that she could handle it if it was only that much.

Even that might be a bit of a headache if she were the only one to manage the whole organization, which was why she wants to ask for help from her mother. Sara could be said to be a genius when it comes to management. She becomes even more fearsome is because of her special ability which was Photographic Memory. There was a reason why the people in the same circle as hers, were scared of her. If Sheila had someone with such prowess in her arsenal, she won't have to worry about her organization while doing the other stuff.

Again, she wanted to create an organization solely because she didn't want the civilization to get wiped off the map when the world turned chaotic. A fantasy world is cool and all but as a modern person, it would be hard for her to adapt to such a world. Of course, it only takes time before everyone would eventually adapt to the new world. It wasn't just about the game, there are also all kinds of convenient tools known in the modern world such as mobile phones, cars, etc. She also didn't want to lose a whole decade worth of technology just for the magical world.

Just imagine a technology combined with magic, won't it be possible to create a virtual world? Of course, there are pros and cons everywhere, but still...

"AAAAH! Sheila! You should have knocked on the door first before entering the room! Haven't I told you that before?!"

A sudden shout brought her back to reality as she looked up and saw a familiar girl in her birthday suit. It seemed that she had walked right onto when Ria was changing her clothes, if a man or a boy were to be in her position, they would have no doubt be so delighted to experience such a 'godly event' that only a main protagonist of a harem novel could. But to Sheila, as a girl, she didn't feel anything or that was supposed to be the case, but strangely, seeing Ria embarrassed with a blush on her face somehow makes her feel strange. Something is rising and is definitely not a Sheild Hero.

Joking aside, Sheila immediately turned on her back and didn't forget to close the door after she exits the room. If she were to take her time to stares at the blushing girl in birthday suit, she might get struck by her right there and then. Though she won't receive any damage since her vitality is much higher, the pain still hurts.

"I'm sorry, I was a bit deep into the thought that I forget to knock on the door."

Leaning her back on the door, Sheila could hear a sigh inside the room.

"Fine, I forgave you. But there won't be next time, got it?"

"Yes!"

She didn't know why but she could feel the chills when Ria said the last part. She had a feeling that if she were to be a bit later to reply, she would be in grave danger. It was at a time like this that she was happy to have a powerful instinct that proven to be useful. No matter the past or now, Ria is always scary when she's serious.
