My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 474

Now that they were inside Kisha’s territory, they began to notice many things that hadn’t clicked before.

They realized just how much Kisha and the other leaders had been silently helping every one of them.

This newfound awareness made them feel even more indebted to Kisha and the others, motivating them to take their training more seriously.

When Kisha finished helping Zeus, she noticed the five of them training on their own, without any prompting from her.

Their faces showed a look of resolve and determination as they sat with their eyes closed in focused concentration.

Kisha raised an eyebrow but didn’t say anything.

Meanwhile, Zeus, having exhausted himself to stabilize his spiritual energy, was finally resting peacefully, free from the pain that had been tormenting him.

Seeing the five STAU members training on their own without her needing to prompt them, Kisha felt reassured.

Quietly, she placed additional crystal cores in front of each of them, then activated her ’Eye of Truth’ to monitor their progress.

With her enhanced mental capacity, she could now train herself while using part of her consciousness to observe them—a valuable exercise in control.

This dual focus would strengthen her ability to manage multiple tasks with precision, an essential skill for manipulating various items efficiently.

Everyone became absorbed in their own training, with only the distant hum of buzzing and their steady breathing filling the air.

Hours later, the five STAU members opened their eyes, each exhaling a deep, concentrated breath that radiated with strong spiritual energy—a sign they’d reached a bottleneck and were ready for the next level.

Their bottles of Scarlet Honey were now emptied, and, at that moment, Kisha opened her eyes as well.

"Good," Kisha said, nodding in approval as she looked over each of them.

"It seems you’re all ready to break through to level 2."

She paused, then added with a thoughtful smile, "But before you do, why not practice control and precision with your space abilities first? Test your strength and refine your energy. With all the Scarlet Honey you’ve been using, stabilizing your spiritual energy will help your body adjust before the final step to level 2."

Without questioning her reasoning, the five STAU stood up, scanning their surroundings for objects they could use to practice storing and retrieving from their space.

They searched for anything substantial, but all they found were open land, trees, and a few large boulders.

Observing their need for larger items, Kisha walked over and, with a wave, summoned a set of trucks from her own inventory.

The five STAU members looked on, astonished, as five fuel tanks materialized before them.

They all sprang to their feet, turning to Kisha with wide-eyed disbelief, their faces clearly asking, ’Was that you? Did you just do that?’ Kisha, however, remained calm and unfazed, simply watching their reactions with a hint of amusement.

"City Lord, y-you... you..." one of them stammered, at a loss for words.

They didn’t need to say more; it was clear to all of them where those trucks had come from.

A new realization struck them: the City Lord held far more secrets than they had imagined.

Suddenly, her previous warnings made perfect sense.

They couldn’t help feeling a touch of defeat, recognizing that while they had taken pride in their storage capacities—almost to the point of arrogance, thinking they controlled the base’s lifeline—Kisha had silently been carrying even more.

In that moment, they understood just how much she was safeguarding, and it humbled them deeply.

Their pride felt punctured, as if the thing they once held in such high regard had suddenly been diminished.

None of them dared to wonder just how vast Kisha’s storage space truly was—they sensed that doing so would completely deflate their remaining confidence.

Determined to stay focused, they set their thoughts aside and threw themselves into their training, silently waiting for Kisha’s next instructions.
