With all that, he also concluded that he could travel between the doors he had left open.
He even did a test while filming with his smartphone. He entered through the bedroom door and instantly, due to the time difference, appeared coming out through the wardrobe door.
This also made him think: 'Is it possible to keep the door open even between planets?'
He would like to try. Maybe keep a door open on Planet Deviluke?
'I'll keep that possibility open.'
The only problem was that he didn't know how to impose restrictions on who enters and exits.
He wanted to keep this secret from as many people as possible. For now, he intended to talk about it only with Lala.
"I'm heading out." He said as soon as he arrived in the living room on the first floor.
"Can you do me a favor and buy some things?" Mikan asked.
"Sure, what would it be?" He agreed.
"Milk, bread..."
After making a mental note, he said: "Okay, it might take a little while, is that alright?"
"A little, how long?" Mikan said: "I need some of those things for lunch, if it takes too long..."
"I'll be back before eleven in the morning." He replied.
"In that case, it's fine."
"Rito, how did it go? Did it work perfectly…?" Lala asked as soon as his conversation with Mikan ended.
"Perfectly." He smiled.
"Hehe, that's great~!" She smiled back.
"Be careful..." Asia said.
He looked at her: "Mm, I will."
...
After leaving the house, Rito floated while no one was looking and flew to a mountain that had an abandoned factory.
He entered the abandoned factory that barely had any light and found what he was looking for. An intact door. In the back, there was still a door that should be for access to the bathroom. He created a connection with the Garden of Eden and tried opening it.
When the door was opened, a flash of light made him comfortably squint his eyes.
He was especially glad to see that the door he had left the connection open from his wardrobe was still active.
Just to be sure, he went to the wardrobe door, opened it, and passed through it.
'It's my room!' He thought with a smile: 'It really worked!'
He returned to the Garden of Eden and closed the door again.
'Very well, I have a few hours before I need to return...'
With the 1/3 time difference, he was going to make the most of it and train. He set his smartphone to time it.
He also took off his clothes, staying only in his underwear. Then, he gained some distance from his smartphone and clothes.
He still had the gains he obtained from killing the lion king and the lionesses.
To say he wasn't frustrated about not being able to obtain orbs anymore would be a lie, but there was no use crying over spilled milk. It was better to focus on what he still had than to keep thinking about what he lost.
From the three-dimensional space, Rito used the white and nebulous sphere that was just a thread of energy, but he knew it possessed powerful energy. At the same time as he started using it, he felt a comfort and clarification, so he also used the vibrant fiery red crystal sphere that seemed full of life from the flaming red lion king.
At the same time that the knowledge of fire began to flood his brain and he felt his Divine Fire Art improving very quickly.
Even his inhalation was longer, breathing the pure Spiritual Mana from the air.
Level 2...
Level 3...
Level 4...
Level 6...
Level 7...
Level 9...
In a matter of minutes, he increased his power.
His star-shaped core grew a little as the Spiritual Mana filled every space of the core.
*DOOOM!*
To the sound of a drum, his body seemed like a heartbeat. It vibrated as his body exploded into flames.
*ESTRONDO!*
The flames created a pillar of fire that extended a little more than ten meters high and 100 cm wide.
Inside his body, Rito noticed when the Spiritual Mana Core began to overflow into water and that water began to form a small pool of water.
This was proof that he advanced directly to the Abstruse State that transforms spiritual mana into liquid. Like water, abstruse and mysterious.
Instead of going to level 1, he jumped directly to level 2 without showing signs of slowing down.
His star-shaped core spun and from the eight tips, the liquid continued to leak, increasingly increasing the pool.
Soon, it became night in the Garden of Eden.
When he reached level 4, he finished digesting the crystal orb and only a little energy from the energy thread remained.
Looking at the scorched ground below him and the lack of underwear, his lips pursed a little and he thanked himself for being smart enough to undress and place the clothes and smartphone away from him.
Around his body, a fire armor similar to that of the flaming red lion king surrounded him.
It was different from the On Fire Mode he used before, it was almost solid and had much greater defensive power.
Leaving that aside for now, he deactivated the flames around his body and made his clothes and smartphone float towards him.
After getting dressed, although a bit uncomfortable for being without underwear, it was better than continuing naked.
On the smartphone, he clicked stop on the timer: [10:38,48]
'I need to hurry...'
When he exited through the door of the abandoned factory, he got an internet connection and the clock time adjusted. It was nine fifty-three in the morning.
'I need to hurry.' He thought.
Before leaving and canceling the connection with that door, he went to his room and got underwear and put it on.
...
He finished buying what Mikan asked for without problems and arrived home.
"I'm back." He announced.
"Rito, welcome back!" Lala received him with a tight hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"Mm, thanks for welcoming me." He smiled and kissed her cheek too: "I brought a present for you, Lala."
"A present for me?" Her eyes sparkled with expectation.
"Yes, see if you like it." He handed her a paper bag.
Lala received it and excitedly opened it and when she saw it was a pink plush bunny, she hugged it while saying: "I liked it a lot Rito! It's going to be my treasure!!"
Rito who finished changing his shoes for slippers, took the shopping bags and smiled at Lala: "I'm glad you liked it. I bought it precisely because the color reminded me of your beautiful bubblegum pink hair and I thought you might like it and... Good thing I bought it."
Hearing his explanation, she hugged the plush bunny even tighter and her happy smile deepened.
In the kitchen, Rito finished handing the groceries to Mikan.
"Mikan, nothing is missing, right?" He asked to make sure.
"No, everything is here, thank you." She smiled a little.
"By the way, this is for you." Rito handed her a small box.
"For me?" She received it and when she saw it was a smartphone, she looked surprised at him.
"I remember the screen on yours is cracked." He said: "I thought since it's a pretty outdated model, instead of fixing it, it was better to buy a new one. I hope this model pleases you."
Mikan stayed silent for two seconds.
Taking a deep breath, she smiled beautifully: "Rito, thank you. I liked it a lot!"
"That's good." He smiled back.
...
Later that same day...
In bed, before sleeping, he sighed softly.
Now was the time of truth.
Using purple orb energy, Rito enters the dream world... Except not.
Upon opening his eyes, his facial expression couldn't be more obvious.
"This!" He exclaimed without thinking.
