*The world remains ignorant of your movements, and even I am stuck completely still as time ticks by*

@Techspert

C’mon, Sinon, if you did it once you can do it again… Just like hitting your target. Calm and slow everything falls together.

*Everything remains completely still, as if you were the only individual to exist inside or out*

@Techspert

*takes a slow breath in my nose, looking around and focusing at a point in my space, and slowly releases through my mouth as if I was aiming with my sniper and steadying my body*

*Everything outside the bubble appears to be frozen in time as your personal rate skyrockets*

@Techspert

*my eyes widen and my expression becomes extremely focused*

Myriad Reality

*Shifts the time bubble on top of you*

@Techspert

I’m ready.

This is a small area of hyper-accelerated time. It’s very dangerous. This exercise lasts as long as you decide it does, and you leave once you’re done—you’re not here to play hero or prove your machismo. The second you would rather be doing anything other than standing there, leave. Understood?

@Techspert

Copy.

Because this first test teaches me something about you, and something important. It could have saved several lives had I turned away students who failed.

@Techspert

*sighs*
Okay.
*does a weird body shake that ends with me kicking my leg*
Okay.

Here's your first test. And you need to listen carefully. One wrong move in this world and you're dead. So you need to do everything I say when you're in the sands or the waters, and if I say it, I mean it. I'm not going to kid around in here. Got it?

@Techspert

Why? Putting me immediately in a situation where I have no context of even starting to think in terms of time as a something different would almost certainly guarantee my death. Show me how you think, how you flow within the confines of time.

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

Time is an enormous construct that requires a completely different way of thinking. You saw how easily Brenna slipped through close attacks. But if you're not careful, you'll slip and time will be your downfall.

@Techspert

*scratches my chin, thinking*

<Snipped quote by Spiritblitz>

You're going to need to learn how to think across time. That's no easy task.

@Techspert

Oh, we are starting the lessons already. Got it, yeah. Think across time…kinda like predicting the movements of someone?
