Once Erik got back to the Red Palace, he went to his room. Benedict wanted to chat a little, and Erik did, but he tried to get back to training as soon as possible.
"I'll be training for a while," he said to Benedict.
"OK!"
Erik then changed into more comfortable clothes and headed straight to bed, where he planned to stay for the rest of the day.
Time flew by, with Erik trying to make new neural links.
He got some for his other powers, but his official powers had in total just three of them. It was problematic.
Making neural links was not easy, and he always felt like he was making no progress at all.
"Dammit..."
Erik spent four hours training, and it seemed like he made no progress. Though he didn't quit and kept making neural links for the rest of the evening. It was only after he reached the six-hour mark that Erik could sense something different.
