Lucy continued her training for another week. No matter how annoying he was, Dunkelheit was a good trainer. She had definitely gotten stronger, the day before, he even gave her back her keys, though he told her not to use them yet.
She had gotten used to life in Nowhere, with the food that tasted like nothing, while giving her plenty of energy, the cloth that gave her just enough heat to avoid the cold.
She was no longer wearing her earthen clothes, as she was told that a skirt would impede her training, she was now wearing a t-shirt and jeans, in black like all of the clothes from Nowhere. Which, also explained Kurai's black garb.
She was approached by the before mentioned man.
"You're stronger than before, you should try the gate"
The gate was how he revered to the portal that she took to get to Nowhere, and the one that supposedly could take her back.
"Are you coming too?"
"No"
Was the answer he gave without hesitation.
"I already explained the fact that I cannot follow through the gate"
Followed by a push which sent her flying into the gate. No matter how stronger she had got over the past few weeks, she had still yet to defeat him. With a backwards glance she managed to see time on the screen restart, and hear a single word.
"Goodbye"
And with that, she left Nowhere, and the man clothed in black.
