Sorry about the long wait, had heaps of school work etc, etc. I'm still here though, enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 5

"What do you think, about it being Weiss' father?"

"I'm not sure, I haven't met him personally, but from what Weiss tells us, he seems like a vile man. I need have to talk to Weiss about this, even though it could potentially ruin our friendship."

Yes, talking to Weiss is a very wise decision, though before that you will have to undergo training so that you can fully master this ability. If you don't, it could prove more dangerous than Weiss' father.

"How much time will that take. Won't people get worried that I won't wake up?".

"Don't worry about that, I'm able to make time go much slower here than on earth. Don't think too much on it, just know that about 1 year our time, is approximately 10 minutes back on earth. You're training will only take about 1 year our time to grasp, then when you wake up back on earth, it will take a couple of years until you fully master it. You will, be good enough to beat Weiss' father, and good enough that you won't be a danger to anyone else."

"Okay. When do we start", Ruby spoke happily. "I want to be able to protect those closest to me as soon as possible."

"Get some rest, you will start you're training tomorrow. Just think of somewhere you want to be, a home you want in the future." Just imagine it, I can make it a reality. Everything on this…plane I guess, is just a pigment of my imagination."

"Can you bring up my home?" Ruby wistfully remembered all the good memories that she had shared with her family there. Playing with her mum and dad in the freshly cut crass in their yard. Running around the house causing trouble with yang when they were little kids…

"It's alright, Ruby. Spoke the mysterious figure reassuringly, you'll see them soon enough don't you worry. If you're training goes well, it might take less time than I anticipated".

Before conjuring up the home, Ruby asked the mysterious man what his name was, as he still hadn't told her.

"Ben, you can just call me Ben. There is no way you'd be able to pronounce my real name."

Ben walked up out of his chair and closed his eyes, concentrating on the scene Ruby had pictured.

"There, all done Ruby. Get some rest. Tomorrow I'll go through your daily schedule with you and then we will begin training." Ben spoke before fading away into nothing.

Ruby peered around the area, looking at the identical surroundings to her home back on earth. Tentatively walking up to the front door, she placed a hand on the handle and opened it, hearing the all too familiar creak as she did so. Peering into the room, Ruby could tell that everything was ion the exact position as when she had last been there.

"I better get some rest, ready for training to begin tomorrow".

After having a shower and brushing her teeth, Ruby hopped into her bed and fell straight to sleep, excited about the next day's events.

Waking up the next morning feeling refreshed, Ruby got up and went about her early morning routine.

As soon as she stepped out of her front door, she was suddenly transported somewhere else in front Ben. Quickly looking around, she noticed that she was in some sort of gym space, filled with machines and even an indoor pool.

"Good morning Ruby, I hope you slept well". Asked Ben calmly.

"Yeah it was a great sleep I never remembered my bed being that comfortable", spoke back Ruby cheerfully.

"Great", then let's get down to business. I'll go through your daily schedule and then we can have small gym session. After that, you can have the rest of the day off to get to know the place, and the things here. With my powers, I have created your own city… more or less."

"Ok so, wake up time from Monday to Friday is 6am. And you have until 7:30 to get ready, before meeting me here at the gym. I'm not worried about diet; just try to minimise the number of cookies you eat." Spoke Ben, chuckling as he saw the downtrodden look Ruby had on her face.

"We will begin an hour routing here from 8:00am until 9:00am, consisting of power, strength and endurance training. After that you will have a 15-minute break before we go to weapons training. Weapons training will go unit 12:30pm with breaks in between, depending on your energy levels. A 1 hour lunch break will follow that to rest, then we have tactics training until 3:00pm. Tactics could prove vital in the outcome of a battle. After a 30-minute break you have teamwork training until 5:00pm. Teamwork is also an extremely important factor in the outcome of battles. After teamwork, you have the rest of the day to do as you please. I'm treating you as an adult, so I expect your bedtime to be not too late, although I'm not enforcing anything stricter than common sense.

"This is a very strict schedule, as the importance of mastering this power is greater than you realise. The fate of the world is resting on you're shoulders. I'm here if you need a hand with anything o if you just feel stuck and you aren't progressing. It won't be easy, but I believe you can do it without a problem."

"How does that feel?" Ben spoke with confidence.

"Could I maybe have a timetable" replied Ruby meekly.

"I thought you'd ask that, here take it, try not to lose it as it is a could lesson of responsibility, although I do have spares in case you need them." Ben spoke as he passed Ruby a piece of paper.

"Let's get to it then", spoke Ben as he clapped his hands together in anticipation.

See you in chapter 6, it will come, even though it might take a while. :/
