Shovels In Spades

Daz had promised to meet up with Rose, Crusher, Dorian, Madison and Vanessa shortly via text. However, first, he went to a training room in the general amusement centre. Naturally, he wanted to use his Class Upgrade Token.

"It's so weird how my instincts are screaming at me to use this thing now. I wanted to think it over a bit longer, to be honest," Daz complained as he sat down cross-legged on the foam flooring of the training room that he was in.

The room was pure white in colour and could be changed into any landscape with but a few words from its occupant - Daz. He could also summon enemies or dummies to act as training partners, but he didn't care about that right now. He was only here for some privacy and some space to think over his coming choice. Training could come after that should the need arise.

Reika floated around lazily and stopped in front of his face. 'Do you know why your instincts are being so loud?'

Daz shook his head. "I have no clue. I'm guessing it's because the people I'll be challenging with my tickets for the skill cap upgrades will be stronger than me? I'm not sure, but that's the theory that makes the most sense."

'Hmm... What if Fort Skip will come under attack the moment this auction is over? Surely then, you won't have the time to choose your class upgrade. At least not with a calm mind,' Reika suggested.

Daz raised an eyebrow. "I'm pretty sure that's impossible. I don't want to say it's entirely impossible, but I'm confident that very little time has actually passed outside. Like, what, just over four hours? And everyone on Earth is in the auction right now."

'True. Hmm... We do not know why your instincts are reacting so violently, then,' Reika said as she shrugged her astral shoulders.

Daz just rocked his head from side to side once more and sighed at the tiny demon princess' actions. "System, I'd like to use my Class Upgrade Token now, please."
