But unlike in the past, his hard work was actually getting rewarded!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was growing stronger and stronger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he already pulled ahead of his peers and grew closer to the power levels of second years day by day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unwilling to be left behind, Sia began her own harsh training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took harder courses, fought stronger opponents, and spent longer practicing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she was unwilling to suffer alone, so she also dragged Sarah into this. Sarah, however, was more than willing to comply and they trained like madmen, no, madwomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, however, Sarah left after classes, skipping the evening practice, citing she had an urgent thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia didn't think much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when she finally returned to her home, she received a pleasant surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…My birthday?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You dummy! Why do you always forget?\" Varian shook his head at her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seriously…\" Sarah said and joined him in sighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia, however, couldn't stop the bubbling joy inside her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This…Tha...Thank you.\" She stuttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't know why, but this felt like a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything was going well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's future was bright. Her own future was dazzling. She had a best friend who she could share everything with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That best friend and Varian also got along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything seemed so perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cut the cake, Sia.\" Sarah handed her the knife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia looked at Varian and he smiled at her brightly. \"Growing old again, eh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You!\" Instead of cutting the cake with the knife, she used it to stab him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Woah!\" Varian's responded exaggeratedly before catching the wooden knife. Then, he suddenly shouted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wha—\" Before Sia could finish, she felt her vision turn white as a soft substance covered her face and a chocolaty smell filled her nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She…She was face-smashed with cake?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian's unbridled laughter resounded along with Sarah's subdued, but cheerful laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia's mind sense swept across the table and she grabbed two pieces of the cake. Concentrating her gravity power, she shot them at Varian and Sarah's faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oops.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ouch!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian and Sia both ducked, but the cake slices were 'attracted' to their faces. So, the slices smashed their faces anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cheating!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes! You used your powers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two confronted her shamelessly after ganging up on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\" Sia said and grabbed another cake slice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian and Sarah too held one in their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cake flew in the air and the night was filled with laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haa!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia woke up with a gasp as she found herself surrounded by sky-blue flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Varian! Sara—\" Her shout stopped abruptly and she collapsed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia covered her face and her shoulders shook violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"W-Why…\" She questioned her own sanity for coming to this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, Dream Garden was a place filled with psychic plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They'd show you the dream life you always wanted. It'd be so realistic that you wouldn't be able to tell any difference from reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's why…some people remained in the dream garden every year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They left behind their real life and lived in a simulation of a dream. A what-if.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't because they were weak-willed. But because they saw too much tragedy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some point in their life, every person would think. \"What if I did this or didn't do that? Would my life be better? Would I've hurt those people less? Would I be happier?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The regrets of the past were perhaps the biggest reasons for such actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If given a second chance, people would take it with no hestiation. Because they wanted to undo the regrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bigger the regret, the higher the chance of getting trapped in this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite knowing that, Sia entered this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a big risk. The only reason she was able to get out of the illusion was her psychic powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…I can't change the past,\" Sia muttered to herself and stood up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still, witnessing how joyful her life could've been was depressing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if…she was the sole reason that life didn't come to fruition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she had done things differently, perhaps the three of them would've been happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wouldn't have to go through so much pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah wouldn't have to drop out and face threats from Julius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian…Varian wouldn't have to suffer a year of crippling depression and the endless life-threatening situations that came after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was her fault.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia shook her head and decided not to think of it any longer. She came here with a purpose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mind Flower…\" Sia's mind sense scanned through the garden and found a particular flower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The petals of this flower were dark blue instead of sky-blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a special flower that assisted mind awakeners, both psychics and telekinetics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sia waved her hand and the flower flew into her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With this, everything is in place.\" Sia stored the flower in her storage ring and nodded to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had a good gift she could give him once they meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I should go too.'
