I looked at that skill again…

And I couldn't help but curse the System… what took me about 6 months of time was given to her in literally less than a f*cking hour. The world really is unfair, isn't it? Damn sh*t!
I turned to Irene, who couldn't contain her amazement and shock, so she was reading the statement about that skill over and over. I felt that the skill was a bit of an overkill for what system she had but…
"Well… that-mmpphh" what happened next made me a bit shocked as I saw Irene jumping at me as she kissed me as hard as she could, making me numb for a few seconds before she separated herself from me. I could see her excitement and joy clearly in her eyes and her wide smile. I could even see tears of happiness flowing out of her eyes as she looked at me.
"What are you-" she again lunged at me but this time hugged me tightly and then spoke,"Zero… I don't know how I can ever repay you for this. This is… too much for something you asked in return… Forget about 3 wishes. As long as it doesn't involve my family and best friends, I can fulfil all the wishes you want."
I looked at her for a few moments before turning to Linda, who was equally dumbfounded and happy. She looked at Irene with a bright smile that was no less joyful than Irene herself.
Though… I kind of made an odd expression because…
"Something is wrong with this skill," I spoke as I analysed the skill once more and the two ladies' expressions turned a bit serious and worrisome. I just looked at the skill over and over but I still don't get why was it like that? Was it my rejection fragment or was it Elle who was special?
"What do you mean by that?" Linda asked in a heavy voice and I spoke,"this skill… No, it is better if we do that. You will then understand what I am trying to say."
I then moved closer to Irene and spoke again,"Close your eyes and sit in the same position you were in before."
She didn't understand what was going on, but still followed my command. Linda too watched it from a distance and then I took out some needles from my space pocket and started pinning them ever so slightly at her mana channel points.
I have helped out a few Lunas before, so it was easy for me to point where they take their mana from. I, when I was done with that, licked my lips with a slight smile before speaking,"try pouring mana into the spine by passing them through the points I have etched the pins into."
And she did what I said and a few moments later, mana began surging into her body. We waited for about 3 hours as she continued her cultivation before finally letting the mana die down. She probably exhausted all the Lunar Mana I passed to her, so I guess this was expected.
I then saw her opening her eyes and then I spoke in a slightly hurried manner,"show me your skill," before she nodded as she too wanted to know what changes had occurred.

I looked at that skill and finally nodded in satisfaction. The previous skill didn't have what it takes to reach one of the Top 100, forget about reaching top 12. Those people were monsters, and to reach that point, Irene herself needed to become a monster.
I will pass on other skills to her once she is capable enough to handle it, but for now, I guess I can leave her with this skill. Her getting stronger will benefit me as well as I can use her using that mana contract later on. I guess all's well, so the end is well.
I observed Linda and Irene's wide open mouths that could probably fit an egg into it. Well… I guess, skills like those are rare or perhaps extremely rare these days, though later on after Second Cataclysm, unless you have at least this type of skill, you probably won't be able to survive at all. Given the atmosphere reduces your stats by more than 90% at almost all the places.
"I am not dreaming, am I?" Irene spoke and Linda wanted to know the answer to that question as well. Though I just looked at Linda and spoke,
"Well, my work is done here. Make sure to not tell anybody about this method and grow silently. If anything happens, you can call me on this number."
I then passed on a note with my number on it before walking away from there.
