The light of the sun shining through the window. Although the curtain was able to block most of the light. It does not change the fact that a small light manage get through the curtain.

In addition to the fact that the noise of citizen in the city performing their routine manage to wake me up. I look at the watch and it says 11.30a.m. I rise up from the bed and getting to the bathroom to wash myself up.

After the bath, I ordered the Fried Rice for 5.50 Lien and an Omolette for 2 Lien. A cup of coffee for 3 Lien. All of them is for breakfast of the day.

I enjoy the breakfast that I ordered. But at the same time, I am planning to go to the Atlas. For me to do that, I need to board the Argus Limited, the train that connected the city of Mistral and the Argus, the city port at the northern most of the Anima continent.

Eventhough I can use Geppo and Soru to go straight to Atlas. I wanted to experience this train first. The train goes to through the tunnel with mountains and it is infested with Grimm.

It would be a good time to test my new power of control over Grimm on that time. I needed to see the result first and with the power of the phone, it should be a good result. I am not in the rush of anything. After all, the canon event is 2 years away.

I need to ask the phone for the distance from here to Mistral.

Za'im: "How much distance between Mistral and Kuchinasi ?"

Phone: "The distance from Kuchinasi to the city of Mistral is 50km."

50Km is quite far and from the looks of the map, it is close to the capital city of Mistral.

After enjoying my breakfast, I decided to leave this Inn. It is about time to do so since the time of my stays are up. I go to the ground floor and hand over the keys to the Receptionist girl. She says her farewell to me and I do the same to her.

After I exit the Inn, the people here minding their own business as usual. I walk to the corner hidden from the prying eyes and activate my Invisibility and Intangibility. Then, I use Geppo and Soru to head to the Mistral.

The rush of air breeze through my face as I travel there leaving Kuchinasi. During my travel, I enjoy the scenery here. A lush of green jungle covering the people there walking to the capital city of Mistral. I assumed it to be a traveler or a citizen who has business there. Still, it was a beautiful sight to see.

After a hour of skywalking, I can see the tall building from afar. It seems I getting closer to the capital. I continue my pace until I arrived at the place.

This is a capital city of Mistral. Most of the building here is a mix of Asian and Roman style. The city itself are crowded with people taking care of their own problem. The kids run around looking for stuff that interested them.

I smiled at the views as I go find to the train station. I walked to the hidden corner of the city to turns off both invisibility and Intangibility. I return back to the main road and stroll around to find the train station.

It take a while to find the station until I saw the sign 'Mistral Central Station' at the top of large building. I smiled as I entering the train station and it filled with people especially at the tickets booth where people getting in line to have their tickets for their destinations. I walked to the tickets booth and wait for my queue.

After half a hour waiting, I buy the tickets to Argus which cost me 70 Lien. I go the platform that takes me to to Argus and sit at the empty bench. Sometimes it makes you wonder if you could have just skywalking your way straight to Atlas is a better choice.

The train arrives after a few minutes of waiting. The train exterior just like picture from the internet that I read, Argus Limited. I pay the tickets to the guy who handle the tickets and enter the train. The train interior is actually better than I expected. There are even bunk beds prepared if you wanted to sleep.

I take a seat at the nearest bed before anyone else can get. Even the seats are comfortable as I look at the people finding their own seat. Luckily nobody seats with me as I prefer to be alone. People look at me as I am some kind of scary guy who does not want to share the seat in their perspectives. Not that I blame them though.

It appears that the train are starting to move toward the destination. The train moving at a decent speed. It did makes some stop at the other stations on the way to Argus.

The train is about to enter the tunnel. Suddenly, there is an alert to the passengers that the Grimm are attacking the train. I can hear the sound of panic among the passengers abroad. I look at the window and found out that a Grimm Manticores and Sphinxes are attacking the train.

A duo huntsman guarding the train climb at the top of the train to defend the passenger and cargo car. The turrets are also deployed on the train car and firing at the Grimm. It seems that a large group of them surrounded both of those huntsman.

Za'im: "Even for those huntsman, the large amount of Grimm would be too much for them."

I smiled as I think it is about the good time to practice my ability to control the Grimm. I get up from my seats and go outside to see the Grimm.

The Grimm Manticores and Sphinxes are seen dodging the attacks from the turrets and huntsman. The way these huntsman battle are rather show off. As if they were a stuntman performing a fight to look appealing for the audience.

One of the Grimm Sphynx noticed me and land at the passenger car near me, moving closer and try to approach me with curiosity.

It seems that my existence here in Remnant world is an oddity even among Grimm. These creatures made to destroy everything interest me. Perhaps they may have some form of intelligence of their own despite how soulless they are.

The Grimm Sphynx stared at me with curious eyes. I smiled at them and try to communicate with them as my eye glows red.

Za'im: "Can you hear me ?"

The Grimm Sphynx's eyes glow red just as mine just nodded at me. I smiled at the creature.

Za'im: "Can you tell them to leave ? You can destroy the train later, but I am inside this train and I don't like interference in my travels."

The Grimm Sphynx bowed at me and leave to tell their brethren to leave the train alone. Soon, all of the Grimm that attacked the train left the train, relieving and perplexing both of the huntsman. I smiled as I can hear their words from here.

Huntsman 1: "Did those Grimm just leaves us alone ? Just like that ?"

Huntsman 2: "Yeah, I'm just glad that their gone but to think that they just leave us alone."

Huntsman 1: "Well then, come on and get inside. It's cold out here."

Huntsman 2: "Alright, tell the train staff that they are gone."

Huntsman 1: "Ok."

They both get inside and tell the staff about the Grimm. Later, the staff informed the passenger that the Grimms are gone. They were grateful and celebrated with foods and drinks. Both of those huntsman joining in for the fun. The parties last for 1 hour.

I smiled at them celebrating that the Grimm were gone. They have no idea it was me who ordering them to leave them alone. It is better off that they do not know.

I look at the window and see the building with a background of ocean. It seems that the trains is about to arrived at Argus.

According to the information from internet, Argus is a port city that becomes a trading hub for both Atlas and Mistral. Atlas provided technical assistance in exchange for Mistralian natural resources unavailable to Solitas Continent. The port city is critically important for Atlas that they have a significant number of army here to protect the city.

This city is a hometown for Pyrrha Nikos, a champion of the Mistral tournament region and Jaune Arc romantic interest. She is going to die at the Volume 3, the event of Beacon Academy's destruction.

I have my own interest here in this world and her matter and status are none of my concern. She is only there for Jaune's little training instructor and his romance.

Speaking of Jaune, I am sure that his family spoiled him by now. His families have 7 sisters. I feel pity to him as he never had a chance for the training to be a huntsman. The guys feels a pressure since he is a direct line from the heroes and warriors. He is a good natured person.

The guy cared more about his image to the point that getting a fake transcript just to enter Beacon Academy. He should have known the risk of being a hunstman. A Huntsman is a serious and life threatening career. A single mistake can cost you and your teammates lives.

The train has stop, meaning that it has arrived at destination I want. I rise from the seats and exits the train. I look at the phone's watch and it says 5.30p.m. Time flows faster when I am not paying attention. Must have been waiting from the long queue for ticket booths at the Mistral Central Station.

I am stretching my legs to the city and find the harbor. If there is no transport, I can just find someplace to sleep and get moving tomorrow.

Fortunately for me I found the harbor along with big transport ship currently docks there. There are people in line giving tickets to the crew responsible for ensuring passenger paid for the service and their safety during the trips. I go the to tickets booth, buy the ticket to Mantle, costing me 100 Lien. Apparently the ticket booth staff said that the ship currently docking there about go to the Mantle in a few minutes. I picked up my pace and queue in to get to the ship.

The ship is big enough to transport around 50 people including the captain and the ship's crew. I choose one of the cabin and sits there, waiting for the time to pass.

It seems to be nothing exciting happens. I hear people walking around minding their own business. Looking outside from the window, the sun is setting indicated that the night is coming.

As much as I love traveling by foot, I cannot do this forever. I need something like teleportation ability in order to move around world instantaneously. There are times the urgent things required me to travel there in an instant.

I grab the phone from the storage and use it to browse the shop for the abilities I need. I come across the ability called Psionics or Psychic power. It let me to use psychic abilities such as telepathy, mind reading, and telekinesis. Teleportation is also a part of the Psionics as well.

Psionics actually have a power level. First is simply Psionics. The next would be Omni Psionics, Absolute Psionic Power, Psychopotence and the last is Almighty Mind.

It is time I made up my mind. I buy the Omni Psionics, skipping the basic Psionics

Za'im: "I want to make a purchase on Omni Psionics."

Phone: "The Price of Omni Psionics ability is 10000000 Lien. Are you sure to purchase ?"

Za'im: "Yes."

The phone screen flash brightly and multiple jolt come from the phone. These jolt travel all around the body and my brain. There is a small pain in my head but nothing I can handle. My Supernatural Condition are relieving a lot of potential pain my mind will experience.

The first time I use is only to buy Dimensional Storage ability. There are sudden but a small jolt entering my body and mind. It feels tickle for me bu Lt no pain. The second one is where it hurts, buying multiple abilities at the same time are hurting my body. The phone is actually send a lot of jolt, causing major pain on my body to the point a thought of dying exist in my mind. The phone did warned me anyway but I need to get stronger to survive.

The bright light from the phone screen vanished and returned to normal screen light.

Phone: "Transactions complete, you now have the ability to use advance version of Psionics, Omni Psionics."

I smiled as I can hear all the thoughts of other passengers in the ship, making me dizzy from all of those thought coming at me at the same time. No matter, I can get used to it.

The thought from the captain said that it is about to arrived at Mantle. A good news from me. I get up and leave the cabin room and proceed to climb up to the top to get the better view of Mantle.

I can see the Mantle from the top and even the floating city of Atlas. The city of Mantle is dense and industrial. The fog covering the city and giving it a darker tone.

According to the internet, city condition are poor. At least in this world, the poor actually have a shelter to sleep and job to keep their families fed. In my world, there are a lot of homeless people because of various problem either from family, economic problem or simply a bad luck.

The moment I get closer to the Mantle, there are lot of depressing thought entering my mind. I have never felt such thing on this level. A single tear dropped from my right eye. Such a powerful country yet cannot fixing the living condition of these slums.

There are also a thought and feeling of hatred toward the Faunuses here. The majority of the thoughts are coming from the elites of Atlas city.

The ship stop at the Mantle's harbor. I leave the ship's and enter the city there. I amble around to see any place I could rest and sleeps.

After a few minutes of searching, I have found the Borderside hotel. I make my way to the place and enter it. The hotel is not Inna good condition but it is the best that Mantle could offer. As for me, a room, a bed and a bathroom with toilets are enough.

The receptionist, a browned haired young lady greets me.

Receptionist: "Welcome to the Borderside Hotel, Sir. How can I help you ?"

Za'im: "A room, please."

Receptionist: "How long are you going to stay here, Sir ?"

Za'im: "A month."

The receptionist woman widened her eyes before it is back to normal. Her thought to me like I was a crazy. It was amusing to see.

Receptionist: "erm... Sir, are you sure about staying here for a month ? You don't look like you have a money."

I smiled at her and continue speaking to her.

Za'im: "Yes, tell me the price."

Receptionist: "The price 15000 Lien, Sir."

I materialize the 15000 Lien right in front of her on a desk, shocking her in the process. She stared at the money just suddenly come out of nowhere.

Za'im: "Count it, then."

The receptionist woman snapped from her thought and nodded in agreement to count all the money on a desk. It takes a few minutes before she finished counting. She stared at me for the moment. She question that how I was able to get the large sum of money, along with my ability. She also thought that I was some kind of powerful figure from another kingdom.

Oh she have no idea how right she was. I am that powerful, literally.

Receptionist: "Y-yes, I lead you to the room you want. Right this way."

She nervously lead me to the room I wanted. The room is at the top of the floor. She stopped at the room, opened it with her key and enter the room. I look at the room, a simple bed with a bathroom and table to eat. Just what I need.

Za'im: "Is this is going to be my room ?"

Receptionist: "Y-yes sir, this is you room. If you have any question please inform me and I will do my best to help you."

Za'im: "Good."

Receptionist: "Enjoy your stay, sir."

She left in a hurry. Seemed that woman does not want to offend me. No matter, I take a bath and hop on to sleep.

It is already a night and I need to rest.
