Chapter 6: Chapter 6: 14 years time skip and updated status
I usually have an alarm for waking up but even without it my internal clock is spot on I took my phone from the bedside table and looked at the time 4h27 sigh Lena will not be happy about this but I needed to go running it was still dark outside but I was not tired habits die hard and I have been doing this for almost 10 years now I put my phone down on the bedside table and start stretching for my morning run after a little more than 10 minutes I got enough warmed up to get going I put on my exercises clothes step out of my room walk through the house toward the back door were my running trail was a couple of years back I ask the gardeners of the mansion to put a good running road through the gardens we have and I must say they did a wonderful job the trail extended from one end of the island back to the mansion in total it was 20 km of trail passing under the sakura trees, the gardens, the little forest of the island and then back to the mansion.
While i was running i started thinking about everything that happened since i came into this life from 1 day old to 1 year old nothing really i could almost had looked like a normal baby but when i showed my talent in music everything changed i started having musical classes with Mammy but we soon discovered that i was growing to fast so my Uncle put his mind in finding me a teacher he did find one old grumpy men, an ex student from the prestigious julliard school of music at first everything was alright i absorbed his every teaching like a sponge but as time pass he grew more and more annoyed at me i soon realize he was jealous of my talent i had to talk to my Uncle that i didnt wanted him as a teacher anymore and that i wanted to start being homeschooled and that he should start looking for suitable teachers also i told him that i wouldnt go to school until college i didnt wanted to be surrounded by kids and seeing how much more mature i was from kids my age my Uncle was not happy with this and straight up refuse my request so i had to rope Lena and Mammy on my side wich was in all honesty alot easier than i thought and with a little pressure from them and my relentless persistence he finally gave in
The next thing after that was easier I just had to show interest in the fields I wanted to grow in and my Uncle would do the rest at 6 years old as soon as I had free time between my teacher's lessons, after dinner, or before bed I would start drawing after giving Mammy a drawing of the sakura tree road we have here on the island she showed it to everyone including of course Uncle Anthony 2 weeks later an old lady from Britain came to teach me painting, drawing, coloring and everything in between!
At 7 years old i showed my love for martial arts by waking up at 4h30 every morning and going into the gym house doing weird pose kicking the air and throwing punches at an invible ennemy until one day by pure "coincidence" i told Lena what i was doing, 1 month later when my Uncle was sure it wasnt just a passing interest of mine he found an 60 years old chinese martial art master to teach me and to this day i still cant beat him this old men is almost 70 years old and still as strong as a bull noticing my growing interest in his culture and after having saw some of my paintings that was hanging in the gym at first he thought they were expensive piece of art but when he asked about it to my Uncle and that my Uncle told him that it was my doing he began to ask me question about what i think of calligraphy if i was considering calligraphy as a form of art of course i honestly answer that it sure was if i had says otherwise my dad from my first life would have skinned me alive for sure after observing me for a little longer he decided to teach me calligraphy wich i was thankful for it really helped me for the next part of my plan .
At 8 years old i start writing little story for childrens i also start writing and drawing my favorite manga of all time i looked on internet and also ask Alexa but to my surprise it was never made here ... heck the author was never born on this earth so i took it upon myself to write and share this masterpiece to the world yes i am talking about One Piece i spend the next couple of months giving birth to the first 5 volume for this project wich i was giving all my heart for i took it upon myself to talk to my Uncle first showing him how serious i was with this so when i got all of the 5 first volumes i took them to my uncle and ask him if he could bought me a publishing house .... he was stunned for a couple of seconds then laugh out loude for about 2 min until he realize i was still looking at him with all seriouness the 8 years old me could muster he couxh a little getting his bearring back look at me and ask me why i then took out my work and told him to read this and then after he was done we could talk i then storm off of his office without a word , 2 days later my Uncle came to me with eyebags so large i could have fit an egg he grab me under my arms lift me up so that our eyes were aligned and ask me with a hopeful tone were is the rest of the story i was shocked for a second and then i started laughing and told him that i just had these because i wasnt sure how he would react to my demands wich made him flinch a bit then he told me that of course he would buy it for me and support my endeavor i asked him to name it Lotus publishing house and that made him smile in sadness a little before nodding his head saying that it would be done.
From 9 to 11 years old I took things slow and acclimated myself to all the things I was doing running first thing morning, playing musical instruments after breakfast, school, martial arts continuing writing One Piece with all this I needed a hobby to get my stress level down so I asked my Uncle to build me a garage he wasn't a fan of the idea but I told him I would always take someone with me as long as he thinks I'm not old enough to be alone in the garage and this project is still ongoing to this day restoring a car with just working on it a couple of hours every week is not the optimal way of getting things done fast but I like it that way I also discovered I am a bit of a perfectionist so I sometimes redo the same things over and over until satisfied and it happened a lot of times!
At 11 years old I asked my Uncle to get me an acting coach he was puzzled but after everything that I had asked him he just rolled with it and got it done Twice a week I would have 1 hour of acting classes so 2 hours a week close to my 13 birthday my teacher told me that only college-level teaching and experience would get me to grow and that he got nothing to teach me anymore
At 13 years old I again made another request to my uncle I wanted a singing teacher since my voice had already changed I thought that it was the perfect timing to start practicing my singing voice and from 13 to now well until 1 week ago to be more precise I had done just that but just like my acting teacher he said that only experience and college education would make me grow so we parted ways.
Of course, I got multiple free stat points and free skill points from missions but I decided against using them I also got 1 new skill I wanted to grind until college before using them which takes us to today where I will have to take all of my high school exam and the SAT 1 week before my 15 birthday I could have gone to college way before my 15 birthday but again I decided against it what would be my college years if I am to young to enjoy any of it
Just as I finished thinking about all this I was finishing my run the house was already in my view I was so accustomed that I didn't even realize I had run 20 km I stopped running and started walking for the last kilometer

"Humm Alexa, can you explain to me why my stats got past 20 and why my talent stats are so different also I never asked but can you show me the description of my newest skill?"
"For your first question, it took you 6 years to get your stats to 20 then you got 1 stat point per year but it would only do that until your stats went to 40 as for your stamina you had a base of 5 at the start so this stats is 5 points higher than the rest well except for your intelligence as for your talent stats as long as you train your talent you will get 1 point a month until level 50 and since you only practice your singing and acting for 2 years each you only got 24 points for each as for your new skill here is the description"

"Congratulations Lotus for having max your first stat also you will not notice any change today such a boost in stats would make you pass out so it will happen this night when you are sleeping "
"Thank you Alexa I figured it would be something like this"
My morning run just finished with me arriving in front of the door just as I was about to turn the doorknob the door opened so fast I almost fell face first because of the momentum I had going forward for the door but I managed to stabilize myself time Lena was looking up at me with an angry expression I looked down at her and shivered a bit as she can be scary when she is angry even if I had grown taller and taller over the years and at almost 15 years old I was 6 feet tall Lena was probably one of the people I fear the most in my life
-My little Ace she said with a smile that was not a smile
Ooo god this isn't good for me when she adds 'My' in front of the usual little Ace it's never good
"Yes Lena"
"What did we say last night about you taking a break because today was an important day?"
"I ..... got no excuses I was relaxed before bed yesterday but when I woke up this morning I had the urge to run maybe I am not as immune to stress as I thought. I am sorry but if I am honest I would probably do it again if the situation was the same lastly thank you for loving me and taking care of me so much ... I love you too," I said kissing her cheeks
And finally, after so long I could see a blush on this beautiful and lovely face "Muhahahah I did it" I certainly couldn't have said this before my run this morning reminiscing about my life until now made me realize that even if I had parents in my other life I could have a mother figure in this one too and she deserved to know that I love her it is sad to think that it took me almost 15 years to realize that poor Lena she sure was patient.
-I will go take a shower eat breakfast and then I will be ready for my exams
I am not sure if she heard me she was still digesting my sudden love confession I think!
