*Chapter 3: Awakening and Freedom*
Derin's eyes snapped open, and he felt a surge of energy coursing through his veins. He looked around, taking in his surroundings. He was in a familiar place - the park where he had met Alex earlier.
But something was different. Derin could feel it. He looked down at his hands, and they were glowing with a soft, white light.
Suddenly, a notification appeared in front of him, like a holographic screen.
_Awakening Confirmed_
_Class: Time Reversal_
_Rare Class Detected_
_Training Mode Activated_
Derin's eyes widened as he read the messages. He had gotten his awakening! And it was a rare class - Time Reversal.
A figure appeared before him, dressed in a sleek black outfit. "Welcome, young one," the figure said. "I am your mentor, here to guide you through your training."
Derin looked up at the mentor, eager to learn. "Let's get started," he said, his voice firm.
The mentor nodded. "Very well. Your training will be intense, but with dedication and hard work, you will unlock the full potential of your class. You will be training at a facility that comes with your class. It's a skill-enhancing environment that will help you master your powers."
With that, the training began. Derin spent hours honing his abilities, learning how to control his powers and use them effectively. His mentor's voice was a constant presence in his mind, guiding him and advising him.
As the training came to a close, Derin nodded, feeling a sense of determination. He was going to master his powers, no matter what it took.
As he walked out of the training facility, Derin felt a sense of freedom. He was finally learning to control his powers, and he was ready to take on the world.
He met up with Alex and Sophia, who were waiting for him. "Dude, where have you been?" Alex asked, concern etched on his face.
Derin smiled, trying to think of a believable excuse. "I went for a walk," he said. "I needed to clear my head."
Sophia looked at him curiously. "You've been acting weird lately," she said. "Is everything okay?"
Derin nodded. "Yeah, everything's fine," he said. "I just been training a lot, trying to get in shape."
Alex nodded. "We've got a new gym opening up downtown," he said. "You should check it out."
Derin smiled, feeling a sense of relief. "Yeah, maybe I will," he said.
As they walked together, Derin felt a sense of normalcy. He was glad he could keep his secret safe, for now.
"You're doing well, Derin," his mentor said, his voice echoing in Derin's mind. "Just keep practicing and you'll get the hang of it."
Derin nodded, feeling grateful for the guidance. "Thanks, mentor," he replied silently.
