Chapter 72.6- Doom Days

The potions were arranged in order, twelve of each, and each demarcated by a small barrier in the tray that separated them from the others.

“This is the cocktail of potions I have Nicholas use whenever he decides to embark on a similarly foolish jaunt through time. Of course, he dos it so he can study time itself, not out if a foolhardy desire for power”

“Yeah, yeah, you don’t like my priorities. Gimme” I said, making a grabbing motion with my hands. She sighed. I noticed she did that quite often.

“Settle down. First I have to explain what each of these will do to you so you understand why you will be taking them. I find that when Nicholas understands the rationale behind what he is taking, he is more likely to actually follow through and I suspect you are much the same. The first is a mental acuity potion. My own brew. It will prevent your mind from dulling no matter how much strain you put it through. This is ideally taken first thing in the morning. They each have ideal times for taking them, but I have engineered them so they still are effective even if you choose to chug them all down first thing in the morning as Nicholas often tends. This potion is perhaps the most important of the four, as it is the only thing that can allow you keep up with having four days in one without breaking down.” She said, pointing at the one that glowed a bright ethereal blue.

“Four days in one?” I stumbled.

“Did you not say you were interested in accelerating your progress. Nicholas has found that at anything more than five days in one, the turner begins to exert too much force on the human body for it to be a comfortable experience. So four will be your limit” She said, and I nodded, even as I realized that tis was a far more ambitious schedule than I had dared to imagine. Four days a month for a month was four months worth of progress. Three months was a whole year.

Next, she picked up the one that was clear as water.

“This is a sleep enhancer. It optimizes your sleep so you receive unnatural benefits from your sleep. The science behind it is complex, but I can summarize by saying it converts all your sleep to REM Sleep. Of course, not just that, but that’s all you need to know about it. If you manage eight hours with this, it can feel like you’ve gotten about thirty two hours of rest. So use it right before a sleep cycle.” She said, dropping it and picking up the bright red one.

“This is for your body and magic. It will enhance the rate at which both recover to allow you have multiple training sessions as you intend.” She said, not going into much detail before picking up the orange one.

“Now this one will allow your body to handle the strain of living multiple days in one. It’s my best attempt at trying to shield you from the temporal energies you will be exposed to. Regardless, you can expect that you will be aging at an enhanced rate” She said.

“Enhanced rate?”

“You will be living four days in one. Expect to age at half again the rate as if you had lived all four days in truth.” She said and I whistled.

“Indeed. Good thing you are so young. Now take these and begone”

She didn’t need to tell me twice.

A/N: Training arc? Yeah yeah.
