After raising his stats, his body was also looking and feeling much better, his features started to fill out as his strength stat increased, he went from skinny to looking more like an athlete. As his agility was raised he also found he was much more flexible than previously. He no longer got tired doing the daily missions and he was able to better use the telepath ability as well as his original ability much better than he used to.

With the increased intelligence the range at which he could use his telepath ability was larger than he had previously been able to use it, and he now was able to enhance his body to a much higher degree so much so that he was able to do feats that would be considered superhuman. He found that by focusing the enhancement to one specific part of his body it would be stronger than if he reinforced his entire physique. He still wasn't able to use both abilities at once but coming into the awakened school with two abilities opened up more opportunities for him than anyone else.

Corinna saw him off to the train station where he would be able to ride to the docking point that the Awakened Academy was located at. Coming with him was Krista, since they both were going to the school they decided to ride the train together. Corinna had tears rolling down her cheeks as she said goodbye. Milo reassured her that he'd be coming back any chance he got and to not worry. She then went onto the usual spiel about making sure to do his laundry, wear clean underwear everyday, and all the other things moms would tell kids before they left on a big journey. She said bye one more time trying her best to keep a brave face, but reading her mind with the telepath ability allowed him to know what exactly she was thinking. He reassured her he'd be fine one more time and he had a friend coming with him so there was no need to worry as she'd keep him out of trouble.

After saying their goodbyes Krista and Milo boarded the train and headed to their cabin, it would be a one day train ride to get to their destination so Milo did his daily mission before they left, the train had accommodations for those riding it including a buffet and rooms to sleep so Milo and Krista took their bags to their room and headed off to get something to eat. While on the way they passed many people and Milo was able to see if any of them had abilities, with it having been five days his plunder skill cooldown was finished and he was in the market for another ability. After making their way through the train to get to the buffet he found an ability that intrigued him.
