57 First preparation (various point of views)

(Time skip)

(3 years)

Wincu stood to the side, hero worshipping gaze pinned on her master, who at present had a massive screen up and tapping away. To the side it displayed smaller sections of various diagrams; one displayed a quantitative diagram displaying a relationship between variables, the other bar graph displaying the categorical data, time-distance graph and other minor graphs totaling up; it displayed Various images of genetic functions, bones, and skins. This was what she had done previously to make the weapons back on the island. The weather, temperature of the water, depth and what dwelled within, the water Islands were not well known. After all, as land dwellers, the water was something we can never really comprehend. While Wincu watched fascinated at all the information displayed she hear her master speak suddenly, distracted for a moment.

"We don't have long before we are forced to board the ship. Preparing everything in advance is a must."

She spoke in an absent-minded tone. Even though her master lack emotion, she still drew many unconsciously mostly her, Wincu looked at her master with concealed longing but she knew she was female and that even though she had developed feelings for her master serving her was the next best thing.

As long as Wu Jie was happy…

"Yes Master Wu Jie,"

Replying to her master Wincu kept the words simple, Wincu had learned the hard way that minimal words were better to use that a long-winded sentence.

"How is your swimming? How long can you hold your breath?"

"Replying to master Wu Jie, I can hold my breath for six hours,"

"Pressure depth tolerance?"

"A depth of around two hundred and thirty feet, master Wu Jie,"

"Mmm.. Not too bad, we can continue to improve we have a few days left,"

"Of course master Wu Jie,"

Time passed the suns began to set, Wincu watched as her master stretched elongating her somewhat short stature followed by an opened mouth, yawn, those long curly lashes fluttering close as she blinked her eyes closed.

"The islands are chain islands; the largest being around thirty square miles and spaced around fifteen to forty miles apart. We will be informed this time of the dangers and are tasked a week to research. Sigh I hate water,"

Of course, Wincu could never forget how her master had utterly changed that one time.

What if she was eaten once again and lost it?

No, no, no Wincu must protect her master.

'Either way, I think that having advanced information and beginning preparation is the best outcome here."

Master Wu Jie made a move with the flick of her fingers when the B level ranked one male entered.

His eyes immediately settled on her master not even searching longer than the span of two seconds, Wincu felt somewhat threatened by this male's presence and his haughty beauty, resembling a female more than anything, she felt her master was drawn to him somehow but have seen her avoid him more than actually allowing him into her personal space.

Whenever he was near, his gaze seem to convey that he wanted to commit her to memory, it was as if he could see her secret and any moment he will expose her.

Clenching her fist, Wincu kept her head down so as to not give herself away foolishly.

"Greetings to student Tyna Jie Wu.. Student Asientes," his last sentence was spoken like an afterthought, Wincu pretended she didn't hear his voice and so, did not answer.

"Greetings, student Karl Wong,"

She said in a flat tone, gesturing with her right hand for him to take a seat.

Without bothering to hover he obeyed and sat, Wincu felt annoyed because the seat was directly opposite her master.

What privileges did he earn to dare sit and have the honour of freely gazing upon her master's visage?!

Wincu felt incensed with climbing rage.

"You wish for me to join your team, yes?"

Karl could not help how he found himself searching and immediately his eyes landing on the small girl who sat in the low plush chair she sat upon, which made her seem even smaller. Approaching and taking his seat, Karl greedily took in her entire form. Up close, his twin hearts felt like they wanted to explode in his chest when he saw what she wore.

Since she was in her private rooms her attire was not of the normal skirt and shirt for classes but of a Victorian type blouse, bosque waistline with the skirt falling to cover her calves, on her small feet were a pair of simple flats which over all gave her an extremely innocent look.

Recovering quickly, Karl answered simply.

"Yes,"

"Mmm.. I feel as if it would be a burden. Some of your teammates are not up to par,"

"My team mates are ranked well in the B level,"

Karl replied feeling a bit aggrieved, he knew what they had done but could she not forgive them?

After all, he had been trying his best for the past three plus World cycles.

"Perhaps to you, you may find them worthy, but I don't. The water Islands are located within the water, we will be sent there for a while. Many things in this place have yet to be fully explained,"

Inwardly Wincu felt glee. If Cehn was here, she would not even bother hiding how she felt because he was one who had spent time with them for a long time and had already seen.

This one.. He's something Wincu will not overlook. What if Wu Jie found worth in this haughty beauty?

Wincu can not forget the reason why Wu Jie had lost it in the first place, this one!

He contributed!

Wincu can not forgive him!

And those companions? If they joined the team, Wincu will personally slit their throats and use their flesh as bait.

"I can't abandon them."

"Then don't, I have my own people, you may leave my sight!"

master said, Wincu knew that her master was not bothered by this, but still she was rather riled at such a request.
