Tough Call [Pt 1]

In the just-concluded war, many people exceeded my expectations and were prime for an upgrade.

'Maria, Ana, Edward, Ciara, Jerry, even Ivan.' They had all done exceptionally well.

I also needed to teach Lemi more about her current abilities.

'So much to do, so little time…'

And, yes, there was one other important thing I had to attend to.

Considering the challenges ahead, it was better to rip the band-aid off as soon as possible… for their sakes as well as mine.

'It's time I reject the girls!'

This was going to be one of my toughest ventures yet.

"Pfffttt!!!" Jane laughed once again, most likely because of my girl problems.

"Tch."

Everyone else looked confused about her outburst and my glare. It was none of their business, anyway, so I decided to conclude the meeting.

"Thank you all for coming. Hopefully, we meet again in more favorable conditions."

Though we had a good time together, it was finally time to return to our homeland.
