My Brothers

Having witnessed Campbell's teleportation and the leader's body petrification, I could face superpowered individuals with calm composure. From Williams onward, their abilities were surprising and unexpected. Now, even the usually stoic Bill left me truly amazed!

Bill frowned unhappily, "I need some time alone." Amidst the laughter of the others, he walked to the side, leaning against the wall and sighing. Did he find his vomit-inducing ability frustrating?

Yet, I found it impressive. His skill was like a control in a game—when enemies approached, he could shout, making them all vomit and gaining an advantage in battle.

For someone like me, a non-powered individual, all these guys were formidable characters. Though Elder Arufa and Uncle Dominic believed my ability to resist level nine radiation was remarkable, when facing individuals with unique powers like the ones in front of me, my ability seemed weak.

"Next!" Uncle Dominic shouted.

Moxi stepped forward, standing tall and smiling at me, "Yvette, watch closely and don't blink!"

I nodded, growing more and more curious about everyone's abilities.

"Transform!" Moxi yelled, and suddenly, he started changing colors from head to toe! His hair turned red, and his face became crimson. As he walked towards the wall, gradually, he vanished, just like Gabriel's invisibility.

However, he wasn't invisible; he was simulating the colors around him, like a chameleon. When he stood against the wall, even though he matched the wall's color, his clothes didn't change. It looked like a person in invisible clothes standing there. Then, I saw a row of pearly white teeth as he grinned. He began to reappear, his hair regaining its vibrant colors.

I couldn't help but applaud, "Clap, clap, clap!"

"You guys are amazing!" I exclaimed, and they responded with nods, smiles, pride, or shyness. Only Bill remained against the wall, touching his forehead in disappointment.

"It's my turn!" Joey, the last one, couldn't wait. He leaped up and darted to the roof, grabbing onto the rings suspended there, performing acrobatics like a nimble monkey.

"Joey has extraordinary jumping ability," Emery returned to my side. "If there were no roof, he could still jump up there."

My excitement grew, and I couldn't wait to join them on an outing. I turned to Uncle Dominic, "When does the training begin?"

"Shh..." Emery whistled beside me.Uncle Dominic chuckled, "Anytime is fine, but you'll need to change into something more suitable." He gestured towards my clothes, and I looked down, realizing that training in a skirt might be inconvenient, even though I wore pants underneath.

"Emery, take Yvette to change her clothes," Uncle Dominic instructed.

Emery hesitated, and his amber eyes twinkled. "Oh~" The guys behind him started teasing.

I blushed involuntarily. How could I let Emery take me to change clothes? The previous incident wasn't resolved yet.

Uncle Dominic looked at everyone's bewildered faces and slapped his forehead. "I forgot Yvette is a girl..."

"...I don't know how to react," I said. Despite my feminine appearance, people always mistook me for a boy.

Uncle Dominic laughed at himself and turned to me, "Sorry, Yvette. We haven't had a female team member here, so I wasn't used to it."

"Isn't DR a female team member?" I asked curiously. "Don't they go on missions?"

"They don't leave Noah City," Emery answered earnestly beside Uncle Dominic. "How can we let girls venture out? Girls are precious in this world, so, as men, we need to protect them. Actually, I disagree with allowing you to join our scouting team, darling."

"Don't call me darling!" I glared at him.

Uncle Dominic elbowed Emery, clearing his throat. Emery pretended not to notice and continued with a playful smile, "In the future, you can't stray too far from me when you go out. I need to protect you. Hehe..." His laughter sounded mischievous, and it was clear he had something devious in mind.

"Oh~ Emery, don't be too lovey-dovey with your wife in front of us~" The guys started teasing again. "We're all undressed here."

"Yvette, in the future, when you go out, you need to disguise yourself," Uncle Dominic said, getting serious. Emery continued to smirk beside him, and Uncle Dominic pushed him away, continuing, "You'll need to dress as a boy. Emery has a point; this world is dangerous for girls. Girls with abilities are even more sought after. You need to be careful."

"The people outside will have their eyes on such a cute, pretty, and talented girl like you!" Emery suddenly leaned in with a wicked grin.

"Just like Emery—hahaha!" Laughter erupted behind him."You're all the same!" Suddenly, Celeste, the instructor from the DR Special Operations Unit, shouted sternly. Immediately, Emery and Uncle Dominic tensed up, and Emery's team stood at attention, silent and seemingly more afraid of Celeste, the stern female instructor from the DR.

Celeste marched in with the DR female team from the passage, exuding a commanding presence. At the same time, Bill, who had been dejected against the wall, straightened up promptly and returned to the formation, looking exceptionally spirited. His gaze discreetly shifted towards Bernice, who was behind Celeste.

Behind Celeste were the calm-faced Bernice, along with Lindsay and Dawn. Farley and Amanda were absent.

As they appeared, the guys' attention was captivated, unable to look away. They were beautiful, confident women, resembling stars, and anyone witnessing this female squad couldn't help but admire, unable to divert their gazes.

"Why aren't Amanda and Farley here?" I mumbled in confusion.

"Farley is studying," Emery explained gently beside me. "Amanda belongs to the medical team."

"Hey, Kerry! Lindsay is here, heh!" The guys started teasing, lowering their voices.

Kerry's face immediately turned red. "Can you not mention Lindsay?"

"Oh~~ Oh~~"

"What's all the noise?!" Celeste's loud reprimand made the guys immediately stop.

Lindsay raised an eyebrow, looking at Kerry. Kerry stiffened, only staring straight ahead. Lindsay narrowed her eyes, exuding a hint of hostility.

Celeste led her team towards Uncle Dominic. Uncle Dominic's expression grew increasingly serious. The guys beside me, now completely serious, had straight faces, displaying an unusually solemn demeanor.

"Are you here to snatch people away?" Uncle Dominic squinted at Celeste, and his sharp gaze indicated he wasn't one to back down easily.

Celeste also stared back at him, and they locked eyes, the tension building up as if on the brink of a world war.

Suddenly, Uncle Dominic reached out, grabbing Celeste's hand. In the next moment, he went down on one knee. "Wife, it was Elder Arufa who gave Yvette to me. I didn't snatch her from you~~" Uncle Dominic's face clearly expressed a sense of grievance.

"Pfft!" Uncle Dominic's actions broke the tension, and the guys on the side burst into laughter. However, they immediately restrained their laughter, attempting to hold it in, causing their faces to twitch.

I stood on the side, momentarily stiff. Uncle Dominic, you're such a disappointment!Celeste raised an eyebrow, commanding, "Get up!"

"Yes," Uncle Dominic hurriedly stood up, bowing his head, displaying an expression of being ready to follow his wife's orders at any moment.

I continued to stand there, stiff.

Celeste turned to the guys, her sharp gaze sweeping over each one. Instantly, the guys stood at attention, eyes fixed forward. But! I saw it! Some of their glances would sneakily drift toward Dawn's ample chest!

Oh, boys!"Starting today, our DR unit will conduct close combat training together with all of you!" Celeste declared sternly. Immediately, the guys' eyes lit up with a natural and youthful desire, a desire that was pure and filled with youth.

"The instructor in charge of close combat training will be Yvette!" Celeste suddenly pointed at me, catching me off guard. Just moments ago, I was ridiculing the guys, and now I was announced as the instructor. I stood there, dumbfounded, unable to react.

"What? Yvette?!" The guys exclaimed in surprise.

Celeste directly addressed Lindsay, "Lindsay, take Yvette to change her clothes and start training!" Celeste's no-nonsense style was a stark contrast to Uncle Dominic's carefree demeanor.

"Yes!" The team members brought by Celeste were just as efficient as her. Lindsay stepped forward from the team, holding a set of black combat gear similar to Emery's.

"Follow me." Lindsay led me away. When we passed by Kerry, she glanced at him disdainfully, "Do you have any objections to being my man?!"

Kerry shivered, despite being robust and tall. In front of Lindsay, he seemed unable to lift his head. Then, he mumbled, "No, no objections..."

The other guys sneaked in some laughs.

"Good!" Lindsay shot him another glance before leading me forward.

Glancing back at Kerry, I realized that the kind of instructor you have reflects the kind of team you are. Looking at Uncle Dominic's reconnaissance team, forever unable to lift their heads in front of DR, it seemed like they would remain under the scrutiny of the ultimate wife commander.

On the other side of the compartment, there was a small door leading to the changing room. Lindsay opened it, revealing neat rows of lockers. She stood at the entrance, closed the door behind me, and I began to change into the combat gear.
