[Training and Surprise!]

'Okay, I totally got what you were trying to convey...'

*pant* *pant*

I groan and try to move a little as I was lying on the floor.

'Okay, that was brutal...I did learn a new thing though'

[CON +1]

'Why did I never realize that I could increase my stats like everyone else. Anyway, maybe I can quit the team while I am at it...what the fuck was that training.'

"Alex"

"No, you can't change teams."

'...'

I know I may be exaggerating a little bit but fighting 3 Robots who have the same stats as me while sparing with wooden daggers was so not fun. Plus those bots were learning my fighting style little by little and it was getting increasingly difficult to fight against them. I looked around towards everyone else and they seemed fine, 'Why the fuck are you not lying down and rolling on the floor like me...you are making me look bad...yeah I see you! Jack, I'll get back to you for that smug smile...I never noticed, was Jenny always this cute… Inspect'

[C-cup,89-cms]

'Not bad...not too big not too small, well on her athletic body they do look cute. Her sweat covered vest is sticking them like glue and they do paint a nice picture…*chill*'

'Why am I feeling danger...ok she is glaring time to look innocent… Alex mate, stop observing me every time...'

*sigh*

'This team is weird...feels like home!'

---------------------------X0X----------------------------

-----Alex's POV-----

'I was right he is a pervert. Why do powerful abilities show up in Individuals who aren't right in the head.' I look at my new team.

'Wonder what plan Dad would come up with now, his ability is superb for any team though… I'll need to find some girls to satisfy the pervert. The ability to manipulate space, good combat instincts, superb reflexes, a very good weapon...' I looked back to the sword used by Zeke, 'That sword was made from the bones of a grade-3 beast, and the sword was snapped in half like it was common steel. Those daggers of his they are made from at least a grade-5 beast, If he could afford daggers made from a grade-5 beast there is no way he would be at a loss for credits. Although his history came clean, from where did he acquire those daggers. There is a possibility that he stole those daggers and that is the reason that he was running to The Space Ring.' I observed Mike as he was staring at Jenny's chest. He seemed to be wearing normal clothes now but the armor that he summoned back when fighting Zeke and Jennifer sure was something.

'He seems a bit stupid if he was someone who was trying to infiltrate us, most probably he is a thief. I need to keep an eye on him but I guess he seems to be enjoying checking girls out. Maybe I should arrange for the receptionist to have some alone time with him… If he passes the surveillance test and is not a spy then we need something to bind him to the group.'

"Right everyone, get familiar with each other's fighting style, we have 3 hours to try and work as a team. So we will each say the most confident role that we can fill for the team. The 5 main roles are:- one Sniper, 2 front-line fighters, and 2 mid-range support."

"We will start with Jenny"

"...Front-line combatant."

"Stan"

"...Mid-range support."

"Jack"

"...Mid-range support"

"Mike"

"Sniper"

"..."

"...Mike your accuracy is 40%" 'maybe he likes to get a rise out of me, I swear I saw him smirking back when he mentioned his space manipulation ability.'

"When I get to higher ground I could feel the space around me for a longer distance and hence locate the target. Even without that, I could mostly pinpoint the location of almost everyone within the range of my scope."

"..."

"Okay, we will test that theory for the first mission, If it works out then I will be a front-line and you will be the sniper, otherwise we will switch roles if your performance is not satisfactory."

He shrugged and I notice Jenny giving a pointed look at accepting his theory so easily. 'Guess little Jenny noticed him checking her out...bravo now I need to assure her too.'

"Alright enough rest, 2 more hours before you guys are dismissed for the day..."

*groan*

*groan*

*groan*

*groan*

'Yup 4 groans...music to my years...'

---------------------------X0X----------------------------

-----Mike's POV-----

*groan*

'Everything...hurts...ouch...ouch...finally it's fading away' I still pretended to struggle as I lay awake on my bed. 'The room that Alex left me was a big white ball of happiness, totally unlike the office of his dad...nope if there is a chance I don't wanna step foot there again…'

*sigh*

'Finally, what's the point of the gamer's body if I still feel pain. I guess it is necessary to train reflexes to dodge the incoming blows but still, you know it still...'

[Ping!]

[Someone else from the same species as you completed the Legendary Quest and bound the system to himself.]

[World Objectives Unlocked]

[Team Unlocked]

'...wait, what...Zoey what happened.'

[Another human just completed the legendary starting quest.]

'But how?'

[Because of your sabotage of the Frost family research lab there is a possibility that another test subject escaped the lab and after escaping completed his quest.]

'Can we locate him?'

[Yes! There is a message function in the team tab, you can try contacting him through that.]

'Yeah let's see...whats this anyway… World Objectives'

[Wike White]

[Reme Storm]

I clicked on Rene Storm's name a new window to send a message appeared.

[Mike: Were you trapped in the facility?]

… 'waiting'

… 'waiting'

[Reme: Yes! How did you know]... 'Finally...'

[Mike: I was too, they tried to extract me but I had completed my quest so my regeneration was far faster and thus I managed to sabotage their operation and run.]

[Reme: Yeah I think because of that they forgot to dose me again and I killed the researcher in the room. That gave me a lot of exp and I completed the quest. Then my assistant advised me a path by copying the researcher's appearance and I just ran away from the facility about an hour ago. I don't know what to do I can't go back to my family because they will know...where are you, you did not go back right?]

[Mike: Yeah I joined a mercenary group in The Space Ring...Do you wanna come here, I could probably arrange a pick up for you...]

…

[Reme: Will you, please help me…!]

[Mike: Okay go to the space station and buy a ticket for The Space Ring. I'll arrange for someone to pick you up. Message me when you are done buying the ticket and send me the details. I am sending you 2000 credits, tell me your watch I.D.]

[Reme: ThankYouThankYou...ThankYou! I'll message you soon, Watch I.D.-#FR102453]

I closed the interface and used my watch to message to Alex and transfer 2000 credits to Reme.

[Mike: Hey Alex, I found another person with an ability like mine. I asked her to come to The Space Ring, can you help me collect her.]

…

…

'Okay, maybe he is busy… I need to go to the station to collect her myself I guess...'

As I opened the door I notice Alex coming towards me with a deadpan look on his face…

"...Ticket no?"

"I don't have that yet but her watch I.D. is #FR102453"

"You coming?"

"Might as well..."

'Yup just a normal conversation with a robot...'
