Training – Session 1

The next day:

Early in the morning, Sophie woke everyone up. Nobody wanted to wake up so early, but under Sophie's relentless pestering, they relented and got up from their beds, and freshened themselves up.

C had gotten up much earlier. So, he was working out at the backyard. Everyone was wearing sports attire and gathered in the backyard where C was already standing. The old men were also present.

"Gather round everyone."

C whispered to Sophie, "Where should we take them? To the mansion or to the island?"

"The island would be better, you know."

"I think so too."

"That's settled then."

"Okay guys, we would be going to the place where I was trained. Even the Grandpas were trained over there."

"You mean you are going to take them there?"

"Yes, and not only them. You are also going there."

"But, you need to go there via aero plane or helicopter."

"Well, you all are going to reach the airport via cars. I will go with C in the helicopter. At the airport the jet of Scarlett Inc. will be ready to transport you to that place. I hope you all have packed your bags already. Buck up guys. You can sleep as much as you want in the plane."

They nodded their heads in understanding. They went to bring their luggage downstairs, and there was rows of cars on the driveway of the Atmosphere. They got onto the cars, put their luggage inside it and then started the ignition.

They went to the airport in the cars. C and Sophie boarded the helicopter, and went towards their destination. Sophie wanted to take Ruby along with them in the helicopter, but Melania, Natalie and Giselle strongly opposed her. They said that they needed to chat with her. She could only helplessly allow her to travel with the girls. If she went with her, she would be bored, as they would be discussing various training plans. So, it is better that she went with them.

The old men chatted among themselves, and grumbled, because they were pulled in by Sophie at the last moment to instruct them along with C. They regretted going to the Atmosphere, the day before. But, as the saying goes, there is no medicine for regret. So, they could only silently do their parts. They were also secretly happy since, it was a long time since they have bossed over someone. It would be fun time for them. Little did they know that C and Sophie would draft a rigorous training plan for them. If they knew that earlier, they would have never come with them to the training island.

In the island:

It was already nighttime, when Sophie and C disembarked from the helicopter and went straight to the training grounds. On their way, they saw that a few new constructions have come up. This island was full of greenery. There were mountains nearby, fresh streams flowed. The entire land was so peaceful. There was even big restaurants nearby. They had all sorts of delicacies. These restaurants were under Scarlett Inc. Few tribal people exclusive to place was moving back and forth carrying something with them. The only odd thing here is that, each and every person of this island knew Sophie and worshipped her like God.

Whenever Sophie is incredibly upset, she cuts herself off from the whole world, and comes to this island, mingles with the people, goes to the restaurants, and spends time here. She peeked out of the window of their car to see the vast ocean surrounding the island. The moonlight shone on the black waters of the ocean. It was an incredible sight to watch. She cocked her head to the side and questioned C, "You must be thinking of bringing Ruby to watch this incredible sight, isn't it?"

"Ya." He said with a fond smile on his unusually handsome face. The usual wickedness nowhere to be seen.

Her heart pained as she remembered a certain someone, but again steeled her heart. She couldn't let these thoughts influence her actions as well as her thoughts. She thought to herself, "I need to become strong. Once, I become strong, no one would be able to hurt the persons close to me. I will make the persons close to me even stronger, so that no one would dare underestimate them."
