Chapter 52: A week before joining the forces

I can’t ask her directly. I don’t know if she’s from Earth or not?

Let’s pretend that I enjoyed it.

Slowly I caught up to her and asked, “What were you humming? It was awesome.” When she saw me, she smiled and said, “Oh, this is the first time you have asked me anything.”

“What shit is this? I just want to confirm something. Why all this drama?” I thought, but smiled at her and said.

“I liked the tune, that’s why I asked”

“I heard it somewhere,” was all she said as she walked toward the restaurant.

This is very troubling. I don’t know whether she is related to evolution or not. I should maintain a distance from her.

I sat separately from her.

As I waited for breakfast, Diana came and sat down next to me.

After looking at her, I asked, “You want anything?”.

After she looked at me for a while and said, “I am really sorry for the last time, it was foolish on my part…” she started sulking, with tears clear in her eyes.

Does she really think that her tears will move me? What sort of bullshit is this?

“Don’t cry and don’t make a scene here,” I said, handing her the tissues.

While she gazed at me as if awaiting a response, she wiped her eyes with the tissues

When I looked at her I sighed and said, “See, I will be honest with you, we will be on our own; I don’t want to do anything with you. Even in the jungle, we will go our separate ways. I love being alone.”

Even though I love beauty, there is some standard to it, and I even do not know why she started following me.

As she nodded, she said, “I respect your decision, but I just want to remind you what Alexandra said. We will be monitored, and I don’t think it would be prudent to separate ourselves in the jungle.”

It’s also there. I don’t know what they want from us. I can survive alone, but there will be some maggots watching too. I guess I can’t avoid sticking with her, but the fact that she may be from Earth is bothering me.

With a sigh of exasperation, I replied, “We will see”.

Standing up, she nodded, “Well, I’ll see you later.”

As I stared at her vanishing figure, I thought, “At least she has some self-respect.”

In a flash, one week was over, it was time to join the Forces.

My week was spent almost exclusively with Alexandra, who literally trained me. As I learned, she was a terrifying figure in this world. I was nearly scared to death by her when she showed how powerful she was.

While I don’t understand why she wanted to spar with me, she told me it’s important to my survival. Even though we sparred, I was almost beaten to death by her. To deal with that, I bought a basic combat manual from the shop. I think I’m truly lucky to have the system with me, as I’ve improved dramatically in my combat skills.

I forgot to mention, Alexandra told me that there were time chambers in this world, and they were only available to the special forces who trained in them. Three days inside are as long as one day outside, but to power it, you need special fuel, which is from another planet.

Quite a few things in the world are very interesting, and there are specific areas on this planet, which are very dangerous.

The history of this world is quite complicated. Many things are still unknown to me. Even Eve didn’t want to tell me about them.

As I thought more about the world, I realized it was not as simple as it appears. Even though the special forces are being selected from all species, there is also internal competition between the various species.

And politics is everywhere. If you stand out too much, with a little background, you will be dealt with. So, I have to keep low-key. I can’t stand out too much before making some good connections.

Additionally, Diana trained with me during this period as well. She was also powerful, but not as strong as I was. The good thing was that she kept her distance from me.

I even got to practice with the gun that Alexandra gave me. It was my first time holding a gun. Having practiced with the guns for one entire day, I am told that they will give us the guns in the jungle. I even bought the manual “Learn the Gun” for that purpose.

As I bought a sword in the city, I was surprised to find out that there were so many sword users in this world, since there are so few restrictions on weapons.

I even became quite proficient at using the sword. I’m now more confident of surviving the jungle.

I regret not spending any time in the city. I will be in a jungle for the next six months, but to become more powerful, I must do this. Beauties can wait until I return.

In the end, the most important thing I learned was that polygamy isn’t restricted in this world. If you have the guts to maintain it, you can do it.

Anyhow, I am now waiting for Olivia to pick us up. Aside from me, Diana, Isabella, and two more men will join us at the survival camp. I found out from Alexandra that Olivia was also from the special forces, and this time, they sent her to specifically select candidates for the forces.

I saw a helicopter coming toward us as I was thinking about Olivia. Once the helicopter landed, Olivia stepped out and began walking towards me.

*****************************************

Ramos was watching a screen that showed the performance of all candidates for the evolution, but he was particularly interested in two candidates. In particular, One man and a woman.

In a snap, all the screens went blank and his connectivity to every single one was disrupted. He was quite shocked at the interruption to his power since only a few people could do it.

What is the meaning of this?” He shouted and vanished from his spot.
