"You mean you didn''t get to see the face of whoever did this to you." Ace said.


    He couldn''t believe what he was hearing from Dn; it sounded quite unbelievable to him.


    "Yes, the only thing I saw was someone grab me from behind, I tried to fight back but he was too strong," Dn said. "I tried using my hardening ability but his hands were still able to easily prate it."


    Luis could tell that Dn wasn''t being entirely honest as he could feel his heartbeat increase from where he was sitting and that''s what prompted him to do something.


    [ Mind read activated ]


    ''I hope they buy that, telling them the truth can be dangerous.''


    ''So you''ve decided to lie to us, Dn.'' Luis thought with a deep feeling of disappointment.


    "And you didn''t even get to see even the tiniest of details on the person''s face?" Ace asked, still feeling doubtful.


    "He didn''t allow me to," Dn said.


    "It''s okay, we are just d you''re okay and hope any of us don''t run into people like that again," Luis said.


    "Yeah." Ace said with a calm tone.


    "Thanks, guys," Dn said. "For making sure nothing happened to me."


    Luis knew that word wasn''t entirely sincere as he still had his mind read on and could hear everything he was thinking.


    "Don''t mention it." Ace said.


    "Good night guys," Luis said as hey down on his bed and turned toward the wall.


    "Good night." Ace said with a yawn as he dropped onto his bed and covered himself with his sheets.


    Dn was thest to lie down on his bed as he kept looking toward Luis'' bed.


    ''Sorry guys.'' Was hisst thought before slowly lying down on his bed and Luis had heard it loud and clear.

    The sun shone brightly over the mountain as its rays reflected through Michael''s bedroom window.


    He was still lying on his bed asleep with Nicole sleeping in his arms and a white bed sheet covering their bodies.


    The rm clock soon began its annoying beeps and all that was needed to shut it was a little wind sh from Michael''s hands which disabled the digital rm clock in a not-so-good way.


    "You could have just stretched your hand and pushed the button," Nicole said with a yawn as she stretched her hands.


    "That''s my daily routine dear," Michael said as he turned to face her.


    "And how many rm clocks do you end up breaking in a year?" Nicole asked.


    "None, that same one gets to take the hit every day, I always make sure I repair it before going to bed," Michael said.


    "You repair that?" Nicole said in astonishment as she pointed at the rm clock which in no way looked repairable to her.


    "Yeah," Michael said. "But we shouldn''t be talking about a stupid rm clock now, should we?"


    Nicole had gotten lost in his eyes as he leaned in for a kiss which soon turned into a very passionate kiss until he was interrupted by notification sounds.


    "What now?" He turned to the table beside his bed with a swirling wind revolving around his hand but he didn''t have the guts to do it again as he saw that the sound wasing from his tablet.


    "Why don''t you just do it?" Nicole said.


    "If I destroy this one I''m not exactly sure I might fox it the right way or else I would have shed it into two now," Michael said as the wind around his hand disappeared.


    "I should probably get off this bed before you decide to sh me into two thinking you can fix me after that," Nicole said as she covered herself properly with her robe and got up from the bed.


    "I''m not that crazy Nicole," Michael said getting up with the tablet in his hands.


    "I know, I''m just kidding," Nicole said but Michael didn''t reply as his attention was now on whatever he was doing on his tablet.


    "Oh," Nicole said. "So what are you doing now?"


    "You asked me yesterday if my students were ready for thepetition," Michael said.


    "Yes."


    "Well, I''m trying to send out messages to all of them so that we can have an intense training today," Michael said, returning his attention to the tablet.


    "How do you n on doing that?" Nicole asked.


    "What?"


    "Sending them messages, you don''t have the tablet used in monitoring the watches."


    "Of course I do, I built the watches," Michael said.


    "Oh yeah, I forgot about that," Nicole said.


    She stood there for a while watching Michael tap his tablet before she eventually got bored and decided to leave.


    "Where are you going?" Michael asked.


    "To take a shower." She said, "You did terrible things to mest night."


    Nicole returned after her long shower to discover that Michael was gone and had left a little note for her on the table.


    ''I''m off to prepare my students, there''s a teleporter on the table that will take you to your apartment.'' She read the text in her mind.


    After reading the text she turned her gaze to the table to see the small teleporter ball.


    "The one idea he doesn''t want to share with anybody yet." She said as she picked up the ball.

    Michael had added the word urgent in his message and the word had done the trick as all his students had assembled before he arrived.


    "I hope you guys are aware that the schoolpetition will be starting this week?" Michael asked.


    "Yes." The students replied.


    "The essence of thepetition is to choose those who will be participating in the tournament so if you want to participate in the tournament you''ll have to take this training seriously."


    "Are you going to teach us more martial arts moves…?"


    "Or are we going to kill some demons with the VR headsets?" Henry said, adding his own question before Monica could finish what she wanted to say.


    "No, this is going to be an intense training," Michael said.


    "Intense as in?" Dn asked.


    "We are going to start from the top, that''s the physical training and we''re going toplete everything that''s why I called you guys out early."


    "The military training." Dn felt like freaking out.


    "Do you want to kill us, man?" Henry asked.


    The only people who weren''t showing their reactions after Michael''s announcement were the three girls and Luis but that didn''t mean they were happy and okay with it.


    ''In as much as my ability helps me to reduce the amount of pain I feel but those training took a heavy toll on my body.'' E said in her mind.


    ''Yeah those physical activities were a little too much for kids like you then but you can''t deny it didn''t improve you in some way.'' Jasmine said. ''And besides, now that you''ve done it before it won''t be too much for you.''


    "What does he mean by intense training?" Orah bent towards Luis to ask.


    "You have no idea." The Angel said, shaking his head.
