System's POV

Chapter 639: Having A Bad Feeling



After returning to Pangea, Thirteen immediately saw Pico and Pica talking to Rhia.

The two baby Pocopocos had hit it off with his little sister right away, so they often played with her, alongside Uncle Boo and Albion.

When the little girl saw her brother, she immediately ran in his direction, her arms spread wide.

"Bwadah!" Rhia called out happily.

Thirteen caught his sister and carried her like he always did. Rhia, on the other hand, wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek.

The teenage boy then brought his sister to the training ground and checked on the progress of his slaves-errr, trainees.

Derek was currently fighting against Drazzat, and the two seemed to be on equal footing.

Shana, on the other hand, was doing her best to dodge or block Blacky's attack.

During their journey in Solterra, he noticed that Derek's foundations were already pretty solid and that the latter only needed to gain fighting experience in order to increase his strength.

Since Drazzat was a Lizardman Commander, as well as a strong fighter, he asked him to spar against Derek, so that the swordsman would experience what it was like to fight against a spearman.

Shana, on the other hand, needed to have more awareness in battle.

As the healer and the pillar of the Hero Party, there would be times when the monsters would prioritize attacking her instead of the Vanguard.

But the only monsters who would be able to get past Roland's, Derek's, and Diana's defenses were extremely fast monsters.

Because of this, Blacky was the perfect opponent for Shana, who must learn how to survive until her team members came to her rescue.

Now that he had seen how diligent they were in their training, Thirteen entered the house and handed Rhia to his mother, Alessia.

The young man then went to the Training Room, where Erica and Rianna were currently laying down on Yoga Mats.

The two were fighting inside the GANDAM World because Thirteen was training the two of them to handle ranged attacks from the enemies.

Since Erica was a Fire Sorceress and Rianna was a Ranger, the clash between magic and arrows was perfect training for the two of them.

Originally, Erica thought that she would have the advantage because she could fly in the sky. However, it didn't take long before she realized that she was greatly mistaken.

Rianna had become an incredibly good marksman after being trained by Thirteen. She could now fire arrows consecutively while on the run and dodging Erica's spells.

Thirteen had banned Erica from using her Magic Bullets, which had tracking properties because he didn't want the Sorceress to rely too much on them.

Erica knew that Thirteen was only doing this for her sake, so she didn't complain and unleashed her fire spells left and right.

Rianna, who was not having an easy time evading the spells that were raining down on her, had a faint smile on her face.

Although she was smiling, she was taking this training seriously.

This was the first time that she was facing Erica's bombardment directly, and she was learning a lot of things from this experience.

Thirteen watched their battle through the projection and nodded in satisfaction.

He then shifted his gaze to Mikhail, Shasha, and Remi, who were also lying on yoga mats a distance away from the two young ladies.

Thirteen had added the information of the Monsters whom he had faced in the Trial of Courage.

Currently, Mikhail and Shasha were fighting against a Rank 6 Umbrafang, which was giving them a hard time.

Remi, on the other hand, was fighting against three Rank 1 Feral Monkeys.

His little sister could easily defeat a Rank 1 Monster in a one-on-one battle. However, she was weak when it came to fighting against a group, so Thirteen was making sure that she would know how to deal with these kinds of situations in the future.

Fifteen minutes later, Mikhail and Shasha removed the Neuro-Links from their heads and sighed in frustration.

"That monster is not only strong but incredibly fast as well," Mikhail said with a frown. Shasha nodded. "Fighting it in a Forest is a nightmare. Fortunately, this is only training. If we met something like that in Solterra, we might have been seriously injured, or worse..."

Mikhail and Shasha were now powerful Wanderers in their own right.

Mikhail was an Initiate, while Shasha was an Apostle.

Their ranks were weaker than the Rank 6 Umbrafang.

But due to the Divine Martial Techniques that Thirteen had bestowed upon them, they were able to fight against stronger opponents who surpassed their Ranks.

Even so, that didn't make them invincible, so they suffered losses against their opponent.

Remi, who was lying beside them, also removed the Neuro-Link on her head and sighed deeply.

"I'm still not strong enough to fight against three Feral Monkeys," Remi muttered in disappointment.

While she was feeling depressed, she felt a hand lightly pat her head.

"You're doing well, Remi," Thirteen said with a smile. "You managed to defeat one of the Feral Monkeys before you got defeated. That's already an achievement, you know?"

"But brother can defeat those monkeys easily, and we're both Rookies," Remi replied with a

pout.

Shasha gave her little sister a hug and whispered something in her ear.

"You shouldn't treat Zion as an ordinary Rookie," Shasha whispered. "He is different from

us."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Remi nodded in understanding. She was happy that her brother was training her seriously, but she was feeling frustrated because she was unable to meet his expectations.

"You're still young, Remi," Mikhail said with a smile. "When I was your age, I wouldn't even be able to win against two Feral Monkeys, yet you fought three. Being able to survive that long is already a good thing."

After getting encouragement from her siblings, Remi finally felt better and listened to Thirteen's pointers that he noticed during his battle.

The teenage boy also gave Mikhail and Shasha pointers after he finished telling Remi things that she should watch out for whenever she was fighting multiple monsters.

"Zion, you're so good." Mikhail looked at his little brother with pride. "Is there something

you can't do?"

"I can't get pregnant," Thirteen replied in a heartbeat.

"You also can't cook," Shasha commented from the side.

A few seconds later, both she and Remi giggled at the same time because they had suffered terribly from Thirteen's cooking.

To this day, they still wonder how any dish that their brother cooked always tasted like

bubblegum.

While the siblings were having a lively chat with each other, Thirteen's communicator began

to ring.

When the teenage boy saw the name of the caller, a frown appeared on his face before picking

up the call.

"Yes, Gramps? Do you need something?" Thirteen asked

Usually, Arthur wouldn't bother calling him unless it was absolutely important. Since the

Patriarch of the Leventis Family was calling him now, this meant that something very

important had happened.

"Come to the Main Residence now," Arthur ordered. "We need to talk about something very important. I don't want to talk about this over the communicator."

"Understood." Thirteen replied.

Since there was a possibility that their talks could be intercepted by third parties, it was indeed inappropriate to talk about important matters through the communicator. "I'll be going to Gramps' place for a while," Thirteen replied. "The three of you rest for an hour, then return to training. If I'm not back before lunch, don't wait for me and just eat." After saying those words, Thirteen left for the Leventis Main Residence. Fortunately, Arthur had already asked Hanz to pick him up, so he no longer needed to worry about how he would arrive at his destination.

Several minutes later, Thirteen entered the Gate of the Main Residence.

He noticed that there were a lot of guards in the surroundings, which made him frown.

'Did something serious happen?' Thirteen thought as he followed Hanz to his Grandfather's

office.

For some reason, he was having a bad feeling about this, and usually, his gut instinct was

right.
