2025 didn’t answer immediately and a serious expression dawned over its small, cute face. It wasn’t until several long moments of silence had passed, did it finally gave a shake of its head and let out a sigh.
"No matter how hard I try to look, the system isn’t showing much. What I can conclude is that he’s worth so many points because of the jade ring and his mysterious powers. If he indeed have some sort of superpowers, then he’s indeed worth a lot."
Grace narrowed her eyes as she heard the explanation. The more they paid attention to that kid, the more important and mysterious he seemed to get. "Whatever the case, him being a part of my team isn’t on my list at the moment. Just like you said, let’s play it by ear for now."
2025 nodded its head in approval. "Do as you seem fit. For now, the system is only showing these two names. But if we ever encountered someone who will be worthy enough, I’ll immediately let you know."
"Alright." Grace gave a nod of her head in approval, and with that, the two of them returned to once again focus on their respective works. This basically meant that she returned her attention on the list of supplies she was writing down while 2025 disappeared to some unknown corner of the space.
After working on the list for a while, Grace finally stepped out of the space and into the living room of her apartment. She barely made it to the kitchen to grab a glass of water when she received a message from Kevin.
[Boss, hurry up. Everyone’s waiting here for you.]
She checked the time and realized that she was over ten minutes late for the training session. She quickly got changed and headed to Unit 2001 where her team was waiting for her.
It was only when she arrived there did she realize that they got some company. Davian and his men were also present there, waiting for her.
"You are making this place crowded." She complained the moment she noticed nearly two dozen people present in the living room that was thoroughly prepared for the training session.
"We have more than enough space." Davian returned as he took off his suit and handed it to one of his men. "You are a great fighter, and an equally great trainer. I’m sure my men will get to learn a lot from you."
She immediately glanced at the group of his men before turning her attention toward her own team. Despite their attempts, her team was failing badly at hiding their relief after once agsin having Davian present during training session.
A smirk formed on her lips that immediately made all seven of her team members stiffen.
"Why I feel like she’s about to announce something really bad?" Ryan asked Kevin in a whispered voice, feeling goosebumps erupting all over his body as he took in the devilish look on his boss’ face.
"I agree with you. I can feel that Boss is brewing a very bad plan in her mind right now." Valeska added immediately.
Before the other five could have commented on the matter, Grace was already voicing out the plan she just formed after seeing them being way too relieved and happy.
"Since we all are here to learn, how about this - you train with my team, and I will train with your men. What do you think?" She asked while returning her attention to Davian.
She watched as his gaze drifted past her and landed on her team before a knowing smile made its way to his lips. He knew exactly what was going on. As he looked back at her, he gave a nod of his head in agreement.
Without wasting any time, they made plans and Davian decided to go first with Jasper as his chosen opponent.
Everyone watched in amusement as Jasper got beaten up from the very first moment. He was thrown down on the mat for a total of four times before he quickly conceded and returned to join others while groaning about his aching body.
Next, it was Grace’s turn with one of the men from Davian’s team. Her opponent was over six feet tall and carried a muscular body. Yet, he was a piece of cake for her to deal with. She mostly used her legs and landed several kicks back to back, forcing him down on the mat on his back within a minute.
Everyone cheered as she won the first round without putting much of an effort and returned to stand on the side while Davian and Aleena took over the mat for their round.
Aleena was quick and strong, but she was still no match to Davian who was just as skilled in fighting as Grace because of the years the two of them spent fighting monster beasts in the apocalypse. After that kind of experience, fighting against humans felt like a pastime.
"Boss, why are you doing this to us?" Maven asked in a miserable voice once he realized that he was the next person to face Davian on mat.
"Since you all wanted to train with him and his team, I’m just giving you all a chance to do that. Why speak like I have done something bad?" She asked innocently, yet the icy stare she gave him and the others made them all visibly shiver.
She let out a sigh and with a little shake of her head, she headed to the mat to deal with her next opponent.
They were over an hour into the training when Aleena spoke while addressing everyone. "We need to stop. Unit 1901 is complaining in the group chat, saying that Unit 2001 is ruining their peaceful evening with weird, loud noises."
There were several deep sighs of relief as soon as everyone realized that the training was finally ending.
Before Grace could have spoken, everyone was already heading out to return to their respective apartments. Letting out a sigh, she too headed out, only to find Davian waiting for her in the elevator.
