Marvel: Sign-In System – Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

After some messing around, Natasha finished her breakfast in a normal manner.

Then, alongside Reacher and all the other soldiers, she headed toward the training area.

Natasha smiled helplessly. In truth, she had not wanted to train today. She had wanted to rest, but clearly, that was no longer possible.

Hmph. Since you won't let me rest, I'll just beat you all up properly.

The little devil in Natasha's heart began to come out, extremely dark.

They arrived at the training area.

The training area was a large section specially divided out for this purpose. It occupied a vast space, with dedicated combat grounds, storage areas for weight-bearing equipment, thick metal targets fixed in place for punching practice, and more.

The spacious area was enough to accommodate the daily training needs of more than a thousand people from the two warbands at the same time.

The grounds had also been specially reinforced, capable of withstanding the force produced when super soldiers clashed at a monstrous level.

On one actual-combat training field, which was the size of a football field, the style resembled an ancient Roman arena. It had a circular structure, with a football-field-sized combat area below, a heavy reinforced-concrete protective wall three meters high at the edge, and circular stepped stone seating above it.

At the center of the open-air arena, Natasha tied her wine-red shoulder-length hair into a ponytail suited for battle, then took off her jacket, revealing a training tank top, long trousers, and Martin boots. Her impressive curves and fiery figure were perfectly displayed.

It was quite eye-catching.

Reacher was the same. He had a buzz cut, a training tank top, long trousers, and Martin boots. His sharply defined muscles were full of masculine hormones.

Compared with Reacher, a large man nearly two meters tall, Natasha, who was nearly 1.8 meters, looked somewhat petite.

The two stood about ten meters apart.

Once they became serious, astonishing and terrifying auras began to radiate from their bodies, gradually spreading across the entire training field.

In the audience stands, it was not only the soldiers of the two warbands who had been drawn over. Many logistics personnel and scientific researchers from the Technology Department had also come running to watch.

Matthew had not explicitly forbidden people outside the two warbands from entering to watch.

After all, this could be considered one of the few forms of entertainment on the island base.

At least, that was how it was for the logistics troops.

The Technology Department was different. They enjoyed watching battles, but they had also brought specialized instruments and equipment. After setting them up, they aimed them at the arena below.

They were collecting real-time combat data from the two warbands.

And, incidentally, enjoying the fight between super soldiers.

"Wow, it's about to start."

"Skye, hurry up."

At that moment, two street-roaming girls wandered into the arena: Jessica and Skye. Jessica had heard the news as well, so after finishing breakfast, she had immediately dragged Skye over in a sports car at full speed.

They had rushed as fast as they could and finally made it in time.

Excited, Jessica pulled Skye along and quickly sat in the Raven warband's section.

"Over here." A refined and mature-looking woman with black hair waved to the two girls.

"Director Melina." The two girls recognized her and hurried over, sitting beside her and greeting her.

As the Director of the Technology Department, Melina oversaw the various technology laboratories under Matthew's name all over the world.

She was busy, but not exactly so busy that she had no time.

As part of the highest management, what she needed to do was coordinate and appoint people.

Most matters were handled by the supervisors appointed at the various laboratories. When many experiments required the highest authorization, she would contact them remotely, inspect the situation, and make decisions.

So most of the time, she still stayed at the base and trained.

Although it was somewhat strange for the Director of Technology to spend every day training until she could single-handedly fight a modern human army, she was very persistent.

Melina had ambition too.

As part of management, logically speaking, she did not need especially powerful strength. But her vision was very long-term.

Or rather, every high-level member's vision was long-term.

They knew Matthew's future position would not be limited to Earth.

In the future kingdom, the higher-ups would also need sufficient power, no matter what field it was in. Otherwise, falling one step behind would mean falling behind at every step, and even making progress might become a problem.

"Wow. A battle between the two Warband Commanders. This is too exciting."

After sitting down, Jessica rubbed her hands together like a fly, her face full of excitement.

Skye was no less eager. She quickly focused all her attention on Reacher and Natasha down in the training field, her heart filled with anticipation.

But when the fight truly began, both girls were stunned.

Because they saw almost nothing.

Boom!

Without any unnecessary words, Reacher already understood the purpose of this fight. It was to find out exactly what was powerful about the two types of Haki Natasha had awakened.

Although they had long heard that Matthew planned to teach all of them this power called Haki, and he had even explained in detail what Haki was, knowing was one thing. He and the other soldiers wanted to witness and feel it with their own eyes.

So Reacher launched the first attack.

Compared with a few days ago, after recovering from his injuries, his physique had grown stronger by more than twenty tons. With his overall arm strength now exceeding one hundred tons, he had become faster and fiercer.

His right foot stamped down, and he activated Shave, one of the Six Powers.

At a speed beyond what human eyes could capture, he charged toward Natasha in an instant. He was so fast that it was no different from vanishing on the spot.

At the very least, none of the ordinary people present could see him clearly.

That included Jessica and Skye.

Boom!

The ten-meter distance was crossed in the blink of an eye. Reacher's tall, powerful body appeared in front of Natasha. He raised his right fist, the muscles of his arm standing out even more clearly as he exerted his strength.

A force of over a hundred tons smashed forward.

The power was so great that it even blasted a ring of air out of nowhere.

In the past, Natasha might have dodged.

But now, the corner of Natasha's lips curved upward. Without hesitation, she clenched her fist.

Buzz!

A black-purple stream of light swept over her fist in an instant. Her fist was suddenly covered in a dark, glossy sheen, and she punched back without backing down.

Rumble!

One large fist and one small fist collided, instantly erupting with a huge roar and shockwave.

The entire arena shook. Explosive waves of air burst out from the two colliding fists, surging outward like a flood.

The shockwave and violent wind raged in all directions.

"Whoa."

In the audience stands, the logistics troops and researchers were long used to this. They had already put on windproof goggles and simply gripped the handrails beside them with both hands to steady themselves, their eyes fixed on the scene below.

Skye and Jessica nearly suffered a hidden loss.

Fortunately, they were sitting on the highest level. Because of the stepped seating, by the time the gale swept over, it had already been weakened quite a bit. They reacted afterward and raised one hand in front of themselves.

Their wide eyes looked down, only to see Reacher's figure being forced back.

Natasha, whose body looked much more petite in comparison, had actually driven Reacher back in that collision. The contrast was shocking.

It also drew cries of surprise from every soldier present.

They understood the twists and details behind it.

The Astartes Warband Commander, Reacher Jack, was a standard stat monster. In terms of strength, he stood above both warbands. No one could compare to him.

Especially after his strength had surged again these past few days.

Yet he had actually been forced back by Natasha, who was not known for strength.

The contrast was far too shocking.
