"I just got a report from the chairman that he has decided to accelerate your training schedule. Probably in the next few days, an announcement will be made, and you will go straight into your first mission."
Shaan nodded his head. "Alright, I understand."
"I just hope you use your remaining time well before you go on your first mission." Mr. Maximus immediately patted Shaan’s shoulder vigorously. "So, how was the match? Have you managed to beat Theo?
" Uhm.... about that.. I was close to beating Theo, but he used his special power, and I lost." Shaan lowered his head limply. "I’m sorry, Mr. Maximus, even though you trained me so hard, it seems I’ve only ended up disappointing you."
"Disappointed?" Mr. Maximus laughed out loud. "Of course not, Shaan. I’m just happy that your strength is already much stronger than before. You almost defeated Theo, and that’s good progress."
"Re-really?"
"Yes, of course. Now go back to your room and rest."
