C6 Around

Jacob realised Jennifer's actions.

"Damn! That chick wants to kill Benedict," said Jacob, who was ready to dart off with a shadow step but was held back by Carly.

"Trust her! There are times when one friend believes in another friend's ability," Carly says.

"But masters," Jacob said, clipped.

"Trust me already!"

Jennifer's kick was too fast, but Benedict didn't give up.

"If Jennifer kicks, then I'll throw a punch, a thousand earth fist!" muttered Benedict as he prepared to throw a punch. Both of his fists were covered in hard earth.

BAAM!

Kicks and punches clashed. Benedict didn't stop at just one punch. Instead, he launched thousands of punches into the soles of Jennifer's feet to reduce the thrust of her kicks.

"Shit! He blocked my powerful and deadly kick; what kind of strength does this rubbish have," Jennifer moaned and added energy to her legs to push Benedict to the ground.

"Argh!"

The thrust of Jennifer's kicks grew stronger, Benedict's punches also grew faster, and his punch reflexes sharply improved after training with eight times the earth's gravity. Jennifer's body floated in the air, held back by Benedict's thousands of consecutive punches.

The longer he punched, the more his stamina increased; Benedict tightened his right arm and rested it firmly on his wrist. Benedict was ready to throw bullet-fast punches at Jennifer's legs, which could no longer withstand Benedict's relentless punches.

Jennifer bounced 30 metres and went airborne; Benedict gave chase to get things back on track. With a glare full of anger, Benedict unleashed a punch as fast as a bullet.

CRACK! Jennifer's body crashed into a large rock, making the rock shattered.

Jennifer vomited a lot of blood, she collapsed, her ribs were cracked, and her internal organs were severely injured. Benedict immediately went limp and sat down; his breathing was laboured, his super god glasses were deactivated, and all parts of his body were emitting smoke.

Carly, Clara, and Jacob dropped their jaws with round eyes; level 1 could beat level 3. From the reflex movements alone, Benedict is equivalent to Jacob, who is at the top level 5.

Carly darted quickly towards Jennifer to help her, who was lying helpless, "Small stone mode healing regeneration!"

Small stones the size of baseballs came out of Carly's palm and grew to the size of a 3-metre diameter ball. Then wrapping Jennifer's body, within a minute, all of her external and internal wounds were healed as before.

Jennifer opened her eyes slowly and widened; she did not expect to be defeated by Benedict, who was only level one. Carly helped Jennifer up.

"Don't underestimate others. You may think they're weak, but they have hidden strengths," Carly advises.

"Yes, master, I am guilty, and I will keep my promise," Jennifer replied with a bow of her head.

Jennifer and Carly then approached Benedict, who Jacob had carried.

"I'm sorry if I hit you too hard. I accidentally put all my energy into it!" Benedict pleaded, bowing respectfully. Benedict felt bad for Jennifer, even though he had been thoroughly humiliated.

"No, I'm not. I am the one guilty of underestimating you. Please forgive all my mistakes," Jennifer replied, bowing respectfully and regretting her actions.

"No, no, I was just talking nonsense earlier. We are friends; there is no master and slave system,

Jennifer placed her hand on Benedict's chest, "Extreme heal!" the wounds on Benedict's body closed up again, his stamina recovered, and he was as healthy as ever.

"Thanks, mate," Benedict said with his lips forming a smile.

"You're welcome, Ben!" replies Jennifer.

"Okay, since it's a past lunch break, let's continue the training," Carly said.

"What?" the four of them shouted simultaneously and rounded their eyes. Even though they were already tired from training, they also needed nourishment.

"Just kidding, let's go to the canteen inside the military academy!" Carly invited.

"Ready, Master!" the four said with beaming faces.

They are now familiar with each other as a team, especially Jennifer and Benedict's relationship. Their fight did not make them hold grudges but made them closer as friends.

In the canteen, they sat opposite, Clara opposite Benedict, Jacob opposite Jennifer, and Carly in front of the four of them facing each other.

The food has been served, but the menu for each level is different; Benedict, level one, only rice. In contrast to Jacob, his food dishes seem very luxurious. Markopoulos upholds the principle of strong ruling and being respected in world government.

Making low-level Aetherians marginalised even worse is the fate of humans who cannot become Aetherians; they will be thrown into the manual labour sector, such as mines, oil, farmers and other lowly labour jobs.

Benedict ate with gusto even though he only ate rice; his other friends could not bear it and even saddened Carly, his mentor.

"Benedict, I recommend you level up without waiting for the team battle test. Are you ready?"

COUGH! Benedict coughed.

"What does the master mean by levelling up? Level up Aetherians? Didn't I take the level test yesterday? It must be the same result, master; it must be an error," Benedict refused, shaking his head softly.

"I'll show you later, eat this!" said Carly as she gave Benedict her chicken, Jacob gave Benedict his lobster, Jennifer gave Benedict eggs, and Clara gave Benedict her rendang meat.

"Thank you, master, thank you, friends. Now I feel like I have a family again," said Benedict, crying with emotion, the corners of his eyelids streaming clear liquid.

"Finish the food already; it'll be salty," Clara taunted.

"Hahaha. Carly, Jacob, and Jennifer burst out laughing in unison. After his parents died, Benedict no longer felt the warmth of family, making him touched by the attitude of his masters and friends, who considered Benedict part of their family.

Carly finished her training today; Clara and Jennifer returned to their dormitories simultaneously, and Jacob returned to his dormitory. Meanwhile, Benedict follows Carly to a place quite secret to meet someone, namely General Arthur.

"Report general, I'm here with Benedict," Carly said with an army salute.

"Have a seat!" exclaimed Arthur.

Carly and Benedict sat in front of Arthur, who was sipping coffee and taking turns smoking a Cuban cigar.

"What's the matter? You came to see me, commander!" asked Arthur.

"I'm recommending a level-up exam for Benedict. The general already knows about Benedict's case..." Carly was cut off.

"Yes, I understand. I agree, as long as Benedict proves his readiness as a soldier. I can give you a higher rank than Carly, the CPA rank," Arthur said with a sharp look.

Carly, who has the rank of elite Deluxe Soldier Agent, had a confused look on her face because Benedict was about to take the CPA exam.
