- Back at the ANGEL base -
"Leader... it started early."
"Nothing to worry about. Order the resources to be distributed out to all our members. We will do our best to allow as many members to make it in the top rankings."
"Yes sir. Anyone in particular we should hand more out to?"
"Give the members who have done exceptionally well in their previous missions and tests."
The man nodded and began to leave.
"Actually add the name Lucas Phillips to your list too."
The subordinate looked confused but did as he was told. He began calling the storage bases and a few kilometres away, trucks had started to load boxes and drive towards this main base.
Everyone had work to do.
- In Madam Clarks mansion -
"Awaiting your instructions Madam." Aaron stood by the door while waiting.
"Go gather the all resources this family has. Start handing it out to all my extended family members, and remember to give half of them to my Belle."
"Yes Madam." He hurried out the room and began to scribble down a list.
- Back to Belindas residence -
'Oh mother must be busying the hell out of herself now. But this early tournament is a chance for me to become stronger. I can now have access to the resources a year earlier. Would I get in the top rankings though?'
Belinda paced herself around her room. She picked up a notebook and pen and began to make a list of things to do.
'Continue training everyday... Continue research... Find out all participants and allies... Wait for mother's resources...'
At the end of her list she drew an arrow and wrote something down bold.
'GOAL'
She circled it. 'I'll reach it someday.'
