Chapter 49 - Planning 2

"We need to be able to get in and out with your sister before the military comes to secure the perimeter. Not to mention the number of people from Enigma 7 that are disguised as doctors." Mila said.

"I still don't understand. What do you get out of this?" Joey asked, interrupting her. Mila have Joey a dead stare until he finally said "I-I'm sorry continue"

"Good, Now we will need to try and go to Stephenson's office because that would be the most likely place to find any clues of where he is keeping Rayla. The most likely place is that she locked her in his laboratory.

She pulled out her phone then placed it on the table "The only place for his laboratory to be is in his office. If we can get in and find the lab, we can find your sister, then this will all be over in a jiffy.

After a pause, she continued. "As for complications. Well, there is the possibility of her being somewhere entirely different, maybe not even at the hospital. Then we would have to rethink everything.

Secondly, Is whether or not we will be able to find your sister in 10mins. I will hold back all the doctors in disguise and anyone that tries to attack you, but I'm not god. One punch can't block 4 so you will need to be able to hold them off for long.

Thirdly, We might not be able to find your sister in time."

"The worst-case scenario is if she is dead," Joey said. "Your wrong the worst-case scenario is if we all die. You might think this is some kind of a joke because you have some skill but you don't know how weak you are."

Mila was annoyed by his incessant interruption "Now hush and listen". Joey nodded and gave his attention.

She pointed at her phone that had a blowup 3-d version of the hospital floors on her phone "You will need to jump from through the window of Stephenson office and try to find a hidden room get your sister out and leave. You will give a signal when you find her telling me to leave and we meet up with each other afterwards."

"Jump? Who the hell can jump that high?"Joey replied. Mila face palmed herself at his sad remark "See? This is what I meant by weak, you probably couldn't even beat that doctor in a fight. I would have my money in him all day of the week."

"Fine! I understand, I'm weak. How do I change that?" Mila was constantly shoving his strength in his face and Joey was getting tired of it.

"Slow your roll, One step at a time. Hand me the phone you have." Mila asked. Joey had completely forgotten about the phone he had received from Stephenson. He felt his body then handed it to Mila.

After a minute she handed him back the phone saying "This phone is going to vibrate after 10 mins are gone, After that time you should be out of the hospital."

"Do you understand?"

"Yes I do, but I don't understand how I should Jump through his window. You can see it on the highest floor."

"Have you ever heard of cultivation?" Joey thought about his answer then replied saying "No".

"Figured as much your arms pretty much look like the noodles. I just need some broth to make a good meal out of them." Mila once again started picking him apart.

Joey felt embarrassed while being picked apart by Mila. Joey felt himself to be pretty strong and sturdy but he lost all confidence.

"If this is your plan to make me stronger. I have to say it seems dumb" Joey scoffed.

She ignored his comment then said "To explain it In your terms. Cultivation is the honing of your body to achieve greater strength. Skin, Bone Forging, Blood pressure and Organ efficiency are all you need to know about for now. By honing those areas of your body you will be able to start cultivating."

"Great when can I start?" Joey asked eagerly.

"Tch, In order to start cultivating you need to be able to awaken your body's limits. If you tried cultivation right now you would blow up. The potential your body has is capped at a mortal realm. Awakening allows you to go past that realm and beyond. The more you awaken the easier it will be for you to cultivate. This will also allow you to awaken your superpower then you can be a force to be reckoned with.

"So is it guaranteed for me to gain superpowers after I awaken?"Joey asked.

"Technically yes and no, It's true that superpower can come with awakening but there are three stages of awakening. 1st, 2nd and 3rd. You would be able to reach the first awakening by the time we are ready to go and save your sister, but it guarantees only strength superpowers have a mind of their own.

Only when it thinks you're strong enough will it awaken.

So you gaining a superpower is up to your own luck. Also, each awakening gets exponentially harder and you can't cut corners. We will start once we finish up here. This will also be able to help you win the Sky academy tournament.

"H-how?"

"Hush kid, I know a lot of things. I'm also getting accepted to a high position. I was fighting for years before I got recognised. I climbed my way up through the afterlife ranked matches. It made me into a stronger woman even though it took that away from me.

"How soon will I be able to hit my first awakening?" Joey asked, stopping her from going on a tangent about her life as a supposed afterlife warrior.

Mila's was angry but she calmed her nerves and replied "About 5 days. If we are lucky enough and If we have some talent. You will also need time to get used to your body so that is a bare minimum."
