'Not bad, Jerry. You've really improved. I'm so happy right now!'
Ciara's mind was in ecstasy, seeing the man she loved achieve such a great feat. The fruits of his endless training were finally showing.
Of course, someone like Ciara would never say how she truly felt out loud—especially with the boy right beside her.
And so, she resorted to the usual way she communicated with him.
"Hmph! You're still too weak."
"Yeah. Yeah. Don't you worry, though. I'll soon catch up to you."
That optimism of his that never faded away, and his constant efforts to achieve that goal… Ciara was lost in its ecstasy.
Even after so long, none of them had changed in the slightest.
'Yeah… I look forward to that.' She smiled internally.
Of course, she couldn't say that as well.
"You wish! Hahahaha!"
And so, both of them returned to their Base, ready to be cheered and praised for their victorious efforts on the front lines.
