When all four people came together, Wilson pointed to the first man.
"This is Abel"
Abel was average height and had a cheerful aura around him. He gave Alex a smile when he was introduced.
Wilson introduced the next man, his name was Oliver, he was almost as tall as Wilson, he had on glasses, one would think he was weak at first sight, but something was telling Alex to not mess with Oliver.
The next man was had a muscular build, his name was Teo and finally the introduction got to the person Alex was waiting for, she had been staring in a different direction since the start of the introduction,
"This is my daughter, Violet "
"Violet" Alex muttered her name quietly,
When introduction was done, Wilson spoke again.
"Kid do you have a meta ability?"
Alex wanted to say the truth but he thought if he did hehe wou be left behind, so he opted for a convenient lie.
"Yes I do"
"Hmm, so what is it?"
"Well it is an ability to calculate extremely fast, and predict my future happenings to a certain accuracy"
Wilson fell into thought, he had heard of such abilities, infact if trained properly, they would become power houses.
"Ok, Oliver will handle your physical training"
As soon as Alex heard that it, was as though he was shot, he slowly turned to look at the four eyed man, Oliver gave Alex an I can't wait smile which sent chills down his spine, he wanted to complain but the rest of the group had already stepped inside the ship.
Oliver patted Alex on his shoulder and said,
"It's you and me kid"
Alex could only settle with what he got, but still something In him kept screaming danger whenever he looked at Oliver.
---------------
"This journey will take a week, and within this week you have to learn the basics of combat, your class will be eight hours daily, using the first time calculating system, meaning every twenty four hours you will use eight to train"
Oliver gave Alex a briefing of his training regimen.
Alex had changed into a training suit and was standing in the small combat platform of the ship. When he heard the brief, he immediately knew he was dead, eight hours of bodily training, this would definitely kill him.
Oliver noticed fear in Alex, and he immediately sent a kick that sent Alex flying into the wall, coughing a mouthful of blood.
Oliver looked at Alex then shouted.
"Do you think this is going to be easy, I don't know how you survived the attack on your home, but you can't bank on it always, you have to be strong to survive"
Oliver looked seriously angry at the moment, he walked towards the boy who was on the floor and picked him up, Immediately sending a punch into his gut. The punch sent Alex upwards, Oliver caught onto his hand and drew him down Immediately sending a kick to the side of his head.
After a couple minutes Alex had lost consciousness from the brutal beating he received.
--------------
"Do you think it's necessary to go that far?"
Violet asked her dad as he carried the unconscious Alex to a room
"If what that woman said is true, then this might be the one that we are to find, our job is to prepare him for what is to come".
Wilson lay him on a bed and looked at his daughter
"Watch over him"
"Ok"
----------
Alex woke up after about three hours of sleep, all that time Violet had not moved from his side.
"Seems you are awake" Violet spoke without emotion.
Alex dragged himself up, while groaning in pain.
"You probably hate Oliver right?" Violet asked?
Alex looked at her in confusion, was it possible not to hate someone after they did this sort thing.
"You would be stupid to hate him"
"What?" Alex was confused
Violet sighed before speaking.
"Oliver is one of the best people I've met in life, he has a strong drive to protect those dear to him. He lost his entire clan when he was ten, he saw them brutally murdered, but he used the pain to become someone strong enough to protect those he loves, he views weakness as a sin, because the weak are bound to suffer. When you showed him your weakness, it angered him because if you continue like that you will end up dead, and you are now his responsibility, so you dying would mean that all he fought against since he was a kid would be meaningless.
Violet stood up and began leaving, then she stopped and turned.
"It's your choice to forgive him or not, but remember that this is a world of the strong"
---------
Alex remained on the bed, he was in deed thought about all Violet had said to him, he remembered how his parents and siblings where killed, what was their sin, what did they do that could only be redeemed by death, they did nothing, their only sin was weakness, because they were weak they were killed.
At that point Alex stilled his resolve, no matter what he would become stronger and stronger.
Alex went out to find Oliver, he found him along t the whole crew at the bridge.
Immediately he saw him, he went on his knees.
"Sir Oliver, this incompetent student pleads for your mercy, I ask for another chance to be under your tutelage" Alex said out loud with his head hitting the ground.
Oliver looked at the boy and sighed.
"Get up you are immbarassing me kid, as long as you show me resolve, I will help you get stronger"
"Thank you sir Oliver" Akex said "I won't let you down"
"Ha ha ha, of course you can't let me down, if you do I will break every bone in that body of yours"
Alex shuddered as he remembered the beating he collected earlier today.
"Go rest, we will begin proper tomorrow"
Alex left the bridge.
"So you really think he is the one?" Teo asked.
"Hopefully" Wilson said looking at the direction that Alex left.
"Am sure it's him" Oliver spoke this time, he was confident that Alex was the one.
------------
Far a way in a grand construct
"So you mean someone has inherited that old bastards work"
A man shrouded in black smoke spoke.
"Good, good, find him and get what we need, he is the key to our domination, once we have that boy, we will be able to stand on same footing with that man".
