9 years had passed and many training opportunities had been had while there were more missions to carry out.
The young Gene had matured into a beautiful thirteen-year-old girl and she was seated on a tall ancient tower with engravings on it.
She overlooked the world below with a relaxed expression on her face.
Many lessons had been learned over the 9 years and among them was how to keep her mind tranquil and calm.
A purple demon-like cat girl was seated nearby with a bored look on her face which was Zimo and further away was a short and fat male who looked to be in his late teens with goggles on, dressing in military-style clothing, blue hair, and holding a sniper rifle.
Vasili was picked up by them after he started following them around after they helped him out of a dangerous situation.
He was previously a poacher who hunted dangerous dinosaurs but had finally met his match when he almost lost his life.
Vasili later gained a boost to his physical abilities while unlocking his potential and senses to best suit a sniper role so he was armed with an advanced energy sniper.
Footsteps were heard nearby as a purple-haired woman with brown eyes stepped out from the tower's inner chambers.
Her name was Holly and she was one of the founding members of the witch coven that Dr Blush established.
The tower they were in was her magic tower, the arcane tower and others existed for the other founding members.
Holly was holding a divination crystal ball as she approached. "My divinations are not changing. I cannot see too clearly what the cause is but there will be many troubles coming soon. I think that you three should increase your efforts and I will point you in the direction you need to go."
Holly had a magic power level somewhere in the millions like most with a long history with ALCHEMI but her attainments in Ki were much lower.
Gene, Zimo and Vasili were only within the early thousand power levels or below so Holly seemed to be quite powerful in comparison despite her lack of Ki and physical capabilities.
Gene. "Okay."
