After reaching home, I take shower and wear the best clothes I have. I do a small breathing exercise which I learned in my childhood to relax myself for 5 minutes. After that, I take my hunter watch which is also used to call other people.
I unblock the number which I had blocked a month ago and I make the call. After 2 rings, the call is answered. I see Dawn popping up at the top of the watch with like a 3 dimensional image with a little awkwardness. I really feel happy to see her and my heart just wants to jump out to reach her.
I can see her trying to smile, but she couldn't. Before she can talk I say "I am sorry Dawn. I acted as a jerk. I shouldn't have acted harshly that day after what you have done for me. I hope you will forgive me for what I did and will come back to me" Without giving time for her to speak.
Hearing this I can see a huge smile appearing on her face. I want to say more, but I couldn't, I just want to see her smile the whole day.
"I agree. You are a jerk." She says with an uncontrollable smile, "But, I forgive you, only if you promise me never to hurt me and call me every week." She continues with conditions to which I agree without any hesitation.
After that, we spoke for a few minutes before she was called for a mission by her teammate she is sharing the room with. She is currently in a city called Mazin where the animals are more dangerous than the ones in Havet. She promised me that she will be careful and will cone back to me before disconnecting the call.
I feel an immense relief in my mind after talking to her after a month. With that thought, I just hit the bed to sleep forgetting to have dinner only to be woken up by a sudden splash of cold water on my face.
"Time to eat lazy boy." Zaana says after splashing the cold water waking me up with her angry face. She still doesn't know I have asked sorry and started speaking with Dawn, so she is still showing her fake anger towards me.
I have my dinner alone as others have already had it. But I feel happy and relaxed even when I am eating alone. Dawn also said she will be calling me once every 3 days and we can still talk through text messages.
I couldn't sleep later than usual as I have already slept in the evening due to the tiredness and now my mind is full of happiness and excited which makes me feel like the most luckiest person in the world.
The next day I reach the office by 7:20 AM and started doing some warm-up exercises to be ready for the ruthless training we will be taking like yesterday.
We were informed by Jack yesterday that since the new teammates are still rookies, we are to train ourselves in combat and only then we will be going back to the patrol duty like we usually do.
The team started to come in and joined me in the warm-up exercises and Jack comes in, I can see a hint of pride and a smile on his face. I am happy to see him smiling as he was having the stress of training these people and haven't smiled for a few days.
He nods at me and starts the training which we took yesterday. But today, it is different. Since we started to interact with each other, even if it is not friendly. It released a little of the stress and tiredness we get from the ruthless training schedule we have.
I never thought Jack was capable of this, but I understood why this kind of training was not given to us, but for them. I have the backing of this branch manager and Snowfa is his daughter.
Now we get to be a part of this training because he didn't want the others to know how partiality their trainer is showing to the privileged. I am glad as he has decided to train us along with them as this will help us in the long term.
I had to start performing the Battle exercise to pull the 100 kg metal box that is tied to my back while running and dodging the incoming rubber balls.
At 1st, we didn't notice the outcome of the training we are taking, but after 2 weeks, I can see the difference, the benefits I am getting from the training.
It is very small, but still recognizable if we focus on it. I am able to pull the metal box with less effort, run faster and can continue it for a few more minutes than before. I am able to dodge the balls thrown at me with more precision. If I was able to dodge 3 balls out of 10 in the beginning, now I am able to dodge 5 out of 10.
The team was at 1st against this training schedule, but after I explained to them about the little changes I see in me, they also started noticing it and realized how beneficial the training is to them and started showing more interest in the training.
Their involvement and hard work in the training showed good results in the next month when they started showing good physical and mental strength. They also started sharing the skills they are willing to learn when they level up.
I am glad as they have gained the trust to share this information with us which I couldn't as I am yet to know what will be beneficial for me in the Ice element skill set. I didn't want to tell them about my 2nd awakening, but I decided to tell them about the battle exercise I have been performing.
They were all shocked to know I have reached the 5th move in it, thanks to the hard training. They said they all tried it, but were unable to complete even a single move due to the pain it has caused and I can see their respect towards me has increased, but not the fear they had.
