Mike never liked to spend much time in the kitchen, but since it was a part of training he didn't try to rush, especially since he could get hurt if making mistakes while cooking with closed eyes. The training consisted of feeling the shape of the world around him using his power, and his ability, he started thinking about it like a third arm,
But now after the assistant words and the notes about the Bloody Hand, now he thinks of it like an unshaped part of his body, something he can give form by thinking about it, but it was hard, is easy to say but hard to do, anyway, he got it quick, that alone was what surprised the assistant.
Under the assistant guidance and he improving, cooking took some time, but less than expected at first.
-So... I guess you already set the other parameters and started constructing your body, is there nothing more I can do to train this power? something to do while your body is not yet complete-
-The parameters were mostly set before you leave the laboratory, master Blood. My main body will take just a few more minutes to be prepared, not worth for the time to prepare another method for training-
-That's faster than expected. Also, since the very start I hear you calling me master, and sir, and other titles, why are you changing the naming?-
-Asking that is normal since you grew up in a world with less technology than what the guild has, I can process what humans call complicated things like logic and math in a very short time compared to humans, but in personal relations, I can change and my personality can change also, like living creatures, we artificial assistants and artificial soldiers, a.k.a. android equipped with AI, were made that way by the guild so we can integrate easier with humans and other species. Why I call you to different names? I needed to translate from my original language to your language the words, and just tried various times until I feel I feel good about the way I talked to you and not offend you while showing obedience, 'Master' is the word I think will fit perfectly with my behavior, and the best way to address you with my main body from now on, Sir, was the word I felt like calling you before constructing my main body-
-I was about to say that was too long of an answer, but that's good info, so no sarcasm this time-
Mike just took some rest and went to the living room to watch TV. After some time, the assistant informed him the body was already finished and was in the process of meeting him, but this time the assistant used a female's voice, which was not surprising since what the assistant told him earlier, the surprise thing was a not-surprise he already expected while the android arrived in front of him.
-Master Blood. - Said the android with a cold female voice while bowing respectfully to him in simple maid clothes.
-...- was Mike's imagination or did the android look very much like a normal human? But anyway, the shock was very fast and he went to it to inspect... the functionality of the body, nothing more.
The assistant stood still and let Mike inspect its body without complaint.
-It feels like I am watching a living person- he touched its "skin" and it felt like a real person's skin -what about combat, you can do that too.- he asked casually.
-I have Combat instruction in my body like every android manufactured by the Guild, but I am merely an assistant with no great combat capabilities like an android soldier from the Guild, still in all Gaia there is no common human who can beat me in combat, as for PhySEC users I can stand against them easy against most of them, certain abilities can be tricky for me to fight against, if they don't use their powers, then I can certainly stand against most of them for sure, I'm also resistant to common weapons-
-That's... very powerful- said Mike while looking at the android, the assistant's main body was as he instructed first, female, with a fit body, a beautiful face, and a cold voice. He decided on a cold voice just because he was used to the mechanical voice from before but didn't expect the voice to fit the body so perfectly, and also...
-"Is fucking beautiful, it's sad is just an android"- he said in his mind and almost even in a loud voice. The only thing he felt sad about was its chest area, but since it had combat skills then it was good to be somehow flat... or at least those were his thoughts about it just to convince himself it was fine.
But most importantly, he was ok with getting the android to train his Bloody hand, nothing more, so he went right to the topic after looking at its body.
-Well, you said you needed the body to help me train, why? How does it relate? -
-Yes, you do need me to have my main body for two reasons, first, I can clean the house, your grandfather made sure to leave the house clean before you arrived, but he took the other androids with him when left, and I was left behind for you to use as assistant, but never completed my main body. The second reason is to train your powers, but there are many ways I can help with, like to explain now. If you want to understand, let's go to the training area, in there I can explain to you-
Mike just followed the android and in the way, he learned that its energy could last for months without recharging even if it helped him to train every day and use its functions at maximum.
-Now master, please close your eyes like in the training, and try moving around the area-
Mike did as it said and then the android went to a certain place.
-Now what? what can you help me with in the training? - as he finished his words, he felt something hit his abdomen, not with too much force, but gently, he scanned the thing that then fell to the ground, but could guess by the sound of it? -a... ball? where did you get balls from?... heh, funny, where did you get the balls... wait no, serious question-
-Is a tennis ball indeed, master. The hard part of this training is to determine where the ball comes from, not to evade it, at least for now, and then block it with your Bloody Hand when you can tell easily from where it comes, it is important that you must understand from which direction it comes, because it will help in future training methods-
-That would be... hard... I like it, keep launching them with all your force I can stand it-
-No matter, that... you can't stand my full force- those words felt like insulting him but also, he could not refute for some reason, this android was almost a killing machine -And there is one more thing, master, you need to work tomorrow, so exhausting you physically will be bad for your health and work performance. When you have time, I will show you ways to train hard, but in moments like this I will show you another kind of training, first tell me how much distance you can reach with your power-
-I don't know exactly, 2 meters maybe? - said Mike somewhat insecure.
-My scanners while you used your ability to get rid of the thugs in the garden show another thing, almost 3 meters if I'm not mistaken.-
-That's because I used all my force to not get beaten-
-I know, but I don't look for your average distance but your total, well... it might be beneficial to you today- said the android, but the last part of it was in a lower voice.
-What? -
-Master, please use that machine in there- the android pointed in some direction, a strange device was there, most of the devices in the training area Mike didn't know what were those for, this time he was about to find for what was one of those, so he ignored that he wanted to ask the android what did it just said, and walked over the device.
The device was composed of a ball-like thing in a pedestal and some kind of screen in front, it was totally shut off, but it was turned on suddenly, clearly, it was the assistant actions.
-Now what? -
-Place your hands on the device, the ball over the pedestal, and use your ability on it-
-Ok hands placed and... wow, I cannot feel it clearly with my ability! It feels... weird-
-You don't need to; unleash your ability, like making it take the shape of an arrow or a lance or spear, something like that, and aim at the device-
Mike did it and used some little force
-How can it help me get the distaaAAN... WHAT THE FUCK??!!- screamed Mike while the device suddenly forced him to use all his might, but he couldn't take his hands out of the device, some kind of mechanical trap got his hands on it, he looked at it trying to break free, and some seconds later he felt his vision going dark just when the device stopped.
As his vision grew darker his body started falling before getting caught by someone, he could hear the assistant talking while holding him but could not understand what it said.
-5 meters, and resisted 10 seconds, indeed the result of a genius.-
He could not get at all at what it was talking about but could think of it when he is recovered, meanwhile, he had to get a deep sleep, exhausted from his ability.
