*It was now 11:36 and time for the Traveler to get up.*
Athena: *opens room door* "Rise and shine! Its time to prepare for your meeting."
Traveler: "Just 5 more minutes..."
Athena: *carries him* "Dont think i dont have the power to do so. So would Mika if she were instead of me."
Traveler: "A-alright... I'll get up..."
*Athena lets The Traveler down.*
Athena: "Good boy now change and come to eat i already prepared your coffee and food. Alright?"
Traveler: "Yes Athena... Uhhh."
**After 15 minutes**
Traveler: "Alright im back..."
Athena: "Sit down and eat. Ill go and change in the meantime. Mika can't wait too much."
**Ken also wakes up after a long night of ping-pong with the boys.**
*Athena nudges him a bit hard.*
Athena: "Look who decided to wake up at almost 12! Get up and eat! I wanted to come and wake you up."
Ken: "Yeah yeah... Dont worry about it..."
*Athena went to change in a more stylish outfit.*
**Meanwhile in the kitchen.**
Ken: "Oh morning Traveler."
Traveler: *waves*
**After 20 minutes.**
Traveler: "And i- *laughs* ah the old days...
Ken: "You know damn well! *Laughs as well.* You're a good person to be around. I appreciate your sense of humor."
Traveler: "Thanks Ken, i appreciate it."
*Athena comes back*
Athena: "Hey hey! Did you like the food?"
Traveler: "Sure did! Shall we get going? I am already ready."
Athena: "Um yes lets not keep Mika waiting!"
**After 35 minutes in the city streets.**
Mika: "Yall arrived after all.."
Athena: "What do you mean after all?"
Mika: "What do you mean! I have been waiting yall for 2 hours! Its 12:45!"
Athena: "Oh dear lets get going then! We need to be there fast."
*They start running and eventually reach the Military base.*
Guard: "Here for a meeting i suppose?"
Mika: "Yes how did you know?"
Guard: "Well the General told me to wait you three here. He is in his office. Hurry."
Athena: "Great! Thank you!"
*They hurry inside*
Neon: "You have made it on time. I am proud. Lets start with the training. Follow me."
*Outside*
Neon: "Lets start with some basic combat try to hit me."
*Traveler gets into position and without hesitation rushes towards the general. He doesnt manage to hit the general at all because of the way he parries others's hits but after a while he manages to land a single hit dealing decent damage.*
Neon: "I can see you are a good fighter indeed. Who is training you again?"
Athena: "Me and Mika sir."
Neon: "Oh really? My best fighters train the Traveler? Im impressed."
*After 35 more minutes of combat*
Neon: I can see that you are pretty good at fighting. Now lets try a sprinting training. I want you to run on that track over there until the end. As fast as possible. Understand?"
Traveler: "Yes general. I'll be getting in place."
*As it started The Traveler ran at a very fast speed reaching the end in no time.*
Neon: "Impressive speed you got there. Alright you have convinced me. You're starting tomorrow!"
