Hectors... Waking up later than I thought...
I thought he'd wake up after we finished messing around a little with Cassidy and reading Pinky magazine. But he hasn't even woken up yet
And you know what Fuyuki said when she remembered Hector was still asleep?
"Oh shit... I forgot to wake Spine-sama up today", she said with the flattest and most uncaring face
So, that person must be awakened so that he does not hibernate, is that it...?
Horrifically. I'm more afraid of his bedtime than he is now. Surprisingly, how his body can stay fit when sleeping during that time
We personally went to Hector's room together. And sure enough; he was still fast asleep. It was evident from his loud snoring
Fuyuki slowly tried to shake her body without making a sound for her to wake up. But he made me and Noah surprised as he roughly brushed Fuyuki's hand away
He also clucked, starting to sit himself down and recover his gaze first. Sometimes he yawns, but after that, his annoyance always comes out
"I'm awake, okay...?! Stop making earthquakes here, Jackson!"
...
...
His eyes immediately narrowed as he looked at me, Cassidy and Noah at the door, as Fuyuki tilted her head slightly at the foot of her bed
"... You didn't hear anything..." Hector calmly threatened
No. gabe. We heard all the things!
"Fuyuki's. Any coffee?"
...
Oh. He didn't bring coffee here huh...?
Don't look at us that way, we didn't know you needed coffee either
"... While we go to the cafeteria to pick up your coffee Spine-sama, always remember that we have to use the code name" Fuyuki tried to switch the topic
Hector heard that, again
"Well...! Be it Arcadia or LIONS, your service to important personnel still sucks!"
"And you better remember that we are also important personnel, Spine" I interrupted
Noah and Cassidy nodded in understanding with furrowed brows, unhappy with Hector's words
He also realized that there was no point in arguing at that time. Spontaneously she slid her legs to the side of the bed and began to stand up, so we could see clearly that she was wearing only a sweater and shorts behind the blanket
Fuyuki looks to be reaching into the contents of Hector's closet, until she finishes choosing clothes for the owner to wear. With a casual attitude, Hector accepts what Fuyuki chooses, throws the clothes handed over to his bed, then wears his pants
Sports pants are not very compatible with his white sweater. I can guarantee that if Pinky sees this, she won't be able to bear to wear that eccentric shirt on Hector's body
"moving soon. I want to see your progress today" he flicked his fingers and diverted us out
We all went without protest, heading to the training room. Noah suddenly looked excited as we were finally leaving
This one guy seemed to be hoping to see a fight there...
I thought so, until suddenly he realized I was staring and saying,
"If you can fight Corruption, I promise I won't litter the room for a week"
Uh-uh?
...
...
...
"Ah, so..."
L'm... Didn't expect that response at all. I thought Noah-I thought
...
People here are so weird. I can't read their nature at all
Hector could give up. Fuyuki who likes burgers and fast food. Also, Noah was very, very, friendly and friendly to me. Their view of the world was very strange, even stranger than those of Arcadia
...
Maybe occasionally reducing the bad prejudices I used to do could help...
This place feels more comfortable for me

{{{ LIONS training room }}}
I pull my words...! Hector makes everything so hard now...!
"Come on...! How long you want to be"
"Focused. You've been doing this for 15 minutes" Hector cut out my sentence
"New record. Last night, you could only do it for 8 minutes" Fuyuki added
Urgh...!
The buzzing sound that this Terror force creates makes my head feel like it wants to explode...!!
"How much can he be? 15 minutes?" Noah suddenly came out of nowhere while carrying the Cassidy he was carrying since we came to Hector's room
The words just piss me off...
"Shut up...! You think this is easy...?!"
...
...
...
"He held back the power of Terror for 1 hour and fell asleep because the Eternity within his body forced his consciousness to stop loh" Fuyuki said
"Everything's quiet. The next stage I'll start"
Hector, what-?
Stages... Next up...?
He suddenly turned off the power of the Terror that was oppressing me for these last dozen minutes. And as I tried to stabilize my head, I started to see hallucinations of Hector being 4 people at once in front of me
Huh uh? It's like yesterday...
Uh...
That one's not Hector. He didn't stand up while clawing his waist, definitely Noah. Then, who was upset because the fake was found out how?
That one must be Cassidy, because she's quiet not budging. That is, between the remaining two
"You're the one on the far left, right, Hector?" I replied, pointing to Hector who was in accordance with my words
My gaze began to recover, and my head did not feel trembling anymore. Fully able to see back, the answer is right in the eyes
"Wrong" Fuyuki suddenly commented, then lowered her head resignedly because I had guessed wrongly
Apparently... I was wrongly pointing...
The real Hector was the one who clucked just now. I thought it was just a trick from one of them so I wouldn't suspect him...
*Plak!*
...
Hector brushed my head off the top for some reason
"What's the punch for...?" I protested, even though I could not feel the pain of the attack at all
"Testing if my guess is correct"
Hmr...
He seemed to have realized that I was wearing something in this exercise. So, before he could do any further investigation, I stuck out my tongue and showed him that there was a module on it, so Hector gave a slow snort because his guess did not miss
"Tell the woman, if she'd better stop making new people her guinea pigs"
L'm... I don't know why I have to agree with Hector
This module is not very helpful in dispelling the mental attacks of Terror, although the physical blows as Hector did earlier have absolutely no effect on me
Besides, I'm still upset this thing stays stuck but can't escape
"What is this Hector? You added a new session to your training?" Noah complained
"only for him. He needs more of this extra training than you did 2 months ago" Hector answered the question
"How can you?"
"He doesn't even have muscles like you. This kid is just stuffed with soft meat"
Stop pointing at my waist...
"Keep that aside, you just called Spine without a code name" I interjected
Noah immediately gasped, then scratched the side of his head because he realized he had made a mistake
"I'm sure it's okay now. Control hasn't been in action lately"
Hmphc...
Still, it's a protocol. A good military personnel will not ignore protocol
"Huhahh... I'm still upset I haven't been able to control Corruption..."
Moreover, all the pillars here are acting very actively to exclude myself. I'm not even allowed to follow any missions, while Fuyuki, Noah and Hector have a rotating schedule to look after every personnel in this fleet
"You don't even want to tell me what you're doing until you can control Terror" I turned back to Hector with a sullen look
"Because I don't know how you should control Corruption. Terror and Eternity also have different concepts when they need to be controlled"
Did ya?
I looked at Noah, and he just nodded as if he understood what Hector was saying
They all have different concepts to deal with huh...?
...
"I'll think about this. So long as we continue this exercise" I said
Hector immediately sighed, realizing that I was just forcing myself. "You better find a solution to that problem first, right?" she said. "It's better that way than having to go through training with no clear results"
"You say that just because you're lazy..." Noah interrupted
"No, you know..."
I just smiled to see the little squabble between the two people
I also changed my sitting position. I pat my thigh as if calling someone. And when Hector turned his head, I said, "Let's continue! I'm not satisfied!"
And that's where Hector snorted. The grunts made Fuyuki and Noah faintly laugh at him, as they moved on to give us space
Hector held both sides of my head again, and he began to rekindle the power of the Terror
"You're really acting like that guy..."
...
"I am his son, though not the real one"
Hector doesn't deny that. So, he just started training back
