Chapter 10: Sweet woman
''I know it would happen''
''What do you mean?'' Lux asked in confusing
Reven answering him '' as you have regen-''
Reven looked to side she sew many people have gathered there. ''I think as you are soo weak physically that the machine couldn't get a weapon for you ''
A black, rectangular drone with small metallic wings floated down in front of them. Red circuit patterns pulsed across its shell as it projected a holographic touchscreen. Dozens of floor names and numbers glowed in the air.
Reven flicked her finger through the menu with practiced ease and selected a floor.
Lux's jaw dropped. "Whoa… that thing is awesome…"
The lift chimed. The doors slid open. Reven yanked Lux inside by his collar.
Ad they enter the lift the door closes "I lied" reven said while looks at hand, "what do you mean?'' Lux asked in confusion
''when I said you are weak that's why the machine couldn't get a weapon for you I lied the reason is you have regeneration powers and regeneration powers was extremely rare it was extinct ages ago and it's not coded in the machine, that's why it couldn't get a weapon for you''
''So why did you lie was you trying to hide it?'' Lux asked while looking at the glass in the lift
'' I have the same question for you why were you trying to hide your regeneration ?''
Lux things to himself for a minute and says '' I Don't know I have told some people and they told me to not tell it to everyone and every time I have told someone I get a sense of fear down my body .''
'' Interesting '' Reven while taping her left hand's palm with her right hand's index finger two times, the door of the lift opens, anyways, they both walked outside.
There was a big hall way with dones floating around everywhere the eyes lands many people were walking though the hall way everyone looked busy in there own work some scrolling there phones and some busy sliding through there holographic documents.
Lux looking at the building from the inside asked so 'if I don't get a weapon do I have to create my own?'
Reven answering him 'there is no need for that you just follow me'
They both came on front of a door reven throws a black hexagonal shape thin chip on lux and on contact it transform into a blue and black tight cloth that covers lux automatically.
Lux starring on the cloth '' what is this for? '' Lux asked.
''You first need training so you will be trained in here for 2 months if you perform well you can be sumerrer.
''So will you train me?'' Lux asked
Reven while smiling ''no l'll not train you, there will some other newbies like you behind this room so go there and I sweet women will come and train you''
She opened the door with a wave of her hand. "I've got work to do. Have fun."
She vanished down the corridor before Lux could reply.

Lux stepped inside.
A group of men and women, all wearing the same sleek training suits, were scattered around the room. Some leaned on weapon racks, others sat cross-legged on the floor. Holographic weapons lined the walls: swords, rifles, whips, gauntlets.
Lux approached a man fiddling with a whip.
"Hey… who are you guys waiting for?"
The man shrugged. "No idea. They told us someone would come to train us in combat."
Lux looked around at the rows of weapons. "Ah… that's why there are so many weapons in here."
The man nodded. "Yeah. By the way… you think this 'someone' is a man or a woman?"
Lux remembered Reven's words. "I was told… a sweet woman would come to train us."
The man's eyes widened, a huge grin spreading across his face. He stepped closer and pulled out his phone, showing Lux a picture of a beautiful woman teaching boxing.
"You think she'll look like this?"
Lux rubbed the back of his neck, uncomfortable. "I… don't know."
The man's grin widened. He turned to the group and shouted, "Guys! Did you hear that? A sweet woman is coming to train us!"
The group erupted with cheers and chatter:
"Do you know her?"
"Can we get her comm-chip?"
"Bro, I'd let her punch me anytime!"
"Bet she's gorgeous!"
''Can I ear her pancreas?''
Lux took a step back, unsure if he should laugh or run.

The door hissed open.
A figure stepped through the shadows.
Every head in the room turned. Smiles lit up their faces. One man even dropped to one knee, holding out a ring as if proposing on the spot.
The figure stepped into the light.
It wasn't a sweet woman.
It was a seven-foot-eight giant of a woman, muscles rippling beneath her sleeveless training vest. Her arms looked like they could snap metal pipes in half. Her face was sharp, her gaze piercing.
The men froze. Smiles died. One of them whispered, "Is… is that even human?"
The giantess glanced at the man kneeling with the ring. She smirked.
"I know I'm sweet. But you don't have to propose. I'm beautiful, right?"
The guy that was proposing say dinosaur. The women punches the man that hard that he slam into the wall and passes out.
Lux opened his mouth. He wanted to say you're an angel—but his nerves betrayed him.
"…Satan's wife," he blurted out.
The room went silent.
Her shadow fell over him. Her huge hand shot down, grabbed him by the ankle, and before he could react—
SMASH!
She swung him like a hammer, knocking over two terrified recruits.

Hours later, Reven strolled back down the corridor, hands in her pockets.
"It's been four hours since I left him. I should check on him. He's probably mad I lied to him…" She shrugged. "Ah, whatever. He'll be fine."
She opened the door with a bright smile—and froze.
Inside, Lux was being swung like a ragdoll by the towering instructor, smashing into another screaming recruit.
"HELLLLPPP!" Lux yelled as he blurred past her vision, upside down.
Reven calmly closed the door. She turned and walked away, hands still in her pockets.
"…Yeah," she said with a faint smirk. "He's having a good time."
