Chapter 86 COM DAY
The end of the first month finally came as Alan felt that he had been on a roller coaster.
With so many things to learn and many competent instructors always ready to provide advice, the environment was simply a haven for Alan.
Name: [Alan Ortex]
Stage: [6th stage] [0%]
Name: [Nova]
Stage: [6th stage] [12%]
Name: [Taranis]
Stage: [4th stage] [65%]
Name: [Everbloom]
Stage: [6th stage][55%]
After he finished meditating for the day, he was about to get ready to head out.
He observed the recent progress in his cultivation as he broke through to the 6th stage yesterday.
He was satisfied with his cultivation speed. The only thing that weighed on his mind was his partners cooped up in his sanctuary.
As he could not take them out and did not want to let others see them, as every single one of them was special in their own way.
Lately every night he had to listen to the young ones complaining about being stuffy and bored.
The only one who didn't complain and was completely comfortable inside the sanctuary was Everbloom.
The shameless flower was a homebody. And if given the choice, she did not want to go out at all, as she was basking in the bliss of the sanctuary completely safe, which for her was the ultimate goal, as she could continue cultivating in peace. Plus, all her resources were provided by Alan, which was simply a dream come true for the little flower.
After pacifying everyone, Alan got out of his room.
......
As he was walking through the corridor, he bumped into number 80.
No. 80: "You are early today; you do know it is a rest day, right?"
Alan: "Good morning, senior. Yes, I do, but why are you up so early if it was a rest day?
No. 80: "Hahaha, let me tell you something. Have you ever heard the saying 'no rest for the wicked?"
After he had joined the seeds in the training, he got to know them better, for example, number 80, who is always the butt of the joke, yet he was probably one of the most hardworking in their group, as he did his work silently without showing the extreme effort that he was putting in.
Alan: "Actually, I woke up early because it is the end of the month, my first month here."
No. 80: "Aha, so today is communication day."
Alan: "Yep, I checked, and it is Communication Day."
A silly smile formed on number 80's face as he asked.
No. 80: "So who are you calling, the family or maybe a girlfriend?"
Alan: "Yes, I'm going to call my family and my three girlfriends."
No. 80: "Three!!!"
Number 80 facial expressions changed from a teasing one that an older brother has when he is teasing his younger sibling to astonishment and reverence as he was watching a guru on display.
Alan: "Yes, three. So what are you going to call your girlfriends too?"
No. 80: "Girlfriends, ahem, yeah, I might call them later today."
Alan: "It is good to keep in touch; we only have this one chance a month."
No80: "Yeah, you're right. You're absolutely right, by the way. How old are your girlfriends, just out of curiosity?
Lana: "Please have a taste, Auntie, and tell me what you think."
Inside the Hunts mansion, Lana, who lately decided to learn how to cook, prepared breakfast as she went to visit Ariana, who was meditating in the garden.
Ariana: "Mhmmm, it's delicious. You are becoming better and better with every passing day."
A bright smile found itself on Lana's face.
Rosaline: "Who could believe that my daughter, who used to burn eggs, can actually cook now!!"
Lana: "MOM!!!"
Ariana, Rosaline: "hahahahahaha"
Suddenly, Ariana's terminal started ringing.
Rosaline: "Who would call you early in the morning?"
Ariana: "It ... it's Alan!!"
She immediately answered the call.
Alan: "Good morning, Mom. I hope you have missed me."
Ariana: "Good morning, son. So good to hear your voice. Why did you not call us earlier?"
Alan: "Sorry, Ma, military regulations; we only get one day a month to use communication with the outside world. How are you, and how is your stay with the Hunts?"
Rosaline: "Big sis is fine. How are you, boy?"
Alan: "Aunt Rosaline is with you."
Ariana: "Yes, we were meditating in the garden before breakfast, and guess who had made it? Lana recently became quite the chef."
Lana: "Go...Good morning, Alan. I hope you are well.
Alan: "Thank you, Lana. It's good to hear your voice."
With a blushing face, the teenage girl's thoughts were clear on display.
Ariana: "Are you eating well? You look like you lost a lot of weight. How was your training?"
Alan: "Intense but okay. Don't worry, Ma. The only thing that we can never finish in the base is the food and the resources.
How is Lily? I was afraid that the new environment would affect her.
Rosaline: "She spends the day with the ponies or running all around the mansion; with so much to do and much more to discover, she is having a blast."
Ariana: "She is indeed having a lot of fun, much more than when we were staying in Howler Town. The only thing that she keeps asking about is you and Nova."
Alan: "I presume she didn't wake up yet."
Lana: "I'll go get her."
Alan: "Thank you, Lana."
Rosaline: "You look much more manly now; I guess pressure makes men."
With a silly smile on her face, Rosaline propped up his situation.
Alan: "Indeed, pressure can make a man or break him; you are the wiser, Auntie."
Ariana: "You are not calling your aunt old, are you?"
Alan: "They say a son can't hide anything from his parents."
Rosaline blushed in embarrassment.
Rosaline: "You really have grown, haven't you, teasing your elders?"
Alan: "Hahahahahahahahahahahaha.".
