Mio had snapped out of something that was almost a trance, this was because she was venturing into knowledge she wasn't supposed to read "Wha...!", she looked to her left and saw Regina calling her on the phone. Mio sighed in relief "WHOOHW! It's just Regina.", she picked up the phone "Hey, Regina.", Mio greeted. Regina responded at the other line of the phone "Hey, Mio. How's your day going?", she asked, Mio smiled mildly "My day's fine. Is there any problem? Why did you call?", she asked. Regina explained "Well, I wanted us to meet. Me, you, Lydia and the rest of the girls.". Mio took a moment to think "Hm, that doesn't sound like a bad idea. We haven't seen each other in a month, most of us were probably too busy with our own things.", Regina just smiled "Yeah, I know. We'll be meeting at the park. An hour from now. I'll tell Gwen and the rest to come." Mio smiled "Sounds good. Later.", Regina responded with a smile "Yeah, I'll see you later.". Both girls hung up the call, Mio took another sigh "Whaaah! My heart almost jumped out of my chest for a moment.", she looked at the book she was reading "I think i should drop this book for now.", she said to herself and closed the book. About an hour later, the girls where already meeting up at the park. Regina was there already, Mio was already on her way there too, she spotted Regina as she walked to the park "Hey, Regina.", Mio called out. Regina looked to her left and saw her "Mio.", she waved back at her friend, they both got into range of each other "Wow, you look brighter.", Regina said to Mio, Mio replied "Thanks, you don't look bad yourself.". Suddenly, both girls heard Gwen's voice approaching "Hey, you two.", Mio and Regina looked to their right and saw Gwen and Marallda approaching them. Regina smirked while Mio smiled "Gwen, Marallda.", she called out "Looks like you beat us here.", Gwen said. Marallda waved to Mio and Gwen with a smile, Mio and Regina smiled back "Hey Marallda. Has your speech gotten any better?", Regina asked. Marallda tried talking "Ye!ah, it's gettinn@g better n0w.", she couldn't fully talk properly, Mio added "Well, you have gotten most of your speech back, that's good.". Regina thought to herself "She's lucky she still had her memories rather than her speech.", Gwen looked at her "What was that you thought of?", Regina waved with a nervous smile "Nothing! Nothing...!". Yuki's voice echoed "Huh? Bantering after we just met? You all don't seem to change much. Do you?", Yuki had entered the park, Gwen turned around "Well if it isn't Ms monster girl herself.", Mio looked confused "Monster girl? Since when did we call Yuki that?", Yuki got annoyed "HEY! WHY WAS THAT THE FIRST THING YOU THOUGHT OF WHEN YOU SAW ME?!", she said to Gwen, Mio smiled nervously "Now she's yelling.". Regina seemed to have a straight face while looking at Yuki "You seemed to have gotten more mature, did something happen?", Yuki replied "Nothing really. I've just been doing a lot of stuff nowadays.". Marallda thought to herself "She's definitely been up to something.", Yuki looked at Marallda "Hey, Marallda. I see you're doing well.", Marallda turned to her "Thanks... I1am doing8 w3ll.". Yuki realised and said with a straight face "Wow, your speech pattern is still horrible.", Marallda yelled at her "SHUT THE H3L1 UP!", Regina looked at her "Marallda, you're only proving her point.". Rem, Lydia and Racheal walked in as well "Hey....", Lydia called out to her friends. Mio, Yuki and Regina raised a brow on seeing them "Oh...you three came as well.", Regina said on seeing them. Racheal explained "Lydia told me about the whole meet up while I was shopping, so I rushed as fast as I could to get here.", Yuki looked suspicious "You seem oddly calm for a person who rushed her way here.". Rem tilted her head and looked to Regina "Huh? Regina...?", Regina blinked at her "Rem...? How have you been? I haven't even seen you since we got out of the hospital last month.". Rem just smiled nervously "Oh, nothing. I've just been by myself for a while now.", Yuki looked at her "By yourself huh? Nah, she's been worried about Kito and Baroka's well being all this time.", Rem turned her head to the side "TCH!", she clicked her tounge. Meanwhile, at White's place, the boys were still sitted by themselves while talking. White looked to his side "Hey, where's Lydia?", he asked, Kito replied "She probably went inside the house.", White sighed "Eeeh. If she wants to do something like that, she should have told us.", he said to himself. White then asked "So, have you guys heard the news?", Kazuma, Kito and Baroka blinked "What news?", they asked. White explained "The news about the training camp.", the three boys looked confused "Training.... what....?", Kazuma, Kito and Baroka said in confused unison. White sighed "Ahh, what would you all do without me....", he continued to explain "Apparently, Lord Fugaku wants to create a training camp for young soldiers like us. It's supposed to be a three months thing, but some people want it to be a monthly thing rather than a whole three months.". Kito took his time to think before replying "One month sounds better, think of it. If it were three months, they'd have to constantly supply food for the kids under the camp. That itself is a tasking, but not a problem. The second thing that would have to be taken into account for would be the amount of training materials needed. The number of training materials might not be enough, depending on the amount of kids our age that would be entering the camp.". White then added "Worst of all, we'd have to engage with new faces and different types of people with different types of characters. In shorts, it's like the assassination exams all over again.", Kazuma muttered with disinterest "I know right....? So many unexpected things. I'm almost certain they'd give us exercises and send us on all sorts of missions too. What a pain.". Kito looked at Kazuma "Whatever, I just hope things don't get complicated.", he looked at Baroka "Baroka, Reggie sensei wants you and Rem to meet him. I suggest you meet him in the next hour.", Baroka got up "Yeah, i almost forgot about that.", he waved to the rest of his friends "See ya.", White and Kito waved at him "Take care.", they both said. Kazuma looked up in the air "A training camp huh? Sounds like a new arc you'd see in a manga. I can't say I hate it or like it, but I guess it's not a bad idea.".
