Aisha didn’t immediately prepare their food. Eating before training would only hurt their stomachs, and once they were full, their bodies would grow sluggish.
Thus, she kept the pot of stewed meat closed for now and headed for the living room.
Once she arrived, Vesper was being roasted by the two on each of his sides. They only stopped when they saw Aisha closing in.
At last, Vesper’s eyes shone with a look of seeking rescue from her.
Aisha looked at them one by one before gesturing for them to follow her. "Enough with that; let’s go train now."
Kane nodded along with Sabel.
Vesper sighed deeply in relief. If Aisha hadn’t arrived on time, he feared his hair would be torn from his scalp because of these two!
Following the directions to the training room Zeke had told her about, Aisha couldn’t help but feel curious. She hadn’t set foot there since her arrival, having spent most of her time moving back and forth between this place and the Novalis family villa. Besides, she hadn’t stayed here for long.
The only practice she could do was while cleansing the miasma from the meat she procured from the black market.
Still, she knew that would be far from enough.
When the door slid open, a small, dome-like field appeared before them. The walls were lined with steel, and there were cabinets filled with training suits as well as weapons of various sizes. What she couldn’t really fathom was just how spotless the training room was.
Has anyone ever used this place?
Everything looked new and untouched. The floor gleamed under the glowing stones on the walls, with sunlight spilling inside through the windows in each wall, bathing the room with natural light.
"Well, isn’t this just perfect?" Vesper was in awe and looked around. "Is that a training pod over there?"
A single training simulation capsule sat in the corner. It was a piece of equipment most militaries possessed, capable of immersing anyone who lay inside it to simulate a battle against a corrupted monster. It could even pull a person’s consciousness into a contaminated, zone-like space where they could fight as if they were truly inside it!
Seeing such an advance virtual capsule inside the training room, everyone of them couldn’t help but surround it.
Kane rubbed his chin as he looked at it. "This was just released last year... how can this be here?"
Sabel nodded at his words and said, "My father once looked it up for my brothers, hoping he could snatch at least one from the Association. Do you know how much it was at that time?"
Aisha, Vesper, and Kane looked at her with equally curious gazes.
"Fifteen million star credits!" Sabel’s voice trembled slightly at the end as she revealed the price of a single capsule. Her eyes zealously looked at it, and she took out her own terminal to look through the online site of the Association. When she found the capsule on one of their products for sale, she enlarged the screen for them to see. "Look at this, the price has already jumped up to thirty-two million star credits! That’s twice the original amount, and a thousand people have already bought!"
"Th—thirty-two million?" Aisha almost stepped away from the capsule.
That was two million more than what she received from that rotten prince! Wait... now thinking about it, she hasn’t received the rest of her money!
Feeling her rage rising to her head, Aisha had to take three deep breaths before she could calm down. Of course, that didn’t mean she would let Prince Soren get away with not giving her the rest of her money.
But to think that this thing, lying there without ever being used, cost thirty million star credits?
"Let’s try it!" Vesper suggested the idea, already trying to open the capsule.
Kane held him back and shook his head before glancing at Aisha. "Can we?"
Aisha thought about it for a second. Though she was just as interested and wanted to try it as her classmates, she still shook her head to say no.
