Chapter 71 - System Related Instructor

They all returned to their respective rooms after the show ended. That was before Diana who couldn't control herself anymore and walked up to Nathan and requested an audience with him. She didn't like the sense of fear she always develop when it comes to him and couldn't shake off his earlier words from her mind like she usually does in most cases; which is what kept her living on despite her hardship.

She succeeded in shaking it off in the morning, but looking at him from a far or probably because he's near where she stood; her mind kept drifting to it. She kept staring at the explosions while her attention was with him.

Seeing her approaching him, Nathan scoffed, he couldn't help but admire her courage, if any of the trainees try this with him; they would wish they hadn't.

"Can we talk?" Diana asked.

Aroma sighed inwardly, but worried less because it's obvious Nathan treated Diana differently. She's just glad she came at the time where there weren't much disobedience trainees that got Nathan mad and lose their life instantly. All trainees got warned before they joined and was expected to follow protocol, if any of them started seeking stuff they shouldn't or trying to poke nose in classified things in the base; he/she will be considered a spy and get killed immediately.

But he has been very gentle with Diana. Since the start to be exact. The fact that he kissed her was nothing because he always does the unexpected and find it fun, but after finding out who Diana really was; he has been treating her nicely, not the fun type as per usual, but real kindness which is unlike him.

Nathan smirk at her, "I don't want to." he replied.

Diana felt pissed at his refusal and wondered why he couldn't be serious for once, everything seems like a joke to him and she's finding him more annoying.

"I have something to talk to you about." she said.

"I neither have something to talk to you about nor something I want to hear from you." He replied.

"You!" Diana glared at him.

"You can leave now." He commanded.

....

Everyone was back to sleep, but Diana couldn't. She couldn't believe Nathan really sent her away without even listening to her. She felt enraged and wished she could punch him in the face at that moment but ended up walking away as his expression turned serious after he said she should leave. That sense of fear came again and she finds herself swallow hard on her saliva and slowly walked away as requested.

She tried to sleep but find herself gnashing her teeth and perspiring all over. 'How rude.' she thought. She's used to not taking stuff like this from anyone, used to talking back at anyone that crosses her, she's strong and she knew that, but this man is messing with her and she couldn't be her usual self, always minding her words not to anger him and all.

She tried to force herself to sleep as Aroma has informed her that she will be leaving the base with Nathan before the day breaks entirely, which means; she will be in the care of an instructor for her training till she returns and they wouldn't listen to reasoning, also; she had to practice her dagger throwing after she's done with the instructor's.

She sighed deeply and tried to block off Nathan from her thoughts. She didn't know when she drifted to sleep, and fortunately for her; the instructor that came this time around is in charge of hacking and all system related. Diana knew she wouldn't be able to move away even if a train is coming for her right now, she will be too lazy to move and just await her death.

The lady didn't say much. She woke them up to make them realize she's the one and know the exact place to come to before moving to another room. The others weren't in a hurry to get out of bed as well,  instead; they kept cracking their knuckles and twisting their neck in a weird movement that made her cringe at the imagination of how scary it would be to attempt such, as it seems they want to pull it out from their body.

Diana soon find herself inside a computer room, and kind of understand her roommate earlier acts. She wished she had done something like that too, because it's really hard to keep her focus. She had been typing on the keyboard, got coding mission after being put through the process once and was expected to finish it. She kind of find this attitude of Aroma and the instructors not likable as they always seem to not want a day to go to waste without them gaining anything.

They made sure they gain at least one knowledge or the other, either forcefully or they got it easily before being pushed. She's not bad with computers but this stage they brought her to is not so easy unlike the ones she's used to.

But this time, the instructor isn't harsh. She seems to look like someone who possess all the time in the world, as she will walk up to her after going round and inspected the others and put her through a few things. She will make her start from scratch if she's doing it the wrong way and pat her shoulder to encourage her to put in more effort.

But that didn't last long as most trainees that has been learning for a while and good at it got the assigned mission done and was given something else to do, it's like playing a game where you advance from easy to medium, hard and the nightmarish stage.

Only certain people are advancing to the next stage, while those that hasn't been in the organization much were released after they managed to complete the requested, which is a good news for Diana but she couldn't pull through the easy one assigned to her, she kept starting again from scratch and right now she's finding the instructor patting irritating, making her start all over without batting an eyelash and giving her the annoying pat like she's nice or something.

Few hours later, it's time for breakfast, those that were through were released while the rest of them including Diana got biscuit and beverages delivered to each of them.

The instructor paid for it with her money, in turn they must not leave until they are done with what she asked of them.
