Chapter 89: The Next Phase In My Journey

The three of us followed the girls back to the same door I had come from the Clinic through. I was a bit confused, and I stopped the girls when we were about 2 meters away.

"Didn't we just come through here?" I asked Messia after we stopped.

"Yes, but the doors are linked to every other door in the Hive. Hilda has been helping to make some changes while you were out and injured," Messia explained to me.

*Poof!*

"I haven't had the chance to tell you about everything that I have done, but like you have seen, everyone has been Buzzy. The place is more accessible for you now, and we have been able to add three more Hex-Combs as well, but you will have to designate them when you have time," Hilda explained after she appeared.

"How are Pixie and Talli? I saw Talli briefly before the attack, but I didn't have a chance to talk to her because I was speaking with Xani and Gamble," I asked Messia as we continued forward.

"Talli is doing well, and she is helping the farmers with planting the seed and raising the Crystal Flowers. She had been doing some research before you got the seed, so she is now able to help teach the new farmers about their skills," Messia told me.

"That's really good to hear. That must mean that Talli's Bee-ologist Class has been paying off! I was wondering what she would be able to do with it, so I am glad that she found a use for it," I said as we walked through the honey portal.

When we walked through the other side, one of the Raccoon Folk walked to the center of the room I had just entered. I watched as he drew a long katana from his sheath and then put it back.

There was a dummy set up to use as a target about three meters in front of him. The moment the sword clicked all the way into his sword sheath, the dummy fell apart into pieces.

I could hardly believe my eyes; I had seen nothing other than him taking his sword out and putting it back. The man turned to walk back to the group, but I called out to him.

"Hey, come here; I wanted to talk to you about what you just did there," I said, waving the Raccoon man over to me as we entered the room.

"Yes, my Queen," The man said and jogged over to me. 

Leah was over with the rest of them, but she waited while I talked to the man. I wanted to know who she did that; if it was magic or some particular skill he had, there was no way it was just speed alone.

"What is your name?" I asked, and the man shook his head.

"No, that is for you to decide, my Queen," the man said and then bowed his head to me.

"Alright then, Steve, how did you cut that practice target? There is no way that you were able to cut that fast without some kind of special boost, so what is it?" I asked curiously.

"Steve… This is a good name, and I like it. I can use the wind to cut things at a distance, but I do not need to swing my blade to do that," Steve explained.

"Interesting. Now that I understand what you can do, I can give you a class. EVERYONE ELSE IN THE ROOM, COVER YOUR EYES!" I shouted out as I activated the Queen System.

[System] Activated!

[Hive Points Available] 212.

{Would you like to use a point} Yes/No?

Yes. The points were still going up! That must mean that there were people that were close to evolving! 

{Select a target}

Steve.

[Subject: Steve]: Class option:

{Wind Blade} Or {AssasiBee}

There was the AssasiBee Class again, but it didn't fit this time either, and Wind Blade just made sense. I made the selection, and they gave a quick look around to make sure that the girls were covering their eyes and then made the selection.

This time, Steve, unlike Rixie, had the yellow and black Home Team colors that I was growing so fond of. I really thought that after seeing the colors so often that I would start to get sick of them, but I was just starting to enjoy them more and more!

Steve was now wearing a robe, and his hair was done up into a bun, and the whole look made him similar to a Xianxia Cultivator. Steve looked himself over and smiled, but It wasn't a full smile.

"Is there something wrong?" I asked him.

"No, I guess that I would be doing much sneaking around with these colors, but I guess it's not such a bad thing. They are just changes that I will adapt to," Steve said with confidence and resolve.

I nodded to him, and Steve went back to the others, but as he did, Leah made her way over. I walked with the girls to meet her halfway, and she had a smile on her face as she walked over.

"The group looks outstanding, and the men have all been out doing training with the then Bumble Bikes that we had constructed while you were out. After you finish with the Class for these men, I would like to talk to you about a couple of people that have reached peaks," Leah explained to me.

"Peaks? Like that can't get any stronger?" I asked.

"Yes, they all have been getting a message that asks them if they are ready to proceed with the phase of their journey. I also have the same message, but when I try to activate it, I get a warning message saying that Genes are missing," Leah explained to me, and I understood what it meant and got excited.

"Ooo, that's really good! Okay, then let's go through these men, and then you can take me to see the people when they get back!" I told Leah with excitement.

Finally getting closer to the next start of the next phase in my journey!
