Chapter 617: Over My Dead Sexy Body

Chapter 617: Over My Dead Sexy Body



When Thirteen arrived at the barracks, he was welcomed with the sight of all soldiers lined up to welcome him.

Erica, who was seated beside him, looked at this grand welcome with a faint smile on her face.

Although she knew that the soldiers were there to welcome Zion, and not her, she still felt proud because the teenage boy's achievements were also her achievements.

At least, that was what she believed.

When Thirteen disembarked from the Humvee, he gave everyone a salute.

"At ease," Thirteen ordered before heading straight towards the barracks without looking back.

Truth be told, he was still very exhausted from the Final Trial and simply wished to rest for a day or two to fully recover.

However, he knew that he had responsibilities, so he decided to endure until he was done talking to the Field Marshal, and the Grand Marshal.

"We're finally alone," Erica plopped on the chair inside Thirteen's office. "I just want to go home, take a nice bath, then sleep."

"I feel the same," Thirteen replied. "It has been a very long and arduous journey."

"We spent a little over half a year in that trial," Erica commented. "But I have a feeling that it could have lasted longer if you weren't there. In fact, clearing that kind of Trial in less than a year is already a great achievement on its own.

"Thank you, Zion. I am very lucky to be on the same mission as you. If you weren't there, we might have already failed in the Second Trial. There is no possible way we can defeat that Majin King on our own."

"Then can I sue you for sexual harassment?" Thirteen inquired. "You took advantage of me many times during that mission."

"Excuse me?" Erica arched an eyebrow. "Shouldn't it be me who should sue you for sexual harassment? Do you know that almost every night you bury your head on my... nevermind."

The Sorceress knew that Thirteen was different from the other teenagers, so she didn't mind having some skinship with him.

In fact, there were even times when she lost her faith in her feminine charms because the teenage boy was like a rock and didn't show any emotions, or reactions during the time that they were together.

Sherry, who was also together with her, also noticed Thirteen's lack of interest in the opposite

sex.

They didn't know if he was just too young or just had strong willpower.

If two girls slept and hugged you almost every night, there should have been some kind of reaction, right?

But there was none.

Thirteen treated them as if they were his sisters.

At times, she even felt like he was treating them like children, which had made her try to tease him using sexy nightdresses she wouldn't dare to wear in front of Roland or the other members of the Hero Party.

Unfortunately, Thirteen would just comment things like "That looks good on you" or "I think I prefer the black one over the white one."

There are times when he would also say things like "I think red is also good because it matches your hair."

But before she could voice out her complaint, Thirteen smiled in her direction, making her shudder uncontrollably.

'I'm doomed! I'm dead!' Erica wept internally because she was certain that Zion would drastically increase the difficulty of their training routine.

Although she was really thankful for him because she had improved a lot in a short period of time, she was still hesitant to undergo another round of rigorous training under his

supervision.

"I heard that you've trained the Hero Party for a month in the Leventis Residence," Tristan commented. "My daughters, Rianna and Shana always complai-errr, praise you for your training regimen. They were moved to tears because of how good it was."

Thirteen nodded. "It is also because of their training that we are able to learn our mission

faster this time around. The Hero Party bulldozed their way through the trials and paved the

path for our early return.

"This is why I humbly request that you allow them to train with me for a year. I promise that

they will become more powerful during that time."

Lawrence and Tristan glanced at Erica to see her reaction.

Knowing that her life was on the line, the Sorceress shook her head in order to let her superiors know that she didn't plan on being trained by Zion again.

Lawrence and Tristan exchanged a look with each other before smiling at the same time.

"We can't possibly force the Hero Party to do a training that they might not like," Lawrence said, which made Erica give him a thumbs up.

'Hmph! Do you think I'll allow you to train me again?' Erica laughed internally. 'Over my dead

sexy body!' However, Tristan's comment made her have second thoughts.

"But if they ever decide to join the training, we will increase their salary and the resources allocated to them fivefold," Tristan declared. "Not only that, they will receive other benefits, as well as discounts to certain military equipment."

The gears on Erica's mind started to move at a rapid pace.

She was calculating the pros and cons of joining Thirteen's training, and in the end, the pros

won over the cons.

"Ah, one more thing, please help me find Sherry Weaver," Thirteen stated. "Currently, she is in the Cygni Continent. I want her to join the training as well." Thirteen also mentioned a few more people that he wished to personally train, including

Cristopher, Colbert, Alexis, Paul, Pietro, and Piper, who were the Squad Captains of his

Battalion.

He wished to raise their fighting prowess in this period of time so that they would be ready for

the upcoming Jinn Invasion.
