Chapter 62: A New Weapon, Again?

I saw the excitement on Hoger's face even though I saw it from the 1st floor and he was just entering the shop on the ground floor. I made my decision, but have to get approval from Kathy since she will also join me in whatever decision I take.

"So, what's your training plan, Allen?"I heard a sweet voice as my room door opened. I didn't have to look back to find the owner of the voice. It is Kathy.

"I am yet to decide Kathy. Have you decided?" I asked her just to know her thoughts.

"Yes. It is to comply with whatever you decide, my brother," she said without any hesitation.

I was surprised to hear it. This is the first time she called me brother. I know she thought of me as her brother just like Kamran and how Joe and Aisha thought of me as their son.

"Why do you want to do that? Are you not going to choose your future?" I asked her so she can think about the decision again.

"I'd prefer to go to the training program of Mr. Hoger, but Dad will not allow me to go alone," Kathy said with a sad face.

"Good thing, I also decided to go along with Hoger's training," I said with a smile on my face which made Kathy smile with happiness.

All we had to do is go downstairs and inform Hoger and Joe of our unanimous decision to go to his training. We don't know much about his training, but all we know is it will help us to grow stronger faster than others.

When we came downstairs, we also saw Kamran waiting for us. He might have come last night after I slept as I didn't see him yesterday even during our dinner time.

Joe was sweating like hell to know our decision. As a father, he knows how his daughter will think and decide. He looked at us and smiled a little just as a gesture so we will not be presented with his thoughts.

"Without further ado, please do let us know what your decision is so we can prepare for your training accordingly," Kamran said looking at me and his sister. I know he would side against his father as Hoger's training program made him stronger than the other specialist stage people by a huge margin.

I didn't want to go against Joe's will at first as he has helped me a lot in the last year during my worst crisis. But I also wanted to be strong enough to prevent anything like that from happening again in my life.

I also know Kamran is here to support Hoger as he also gained a lot from the training that Hoger gave to him. There is a possibility that he might know what the training program is, but he didn't say it to us as it will not help Joe's wish.

Joe for some reason is not willing for us to take part in the training program of Hoger. But he is not telling us the reason saying that it is confidential. The only thing he keeps saying is that we will not be able to come back home for a few months.

I didn't want to upset him, but I still want to attend Hoger's training program to become strong again. I steeled my heart and informed the group of my decision. Kathy followed my lead and did the same.

Joe was a bit worried after he came to know of our decision. "Don't worry father. I'll be accompanying our little sister and brother during their training program. You don't have to worry a bit" Kamran said to Joe and everyone could see him relaxing after these words went to his brain.

"Gather your equipment, armor, and the necessary things you would need to spend your next 2 months in a new world kids," Hoger said to us before he took a contract and gave it to Joe so he can go through it.

I could see Joe was getting happy with every minute he is reading the contract. This contract is for him to permit Kathy as a father and me as a guardian to attend the training. We will also be signing a contract, but not before Joe signs his contract to permit us to attend the training.

After a few minutes, we started to gather the stuff required for our training. It took me less than 10 minutes since I have already packed my things the previous night. I just had to wear my armor and store my weapons in my storage ring.

I went down and had to wait for an hour for Kathy to join us. She said that she couldn't find a few of the things that are required for the training.

We left after saying our byes to Joe and Aisha and the house which we will not be seeing for the next few months. Along with Hoger and Kamran, we reached the Warrior Guild in a few minutes.

We didn't have to show our freelancer badges as we were with Hoger. Kamran has become a well-known person after the success of the mission with me. Everyone greeted us with a smile.

"Oh, Allen. Father told me to give these to you. He wanted you to have this and train with it during your training" Kamran said to me while we were inside the lift going to a basement I didn't know it existed until today.

I looked at it and was a bit confused as it is the same type of crossbow Kathy has. I already found out a few days back that if we want, we would not need to carry bolts and create our own using the power stones attached to it even when we are in a low-level private stage. I even insisted Kathy use this feature of her crossbow since it will save time for reloading.

"Joe wants you to be with Kathy always, even during the training kid. He knows you would do anything to keep your sister safe" Hoger said to me with a smile. What he said was true. And now, I have to learn how to aim and use a new weapon from scratch.
