Saiyan stowaways on the Ark

"That's great! There's been a backlog of documents regarding the regulations for infected individuals lately. Could you help me with that?"

She spoke to Markowitz in a completely disrespectful manner.

"Doctor! Don't just dump your work on others!"

Amiya tugged at the Doctor's sleeve, somewhat angrily.

"There's no way around it. Lately, many clerical staff have switched to becoming full-time combat-oriented operators, but the workload is just piling up..."

The doctor complained as he walked toward the nearby equipment room.

"Forget about that. I came here to punch a few times to relax, so let's not talk about work and ruin the mood."

—This is the PhD who used to have a poor diet and was very reluctant to exercise.

However, it seems that everyone is gradually accepting this change, and Rhodes Island is indeed, as the Doctor said, having more and more people choosing to join the current trend because of certain enviable practical effects.

Even if it's not for those rigorous special training programs or to gain immense strength under fundamentally unreasonable training methods, most people are starting to think that exercise is a good option.

The operator Cast Iron and the instructors were very pleased with this.

The benefit is that everyone's physical fitness has improved, and the infected operators have also benefited from the medication due to proper exercise, and their condition is developing in a very optimistic direction.

The downside is that many people have become less fond of doing clerical work.

As for the aspect I won't comment on, the rate of finding a partner is also starting to rise, whether it's the same sex or the opposite sex—appropriate training attracts the opposite sex, while excessive training attracts the same sex.

The doctor pushed a sandbag on the ground, causing it to roll near the sling, and then easily lifted it up.

Although that's what it's called, to the average person, it's already a giant column comparable to the load-bearing pillar of a building.

The weight markings, almost unbelievable to the naked eye, were prominently painted on the surface. After securing this iron-hard "sandbag," the doctor greeted a few passing operators.

"Could you please hold the sandbag from behind? I'd like to do a set of punches to relax, it'll be quick."

"Ah...no problem."

The responding operators clearly sounded somewhat hesitant.

But there was nothing I could do; it was the doctor's request after all.

Meanwhile, Rhodes Island welcomed distinguished guests—representatives from the Supervisory Council who had arrived even earlier than the representatives of the Business Federation.

An elegantly and dignified middle-aged Kuranta woman arrived at Rhodes Island.

Even though his youth has faded, the transcendent aura he exudes still attracts the attention of many.

She is Ioleta Russell, the leader of the Supervisory Council, a former high-ranking war knight, and now the Grandmaster of the Silver Spear Pegasus Knights.

Behind Ioleta, a Zalak woman with bald hair followed closely behind her.

"I never expected you to come in person. Logically, Rhodes Island should be following your lead and going to the city to meet with the members of the Supervisory Council..."

"No, it was our abruptness that we arrived without prior notice... Hmm, it seems your company's 'Doctor' is not in the office?"

The person in charge of contacting Ioleta was Tequila, who was used to doing similar things. But after arriving at the empty office, Tequila raised his head, closed his eyes slightly, and after a while said:

"The doctor is currently training on the platform. Would you two like to wait here?"

What did he just do?

How did they know someone's location without making any contact?

Based on their understanding of Rhodes Island, neither the Business Federation nor the Supervisory Council could consider Rhodes Island to be a "friendly" organization.

They are undoubtedly a dangerous organization with extremely high technological capabilities and military strength.

Ioleta's solo journey here can certainly be described as venturing into the lion's den, but it cannot be called reckless courage.

Pegasus, the divine inhabitants of Kazimierz, possess unparalleled strength, flowing with ancient blood.

Even though she is old, Ioleta is still strong enough to serve as the Grandmaster of the Silver Spear Pegasus Knights—in Kazimierz, no one can make her draw her sword.

However, bringing only one person to Rhodes Island is not only a sign of confidence in one's own strength, but also a kind of "sincerity" or trust.

Those who are willing to offend the business federation for the sake of those infected would never take any adverse actions against themselves without cause.

Besides, having witnessed "something" in the ruins of that castle in the wilderness, Ioleta felt that there was little point in bringing troops here.

"How about it, Senomi?"

As Tequila led her to the training platform, Ioleta asked the Zalak woman behind her:

"The atmosphere is very good. You can see that whether it's ordinary people, infected people, or people dressed as patients passing by, they are all in a very relaxed mood. Maybe it's because this place gives them a strong sense of security and belonging."

The woman, known as Senomi, said this in a relaxed tone, demonstrating her complete control over the situation.

But the next moment she suddenly changed her tone of voice:

"but..."

"I always feel like a lot of people are watching us."

"If it's not a misperception, then his concealment skills must be far superior to those of the Stealth Masters of the Unarmored Alliance."

She always felt that someone was watching them.

It was an indescribable feeling of unfreedom.

But when she looked warily in the direction from which the feeling came, she could see nothing.

The surrounding area is just a simple building divided and blocked by various roads and walls.

There was no one in sight, not even a camera.

You can't have someone watching you from behind a wall, can you?

"Your intuition is quite good. If it weren't for your obvious appearance that you are a distinguished guest, someone would probably have already approached you with great interest, wouldn't they?"

Tequila's words were directed at Ioleta.

"Young man, what do you mean...?"

Tequila chuckled, seemingly trying to move on from the matter.

"Haha, please don't mind, we just have a lot of people here who can't suppress their desire to challenge the strong."

According to him, many people on Rhodes Island already knew of Ioleta's existence and even understood the extent of her formidable strength—and some even felt a surge of urge to challenge her.

How did they find out?

The difference in intelligence between the two sides was revealed in just a few words, and the content further hidden in the words seemed to be saying, "There are many people on Rhodes Island who will fight you."

Impressive negotiation and intelligence skills.

Ioleta quietly earned Rhodes Island a score in other respects.

"You're joking. I'm just a veteran of Pegasus. Besides, it seems your company values ​​physical fitness. Everyone is full of energy, and even the busy core staff seem to make time to exercise."

While politely declining Tequila's explanation, she brought up matters related to the Rhodes Island doctor.

They had met before, specifically on the day the arena was attacked.

The doctor, who was still discussing various matters, hurriedly took his leave after receiving a communication.

We then learned what had happened based on intelligence.

“While mental cultivation is important, maintaining good physical health is equally important, and I believe your company’s PhD is well aware of this.”

"However, if you go out, you will definitely need professional personnel to accompany you, right? There are a lot of troubles during the Major. If you encounter a rogue knight, the average person will not be able to handle it. If needed, we can introduce you to some very good bodyguards."

Ioleta and Senomi both seem to have misunderstood something.

When they heard from Tequila that the doctor was exercising, their subconscious thought was of images like "exercising in the park."

Perhaps it's on the deck, or perhaps the luxury feature is an indoor garden added inside the mobile platform.

Or perhaps they are simply exercising in the rehabilitation area for patients.

These behaviors seem more suitable for the image of that seemingly frail doctor in protective gear.

—But all these psychological predictions vanished before and after Tequila led them to stop at a heavy riot gate.

It looks more like a vault door than an indoor garden.

The strict gatekeeping and the large number of armed personnel entering and leaving convinced the two that this was Rhodes Island's military training area.

Come to think of it, didn't Rhodes Island accept the request for military exercise cooperation?

If it's for exercise, why come here?

Could it be that the doctor from Rhodes Island is also in charge of training soldiers, just like I am?

And did the doctor anticipate their visit and wait here to deliberately give them a hard time?

"Please come in, gentlemen. The doctor is inside."

Some people on Rhodes Island have already learned aura perception.

The initial mass production of the detector can ensure that even people who cannot smell can accurately detect the location of others.

However, the latter is usually only equipped when going out on missions, and is not relied upon for daily personal activities.

It was the tequila that led the two of them here, following the doctor's scent.

At first, Tequila also asked Ioleta for her opinion, asking her if she wanted to wait in the reception room first, and then go to find the doctor herself.

However, they declined the request, stating that they would rather go to the doctor's office on their own initiative.

This kind of "friendly accommodation" is something Tequila is used to in Dossores, and it doesn't affect his judgment of the "political identity" of visitors too much.

Alright, since you want to see so much, then you can watch to your heart's content!

The heavy door opened the passageway.

Diverse and complex training sessions are taking place on the platform, which is divided into multiple blocks—and Ioleta's feelings are probably similar to those of the Rhodes Island instructors who are seeing these training sessions for the first time.

"...What are these people doing?"

"Ah, don't mind it, it's just Rhodes Island's 'special training'."

Tequila led the two to one of the areas, pointed in a certain direction, and said:

"Please look, gentlemen. The doctor is over there."
