The Random Strangers

Perria then remembered an old flashback where they were all sitting at a big table having a type of conference. And where Perria then asked, "So Khalia and you have no Engine Form powers, then... How do you guys expect to survive this journey? She is strong all right. In terms of combat, she is really strong. I'll give her that. And we know that you're kind of powerful, Orwan has also sensed a powerful presence from you that of strong willpower or something from your pulse, which is according to him quite different from normal humans. But Khalia? She has no Engine Form, neither Orwan has ever sensed anything from her."

"That's right! I could never not even when we were kids, sense anything from her other than her pulse. She was just like that of an ordinary human being. No willpower, fear, strength, danger, hate, affection, nothing. I could sense nothing of these other than her pulse. But...other than that, she's great in terms of strength..." sighed Orwan in a way he was remembering a bad flashback.

"Well now all of you, Engine Form is not the only root of all problems you see. Khalia was trained enough to overcome such things. And as a matter of fact, I was the one who trained her..."

Everyone was suddenly shocked at what Eunara said and then Andel then with a surprising reaction asked, "She was trained under you!?

"Yes indeed. If you think about it, I am not that quite good at concealing my presence you know... Eunara 2.0 was disappointed. And Orwan, the reason you couldn't sense anything from her, is because she is hiding her presence everywhere. And even as we speak, she is concealing it..."

"Woah! Okay, my bad I underestimated her. But she can hide her presence? That is way too cool." cheered Catie.

"Yeah no kidding!" said Elijah.

"Well I'll be damned, I think I must start working on my ability more. But since when Eunara? Since we were kids? She kept hiding her presence?" questioned dumbfounded Orwan.

Eunara replied, "To be precise, she knew how to do that long ago before I ever even started training her. And yes Orwan, I expect you will master the technique of sensing presence quite greatly. And that same goes for you Perria, Andel, Catie, and Elijah. We will from now on be facing our enemies with various abilities. So to be defensive for yourself, you all must be prepared! Eunara 5.5 serious.

"Yes, sure!"

"Roger!"

Everyone responded.

Eunara then added, "Also to mention, I request you to have a distance from Khalia at certain times. Khalia is dangerous too. And I am not saying only to the enemy, but also us..."

All of them suddenly were so curious about what Eunara just said.

"W-what? Y-you're joking right?" asked Catie as she was grinning sarcastically.

"'Certain times'? I have known Khalia since we were kids. And she has never been dangerous or anything. What are you implying exactly, Eunara?" questioned Orwan.

"And dangerous to us too? Eunara, What are you talking about?" asked curious Perria too.

"Y-yeah...I am lost here too.," said Andel.

"Me three..." added Elijah.

"Ah well, you guys! You don't have to worry about it now! She is fine! Chillax people! She is anyway not like that now. So I'll just assume she's fine for now. She's calmer now. And don't worry, I'll explain more later when the time comes. For now, we gotta hurry! I am hungry. Eunara 8.0 peckish." responded Eunara.

Perria and Andel sighed with relief and then said, "Yeah right! Me too!"

"Me three!" replied Catie. "Yeah same I am starving!" said Orwan.

"I am first!" assured Elijah.

Perria then after thinking about this flashback thought in her mind," Is what I saw, what Eunara said the other day? Was that a part of what Eunara told us about?"

"Perria! We got more meat! Let's dig in!" shouted Andel as all of them started making barbeques out of the bear Elijah caught the other time.

"Yeah! Be right there!" responded Perria as she just sighed after what she thought and forgot about it.
