The members of Griffe would wake up for another day and walk into the main room. The only two who were missing where Breaker who was still asleep and Brooklyn who was already training.

"Wow." Ember began to speak. "Brooklyn must be really strong."

"Yes." Lilith responded "Because of her condition Brooklyn makes up for it by trying to maintain her peak physical condition. Oh right. I have to go to a meeting about some stuff today so Rex is in charge." Lilith would walk off waving.

Everyone slowly turned to Rex in anticipation for what he was going to say.

Rex simply shrugged. "Do whatever you want I don't care." He walked off. "I'm going back to bed. Wake me up and I'll burn you death."

The Griffe members walked off to their rooms to get dressed. Once everyone was done Lucy would walk to Leonidas.

"Hi Leonidas. I was uhm wondering if you wanted to t-train with me?" As she finished her sentence Brooklyn walked by drinking her water.

"Oh. Normally I would but I wanted to train with Brooklyn right now. Maybe another time Lucy."

Brookyn and Leonidas walked off leaving Lucy in shock.

"W-with Brooklyn?" She'd grab the wall beginning to clench down on it causing it to slowly crack. "Brooklyn is trying to take Leonidas away from me isn't she??" Lucy would begin to let her imagination run wild. "She thinks that she marry my Leonidas!?" She'd tear a chunk of the wall off.

Ember would sip some of her tea laughing with a slight shakiness in her voice. "I'll be going now." She'd set her glass down and walk off.

Nitro and Jagora had already begun their training. "Okay Nitro." Jagora began to speak. "I'm going to teach you a new move." He'd become surrounded in black markings. "First, I'm going to see how much you've grown from my last visit."

Nitro nodded surrounding himself in his markings as well. "Alright. Don't hold back on me this time." Nitro ran forward throwing a punch as Jagora caught it.

"Hm." He'd smirk sliding back slightly after the attack. "I don't plan to."

While Brooklyn and Leonidas prepared to start their training Brooklyn finished her water. "Is there a particular reason you choose me over your friends?"

"Well you control metal I'm sort of made of metal so I thought us training together would make sense." Leonidas responded.

"Okay. I suppose that makes sense." Brooklyn walked off into a weight room while Leonidas followed. "I'll train with you but first you have to help me." Brooklyn sat down.

"What?" Leonidas asked slightly confused.

"Activate your ability." Brooklyn demanded.

"Okay?" Leonidas's skin would change colors. "I don't see how this helps?"

Brooklyn would grab Leonidas's left and leg. "Don't move." She'd lean back and begin to use Leonidas as a weight showing extreme ease while lifting him.

Leonidas went completely silent. "How strong are you?!"

Brooklyn shrugged continuing to lift Leonidas. "Why? Can't everyone do this?"

"Nope I don't think everyone can." Leonidas went silent again.

Once Brooklyn finished she dropped Leonidas and stood up. "Okay lets go." She walked outside. "What do you want to work on?"

"I just want to do some sparring." Leonidas responded getting into a fighting position.

"If you want." Brooklyn held her hand up as he pole came flying to her. She'd catch and spin her pole pointing it at Leonidas. "I'm ready when you are."

Meanwhile Nitro stood in an empty field with Jagora behind him. "Are you sure I'm ready for this move" Nitro asked glancing to Jagora.

"Yes. You're the only one who I know can pull it off. Now try it again." Jagora said crossing his arms.

Nitro began to surround himself in black aura. "Alright it you insist Master"

Jagora would begin to think. If what I was told is true. He has to master this technique fast.

Brooklyn would lunge forward to Leonidas to attack.

Leonidas would leap around to the side and reach behind him to grab Brooklyn's arm. Once he has he'd attempt to flip her over him but stop halfway through.

"What? Why'd you stop? Is there a problem?" Brooklyn asked confused.

"....Nope. Just felt two things press against my back." He'd let go of her arm. "That was a good match. I think I'm done for today."

Brooklyn shrugged. "Alright if you insist."

Leonidas would nod. "Mhm. Good job Brookie."

Brooklyn would pause. "What did you call me?"

"Brookie." Leonidas responded.
"It's my nickname for you."

Brooklyn would stare. "Don't call me that." She'd prepare to leave before being stopped by Lucy who was growling

"Would you like to spar Brooklyn!?" She'd clench her fist tightly.

"Sure." Brooklyn would step back. "Lets go."

Lucy would activate her ring and leap into the air throwing a punch downwards. As Brooklyn dodged Lucy smashed the ground beneath them. If I can beat Brooklyn. Leonidas will want to train with me. Then we can bond and he'll love me! Then we can get married! Lucy would begin to rapidly slash at Brooklyn. "What's wrong? All you can do is dodge?!"

Brooklyn had an expressionless face on as she slammed her fist into the back of Lucy's head knocking her out of her transformation and slamming her into the ground.

Lucy went silent. ".....Okay...you win..."

Leonidas began to clap causing Lucy's rage to increase.

Brooklyn wants to take my Leonidas!? Lucy began to think. She wants him!? I'll kill her if she gets in my way!

Brooklyn walked of. "I'm gonna shower."

Lilith sat in a room full of other Society masters in the middle of a discussion. "Soo Griffe defeated Hydra. Yay for us."

A man would begin to laugh. "You think defeated Hydra is that much of a feat? Sander and Hydra are nothing compared to the Top Five!"

"Yes." A woman agreed. "Bragging about this is nothing. They saw Sander and Hydra as a joke."

Lilith began to think before speaking. "Okay"
