"So what's the plan now?" Jasper asked, feeling a little overwhelmed by everything that had happened.
"Well, first things first, you need to train," replied Frost.
"Train? How?" Jasper asked, curious.
"You ask too many questions. Just follow me," Frost said, leading Jasper to a corner of the room.
Jasper hesitated. "Wait, we're teleporting? Do I have to hold your hand?"
Frost sighed. "Yes, we're teleporting, and yes, you have to hold my hand. Do you want to go or not?"
Jasper reluctantly grabbed Frost's hand, and in the blink of an eye, they were transported to a new location.
"Whoa, where are we?" Jasper looked around in amazement.
"This is a branch of our main headquarters, and we're going to be training in one of our testing chambers," Frost explained.
He handed Jasper a gun and a machete. "And these are your weapons. You can't control your powers yet, so you'll have to rely on your other senses to survive. You''ll be staying here for a week but don't worry I already sent someone to your parents to inform them."
"A week? That's a long time," Jasper said, feeling a bit anxious.
Frost nodded. "Yes, it is, but you'll need that time to hone your skills. And don't worry, I've already informed your parents that you'll be staying here."
"But even a martial artist can't master everything in a week," Jasper protested.
"True, but I'm not teaching you martial arts. I'm teaching you how to survive and become a warrior," Frost explained. "You have a great potential for destruction, and I need to make sure you know how to control that power."
Jasper felt a shiver go down his spine. "How exactly are you going to do that? I mean, I'm just a kid."
"That's exactly why I need to train you," Frost said. "You have the potential to take lives, and I want to make sure you know how to use that power responsibly."
As they spoke, some agents entered the testing chamber, and Jasper realized that he was in for a serious training session.
Frost continued, "This is your teachers, and you will call them by their codenames. They are respectively the six strongest persons in this facility."
Jasper was confused, "Six? There's only five of them?"
Frost chuckled, "Hey, I'm the sixth one. I'm also known as Frost of the Cold Hell. I specialize in the sixth sense, but we'll get to that later. So, let me introduce you to Miss Flex. She specializes in evasion and is also known as the 'Unhittable Flex.'"
Jasper looked impressed, "Wow, that sounds cool. Who's next?"
Frost pointed to the next teacher, "This is Beast. He specializes in brute strength and is also known as the 'Fearsome Beast.'"
Jasper nodded, "Okay, got it. And who's that ninja-looking guy?"
Frost smiled, "That's Shadow. He's one of the most stealthy and fastest ninjas you'll ever know. He's known as 'Pitch Black Shadow' and specializes in speed, stealth, and pinpointing nearby enemies."
Jasper was fascinated, "That's amazing. Who's the strong-looking guy over there?"
Frost introduced Maze, "That's Maze. He specializes in enhancing eyesight and body strengthening techniques. He's also known as 'The Colossus Maze.'"
Jasper asked, "And who's the last one?"
Frost replied, "That's Shield, and he's the king of ironhead defense. He's known as the 'King of Unpenetrable Defense.' Shield specializes in engineering and the most secret arts of defense."
