I woke up at 4:30 and got up to take care of my daily routine. After I was ready I saw that I had a few minutes to be in the training room. I walked over to the training to see Nemesis standing in the center with her wings out and many weapons floating in the air with a red aura around them. I stood stunned until one of the spears came hurtling at me.

"What the?" I jumped to the side just as a sword came flying at me followed by several knifes and a few more spears. After about half an hour of dodging all the weapons Nemesis stopped and let all the weapons float back to their racks.

"Now do you see how that power can be helpful?" I could only nod as I was gasping for air. Nemesis gave a snort of laughter and gestured for me to walk to her."I want you to fly for half an hour, run for half an hour and at 6:30 I want you to do your workout. After that you are free to go to breakfast and then leave the training barracks." I nodded and she turned to leave before turning back around to me."Oh, and that thing I just did will be part of your training from now on." I nodded and she left.

I Set off flying and half an hour later I landed and started running. I was dying at the end of the half hour and drank a fair amount of water before setting off to do my work out. After I finished that I went and took a quick shower before heading to breakfast. I got there after everyone else and again was met with a silence when I opened the doors. Then it occurred to me that I had been opening both doors on my own when it took at least three to open a door. Oops.

"Boss, what took you so long? Nemesis did tell you?" I laughed on the inside and put on a confused face.

"Tell me what? I only have 45 minutes to eat so talk quickly." Blackjack seemed to shrink back and waved a hand.

"I'll tell you when you sit down." I nodded and went and got my breakfast, smiling at the ladies behind the counter as I did so. They seemed shocked but smiled back after giving me my food. I went and sat down next to Nico who turned and glared  at me. I just gave him a big cheesy grin.

"So, Blackjack, what did you want to tell me?" I turned my attention to Blackjack and ate at the same time.

"Oh, well, all our patrons gave us permission to go wander around the city and I was hoping Nemesis did the same for you." I nodded and listened to the conversations around us for a second. It seemed everyone was given the day off. I hummed before i looked back to Blackjack and saw his hopeful face.

"I see." I then went back to eating. After a few minutes I looked up to see all of them with sad faces. I couldn't help it and I burst out into laughter. Their heads all shot up and they gave me weird looks." Of course she told me. Everyone has today off. She also gave me some money this morning." They all smiled and laughed before realizing everyone was quiet. I sat still and listened to some of the whispers that started. They all had to do with the same thing.  Me. or more specifically my laughter. I sighed and looked at the others. " They are quiet because I laughed. Man, they just won't stop being shocked by attitude." 

"Well, you did punch Chronos in the face when you got here." I groaned at Phoebes words and laid my head on the table.

"Wait, you punched him?" I groaned before Phoebe spoke again.

"Twice." I heard Nico and Blackjack freaking out as I repeatedly slammed my head on the table. 

"Yes, okay. I punched him." 

"WHY?" I groaned and lifted my head off the table.

"We had a misunderstanding. It's fine now. Now, are we going to go?" The others shot of their chairs so fast I thought they would fall over. I laughed and stood at a normal pace before walking towards the doors. They all but ran out of the door before stopping.
