Welcome To The Nightmare (Book 2)

Chapter 50: Welcome to Purgatory

JiU was lounging alone in the common room of his father's mansion. Now that she looked at the place carefully, she understood why they didn't go out much. The mansion have everything to serve their needs for entertainment, minus shopping, of course. But JiU never been a fan of shopping or mingling in the public as a whole unless being invited or if needed to.

The common room has every indoor entertainment equipment; gaming consoles, shelves of board games, pool table, foosball, and even darts board. Though the darts has been replaced with throwing knives. On the corner of an enormous flat screen TV, there's a little karaoke machine and some of the musical instruments neatly arranged at the left side of it.

Nana told her there's an arcade room down the hall if she wanted to play. But a thought came to her. What's the use of having a gigantic mansion when the inhabitants are only three people plus an AI?

And right now, with everyone busy attending to their own businesses, for once she felt she was at her loneliest. With Gahyeon spending her times with her boyfriend, Jurina in Tokyo, Calintz down in the RnD with Sayaka, and the others are all embarking with their own endeavors. She sighed and rolled herself on the ground, making whirling sound.

"Brur, brur brur brur~~~ Brur, brur brur brur~~~"

"ARGH!!!! THIS IS BO~~~~~RING!!! I SHOULD'VE GONE WITH SUA TO CZECH REPUBLIC!!" JiU shrieked.

"Oookay.... That was harrowing..." Calintz appeared behind her, eyes wide. JiU was startled by his voice she quickly jumped to her feet.

"APPA!!! DON'T YOU EVER KNOCK?! YOU'RE GONNA SCARED ME TO DEATH!!" JiU rubbed her chest in an attempt to slow down her racing heart.

"Sorry. I heard some weird noises coming out from the common room, so I came to check it out. Turns out it was you. You okay, honey?" Calintz asked as he dropped himself on a bean bag.

"Bored." JiU groaned while lying flat on her stomach, face down on the carpet. Calintz let out a small chuckle at JiU's behavior.

"Appa~~~ I'm bored as fuck!!! Let's go out~~~ Drive me around the city or something..." JiU cried out to him.

"I thought I've shown you where the garage was. Appa kinda busy at the moment, dear~~" Calintz replied in a sing song manner, eyes fixed to his AR.

"Che! What a boring father I have!" JiU chided. Calintz seemed to pay no attention to her, still continuing doing his thing on his AR.

They kept their silence for a short while until Calintz broke it off.

"Okay. I'm done. Help me with something?" Calintz looked upon JiU.

"Beats not doing anything. What is it?" JiU got on her feet.

"Spar with me." Calintz raised his eyebrow.

"Excuse me?" JiU furrowed her eyebrows.

"Spar with me. Let me see how much you had progressed. Besides, I kinda need some workout to destress. Don't worry, I promise I'll take you for some food getaways later." Calintz offered. JiU took the offer in a blink of an eye.

"Deal! Lead the way!" JiU huffed.

Calintz took her to the lowest subterranean level of the mansion, which is their training ground. JiU thought she had stepped into some other realm by the space it has.

"There's always surprise whenever I go in this mansion. I know you have a training ground, but never thought it would be this.... Big." JiU looked at her surrounding.

"Built with the same specs as the training facility Shadow Corps uses. 75 metres high, it width and length covers the size of the mansion. Built to withstood a nuclear blast and also can be used as a bunker like in Fallout  4. Here we can unleash all of our abilities without having to worry about destroying our surrounding. All other combat trainings are run by simulation. You named it, we got it." Calintz explained to JiU. He passed the AR to JiU for her to check out and one thing piqued her curiosity.
