The sky stretched out above, a vibrant canvas of brilliant blue hues. The radiant sun cast its golden beams down upon the earth below, bathing the landscape in a warm, illuminating glow. Creatures of the forest moved about in a graceful dance, their natural beauty on display as they roamed the huge forest.

However, the beautiful forest was abruptly shattered as a big hammer hurtled through the air, crashing into the trunk of a nearby tree. Startled, the animals dashed away urgently, fleeing from the unexpected disturbance.

"Oops." Buttercup winced as she realized her latest aim had gone off target again. She's been training since 9 in the morning, after what felt like an eternity to convince her mom to let her go out after she's been let out of the hospital.

They took forever to start training since Buttercup needed to transform and HIM got frustrated when she couldn't get the name right. After a while she was able to transform with the words 'Powered Buttercup.'

She already been healed completely thanks to HIM magic. The doctors were puzzled at the speed of her recovery, but seeing that she felt well enough to walk around and do things without any problems, they had released her from hospitalization.

"Take your time, kid." HIM attempted to conceal his growing impatience, masking it with a patient tone. Deep down, he couldn't help but feel frustrated that her training was taking so long.

He tried to keep his cool to keep up his persona in front of Buttercup. "Maybe I should've gotten the other puff." He mumbled under his breath, watching quietly as Buttercup hurled the hammer once more, this time successfully hitting the target.

Buttercup gleefully stayed in the air for a few seconds, her arms raised triumphantly above her head. "Boss! I did it!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement. "I finally hit the target!" She twirled and spun in a victory lap, her joy palpable. HIM acknowledged her accomplishment only with a single nod, his expression remaining neutral.

"Stop cheering that was just one thing. Buttercup you need a lot of training. I'm kind of disappointed. When you first got these powers it didn't take this long." He said sternly as he rubbed his head. Buttercup's joy was quickly erased as HIM's stern words pierced through her. His disappointment was apparent, and his blunt admission of her lack of progress left her feeling deflated. Buttercup's arms drooped, the excitement draining from her like air from a balloon.

HIM words seemed to carry a knife-like sharpness, each one sinking deep into her heart. She lowered herself to the ground, the sense of accomplishment she had just felt disappearing like a wisp of smoke. "Yes, I will try to do better this time." She said quickly as she ran to grabbed her hammer.

HIM teleported next to Buttercup, and a small, black device appeared in his outstretched hand. "This is for your bracelet," he explained, taking her bracelet and attaching the device to it. "And it's vital that you never take it off. Ever." He gave her a firm look, making sure his instructions were clear. Buttercup, nodding once more, silently indicated her understanding of the command, her eyes locked to the device as it wrapped itself to the bracelet.

"Understood, boss," she responded quietly. Her voice now more subdued and serious. She acknowledged the need to become more focused and disciplined to earn HIM's approval. The thought of disappointing HIM again was not an option, and she was determined to prove herself worthy of his praise.
