Human market.

Fatal failure.

Chapter 13.

Koala and Fel went through grueling training day after day. The guy returned late in the evening and was exhausted that he had barely soaked enough. Lale looked more cheerful, but she was also tired.

They didn't even really talk to each other, very little. But they always wished good night and usually the girl came earlier. I waited until he came and did not sleep. We understood that everyone was working tirelessly.

Second day of training.

"Not so, again."

The third day of training.

"Ay."

"Wrong. On a new one."

The fourth day of training.

"No concentration. Anew."

“Yes, how can this be done if he does not give me? What nonsense. Can he do that himself?"

Already there was not enough patience and Fel was mentally angry with Koala.

"I can."

The chapter read the thoughts and threw a stick into his hands, with which he knocks down his student.

"Here you go. I'll show you now. You can hit me anywhere, on any part of the body."

He stood on one leg, completely immersed in himself. But this was not just meditation. The feeling that hovered around the leader was chilling and frightening.

"What is it? Well, okay, now he will get it from me. I'll take it out in full, for bullying."

"Hold on."

Fel beat with all his strength, and there was a lot of her. Only now, there was not even a scratch on the Koala and the clothes were intact. And all because all the blows were repelled by an invisible barrier that enveloped his body.

"How is that possible?"

After five minutes, he gave up and was more tired than the leader himself. And he, as if nothing had happened, did not even budge.

"Now I understand. Nothing is impossible. Considering that I am an ordinary person and do not belong to your race."

"So what's the secret?"

"You must understand it yourself. Now let's get up. Let's continue."

"Yes."

The fifth day had already gone, but there was still no result.

"Not true."

"Aaaaaa." The student shouted in pain to the whole hall.

The first week of training is almost over. There are only 2 days left, and Fel never learned to meditate.

In the evening in the room. The boy and the girl were lying in their beds. The hard days go by. Plus, the former servant goes down the knurled one. Not at all understanding what exactly he is doing wrong.

"I'm a corpse. I can't feel my legs at all."

"Something you, none at all. Everything is bad?"

Lale asked. I wanted to support him. She, unlike Fel, is doing well so far and the results leave much to be desired. Gabriela was very surprised at the rapid growth. Few people manage to advance so quickly in such a short time.

"It's impossible. The end of the week is approaching, and I'm not a step closer to completing the program. I don’t understand at all. How will this training help me?"

"The main thing is not to back down. You are strong, and the strong do not give up. You will definitely succeed."

"I will try, but it seems to me that I cannot."

The girl went to the dresser, took the book, opened the page she needed and read.

"A person learns himself in the fight against obstacles."

"Wow. Didn't know what you were reading."

The guy was surprised. He, in turn, read a fairly large number. It happened that it was important for aristocrats that their servants improve themselves. And the more you know and are capable of, the more important people will buy you and the price is higher.

"Quote from the little prince. This is the only book I've read. Memory of deceased parents."

"Yes, I read it too. Great book."

Meanwhile, Gabriela came to the chapter's office. It is interesting to know how the training goes and what the progress is. Only because of enemies or she really worries about him, while no one knows yet. At least she did not give herself away.

"May I come in?"

"Of course. You came to ask about Fel?"

Koala was also careful and pretended not to know anything about her sister and the fact that she planned to betray the organization. For his purposes, this is extremely disadvantageous at the moment. True, he himself has not yet revealed them.

"Yes. How is he doing? Will he survive?"

Cruz was immediately chopping.

"Hard to tell. At first I was sure that he would cope. But after the expiration of five days, now I cannot state this with complete certainty."

Perhaps the first week will be the last for the guy if he does not do anything soon.

“Sorry to the boy. It will be necessary to warn Lale, because she has some kind of feelings for him."

“Don’t worry, she’ll handle it. And yes, don't tell his companions yet. There are still 2 days. After their expiration, I would say everything myself and give the guy a choice, or give up and stop classes. Or continue. But then, the percentage of his survival will undoubtedly be small."

Cruz wanted to share, but Koala stopped. She didn't say it out loud. So how did he know exactly what the fox was thinking? Can he really read minds?

"Good. How do you understand without words? Can you read minds?" Cruz asked.

"No. Just guessing."

Quite a lot of coincidences. For the second time, Koala answers people who have not said anything yet. We only had time to think. He does not look like an ordinary man.

Meybi, on the other hand, trained her best servant. According to the program that she did with Fel in the past. It was not easy for the girl to reveal her peculiarity.

"I can't madam. It's impossible."

"You can handle it, I believe in you."

This support from Miss Cullen gave Sylvia strength and confidence. No one has ever treated her like that. Used as an unnecessary thing, nothing more. And Meybi with care and affection, just like a mother to her child.

"I have to do my best for my lady."

The other servants obeyed Miss Cullen and Sylvia without question. We did all the housework. And unlike the past, no negative came from them.

"We're done."

"Now. I still have a little more to wash."

One out of three lagged behind, but it doesn't matter. They cooperated and decided to finish everything together.

"Let's help."

"I don't need it myself."

"Relax, we should be together. We are a team."

The laggard became very pleased with such care from her colleagues.

"Thank you."

And yet, this party stood out for being very friendly. You can understand everything from an act a minute ago.

2 days later. Sylvia did it and it's just an incredible sight. Unlike the terrible lizard-like appearance of the aristocrat, she was fascinated.

"Madam, look. I managed."

Objects moved from side to side as if by magic. Amazingly, you can't take your eyes off this beautiful and delightful power. But at the same time, so scary. If you use it for evil, then with such an arsenal you can destroy the whole world. And how will I use it? Judging by her antics, it is definitely not for the better.

“Incredible. Even among the praecipua sunt, very few possessed such power. It is definitely not easy. Who were her parents?"

"Good girl. I told you that you could."

The aristocrat could not count on such a result. Almost everything is now ready for her plan. It remains only to wait for her former servant and the appointed day when she decides to reveal all her cards.

"Hee."

But Fel never did it. He could not master meditation. Over the past week, the guy hasn't moved a step. And now, according to the promise that Koala gave, Gabriela. He had to choose. Continue or give up.

"Sorry. I failed you. But I definitely can. I promise. I will not sleep or eat. I train all the time, I will become much stronger."

He did not give up until the end, but he did not yet know that death could await him. If it doesn't stop now.

"Get together with Lale in your room. Need to talk. Barked menacingly."

Gathered all the heads of the organization and Gabriela as well. He did not want to get to this, but there was no other choice. To deprive him of his life without the right to choose is not at all in the style of a leader.

"And why did you collect us?"

Lale asked displeasedly. I was furious at being distracted from training. She had already got a taste and her progress made her very happy.

"In general, so. I didn’t want to talk to the end, but I still have to."

"What exactly?" Fel asked fearfully.

"Your survival rate from my training is only 5 percent. You will most likely die."

And then both jaws dropped. The guy barely mumbled, receiving the shock of the words spoken. Completely confused. But the girl, like an atomic bomb, exploded. And she was angry that the organization hid this fact from them. Then she would not have supported Fel for anything, in this crazy workout.

"Why didn't you tell him about it earlier?" Lale screamed at the entire huge mansion.

"I hoped for the best and thought it wouldn't come to that. I was sure he could handle it."

Fox and Koala understood that they were wrong and it was worth telling. But all the same, the leader was counting on a completely different result than he received.

"Fel, can you refuse?"

Lale turned her face away from Koala and looked at the guy.

"Give up Fel."

The girl screamed in fright. I didn't want to lose him. They only got close and were going to protect each other in the upcoming battle. And now, she is being told that he might die. Yes, she almost had tears flowing from her eyes.

"Yes. It is up to you. But the answer is needed tomorrow before class starts."

"Good. But I have already accepted it."

Fel didn't even think about it and answered right away. He made a decision for himself long ago.

"What?"

"I will continue and I will not die. I will survive and become stronger."

The guy shone with hope. And again this unusual wave passed, which Gabriela had felt more than once before. Perhaps there is still a chance and this 5 percent will be decisive in his subsequent training.

"Good answer."
