"So that is why I want to start training here sir."
"Ok, protecting yourself and those you love is an average reason, but you did not have to teleport away my two black belts to talk to me."
"Sorry sir, I just didn't know if they would try to test me on my ability to fight, while I have no training."
"That is understandable, but you are one of the only people able to teleport others."
"Making it unfair to train me?"
"No making it unfair to send anyone of higher skill against you, you could win with a ring out permanently."
"Oh... I understand, No magic during training or tournaments."
"Close enough, we will begin tomorrow."
"Thank you Master."
"You're welcome, White Belt Daniel-San."
I bowed to my new martial arts master before walking out of the community center and the two blackbelts were sitting calmly outfront on either side as I began to walk home, both excited and annoyed.
My phone began to ring softly in my pocket as I began to walk home, I did not teleport the blackbelts very far so it only used the base cost.for the spell without any distance penalties.
"Yes hun?"
I answered my Lover's call.
"There is a package here for you."
"Oh? did it catch your attention?"
I ask smiling softly not letting on that I know what it is.
"Yes, why did you get a make-your-stuffed-toy item?"
"You'll see when I get home baby."
"Is it for me Daddy?"
"You'll see baby."
I say smiling as I watch my MP regen before teleporting back home once I have enough MP, arriving in the front yard before walking into my home and to my lover before gently holding them lovingly.
"So how are you doing with transitioning from your old home to here?"
"It's kinda... awkward... mostly because everyone just kind of... keeps staring..."
"That's because I'm mostly antisocial."
My lover nodded and gently cuddled up into me more as another one of the residents in my home, a young woman of 16 years blushed softly before anxiously trying to hide their face with their phone and saying.
"Can you two not be so lovey dovey infront of me?"
Before I simply sighed, picked up my lover as they teleported back into our room, as I walked in a moment later so that we could continue to cuddle in peace.

"So this is the modified paint ball assault rifle?"
Lawrence asked as he ran his fingers along the trigger and stock of this FAL modeled gun, the air canister being within the stock for a combination of mobility and sleek design, the sight was a modified Iron sight using a tri-prong design instead of the normal single prong between the two attachment rails, a nice secondary handle for accuracy and range under the barrel, and the barrel was longer than normal, by a few inches and with a compensator attached to the muzzle.
"Very nice, but why do I feel like I have seen this before?"
"We modeled it after your favorite combination on the newest FPS game you play."
"Ah, that makes sense now, I hope you do as well with the pistol."
"Speaking of which, we have the outer shell and trigger ready, but need to finish cleaning the Magazine for ease of use."
"Awesome!"
Lawrence said happily while now looking over his secondary weapon.
"So in two weeks I will be leading the next champion team."
Lawrence mumbled to himself in confidence as he began to take care of, and clean his newest guns and began to get ready for his teleportation class, two weeks now, and only one other person can use teleport, but she has yet to come out from her almost three day long coma.
"Private Lawrence! Your presence has been requested in Medical by General Nevlin!"
Lawrence quickly nodded and put on his coat before quickly jogging out from his private quarters heading to Medical, and he began to think to himself about if he could cast a speed enhancing spell for when 'Teleport' couldn't be used or maybe in conjunction with 'Teleport'.
As Lawrence arrived the young woman was starting to sit up and rubbing their shoulders, her physical form completely visible to all due to the medical gown she was in, as she attempted to recount how the lest three days felt like nothing and how she now has an updated system, unknowingly having the same system as Daniel and Sam.
"So what else do you have then?"
Nevlin asked while she started to talk about the different setup of stats, that there were less, but while condensed the numbers roughly added up.
"Do you have Spell Research or any such tabs?"
"No, but I do now have the option to directly contact anyone else with this system, and there are two other people who also have this updated form."
"Really? Do you know who they are?"
Lawrence pipped up now curious if anyone else they know of has it.
"Daniel and Sam are the only other names given."
"Damn it! He unlocked the update too! We should have been more strict with Daniel to learn of these things."
Nevlin says both annoyed and defeated.
"But what does this mean then?"
"It means once we know the true nature of the system then we can unlock more abilities and possibly create a new ranking system."
Lawrence answered Nevlin and the woman before the nearby nurse suddenly fainted, only to then be tended to the only other nurse there as the woman looks up at Lawrence.
"I don't think we have properly met. My name is Jasmine."
"I am Lawrence, it is nice to meet you Jasmine."
After about three hours of constant talking and figuring out the new updated system Jasmine chuckles softly before simply asking Nevlin bluntly.
"Should I tell Sam and Daniel that I am part of the army?"
"Yes Lieutenant, I firmly believe that Lying with those two will only harm our relationship with Daniel, and we need a good relationship for now."
"Understood."
Jasmine said before sending a message back to Sam and Daniel separately that she is part of the USA military.
