Lazily Yours.

Maverick

Maverick was a mutant that could heal himself. He was enhanced and designed to do it so he could deal with Wolverine!

This was the code that Gabi wanted to tell him. Just like Maverick, Gabi's body has been enhanced too. This was the only reason she would use the word Maverick on the letter!

She was his maverick!

"Clever…. Very clever." Aden smiled. Gabi could use other well-known characters that could heal themselves. However, the name Maverick also had another meaning. It means an independent-minded person. Or a person who refuses to follow the rules of a group that he or she is a member of.

A normal person who would read the letter and search about the word maverick would simply think that it was something that Aden used to call her because she was unorthodox. It was like a pet name.

Since they didn't know that her body had been enhanced by Aden, they wouldn't think about comparing Maverick to the one on X men! He immediately got out of bed and run towards his lab. He needed to check it again!

As the first person who receive this treatment, Aden wasn't too sure about the changes that the nano would bring into her body.

"Hey… where are you going?" Tureis followed him into his lab. "You are not sleeping. Are you going to kill someone?"

"What do you need?" Right now, his priority is to study the effects on her body. He was even prepared to go back home just to check her body.

"The Sealey's."

"What about them?"

"You told me to watch them."

"And?"

"They are making movements against Miss Sutton's Ren Family."

"Oh?" Aden arrived in his lab. He immediately changed into his lab coat. "Tell me more."

"Well… I am guessing that they have a spy inside the Ren Family. They were able to win a few biddings against the Rens. I believe they are specifically targeting the Ren Family because of what Miss Sutton did."

Gabi would surely deal with them if she was here. But she wasn't.

"So… they are targeting the Ren Family. But they were already eyeing them even before Gabi dealt with them, right?"

"Yes. But that was only a guess. However, this time, they are making it so obvious."

"Hmmm… Look into it. The only reason why they are doing this is that they found a backer. The main clan must have sent someone. Also… schedule a meeting with that stupid Prince. Tell him, I want to see him."

"Yes, sir." Finished talking, Tureis left Aden alone.

…

Meanwhile, Gabi didn't stop experimenting to check her newfound healing ability. Despite the pain, she endured and cut herself over and over again just to check her body. She tried cutting her leg, arms, and thighs and she realized that bigger wounds would take a longer time to heal. Which was already expected. What she didn't expect was actually the pain.

And all throughout the healing process, she would feel a mixture of pain and itchiness on the wound. And even if the wound already healed, the pain inside her body would stay for a couple more hours. For instance, a pinky size cut on her leg would take at least an hour to heal. And a palm-size cut would take at least three hours. Moreover, even if the wound started healing, the blood flowing from it wouldn't stop unless she used a cloth or anything that would slow it down. This really made her happy and bothered at the same time. After all, once people discover this, they might take her and cut her body just to see what was causing these magical abilities.

Because of this, Gabi also checked her body and discovered that this didn't affect her old scars. So the small scars that she had when she was a child didn't disappear. On the contrary, the wounds that she had after the treatment would vanish as if they weren't there in the first place.

Gabi slowly regretted not being good at anything aside from scheming. If she was good at science, she would have taken an interest in the words that Aden told her because he started the treatment.

Right now, her only problem is to keep this a secret. However, how could she keep it a secret? This camp involves a lot of fighting! Fighting means wounds!

Slowly, days passed, and the training camp officially started.

On the first day, Gabi went to the eighth floor, where the training grounds were located. Wearing a sleek black uniform that hugged her body, Gabi looked at the training ground that looked bigger than a football ground. She couldn't help but wonder how they build this place.

Gabi withdrew her gaze and switched it towards the other trainees that were standing just a few feet away from her. Right now, thirty-one people were gathered in the middle of the training grounds. All of them were wearing a black and sleek material that looked like leather but was stretchable and hard. The material hugged each of their bodies, emphasizing their muscles and curves.

This suit totally reminded Gabi of the leather clothes from those movies that she saw when she was younger. However, she knew that the material used to make the suit wasn't leather. To her surprise, though, the suit isn't heavy at all. If anything, it was light and very comfortable.

"Hey… Little lady… what's your name."

Gabi turned towards the group of people who approached a woman that was smaller than Gabi. The woman was sporting a clean military cut. Despite this, she had a great figure that was emphasized by the suit. She was about five foot two, with full breasts, a slim waist, and straight legs. Despite her short hair, she looked really attractive and hot.

To everyone's surprise, the woman ignored the six-foot-tall man who approached her. He only gave him a bland gaze before turning her head away in the other direction.

"Huh? Did she just ignore me?"

"Boss Ting… it seems that she didn't recognize you." Someone from the back said before whistling. "Fiery. I hope this one won't be easy."

Gabi frowned and turned the other way. It seems that this Ting was a leader of a small group of men. She wondered if they came from one place. And why are they acting like thugs? Isn't this a prestigious place just for the elite?

"Hey… are you ignoring me?" Gabi heard the man named Ting, said. She wasn't too far away from the petite woman and her senses were very sharp. So, even if she wasn't looking at them, she could hear the man's foot's steps and the woman's calm breathing from where she was.

The man approached the girl. "Hey! Are you f*ckin deaf?"

"She's always alone even while eating…" someone from the back murmured. "Maybe that's why they thought she was an easy target." The person who said that was a man who looked skinny and was about five foot eight tall. He was just talking to himself and he was about twenty feet away from Gabi, but she could clearly hear his words.

The man stood next to the girl, his gaze sharp. "So… you are ignoring me."

In response, the girl stared at him. "Do you need anything?"

"Stay in my dorm tonight and I won't challenge you to a duel."

The woman just stared at Ting, her face frosty. "Do you want to die?"

"Hah… do you understand what you are trying to…" Before the man could finish his words, the woman already made her move. She sent the base of her palm towards the tall man. However, the man quickly avoided this. He took a side step and attempted to dodge the woman's attack. To his surprise, the woman stopped midway and kick his shin.

The action was too fast, yet the man was still able to avoid it by stepping back.

"Feisty." The man snorted. "You think you can beat me in a fight?"

"Lu Tingting…" the woman blurted. "Just because you look like a hippo doesn't mean that you are strong. You think I am scared of your thick skin?"

"You — What did you just say?"

Gabi raised an eyebrow at the woman's words. It seems that the woman actually knows the man?

"I said… you look like a hippo. Did you think your friends can protect you here? Think again." The woman had disgust written all over her face.

"You little b*tch…"

"You elephant. Don't think that I would spare you just because we came from the same country. I would use this opportunity to beat you. Don't worry… I would definitely spare you. However, I am not sure if I could spare that other part of your body." While saying this, she stared at Lu Tingting's crotch and snorted. "You know… the small one."

"You — I will kill you — " Hearing her words, Lu Tingting immediately sent a flying kick, but the woman easily avoided it.

"Weak…"

"You — " Before Lu Tingting could do anything else, they heard someone's whistle. Everyone turned their heads towards Ma Ping, who walked in wearing the same black uniform. He smiled at them.

"Seems like… everyone is excited to hit each other." Ma Ping beamed. "Don't worry… I am excited to hit you too."
