Chapter 112: To Battle

Aldrich did not fly long Hein a flooded alleyway between a few crus There, Portal Girl stood on one of the roofs of the buildings, waving her arms towards Aldrich as he descended

"Hoas Minuteman?" said Portal Girl

"He'll be fine," said Aldrich as he landed beside her "You were correct in judging how e You've got a good grasp of your powers"

"Considering how much I've trained with them, it would be a shame if I didn't," said Portal Girl She looked not towards the city center where occasional explosions and bursts of light flashed, but towards the dark Southside, where Minuteman was "But if it hadn't been for men and women like Minuteman, people that you can really look up to, I don't think I would have ever made it here I just wish I could have thanked hi ht sky, re the faces of his parents People he had looked up to

He remembered when he was a kid, he would have his parents h and promise to be like them

That had obviously not worked out But he still remembered what it felt like back then To hope and to look up It was a good feeling, and he did not begrudge anyone fro it just because he could not

"When all is said and done, when I've made my position in this world, people will know eneral idea of them At that point, you'll have your chance to thank Minuteht," said Aldrich

"Fight" Portal Girl noddedin a breath to psych herself up She looked at her hand It trembled She balled it up

"Are you nervous?" said Aldrich

"Yes I always a the fight, it all goes away I get swept up by what I need to do, the lives I need to save, the people I need to watch out for, and then it's all strangely cal, then For war," said Aldrich "There are plenty who never get past that initial nervousness It simply isn't in their nature But it is for you Now, let's see how far we can cultivate this talent of yours"

Aldrich grasped Portal Girl around the waist and then flapped his wings, soaring into the air while carrying her

"I-uain?" stammered Portal Girl as she looked away from Aldrich, down to the cityscape below to hide a faint blush

"Mega-coet there and regroup, illion," said Aldrich

"A key role? You trust me with that much?" said Portal Girl "I-I don't have an issue with it, it's just, since I literally just graduated fro operation-,"

"There is no better teacher than pressure And I can sense that you are the type that perforh the skies until he spotted the looa complex

"Christ…" said Portal Girl as she looked down at the courtyard There, the massive bone stakes from Aldrich's first entry remained, several fishht bother you?" said Aldrich

"I think it would have, before I changed But now, no, I don't feelat all," said Portal Girl

"Good Because where we are headed, you will see far more of that" Aldrich noted that it seemed that all huht of gore and death

It was very probable that they, like Aldrich and Valera, also began to see hunificant, but he wondered whether that would change for people that valued lives strongly before turning into undead

It was an experiment he would conduct at a later tia co retracted into his armor as he landed Valera and Casimir were at the balcony, and they

Aldrich put Portal Girl down

"Ah, so this is the new addition you spoke of, hm?" said Valera as she eyed Portal Girl up and down, her slit pupiled red and black eyes narrowed in pure judgeile Liable to snap in half under a strong breeze"
