The subject of the morning training focused on the application of what they had learned over the days. Guan Dongyang led the exercises as soldiers struggled to balance their old and new GN circulations while stabilizing their GN force.

Around noon, Ye Zi arrived at the mechanic room to invite Wang Tong over for lunch. Wang Tong's all-encompassing skills had impressed her. She had never heard of anyone who was not only a mastery caster, but also a METAL fighter. On top of that, he was an incredible mechanic.

Ye Zi wondered if there was anything that Wang Tong could not do: perhaps having babies? It was a fleeting thought, but Ye Zi then immediately scolded herself for having such a foolish idea.

”Captain, time for lunch.” Ye Zi shouted at Wang Tong. But, there was no reply, as he was absorbed in his work.

'Disassemble, repair, and reassemble'… Wang Tong finished the job in one go, breathing a new life into each and every METAL suit that had been damaged.

He wiped the sweat off his forehead and smiled satisfyingly. He really enjoyed being a mechanic, particularly the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment. To him, it was the best form of taking a rest, to be away from his troubles.

Looking at the last METAL suit that he had finished repairing, Wang Tong smiled. It was the first time for Ye Zi to see such a child-like, innocent smile on his face.

”Ye Zi, come look at this piece of METAL. Didn't I do a good job? Haha.” Wang Tong turned to face Ye Zi and then asked.

Ye Zi blushed as she replied, ”Time for lunch. If you starve to death, everyone is going to blame me for not taking good care of you.”

”Lunch already? Ah-ha, that is why my belly feels so weird! Do we have roast today?”

”Yes, only for you. ”

Wang Tong smiled joyfully. In addition to repairing METAL, he also loved to eat.

”Ye Zi, after the mastery training in the afternoon, can I ask you a few questions about the usage of mastery in the medic field?” Wang Tong asked on their way to the dining room.

”You know about that?”

”Just a little. I also wanted to get a better idea of the development of the Divine Mastery Sect. You are the only medic in Battle Wolf, so it must be a lot of work for you. I am planning to train a few soldiers and let them become your assistants.”

”Thank you for the thought, but it is easier said than done. Not every soldier is fit for being a field medic. Even in the Divine Mastery Sect, the chance that a sect member would be up to the scratch for being a medic was very small. Oh! One more thing... The creator of the medic occupation was not the young master, but the head medic, Susu.”

”Susu? Isn't she one of the three beauties on Mars?”

”Yeah, yeah. Looks are always the only thing that guys are interested in. Susu is our young master's sister. Although she is not very famous outside of Mars, she is one of the most influential people in the sect. If she were a man, she might have already become the heir apparent of the sect. ”

”Good to know. So, is the medic a type of non-combat mastery?”

”No. It can be deadly when it needs to. Our young master made sure it is that way himself.” Ye Zi said with a smug look on her face.

Sensing Ye Zi's admiration toward Michaux, Wang Tong shook his head and lamented that Michaux's cult of personality was a bit over the top. However, he quickly realized that a cult of personality could be a very effective tool for uniting people together during such a tumultuous time. Perhaps, he should try it at some time.

The mastery casters sat around Wang Tong at the dining table. They patiently waited until Wang Tong had picked the last grain of rice from his plate, then started to bombard him with questions. Wagering that the soldiers' questions might get out of control, Wang Tong decided only to answer ten questions. Any more questions would have to wait until tomorrow.
