Chapter 591: Morning Training

Sophie reopened her eyes and found herself back in her bedroom with the faint sounds of water falling coming from the shower where Cleo was bathing.

Truthfully even though she tried to comfort herself that at least she got the chance to see her mother… Sophie felt a bit disappointed.

There was just so much that she had left to say.

She wanted her mom to know about her friends, her life, her teachers… everything.

Although her dad had always treated her with love and care, Sophie would be lying if she said that she didn’t wonder about what life would be like if she had both parents with her.

The hybrid girl let out a heavy sigh and leaned against the nearest pillow.

Her head sunk into the soft fluffy material and an overwhelming wave of exhaustion struck her body.

Today had been such a long day.

First, she had to deal with assassins targeting Cleo for some unknown reason then she had somehow been given the ability to teleport to her mother’s side in an astral form but then the ability vanished.

Sophie could feel her eyelids slowly closing as she struggled to stay awake. The corners of her vision were turning black as she shifted her body into a more comfortable position.

No… she wanted to…tell Cleo what had just happened…

The water finally turned off which meant that Cleo had finished her bath. Sophie tried to turn her head to see her girlfriend, but her sleepiness finally won.

She closed her eyes and fell into a peaceful and dreamless slumber.

Cleo stepped out of the bathroom wearing nothing but a towel that barely hid her slender frame as she seductively swayed towards the bed.

Her messy black hair fell below her shoulders and her piercing green eyes sparkling with mischief as she walked towards Sophie.

“Hey baby…I… Sophie?” Cleo’s quiet whisper faded away as she realised that her girlfriend was fast asleep on the bed.

The princess raised a brow in disbelief since Sophie rarely fell asleep before she did and never when she promised some sexy time between the two of them.

Cleo raised up her hand and gently touched the side of Sophie’s cheek.

She looked down at her girlfriend and the corners of her mouth gradually curved upwards.

Well so be it… guess tonight would just be cuddling.

Honestly, she needed a quiet night after the events of today so maybe this was for the best.

The princess walked over to the nearby closet and pulled out a white nightie that was made from a silk-like material.

She removed her towel and changed into her bed clothes without caring if her girlfriend saw her body or not.

Cleo finished changing and walked over to the bed. She moved over to the other side of Sophie and snuggled in her arms.

The hybrid girl furrowed her brows as her arms moved subconsciously to wrap tightly around Cleo’s body.

The princess felt the warmth of her girlfriend’s body as she leaned in even closer and softly pecked her lips.

“Good night, babe,” Cleo whispered sweetly as she closed her eyes and enjoyed the sensation of being hugged.

(The next morning)

(Peterlor Estate- Training Field No.12)

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Sophie ducked and weaved to the side as she tried to avoid the incoming wave of plasma fire directed at her body.

She was currently training in the fighting arena against an army of one hundred drones.

These robot weapons were circular metalloid devices with two blaster rifles attached to the top of their bodies.

The heavy-duty engine attached to their underside allowed them to move quickly in the air and change positions rapidly.

A faint crimson mist was beginning to spread from the corners of Sophie’s golden eyes as the world gradually slowed down to a crawl.

Her five senses got stronger and stronger until she felt as though she could smell, taste, see, hear, and touch everything within a ten-kilometer radius.

Sophie’s body moved automatically as her instincts took over. The hybrid girl reached into her storage bag and pulled out five needles.

The tips of the needles gleamed under the sunlight, and one could see a foul greenish liquid on the edge of her weapons.

Sophie cocked back her arm and flung the needles at the nearest drones. The needles flew forward so quickly that a sonic boom could be heard in the air.

The drones in their path did not stand a chance.

The needles entered their metalloid bodies and sliced them neatly in half before continuing to travel forward.

Sophie grinned and tilted her head to the side just as a beam of plasma light narrowly brushed against the side of her cheek.

She felt a wetness on her skin and knew that she was bleeding slightly.

The safety mode was intentionally turned off since Sophie found it easier to enter her berserker state when she was in a life and death situation.

The hybrid girl activated her movement technique and her figure vanished from the spot before appearing right in the middle of the drones.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Rsychosis!

Sophie’s body blurred and then two dozen perfectly identical copies of herself appeared where she had just been standing.

Twenty-four clones in total.

Her understanding of the Rsychosis technique had increased by leaps and bounds since her time in the Unovan Syndicate.

“Hey… wait… why me?!” a clone yelled in frustration as Sophie grabbed her and flung her into the wave of incoming plasma fire.

The clone’s body was then riddled with holes as she absorbed most of the plasma rounds. Sophie winced as the memory of her death entered her mind.

The hybrid girl connected her mind to the mental network that linked herself and all of her clones before sending out a message.

(Attack all at once)

Sophie reached into her storage bag and pulled out an assortment of weapons which she quickly threw towards her mirror copies.

This fight was about to get interesting…

Forty minutes passed before the last drone fell to the ground with smoke leaking out of its metalloid exterior.

Sophie stood in the middle of the training field with blood covering her entire body.

Of course, this blood did not belong to her but rather it belonged to her poor mirror copies who were now all dead.

That was to be expected considering that she cranked up the difficulty settings as soon as the fight reached its crescendo.

The hybrid girl slowly walked towards the exit door and took out a towel from her storage bag to wipe her face.

The reason why she had decided to do some morning training was because she had woken up early and Cleo was still asleep.

Sophie’s wrist communicator buzzed twice, and she saw a message from her father appear on the screen.

Dad: [Hey honey… I just finished my meeting. Want to grab something to eat?]

Sophie: [Sure dad… actually I have something to tell you at breakfast… you aren’t going to believe this…]
