"Can I have another sandwich, Rohan," Zeke said picking his plate.
"Sure, Raju kaka(uncle) give two sandwiches to Zeke and Daman," Rohan said.
"What you will have? The sandwiches are good," Grant said to Greyson.
"I will have cornflakes," Greyson replied.
"Sure."
"I will get your warm milk and honey," Myles said standing up from the seat.
Zeke took the seat beside Greyson while the boys are standing at random places with their breakfast plates.
"When is our training today?" Rhett asked.
"When you are done with your breakfast, go upstairs and log in," Grant answered.
"Raju kaka, Greyson's milk and honey," Myles said.
"Just a minute."
"What are you having?" Myles asked Kayden.
"Bread omelette."
"Greyson let's play together, I want to play Lina's character," Zeke said.
Greyson nodded his head. Myles placed Greyson's milk bowl before him.
"Thank you."
"Where are my cornflakes?" Greyson asked.
"Brooks is having your cornflakes box," Grant said.
"Brooks," Greyson called.
Brooks turned his head and looked at where Greyson, Grant and Myles are.
"Yes?"
"Cornflakes box."
"Coming." Brooks picked the box and wandered over to where Greyson is.
Greyson took the box from Brooks. Brooks stood beside Myles.
"Do you guys know what happened last night?" Brooks said with a teasing tone.
Myles rolled his eyes looking at Brooks.
"What happened?" Grant asked looking at Brooks and Myles.
"Someone got killed six times a row," Brooks said.
"Six times? What's happening, Myles? Got killed six times," Grant said and laughed.
Greyson smiled looking at Myles. "Shut up, it was his lucky day," Myles said pointing his finger at Brooks.
"Everyone got their breakfast?" Rohan asked.
"Yes."
"Yeah."
"Yup."
Everyone replied positively, "if you guys want anything to eat or drink just ask before we close the kitchen. You have to cook yourself if you want anything later," Rohan said.
"Okay."
"You going somewhere?" Grant asked Rohan.
"Yes, going to meet a few friends. By the way, are you guys joining the backpacking hostel event?" Rohan asked looking at everyone.
"Only interested will be joining. We will call you when we reach the hostel," Brooks said.
"I will be there with Zeke, Rhett and Daman," Logan said.
"Just call me when you guys are coming. See you all in the evening," Rohan said before leaving.
"We going upstairs and log in," Daman said standing up.
One by one who is done with the breakfast left the room.
"Good morning," Rhett said when he saw Ace in the training area.
Ace turned his head to see everyone taking their seats.
"Morning."
"We will be playing Lina today," Zeke said standing beside Ace's chair.
"With?" Ace asked looking at the screen.
"Greyson."
"Done."
"What about you guys?" Ace asked turning in his seat and looking at Daman, Logan, Carl and Rhett.
"I will practice warlock," Logan said.
"Same," Rhett replied.
"I will practice Pudge," Carl said.
"I will practice Ursa," Daman replied.
"Okay, I will check your strategy and persistence," Ace said looking at them.
"Okay..."
"Nice..."
They all took their seats and turned on their computer's. It's been five months that they are living in the cottage with Ace.
Now they all became a family. To them, Ace is their big brother. They love him so much.
"Where is Brooks?" Ace asked Zeke.
"He is downstairs having his breakfast."
Zeke is looking at the screen where the report is.
Ace looked at Zeke, he slapped Zeke playfully.
"I'm just looking," Zeke said.
"Go to your computer and log in."
"Okay... Dokey..."
"Can we play a game together?" Zeke asked Ace.
"Sure, I need to check your speed too."
"It's a friendly game."
Ace raised his brow, "nothing is friendly in training, Zeke."
"Okay..." Zeke said going over to his computer.
Greyson, Brooks, Myles and Grant walked in. Went over to their computers.
"I'm playing a game with brother Ace, you play with someone," Zeke said to Greyson.
Greyson nodded his head, "let's have a game together. Myles and Brooks join the game," Grant said.
"Okay," Brooks said.
"Yup," Myles said.
Greyson's phone vibrated, he checked his message box to see texts from his sister.
'Dad is not agreeing to send me out. Talk to him.'
'send you where?' Greyson texted.
'to a party'
'I won't talk with dad, I can't help'
'I will kill you if you don't talk with dad'
"Greyson, log in yaar!" Grant yelled.
"Just a minute," Greyson said.
"Okay."
'what should I do? He wouldn't listen to me. Talk to mum and ask her for help'
'don't disturb me. I'm busy' Greyson texted and kept his phone on mute.
Greyson looked at Grant and Myles as they are laughing at something.
"Brooks, record your game," Ace said.
Brooks looked at Ace, "okay, brother Ace."
"Are we going to record our game?" Grant asked Greyson.
Greyson nodded his head positively. They need to record their game so that Ace can go through the recordings later.
"Carl, I'm gonna kick your ass. If you do that again," Logan said.
"What? I'm just using my power on you and you are losing your power. What should I do?" Carl said.
"It's a friendly game! We are practising," Logan said looking at Carl with a frown on his face.
"This is not a friendly game, practice has to be done seriously," Carl replied shrugging his shoulders.
"Training is not a friendly game, Logan. Be serious, I'm gonna check the reports," Ace said aloud.
Carl pushed his tongue out and teased Logan. Logan flipped his finger up looking at Carl.
"Brother Ace! Logan is showing me his middle finger!" Carl yelled.
"Logan, practice for extra two hours," Ace said.
Carl and everyone laughed. "Haha, nice," Myles said.
"Shut up," Logan replied.
"Greyson, your phone is ringing man," Grant said.
Greyson looked at the screen to see his sister's name.
"Ignore it."
"Aren't you going to answer the call?" Brooks asked.
"Nothing important."
They nodded their head and continued playing the game. Greyson turned the phone away.
"We cannot ignore calls from home," Logan said.
Ace turned his head and looked at where Greyson, Grant, Brooks and Myles sat.
"Answer the call," Ace said.
"It's not important," Greyson replied killing the enemy melees.
"Greyson..." Ace said in his dark tone.
Logan and Zeke looked at Greyson immediately. Greyson stopped playing and stood up from his chair picking his phone.
Ace didn't look at Greyson and continued playing with Zeke.
"Zeke concentrate," Ace said when Zeke stopped playing.
"Ha? Yeah... Yeah..."
Greyson stepped out of the training room and wandered over to the balcony.
He answered the call and pulled the phone away from his ear as his sister shouted.
"Calm down, talk to dad or mum. What could I do?" Greyson said calmly.
"What you could do? Talk to dad and tell him to allow me to go out. He listens to you, just tell him, Grey! I really want to go out with my friends."
Greyson closed his eyes, massaged his face with his hand.
"Fine... Fine... I will call dad and talk to him. Don't call me all the time," Greyson said.
"Okay, I won't call you later but I will call you to know if you spoke with dad or not."
"Fine, just give me some time."
Greyson ended the call and called his dad. He waited for some time so that his dad could answer the call.
When his dad answered the call, he spoke to him and convinced him to send his sister to the party she is asking for.
When he finally agreed, he called his sister and told her the news before going back to the training area.
He took his seat, looked at the screen to see Grant has killed his character and they are waiting for the next game.
"We didn't pause the game," Brooks said.
Greyson didn't say anything, he created a new room and shared the code with Grant, Brooks and Myles.
"Brother Ace! This is not fair, you cannot use your powers directly on me. Let me fight," Zeke said.
"I'm letting you fight and you are not fast," Ace replied.
Others laughed hearing that, "okay."
"Are you going to play Ursa character?" Brooks asked Greyson.
"Yes."
"I will select Venomancer then," Brooks said.
"What ya selecting?" Brooks asked Myles and Grant.
"Tiny," Myles said.
"Earthshaker," Grant replied.
"Cool."
"Brother Ace, I will join the room," Daman said.
"Ten minutes."
"Okay."
"Where is my sipper?" Daman asked Kayden.
"In the common room, I guess. Did you bring your sipper here?" Kayden said.
"Ssh... i***t your mic is on," Rhett replied.
"Sorry."
"Yes!" Zeke said in happiness as he cleared the front row.
"Good," Ace complimented clearing the last row and the middle row.
"Come to the base side, we need to clear the base," Ace said.
"Yes, brother Ace."
