Despite making her own guesses on what type of ability Kate might have gotten, Lina did not hesitate to give Kate the snacks that she wanted. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

These snacks, she had been having them for quite a while, as she never really ate them this entire time.

She did not like the taste of these snacks that they were given, so, she always kept them inside her bedside cabinet.

As for Kate, most of the times, she usually kept hers as well. But at other times, when she felt almost completely drained of energy, she had no choice but to eat those snacks.

So, the number of snacks that Lina had was almost double the ones that Kate had eaten.

As Kate ate the snacks, Lina just sat on the side, observing her.

Kate on the other hand did not mind the gaze that she was receiving from Lina, as she just concentrated on filling her empty stomach.

After she finished eating all the snacks that Lina had been saving up, Kate finally felt that she was no longer hungry. But of course, she was not satiated as well.

From the looks of it, she would have to eat at least the same amount of snacks that she had eaten from Lina’s bedside cabinet, in order to be full.

As she finally sat down on the floor, she made sure to remind herself not to be reckless again. Of course, while the ability was powerful, there was bound to be a price to be paid.

In this case, while the ability could allow her body to be able to grow stronger in order to adapt to the strain that it was experiencing, energy was required. And of course, the source of energy had to be provided by her.

Therefore, she made a mental note, to make sure that before exercising, she ate until she was stuffed. Thereafter, she should also prepare more food, so that the moment that she was done with the training, she would be able to once again fill her stomach.

"Okay, I’m quite curious, what kind of ability did you unlock? The way that you have been acting, it is making me feel a little curious about this ability of yours.

From what I have observed, it seems that the ability that you have awakened allows you to be able to grow stronger over time.

But at the same time, there is a huge requirement of energy, which is definitely the source of the strength that you gain." Lina finally asked the question that had been bothering her, upon seeing that Kate had finally settled down.

Kate instinctively wanted to respond, but she suddenly thought of something. This ability, it was definitely something that Michael had made arrangements for her to be able to get.

As for how he was able to do it, and how precisely, despite randomly selecting a chair to sit on, she had been injected with the serum that allowed her to be able to gain this ability, she understood that she had to keep it a secret.

While some people might not care, it was impossible that there was nobody that really cared about it. So, Kate had no any intention of mentioning Michael, in relation to the ability that she had gotten.

Additionally, from what she had tried, she had already realized that this ability was extremely powerful. At the moment, she did not really want too much attention.

Therefore, she thought, it would be much better if she did not fully reveal the ability that she had. It would be much safe to hide some aspects of the ability that she had, to make sure that she could not be easily countered.

This of course mainly depended on if Nexus had the ability of fully detecting the type of ability that someone had awakened.

If they did not have a method of detecting the ability, then she would be able to keep a secret on part of her ability.

But if they did, and they questioned her about why she revealed just part of the ability, she could simply say that this was what she understood about the ability, and that was what she revealed.

All these thoughts occurred in Kate’s mind for quite a short time. But from Lina’s perspective, Kate’s silence seemed to be hesitation to reveal the ability.

But she did not mind, as before Kate could say anything, Lina said, "The ability that I awakened, it is one that can allow me to be able to cast illusions.

I can make someone do something that I want them to do, while they believe that they are doing something else, or I can make them think that they have done something, yet they might not have done it."

Kate was momentarily startled when Lina revealed her ability. It took her a moment to understand why Lina did that. It seemed that she had misunderstood her.

So, to avoid any further misunderstanding, Kate quickly said, "That is amazing! As for my ability, it is the type that allows me to be able to grow stronger by training.

As long as I keep on training, I can continuously get stronger. It is just that I don’t know what is the limit that I can reach through training."

Of course, the ability that she had was not limited to the physical aspects. The other aspects could also be improved, depending on the situation that she was facing.

But there was no need to reveal that, as what she had said was basically almost the same function of the ability. While the ability allowed her to adapt, it was not that much different from allowing her to grow stronger by training.

"Impressive! It is no wonder that the moment that you got here, you immediately began working out. It turns out that you were testing out this ability.

But from what I have observed, it seems that you will need to prepare a sufficient amount of food. But that can be a little problematic in some situations, where you cannot carry huge luggage.

Or in some situations, the food might go bad, without good storage. So, what do you think about getting some energy bars?

I’m not talking about these ordinary energy bars that you can find out there, these are special. I had to use some special connection in order to be able to get them." Lina responded.

Kate was not that much surprised that Lina was able to figure out part of her ability. But she was left surprised that Lina could access some energy bars.

From the way that she was speaking, it was clear that it was not the type of energy bars that were made from a mixture of oats, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit.

It was possibly something that had been created recently, most likely related to the appearance of the mutants.

"Are you sure that it is not something that can end up bringing some kind of side effects in the long run? If it is something that has not been tested out for a long time, I would rather not eat that." Kate asked skeptically.

She did not ask how Lina was able to get those special connections, as this might be related to how she had been able to hide a phone in a hidden compartment in the washroom.

But even then, she was quite concerned about this energy bar that she was talking about. If it turned out to be something that had just been recently developed, it could have some hidden issues that even Lina might not know about.

"Hey, you can trust me. What? You think that I am the type that will just get anything that I have only heard about? Let me tell you, I’m fully informed about this type of energy bar, and it is kind of special.

And I can tell you one thing, not many people know about its existence, because it is limited in number. Not just anyone can access it, I had to use quite a few other means in order to be able to get a few energy bars." Lina immediately retorted.

Kate could not help but raise her brows slightly, feeling amused. She felt that Lina was just trying to make it seem as though she had gone through a lot of difficulty in order to be able to obtain those energy bars.

Regardless, during the interaction between the two of them, ever since they joined the training camp together, Kate had never felt that Lina was malicious towards her.

The two of them came to the training camp together, and they hit it off from the start. Therefore, it was not as though it was Lina who had approached her first, instead, Kate was also supportive of developing a friendship between the two of them.

Still, she had her own reservations, and did not blindly trust Lina. Otherwise, if something went wrong, who would she blame?

"Alright, I get it. Anyway, do you have them here? I would like to see them first, just to be sure." Kate eventually shook her head as she asked.

"Of course not. I told you, it is not that easy to be able to procure those energy bars. So, you will have to wait for quite a while, before you get them." Lina shook her head as she responded.

Kate found that to be reasonable, so, she decided to change the topic.

"What branch do you intend to join? With the ability that you have, it seems that you can join any of the three branches?" Kate asked curiously.
