"Rion! Are you still using the satellites for sightseeing?"
In a big office, a woman was scolding a man who was lazily sitting on a chair in front of the computer.
The man was seeing the view of a mountain on the computer screen, but it wasn't normal. He wasn't using the public internet for it. He was actually using the government satellite for this.
This was a government facility where the government used the satellites to keep an eye on a few target locations of interest.
Unfortunately, there weren't many strict rules here.
"Come on, watching a military weapon facility for eight hours straight; I was getting bored. I'll get back to it soon," the man replied.
"Sigh, you always do this. You know, right? Using these things for personal use can get you in trouble. I've seen you many times, looking at houses, mountains, forests, etc. When will you learn?" The woman scolded the man again.
"Don't worry; this isn't personal use. This is the well-being of staff so that I can be more effective at work later on. So this is technically professional use. Moreover, I don't use it for these things for more than ten minutes in a day," the man replied.
"Come on, give me some leeway. It's not like someone is going to rob the weapon facility in ten minutes. There are other security measures there as well," he continued.
"Fine. Just don't come crying when someone finds out," the lady replied before she turned back and left.
The man got back to sightseeing through his computer, unaware that his hobbies were going to become a mess for a lot of people.

"I want to go to Orion Beach," Lucifer told Vega his desires.
"Orion Beach? Why? What's there?" Vega asked, curious.
"I want to fulfill the last wish of my parents. They wanted me to see that place, and I'll see that place," Lucifer answered.
"But Lucifer, try to understand. We can't go there right now. After what just happened, the whole country will be under strict watch."
"Your life will be in danger if you leave now. How about you wait for a few weeks? I promise I'll take you there personally after four weeks. How about that?" Vega asked, expressing concerns.
"We're only worried about you. Please only listen to me this once," he insisted.
Lucifer looked at the pleading Vega, not knowing what to say. He wanted to go there, but he didn't mean it right now. It wasn't this urgent. Vega misunderstood him.
He was just telling Vega his desires so he could arrange for Lucifer to be taken there in the helicopter later.
"Four weeks is too much. I can't sit idle for that long. Make it two weeks," Lucifer said.
"I can't decrease the time. Four weeks is the least we should be careful for. But don't worry, you won't sit idle. You'll be training here," Vega answered while refusing Lucifer's offer. "For four weeks."
"Training?" Lucifer inquired. "What training?"
"Alright. Listen. We all know that you have strength. But sometimes there comes a situation when we need to fight without strength."
"Maybe we're in a situation where we can't expose our identity, and we still need to fight or anything else, but a person can't always depend on their strength."
Vega started expressing his views as he stood up. "I believe you should take that training too. It would be best if you became a Warlock that can kill without using any abilities. You need to be able to defend yourself without strength."
"Are you understanding what I'm trying to say?" He asked. "For the next four weeks, we will train you in all forms of fighting, including the art of Sword. I know four weeks is too little for all this, but the training will be continued after you return from the beach? How's that?"
'Fight training?' Lucifer thought as he frowned. 'Do I need something like that?'
He gazed at his hand, wondering if he needed it. He wanted to learn to scheme. As for fighting without strength, that wasn't much useful for him. But still, it wasn't bad either since it could come in handy in the future.
"Lucifer, don't worry. We aren't forcing you. We'll only go through this if you accept it out of your own free will. If you say no, we'll drop this plan. And don't worry, that doesn't affect anything. We'll still take you to the beach after four weeks," Vega told Lucifer with a genuine sounding tone.
Raia had told him that Lucifer shouldn't feel uncomfortable from it. Vega was making it a welcoming offer where Lucifer had the choice to select.
Lucifer kept thinking for quite some time before he finally agreed. "I accept. I'll train."
"That's good. These two will be your teachers for the next few weeks," Vega said, grinning as he pointed towards Yaliza and Kellian. "The others will also contribute a bit to your training occasionally. I'm sure you'll have fun."
Kellian stood up and stepped closer to Lucifer before he reached out his hand.
"We weren't here to welcome you last time. But I'm glad we'll get to spend a lot of time together in the future. Welcome to the team," he said calmly.
Lucifer looked at his hands once again to make sure he was wearing the gloves before he also reached out his hand, finally shaking a person's hand.
"I'm back with food," Draco's voice entered the room mixed with the sound of the knocking.
"Alright, Lucifer. Enjoy your feast. We'll be leaving now. Training will begin from tomorrow," Kellian said as he left, opening the door.
"Welcome to the team, Little Guy," Yaliza also greeted Lucifer before he also left after Kellian.
"Best of luck for the training," Vega said before he also left.
Draco placed the food on the table before Lucifer, who started eating.
"Draco," Lucifer said as he ate.
"Yes, Sir Lucifer?" Draco asked.
"Tell me about Yaliza and Kellian. What kind of people they are. And are they good in battle?" Lucifer asked Draco.
