Wearing a black training outfit, Athena, holding two training sticks in her forehand, stood on the street on the edge of the beach and waited for Ivan.

Seeing his physical training instructor, Yifan was not as shy as he was at the beginning, but waved at her as usual.

After all, the only person who can be'immune' to Athena's appearance, or even not interested at all, should be Ivan his father William.

And the smiling Athena walked slowly towards Ivan, leaving the concrete street to the beach.

She flicked her hand, threw a long stick forward, and raised her voice: "Next."

"Da~"

As soon as Ivan raised his hand, he caught this tough training stick.

Then she looked at Athena who had approached, she still didn't have any facial expressions, but her tone was a little helpless:

"Teacher, the morning training is over, it's time for me to rest."

"Talk about it." Athena knocked Ivan on the top of the head with a long stick, and asked with a light left eyebrow:

"Ivan, with your physique, running fifty laps around the island shouldn't tire you."

Then walked towards the center of the beach and shook his hand and said, "Come on."

"Hey..." Ivan sighed, holding the long stick and following Athena.

indeed.

Ivan, who inherited William's physical fitness, is handy for running or sprinting.

So now he can easily reach 300kmh, and can maintain at least four hours.

It's okay to reach the speed limit similar to his father's, but the maintenance time is too short and it is still too young after all.

Moreover, Ivan has also learned through some'small experiments' that he also possesses a super self-healing function, but Ivan is still afraid to try his own limits for the time being.

"Huh."

Athena took off her army boots and socks and stepped barefoot on the gradually hot sand.

Turn around, hold the long stick in both hands, make a classical preparation posture, and smile at Ivan: "Come on."

Ivan just shook his head, also taking off his socks and army boots.

Holding the stick in his right hand and the left hand in front, he made a posture similar to a horse stance and deliberately showed weakness: "Teacher, you have to let me, after all, I'm only...

Four years old.!"

"Shoo-!" The sound of breaking through the air.

"Hey--!" The clear sound of two long sticks colliding.

Ivan quickly rushed out while talking, swiping the long stick vigorously with his right hand, hitting Athena with an afterimage that was hard to catch with the naked eye.

!

Athena obviously hadn't expected that Ivan would use some...indiscriminate tricks to preemptively.

But no matter what, she was still a'God of War', and immediately raised her long stick to resist Ivan's attack.

The two struggled with each other.

Only in terms of power, Athena has the upper hand directly.

She put her face close to Ivan, who was slightly shorter, and said: "Hey, kid, are you a bit shameless like this?"

The blue veins in Ivan's temple wrinkled and gritted his teeth: "Father said that no matter what tricks are used, as long as he can win, it is a good trick!"

Talking.

Ivan changed his head-on moves, but suddenly took a step to the left, unloading Athena's great strength.

"Boom-~!" Athena's long stick directly hit the beach, splashing half-meter-high sand.

After Ivan did two rolls, he kept a distance from Athena, holding the long stick in both hands and posing for a defensive posture.

"Huh...ha..." and gasped and said: "Hey... Teacher, I remember my father once said... Let you and the colonel take care of me, right..."

"Little kid, every time there is reason!"

At this time, Athena did not look like a goddess at all, and even seemed a little annoyed because Ivan'played' her twice in a row.

Apart from anything else, Athena wanted to swing forward again.

"Om-!"

"Ahem!"

The sudden noise of the hydrogen engine and a soft cough interrupted Athena who was about to teach Ivan.

I saw that five Warthogs had just arrived at the beach near the two of them, and Kent, wearing a school-level uniform, left the Warthogs and walked to Athena's side.

Frowning slightly, the tone is also extremely serious: "Athena, although you are a god, don't forget your identity."

"Colonel, I actually asked the teacher to do my best." Before Athena could answer, Ivan stepped forward to explain.

After seeing a group of Warthogs wearing biochemical armor and AAESⅢ USS and UBCS, he turned off the topic and asked:

"Colonel, did something happen?"

Hearing that, Kent no longer entangled in the scene just now, but nodded and said solemnly: "Yes.

A certain kind of giant carnivorous animal was found near Lake Tana in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia.

The agents hiding nearby have implemented blockade procedures and called for the support of the containment forces.

So I need to personally lead the team to the Kenya base to command this containment operation."

"Oh?"

Ivan put the long stick on his side and made the same habitual movements with his left hand...

He held his chin and analyzed, "Should not supporting agents be the responsibility of the containment fleet?

(Looking to Kent) Could it be my father who ordered it?"

"That's right." Kent nodded lightly, turned to the Warthog and explained:

"The boss said that I should be responsible for directing the containment operation. The main purpose is to let you observe and learn."

"It turned out to be so." Ivan said suddenly.

Kent boarded the co-pilot of the lead car and said to Ivan and Athena: "Time is not rich anymore, get in the car and get ready to go."

"Good." (x2)

The two masters and apprentices responded together, and then boarded the back seat of another Warthog.

"Om-!"

With the roar of the hydrogen engine, the convoy quickly drove out of the beach to the street and headed to the base complex on the west coast.

While driving, Ivan deliberately approached Athena's ear and whispered:

"Teacher, pay attention to controlling your temper in the future, otherwise it won't match your image of a goddess."

!

Athena immediately pinched Ivan's thigh calmly, but her voice was extremely gentle and said, "How could I be angry? I'm a goddess, right?"

Feeling the pain of acupuncture, Ivan quickly changed his words: "Yes...Yes..."

———————

After half an hour.

Inside the command center of the Kenya base.

The command center is still the previous configuration, with a large number of display screens and technicians, and a center console with various functions in the center.

Standing next to the center console is Kent, and Ivan, who has changed into a tailor-made military uniform.

The 3D imaging on the center console shows the three thousand square kilometers of Lake Tana.

Lake Tana is surrounded by dense forests and swamps, and a red circle and question mark are drawn on the east bank of the lake, indicating that there is an anomaly that is about to be contained.

As for the periphery of the red circle, the troops on the side marked with blue arrows are mostly secret agents and UNSC troops who have come to assist in the blockade.

At the same time, a unit marked with a green arrow was quickly heading to the blocked area.

This force is led by Cortana, and wearing PIA (power penetration) armored Spartans, there are a large number of USS and UBCS.
