Flashback
My training session with Goat was kind of hilarious, inside his quarter was another room, a walk through the red door inside his room led to the room which was meant for our training session. The room possessed more length than width. Inside the room were different kinds of gadgets which we use for training, but the most used gadget inside the room was immediately at the entrance of the room.
A stroll into the room, by the left hand side was a mirror attached to the wall and a quick glance down the mirror was a make up kits. Different types of make up equipments which I was sure belong to girls.
ā according to mask law, your look matters in every mission even when it involve assassination ā he had said to me the first day I entered into the room as I was surprised at the length of the room and different gadgets inside it.
ā Iām going to train your mental reflex, your physical abilities , get you through to tutors whoāre going to teach you all subjects and most importantly, Iām going to make sure you look like a merman, youāre very handsome , so Iām not going to find it difficult to transform you ino someone girls will queue and give their all to have ā he said to me while I stared at him with a blank expression trying hard to digest and find meaning to all he was uttering.
ā do you have any question ? ā he asked me when he noticed I was lost.
ā ye, I meant no ā I stuttered shaking my head.
āOkay, if you say so ā he replied me giving me odd look. ā weāre going to be having pur training here everyday and the first thing you must do whenever youāre here is to first take care of your look, and after every session, you should also make sure you take care of your look when weāre through with training, nothing, not even a pimples must appear on your face and make sure you cram the combinations of cosmetic Iām going to apply right now, thatās for the start of our training session and when weāre through, also make sure you do well to remember the ones Iām going to apply. Itās very important and youāll know the effect in future ā he said as he sat on the small stool placed in front of the make up kit.
He started picking some creams, applied like four different types on his Palm before he applied it on his face. I paid attention to all heās doing. The ones he applied to his hand were different same as the ones he also applied to his legs. To be sure I was giving him my attention, he asked me to repeat what he did which I got perfectly and he didnāt fail to accolade me for it.
TWO YEARS LATER
My biceps was already something to be proud of, my chest got broadened in a sexy manner and my stomach has already been segmented into six sexy part. Like Goat promised me, I had become a merman and Goat never cease to tease me of my look that soon when Iām out on the field , Iām going to have tons of girls begging for my attention. But what use is it when the person I want to notice doesnāt even act like I existed.
He trained me hard , tho in a cool manner which I enjoyed so much. He always tries to push me to the extreme but he always do this in a manner which I canāt explain. Even in my study, heās always there for me , after every lecture with my teachers in charge of each subjects, he always sit me down to make sure I understand it very well.
He said he want me to be the greatest agent the mask has ever produce but I wasnāt sure if that was going to be possible because of Precious. She now spend most of her time with Miss bull eye. Even when sheās inside the room , she barely talk to me, itās either sheās sleeping or sheās training hard. Sheās become more beautiful and dreadful as her hair is always plaited into pony tail. Her shape was becoming more like Miss bull eye own and sheās equally possessing her trait. I was sure that with Precious in the mask , i can never become the best, but I wasnāt bother by this as I also aimed for becoming the second best and the perfect guy for her.
My martial art skill had increased greatly and my swiftness has become something to write home about. But something funny was occurring to my face and I was bewildered of this. Instead of my face to look mature, it was getting babyish, there was no different with my face of ten years old then and fifteen years now. The only difference was that ,Iāve looked more handsome , no, itās extremely handsome.
ā Precious ā I called my roommate , tapping her on her shoulder as she slept soundly. Itās been almost ten days since I last saw her. I havenāt slept when she entered , but I couldnāt tell her anything because she looked tired. She only ā hi ā me before she resigned to her bed, removed her mask and slept off. I allowed her to sleep for four hours staring at the beauty sheās grown to become. Sheās now more mature as she doesnāt complain like she always do before.
The light was even on when she woke up and she didnāt complain about it. She rubbedd her eye wearily as she opened her eye. ā Ben ā she called my name as she stared at me.
āHowāre you ? ā I greeted her smiling.
ā Iām fine, hope everythingās alright ā she asked me as she changed to a sitting position. She took her mask which was laying on the bed carelessly, and worn it only to cover her hair.
ā yeah, everythingās okay ā I replied her with a grin
ā good, do you have something to tell me ā she asked me with a kind of weird tone. A tone that made it seems like we never shared anything together before, like I was some sort of stranger. I felt bad with this but hid it.
ā yeah , I do, Iāve been thinking that youāve change ā
ā how .ā she asked interrupting me.
ā ever since weāve been assigned to our mentors, you rarely talk to me, you made me feel like a stranger , youāre not always around and even when youāre around , you seemed to be far away ā I told her pointblank expecting her reply.
ā is that all ā she asked blankly and I felt heat surged beneath me. ā Iāve got a lot to do in a short period of time and I really need to rest now ā she added as she made attempt to sleep back. I couldnāt tell how I was feeling after hearing that from her.
She seemed different from the real Precious, no , my Precious has been swapped and a clone of her was replaced with her.
ā did I do something wrongā I asked her with a sad countenance as she feigned to sleep off.
ā yes ā she replied opening her eye.
ā whatās that ā I asked and she stood up. Sheās putting on a black leggings and a red arm less top. Just like Miss bull eye. I knew sheās getting her cloths from Miss bull eye as Iām also getting mine from Goat.
ā care for a duel ā she asked me as she got up.
ā yeah ā I replied her facing her. Her face became more dreadful as she made a kungfu pose and I folded my hand into a fist. Sheās the first to attack me , sheās more flexible, faster and stronger than I was. I tried to guide her attacks as she attacked me relentlessly, when I got a chance , I also swiftly launched some attacks towards her which she dodged only by swerving to left or right, depending on where the attack is coming from. I seemed to be the one with the upper hand as I displayed many skills to bring her down , and she looked to got worn out.
After twenty minutes of fighting she suddenly stopped and asked me a question which got me perplexed.
ā do you still have any skill left because you seem to be out of it, or should I keep on playing with you ā she asked me and I stared at her shocked. She removed the mask on her head and dropped it on the bed , letting her hair which was neatly braided into a pony tail to fall freely behind her. She steadied herself as she made another pose , stretching her hand towards me , motioning to me to bring it on.
