The Author's POV

"Hmmm..."

Sitting crossed-legged on the ground of my room, I thought back at Donna's proposal.

'We've already asked Kevin for help, and we just need someone else to help us enroll at the Lock as an assistant professor for just a couple of months.'

If I had to be honest, that was not a bad proposal.

Not only would I be granted access to the cube, which was the Lock's special vault filled with skills and manuals, but I could also use the chance to recruit some talented people to my group.

Furthermore, since the Monolith and the Union were still under a treaty, this was the perfect chance for me to consolidate my powers within the human domain.

Not only that, but the Lock did have some of the best training facilities, so that was another plus.

"Alright..."

Standing up from the ground, I stretched my body.

"Donna said that we can start as early as by next week, so I should use this chance to break through rank."

Touching my face, I shook my head.

'I really need to break through.'

I couldn't stand the thought of still not having hair on my face.
