When Lily suggested the deal to Nate, the others already know that though she might have said those with the concern of helping Nate out, but deep down, Nate know there is another alternative reason for the deal and that was for him to teach them how to either make use of the beast crystal or he can train those that have suddenly awaken their power such as V and Ron, hopefully, more will come and they will be able to grow in strength and knowledge of what they are.
Nate could have said no to this though, he could have refused to give them any information besides, he know his knowledge about beast crystal and meteorite stones are limited but he still decided to share his knowledge.
Regardless, he also wants to know if someone ordinary can be turned into a superhuman without the help of nature and that is why he had everyone that has been participating in the beast wave fight so far lined up in rows and columns.
They were all sitting cross-leg with a crystal in their hands, beast crystal to be precise. It has barely been a day after the beast wave attack and everything transpiring in the base has returned to normal. Meanwhile, Nate has taken it up to himself to instruct the people that have been selected by Lily as those that have been fighting under the rain and Nate at this moment was teaching them how to absorb beast crystal.
"Focus, we don't have much time to be distracted by the outside world, make sure you focus on the energy coming out from the crystal," He instructed while standing in front of the people sitting like monks, sweat could be seen running down their faces while their eye was tightly closed and Nate was standing in front of them and was overseeing all that is happening and when anyone tried to open their eye, Nate will suddenly appear before he or her, frightening them to the core and they will quickly close their eyes.
Among this cloud of people its number was over five hundred, Tony, V, Ron and Shad were sitting in the back row of the line. Although V and Ron have awakened their power, the two know that it was not close to Nate and the rest of his horde, even Dike might even be stronger than them and they dare not to miss such an oration organized by Nate himself.
"Shit, this was harder than I thought..." Tony muttered to Shad who was trying so hard to ignore him.
"I can hear you right from here so you better shot up your mouth and let others focus!" Nate's voice came from the front and was been directed at Tony.
'He always knows when I'm talking, just what power does he have exactly, ' Tony thought secretly.
This has always been V's and the other's questions, they were always wondering what power Nate has. Surely, he haven't done something that seems supernatural except from fighting a creature three times his size but anyone with enough courage can do that, but for some reason, the people that they have seen fighting with superpowers were following him and takes him as their leader and that alone was enough to make them not to underestimate him despite his size and age as a teenager.
Just then, footsteps could be heard coming from his back and when turning, Nate wasn't much surprised to see Mark walking towards him.
After striking the deal with Lily, one of the first things he did was to contact the two people he stationed at the mothership.
Before leaving the mothership, Nate has to do a few arrangements for those that will follow him out and those that will stay. Surprisingly, Jim and Mark decided to stay in the mothership for the time being. Mark has been busy working on his project while carrying multiple experiments at the same time while Jim was busy crafting more weapons from the beast crystal that was shared after Mark discovered another alternative way to power the mothership.
He was also using the strange blade legs of the spider Nate killed while they were in hibernation mode multiple weapons with different power has been created and now they are being invited to the base to continue with the meteorite stones here.
"I think they have reached their limit for the day, after all this has been going on since sunrise and now it was already sunset," Mark said on seeing the condition of those training.
"Fine... Class is over for today and you better get a good sleep because we will continue like this tomorrow," Nate said as he then turned to Mark.
Meanwhile, on hearing that it was all over, they all fall back to the ground in exhaustion as some instantly slept off. Meanwhile, V and Ron were huffing heavily while Shad and Tony were among those that slept off. V looked at Nate and Mark why wondering to himself. "I need to as him why, why are they not breathing like the others," V thought as he watch Nate and Mark walked off.
"Hey, will you help me get these two inside or are you going to look around like a... Whatever," Ron called out for V to help him out in carrying Tony and Shad inside.
V went to help him out, but looked at Nate and thought. 'I don't need to jump to a conclusion yet, I need to confront him first,' he thought.

Meanwhile, Nate and Mark walked off to an isolated area that was not that dark since they were a dim light bulb that was placed at every corner of the base.
Using his sense to check if they were someone around, Mark and Nate later found out no one was currently in the location and Nate faced Mark.
"You didn't call just to hang around, what do you want to report that you couldn't do with the telecommunication," Nate asked.
"It's about V, I've got some time to look into his power and they have something to do with extensive vitamins that nutritional grant his body superpower, that's why he has great eyesight that could keep up with ours and his other sense has increased dramatically," Mark said showing a worrying face which somehow left Nate confused.
"Is there a problem with that, is it something we should worry about?" Nate browns forward since he couldn't understand what was this all means.
"It means his hearing has somehow reached our level and with this, I'm sure you already know where the problem is here," Mark said.
Nate started putting things together and it didn't take time for him to figure out what Mark was worried about.
"If his eyesight is as good as ours, his sense of smell is on the same level as us, then his hearing will be the same which means in no time, he will know that our heart does not beat," Nate muttered out as he started thinking of a way to get out of this problem as soon as possible.
However, someone suddenly appeared behind his back. "We don't have to fight, I just need answers and that's all," V said with his spear in his hand as it glows.
