The time had finally come!

I, BongBong, would get training from the 'unofficial' leader of the Control Team!

...Well yeah, he was moved to Information today, I do wonder why he wasn't given that position.

But all of that pales in comparison to what I'm about to do today, Trigger's expertise with E.G.O is simply amazing and learning how to use it would be great!

We received a lot of information telling us to NOT get involved deeply with what was basically our equipment. I'm not sure why they would tell us that... although the amount of warnings and red letters telling us it was dangerous may have been exaggerated.

The door of my room opened, and I jumped from my bed with a bright smile on my face, while I waved cheerily at Trigger that... had a tired and bothered look on his face. I blinked when I saw that behind him was Rober with a displeased frown.

Trigger glanced at me and then back at Rober, "I get it, you have a lot to ask about on what happened, but mull over our talk first, you are acting too rash." I do remember Rober wanting to talk with Trigger in private... did it not go well?

I waved, getting their attention. Lacking an actual functional voice could be quite a bother, much more so since a doctor in the Backstreets left me like this. I should have known that someone capable of curing muteness at such a small price was crazy.

Rober sighed, "Alright... be careful, Trigger." Trigger frowned and jabbed a thumb at me.

"And you shouldn't make her worry, it's not as bad as you think." Trigger berated him, making Rober look in my direction and frown slightly.

"Sorry BB... I'm just worrying over nothing." My ears felt hot, but I managed to hid- ah Trigger is smiling cheekily.

"Alrighty Rober! Leave, I don't need you getting all bothered by seeing BB working out." Rober sputtered, just adding fuel to the fire... I'm not blushing at all!

Rober gritted his teeth and hid his face in embarrassment, making it worse, "I'm... YOU... god, I'm leaving!" NOOOO!!! Rober, you are just proving him right!!!

...

Oh, he is proving him right.

Trigger's smile was now directed at me, damn I must be blushing like an idiot. Rober left without another word, and Trigger clapped, getting my attention back on him.

I pouted angrily at him, and he chuckled at my feelings, "Hey calm down, let's put your romantic life aside and put this training session to good use." Why does he have to be such a tease!?

Pulling out a notepad and pen from my pockets, I stared at him and started writing at fast speeds, 'So where do we begin, Master?' He cringed suddenly and gave me a weird expression.

"Tutor, call me tutor." He replied evenly, and I shrugged while spinning my hand in a 'continue' motion.

He put a hand under his chin and started humming, "What do you feel when wearing E.G.O?" What do I feel? I'm... half sure that we have to make sure we ignore that stuff.

But it does feel like it's talking to me at times... to peck at people that do wrong? No, it's more like an impulse. I wrote my thoughts and showed them to him, he nodded once.

"So first step, you have to let those thoughts in... carefully. If they overwhelm you, I'll use One Bro's weapon to put your mind at ease. Once they are in without being a bother, you have to work with them instead of against them." He explained to me, to which I responded with a... questioning expression.

He quickly noticed this, "Yeah I know, goes against everything the company tells you, but that's how I did it." That... was stupidly dangerous from his part.

I started writing again, questioning what exactly he means by 'working with them'.

"Abnormalities are selfish creatures that only care about their point of view, so they will try to force you to play by their rules. Of course, you can outright ignore them like everyone else or find the middle ground, if you can work with their own thoughts without impairing yours, you get the full benefits of their abilities." He went in quite the long explanation, so... I have to do a battle of will with the E.G.O.

And I don't even have to win but find an understanding with it... sounds easier said than done!

I nodded at him and took a deep breath, we kinda just learn to keep the voices at bay since they aren't that big of a deal, so it can't be that-

"People have been committing sins since long ago. Why do they commit sins, knowing it's wrong?"

Wha- Well... I'm not sure?

"Is that so? Maybe they wouldn't if someone would take the role of punisher."

I guess a lack of consequences could be...

My mind suddenly blanked and relaxed. The voice was gone, and Trigger was giving the chest-plate of my E.G.O suit a funny look, "I could tell you went in with a hell of a lot more confidence than you should have." He said to me, and I scratched the back of my head in slight shame, so maybe I didn't take that seriously enough.

"How did it go for you, then?" He asked me, while I quickly wrote what I felt and... heard? Now that I think about it, that wasn't really much of a voice, but feelings I interpreted as voices.

He scratched the back of his head for a moment and then snapped his fingers, "You are seeing them as your enemy. If you do so, you face more opposition, this isn't a duel but a bargain, and you have to find fair grounds." That sounds... really dangerous.

Guess going in with the mentality that this was a fight wasn't the best idea...

Trigger smiled at me, "Hey, don't get disheartened. I'm just built weird, also I never really saw the Abnormalities in a bad light, so that may also be part of it." I never thought there could be someone that would look at Abnormalities and just threat them so... well, Is he like an Abnormality whisperer?

I got up and decided to try again... and about three other times after.

But at least I'm not being overwhelmed in seconds, so that's SOME progress!
