About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, Orson, a member of the Unified Integration Movement, demonstrates his martial arts skills during a training exercise. He effortlessly subdues a large, muscular man who attacks him aggressively, illustrating the importance of adaptability and critical thinking in combat. Orson explains that the training will involve instruction from various experts, including those in Originium arts and moral education. After the demonstration, some trainees are put off by their defeat and begin to flee, fearing the danger presented by Orson and the sudden appearance of Scati, a deep-sea hunter allied with Rhodes Island. Scati unintentionally showcases her strength when the muscular man attempts to take her sword, sending him flying with her blow. This incident further intimidates the remaining trainees, leading to their hasty exit. Orson and Scati share a moment afterward, where Scati awkwardly apologizes, prompting Orson to initially react defensively, recalling a past awkward encounter. They then go for a stroll around the base of the Unified Integration Movement, which has an eclectic mix of military and residential areas. Orson excitedly describes the organization's plans for upcoming improvements, while Scati quietly enjoys the atmosphere. Their walk draws the attention of their colleagues, including Frost Nova and Talula, leaders of the Movement, who had been working elsewhere. Both leaders interrupt each other as they try to justify their uncharacteristic presence near Orson and the unfamiliar Scati. They witness Orson's growing reputation for attracting attention from women, causing jealousy and surprise among the leaders about his recent interactions, underscoring Orson's unexpected charm. The chapter concludes with a humorous note about the leaders' inability to understand Orson's uncanny luck with women while navigating a blend of camaraderie, tension, and the dynamic within the Unified Integration Movement.
