Soka listened quietly while Hayato and the scientist talked for a few minutes. In the meantime, he looked around at the trees, plants and the nearby surrounding. He was still in awe of this new world and had so many questions.

When it was time to go back to the Academy, he nodded to the others as they went to the telepad. When no one was looking, he picked up a small tree branch that was on the ground. He placed the twig in his pocket and walked toward the telepad.

It had been an exciting first mission and he had learned a lot. Now he needed to focus on increasing his battle skills and maybe gaining a few allies.

While the telepad glowed with green energy, a look of determination and resolve focused on Soka's face. He thought about his goals for the rest of the week.
