**Chapter 188: Leaders Generosity? (2)**
Everyone was excited to increase their stats, and they even got a little distracted from their earlier question. But the idea of getting stronger so quickly was equally exciting to them, so for now, they wanted to focus on this as their leader had put his trust in them.
So, they were not going to waste any time for now and just quickly wanted to be ready for the next hunt as soon as possible, knowing he was waiting for them to get ready. But this didn't mean they had forgotten about their earlier question.
Because for something as important as this, they didn't think they could even forget it, even if they wanted to. So, for now, they focused on the task ahead as they had made up their minds to ask everything they wanted to ask their vice leader after their shift ended. This would also give them more freedom to ask her.
Thinking of it this way, it seemed much better to ask her afterward about the secrets she was hiding behind her strict demeanor. They remembered their vice leader had never accompanied them when they watched their favorite romance drama together, so they assumed she didn't have much interest in things such as romance, which fit quite well with her personality.
However, after this most unexpected and wildest surprise their vice leader had given them, they couldn't help but be awestruck by her charm.
'I didn't know the vice leader had so much natural rizz that she didn't even need those dramas to watch.'
She had become almost a revered figure in their minds now. While she was a good vice leader, which they appreciated, they had never felt this way about her. She was almost like a rare creature among the common folks.
Ava could see everyone had kept their hands down after her speech about the things that were going to happen before the next hunt for preparation. She was a little pleased, knowing these guys understood when it was not the right time for certain things.
However, seeing the little disappointment in their eyes irritated her, as she knew these guys were aware that she liked teaching things to others. But that didn't mean she was going to give them tips on how to woo her own husband.
'These bitches must be dreaming.'
'Even if I knew something, I wouldn't tell a single soul about it other than my sister Isla.'
Ava now focused on the pouch in front of her, which had more than 550 red cores inside. For now, she had decided to give each one of them about 50 cores to use.
After that, she would see how they would proceed.
She knew some of them might not even need 50 cores to max out their stats, like her sister Isla, whom she was sure wouldn't need all 50. Some of them, however, might even need a little more than that, like herself, as she was sure 50 cores were definitely not enough to max out her three stats. This was why she decided to give 50 each and see how it went afterward.
She ordered them to form a straight line to proceed with the distribution.
Seeing the excitement on their faces as they lined up, she even felt quite excited herself, as one of her most important weaknesses would be gone today. She felt quite emotional as well, knowing she had endured all these years with her poor physical capabilities.
She wouldn't lie or say it was easy for her, as enduring all those training sessions every day, which everyone else did like a routine, was like a new day of hellish torture for her. Even while doing all this, she didn't see much improvement.
After finding out from the medical team that her body was naturally weaker than others, and that even with training there was no hope of getting as strong as the others, she felt quite a hard blow.
Becoming as strong as others was never an option for her.
She was lucky to have even been able to join the military, and she was even more grateful to the general, who hadn't said anything to her even after she got the news. If the general had kicked her out of the team, she wouldn't have had much to say in return.
She trained every day with others while focusing on her strategies much more than actual combat, knowing she had no hopes of competing. She didn't even shy away from spars, even while her opponents offered her the option to back out at first, knowing the general hadn't said anything to her.
She felt quite thankful for this, but after a while, no one said anything as it had become usual for her. Even her teammates were used to beating her every single time. She was thankful that no one went easy on her.
She was sure this was due to the general, as if she had seen anyone go easy during sparring, and she would probably have invited them to spar with her directly.
Thinking about all these tough memories now, she felt quite heartwarming emotions. She knew today was going to be the day she became equally strong as everyone present here, including her own genius sister.
Ava couldn't express how happy she was.
Even though she knew that, even after maxing out her stats, she probably wouldn't be able to beat her own younger sister, knowing she would be an opponent whom everyone had to be careful against was enough for her for now.
One by one, they took their cores and then returned to their positions. They had also noticed the emotional expression on their vice leader's face while receiving the cores.
They could see the happiness in her eyes and the clear emotion on her face. No one said anything to her, but they were all happy to know that the vice leader didn't have to suffer so much anymore. They were also excited that their next sparring session wouldn't be so hopeless for her.
Even Isla had seen her sister's face. From her expression, Isla could tell that if she said some comforting words or even just given her a hug, Ava would have likely cried by now. However, she left her as she was, not wanting to see her sister cry, knowing she would likely start crying herself if she did.
'I don't want to embarrass myself in front of Aiden.'
This was also one of the little reasons Isla didn't say anything to her sister. But even if that hadn't been the case, Isla wouldn't have said anything to her. She knew her sister had endured all these years without crying a single time, and she wanted to keep it that way.

'I will still beat you even if you are as strong as me.'
This was something even more important to Isla than her title of elder sister. Fighting was the thing she was most proud of and considered a part of her life, so this was not something she could give up on.
This was the reason Alicia annoyed her so much, as she constantly thought about surpassing her. As for Aiden, she liked him more when he was stronger than her; it made her even more attracted to him.
She also knew she didn't have the ability to compete properly with Alicia now, so thinking about even matching him was like a dream for the time being.
