While the soldiers were falling back, most of the protesters managed to escape to some degree. As some were eventually chased down. But not before a video was sent that became the hope of the oppressed. It was soon spread like wildfire that not even Faust or Gilius would have expected.

  “Hoooo…that was scary!!” Faust said as he found a corner of a place to rest within the city. He didn’t think that he was able to enter the city with so many diviners. Fortunately, how he got out of the city was how he got in. “Using the light ability to help create invisibility. After some time, I was finally able to do it.” He said to Fausto as he was changing his attire. With his Menace outfit, he changed and burned the clothes as he put on the doctor’s uniform.

  “To think you were using that on this occasion. I didn’t think you would not only enter the battlefield going invisible but also walk through all the soldiers.” During the entire time tanks and helicopters were destroying people, he was walking through the gate with the soldiers who were trying to massacre the people. He even walked past Gilius and Joseph to test his skills. Using his abilities perfectly while keeping the camouflage on was difficult but he had some help with Fausto giving him pointers. It was a work of perfection as he also managed to escape while being surrounded by Diviners.

  “Well, I say the mission is complete. I injured Joseph and was able to test my gun skills. It seems like I am getting good at this martial art thing.”

  “Agreed and I got some benefits as well,” Fausto said as he was awaiting the dead bodies that were going to show up at the hospital.

  “Seems you are in lively spirits. It has been a while since we were able to kill this many.” Faust said since even though Fausto didn’t prefer to kill, he needed dead bodies. As it would be known later but for now Fausto just prefers dead bodies for one reason or another.

  “True…. anyways, time to head back to the hospital. We need to look over the two.” Reminding Faust, Fausto was urgently wanting Faust to return as he was worried that without his careful watch, the two would be caught. It seemed like Fausto was getting really stressed about his two new students.

  “Yes yes, I know. Jeez, you are more annoying the other two. Can’t wait to go back and see you harem… Then again..” Faust said with a bright smile. Faust recalled he had met Karma yesterday as he had accidentally taken off his glasses off revealing his purple eyes. Karma immediately saw it as she was saying something. Immediately, Faust was going to put his glass back on, only to hear words that he hadn’t heard in a long time.

  “Your eyes are really beautiful.” Karma left afterwards, but that triggered something within Faust. Everyone could never differentiate between the two. So for her to say that she likes his eyes was a compliment he never would have dreamed of hearing. Resonating with him, he soon found more interest in her. “You know that, Karma girl. I don’t know, but there is something about her. Especially her looks.” Saying those words, it was the first time Faust had talked about someone's looks.

  “And what about it? They both are pretty for their age. Fausto was there when Karma said it, but paid no heed to it. Though he admitted the two are pretty, he didn't seem to care in the least and wasn't into having carnal desires for the two. But one of them was interested.

  “Let’s see what I could do with her.” He smiled as he rushed in excitement, wanting to go to work.

  “Hey, wait. Wait!!! Don’t cause misunderstandings!! I'm not into her!!” Fausto screamed, but Faust ignored him as he drove his car. It seemed like he was a changed man.

  An hour later

  Back at the hospital, there were many people being transported as there were serious injuries with the soldiers, along with the regular patients that was stopping by. Many came from the mission that happened earlier in the day. Because of the injuries caused by Faust, they were facing many significant injuries, such as missing limbs. Faust did obliterate a good portion of the soldiers. But those who survived were left to face future scars physically and mentally. Immediately trying to rescue them, many doctors were called to action. This included Karma and Leonora, who had been working twelve hours already and now had to do more because of this.

  “Karma….. I'm tired….can we go to sleep?” Leonora said as she was already having bags under her eyes. Being so weak, she didn’t even have the strength to move. If Karma was the strongest, then Leonora would be the weakest. Just looking at her it could be seen that she didn’t do any lifting at all. Her arms were like toothpicks to Karma's defined muscles.

  “Shut up, you don’t see me complaining.”

  “Not my fault that you are superwomen,” Leonora argues back. “I mean, you just lifted a two-hundred-pound guy by yourself.”

  “Well, I thought those in the twelve families should be strong too.”

  “I’m an exception. Thanks for reminding me of that. Anyways, where is Fausto? He left after five this morning?” Looking around, Leonora was scanning the room for Fausto.

  “Don’t you remember he said that he had to rest for a few hours as he had been up all day?”

  “But whyyyyyy?!!!!” Complaining, she started to let Karma do all the work.

  “I don’t know…. He is just that busy. Now help me!!!”

  If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  “Sorry…” Pouting, Leonora did whatever she had to help but it looked like she was nudging them than anything.

  “Help…….” Hearing an old man's plea for help, he was walking around trying to ask for help, only to fall as he was gripping his chest. Trying to grab someone’s shoe, he slowly started to lose vision as he lost consciousness. Yet still he was left unintended. Reacting, Karma instantly stopped what she was doing and rushed to the old man. Leonora saw this too, as the two quickly reacted to wanting to help the old man while leaving the soldier they were attending to others. Karma rushed to the old man to keep him alive for as much as possible, while Leonora was getting a defibrillator to help the patient, but struggled to find one as everyone was using one. Worst possible time for that.

  “Hey!!! Ignore him, save the soldiers, we don't need to prioritize him!!!” A doctor said as he quickly dragged Karma to help another patient.

  “Wait, this old man is suffering from cardiac arrest. If we don’t save him, he will die.”

  “Ignore him, the government has ordered the priorities of saving the soldiers and those who are young. That old man isn’t Avalonian, no need to save him.” In disbelief, Karma then pushed the doctor away, further than expected to say the least. But no one cared as they were all busy.

  “I can’t believe you would say such a thing. I need to go back!!!” Karma instantly went to help the old man. But by that time, Leonora, who came, noticed his breathing had stopped.

  “It's too late..” Leonora said as she looked at the time. This angered Karma as she looked at the doctor..

  “If you had..let me save...him...he would have…..” Karma was walking closer to the doctor as he was suddenly scared for some reason. It was like dark energy was starting to form in her eyes, as it felt like she had every intent to kill.

  “Come with me!!!” Karma then turned to see that Faust grabbed her. Leonora was surprised as well. As both of them hadn't expected Fausto to be here when he left a while ago. Karma was trying to struggle but Faust was keeping a very tight grip on her. Dragging her outside the hospital, they were finally able to talk.

  “What are you doing?!!! Let me go!!” Karma was trying to head back as Faust finally let go of his grip. Stopping in front of her, Faust blocked her from entering to help cool herself before really getting herself in trouble.

  “What am I doing? What are you doing? You look like you were going to kill the Doctor!!!!” Faust shouted as he was being unusually loud compared to his quiet other half. This made Karma become timid as she was scared to argue back. Faust was very angry because of how reckless Karma was being. He was even more surprised that those eyes were not of an innocent lady. It had eyes that looked like a killer. Yelling at her, her eyes soon reverted like it would never kill a soul.

  “But he..he made...that old guy could have..” Karma was trying to say. But Fausto stopped her.

  “That guy was a retainer. He was allowed in because a family member let him. Compared to the Avalonians and soldiers….he isn’t required.” Retainers are people who were invited to come into the city because of the association to an Avalonian. Those who are Avalonians are allowed to choose a person to live with them. As long as they have a clear history with no issues of trouble, they would be allowed to live within the city. But because of their status, they are not as priortise compared to others.

  “But...but...it isn’t fair….smmmmm..” Karma was trying to hold back her tears. But Faust then fixed her up as he was trying to calm her down. Seeing her facial emotions, Faust felt something within him for the first time like he was hurt for some reason. That expression was something he didn't want to see in her. It was odd. He was originally trying to hit on her, but something changed. Instead of a player, he wanted to comfort her in a nicer way.

  “Look for those in the medical field, our duty is to save people. But we need to do everything to help those who are needed for the country. We still need soldiers; they are important.” Faust said. “It is unfortunate but remember this was what you signed up for.”

  “Mmm…but...” Karma nodded as she hid her tears. Wanting to save everyone, she thought she could do it. Yet it was a reality she had not yet accepted.

  “Remember we can’t save everyone. Now come here.” Faust said as he gave her a hug. Karma being sad took it as she did feel better. She didn’t realize that Fausto was this nice as he was usually distant. She however didn’t realize that Faust was smiling as it was something only Faust would show.

  “Going with the sympathy act. You disgust me. Are you even Faust?” Fausto said in his head. But Faust didn’t care because Fausto wasn’t important right now. While this was going on, Leonora came to see what was up. Only to find those two hugging, which irked Leonora.

  “Hey we have some work to do!!! Hurry!!” Leonora said as to bother them. This almost upset Faust, who wanted to kill her. Like an alarm, Karma soon realised that there were patients. Refocused, she headed back inside.

  “Thank you, Fausto. From now on, I will do my best to save those I need. Thank you.”

  “Then make sure you come to me when you need help. I am your teacher after all.” Faust winked.

  “Yes, thank you!!” Karma quickly bowed as she rushed inside with Leonora.

  “Hmmm….I was actually enjoying it.”

  “Stop dreaming, she isn’t that vulnerable to you at all. You think that she is weak who would fall for you?” Fausto said.

  “You know, for once, can you think of me as a gentleman. Haaa….she is a good woman. She cares for other people very much.” Faust complimented her as he liked her. But this confused Fausto.

  “I thought you said you like women who are strong-willed and willing to challenge you.”

  “Hmmm...I thought so too. But it seems like I just want a kind, innocent woman after all.” Faust happily said. “I hope she realises who I actually am…...” Thinking about it, she called him Fausto, which for some odd reason hurt him. Always gotten used to it, only to find it rather odd for the first time. “Anyways, Fausto, you need to teach her immediately.”

  “What do you mean?”

  “You saw what she almost did. If I didn’t stop her, she would have exposed something she wasn’t aware of.” Faus,t then imagine something. “I wonder about what her reaction will be when she realizes who she really is and how people would view her.” Thinking about it was a cause for concern for him.

  “You are weird right now.” Fausto thought. “Wondering if I should get a lottery today?”

  “Just do it. Right now, if we don't, things could get ugly?” Already thinking that since he had powers of a diviner, it would be impossible for him to teach Karma. Faust was for once hating the fact that he was a diviner and wished he was a shadow dweller. Sad to say he would have to watch Fausto do all the personal coaching. Fausto, on the other hand, didn’t want to deal with Karma but couldn’t because ...he was right. He was going to have to since she is officially his problem. Especially if she ever gets found out, he would be involved immediately. Though he wouldn’t be blamed for not knowing but the diviners would keep surveillance over him. That is what he personally doesn’t want to deal with.

  “But that is going to be a lot of work….” Fausto was really complaining as he wasn’t looking forward to the additional work he already had to do. Working in the hospital was one thing, but having to need to train someone is even more work. Faust ignored him as he was already having to deal with something that he never wanted to deal with himself. Patients. Worse was the fact that the patients he has to help……are those he had just almost killed.

  “Don’t mention that to me. I have to deal with my victims.” Faust loves the assassin job because he gets to kill and leave. When it comes to being a Doctor….he hates it. Not only does he have to help all the soldiers…he has to…fix up all the damage he had done to some of the soldiers. It was like making a mess of a room but you have to clean it afterwards. No one wants to do that. “Huh you just had to be a doctor, didn’t you?” Blaming this on Fausto, who really felt like he was the victim of all this. After all, he was being dragged into everything that Faust wanted to do.

  “And you just had to be an Assassin, didn’t you…Guess you get to feel what happens when you have to take care of your own mess.” Fausto pointed back as he was excited that he could relax and not have to deal with the patients this time. It was nice for a change, much to Faust's displeasure.

  “I will get you back for this.” Sighing one more time, he walked back into the hospital…Its not easy having a double life..
