Getting inside the office, Karma and Leonora were amazed as this was the first time they went into the room as it was...it was…. IT WAS...dusty. There were just a few desks, just one shelf full of documents. That was it. It looks as though he never was here to begin with? Sitting down he went to his computer that looked rather untouched. Both of the two were curious.

  “Uhm do you even do work here?”

  “Yes but I just never seem to do much here. I do everything before I even come here. Usually when I do a diagnostics I usually know right away just from a glance.” Not trying to brag but Fausto really never use his office. In fact he does everything by hand so he never had to sit down. Especially since Faust would never do his work when he is awake so it was better if Fausto did it right away. Saving time by doing paperwork on the go, helps him with his hobbies he likes the most.

  “But if you have gotten it wrong?” Being reprimanded though, Karma thought this was wrong. For Fausto he didn’t seem worried as he still has his job.

  “Then I wouldn’t be here would I?”

  “Wow!!!” Leonora said in awe. She was having dazzling eyes as though god was in its midst. “So what are you going to teach us?”

  “Nothing.” He then handed a few books to them. “Each of you two will cover these books first.” These were old books as practically no one uses them. So it was even more odd for him to be giving them books. Especially when everything was through video or virtual reality.

  “....Aren’t you going to teach us anything? Shouldn’t we be doing some rounds or performing surgeries?”

  “Hush he knows best, let's just do it.” Leonora obediently listened as she was grabbing the books and dividing them before then dragging Karma to sit on the chair. Fausto was relieved that he had one person that would not question him at all. Heading out he then stood guard in front of the door while he had a rather personal talk with his other half.

  “So what do we do?” Fausto asked Faust. Though he chose them, he really didn’t know how to take care of those two. Thinking about it now, he was thinking about the worst case. “Looking inside Leonora, she has a terrifying power that even I can’t stop it. If we kill her now… we could prevent a catastrophe?”

  “What nooo....” Faust instant response as he questioned why Fausto would say that. It was even against Fausto’s principle to kill as he rarely kills anybody. Even the diviners that attack him he just knocked them out. So to be this desperate was out of the norm.

  “Then what do you suppose we do? We can’t have those two be out and about where everyone can see…. We are already in this predicament now you want to market it worse.” Even if he had rejected Leonora, it would have cause more problems as it would have drawn more attention with the diviners. They would have other methods, so taking this one was easier. So Faust knew that it was an obvious bait, but a bait that would get the diviners off his back. Thinking about it now he shouldn’t have let Faust do as he pleases with these two. If any of those two get found, his identity would be jeopardized. Planning to walk back in, he was going to get rid of the two since those two are one mistake away from killing him and themselves. However Faust said something rather unexpected as he seemed to have new plans.

  Enjoying this book? Seek out the original to ensure the author gets credit.

  “.....I’m thinking we are going to have to….teach them?”

  “Pardon??” Fausto was questioning it because that is more dangerous. “How would that benefit us?” And what would they do if they get exposed or have their power run wild?” Fausto could tell just from touching the two that they had so much power within them. So much that if they were careless even once the entire city would be destroyed. Worse he would join them in their fates.

  “It won’t.” With two who might have extraordinary powers teaching them to use their powers, it might just blow up in their face. With so much surveillance and diviners, there was no way they could train the two so quietly without getting caught. Especially with two who can’t control it let alone use it.

  “Then why?” Fausto had to ask as things aren't going as planned at all. Despite what Fausto was thinking, Faust wasn’t doing this for personal gain. Beyond all those schemes, Faust wasn't thinking about that at all. For once he was thinking more humane this time.

  “Cause they would die either way.” For once rather than showing mischief or annoyance, Faust was rather concerned with about the two. It caught Fausto off guard when thinking about it.

  “What do you mean?”

  “Leonora at this point, even if she wants to use her powers, will never be able to. Rather if she was in an accident it would be a ticking time bomb. Right now as you notice when looking at her body….it wouldn’t be wise to let her be. Worse if she were to tick, this whole region would be destroyed. The moment that happens, the chance she will survive will be unlikely. Based on my estimation her impending destruction isn’t far off . And Karma, well you know how diviner views them. The moment she is found out she will be killed on the spot or even tortured to death. She doesn’t know any of her abilities to escape if danger happens to arrive.” Showing that the two were on death doors it made sense in a way why Faust wanted to help them. After all, they themselves are close to it as well.

  “So you're saying that….”

  “Yes those two are…. Like us…” Saying that it resonated with both of them as they couldn’t help feeling as though the two needed their help. Having power but it becomes a curse rather than a blessing was something that they can’t tolerate. The choice was dangerous, but then again ,can their life be any more life-threatening than it already is.

  “Sighhhh. Very well. I agree.” Finally understanding his reasoning, Fausto gave in. Still doubting it, he will see how it goes first then change if proved to be dangerous. He thought he might be crazy but for Faust to be this caring is rare. He didn’t know but seemed like whatever the case Faust was drawn to them. Unlike Faust, Fausto thinks things logically, Fausto couldn’t really understand these things like emotion. So when Faust makes decisions out of random, it's purely on what he feels at the moment. Which doesn't align with Fausto as he always thinks about everything he does that provides benefit to them.

  “Good because I realized something. I feel like our body is much better than before. When you touch her, some of the energy that has been kept inside her, has been transferred to me.” Fausto then checked his pulses to find it to be true. That is odd for a Diviner to do that without their knowledge.

  “But how is that possible? And why is it given to me?” Fausto was confused about what was going on? It seems like these two were far more abnormal than what is abnormal already. In fact this might be a tad too much to deal with including the stuff he already had to deal with. At this point work seems like a blessing compared to his personal life.

  “Right now you need to keep them under your surveillance. Especially since they might help us in the future. So instead of making them read books, it's time for them to actually learn, wouldn't you say?"

  “Haaa….I find dealing with you one thing. But it seems like dealing with three isn’t charming. Haa..will I live through this longer or shorter? Life really just sucks.” Taking a few deep breaths, he opened the door knowing that there was no turning back now or ever as he never realized that his life would go from one place to the next.
