Inside Orlando's office. After waiting Gene mageforce to calm down, "So, can you tell me about what happened?".
"Haa… It was my fault. Rather than protect him, I tried to cause harm to him." Response Gene immediately felt guilty over all her face.
"Calm down Gene, It's okay. I trust you. Just tell what is it that actually happens." [Orlando]
Then, she tells him about Josep's three-element affinity and the beginning of their spar. She told him the reason behind the spar although it seems like Spartan training.
Orlando also agrees about this kind of training with her. As he also did that to Fernando and William. Then, she told him how fast his mastery over [physical boost].
"At first, I will begin after he finishes with [physical boost] and beats him. However, even after he clad his body with [physical boost] he still unconsciously keeps boosting his body physic and goes to another level."
"This skill has become like [Superpower] from level 3 berserker skill. I decide to stop him from raising his physic any further as I am afraid it will harm him. However, he suddenly dodged my first strike while keeping his current [physical boost]."
"As the spar goes on, he becomes harder to hit with his strange footwork. Finally, I was forced to use my magic eye. I decided to make him give up by using [smash] skill to knock him out."
"On the contrary, he rises up even after getting hit. When I want to stop the spar, He changes his posture and his battle stance. I feel a chill all over my body that looks like I am in front of a predator from him. Moreover, my sword [Red Dog] also becomes restless."
"Less than a second later, his speed increased rapidly and continued to attack me. Although it is fast, under my magic eye prediction, I could still handle it."
However, he seems to also predict my next movement and he changes his trajectory of his sword in the middle of his swing. At that time, I instinctively felt threatened from his attack. As a reflex I use [full burst]."
"Activating [full burst], I immediately realize and regret what I have done. But, once again he rises up while his protective gear breaks apart."
"Before I can be relieved about his safety, he comes attacking me once again. The rest is like what you see when you arrive at the training ground."
After a few moments of silent, "Hmmp.. to summarize three-element affinity, fast learning skill, strange footwork to reach incredible speed, a flawless battle instinct that even out-predict your movement, and lastly using clone-like skill."
"Hahaha… It seems I still underestimate my son. It's okay Gene. You have done what you need to be done. Reassure Orlando
After a few moments of silence he continued, "Actually, Josep is quite a special kid even from when he is born."
Orlando tells his story about the Josep one-year-old incident and Josep keen perception to found Moru who has a job Stalker specialty at high level.
Hearing that Gene immediately responded, "Then, Josep cannot stay in this mansion. He will be pursued by many people from those organizations. Your family will also be in danger." Said Gene worriedly.
"He is from Temus family and I will do anything to protect him even if it costs my life." As he said this resolutely.
"But, your family will…" then, Gene stops talking as she looks at his resolute face.
"Then, I will also protect him as long as I am alive. Besides, he is my disciple. There is no way I will abandon him." Said Gene also with strong resolution in her voice.
"Thanks once again, Gene. I really owe you a big one this time" [Orlando]
"This is the least I could do for him. Anyway, it seems one of your sons also found out about this spar incident. If I am not wrong his name is Fernando. You should probably talk more to him. I feel he is too cold to my liking." [Gene]
"Fernando huh… Okay, I will try to talk to him when I am done with my work. You rest now, Gene. Once again please take care of Josep" while he back to looking over some document.
"Then, I will be going now." [Gene]
Josep POV
Inside the Josep's room. Josep lay still unconsciously on his bed.
"Huh... where I am? Did I die again? Did that crazy woman truly kill me while my father was only watching me. Next time, I see them I will make them suffer" Said Josep grumpily while cursing around.
"Stop grumping!! You useless pig!!? You are not dead yet, Idiot!! You are still alive. So, hurry up to strengthen your body unless you want all of us to die."
"This time we are lucky that I am not going out when you are still not strong enough to hold me." Said Wrath in his soul form which like Josep however with a grumpier expression.
"Huh, Wrath how can you be here? Don't tell me!!? you are coming out already?" Asked Josep confusedly.
"Jezz.. Didn't I tell you I am not going out yet. Why are you so fucking stupid? Just go die already!! Wrath ready to punch Josep.
But before he can fight with Josep, another soul form who looks so prideful comes out "Stop, Wrath. We don't have time for this." Pride holding back Wrath to go on a rampage.
"Pride, is that you?? Wait, there are also Gluttony, Envy, Sloth, and Lust. But why don't I see Greed."
"You don't see who??! Kakaka" Greed laughed maniacally and startled me from behind.
"Enough!! let's stop the chit chat. Listen, Sep, we know you hate us however we are in this body of yours together and you are in a really dangerous situation than what you think." Said Lust in a serious tone.
"Dangerous situation? What is it?" My expression also becomes grave as I know Lust only gets serious when all of us are truly in danger. I know he is the brightest mind from all of us.
"Do you remember about your prerequisite power to control us from that God?" Asked Lust hurriedly.
"Yes, the first is willpower and the second one is a strong body, right? Wait a second?! How come you know about it?" [Josep]
"It's not important how we know about it. Do you remember if you have a strong body what will happen to you? Asked Lust again.
"I will die and explode. However, it's nothing to worry about. With the help of mageforce I believe I can have a super soldier body in the next few years combined with the right resources. I think it will not be quite a proble..." Said Josep calmly.
"No, we also hope not to awaken and come out this few months or even years. Actually, at this morning incident, because of Wrath's rampage. All of us seem awake. The reason why we are not coming out is because we hold down ourselves."
"We realize that if we come out now. Our body will explode because it cannot hold all of us.
"Luckily, you can control your emotion to not force Wrath come out. Now, here's the real problem, according to Greed, our soul will never be fit to our body even after reaching super soldier state." Sad tone can be heard from his voice.
"Wait, so that means you all will never come out again? Yeahhh.. This is the great news so far. However, it still makes me curious how it can never fit the body. I thought we wouldn't have any problems when we were on Earth." As I ponder over it.
"The cause is our new power. With our new power our soul is going bigger than a normal being can hold. Even the so-called champion body in this world cannot even hold one of our souls safely."
This may be great news for you who want to get away from us. However, it also makes us become your time bomb as now all of us can be forced to resurface when your emotion is too unstable." Said lust seriously.
"I see so unless I am not becoming too emotional, I will be alright. Well, All I need to do is just to keep my calm and everything will be alright." Then, I begin to celebrate more.
"Actually. There is a way beside this. All you have to do is become a strong vessel for all of us. Greed will send you all the information to make such a strong body to you when you wake up." Said Lust after quite a moment.
"And… Why should I do that? You guys already make my life miserable enough. Besides, it was your fault that you wished too much power. Now, I will just live peacefully on Hirth." I give a cold shoulder to all of them.
Then, I see all of their expressions for the first time. I saw sadness in them. No matter what kind of situation we are in, they never give me such expression. Even, in the brink of the dead they are still playful.
Suddenly Lust said to me, "Sep, I really don't like this side of yours. However, to us you are…" Lust stops after a while before he talks again.
"Stop… don't say it. I AM NOT YOUR CREATOR. All of you are like cancer to me. So, stop saying that." I shouted at them while denying every single one of them.
"Huft… Sep, do you know why we don't interrupt you when you tried to kill all of us back on the earth? The truth is because we know that's exactly what you want."
"You actually don't need to ask God for power to control us because you already have it from the start. Because We are Septem" said Lust before he disappeared toward darkness.
"Well done so far boy, you really been great. I guess this world has a good influence on you. At least you are not what you used to be. I really envy you. Call me if you miss me. Because we are always being Septem." Said Envy sarcastically then disappears into the darkness.
"Hmp… Hungry… Food… Eat…. Together… We… Are… Septem." Said Gluttony while crying then went to darkness.
"I never feel so betrayed like this as someone who I acknowledge. Because you and I are always part of Septem." Said Pride while looking at me very disappointed before gone to darkness.
"Tch… you stupid monkey. Why can you understand? You are part of us and we are part of you. WE WILL ALWAYS BE SEPTEM." Shouted Wrath in an angry tone then walked back to darkness.
"KAAKAKA.. You know what? You are the best comedian ever. Anyway I already transfer all the data to YOUR NUMBSKULL BRAIN. So, that you will never do something this silly again as part of Septem." As Greed goes into the darkness
"Huaammm… I am sleepy… I think will sleep for a while… It's okay. I trust you, Septem" Said Sloth before disappear toward darkness.
After that I wake up, while all the data from Greed hammering my brain. Somehow, my eyes keep watery and wetting my face not because of pain that got a lot of that data at once. But, because all their last word before they plunge into darkness.
I supposed to hate them and load them. However, every single crazy memory that I do with them keep popping in my head. "Why? Why do I feel this way? I hate them. They are all crazy and always do crazy stuff without care of the consequence."
"They are cancers. They are evil, sinners, and They are… they are… my family. My close family that shares all my suffering. Huaa… why… I missed them. I missed Septem."
Then, I kept crying overnight and fell asleep dreaming about my adventure as Septem with 7 sins against the world.
