Year 3024
10:00 PM
Elli couldn't do anything but stare at the body covered in a white cloth, telling her that the person was dead. She was physically and mentally in shock by how everything was happening all at once.
"Miss Sylvester?" she came back to reality and turned to the doctor who seemed young and had glasses on "Yes? Have you contacted her family?" she asked as the doctor fixed his glasses
"My name is Leo and I know that what is happening is a shock to you and her family is coming here right now" he said so she played with her fingers "Did she really die? Why?" she asked so Leo sighed seeing how nervous Ellie was
"Traces of magic was seen on her wounds telling us that a weapon was not the cause of her death and when we sent this information to the police they dig up her information," he said and flipped on the clipboard and Ellie could only stay silent
"You said that you only saw her while passing by, right?" he asked so she nodded "Y-Yes... Is something wrong, Doctor?" she asked when she noticed the change in his expression
"The woman you had found is Diana Park and she's an error according to the Agnis Association and she ranked 52 in the rank" Ellie was speechless at what she's hearing "Are you telling me that..." before Ellie could even finish Leo had already nodded
"Whoever did this had a strong killing intent and is already getting investigated," he said but Ellie was still bothered
"But Doctor... Why are you telling me this? Any information about the patient can't be disclosed. That is part of this hospital's rules" she said and Leo was taken aback at the sudden change of expression.
A smile crossed his lips "You are sharper than you look Miss Sylvester" he said as Ellie avoided eye contact
"To answer your question, when we looked if the spirit inside Miss Park was stuck we were shocked to see it was empty. That is not possible unless Miss Park had let go of her spirit or she and her spirit transferred their ability to be an error to you" Ellie's jaw dropped at the information
"Is that even possible?" she asked, eyebrows furrowed "As you know, I am an error doctor so it's my job to know these things and I'm asking your cooperation on being tested?" he said and Ellie instantly touched her wrist.
'Is that what she did earlier?' she thought.
She remembered how her wrist glowed before "What if I don't cooperate?" she asked "You the only one who's going to be in pain" he answered so she hesitated when her phone suddenly rang. When she fished out her phone she saw that it was Jake so she glanced at Leo "Please answer that" he said so she left the hospital room to answer the call.
"Hello?"
"Don't hello me! Where were you?! You weren't answering your phone and when I went to the convenience store they said that you already left a few minutes ago!"
"May I say that I am older than you? And don't worry about me, I'm in the hospital"
"Don't worry?! And why are you in the hospital? What happened?!"
"Jake, calm down. I saw an injured woman but she was dead on arrival"
"What?! Do you need me there?"
She smiled when her brother's voice softened "It's okay. I'm only waiting for her family to come" she said and she could hear him sigh "Fine" he said making her chuckle "I'll be home later, okay?" she said
"Okay.." he mumbled before she hang up. When Ellie came back to the room, Leo was still there "Are you finished now? Are you agreeing to cooperate?" he asked so she sighed "Yes.." she said while nodding making Leo smile.
Ellie was guided to a laboratory on the sixth floor of the hospital where she was made to lay down on an adjustable chair.
Ellie stared at Leo's bothered expression "Is something wrong with me?" she asked so Leo looked at her "No, your okay" he said while his eyebrows were still furrowed "But can I ask you if one of your family is an error?" he asked so she nodded
"Both my parents are," she said making him nod "That explains," he said more to himself making Ellie confused "Why? What's happening?" she asked
"You have a large amount of mana inside your body that not all people have. I think your parents are strong, right?" he asked so she hesitantly nodded that Leo chose to ignore
"There is a high possibility that a strong spirit had already connected with you" he said while removing the iron-like-cuff on her wrist "Is it finished?" she asked as she sat properly so he nodded
"Yes" he nodded so Ellie looked at her palm "Doctor, do you think I could control the thing that's inside of me?" she asked, uncertain "I'm sure" she was taken aback at his fast response
"I'm serious," she said so Leo raised a brow "And so do I. An error won't pass on their power to you if they think that you're not capable enough," he said so Ellie smacked her lips "Are we having the same spirit?" she asked so he shook her head
"That's not possible. Every error has a different spirit. When Miss Park gave you her powers the spirit also gave the string of connection to another spirit to connect to you" he explained
"Remember that spirits are living things. The spirit Miss Park has also had the decision when she gave it to you" he added so Ellie nodded "You can go now" he said
"W-Wait," she said when Leo was about to leave "How do I summon it?" she asked so Leo stared at her "You can't force it out Miss Sylvester. You'll do it once the both of you are ready" he said and didn't even wait for her to answer as she left the room leaving her there.
This is the first time she had seen such a rude doctor before. She stopped glaring at the door and looked back at her hands as if waiting for something to appear.
'If we're both ready, huh?' She thought.
