Days passed and the news about the spiritual structure spread like a wildfire. At first, only the 2nd army knew about this, until the rumor reached the Mendollian association, an organization composed of scientists, researchers, and professionals studying the field of science, medicine, engineering, economics, and technology.
Maddox who was responsible for this was called to present this study. Of course, he didn't agree, those people at the association were people he dislike the most, and because of it, every day he was bombarded with calls.
"If you are someone who has a 3S class mental power, a spiritual power that could be as beautiful as the galaxy, an ability that could swallow space, and a once in every then ten thousand prodigies, I would gladly do any favor you ask for if you have even one of this qualities no matter what kind of request it is. If not then don't bother calling" the people who heard this were left speechless, especially the Mendollian association. They were the people who mock Melton about this study so hearing that this theory was true, their faces were red from embarrassment.
Seven who was with Maddox look at him strangely. He knew his ability was something great but isn't it too much of an exaggeration to say that he is a once in every ten thousand prodigy?
"anyway about your ability... " Maddox was explaining to him about his spiritual power which is something he can easily create without the use of any device. He had tried channeling it earlier and Maddox was so excited that he refused to leave him alone. His spiritual structure didn't contain any damage unlike his and was ten times more beautiful than the image perceived on the screen. Now they were discussing his abilities.
Seven was surprised to hear that his power was a black matter that has the ability to emit pressure and swallow those around it. When he heard this, he could only remember the time he was swallowed by the very same black hole.
He controls his ability and just likes what Maddox said, it was like vacuuming everything. If this wasn't his ability he might fear this but thankfully this was his.
"Seven you really are treasures, not only are your mental powers and physiques superb even your ability is domineering" he said eyes sparkling with delight.
They were testing out his abilities and was unaware of the events outside.
In the cafeteria, talk about Seven, Maddox and Cross were the main topic.
"isn't our 2nd army really lucky this pass few year" Lewis said and took a nutritional drinks. It was already lunch time, they have chefs here, the food they serve isn't really that good, though nutritional drinks isn't much better.
"I think so too, not only did we receive more recognition, General Cross is about to be promoted to a Marshall, this way we don't have to worry about the higher ups since the general will be part of it soon. He will be the youngest Marshall in the empire, only 35 this year" Green said excitedly. He was a fan of the General, that's why he immediately apply for entry in the 2nd army after learning and graduating from the academy.
"dont forget that we also have the genius Dr. Maddox, I heard so many people wanted to recruit him, even the 1st army gave him an invite but our General was able to do convince him" Forrester Blanche suddenly arrive in their table, he was Lewis younger brother by 2 years, he remove his hat showing his white hair, in the army he was a known gossip mogul.
His handsome face paired with his blue eyes can allure anyone but this image immediately broke the moment he opened his gossiping mouth.
"hey do you think the two of them, you know.." he added, even raising and lowering his brows.
"you're already gossiping this early" a man with crimson red hair and ocean blue eyes appear behind him carrying a tray full of food. His handsome chiseled face contorted, and he was around 190 cm tall, the same height as Lewis.
"Oh! you're here, did you bring me my food" Forrester said cutely. Maximilian Litch who was looking at him gave him his share and sat beside him.
" thank you, Max, you're always so good to me" the man didn't say anything and just motion him to eat.
"hey... Is your brother this oblivious" Green whispered to Lewis, the man just looked at him and nodded. He didn't know why this little brother of his was like this. Maximilian's advances so far had been pretty obvious, almost all the soldiers here knew about it. Only this idiot didn't realize.
"I almost forgot, did you hear about that kid, I think his name was Seven, the General and Dr. Maddox are taking care of him. But I heard that the kid was so powerful, he was the first ever to have a 3S mental power." this news wasn't new to the three in fact everyone knew about it.
Everyone in their minds had crowned them as the 2nd Army's big three. The soon-to-be Marshall who had dual abilities with mutated elements, Dr. Maddox who was a genius scientist who had created years of gap in the empire's technology and engineering, and now a kid with a never been seen mental power, whose future was bound for greatness.
Imagining this, they sometimes can't help but think that life was really unfair. Not only were this three have impressive looks even their abilities are out of this world.
Back at the lab, Seven and Maddox were having their lunch. A smart robot handed him a nutritional drink but the moment he taste it, he immediately vomit it out to the nearest bin.
"why? What's wrong?" Maddox sees him throw up the drinks.
"This thing tastes so bad" he complained, the drink he usually had didn't have this strong taste and even that drink took him weeks to get used to. Now he was handed a new one.
"Really, don't kids prefer this" he said confused. He scratches his forehead for a bit before asking the smart robot to take another one that has a milder taste.
"wait don't bring any of those things, I'll cook something on my own, just bring me to a kitchen" he had enough of these drinks, it was more better to cook his own food, anyway he can just have a simple meal like eggs and bacon, or maybe some pancake.
"you can cook" his eyes widen, cooking in this era couldn't be considered cooking at all in Seven's mind. He learned about it before when he was browsing information on his light brain. In addition, here the most important purpose of food was the auxiliary treatment it provides, the taste and appearance were just secondary.
"of course" he huffs his small chest feeling proud, in the whole empire, there might not be anyone who can beat him when it comes to cooking. As an assassin, they need to be vigilant in the food they eat, who knows someone might poison them to death because of their carelessness, so it was a must for them to know cooking.
"you sure!" he tries to confirm.
"Just watch me, I'll let you taste what real food is"
"OK then I'll lead you to the kitchen." he didn't really believe him at first but for some reason, the child's confidence amazes him.
