The day of the meeting finally arrived, Cross, Maddox, and Seven were on their way to the capital city of the Empire, Orion, the home of the Royal family and aristocracy.
The city became a central mark for the industry and the place where the main branch of every huge organization was established in the past century.
In order to lessen the attention from Seven, Maddox decided to personally present the topic concerning soul structure. He was also planning to reveal Seven's contributions to this study.
More importantly, let everyone know that Seven will be his student and is going to join the army of the 2nd battalion.
Seven were currently waiting in a side room dedicated to children from high-ranking personnel to nobles. He was alone in this spacious room that had numerous brand toys, a high performing smart robots, and a snack lounge, though they called it a snack, the food they served couldn't even compare to his previous world that had chips, chocolates, and candies, cupcakes, juice and many more.
Here they only have a simple cookie, some fruits, and of course nutritional drinks that come in different colors, but he bet the taste was just the same.
One by one children of those high-ranked figures and nobles came. They were wearing expensive brand clothing and shoes, and their terminal watch didn't look like the ones provided by the government, but this watch failed in comparison with his.
His new terminal watch was made by Maddox himself, he even requested to change the design from the usual bulky appearance to a more elegant yet simple style.
So when they saw Seven clothes they immediately thought it was from a cheap apparel since they have never seen them before.
Seven of course didn't seem lesser than them, his clothes were custom-made by a famous designer, Sinn, who immediately went to take his measurements when Maddox called him. Sinn was even shocked to see other well-known designers in the industry.
This group of people often get together to talk about the latest trends in the fashion industry but they rarely meet during work. But Maddox invited all these people just for a kid.
Seven specially created this design for his clothes which he base on his previous worlds. At first, the designers were skeptical to use Steven's creation but the moment they saw it, they were amazed. Maddox couldn't be any more proud of his student.
"Should we talk to him"
"no way, what if his from those lesser family"
"yeah, just look at his clothes"
"let's just play on our own"
The kids talk beside him which made Seven roll his eyes. Children can be really scary sometimes, didn't they know that outcasting a child could lead to them having serious mental problems when they grow up.
"tsk" he said but didn't bother to argue, Seven doesn't want to stoop down to their level. He put on his headset on both of his ears and close his eyes, he was listening to an old song he personally made on a device that could produce a sound similar to an instrument since he wasn't fond of their music here. Things like headsets don't exist in this world for some reason, maybe because listening to music was more of a treatment than leisure. While instruments are difficult to find since this world lacks artisans.
When he tried looking for a similar one but couldn't find any, Maddox just made him one, it was, even more better than the ones he had on earth. In addition, people were more inclined on using the virtual network, in which you needed to enter a cabin and connect your account to your terminal watch. He wanted to have one of these but immediately stop when he read the guidelines.
Sadly there is a restriction for this, children below the age of sixteen cannot use this and such rules were indicated in the law. The people here wanted their children to have a stable foundation in their studies and avoid them from being distracted. Seven, who had the mentality of an adult, thinks this was too strict.
Here children only need to focus on their studies and training, especially for children that had a special status, they needed to attend banquets and socialize.
Seven who had his eyes closed was awakened when he felt someone coming closer to him. That person was emitting a powerful aura despite him trying to control it, it was different for Seven who can easily retract his aura without much problem.
When he was resting earlier he didn't notice a kid around 12 or 13 years old come inside, his hair was pitch black and he had heterochromia thus his left eye was golden while the other was a mixture of gray and black. It was really beautiful. Just looking at his young face, Seven was sure that he will surely become more attractive when this kid mature.
"It's young master Magus" a girl who was around 8 whispered happily, the girl beside her was feeling the same.
"I heard he was first in the rankings"
"he is so handsome"
Various comments came out of their mouths but Seven who was being stared at was feeling uncomfortable but he didn't let it show on his face. Both had no expression in their eyes.
" you're Seven?" he said as he scrutinize him from his feet to his face.
'is this brat looking down on me' he thought and can't help but felt insulted. He didn't even know who this kid was.
"obviously" he didn't back down nor showed any weakness. He was confident that when it comes to ability, his weren't something you can just fight on.
"I wonder what makes Dr. Maddox and General Cross look at you so dearly" he said, there was a hint of confusion in his voice, maybe because he didn't feel anything special about a 3S class mental power, he himself was a 3S class physique with three abilities system.
"Oh, why don't you ask my TEACHER and the General" he said feeling triumphant, it seem like someone is jealous, he even emphasizes the word teacher to anger him more. Seven thought that there were a lot of young people who idolize the General and his teacher and this kid happened to be one of them.
Magus scrunched his forehead, to think that the famous doctor accepted this child as his student.
Seeing the two talk, the children around them began to wonder what was Seven's identity, especially when Magus mentioned two prominent names in their society. What's even more baffling is how he become a student of Maddox.
The kids might be young but their parents had taught them to be friends with those with higher status, now they are beginning to regret their actions and even blame Seven in their minds for not saying anything.
Just so you know, many people contacted Maddox just to meet their children and were kind of hoping he would accept them as his student but he didn't receive any of this, saying, ' was not interested in teaching'.
"is that so" Magus didn't wait for him to answer and turn on his back, Seven on the other hand was feeling happy.
'No matter how mature you may seem you are still a kid' he thought and look for his identity in his light brain.
His information immediately pops up. The kid was called a rare genius second only to Maddox when it comes to intelligence. He was ever more powerful than his father, the marshall, he had a 3s physique and a 2s mental power with three unknown abilities.
He tops all of his subjects and jumps up two classes which was a rare case in the Imperial Academy. Most of all he was the youngest child of Marshall Wimbroase.
He was Magus Odyssey De Wimbroase.
