The most dangerous man he had encountered in all his life was Calyx. He himself didn't suffer physical harm with him, in fact with Calyx backing him, he was treated more nicely.
Even the food he ate was delicious and the room he stayed in was his alone. However those things came with a price, a lavish life was equivalent to selling himself to Calyx. Good thing Calyx was the one who gave those things and so Seven only owes him one time.
This debt wasn't repaid though since he escape before Calyx could find him. It would be shocking if that man did follow him because of an unfulfilled desire. That thought of his scared him, he would rather be stuck in a room with Eros than be with him.
The disturbing aura vanished suddenly and he sigh in relief after it disappeared, he then continues looking for clues. He reached the assembly hall and saw more people running and screaming for their life.
Seven helped those who were hurt on the way as he followed the smell permeating the whole place. The odd thing about this drug was it didn't cause hallucinations but something else. If this was a hallucinogen, these people would have been in a crazed manner, attacking mindlessly and worse killing people.
"if it's not that drug, why does it smell like it" his attention was caught by a pained shout.
"ack" Seven heard a girl scream as he grip the roots of her hair. She was in pain but didn't want to go manic, not in front of his little brother.
"sister are you OK??" the little boy asked worried written on his face. He didn't know what happened, his sister just pulled him away and they started to run. All of a sudden his sister stopped and clutch her head and whimpered as she tries to bite the pain off.
Seven approached them, it was a good thing that the girl noticed his mask and was able to question her easily.
"Hello, I'm Seven from the 2nd fleet, I wanted to ask if you had intake and smelled something weird during the past few hours." his voice was soft and the girl felt relieved just from hearing.
"We ate some food earlier but I don't think that has got to do with this, I mean my brother is fine ..... but I did bump someone earlier, he was emitting a strange smell" she explained as she tried to remember the guy.
"can you remember this face" that guy may have done something wrong with these people.
"I'm sorry I can't" she couldn't really remember the man.
When Seven thought all of his hope was gone the boy suddenly thought of something.
"wait I can help....." he said as he press something on his terminal. This was his video recording during the times he had to spend on the campus. Their family had been forgetful and to make sure they're don't forget anything important, they needed to record everything. His sister also had one but she must have forgotten about it too.
"right we have this" his sister couldn't help but facepalm.
Seven took a deep breath, it was a good thing that they remember this vital information. The kid asks his family A.I. to show the scene on the time his sister bump the man. As they waited for the sequence video the boy ask Seven.
"is my sister going to be an all right big brother" the boy was worried about his sister's condition.
"don't worry I'll help her. "he looked at the girl and said" I'll check your condition and expel the toxins in your body but don't reject my energy or else the backlash would affect you" Seven's and his superb energy would be affected by this girl since he was protected by his spiritual power and so the girl would receive the damage instead. She nodded and let him hold her wrist, she then felt the cool sensation from his energy as it slowly help her mental power. It didn't take long for him to eliminate the toxin.
"it should be finished now" the treatment he had registered for her was something he and Maddox discovered after wanting to know how to expel impurities from the body, however, this couldn't remove the old energy that has stayed in the body. Still, it was quite useful and the medical profession had been using it for the past years.
"here it's finished, "the boy said, he showed the exact moment and they saw the man bumping into his sister acting like it was an accident, the good thing in here was his face was seen. He looked ordinary and wouldn't take that much attention, he was wearing a casual shirt and pants. If today's incident didn't happen, the man would not have attracted them.
"thank you for your cooperation, I'll ask the soldiers to accompany you to a safe area, "he said and order two soldiers from the 3rd fleet.
They bid their farewells and Seven used military communication to report what he had found out.
"This is officer Seven from the 2nd fleet, a man suspected of carrying a dangerous drug may be in the vicinity. I already sent the attachment to the server, if you see him make sure to capture him. Be extra cautious around him, the drug he had can cause mania...I repeat" he announced.
"where did you get this information" the Marshall Cross ask him.
"reporting to Marshall, I perform a medical treatment for someone just now and had noticed the toxins from her mental energy, she had told me the food and drinks she had wasn't the cause since this brother wasn't affected. She told me that she accidentally bump into that man. They had trouble remembering things and just so happened to record everything. I made the soldiers accompany them after "he explained.
Seven wanted to report to Cross about the existence of these drugs but remembered he was using army communication. He decided to tell him after this call.
He then received an affirmative answer from everyone after asking a few more questions.
He was about to turn it off and contact Cross when he heard someone call his name. It was from Magus.
" Seven, meet us in the Central campus "he invited Seven. He was together with the 2nd fleet who followed Marshall Cross here earlier and the 3rd army who was stationed in the empire. They all heard his report and immediately after he finish, the soldier contacted the surveillance team to check for the man. Others were ordered to check the evacuation area to check if the man was hiding with the students and posing as a normal civilian.
Seven was going to answer 'yes' when Cross order him to follow Maddox in the medical bay while Magus was tasked to focus on finding the man instead of waiting for Seven. Magus and Seven couldn't refuse the order since he had the highest military position.
"affirmative Marshall" the two answered and said bid goodbye.
Seven check his terminal and so Magus message him. He replied saying they can meet later, whenever they weren't busy. However, the promised meeting would take years to fulfill as this would be the last time they will communicate. They were still unaware of the looming danger coming their way and the approaching war that was about to break.
"Magus you seem close with Marshall's son," Page asked Magus and was shocked to know this side of him. He thought that the rumor about Seven wasn't true.
"were friends"
....
The news about what happened has been reported and the nation was in shock. They waited in front of their hologram, their terminal, and starnet any other broadcasting sights as they await more information.
On the starnet, people had reported the things that had happened during the breakout and countless comments were voiced out. Some were afraid, some were angry and some had spread fake news and caused more panic among the people.
The founder of the starnet himself, Eros, had to come out in order to calm everyone down, explaining to everyone not to spread fake news and took down those accounts. He affirm to everyone that no one died, and those affected were immediately assisted.
At the school, they were able to find the man Seven suspected to be the cause of the problem. The man was captured before he could leave, he didn't expect that his face would be captured during his mission, seeing as how he didn't have any choice, he planned to commit suicide.
Cross stop him before he could bite off the poison in his mouth. Seven had told him about drugs originating from his former world appearing here. He had also pointed out that if a similar organization existed here, they would put poison inside their mouth to prevent being tortured to confess the secret.
" We capture the man" he reported on the military communication, they put a limiter around him to prevent him from attacking.
