After this sudden fight against this weird man that came from an unknown place and for an unspecified reason, everyone tried to recover mentally after some time Destiny came inside the mana zone and found everyone sitting on a bench, Floga and Luck had beaten up clothes on while Caroline seemed perfectly fine
"What happened? To you two? Did you get into a fight?"
Destiny asked as she ran up to them, nobody bothered to answer at first but after some seconds Caroline started explaining
"A random guy came out of nowhere and assaulted Luck and Floga, thankfully I managed to beat him and he fled with a teleportation device"
Caroline told Destiny without raising her head
"I don't see any wound so I assume everything went smoothly"
Destiny said as she inspected both Luck and Floga
"Yeah everything is fine but, Caroline refuses to tell us why this person knew her. Caroline you know I can report this to Kamira, right?"
Floga said as he got up from the bench, he was visibly angry at her
"Wait really? Was he one of your brothers?"
Destiny asked Caroline but Caroline refused to answer, in a flash Luck quickly stood up and grabbed Caroline's clothes pulling her up
"Are you going to stay silent forever? Try to understand that we care for you so hiding things behind our backs isn't going to help any of us! You already hid the fact that my father was your boss and now you are hiding this too! What are you planning Caroline?"
Luck said with a bothered look on his face, everyone was surprised to see Luck react this intense
"I don't know how you will handle the truth so I prefer not to speak"
Caroline said with a weak voice
"What do you mean? Hiding the truth about my father is one thing but not telling us about a guy that just tried to kill us is a whole different league of messed up"
Luck said with even more aggression in his voice Floga then stood up and distanced Luck from Caroline
"Don't act like a fool Luck, fighting among ourselves won't answer your question so let's be civil about what just happened!"
Floga said
"He is right! You see Luck, your father isn't who you think he is, if I told you about that in New York then how would you rea..."
As Caroline was speaking Luck interrupted her
"It doesn't matter how I would have reacted, the thing is you don't give me a reason to trust you anymore Caroline, I can't go on thinking you are hiding things behind my back, do you know how frustrating this is? Like hell! You can even be hiding information about Hope right now and I would have never known"
Luck said with a sad voice, he didn't want to say these things but Caroline didn't give him any reason not to
"You want the truth? Then I will tell you the truth! But don't ever assume I'm not honest with you, he is the leader of the 'Leviathan' an organization inside the parallel world that is known for its heavy impact on the real and parallel world, this organization is also known to have some of the best fighters... 'The seven deadly sins', but most of us know your father as Lucifer Gestalt, or the 'primal sin' he is one of the most powerful people in the world and this guy happens to be UMP's enemy"
Caroline said, Luck looked startled
"Doesn't that mean that his guy will be in the cargo ship?"
Luck asked, he completely ignored the fact about his father
"I don't think so, if I remember correctly the people inside the cargo are some randoms that decided to exploit the low security in this country"
Caroline said as she once again sat on the bench
"That's good but why did this guy show up here?"
Luck asked confused
"Didn't you hear him, idiot? He said he simply came here and happened to come across us so he decided to maybe do a little job, he even said it himself"
Floga replied, he then exited the mana zone, his clothes weren't torn like Luck's so he wouldn't have a big issue at school, but Luck on the other hand had to create some clothes
"I almost forgot we had school... I will go to the corner to create some clothes for myself so please be kind enough to wait for me"
Luck said but before he left Destiny stopped him
"Wait! I think I can fix your clothes!"
Destiny said, she then used her power, and Luck's clothes quickly regenerated
"Whoa! Where did you learn to do that?"
Caroline asked, she seemed very surprised, Luck was also surprised but he didn't show it as much as Caroline
"It was a skill I wanted to learn for a long time, you see my clothes often get damaged or torn apart when I fight and I can't afford to lose an outfit every time I fight so I thought something like clothing regeneration would be helpful, for me is like a passive ability but I have to actively use it to someone"
Destiny said with a proud smile, she looked very happy to learn a new skill like this
"Good for you! I also learned some neat abilities but I don't feel like telling you now, Kamira told us to gather at a meeting to show the higher-ups our improvements, I assume you can wait until then"
Luck said, Destiny, left a small laughter
"Do you think that's all I learned during the weeks? I also have learned multiple skills but I don't plan to expose them until the meeting! I want to see your faces when you see my improvements"
Destiny said with a funny smirk
"Whatever... thanks for fixing my clothes! See ya at the meeting! Bye Caro, Bye Destiny"
Luck said as he exited the mana zone, shortly after the girls exited too, all of them attend school normally after, and when the time arrived a plane that Robbie piloted came to pick them all up and drop them at the UMP's base in Palermo, once they entered the base Risha was there to greet them
"Long time no see everyone! I really missed you all! Even though I only teach Luck"
Risha said with a big smile as she tried to hug everyone, Floga backed away but everyone else gave in to her hug
'It's weird to see her act like that when the first time we met she almost broke my hand'
Luck thought, Risha then released them and they all walked up to the meeting room once again, Kamira was there waiting outside of the room
"I'm glad you all made it here in time! So you will enter in turns and display your improvements to the CEO, by doing this you will show him why I assigned you for this mission, I know he will be impressed by all of your improvements so don't be anxious"
Kamira said to comfort them
"Oh and one last thing, Caroline don't you dare attack James, if you do then our alliance may be lost"
she said before going inside the room
Everyone then silently waited outside the room and before they knew it a name was called
"Floga come in!"
It was Kamira's voice
"Looks like I have to go"
"So that means we won't see each other's abilities huh?"
Luck asked
"Seems like it"
Floga said as he entered the room, the room was changed since the last time he was in, the huge circular table was replaced by a wide table where three people were sitting, the people were James Khora and his left and right hands, Floga stood in front of them and he was then told to display his powers in front of the CEO
"I'm Floga Pyr and I have an affinity for the element of destruction! My powers are fire-based attacks that help me move faster and attack heavier, I also developed some special moves during my training here on the Italian base of UMP"
Floga said as he created fire with his hands
"Why don't you show us a bit more than a simple fire, I'm more interested to see your destructive attacks"
James asked as he looked at Floga with a bored look, Floga got annoyed with James's face so he started to fly around with his fire powers and release huge amounts of fire at the wall, James looked a little bit less bored when Floga did that
"And now for my special move..."
Floga said as he started channeling a beam of fire with his hands
"... Fire beam!"
Floga said as he released a powerful beam at the wall breaking it in the process
"Bring the next one!"
James said as he yawned, Floga angrily exited the room and Destiny then entered
"Hope's sister! I have high expectations for you!"
James said with a smile
"How do you know Hope?"
Destiny asked him
"You don't have to know, I told you the last time too, didn't I?"
James asked, his heavy mana aura made Destiny more intimidated so Destiny simply thanked James and displayed her power for the first time, Destiny created a magical spear in her hands and five others around her, the ones around her were hovering around her
"Hmm, interesting but I still haven't seen your guardian yet, or do you need a subject to create one?"
Destiny was caught off guard by James's question
"M-My guardian hasn't developed yet but I'm trying my hardest! All I can do for now is create celestial spears and buff my teammates!"
Destiny said with a timid voice, James was visibly disappointed
"Next..."
He said, the next person to enter was Caroline, James didn't show any interest in Caroline but it was his job to at least see her powers, James then placed his feet on the table and relaxed in his chair
"Come on devil! Show me something worth my time"
He said with a smug smile, Caroline then let out a small laugh
"Who do you think you are disrespecting fool?"
Caroline said as he released a massive mana wave that everyone felt, even those outside the room, James quickly removed his shoes from the table and sat properly, he was very alarmed about her next move
"Good boy!"
Caroline said as she smiled
"Caroline please show us some of your skills so we can progress!"
Kamira said anxiously, she didn't want this report to turn out into a battle between her father and Caroline
"Fine! Here I go!"
Caroline said as he created a small purple disk-shaped attack on her hand, she then launched the attack at a wall, and the attack stuck to the wall after spinning with a massive speed it exploded destroying the wall
"Satisfied?"
Caroline asked, James was incredibly mad about Caroline's reactions, so before she could leave he touched her shoulder
"I don't like the way you act..."
before he knew it James was kicked at the other side of the room
"I'm not as forgiving as Luck so don't pull shitty stuff like this to me ever again!"
Caroline said with a monstrous look, after doing that James's companions surrounded Caroline and were about to attack but they were stopped by their boss
"IF YOU ATTACK YOU WILL DIE!"
he screamed, both of his companions jumped away from Caroline, and as they were in the air they saw that Caroline was ready to kill them, she had prepared the same disk attack on both of her hands
"Just bring Luck here to end this meeting!"
James said as he stood up, he was unharmed by Caroline's attack, finally, it was Luck's turn, he entered the room and was surprised to see the destruction that was caused by Caroline
"I'm sorry about this destruction! You see devils act like animals so it shouldn't be a very big surprise"
James told Luck, he had noticed that Luck was looking around confused
"I felt a wave of mana but it didn't look like you fought"
Luck said, James laughed
"Oh no we didn't fight! She simply showed us her power, now it's your turn so give it your best"
James said with a smile, Luck could easily tell that something happened since he saw that James's suit wasn't in the best condition
"After our last meeting I managed to develop at least one power from all of the elements, I can now enhance my hands and weapons with a green aura, this power comes from the celestial element, and this green aura allows me to place something like a poison inside someone, this poison doesn't kill but it does damage, about the element of creation, I can create almost anything I need and they can vary in size, about the space element, I can change my gravitational pull allowing me to fly and accelerate faster, and as for my time element I can use it to see things slower..."
As Luck was presenting his power James charged at him, he tried to punch Luck but he was able to dodge the attack because of his time element, Luck then used his destruction element to enhance his body with electricity, he then attacked James but he was able to catch the attack with his hand
"Not bad kid, normally you wouldn't have been able to dodge it but you somehow did, that proves that you are ready so you can also leave"
James said as he turned around, he then started walking towards the table
"We are not done here until you tell me about Hope!"
What Luck said surprised everyone inside the room...
