Persis woke up 2 hours after Eta and Henry returned.
He was in the medbay with 4 beds. Persis was on the bed next to the exit.
Persis looked around to see if anyone else was there with him. There was nobody, but just him there, then he saw something unusual on the shelf next to his bed.
Persis slid over to that side and took it in his hand. It was a black box. He then lifted the lid after checking all the sides. It was a pair of eyeglasses. He then heard the door slide up, So he looked to see who it was. It was Eta leaning on the wall with his arms crossed. He had lots of bandages wrapped around his body. Eta had a smile looking at him.
Eta, "How are you doing, kiddo?"
Persis, "I don't feel any pain!"
Eta, "That's good!"
Persis, "What is this?", as he showed the black box open with a pair of eyeglasses init.
Eta ignored that, "Ready to realise your potential?"
Persis was confused, "Huh?"
Eta giggled as he went up to him, touched him with his palm and teleported away from there with Persis.
That was when Alia came in. She looked behind, "He probably might be up, but even then, let's inject him with it-", she then looked over to Persis's bed and saw that he wasn't there.
The doctor behind her came, "Umm. Where is the patient?", Alia gestured she didn't know where.
Meanwhile, Eta had Persis over his right shoulder in an empty room in white colour.
This room was the biggest in the Quarter other than the living quarters. This room was located in the middle of the Quarter. The medbay was a floor above the basement of the Quarter, 3 Floors below the living quarters, and 12 Floors below the room they are now. The Quarter has 24 Floors.
Persis, "What is this place?"
Eta, "This is where you will be training with me!"
Persis, "Training? Train for what?"
Eta, "I heard Shivan came here to take you, but he decided to refrain for now! SO! I decided I will bargain 3 more years to added with it", and put Persis down.
Persis stood there silent.
Eta, "I want you to see the world after your training", as he showed his right hand to Persis, hoping he shake it.
Persis started to tear down hearing Eta, and he shoved his hand aside and went on to hug him instead.
Eta was taken aback when Persis pushed his hand away, but he was pleasantly surprised when Persis hugged him warmly with a smile.
For Persis, Eta felt like he was Glen in another life.
That was when someone entered the room.
Eta looked back to the entrance, "Hey, Juno! Did you come here to train too?"
Juno looked so glum, "Leave me be!"
Eta had a sad face, "What's with him? Rude", and then looked down at Persis, who was still weeping on him.
Eta said, "Come on, Persis, We have to get to training!"
Persis wasn't crying anymore but delaying the time. Persis thought he paused the time.
That was when Persis noticed the time wasn't pausing anymore.
Persis, "How am I still in the time?"
Eta was expecting the question, "It is the eyeglasses!"
Persis did feel like there was something in between his eyebrows. He got away from the hug to check it out and saw that it was the same eyeglasses from the black box.
Persis, "By the way, Are you and Henry the only strongest here in the Golden Valley?"
Eta looked confused. He didn't seem to understand the question.
Juno answered on his behave, "Eta does not understand if you ask like that. He is proud of every single one of our strengths and believes in it!"
Eta, "Did you mean power-level wise, Kiddo?"
Persis nodded yes.
Eta then faced Juno and pointed at him.
Eta, "He is 3rd Strongest in the Golden Valley if that is what you are asking?"
Juno, "*tsk* Whatever!"
Juno then came closer to Eta, "Can I have a spar?"
Eta smiled, "Sure", as he patted Persis's shoulders.
Eta then looked at Persis, "Watch this spar. This could be like training", and he looked up at the room's ceiling and said, "S1!"
Persis wiped his tears away with his arms and started to sniff.
Persis nodded yes while he covered his face with his right hand so Eta and Juno wouldn't see his eyes.
Persis looked around and then saw the room completely changed from what it was to a ground with blue colour on one side of it on which Eta stood and yellow on the other side where Juno stood with a cyan line dividing them into 2. The walls had both their names on each of their sides. The ceiling had C1 written on it.
Persis was fascinated just at the sight of it, "WOW!", as he took his hand off his face.
Eta saw that Persis was fascinated and smiled, genuinely happy for him.
Juno was annoyed, "Can we start already? I am here too!"
Eta looked back at Juno, "Then I can start?!", just as a white ball was behind Juno that Eta was holding using his bead.
Eta, "WA-EH!"
The white ball was then launched at Juno.
Juno, "*tsk* Do I look weak?", as he looked at Eta and started to torch up.
Just before the ball could reach him, it disintegrated.
Eta, "Hmm! Great, I am glad you got better!"
Eta looked happy about Juno's flame.
Juno, "Of course, I would have gotten stronger", while not looking at Eta as he was embarrassed because he was happy when he heard him say that.
Eta, "Alright then, let's begin!"
Eta said that with a competitive smile.
Persis observed with excitement as Eta and Juno prepared for their spar. The anticipation in the air was palpable, and Persis's curiosity and eagerness grew stronger.
Eta and Juno knelt on one foot to place both their hands on the ground and then got up with 5 balls on either hand of theirs, that is 10. They were attached one by one downwards.
Juno turned all of them into fireballs, and Eta put each of his in separate bubbles and then launched them at each other.
Eta, while launching them, "A-AH!"
And Juno, "DT-s!"
All the balls clashed with each other, and the force remained balanced till one of their hands forward with the palm facing the clashing.
Eta had his left hand up, "WA-EH!"
And Juno, with his right hand, "Hell's Pulse!"
From Eta's side, a rainbow-coloured beam and Juno's side, a magenta-coloured flame, clashed along with the balls.
The final result, Juno was pushed to the wall behind him, and the balls bounced off the wall in different directions. Eta stood his ground with his arms crossed, giggled, "You performed well, Juno!"
Juno smiled while defeated.
Eta went to him, picked him on his shoulders, looked at Persis, "I will be back now!"
Eta then teleported and returned without Juno on his shoulders in a second.
Persis was shocked that it just took him a second.
Meanwhile, Alia had just reached the Chief's Office and went to check the cams and saw Juno was on Persis's bed. She immediately rushed over to check on him.
As Alia reached the door and it slid open, she asked in worry, "How are you here? What happened to you?"
Juno, "I challenged Eta", and he said it calmly.
Alia placed her right hand on her forehead, "Not again!"
