The scientist.

The room is quiet, Athena, Teresa, and Hwan are thinking about what Norman told them. Athena starts clapping her hands, as Henry the butler comes from another corridor on the left of the couch, he comes with a plate with one red drink. He gives it to Athena and she starts walking to his office, but before she enters the door, she tells Henry to talk with the young prince. The butler seats in an elegant chair as he looks at Norman and starts to smoke with a cigarette he had in his pocket, and he throws the box of cigarettes, to the boy.

Norman looks to the box and declines it, stating that he does not have the age to do that.

Henry: This cigarette brand was the favorite of your father when I was his butler, he made me look for it every day.

Norman: You knew my father?

Henry: Not only knew, but he was also family to me. After the war was ended, he had to abandon you, so he lived his last days with me and the young lady. He was a good man, and I am certain that he would be the best father for you, he cried every day thinking about you.

Norman: I am sorry for doubting you.

The young prince starts to cry and tries to hide his tears. The butler picks one of his handkerchiefs to clean the boy's face.

Yuki didn't comfort the boy, he was taken by thoughts of what happened to his uncle, almost like he was scared to be in the same situation as the prince. The boy felt lonely at that time, he never met his fathers, and the only family he has is not there to help him. So he remembers a file that was in the hidden room at his house, and what Teresa told him about it, so he concludes that Kakeru knows about something.

He walks to the corridor and stops at Kakeru bedroom door, his hands reach the door handle, but before he can open he starts to sweat a lot, Yuki does not know what is holding him back, so he gives up, his body is trembling like he just escaped a death sentence, and barely can standstill. Suddenly, two girls with maid dresses, the left one is white, with long straight blonde hair, she is wearing big boots and an eye patch on her right eye, the left one is red, big and rounded, she seems to be twenty years old having 160 cm tall, only being 20 cm shorter than Yuki, the other one seems to be the same age and height of the blonde one, she is black, with a short curly black hair, her eye patch is in the left eye, the other one is blue being small and thin, she looks to be calmer than the other one. The blonde one starts to talk in a happy tone.

?: My name is Sara! And her is...

But the other one does not speak anything.

Sara: You should say your name to him now! We rehearse this a thousand times!

?: Whatever...

Sara: Well... We are maids and Athena ordered us to help you!

?: My name is Nathalie by the way.

Sara: You should have said this earlier! Now it is not the time for that... How can we help you, Yuki?

Nathalie: You can call me Nat.

Nat smirks as she is making this on purpose to irritate Sara. But before Sara complains, The boy faints right on their front.

Nathalie: He doesn't need anything, let's go

Sara: I think we should at least take him to his bed.

Somewhere really far away from there, a woman appearing to be in her thirties, wearing glasses, a white coat, black pantyhoses with a blue dress. Her hair is a light tone of blue, it is straight and long. She is in a brown chair looking at some videos of the wielders fighting in Hankai, but she only has the part where they were on the rooftop of the building. Suddenly a fat and tall man, with grey hair and smoking a cigarette, wearing military clothes enters the room.

Scientist: I told you to knock on the door before you enter Roger!

Roger: Call me "Coronel" Roger. Did you make any progress?

The man starts to look at the room as he smells a horrible odor coming from under a grey sheet. The man uncovers part of the sheet, and he sees a destroyed woman's face with red hair.

Roger: Why the hell is Mariel's body in here?

Scientist: You should thank me, I had to grab every single member of her and bring them here.

Roger: Just tell me, what did you discover.

Scientist: First of all: Our informant was right, they just got one more wielder.

Roger: Fuck...

Scientist: Second of all: I think I understood more of the ability of each one. Hermes can pass through any kind of material, but this ability can only be activated for 3 seconds, and can only be used at least three times in a row, his superspeed can only be used for at least two seconds, and while in it his body becomes stronger resisting even a shot of a 10mm bullet. The other girl I saw from the satellite is impossible to know, we don't have enough footage. And our biggest problem, Kakeru or like you call it, subject 5068, can control and manipulate matter, he can build a bridge from the concrete of an old building, or even make the matter of a human expanded itself making him explode like what he did to your soldier.

Roger: How can we stop this beast?

Scientist: We can't do anything, he knows of our strategies and he is the successful experiment of the scientist "Akira Nagisa".

Roger: Then discover something we can do to stop this monster!

Scientist: There is something we can use in our favor. The boy he took from Mariel is the nephew of Akira, the man he killed. If we tell him what happened we can make him come to our side.

Roger: Fantastic! When we have the chance I will make an operation to bring that boy to our side!

The general looks happy, but before he leaves the room, the scientist says that she has one last piece of advice.

Scientist: I was wrong about that boy's power, he does not just reflect attacks, he sends them to somewhere else.

Roger: How can you confirm that?

The woman stands up and takes her right metal arm and grabs a bullet inside a glass.

Scientist: This was the bullet that was in Mariel's body after the bullet came from the portal of that boy, it is still burning, reaching exactly 134 degrees Celsius.

Roger: I will remember that...

The man starts to leave the room, but before he left the room, the scientist calls him one more time.

Scientist: I know that I shouldn't say anything about this, but are you relying on an informant that you didn't even saw the face of him or her?

Roger: He was right, and that's is enough.

Scientist: Well... This is not my problem, but if the headquarters of NMG know about that, you will have to leave your position.

Roger ignores her and leaves the room, quiet and anxious about this whole thing.
