Chapter 24

#------#------#------#------#------#

Currently, I'm on my way to the west city, why, you ask, well because it's finally time to start the scientist route.

I have some things with me that I want to study and recreate to my taste. The most important of them is the spaceship that I want to create to explore the cosmos.

So, right now, Dr Brief is the best option I have to learn from, and Bulma comes free in that package, So instead of just one, I will have two of the world's best Scientists to learn from.

Oh, by the way, yesterday when Goku woke up, rather than his tail that I pulled out, he was angry at me because I did not fight him properly. So I just cooked a feast for him, and boy he instantly calmed down, such a simple guy Goku is.

Hmm, while we were talking, it seems I have reached my location.

"Finally, after two whole years, I am back at Capsule Corp" I mumbled as I reached in front of the Capsule Corp.

"Now let's go greet them," I said and landed in front of the entrance.

After landing I inspected the black suit I was wearing for the meeting. Finding no problem I took a deep breath and turned towards the right side, and pressed the button on the intercom to notify about my arrival.

.

[Beep]

After the sound of a beep, a robotic voice replied from the intercom.

{Who is this?}

"Hello, my name is Arlic, and I am here to have an important meeting with Dr Brief,"

{Hmm, but my database doesn't show any meetings scheduled for today,}

{Are you sure that you have a meeting scheduled with Master today?}

"Um, I don't"

{Then I am sorry I can't let you meet with Master,}

{Have a good day}

"Wait, I have one more thing to say,"

{Please hurry, I have other things to do as well,}

"Please give him a message in my stead that I have an alien spaceship with me,"

{Very well, I shall send your message to him,}

{Please wait until he replies,}

"Okay, I'll wait,"

With that, I started waiting for a reply from the intercom.

.

[5 Minutes later]

As I was waiting for the reply, I heard the sound of an electric door opening. I looked towards the Capsule Corp building and saw its main door opening, and from it came out a short, stocky man wearing a white lab coat with a blue undershirt and black pants. He has bluish-grey hair and a large grey moustache, he is wearing a pair of large rectangular glasses and is smoking a cigarette. The man who just came out, Dr Brief, walked toward me and looked at me from top to bottom.

"Are you from the Government?" Dr Brief asked and I awkwardly shook my head.

"Then are you perhaps from some Big Firm who wants to have a partnership with me?" Dr Brief again asked me.

"No, I am not here on behalf of any organisation, I am here on my own," I replied.

"Hmm, really," Dr Brief said in disbelief, "If you are not from the Government or some Big Firm, then why are you wearing a black suit?"

"Hein," I got dumbfounded at his question.

"Don't only the agents from the government or big firms wear black suits?" He asked again.

"No, Dr Brief, people who go to meetings also wear black suits, it depends on the taste of a person for what he wears for the meeting," I explained to him.

"Ohhh, so it's like that, now it all makes sense why so many people that come to meet me wear black suits," Dr Brief said as he slapped a fist on his palm in realisation.

"Wow, you're really an intelligent guy, why don't you come inside so we can talk while enjoying some drinks," Dr Brief said and turned around to go inside.

With a sigh, I followed behind Dr Brief inside his house. As I entered I saw there was a big desk on the right side and a robot was working on it, this desk robot was most probably the one I talked to on the intercom. I kept following Dr Brief until we reached a big door, Dr Brief walked towards the side and entered the password to open the door.

.

[Wheeze]

The door opened and on the other side was a huge dome, and inside this huge dome was a big forest-like park, which was filled with different kinds of animals such as cats, dogs, and even dinosaurs. At the centre of the park was a big fountain, and to the left of the fountain, was an outdoor kitchen with various tables set around the fountain to eat. The kitchen even had two cook robots to cook food.

"Please come inside, this is a small family garden we have to keep all of our pets," Dr Brief said and walked inside.

'Small? You think that this place is small,' I got bewildered.

I followed him inside and the door to the garden closed behind me. We were walking towards the fountain when I heard the sound of a cat.

.

[Meow]

Dr Brief stopped in his tracks and looked at a bush towards the side, I followed his vision and saw a small black kitten coming out of a bush.

"Ahh, so there you are Scratch, I had been looking for you for almost an hour now," Dr Brief said as he picked up the small kitten and then placed it on his shoulder.

"Haha, sorry for the stop, before you came I was busy looking for this guy, he's very mischievous, so looking after him is a pretty tough job," Dr Brief said with a laugh.

"Come, let's go," Dr Brief said as he started walking again.

We resumed walking and soon reached the fountain.

"Come take a seat," Dr Brief said as he sat at a table near the kitchen, I nodded and sat opposite him.

As we sat down one of the robots came to us and asked, {What would you like to order, Sir?}

Dr Brief thought for a second and replied, "I'll have some whiskey," then looked towards me and asked, "What do you want to drink? I have every type of alcohol in my collection,"

"Oh, Dr Brief, I am a minor, I can't drink alcohol, so I'll have a cola," I replied.

"Sure," Dr Brief shrugged and the robot returned to the kitchen.

"Hmm, now, tell me more about suits, which type of suit is worn on which occasion?" Dr Brief asked me seriously and took out a notebook from his lab coat.

"Ahem, Dr Brief, I think we should talk about what I came here for," I said with a sigh.

"Hmmm, I see, sure…. and what did you come here for?" Dr Brief asked me.

I almost shouted in rage at his question but took a deep breath to control myself and said calmly, "Did you not get my message from your assistant robot,"

"Eh, did you send one? I immediately came out as it informed me that someone came to see me," Dr Brief explained.

"Well, yes, I did send one, but it doesn't matter anymore, let me tell you why I came here," I said.

I took a deep breath and straightened myself, then gave him a beautiful smile and said, "Dr Brief, I wish to learn under you, please take me as your assistant,"

"Sure, I'll teach you," Dr Brief said nonchalantly.

"Huh, just like that, no interview, no questions?" I got confused.

"I mean I already know that you're quite an intelligent guy, so I don't see any problem in taking you as an assistant," Dr Brief replied.

I nodded and was about to say something when I heard a voice from behind, "Dear, you didn't tell me anything about someone visiting today,"

"Oh, Panchy, come here and meet my new friend and assistant…. Er, what is your name?" Dr Brief asked.

I again took a deep breath and turned around to answer, "My name is Arlic, Ma'am, and I'm 16 years old,"

Panchy, Dr Brief's wife, has a thin frame and blonde hair and is wearing a blue dress. Her eyes are always closed, but it seems like she can still see everything.

"Oh my, you're only two years older than my Bulma, and you already are a Government agent, you are such a talented person," Panchy said with a smile.

"Oh, Panchy he's not a Government agent," Dr Brief said to her.

"Oh my, really, then why the black suit?" Panchy said while tilting her head sidewards.

I once again took a deep breath to calm myself down, "That's it, I'm changing the colour," I said and waved my hand over my suit and it started changing its colour from black to grey with checks.

"Oh dear, is that magic?" Both Panchy and Dr Brief were shocked at the thing that I had just done.

Panchy was so shocked that she even opened her eyes, and they had a shade of beautiful sparkling blue.

Panchy hurriedly came toward the table, and sat beside Dr Brief, "Arlic dear, are you a magician?" she asked me excitedly, and I nodded.

"Wow, then can you do that Rabbit in the Hat magic, I love that magic," she requested happily and grabbed my hands.

I wanted to shout in rage, I wanted to scream at her that I am a god f#cking damn combat mage, not a street side fake magician, but… with the kind of situation I'm in, I have to leave a good impression on them, so I have to complete their request.

I sighed and raised my left hand and conjured a magician's top hat on it, then brought it closer to myself, put my right hand inside it, grabbed something and then pulled out a big stuffed bunny.

Panchy started clapping and Dr Brief examined everything with fascination.

"Here, this is for you," I said and gave the stuffed bunny to Panchy.

"Oh my, it's so cute and fluffy, thank you, Arlic dear," Panchy said happily

"Hmm, this is interesting," Dr Brief said as he inspected the stuffed bunny in Panchy's hands.

"Arlic dear, what more types of magic can you perform?" Panchy asked me.

I smirked and joined my palms together, and then slowly started separating them, and in between them, different elements started forming, like fire, ice, air, water, lightning, etc.

"Omashirou," Dr Brief mumbled as he saw my magic.

"Oh my, you can control all of the elements, Arlic dear, are you the Avatar?" Panchy inquired with a smile.

"Eh, Avatar?" I repeated in confusion.

"Avatar of God, as you know God can do anything, so are you the Avatar of God?" Panchy asked me seriously.

"Hah, No, I am not the Avatar of God, I am his student though," I answered.

"Oh really, it's a pity then, I already had some ideas for a shrine of you in my mind," Panchy said while shaking her head.

"Hmm, Arlic, did you say you're God's student," Dr Brief asked me with a very serious face.

"Yes, I am," I nodded.

"So can you create things out of nothing?" Dr Brief asked as he stared into my eyes.

"Uh, yeah, I can, but only non-living things?" I answered.

"Wonderful," Dr Brief let out a happy shout, "Please come with me," Dr Brief said then grabbed my hand and started pulling me with him.

We came out of the garden, and then directly entered Dr Brief's laboratory, where Dr Brief immediately took me to his desk.

"Please help me fix this," Dr Brief said and pointed at the object at his table.

"You want me to fix this?" I asked him.

"Yes, and if you can't fix this, then please create me a new one," Dr Brief requested.

"So, you're asking me, student of God, to fix this glass plate for you," I said while pointing at the broken revolving glass plate of a microwave placed on Dr Brief's table.

"Yes, please, it broke this morning and due to it I'm not able to reheat last night's delicious pizza," Dr Brief said with a sad face.

I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose, then took a deep breath, and turned towards the desk. I joined the two pieces of the glass piece and then placed my hand on top of it, in moments the crack disappeared and the glass plate looked good as new.

"Here, now it's as good as new," I said as I handed the glass plate back to Dr Brief.

"Wow, you fixed it in no time, as expected of God's student," Dr Brief said with awe.

"Oh Arlic dear, your parents must be so proud of you, you can fix household items in a jiffy," Panchy said with a smile.

I sighed and said, "I don't have parents, I am an orphan,"

"Oh dear," hearing my words, Panchy got shocked and tears came out of her eyes.

She then immediately took me in a tight hug and said, "I am sorry for saying such hurtful words Arlic dear, please forgive me,"

She then released me and placed her hands on my cheeks, "You poor child, I can't even imagine how hard life has been for you up till now,"

"Dear, I have made a decision, such an amazing child should not live on his own in this harsh world," Panchy said and wiped her tears, "Let us adopt him,"

"Hein,"

"Yes, Panchy, you're right, an amazing and talented kid such as Arlic, should receive everything he deserves," Dr Brief said while nodding, "I support your decision, let's adopt him,"

"Hein,"

"Yay, thank you for supporting my decision, dear," Panchy said happily.

"Heiinn,"

"I will immediately contact someone to start the process of adoption," Dr Brief said and picked up the phone.

"Heeeeeiiiiiinnnnnnn,"
