Going to his room, Fausto was able to calm down. He was wondering if Leonora was always this crafty. Feeling his heart pounding like crazy, it was a strange feeling that Fausto had never imagined having.

  “I wonder if you should write a book because many guys would love to be in your situation.” Faust jokes.

  “Shut up...” He then went to bed. But before he did, he felt something as he then opened the lights. “What do you want?” In just like magic, Karma appeared out of the shadows.

  “Dang, I thought I could get you.” Now Karma was invading his privacy. Really, he thought, guess there is no such thing as personal space. Ironically, Fausto was on the other side of it. So guess he shouldn't be saying.

  “You need a few years before you can,” Fausto said as he sat down. “What do you want?”

  “I want you to teach me more!!!”

  “And look how far you've gotten.” Being sarcastic for once, Fausto wondered how greedy she was to learn. Can't she be more patient? Leonora just started to work out and she was taking her time with development. Karma on the other hand was the opposite, who can never put the brakes on.

  “It was only a few days, so come on!!” Karma said while begging. Fausto didn't want to, but seeing that it would get her off her back did give a benefit. Then again, getting caught here would also be bad. He wanted a break as Leonora really exhausted him.

  “No, I'm good. I need some rest.”

  “Oh…..then should I tell everyone that you came out of the closet. This alarmed him as to how she found out. Not only Leonora but Karma found out. Fausto felt like, after this, he would have to train as he was now thinking he had been slacking on his training.

  “How??”

  “I told you I've been practising so if you don't teach me...Then I will tell Leo..” Karma said blackmailing him. Fausto then blamed Faust for this.

  “And this is the woman you like…...Fine I will.” Criticising Faust, he had to give in to Faust's future girlfriend. Faust, though was actually rather proud as Karma was thinking more like him.

  “Yes!!!” Karma cheered as she was excited. Fausto then closed the lights. Shutting the lights off instantly opening the lights. In that instant, he then changed outfits. He did it again and he had a samurai costume. Then he did it again with a new sailor suit. Finally, he was able to change back into his doctors outfit.

  “....So is this instant modeling????” Karma was wondering as she wasn’t that impressed. But Fausto explained as he pulled objects from his pocket. Like magic, he pulled out a sword from a hat. "A magic show?” Fausto was going to refute that before thinking about it…. it does seem like that.

  “Listen, the shadow isn't just a place where you can warp and teleport into; it is also a place where you can store and summon things. If you use it right, it can come in handy during combat.”

  “I figure but how does it relate to combat? Changing clothes seemed to be better for espionage, right?” Karma was thinking.

  “Because in battle against diviners, they naturally have superior abilities when it comes to fighting. We don't have ways to go at them besides using our shadow and speed. Because of that, we use weapons.” He then pulled out large rocket launchers before pulling back inside. After that, he summoned a few knives before swapping them out with guns.

  “But how do I do that???” Though it sounds convenient, she didn’t know how to do it. Also thinking about it, she really doesn’t have a lot of weapons or anything she could use to fight. Thankfully, Fausto, knowing what she was thinking, went close to her as she then shy away a bit. It wasn't till their shadows were connected that Karma realised that it wasn’t anything complicated. In an instant, something happened as it seemed the shadows were interacting with each other. Karma then instantly felt a big migraine as though a large bag just landed on her head. Like a computer, she felt like she was downloading items like crazy. Images were popping one thing after another, not letting her any time to process what was given to her. It was so much that she looked like she was about to faint from it. She was overfried at this point.

  “Open your shadow.'' Without letting her take a break, Fausto wanted her to grab something out of her shadow. Listening, she realized that there were a bunch of things in her shadow. Using her shadow, she was able to have an automated machine gun pop out of her shadow.

  “Wow thats cool!!” A never-ending surprise, Karma was amazed by the shadows' utility. It was as though she was carrying a large backpack wherever she pleased. Recalling all the things that Fausto had given her, it was like the size of a city…...There was even a car there. A nice flashy white suv.

  “I transferred some of my stuff to yours.” Karma then looks at all the things. It was amazing as she didn't expect that he would hold a mountain of arsenal. It looked like she was carrying her own army under her feet.

  “Bam and whoosh.” Karma was instantly playing with it as she was making one thing appear from another. She was even tempted to get the car out but she stopped. Noticing something out of the ordinary, Karma was looking around the pile to notice one specific item. One of which Fausto accidentally left in there. It was the red diamond. The payment he received from the Liberties. Decorating the diamond the other day, he accidentally sent it with the rest of the stuff.

  “Oh..” He was going to say something but unfortunately, Karma took it the wrong way. Way off the mark.

  “Is..it..for me!!????” Karma instantly got excited.

  “Uhm..” Fausto was trying to give a reason but then Faust of course, had to say something.

  “Say yes !!!! Say Yes!!!” Faust was begging because this was a perfect opportunity. And seeing how she was happy, Faust wanted her to have it to get a win.

  “Yes…” Before he finished his words, Karma give him a big bear hug. A hug that Faust wished he had gotten.

  “Thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!” Karma was holding him so tightly. It was so nice to finally be given something of high value, she thought. For so long, she wanted to know she was being treated just as much as Leonora. This was showing he really did care for her. She didn’t think that Fausto would give her such beautiful jewelry. Though the ribbon was nice, having jewelry would always have its sparkle.

  “You…You're welcome...” Fausto said as he was struggling to get her off of her. “Now let's continue our training.”

  “Training? We can do that tomorrow!!! I need to show this to Leonora!!” Karma instantly left the room, holding on the red diamond as she left. Fausto then got up as he was wondering.

  “First she wants to train and then she doesn’t. Women are really hard to figure out these days.”

  “And yet you have two of them. Congrats.” Faust annoyingly said which Fausto seem to not be able to understand. But, wondering about Karma, she really has potential. He recalled it wasn’t easy to summon weapons that fast. It took him years just to be able to summon them on a whim. This showed that if he doesn’t train as well, he might be overpowered by her very soon. Stretching, Fausto then decided that he would need to train. Feeling a sense of competitive spirit, he thought tonight was going to be an intense one. While that was going on, the two girls were in Leonora’s room as they for some reason, had a great time doing some karaoke and dancing. Both seem to have had a rather happy night, with each getting a gift they both were able to enjoy.
