As nighttime fell, his eyes changed as Fausto appeared. Sunset, and it was time for his training. But as the sunset happened, this is where the trouble started. Putting two fingers up, it seemed weird before a knife soon slid between two fingers, stopping it before even reached his eyes. This was the part of her training as well, Karma could finally use her ability compared to before. She learned to use the surrounding shadows as a way to attack from multiple angles. And by only showing parts of the body and not every part, it allows her to protect the rest of the body while allowing her to attack without showing herself. In one direction, there were knives being thrown and at another angle were large axes. But Fausto dodges them without even moving. He just kept tilting and angling his body while throwing the weapons back into the shadows. It would be bad if they damaged the furniture.

  “Dang.” Karma said as she went on a downward strike. But with his fingers, he stopped the blade as he pulled it down before forcing Karma back into her shadow.

  “Still needs more work,” Fausto noted. As he took a step back as several spears sprouted out of the ground. He kept sliding back as more spears appeared in front of him, before then sidestepping as more weapons sprouted from behind where he was just at. Adding on, several more weapons popped from everywhere as tables started to shoot out swords, curtains sprouted arrows, TV shot out maces and beds shot out shurikens. No matter what direction Karma was using, every weapon was used to hit Fausto.

  As he kept sidestepping and sliding his feet, eventually looking around, he realised he was stuck. Seeing the opportunity, using a claymore she swung a downward slash as she realised that she had victory. However, just as she was able to, bing in midair, she stopped for some reason. While at that time, Fausto didn’t move at all as he just remained there.

  “Why can’t I move!!!” Karma said as she was struggling but the more she moved, the more it hurt. She struggled, but Fausto remained still as he was waiting. “Hey, help men!!!!” She kept struggling for a while before Fausto answered.

  “Haa…..you still have a lot ot learn…” Fausto said in disappointment. Shaking his head as he wished he didn't have to deal with this the moment he comes out of the mind. Whats worse is looking at karma dangling in air like this was also kinda awkward too.

  “Eehh..what..do you..mean?” As she continued to struggle. She wasn’t even noticing anything for awhile. As Fausto then got his hand out of his pocket. Looking at his hands, she then noticed. “Wires??”

  “Haa…finally you notice??? I thought you were blind?”

  “But when??” puzzled as she didn’t realise it during this whole fight.

  “The time when the fight started,” Faust said as he had already hooked the string on the dagger when she first used it. Then, as he kept sending things out, he connected all the wires. One at a time he was slowly moving the strings as he was sidestepping from one place to the next. Eventually he created his own web that he controlled.

  “When did..?”

  “That is what you are going to need to work on for now.” In a quick nudge, all the wires were let loose as he let Karma fall down.

  “I thought I had you..” Pouting again, Fausto then decided to teach her as it seemed like she was solely focused on winning rather than learning.

  “You have strengthened physical attributes but you have strong senses as well. Remember that in battle, you need to use everything.”

  “Ok but how will I be able to do that?” Fausto then pulled something out as he closed his lights. Soon, there were several targets on the ceiling and walls. There were even things on the floor that was different, stepping platforms all at different angles and heights. Grabbing a bunch of darts, he handed it to Karma.

  “All these things will send a sound. One will sound to tell you where to be, and the other will tell you which target you need to hit.” Making it rather childish, Karma didn’t think that it would be that difficult. In fact, she thought it was a rather trivial task to do.

  “Easy.” Karma said as she was going to use her hands. But Fausto then stopped her. He then grabbed the ribbon as she took it off. “What are you doing?” She blushed. But he said words that weren’t words of love. Well it could have been if it was put in the right situation. It was dark they were alone. Yet Fausto of course think nothing of it.

  “Blindfolded.” As Karma widens her eyes to see darkness. Karma then tried to see through the darkness, only to be blocked by Fausto using the ribbon. Causing Karma to be blinded in the literal sense.

  “This is hard, there is no way I can do it!!! It's impossible.” Karma complained as she was almost tripping on the table. But Fausto then took it off as he blindfolded himself. Using his sense, he remained quiet as he started the exercise. Once the sound started it was like watching a movie as he was elegantly moving from one place of the room to the next while also hitting the targets seamlessly. With the targets beeping incrementally faster, it didn’t seem like Fausto was struggling at all. Even when there was furniture and tables in the way it didn’t hinder him in the least. When he stopped he didn’t miss a single target.

  “It's impossible?” Karma in awe couldn’t believe that just happened. She was starting to see how strong Fausto was. “Well for me, there is no way I can do it!!!” She blindfolded herself again, but she played with the darts. It didn't work. She still missed.

  “Focus on your other senses. Use them to the best of your abilities.” Fausto said. “Until you get 100 percent accuracy you won’t be learning anything else.”

  “Seriously!! But this is hard!!!” Not really reflecting her age, she pouted as she stomp on the ground, thinking that she wouldn’t be able to accomplish it. Knowing it might seem like a tall task, Fausto gave her some words of encouragement.

  “You are already physically strong. If you continue to follow this way, there is no way you will succeed in the future. This is important for you. Using your other senses will teach you to use more than just speed. It will teach you patience, anticipation, and timing. All things that you lack.” Fausto pointed out. In terms of physical prowess, Karma was so much better than Faust in every aspect. Karma, however can never use her speed because Faust always used his surroundings to catch Karma off guard. So this training will develop her ability to pay attention to her surroundings while also creating variety in her attacks.

  “But….” Karma was moping like a kid. She didn’t seem to think that was necessary at all.

  “How about I help?” Faust said. Hearing that Fausto couldn’t help but think of something wrong about this.

  "No matter what you think, it's bad.” Usually, Faust had a dirty mind and would always ruin Fausto. Taking his advice was a fool's gambit.

  “Come on, it's a good one.” Faust humorously said but the tone was rather disturbing for Fausto, who never liked going along with Faust’s idea.

  “No.”

  "If you do it fast, you get time to play a game…” Knowing who he is dealing with, Faust knows that Fausto’s desire was to play games rather than actually train. Though Fausto doesn’t mind training, he occasionally loves the thrill of gaming all night.

  “Okay tell me!!!” Fausto got bought out in an instant. Karma in frustration, was getting irritated as she couldn’t get a clue at all. Just as she started, she already tripped over nothing!! She was about to give up before she heard a whisper.

  “We can do some surgery together.”.

  “I got this!!” Karma said as she instantly got the energy of a thousand men. Seeing that she was active like this was a positive sign because Faust knew that motivation would always increase the speed of their development. Fausto quickly backed away from the room as he let her do her training. Fausto was confused about how that motivated her, but Faust knew that Karma really is a kind person who really loves surgery. Wanting to improve her surgical skills has always been something she cared about so that she can care for more people. It did bother him because Karma is more interested in studying than romance. Something that Faust knew all to well.

  “Now off to gaming for me!!!!” Fausto said in excitement as he charged straight to his room. Little did he know he was getting a rather familiar partner to join in on his fun. Fausto never thought that he would be dealing with this many problems with people. Especially women. Something Fausto still very much lacks and never seems to understand.

  One of the bright sides of living with such a prestigious family is that they get really really nice things. Everything in the building is top of the class. From the bed to the furniture, everything is quality made. Especially the most beautiful thing of all. The computer!!!! Fausto was so excited as he turned it on, as he saw how amazing the graphics were. Low key he wished he had more time to play games. Unfortunately, he is always busy. Then again, if he trains sometimes without Karma, she would always say…

  “If you even think about it. I will say something to Leonora.” Hearing that would give him chills, as Leonora has been messing with him as of late. This was causing problems for him as he wanted distance from her. Just as Karma can’t deal with Faust, Fausto can’t deal with Leonora. It was a rather interesting cycle that was such an ordeal. But no worries, as Leonora was in her room resting so that meant for the rest of the night he could…..invite.

  Just as he got on to his gaming account, he was immediately invited. And guess who it was that invited him. Wanting to leave before he got a message saying Come on, let's play together. Thinking it was better to leave the game, she then messaged that she would go to his room if he left. So without any options, he joined.

  “Hey!! Let's go!! Let's get some wins!!!” Leonora screamed into the microphone. This almost blew him off the chair.

  “Yeah…lets get..those wins.” Fausto quietly moaned as he wanted to be alone. How they both wanted to play is such a bad coincidence. Despite not wanting to play with her, they actually showed they had really good synergy. It was fun as they were so good at playing together. They actually went for a few hours without stopping and both were commenting on each other's play. However it eventually stopped as something else went on.

  “Uhm..Leonora??”

  “Yes??”

  “Why are you moving everything here?” Fausto was noting that she was playing right next to him.

  “Because..we can better communicate. I think we are being too loud.”

  “But..I think we should get our privacy….”

  “Since we are playing the game together. We might as well stay in the room together.”

  “Yes but……”

  “Don’t worry I’ll move my stuff back after we are done. I've gotten stronger, am I right?”

  “Ok..ayy….” Fausto said as he somehow submits to her rather handily.

  “I wonder if being a man makes her in charge or the fact that she is just this way?” Faust said as even Fausto noticed that as well. This kept going on a few more hours till they finally played almost all night.

  “Woooo…that was fun, I haven't played that long!!!” Stretching Leonora was feeling relieved. Worried how tired she would be in two hours, Fausto was still happy to see her enjoying herself. It was like a breath of fresh air actually. But still for someone who is part of this family. Why is she a gamer?

  “Why do you play games?”

  “Because I didn’t have abilities when I was little.”

  “Aren't you still a diviner?” Faust already knew that she couldn’t use her powers currently. But even at that she is still a diviner who has powers.

  “I didn’t tell you the full story. When I was a kid, I saw an old man who was using a sword. He use this amazing energy slash. It was so incredible that I wanted to do it as well.” Hearing that it was probably the old man, actually. This is probably why he was depressed for a while as he found a gem he couldn’t polish. “However, the moment I did that I was in deep pain. I was so close to dying. If it wasn’t for my family,..I would have died then.”

  “I’m sorry…” Fausto was feeling sad for hearing that as he understands the feeling. He understands being lonely from being different from others.

  “Don’t be. It was rather sad that I couldn’t use my powers, but that is why I went into gaming.”

  “Gaming was a way to get out of reality.” Fausto could understand that, as that was the reason he played games. Not for the same reason but close.

  “Yeah it was. Because of my dad, I could just play games day in and day out. Playing games made me feel I had superpowers. And when I played well and got complimented. It was like what other diviners felt.” Leonora said as she used gaming to compensate for the fact that she couldn’t use her powers. The game gives her a chance to be a powerful individual.

  “Then why did you stop??”

  “Uhmmmm….I had a message from a person. His name was streaming24.” This then shocked Fausto.

  “….streaming24….sounds like a dumb..name..hah..hah..ha..”

  “Isn’t it. But he said something that impacted me.” Leonora then showed the image on her screen that she always posts. Looking at it, Fausto then looked to confirm it was the discussion that he had with her. Quite a long time ago. Because…that was his account he used. “Great, right. It said that you must be an amazing person. I said I’m not in real life. But he said…people who get in the top one percent must mean you work hard in real life.”

  “What's the point of that?” Fausto typed it just because he did thought this person was good. He didn’t think it was her.

  “It made me realise that I’m capable of doing something so much more than just playing games. Yeah, it made me comfortable and feel like I’m amazing. But I didn’t realise that if I’m able to play in a high level. I can do other thing in a high level.”

  “Ah I see…then why did you choose surgery?”

  “Uhm he said about needing to study medicine. Afterwards, I was thinking, if my life is that short. I should go help others to help extend their lives.” Leonora reasoned. “Though I might not have a power as a diviner but I can have the power to save lives.” Leonora smiled as she was prepared for her life. But Fausto then grabbed her hand. Then suddenly, he grabbed the necklace as he focused. Leonora was rather puzzled but didn’t seem to be bothered by it. For some reason, she is not embarrassed about her body parts at all.

  “Hmm…seems like you are progressing well.” Fausto said as he analyzed her body. He then checked to make sure Leonora was getting better. The Divine energy that couldn’t control itself started to sync with the body without spilling too much energy. Unlike other diviners, whose divine energy could sync up at birth and have their powers controlled. Leonora’s power had no limits so until Leonora could control it, the necklace would control it for the time being.

  “How do you know??”

  “I’m a doctor. Based on my experience, you will be in better shape than me,” Faust then caressed her cheeks to assure her. “You are going to be fine.”

  “Thank….thank you thank you!!!!” Leonora hugged Fausto to no end as she was trying to choke the man. Fausto, who wanted to separate from her, was trying but in a moment of hesitance, he stop as he hug her back. It was her moment; might as well make her enjoy it for now. Just this once, he was going to be nice. Unfortunate as he was then holding on for quite a bit longer than expected. “Thank you….you really are the one for me.”

  “What?? Did you say?” Fausto said as he heard that but he didn’t understand the meaning for that at all. However, Leonora pushed him away.

  “Haaaa….” She then hit Fausto in the head as he was rather stupefied. “If these hints don’t give you an answer, then we have a problem. But I’ll let you off today. But in exchange…” Leonora was thinking as she had a devious smile. Fausto got a sudden chill as he didn’t know what it could be. Leonora then grabbed his hand. “Be prepared.” Fausto was actually, for the first time, getting scared to find out.

  “………what is this???” Fausto said as he then realised what she was doing. He was on bed. But he was just sitting there as Leonora was lying on his lap.

  “It’s a lap pillow of course.” Leonora said as she was moving his face around.

  “Uhm….but you could use a pillow???”

  “Haaa…..sometimes the way you act with Karma. How is it you don’t understand what I’m doing to you??”

  “……..Its …I think..” Fausto said as he didn’t actually want to admit it that he had never has experience with women. He has interaction with many of them as patients, but most of the more intimate ones are with Faust. Faust would be the one who would go to those things, while Fausto would be the one leaving them. So it was hard to say if they were his as well since they share the same body.

  “Whatever just let me rest. You will learn.” Leonora said as she started to close her eyes.

  “Learn?”

  “haaa…you are really hopeless.” Saying it rather disappointed, she didn’t seem all that disappointed by her expression as she smiled again.

  “Couldn’t agree more.” Faust nodded.

  “Wait.” Fausto was trying to push her away as he wanted to go. Only to get a perfect response from Leonora, who made a great excuse.

  “Good night.” Leonora then went on to sleep, leaving Fausto to question what both of these two meant. Though since neither of them would say anything, he then looked to see Leonora’s diviner energy. It seems like the Necklace was doing its function.

  “I wonder how long this necklace will last.” Seeing what Fausto was seeing, Faust couldn’t help but find it rather amusing that Fausto would hide such a fact.

  “The thing is…I do hope she will be able to control it in time.” Faust said. He then began writing a report. “Besides, if I report this way, it would be even better for us. Dam they really are getting something special from her.”

  “Well get working. Streaming24.” Saying that name really did irritate Fausto. He even wondered why he made that name.
