At another part of the city, reaching the hospital, was a huge uproar as there was a commotion and news about the commander being revived. The media was now full-blown as they wanted to hear or find out how it was possible to bring someone to life. The hospital soon got the attention of the whole nation. Walking inside the hospital, Faust walks in the back to avoid all the attention. He didn’t like the media when involving Fausto because they keep bragging about Fausto is the better half. Plus endless questions that he really could care less about. No this cup of tea.

“Excuse me this is for authorized personnel.” Someone said, but then upon turning around they automatically knew their mistake.

“So this is how the hospital treats me? I saved a life and got fired. Seems like I need to find a new place to work?”

“No no sorry please forgive me!! I didn’t know you would come so early. Usually, you would come at night.”

“Yes yes but I have something I need to do.”

“That is??”

“Unfortunately you're not the one I need to talk to.” Faust then walked past the security guard as he went on to go to the top floor to meet the chief of medicine. Being rather rude he was acting like Fausto as everyone knows he is rather cold and unsocial. Reaching the room there were so many gift baskets, the entire place was full with just one person basking in the rewards.

“Sorry I’m a little busy right now, can you please come back later?”

“Then it seems like I should move hospitals,” Faust said, in a flash, someone popped out from the sea of presents. It was Dr. Laurie showing herself while holding more than one gift. Within an hour she was receiving gifts like candy on Halloween night. And it wasn’t just cheap gifts, these were some high-end gifts. But it was strange given how masculine she was along with her long blonde hair and pretty facials.

“Dr. Fausto, it's so good that you came so early this morning. Do you want some of these gifts?” Giving a rather sad face as she wanted it all for herself but needed to give it to the true hero. Fortunately, those gifts were things Faust wasn’t really impressed with as he thought they were just useless accessories. Though he has high brands of clothes himself, he chose them because if he didn’t Fausto would buy cheap clothes instead. At least it doesn't make Faust look bad.

“I thought you were busy?”

“Nonsense!! For you, nothing matters.” Laurie was the head of the surgical department. But even being the head, she was inferior to Fausto in terms of skill. Though one is considered the head of the department, Laurie viewed Fausto as the head. Especially with the hospital getting so much recognition from Fausto. It was important that Fausto's needs, go first before everyone else's.

“Then Mrs. Laurie, would you give me these two students?” Showing the papers, Laurie was shocked.

“Are you saying you are willing to teach these two?” Even she knew how close-knit he was. Dr. Laurie never was going to give Fausto any students because of how he refused to accept any. So it was a surprise for him to ask personally. Faust nodded but in his head was a complete denial.

“Don’t you dare!!! I told you I would not do that. Don’t get me involved!!!” Fausto openly refused. But it went on empty ears as no one could hear his objection. Faust simply ignores it while talking. As he started to get closer he touched Laurie’s face. Though she was not his type but seeing him make a move on her she couldn’t help but feel excited.

“So are we finished?” Getting closer, Laurie thinks she might get another reward but…

“..Ye..yesss.please take me…” She said as she was ready for what is to come. But nothing happened as she slowly opened her eyes.

“Then we are finished.” Faust quickly left the room emotionless with Laurie's rather disappointed look.

“I hate when he does that.” Though depressed she then looked at her gifts. “Oh, this is an expensive bag. Oh and this is a nice purse. So nice!!!” Bathing in her gifts, she just went back to enjoying the rewards that she should have given to Fausto.

Walking to the commander’s room, Faust then went on to see the unconscious Lee. As the doctor who performed the surgery, he had every right to enter. Even the soldiers that were guarding the door let Faust through not knowing who he really was. Examining the body, Faust was tempted to finish the deal.

“Don’t!! You will blow our cover!!” Fausto said in his head as Faust then retracted his powers.

“Relax, I already finished my job. I just want to make sure how long it would take for him to gain consciousness?” Though Fausto was the main doctor, Faust had enough experience that he was able to be a proficient doctor as well. This allowed him insight in the medical section as well.

“Right now it should take a few months. The human body is extraordinary but even with that it would take a few months to recover.” Fausto already knew the state as he already found out before he left.

“Perfect, it will give them enough time to complete their operation.” Hearing that Fausto was concerned as this was news for him. This was the first time he was taking sides.

“Why do you want to help them?”

“It's not why, but what?”

“What do you mean?”

“Twenty years ago. The former Arthur used his life to destroy millions of soldiers in the blink of an eye during the Second Great Civil War. There should be no way that whatever Gilius and them are planning would be able to tear down this regime. Arthur and even the minister would be able to wipe them out.” Faust pointed out as he was trying to piece everything together.

“So you mean?”

“This attack is a distraction for them to hide their true objective.” Faust said as he was finding this more interesting.

“And what is it?”

“We will have to find out,” Faust said as he didn’t know. It was more just a gut feeling than anything. “Let's worry about that later as we need to observe this thing called gun fighting. I’m quite curious how I will fair against it.” Realizing he had a scheduled fight, he decided it was best to start training. Faust quickly got into a car as he headed out somewhere into remote part of a city as he forgot he just stole a car. Fortunately it was a gift that Dr. Laurie was given. Seems like Fausto did get a piece of the reward after all.

Few hours later….

As the sunset approached, Leonora had just woken up as she was getting ready to go to the hospital. But as she headed out the door, she was greeted by Leonardo. Looking at him, she simply looked away as she went to her car. But it was rather strange as she noticed that he was getting inside her car too.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m going with you to the hospital.”

“Go yourself. I have work.”

“My work is at the hospital.”

“Oh great, well get your ride.”

“It's you.” Hearing that Leonora was questioning the order. “I thought I was deemed no longer necessary to be a part of the order?”

“Yes but it turns out it has to do with the connection you are going to have.”

“Have? I have nothing that the order wants. My condition was why I was able to be away from the order.” All diviners who are of eligible age have to serve the order in any given capacity. Rather than be for fighting, mostly being fighting or for other purposes, they have to contribute to the order. Leonora is actually the sole exception as she was given the freedom to do what she pleases as long as it wouldn’t tarnish their good name. Of course just because she was an exception doesn’t mean she isn’t a Diviner.

“But because of your connection to someone, the order wants you to be of service.” Leonardo then gave an image that Leonora knew instantly who that someone was.

“You want me to keep an eye on him and steal his research. I won’t do it. I have too much respect for him to do such a thing.” When studying to be a surgeon, one of her idols was Dr. Fausto. Being so young and talented, everyone who was in the medical field wanted to be like Fausto. This also included Leonora, as she wanted to be young and successful as well. So to go spy on Dr. Fausto would be dishonoring and disrespecting her idol.

“But the order….”

“The order has nothing to do with me. Arthur has even granted me autonomy. As long as I don’t interfere, so get!!” Leonora argued as she was trying to get rid of him. However, Leonardo refused as he remained in his seat.

“I’m going with you and that is final.” Leonora was getting frustrated, but she was late for work so had no time for this. Also despite her disrespect to the order she really couldn’t go against the order. As she was still supported by the order even when no one recognized her existence. After all, they did allow her the freedom and car. Not to mention, the fact that she still don’t have to pay for anything herself helps.

“Fine but don’t talk to me.” Leonora then started the car and it automatically drove itself to the hospital. Even though the two are siblings it seemed like both, who were treated differently, also affected their relationship well. Despite being siblings, both couldn’t seem to have anything to talk about, resulting in an awkward silence between the two.

Other side of town.

Getting up, Karma was running around to get her stuff ready. Along the way she realised she was forgetting something. Looking for her bracelet as she was wondering where it was. Ever since she was little her father has always told her to keep that bracelet. She even wore it when she slept. But when she woke up she didn’t notice it at all. Looking into Gilius' room, she then sighs in relief to find it. Why was it in Gilius' room of all places? It was strange. Then under it was a rather interesting notebook. It said something strange that had several reports of a certain person. She was going to read it but...Beep beep.

“Oh shoot I need to go right now. Or else I'm going to be late!!!!” In that instant, she ran rather fast to the point that was moving in a blur. Then the page soon opened up with words stated as follows. The bracelet has done its purpose. She needs to leave as soon as possible. The date was yesterday.
