“I think… my Force awakening had something to do with my Vision…”
Silence.
Morgan and Burn looked at each other, both their faces rigid and surprised. Yvain looked at both his pretend parents and was surprised as well, just from their reactions.
They both demonstrated great control over their emotions and had impressive poker faces, so this reaction was almost nightmarish.
“Leave,” Burn turned to the Sator Merchant Group’s directors and higher-ups, and they immediately paled at his sudden change in aura.
They scurried away at his word, quickly slipping behind Morgan to the door and closing it from the outside.
“This is unexpected,” Morgan muttered.
Burn walked to the sofa and sat, leaning sideways on the armrest. “I also never heard of that.”
Morgan examined the swords. She took one look at them and chose one of the three Burn recommended. “This one can be partially used as a Vision Staff. You can choose this one, Yvain.”
“Yes, Master,” Yvain said.
Yvain grabbed the long sword, excitedly examining it as Morgan sat beside Burn. They looked at each other again in complete silence while Yvain slowly felt suspicious of what they were thinking.
“Umm… Masters…” Yvain hesitantly asked, “Why are you two… look so scary right now?”
"Boy, you know that you are the third Vision and Force user in this world, right?" Burn asked.
Yvain tilted his head. "Yes. That’s right…?"
"Do you know them, Morgan?" Burn turned to Morgan, expecting answers, as he gestured towards another sofa for Yvain to sit.
Morgan nodded. "I know them quite well. One is the Vampire of the West, and the other is the Dragon of the East. They’re so famous that there was a saying to metaphorize the power in this world, ‘Vampire of the West and Dragon of the East’.”
"That Vampire of the West is Vlad," Morgan smiled.
Burn tilted his head, closed his eyes, and immediately felt tired. Of course, it was him...
"And the Dragon of the East is on the moon right now," Morgan chuckled as she mentioned it.
Burn frowned and opened his eyes, narrowing them. Of course, the two of them were her acquaintances. "The Dragon is with your treasures on the moon?"
This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.
"He's the guardian of my treasures," Morgan said, with a finger lightly touching his palm, sensing the weariness in Burn due to her connection to these colleagues.
“Well, that is what I should expect from you,” Burn muttered. “But that’s not the important point now. Yvain, you mentioned that your Force awakening had something to do with your Vision?”
“Yes,” Yvain confirmed.
“I’m not sure if that’s possible,” Burn turned to Morgan once again.
“You want me to answer that too? I knew Vlad and Isaiah, but they can’t use both Vision and Force at the same time. They awakened both, but manifesting both… they said it’s impossible,” Morgan explained.
“We, a Vision master and a Force master, also know it’s supposed to be impossible. I can try to awaken Vision now, and Morgan can try to awaken her Force, but what you said, Yvain,” Burn looked at Yvain, “Sounded like you can actually use both at the same time.”
Once again, silence filled the room.
“Is it… that big of a deal?” Yvain nervously asked.
Hearing the boy’s hesitant question, Morgan and Burn chuckled.
“Force and Vision are like water and oil. No. Force and Vision are like… even two opposing poles of magnet attractions can still be united, but they’re even more opposite to each other than anything in this world,” Morgan explained.
“So to us, you sounded like lying, Yvain,” Burn said.
Yvain groaned. “But I didn’t! I awakened my Force while I was being enlightened for my Vision!”
Burn and Morgan narrowed their eyes.
“You mean… your specialty?” Morgan whispered, and Burn turned to her with raised eyebrows.
“Yes, Master!” Yvain stood with a bit of desperation and excitement. “My specialty!”
Morgan slowly but surely understood and she immediately stood too. “Balance?!”
“Yes!” Yvain nodded with all the power he had.
“What?!” Burn exclaimed.
“Caliburn—” Morgan turned to Burn. “T-this…! This might be—!”
“Balance? You mean, his Vision’s specialty complements his Force style?!” Burn immediately stood up like the other two.
The three of them, with their mouths open, fell into a frozen state.
And then…
“OOOOOOOOOOHHH!”
“AAAAAHHHHAAAHH!”
“WAAAAAAAHHHHH!”

After a burst of excitement, the three sat back down on the sofas.
“What does that even mean?” the three pondered, with dark, serious expressions on their faces.
It was almost like the three of them shared the same singular active brain cell and couldn’t figure it out.
“We should… actually sit on it and wait for more information and development,” Morgan laughed helplessly.
“I guess so, Masters,” Yvain smiled tiredly.
But Burn, his gaze burned into Yvain as he sighed.
“Master Burn…?” Yvain looked slightly afraid at his gaze, but then, the boy saw him smile.
“That’s too amazing. I’m fucking jealous right now,” Burn said.
Morgan and Yvain were a bit surprised by Burn’s words. The man leaned on the sofa as Morgan smiled at him and hugged him from the side, and Yvain chuckled at his words cheerfully.
Unknown to Burn, the look in his eyes wasn’t jealous…
…but proud.
“To think that you might be chosen by God or something… isn’t that like… stupid lucky?” Burn sneered. “And you,” he turned to Morgan. “You with your infinite soul, fuck, I feel out of place. God loves you both.”
Morgan couldn’t help but laugh, and so was Yvain.
“You said that even though you’re the strongest of us three?” Morgan looked at him lovingly.
“And you having us both on your side?” Yvain added.
Ah, right. He was the one who was stupid lucky.
The three were immersed in their shared emotions for a bit, before Yvain decided to tell Burn what he wanted from him. Both Morgan and Burn listened to him, wondering what it would be.
“I want to know…” Yvain raised his face. “...about your agreement.”
Burn and Morgan’s eyes widened, and their
pupils shrunk.
Yvain grasped the fabric on his knees.
“Can you tell me everything… about what is happening between you two?”
