"Actually, what is evolver? You haven't had time to explain it. Why do you have power?" Rei asked the same question this afternoon.
William and Elvina were suddenly silent with their heads bowed. Their faces turned gloomy in an instant.
To be honest, every time the sentence was thrown, every time it was also Elvina and William seemed to be forced to remember the events in the past that had happened to them.
"Why are you quiet? What are you trying to cover up?" ask Rei again.
Elvina sighed softly. He looked up at Rei who looked confused.
"I will explain it to you" said Elvina.
"Evolver, is a term for humans who have evolved with a more perfect body genetic system, have endurance, and ability to exceed ordinary humans. We never had any disease. Our bodies will always be healthy, fit, and powerful. In addition, wounds that appear on our bodies will heal faster than humans in general. We will only experience pain when the energy in our body decreases or is depleted due to overuse of our power. However, usually that energy will return once we have had enough rest." Elvina took a short pause before returning to explain.
"Every evolver has two abilities. In general, evolvers are divided into three types that are grouped based on the abilities we have each.…"
"…The first group is the guard evolver, where this evolver has two abilities that are both only related to self-defense power. For example, like Joe who has the power to control time and electric shock. His two abilities are the self-defense type abilities…"
"…Then, the second group is the evolver lab. They are evolvers who only live and do activities in the laboratory. They never leave the laboratory, and are tasked with overseeing every evolver that exists. These lab evolvers, only have abilities related to their brains. Therefore, they have above average IQ. Evolver lab, it has absolutely no self-defense power. Because they don't need it at all. They spend their time in the lab and living in the protection of the evolver guards…"
"…And the third, is a regular evolver like me and William. Evolvers like us are usually guarded tightly by evolver labs and evolver guards. Normally we would be out of the lab once we were ready. We have two different abilities. One is self-defense, and the other is brainpower. Every evolver has different strengths, and every strength we have, will not be owned by other evolvers even though we are from the same group of evolvers. Evolvers like us, which usually become the main tool to follow every order given by the professor in the laboratory." Elvina paused for a moment to take a breath.
"Following orders?" Rei knitted his two eyebrows. Elvina and William nodded slowly.
"Through a small chip, attached to our brain," William murmured.
"C...chip?" rei repeated with a surprised look. The chip? In the brain? Rei was unable to imagine such a thing.
