Eiji was speechless, he processed the sentence that Master Zhong had spoken earlier, "master....., I..........., can control time?," Eiji held his head with both hands, he could not believe, "it's up to you to believe it or not, but you'll find out over time" Master Zhong smiled at Eiji, his smile giving off a warm and comfortable feeling.
"Yo old man!, we're done," Zein and Ray walked towards Master Zhong and Eiji were, "oh, there's Eiji," Ray waved his hand at Eiji, "yo!," Zein also waved his hand. "What are you here for?," asked Zein to Eiji who was still breathing, "he was training his Grim," replied Master Zhong, Zein seemed interested in Eiji, "indeed, he was training his Grim, what Grim do you have?," Zein patted Eiji on the shoulder, "ah, about that.....," Master Zhong slightly wavered, "oh sorry, I'm late," Zein felt guilty, "got sorry, he asked such a thing spontaneously without waiting for an answer from Eiji, "it's okay, just tell me," Eiji let Master Zhong explain his Grim matter, and Master Zhong explained everything, Ray and Zein were a little surprised, "yes in the end pure talent will beat hard work," Zein looked desperate, Ray just smiled, he was already too proud of the ultra regeneration power he had.
Suddenly, Ray gets a call from someone, his face immediately looks panicked, Ray whispers something to Zein, "sorry, we go first, see you, Eiji," Zein runs to his car with Ray, and he starts to drive, Master Zhong remained standing beside Eiji, "what's wrong with them?," Eiji was puzzled, "i don't know," Master Zhong looked unconcerned, "Then, I'll go home too," Eiji picked up his bag which he put on the chair, "alright," Master Zhong walked into the changing room leaving Eiji alone in the middle of the sports hall.
Eiji returns home in a taxi, intending to go to the hospital to visit Gaki, who has no news of being allowed to go home. Eiji cleared himself, he tried to prove what Master Zhong had said earlier, that when he activated his Grim, his eyes would be green. Eiji stood in front of the sink, he stared at the reflection of the face of a short black-haired child, his small body with smooth creamy skin, it was a reflection of himself. Eiji focused onto his brownish-black eyes, when he activated them, just as Master Zhong had said, the color of his pupils turned bright green, but there were other details that Master Zhong passed through, there is a clockwork picture there, with this, Eiji is completely convinced that the power he holds is very large, instead of being happy, Eiji is sad, he is afraid that his strength will be dangerous, he is afraid that his strength will be dangerous, Eiji gradually shed tears, he felt something pitiful.
Eiji was preparing to go to the hospital, he changed his clothes and made orange juice like last day. Eiji left in a taxi, during the trip Eiji did not get any news about Gaki. Arriving at the hospital, he usually went to the reception desk to pick up a visit card. "Gaki," Eiji presented his health card to the Receptionist, "in whose name?," The receptionist took a visiting card from under his desk, "Eiji," The receptionist immediately gasped, "ah, sorry, sorry, the patient was unable to visit, he was in the intensive period, "The receptionist still looked panicked, sweat was pouring down his neck, Eiji just stood in confusion, "yesterday I came, he said today he could go home, he said, is it postponed?," Eiji grew curious. From the hallway, there was the sound of people shouting with the sound of tires colliding with the floor of the hospital, "to the side, to the side, to the patient" there were about four people pushing the hospital bed, and about seven people accompanied him. Eiji was curious, he tried to see it by speeding up his vision, Eiji was instantly startled, the seven people were his acquaintances, he knew all of them, even the person in bed.
Shin, Han, Zein, and Ray ran with the bed, Shin was seen shedding tears, Han with his face turned into a lonely person, Zein was seen not believing what was happening, and Ray also looked very panicked. Behind, there were Kudo, Kai, and Eden who followed slowly, they let the four people before cry over the patient who was asleep in bed. "Eiji?," Eiji was summoned by someone, his shoulders were patted from behind, Eiji turned his head, he looked startled for a moment, all his negative thoughts were gone in an instant, Gaki stood behind him while holding the column of infusion. "Sister?, have you recovered?," Eiji looked in disbelief, "i have indeed recovered from the coma, but there are others who will soon be in a coma," Gaki looked alert, "what happened, why did the others look panicked?, "Eiji's head was filled with questions again, he was grateful that Gaki had recovered, but he now had a question with the person in bed.
Kudo, Kai, and Eden approach Eiji and Gaki near the reception desk, "we're not safe," Wajag Gaki who was flowery when he met Eiji, who was in the middle of the night, turning serious when talking to the other Voxx, "you think the same as me, right?," Kudo looked at Gaki with seriousness, "what happened was not an accident, but obviously a deliberate," Kai clasped his hands, Eiji looked puzzled, he really did not know what they were talking about, "actually what happened?," Eiji began to ask his question, "you don't need to know, "you don't need to know, it's for the good of all of us," Gaki stroked Eiji's head, "no need, brother, I myself already know all rah-," Gaki instantly shut Eiji's mouth, he stood up and pulled her, Kudo, Kai, he said, and Eden followed him.
Gaki brought Eiji to his room, "never say such a thing in the crowd," Gaki looked serious, "excuse me," Eiji looked glum, "well, do we have to tell him?," Kudo asked Gaki, "it looks like you should start knowing," Gaki sighed.
"This morning, Taki had an accident, he was hit by eight cars in a row when crossing, and ended up being run over by a truck. All the riders just ran away, the police did not have time to catch them all, thank God Taki was immediately saved by Han who accidentally saw the incident and immediately enveloped Taki so that his body was not destroyed by the truck. Unfortunately, the police did not make this a planned accident, but just an ordinary accident, but it was impossible when we saw someone get hit and we even crashed our car into the person," Kudo sighed, Eiji looked startled and speechless, "hit by eight cars?," Gaki and the others simply nodded. "Then what happened after that?," Eiji grew curious, "Han called Shin immediately, then Shin called the entire Voxx members, and then he called, then Ray, who was also on Voxx's call, tells Zein that was nearby, "Eiji tried to understand Kudo's words just now, "so who was the real culprit of this accident?, and the cause of Taki's brother being a victim," Eiji again asked a passing question in his mind, "if the matter of the perpetrator, we suspect he's the person that Gaki has been, no, Voxx is looking for, if it's a cause...., he was involved with something," Kudo sighed.
"Alright, after all this is my last day here we should also expect the best for Taki," Gaki smiled slightly, "what if we approach Shin and the others?, they are waiting for Taki to be operated on," Eden walked out of the hospital room and followed the others.
In the hallway of the operation waiting room, Zein stood up while biting her finger, she looked very panicked, she was filled with many bad thoughts about the operation Taki was running. Zein and Taki are friends since childhood, their homes are next to each other, both are always in the same school, and always in the same class. Zein has a more cheerful and open nature, but she is always sloppy and overthinking when dealing with problems, in contrast to Taki who is a little more introverted and always moody, but Taki is calmer and always has a plan every time he faces a problem, but that's what makes Zein panic now.
Zein thinks that if someone is going to kill Taki, or kidnap him, Taki will be in danger, all bad thoughts pass through Zein's mind. "You're not trying to calm him down?" Gaki sat beside Shin who from the beginning noticed Zein getting weird, "no need, he would get even more angry and depressed if not allowed to do so, Zein was not the type to give empathy by crying, she would look frustrated, whereas in her heart she was crying," Shin sighed, "what about Han?, she used her Grim in the public right?," Gaki turned to his right and left to look for Han, but there was nothing. "Han had gone to the police station, he was questioned, calm down, he was guaranteed not to be punished, he was only asked for information as an eyewitness and in return for saving civilians" Shin replied, "but the case was still eliminated, right?," Gaki looked at Shin, Shin did not reply, he just gave a small nod.
Eiji was sitting next to Eden, he had never spoken to her before, Eiji only recognized her face and name, "you, Eiji, right?, we've met before on the street near the supermarket," Eden smiled slightly, saying, Eiji tried to recall the moment, the moment when he came home with Gaki from the supermarket after buying clothes for him, "yes, I'm Eiji," Eiji looked awkward, "don't be so awkward, our age is not much different," Eden tried to console Eiji, Eiji looked even more embarrassed.
Moments later, a noise was heard from the direction of the main lobby, although the distance of the operating waiting room with the main lobby was quite a long distance, but Gaki and the others could still clearly hear the sounds of people running around. "What's wrong?" asked Gaki to Kudo, who had just come to the waiting room, who had just returned from the main lobby after extending the patient waiting permit for surgery, "there were dozens of people referred to this hospital, he said there were some people referred to this hospital, but I don't know the cause, it looks like a terrorist incident," Kudo sighed, "but it seemed very rowdy," Shin looked curious, "yes, they suffered a lot of injuries, I had a chance to see it, it seems they were accident victims," Kudo made his hand open, he said, he now put his gaze on Zein who was still standing while circling around with a panicked expression, Kudo did not give any reaction, "how long will the operation be?," asked Kudo to Shin, "if it wasn't wrong for another two to four hours," Shin glanced at Zein, he felt pity for him, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Shin's grim is the 'Energy Conversion, ' he can transform the energy he creates into something new, but that power is limited to something living, like healing wounds and growing plants. Shin's Grim is rare but simple, several times Zein forced Shin to use his Grim to cure Taki instantly, but Shin refused, he did not give a clear reason for it, he said, Zein who was in despair looked angry with Shin, but he had no reason to hate Shin.
Shin can form the Sunflower, a plant that can receive energy from sunlight, trees, and humans, Shin can gain great power when close to trees or forests, it could also be that when it is noon, Shin will take the energy he can and turn into his energy, the energy can be used to provide healing effects and strengthen the Grim energy of others.
Actually Shin can cure Taki with a short time, but he did not tell anyone, except Gaki. During this time Shin always stole time to heal Gaki by lowering the adrenaline released by Gaki, and it requires no less energy, several times Shin vomited because of running out of energy, and it was not enough, and now that Shin is actually in a very weak condition, he can faint at any time, Gaki also often tells Shin, if his friend suddenly falls and loses consciousness.
Han returned from the police station, he met the others in the operation waiting room. "The lobby was crowded, there was a continuous accident, all the patients were referred here," Han told the others, Shin and the others showed a look of caution, "is this their work as well?," asked Shin with suspicion, "in my opinion, yes, because tokyo itself rarely has consecutive accidents," Han looked a little moody. An hour passed, Gaki went back to his hospital room to remove the infusion line and did the patient registration home, Shin and the others were still waiting for Taki's surgery, Zein was already sitting on a chair, he said, he looked tired and stressed. "how long, why so long," Zein muttered to himself, he continued to feel anxious and panicked, "Shin, isn't he overdoing it," Han noticed Zein's strange gestures, "let's just say, this isn't the first time he's behaved this way twice," Shin replied.
"I went home first, there was a bit of business," Kai walked away from Shin and the others, Eiji was asleep on Eden's shoulders, they looked like the same age, because of the low height of Eden. Kudo fell asleep on the chair, he sat quietly while holding his phone which was still lighting the song past the earphones he was using. After quite a long time, Zein fell asleep from exhaustion, Han went to buy food, Ray who from the beginning no one finally came, he previously went home, and returned to the hospital, and, he comes with Hikari, Mizu, and Nova.
"How's the operation going?," asked Ray to Shin, who was still awake, "his nurse said that the operation was going well, and soon it was over, maybe Taki will be treated here for one to two weeks to recover, fortunately Han had saved him, it could have been all crushed by the truck," Shin sighed, "though if hit by a truck could have entered another world," Ray chuckled, "this is not an anime, Ray," Shin scrunched his forehead.
A few minutes later, a nurse came out the main door of the operating room, Shin immediately stood up and faced the nurse, "how are you?," Shin looked a little agitated, he shrank his voice, he said, another worry awakens, "thankfully all the surgery is safe, the patient will be treated for approximately two weeks here, for further matters, please visit the inpatient table," the nurse smiled sweetly, she looked exhausted through a rather difficult and exhausting operation.
Shin showed a satisfied face, the hours he waited did not disappoint him, Shin and Mizu headed for the hospitalization table, they did the patient registration there, Shin did not wake the others, Shin did not wake up, let them fall asleep in the operating room waiting room. "Don't we have to move them?," asked Ray, he felt a little pity, "let's just say, they're also exhausted," Shin smiled faintly.
Taki's body was full of debate, his stomach was badly injured before, even looks open, but now it has been sewn. Medical machines are indeed equipped with the help of Grim, so having high precision, strength, and accuracy, doctors do not have to have healing abilities, but they must have the ability to use medical tools, and they must have the ability to use medical devices, because it is difficult to use.
The police have a device to detect the power of the Grim and calculate the amount of power, or Soul Point, it makes the police able to detect the people who activate the Grim even though no one sees it, it was shaped like an antenna in a police station, and had a scanning range of up to ten kilometers, and was in every police station in each city. Police also have a mobile phone-shaped detection device to calculate Grim points up close, or also detect Grim from a distance of twenty meters.
If a person's soul comes out of his body, he will die, and his Grim will be lost, because Grim is the soul itself. Each Grim power has a scale called Soul Point, the scale can determine the amount of power of the Grim, if it reaches zero, then the person will die or go into a coma, because his soul lost all power. Normally, humans at the age of 15 to 20 years will reach nine hundred Soul Points, and will continue to increase, in some people can get nine or ten thousand.
In terms of points, a person who had lower points would not be able to control a person who had higher points, it was a natural law that had long since been determined. For example, when in the supermrket tragedy, Gaki and others cannot be brainwashed because they have higher points. Soul Point can increase and decrease according to the human state itself, when he is in good condition and spirit, is confident and has a strong determination, his Soul Point will increase, upside down with when he was desperate, exhausted, his strength would diminish.
Adrenaline, a hormone produced by the body when in a state of stress, adrenaline can increase the strength of Grim many times, relieve pain, and make lost consciousness. In the levels, adrenaline is divided into five levels, from the lowest of which are E, D, C, B, and A, humans can normally only produce to the level of C, which is only, from B and A is only obtained from drugs, or loose soul effects.
The detached soul was the moment when one allied himself with the underworld, he offered his blood to Azazel, the leader of the underworld. The people who were allied with Azazel would gain strength that was many times greater than his previous strength, nor would they feel pain, would it have a very rapid regeneration effect, he said, endurance and speed that are stretched to the reasonable limits of humans. No man has ever met Azazel in person, unless he is dead, and the man who offered his soul will be a slave to Azazel.
Shin let Zein and the others sleep on the chair, he let it there until it was awakened by the nurse on duty. Zein looks panicked, he immediately asks the news about Taki at the receptionist in the lobby, he is addressed to Taki's room now, there is no one, only Taki who is filled with bandages, Zein sits next to him, Zein continued his sleep quietly. Shin and the others looked from outside, "let it go," Shin took the others away from the front door of the room, before Shin put some food on the room table for Zein.
"I feel sorry for him, but he looks too much," Han again quipped Zein, "I've told you many times, it's only natural that you lose someone important, you've always been by my side, "Shin seems to disagree with Han's opinion, "you're too calm, we have to find the culprit immediately, if it gets worse, if it gets delayed, someone might die" Gaki began to speak up.
Eiji was silent, he actually did not understand what they were talking about. "Let it go first, we will also take the final exam in the semester, then we will have to prepare for the festival in the next two weeks," Shin sighed, "oh yes, tomorrow I wait for all the Voxx in the academy meeting room, we will hold the last main meeting before the exam," Shin's eyes seemed to sparkle, he was planning something.
Gaki and Eiji went home, when it showed at 19:00, Gaki immediately laid himself on the bed, "after a long time I came back here," Gaki indulged himself with his articles. Eiji was sitting in the living room, "sister, there are some things I want to ask," Eiji said slowly.
Gaki slowly approached Eiji, he sat in front of him, they were only limited to a small dining table, "it seems like something serious," Gaki lowered his tone of voice, he looked serious, "this morning I went to Master Zhong, and-," before Eiji finished his sentence, Gaki cut him off, "you have a rare Grim, right?," Gaki smiled slightly, "grandfather already knows?," Eiji looked startled, "no, I expected it from the beginning, your strength is special and rare, that power also has great potential," Gaki stroked Eiji's head, "so, what is your strength?."
Eiji explains everything that happened this morning, Gaki looks enthusiastic about Eiji's story. "Time, I was expecting it, we should meet your grandfather, I should ask you a few things," in an instant, Eiji looked gloomy, he disagreed, he did not want to see his grandfather again, "it's okay," Gaki again stroked Eiji's head.
Gaki and Eiji sleep that night in peace, Eiji forgets all the negative thoughts about his grandfather, he must dare to meet him again, though for the last time.
In the morning, the clock shows at 8 am, Eiji does his morning routine with Gaki, cooks ramen, Gaki prepares a bag and determines the address to go to Eiji's house. "It's quite far, how did you get here back then?," Gaki looked puzzled, "i forgot," Eiji gave a small smile.
Eiji and Gaki go by taxi, Eiji's house is located on the Tokyo coast so close to Tokyo Bay, Gaki and Eiji travel for an hour, "so, where are we now?," Gaki opened the map that he had been holding. Gaki and Eiji walked down the road to his house, there was quite crowded because many were on vacation to Tokyo Bay. "From here we can take the bus for 10 minutes, and get to the intersection, after which we just need to cross and enter the shortcut," Eiji tried to recall the way back home, to his house, he hasn't been back in a few weeks, and his memory is always trying to get rid of his past.
Gaki and Eiji walked down the street that was mentioned, and now they were right in front of the gate. "The flight is unlocked," Gaki slowly shifted the gate, the two of them walked in front of the door, Gaki knocked on the door several times, but there was no reply, "it was weird, grandfather used to lock the gate tightly, and he was always quick to answer the knock, "Eiji tried to open the door, but Gaki pulled his hand, "from the beginning I felt something strange, like, don't try to open the door, "Gaki looks serious.
Gaki turned his head to the right and left, he felt an awkwardness that made him uncomfortable. "Eiji, does this house have a back door?," asked Gaki to Eiji, "there is, but it has been closed since last year because it has not been used, this is the only way in," Eiji looked frightened, his hands trembling, "it looks like we should go inside," Gaki stared at the doorknob of the house.
Negative thoughts continued to pass through Eiji's mind, the longer he looked panicked and frightened, the more hesitant Eiji was to continue his steps, but Gaki pulled his hand. Gaki slowly opens the door, before using his Grim to create a protective membrane for them, in anticipation of something unwanted.
Gaki and Eiji were already inside the house, the situation was very clean and well maintained, right in the front room was the living room, the tables were clean and snacks neatly arranged on top of it, it smelled like a five-star perfume. Gaki looked around, he found no one, they continued their steps.
Eiji looks scared, he is reluctant to use his Grim to see the past in the room, Eiji hugs Gaki while following his steps by closing his eyes. "Here you go, there's nothing strange here" Gaki tries to brave Eiji and convince him. Gaki and Eiji went on to the next room, the family room, the house separated the family private room with the living room, and before going to the family room, there was a divider in the form of cloth. "Yes, your house is big" Gaki smiled cynically at Eiji, "yes, I know it's many times bigger than our house, even this is using air conditioning," Eiji glanced at the air conditioner installed above the corner of the room.
Gaki traced the living room, there was a television, several magazines, and cleaning tools, the condition was like the previous room, clean and well maintained, the condition was very like a house that was still fully occupied. Eiji again looked worried, he looked around, near the living room, there was a dining room connected to the kitchen, the condition was also well maintained and fragrant, all cutlery and cooking utensils are kept clean there.
Gaki glanced down the stairs to climb up to the second floor, but suddenly he heard footsteps from above, Gaki instantly made a sword and held Eiji tightly, the person descending slowly, and then he started to walk down, until his entire body is seen by Gaki, Gaki immediately closes Eiji's eyes and closes his eyes as well, in front of him is someone who he thinks is dangerous. "Welcome, I've been waiting for you for quite a long time," the person smiled faintly, Gaki still closed his eyes, he used Grim's vision to look at that person, and he said, the man smiled cynically at Gaki.
