Chapter 185 - Day 9 (Mass Release 4/10)
*Fredrick city - 4 days after going to the club*
In the middle of a hotel room sat a young girl with pale blonde hair. Her eyes were closed while her eyebrows would spasm every now and then.
While one might think that she looked like a normal girl, the moment they would see her face, their opinion would change.
Some would call her the most beautiful thing on the continent, others would suggest she had fallen from heaven. Little did they know that even though she had been born beautiful, a lot of her unmatched beauty had come from the consumption of elemental energies, titles, and the awakening of divinity, a power that is bestowed upon 1 out of a billion people in a solar system, and even then the survival rates of being awakened as a divine being are extremely low, to the point where a single minuscule mistake on the atomic level could probably cause the awakening to fail.
However, the girl in the middle of the room, who is me, did not know any of this and therefore did not know how lucky and fortunate she was to be alive right now.
I was sitting in the middle of the room on a blue mat constantly trying to use the soul energy inside me to circulate it around my body before purifying it, however, until now nothing was working and I was getting really agitated.
[You should probably stop]
'No! I can do this...' I replied with a tinge of annoyance.
[There is no point in repeating the same thing over and over again. Like someone on earth said, 'Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results.']
'Tsk' I opened my eyes and glared at the ceiling the same way a married man would look at someone who just hit on his wife.
[You can't keep trying to do this without breaks and without a clear mind.]
'My mind is clear' I sneered
[Not it isn't. Stop trying to copy June by being a tsundere and admit it. You are worried about Olivia.]
'...'
[Silence? Is that a yes?]
'Okay, I am kinda worried, but I am sure she is fine and can hold out for a few more days. She is quite strong after all' I laughed dryly while analysis went completely silent.
'Speaking of analysis...' I closed my eyes again and lay on the ground without moving a muscle.
'Hey, analysis?' I called out after a 15 minutes
[Yes?]
'I've been thinking of a name for you' I stated before pausing
[Y-Yes?]
Seeing analysis had become nervous after hearing what I had to say, I chuckled lightly.
'Don't worry, I won't choose a bad name' I chuckled while the robotic voice in my head audibly sighed in relief.
[What are you thinking of naming me? To be honest, I do not actually need a name so I am not sure why you want to give me a name]
'Because you are probably the closest person to me in this world and I can't keep calling you analysis for the rest of my life...' I shrugged, yet my eyes were kept closed throughout the whole time I was speaking.
[So what are you thinking of naming me?]
Even though its voice was robotic, I could still hear a tinge of excitement within it that seemed to be more imaginary than real.
'How about Athena? Or maybe Hela?'
[Hela!]
'You don't like the name, Athena? She is the Greek goddess of knowledge!'
[It's not that. I'd rather not have the same name as another god.]
'You do know what Hela comes from the Norse goddess Hel, right?'
[Yeah well, she doesn't exist]
'So you are saying Athena does exist?' I raised a brow
[I didn't say that.]
'Hela then?'
[Yes, please...]
'Hela it is!' I pumped my fist towards the ceiling before lazily dropping it back on the ground and simultaneously opening my eyes.
After a few minutes of just laying there, I finally spoke and asked the question on my mind.
'How do you think Olivia is doing?'
[Well, for your sake, I hope she is okay.]
'That's not what I asked' My eyes were filled with worry, worry that I simply felt like I could not show to anyone except the only person who knows everything about me.
[I know you didn't, but I don't know what we are fighting against so I cannot tell you if she is safe or not. All we can do is hope that she is safe for your sake and everyone else's too.]
I stayed silent.
'I haven't heard of June for a few days. What do you think she is up to?' I changed the topic a few seconds later.
[She is probably sulking. Let her be for today if you don't hear from Zaji an-]
Hela, a name that I for some reason find hard to say, paused. However, 3 seconds later, a familiar sound rang within my ears.
[Ding]
[There is an incoming call from Zaji, would you like to accept it?]
'Yes' eagerness flashed within my eyes.
[Call has been answered]
"Hello?" I heard a naive voice say from the other side.
"Yes, Zaji?"
"Well, I am calling to tell you that we accept your conditions and are willing to give you guys 50% of the commission if it succeeds," Zaji replied with nervousness.
"Cool... When do you want to meet?" I asked while getting up.
"Let us meet tomorrow atter dawn. Let us meet in front of the gates of the city and move on from there, okay?" Another voice sounded from what seemed to be a little further away, and from the constant rustling, I could guess that everyone was listening to the conversation.
"Good. I'll get June to pack up and We'll meet you tomorrow, okay?"
"June?" Zaji asked with uncertainty.
"Yeah, June... If you tell me you forgot about June I will slap you so hard when we meet" I chuckled
"No, it's not that... Its... Well... June is with us right now, I thought she told you that she had come here to plan out the mission..." Zaji Spoke with a voice filled with uncertainty.
