Control

{The Current Nutritional of what you have eaten is 1.3 million Kj i have stored half in reserve.}

Leon Takes a seat in front of him grinning.

"So what do you think?"

"Ok i'm intrigued why is it so nutritional?"

"Well it's a normal meal with a special seasoning on."

"Which is?"

"I can't tell you right now but i can tell you later if you don't mind coming back."

Leo slightly puzzled agree's.

After leaving going to the training room he sits down to practice, thinking about he's going to train he sees a training dummy he can use to practice on, pulling the dummy into the center of the training room.

He concentrates on the technique of forming his magic, after thinking about the energy being pulled inside his body he first, tries to make a spear, seeing the spear appear in the shape he thought of he excited try it out, he thinks about it being thrown into the dummy.

The spear shoots towards the dummy on impact it shatters into dust making no impression on the dummy at all it didn't even move.

Happy with the out come he repeats this for the next couple of hours.

Brad decide to go to the training area to check out how Leo's training is coming on, walking into the room behind Leo he pauses for a moment in amazement.

Leo after a few hour is now forming multiple spears all in shadow magic, and is throwing them at the dummy, not straight like he first started, they are bending and moving around the room making whipping sounds, as they then strike the dummy, the control is impressive for someone who has just started learning how to use magic.

But Brad notices that they are causing no damage to the dummy, walking up to Leo who is in total concentration he makes a small coughing sound.

"Oh, hi Brad is everything ok."

"Yeah everything is fine, you seem to have control down perfectly but there is no damage being cause to the dummy."

Whilst this was happening Leo who wasn't looking at the dummy at all was still controlling all the spears still throwing them at the dummy.

The moment he heard Brad say there was no damage he thought about how a bullet from a rifle would penetrate it target leaving noting but a entry hole and exit hole.

What happened next made Brad smile and laugh.

Pop, POP, pop this was the sound of the spears flying through the dummy at a terrifying speed there were multiple holes in different directions.

"Is that enough damage?"

"That is a little scary even for me..."

Leo realizing that he might have gone a little to far smiled awkwardly.

"I can buy a new dummy."

Up until this point he had not tried to cause any damage to the dummy at all.

"HaHa, take a look at the dummy."

Looking around at the dummy he could see the dummy reforming back to its original shape.

"It's made from the same material as the buildings it draws energy from the earth to regenerate."

Leo eyebrows raise in surprise.

"so i can do as much damage as i want?"

"Yeah but even the dummy as a limit it can't be demolished entirely as it wont return to its original state."

"Ok i'll keep that in mind."

"Many people have tried though, the more damage you cause the faster it regenerates."

Hearing this Leo grins.

"So it would be impressive if i did?"

"Indeed it would, but don't strain your self otherwise you will faint through lack of energy."

"Ok i'll keep that in mind."

"Have tried controlling other forms of magic, also you can check your output level down in the measurement room."

"What do you mean by output level?"

"Well even though everyone has a affinity to magic it takes time to develop there output level, we developed a tool to measure this."

"How do the levels work?"

"Basic numeral count, like myself i have a output level of 17000."

"I think i get it, whats the maximum?"

"Mine is 50000 which is determined by the first measurement this is done by measuring your possible absorption rate."

"Thanks for that so i have no limit then?"

"Honestly yeah and that's a little scary, as they strongest person in the world has limit of 500,000 which in its self is amazing but he's output is at 370,000."

Leo thinking about how this might affect the world goes into deep thought.

"Leo i haven't told main HQ about your measurement as it will cause massive implication upon you, but i can only keep this up for so long as i can't cover forever."

"Ok i understand what will happen if they find out?"

"They will most likely try to kill you as this will unbalance the power in this world also there are force's that will undoubtedly try to kill you as well, you i will be the target of the entire world."

"Why?"

"The fact that you have no limit means you can overthrow every person in the world if you choose to this is not something that anyone will take lightly."

"So what can we do about it?"

"Well if you could re-measure you saying that there was a error in the measurement and you can control one type of magic then it could hide you."

"Why would you go to such lengths for me someone you don't know?"

"So you heard about Leon's ability right, i had him try to find out as much info as possible on where you cam from..."

Hearing this Leo is now very much on guard and is wondering what will happen if the truth is found out.

"So according to Leon's intel you came from now where there was a bright light deep in the forest where you were made from nothing."

Leo looking directly into Brad's eyes to see if there is any ill intent and sees none.

"So i'll ask a simple question are you here to hurt anyone and where do you come from?"

Hearing this question he thinks for a moment and decide's that if he's going to survive here he will need someone on his side.

"I'm not here to hurt anyone, the next question is a little harder to explain, but can you trust enough to some how let me explain a little later."

Brad's grabbing his chin and with a deep frown.

"For now i can but i won't be taking my eye off you, i hope you understand, i'll take my leave try to use different magic as i'm the only person in the world to use shadow magic."

"Thank you i will focus on using different magic and i will talk to you soon about how were going to do a retest."

Brad leaves walking having a slight puzzled look on his face hoping he made the right decision.

Leo keeps training.

Brad get back to the store walking in he sits down behind his desk he picks up small circle disk which he puts on the side of his neck he then in his head talks to Leon and Lizzie.

"Leon, Lizzie keep a close eye on Leo, i've told him about what we know, we will wait for him to explain more to see if we can fully trust him, he might be the one to sort out the HQ and Royalty but we need to know we can trust him first."

Lizzie Hearing this stood behind the Inn desk picks up her device and replies

"I told you he was trust worthy i could tell when he said he would help me get Ripon, no one in there right mind would dare go back to the forest, this make him a rather unique person as he is brave and smart but most of all has potential to end it all."

Leon hearing Lizzie speak walks into his private quarters and communicates.

"From what i can get he is very brave, he ran though a nest of Brutas that's simple insane ha ha, he is polite and not arrogant he has my vote anyway."

"Hey just because someone is kind, brave and is strong, doesn't make them trustworthy keep you wits look for anything that would make him a threat, i don't want to trust someone who is going to stab me in my back."

Hearing this they both say yes legion at the same time.

Mean while near the forest a figure with dressed in black armor with a pair of horns coming from his head talks to a figure who is knelt to one side of him.

"So what is the news of this person."

"He seems to have made contact with the hunters and is training a lot he eats the same meals as the Cerberus's which is very strange."

"Is that all you have what about his power or his magic level anything, you ant"

The figure knelling starts to tremble in fear.

"I can't manage to circumvent the security of the tower, so i have no information on anything else."

"USELESS!!!"

The moment he shouts this the figure is pulled into the floor by darkness all your hear is small scream as it disappears.

The horns are on fire, and the persons face is full of rage.

"Cimeries."

A man on a black horse rides slowly out of the forest, he is wearing a black over coat with a hood with chest armor which looks like its full of knives laced from the shoulder to hip his coarse read trousers with black metal knee pads and boots that are smooth black metal, the horse is not normal either with 4 legs front and back it is encased in deep red crimson armor its eyes are a piecing white.

In a deep voice.

"Yes my lord."

"I want you to investigate the anomaly that came from the forest, be discreet."

"Your will is my command."

The Horseman rides towards the front line settlement, as he gets a few hundred meters away from the forest, his appearance changes the face of the person changes to that of middle aged man with half a face mask, the horse changes to all its armor disappears and it front and back legs fuse making it look like a normal horse.

Reaching the gates of the settlement the guard posted shouts.

"Hey Cimeries haven't seen you in a long time give me a minute to open the gates."

The settlement gates open up welcoming him in after tying up his horse in a stable nearby the entrance he walks towards the Hunters association.

Brad was in his office when he got the news of Cimeries visit he goes down to the entrance to greet him.

Waiting at the entrance he sees Cimeries walking towards him.

"Hi, Cimeries i haven't seen you in a while, what can i help you with?"

"I'm here to see the new measurement record."

"Certainly please follow me."

They both walk into HQ to the library

"Altair please bring the new measurement recording please."

"Of course i haven't verified the data yet so."

Brad never recorded the memory, he had told Altair his reason and that he would make a recording when the time was right.

Altair brought a tablet out and handed it to Brad who passed it on to Cimeries to view.
