Chapter 31

"Do you know what is this?" Demeter asked her while sitting in the middle of the room and her other comrades are surrounding her. She showed Trance the expensive and luxurious watch. Nine motioned Demeter to stay back while Hera shook her head and joined their comrades who are sitting on the other side while watching the rookie.

They're now inside of the laboratory with countless types of machines. The test tubes and other equipment are well organized on the other side of the 1-foot thick glass. There's a table five feet away from both of them while Trance is sitting on the chair in the middle of the room.

"A watch?"

"Of course a watch. It's not just a watch, Trance. It's one of the Excalibur's great possession and it's Heimdall for you." Nine said with confidence written all over her face while fiddling the arrow between her fingers. She snatched it from Artemis and put it on Trance. The younger one flinched and blinked then looked at her in confusion after having a feeling of something that gives an electric shock to her.

"This watch will give you a minor shock due to the robots with the size of cells entering your body." Nine took out her phone before she steals a glance at her. "Five minutes, sit there in five minutes."

"W-What is happening?"

"The robots whose now entering inside your body have only five minutes to enter your central nervous system. Those robots went on your brain so both of them can associate with each other. Things would be easier." Nine years her eyeglasses and pair of gloves before taking something on the table. A katana inside of its black sheath.

"I suggest for you not to move. The white blood cells inside your body might prevent the bots to enter. They only have one minute to disguise themselves as red blood cells. If you move more, your body might reject the bots. That serves as a short incubation period. Think of the robots as a virus, it'll have an incubation period where the pathogens enter the host. Prodromal, where the symptoms appear. Period of illness, I know that you were already aware of that part. Period of decline, the symptoms are declining and also the pathogens. Finally, the convalescent period where the pathogens and the symptoms are gone. In Heimdall's case, that span of five minutes is the incubation. Inside of the remaining ten minutes, the rest of the stages are going to happen. There are no bad effects on that unless the procedure on putting that watch is wrong. If you put recklessly, the bots might go malfunctioning." The blonde said while typing something on the computer then faced her.

"What are you, Nine?" Trance asked her. Nine simply smile and pulled out the katana from its sheath before pushing it back.

"Me?" She shrugged and tied her long blonde hair that reaches her thighs and she hasn't combed yet.

"She's the scientist and also the mechanic here, Trance!" Artemis responded then went back to watching the movie on her phone together with the remaining three.

"Now, I want you to touch this." Nine handed her the katana and Trance obeyed what she said then the blonde put the katana back on the table.

"Visualize the katana on your mind." Trance closes her eyes and visualizes the sword earlier. Without any milliseconds, the sword appeared in her hand.

"What the?!" The remaining four looked at them while Trance admired the sword in disbelief.

"Is this black magic or what?"

"No magic, pure science." Nine leaned at the table while holding a gun.

"Like what I've said, the robots entered your central nervous system that's why do both of them associated with each other. The bots of Heimdall are using visual or photographic memory. So if you think or visualize the stuff you touch, it will appear in your hands. It'll only work on the specialized stuff or the thing you touched. For that to appear in front of you, you need to touch it so those special bots will be transported on it. Heimdall only needs your fingerprints to transport things." Trance stared at the expensive watch before she averted her gaze at Nine.

"Does it affect when I touched someone?" The blonde shook her head. "No, Heimdall's process doesn't affect pregnancy, touching someone, or other direct contacts. The Heimdall bots only follow you, the host and it'll only stay on your nervous system. But if you want to transport from this place to another, you should press this." Nine added while illustrating what to do to the younger one and Trance did the same as Nine do.

The blonde successfully made Trance look at her in awe. Nine is indeed a genius but she knows that the gadget is only acknowledged by Excalibur since they have a bad conclusion about this when it reaches the public.

"Is this an alien technology?" Trance asked her.

"Of course not. Raiding area 51 just to choke the creature and squeeze the knowledge out of their mind is not my style."

"But you did choke Tsubaki," Kai commented. Five of them laughed.

"Hey! Tsubaki is not an alien." Artemis said and almost teared up.

"I heard that," Tsubaki commented as he closed the door behind him. Trance and the others laughed hardly.

"Nice pun, Kai. I like it." He added sarcastically while glaring at the brunette. Kai just gives him a smug face, making Tsubaki attack him by pinching both of his cheeks and stretching them.

"Enough! Hey!" Kai cried and almost teared up. Tsubaki did release him and looked at the rest. "Headmistress Victoria wants all of you to her office, immediately."

"I summoned six of you here because I want to inform you about the new unit that I'm planning to make," Victoria said while darting her eyes at them.

"Any questions?" Trance raised her hand.

"Uhh, why I'm here again?"

"Because you're a part of the new unit," Victoria replied with a sweet smile. She slammed the six files on the coffee table before she crossed her legs.

"The faultlessly chosen agents for an ace unit of Excalibur. We have hundreds of candidates for this one but only the six of you are the chosen."

"Agent 0917, the huntress, a bounty hunter from the tribe at the Amazon. I declared openly that 0917 will be the captain." Artemis looked at the lady in shock and pointed herself and Victoria nodded as a response.

"Yes, you." Artemis gasped in disbelief and Victoria giggled then averted her gaze at Hera.

"Agent 0807, 0917's counterpart, Is her companion." Hera clung her hand playfully at Artemis' neck, making the older one smirk at her

"I'll be putting Agent 0927 and Agent 0113 under your command."

"Also, I'll be putting Agent 0923 and Agent 0315 under your command." She stood up and take a sheathed sword on the top of the fireplace and pulled the blade out of the cover.

"This is the Excalibur, the sword where the organization is named after. The legendary sword of the one and only King Arthur." Victoria introduced.

"It's the real one, that sword back on England is just a replica." She added. Hera is the one who kneeled first before the others followed. Victoria tapped the flat surface of the sword on Hera's left and right shoulders before she did the same on the rest

"I, Victoria Priam am now officially announced the six of you as the newest and d class unit of Excalibur. The Falcon Elite Unit. You will only follow the headmistress, commander, and the captain of the unit." Victoria announced as the shiny sword tapped the carpeted floor but it still creates a small thud. The six-person kneeling now in front of her remained their head held down.

"Stand up now, Falcons. I know you have a question regarding the unit's name." They obeyed her and Sabrina did what she was expecting.

"That's right, Headmistress Victoria. Why Falcons?"

"I named you Falcons not because it's unique and Eagle is common. I named you Falcon because I know you're better than Eagle in your ways. However, with Artemis as your captain and Hera as her companion also the four of you, I'm sure the unit will bring victory to us." Artemis and others teased both of them while Victoria shook her head.

"Six of you are now a unit, you shall act like one. I expect good mission results from you, Falcons." Victoria added.

"Excuse me, Headmistress Victoria. Can I go now? I have outputs to answer and study." Trance interrupted. Kai clung his arm around her playfully and Nine did the same.

"We're going to help you with that, Izanami." Nine retorted.

"Alright, you guys can go now. Trance, you're going to school now." They cheered up and went outside.

"Okay, Headmistress Victoria. Copy that! Have a good day!"
