After the huge surprise fall on all of the researchers staff present, the scene turned into complete silence, if not for the continues beeping sound of the devices here, some could even think that they were under the effect of a Mental-interference Magic or something like that, just from the pure shock on all of their faces and how drained of colors they currently looked like .
The researcher who initiated the whole scene stumbled on the chair he was sitting on and fall on the ground creating a bit of ruckus as he fell, the ruckus he made was enough to awake the other researchers from their in trance like state, but their face still looking pale and most of them still had horrified expressions on their faces .
The scene continued to be deathly quiet for a minute or two, before the head researcher cleared his throat and coughed slightly in try of easing the tensed nerves of his subordinates a bit, even though he himself was still shuddering a minute before, seeing that his interference had a bit of an effect on calming down the agitated subordinates and comrades of his, he then continued to say In apologetic tone :
I guess the rumors about that woman's name being feared more than the grandeur family name behind her were true after all, whom am i kidding both are Yotsuba, but you see even though that original body which we cloned belonged to the body of her late son, the circumstances of her getting pregnant and giving birth were something that will most likely have no implications on us whatsoever, we even might be a bit thankful to these circumstances otherwise, you already know the rest, a clan capable of overthrown dynasties like Dahan, attracting the enmity of that clan, would be nothing short of a death wish .
Doctor, what are those circumstances exactly, if i may ask , one of the researchers couldn't help but wonder about the nature of those circumstances, as it quite apperant that the head researcher of the team have some unpublished information about that subject, so the said researcher couldn't help but ask wonderingly yet cautiously attitude .
Before saying anything more, you should first confirm whether you will be able to withstand the severity of the information that i'm going to divulge with you next and whether do you want to continue with the current project at hand, this is your last chance to withdrawal from here on out, either you live while withholding those bits of information or you will end like Maglan here .
After he finished saying this, the only sound that was apperant was the swallowing of saliva sounds, that appeared collectively and almost simultaneously, quite indication of how severe the next set of information was going to be .
Then it was the deathly silence from before appearing once again, but a few seconds later a researcher raised his hand and only spouted one sentence " sorry guysbuti'm out " he then stood up from his chair bowed in the direction of the head researcher and his fellow researchers and left the room without looking back or saying another word, his movements were a bit uneasy, pretty much indicating the poor mental state he currently had .
But after that guy, there was no second person to stand up and do the same, maybe they were curious, maybe they were just determined to continue the project at hand or maybe some of them were just unaware of how severe their situation was, so they stayed seated in their chairs but turned to look at the head researcher of their with full attention .
I have no doubt that dr.Yanagi someway made the right decision, but i do also believe that those of you who stayed did too, he will have his memories about joining this project altered then he will join the staff working at the official facility above, so no need to worry about the consequences of withdrawing, for the last time is there anyone else wants to withdraw .
He stayed silent for a few seconds as if to give them some time to think, then seeing no one getting up or raising his hand he said : launch the silent room protocol .
The staff hurriedly fiddled with a few buttons and the room was directly engulfed in with a greenish like light curtain made of lights which washed over the whole room then it directly dissipated one second after .
The Yotsuba Genzou the first Yotsuba family head and the man responsible for the collapse of Dahan .
The incident happened a few years ago during AD 2062, Genzou's youngest twin daughter, Yotsuba Maya, was kidnapped by the Kunlunfang Institute in Dahan and was experimented on, the result of that all out war, 30 family member of the Yotsuba family fell including the clan head Genzou himself, but Dahan in that war lost 4000 of its elite figures and forces and all their research on magic was lost which led to its collapsing and getting stripped of its state as an independent country .
The circumstances i'm talking about are related to the state of Yotsuba Maya after her rescued, i don't have much details but it more like bits of gossips i was able to get from here and there but it was confirmed by the infant body we were able to get our hands on for this special project .
Yotsuba Maya was with child when she got back, that child fate was decided to be a suicidal magician against the Great Asian Union which Dahan was absorbed into .
I don't know the reason to why something like this was decided, but it was decided by the second head of the Yotsuba family that the pregnancy must be completed, but in a special kind of circumstances the kid was born dead for unknown reason, even though there was nothing wrong with him at first .
The plan for the kid got disposed of and he was set to be buried in the Yotsuba family's servants graveyard, but some known yet great influential party defiled the graveyard and brought his fresh body to be a test subjects for the next set of future powerful augmented magician, that's what led to this point, there is a lot of details that i don't have so i would appreciate you not asking any more questions about this, all of you will have to partake in an oath making ritual where you will swear an oath of not saying anything about this conversation from here on out, for your sake and the families behind you as well .
He finished all the explanation and appeared to be quite mentally tired about this whole subject as he then succumbed to his chair and he began to massage his temple with his fingers, leaving the researchers enough time to digest the new information he had just given them .
He gave them a last remark after he finally calmed down his nerves a bit, saying : But it is not like the Yotsuba will be dissatisfied with the results or the process of our project, in fact they might even award us for it, if they found out about the success we had with number 40, after all most of the Ten Master Clans to this day are trying to make the most perfect and complete magician, we have already made one, how to multiply and get the same results is still quite far, but we will be able to reach there eventually, then the whole world will acknowledge our contribution to the International Magic Association (IMA) .
Matsumoto Base where we are stationed, is quite an eyesore in the eyes of the Ten Master Clans, but it's also the perfect cover which we can use to operate without much care about the information agencies or the influence of the Ten Master Clans, so just do your work and wait for the magnificent results to come .
As he finished saying all of this he once again sat on his chair as if not caring about anything no more, a second later a round of applause started as if already agreeing or maybe even celebrating the words that the head researcher just said, the round of applause continued for a 5 minutes or so .
After the round of applauding ended, all sat back to their chairs and start working to analyze the date they got even harder than before as if their passion for success had just being once more ignited .
The doctor noticing this nodded approvingly internally to himself and started viewing a lot of the new data coming to him earnestly, he ordered for the protocol to be turned off and pushed a button, seconds later a group of armored soldiers entered the room and swept the body on the ground in a natural and unbothered manner as if they were accustomed to doing so or had no opinion about it for all that matters, after fetching the body they once again retreat from the same door they came in from, finishing their job silently and efficiently .
The doctor's expression turned stern as he watched this scene unfold, but like the guards after reminiscing for a bit he let go of his emotional attachments and continued to fiddle through the data reports in front of him with one particular data report catching his eyes, the report have a detailed information about the sample 40 magical invocation ability, one particular line made the sample in discuss being called perfect " Doesn't Require A Sequence Nor A CAD To Invoc Magic .
A Magic Technician, or Magician is an individual imparted with Magic. Magicians are able to manipulate Psions which makes it possible to alter the Eidos, the fundamental information body that all physical and non-physical phenomena have. In the past called Supernatural Power Users, the name changed once magic became a technical skill, thus making them "Magic Technicians."
It is said that only 1 in 1000 teenagers have magical talent which becomes 1 in 10000 adults after taking into consideration the loss of power due to stress during the growth process. However, this is only counting those with practical level magic — those with combat level magic are undoubtedly rarer .
What makes a Magician different from other humans is the Magic Calculation Area in their brain. Without it, a Magician is not be able to have the fine Psion control necessary for magic. Furthermore, Magic Sequences and rituals usually have the strength, targets, and ending requirements of spells determined by the Magic Calculation Area, allowing for variability in magic even if the same Activation Sequence is used. A person, even if they are a genius, will be unable to cast even a simple single process spell without having a Magic Calculation Area, so number 40 Infinity is quite remarkable even among magicians.
After expansion, the expanded activation sequence is read by the magic processing area in the subconscious and variables such as coordinates, output, and duration are inputted, the result is inserted alongside the activation sequence and gives rise to the completed magic ritual. This complete magic ritual is taken from the operations area of the subconscious and transferred to the lowest level of the conscious, the 'root', from the area between the conscious and the subconscious, the 'gate', whereupon it can be projected upon the outside world, as the magic ritual projects and targets 'information events' — in the study of modern magic, these are named 'Eidos' .
We believe that ability or supernatural power was what forced this kind of mutation in the ability to forcefully control psions to change the Eidos forcefully and invoking phenomena, something that must be noted is that this ability in itself isn't rare to be seen, especially in the Ancient Magic Users that is in a complete contrast with Modern Magic with its deficiency of being slow and difficult to meet certain condition will utmost results in the invocation of phenomena or the magical ritual to completely fail .
But that where number 40 is once again come to confirm his uniqueness, due to the number of psions he can accommodate and invoke thanks to Infinity, he became something akin to a CAD himself, his ability to process activation sequences is incomprehensibly fast, but we don't know the reason to that but we for now attributed it to be a result of his vast Magic Calculation Area his subconscious recognize every activation sequence he sees and not only store it for the moment his conscious need to recall it, no, he is able to directly recall it from memory without need of going through the normal procedure, making him the only person capable of such speed in casting, we called this ability of his Absolute Casting .
His uniqueness made him a perfect magician through and through, no matter the magic system he used .
The boy in front of us is a freak of nature, one to be feared and revered, his magical ability is restricted due to the instability and the nativity of his amount of psions he control and able to harness, that problem is of our making, since the psion waves and storms he unknowingly caused in the last years, left us no choice but to build an Antinte like cage around him to keep jamming psions circling around him, his lessons in harnessing magic also stooped due to the possibility of him destroying the whole base, with a weak C psion bullet .
We were forced to keep trying to contact our main sponsor to help us relocate to another suitable section for the next part of experiment, but more than a decade had passed before we are able to finally made contact, luckily the results were quite satisfactory, with the help and the promise of the Saegusa family head, all will come well soon, my dearest creation .
He looked at the big screen in front of him and saw that it was turned off, he looked at the watch at hand then saw that the time was quite right so he ordered : turn the surveillance cameras on, he woke up .
The screen instantly lit and what came in view was a live recording of a white plain furnitured room with only a bed and a table and a mat to sit on, in front of the camera lenses stood a kid 1.8 meters tall with a handsome features and a fair pale face with a long white hair which was left unkempt, he was an epitomy of handsomeness, the moment he appeared on the screen a few sighs seeped out of the mouths of the females in the staff, the guy kept staring intently at the camera with his purple like amethyst eyes, for some reason his eyes were still a bit tearful yet his expression was that of a frown and a deadpan serious expression as before, on his body he wore a plain white gown, he was connected to a few machines in the room, but they didn't hinder his movements that much .
Good morning number 40 .
The boy just backed away from the camera and stood there staring in the direction of the control room as if he was already aware of where the sound came from, the doctor was about to say something in the room microphone, when a male researcher suddenly said :
The sensors in the room are reporting that number 40 have been awake this hole time sir, his crying stooped exactly when you mentioned Yotsuba Maya and the Yotsuba family .
Huh, that's impossible, he can't possibly....
A second later all the sirens in the room and the entire facility went off, with the screen suddenly cut off the live stream and a few warning tabs suddenly appeared on all over the screen .
W...e m...ig..ht ha...ve m.ad..e a gra..ve mist...ake .
