Oliver Perceus promised that he would explain anything Einer wanted to know; about Einer's awakening power, or how could Einer be his lost child and his relationship with Einer's mother.
But it all was only if Einer had already recovered. While Einer needed to recover his body after that night, he was served like a young master in Perceus mansion.Einer might need to be used to all treatments, as he always woke up with the soft voice of the butler, and saw some maids come in to help Einer with all he needed on his morning."What breakfast do you want for this morning, Sir Einer?" asked Robert, the butler. Einer was just done taking a bath and preparing to go to the campus."Breakfast? Can't I have breakfast from yesterday's menu?""Of course you can, Sir Einer. You can even have caviar for breakfast every day if you want. I only asked because I thought you would be bored and want a new menu for breakfast."Einer felt a little awkward. A luxury food like caviar was something he couldn't even imagine before, but Robert said like the people in this house were fed up of that thing."Um... I want to ask for anything else.""Please say it, Sir.""Where's Sir Oliver? I wonder when he will see me and talk about a lot of things. He said we would meet again after I recovered.""I'm sorry, Sir Einer, but I have to say that Sir Oliver has been so busy since the day you came. He's usually busy but after you come, he becomes more because he prepares a lot of things for you so you don't need to worry about everything especially to live as a Perceus.""Oh really...?""Of course, you are the son he has been looking for for a long time. And you should get used to calling him father or papa. You don't need to feel awkward, you've proven that you really are the child he's been looking for all this time."Robert helped Einer to prepare his books, while Einer waited for his breakfast on the luxurious single sofa in his room."Robert, are those people my siblings?" asked Einer, "including Lady Garden ....""Yes, Sir Einer. They are all precious children of Perceus and they are just like you.""Do they also have the awakening power like me and Garden?""Yes, they do."Einer was dumbfounded; his hunch was proven correct if those children were the same people as Garden. They had the same intimidating aura, was that the effect of their power?"Perceus had 11 precious children with extraordinary awakening power, and after you came, Perceus became complete. The 12 precious children of Perceus who are the pride of sir Oliver, now have gathered, you can create a very bright future for this family.""Among the 12 children, who is usually the strongest?" asked Einer, he ignored his breakfast to ask Robert many questions."The first child, sir Phillip.""I don't know which one Phillip is.""A person with a calm and cold aura, his snow-white hair symbolizes the power of ice which he controls so well.""Oh... I remember. So he is the first child of Perceus and the strongest.""Even so, you have great potential to become the strongest beyond sir Phillip, Sir Einer."Einer didn't understand. "Why? Is the power of telekinesis really that strong?"Robert faced Einer with his thin smile that was calm and seemed to meaning something. He said, "Yes, telekinesis and mind control powers have always been powers with great potential. But telekinesis is not your power, Sir Einer.""What?" Einer was in shocked. "Then what did I do that time ....?""You'll find out as soon as you're guided directly by sir Oliver," Robert replied, cutting off the conversation while leaving Einer with a new question.Einer ate his breakfast quietly, though his forehead was furrowed and he kept thinking about the answer to his curiosity. Robert placed something on his table, a key that Einer knew what it was."What is this, Robert?" but he asked like he had no clue."My master asked me to hand it over to you if you want to come to the campus today, Sir Einer. Although he didn't focus too much on choosing the best one, but he hopes you like your new car." Robert looked out the window, and Einer could see a luxury car with a navy color—parked in the spacious courtyard of the mansion.Einer was used to living in poverty before this, but he was quite knowledgeable about the automotive world and what Robert called his new car was the latest in the market."Oh my God," Einer was amazed that he accidentally dropped his drinking glass. The maid swiftly cleaned it up so as not to get it on Einer's clothes, while he approached the window and took a closer look at the car. "Is that really mine?""Yes. Sir Oliver kept saying that he hoped you would like the car he chose. He chose it randomly and didn't ask you first, but he had high hopes that you would-""Do all conglomerates choose cars without thinking?""What did you say? I'm sorry.""Robert, this is amazing! That car is the latest in the market and it will only be released next month! Am I the first person on earth to own that car?""Really? You seem to like it so, yes... it could be true.""Robert, I really like it!"Einer was so happy that he grasped Robert's hand as if they were friends. The euphoria was so unstoppable that Einer rushed out of his room on the third floor, just to touch the car up close."This is crazy! So crazy! This car is real and it's mine!"Seeing the expensive car in front of him made Einer momentarily remember his dark and humiliating life. Such a thing was not something Einer could even imagine, but now he had it. This was one proof that he was a Perceus, and of course, Einer would not miss the opportunity to enjoy his current position.Einer started the engine, turning the steering wheel. He drove through the crowded streets of Sancer city, enjoying the moment the luxurious breeze brushed his skin when he opened the car's roof."Is this what it feels like to be a tycoon?" Euphoria soaring to the highest threshold, Einer felt like he was above the cloud nine until his destination ended in front of his campus building.Sancer University, that place didn't leave a good impression considering it was where Einer received the most insults and bullying, not to mention the betrayal of the woman he loved the most. But with his new status, Einer also wondered what would happen, so he got out of the car and made everyone stare at him dumbfounded."Oh my, is that for real? Einer the loser?""How did he get out of that expensive car? Where did he steal it from?""Something like that couldn't have been stolen so easily, and also... that car hasn't even been officially marketed yet! How did he get it?"This time there was no Einer walking in with his head down, he was standing up straight with his face straight ahead. Einer should walk in with his head held high and be proud of himself, he was a Perceus! The people on this campus were even under his feet now.If only they realized."Oh, the bad loser is back."Einer stopped in the main corridor when he heard a voice he recognized very well.In front of him, Chris stood with his friends and of course with Amora beside him. But what stole the show was that Chris' left eye was covered with a thick bandage and that was probably also the reason why he was staring at Einer with anger right now."Do you know how much I'm waiting for the moment when I can see you again, Einer?"Einer remained silent as he saw Chris approaching him with quick steps; he was wary and of course it would not be a good thing if Chris ended up standing right in front of him."I think I missed you a bit. Come here, let me hug you."Einer could see the bad things that would happen to him just by looking at Chris's fist. Every step made him shiver, his body remembering what had happened every time he and Chris interacted. But a second later Einer realized if he no longer had a reason to be afraid, he shouldn't hang his head like a loser. Remember what Oliver said; Einer should be proud, he was a Perceus. "You're done, you damn loser!" With his fear gone, Einer could easily dodge Chris' punch. He stepped aside and made Chris seemed like a joke. Everyone was watching them and Chris, who was holding back his embarrassment, looked at Einer sharply. "What are you doing, loser...?" "Avoiding you. Did you think I'd stay still when you threw your hands at me?" Einer replied, didn't look afraid. But that calm answer made Chris' eyes bulge with anger. "What did you say? How dare you say that?" Chris tried to hit Einer again, but this time Einer was able to hold him back. "It turns out that we're just as strong, but
Einer couldn't drive the car because his head was still a little dizzy, so Garden took his place. During the way home, Garden was so silent that it made Einer think; people who didn't know would think Garden couldn't speak. Einer didn't know how to break this awkward silence, until he saw the small plaster on Garden's forehead. "Lady Garden, I apologize for the wound on your head from that day." Einer had almost forgotten the day he made blood flow down Garden's forehead. Einer thought Garden wouldn't answer, but the woman said, "It doesn't matter, you were just trying to survive." "But aren't you angry?" "I'm used to this kind of thing, and I've had plenty of chances to get it back at you, so don't be shy." Einer swallowed awkwardly, not thinking he would receive such a cold reply but he smiled. "Alright, I'll try to be strong enough to receive your revenge... Garden." Garden glanced at Einer coldly at the man calling her name. "You said not to be shy," if Garden took issue
Oliver led Einer to a place; a part of the Perceus mansion that made Einer marvel at its splendor. "Wow... I didn't think a place like this existed in this mansion," Einer said, following Oliver behind him. Oliver smiled as he guided. "This is the training ground for the awakener in this house. They usually train in that building." Oliver pointed to a large stadium with an elegant futuristic design. "To withstand the great power of the awakener, that building was made with advanced technology and a super strong design. So, don't hold back during training, okay?" Einer smiled faintly, a little shy when Oliver indirectly talked about his strength that Oliver always mentioned as the strongest candidate. Through the glass-walled hallway that allowed Einer to see the vastness of the place where the Perceus awakener were, Einer saw the place he was going to with Oliver. "What is this place?" asked Einer, when the metal door opened after Oliver opened it using his palm scanner. "This is
There were many things that plagued Einer's mind after that day; about his powers, and of course about what Oliver had said. He still couldn't believe it; a mother who loved him so much was the one who tried to take away Einer's power. Einer still couldn't believe, or didn't want to believe that her mother was a bad person who wanted to separate Einer from his father and from the life he was supposed to live. "I forgot to ask about Eleonor," Einer muttered, still in his car and about to head home when he found himself daydreaming for several minutes. Someone knocked on his car's door and made Einer wake up. He saw a panicked-looking Amora Hills, knocking on the glass of Einer's car door a little bit impatiently. Einer opened the glass. "Einer!" Amora greeted him with a loud voice and a sense of impatience, she smiled before pulling it back when she saw Einer who was being cold. Of course Einer would do it. Was Amora shameless to come to Einer while smiling like that after what sh
Einer was quite surprised to see Arthur at the party. He sat up straight and Arthur stood in front of him. "You didn't forget my name, did you?" "Arthur... Grey. Right?" "I'm glad you didn't forget it. May I sit here?" Einer was a little awkward, letting Arthur sit beside him as if they were friends. Honestly seeing Arthur smile at him only made Einer feel uncomfortable, considering they were not friends. "I didn't expect you to be friends with Chelsea Wood," Arthur said, speaking without taking his face away from the party. Einer replied, "I dropped someone off without expecting to be pulled into the party as well." "Oh, is that so... well, it's obvious from your clothes." Arthur looked at Einer, with a faint smile and he said, "Guests who come by invitation will not wear out-of-theme clothes while the theme of the clothes is clearly written in the invitation." Einer held himself back, trying to remain calm as Arthur mocked him so subtly. That soft voice, that sweet smile only
Einer was just silent, not interested in accepting the invitation of those pretty women."I'm fine, I'm just waiting for someone," Einer said, hoping that would be enough of an excuse until one of the women sat on his bench, very close."Well, can I sit here? I might be able to keep you company until the person you're waiting for is back.""Em..." Einer lazily responded. He glanced in another way, uninterested. But the woman was getting closer, and made the other women also approach Einer.What was wrong with them? Einer wondered."I'm Christina, what's your name?""I'm Josephine. Can I have your phone number?""My phone number? What's that for?""Hey, are you interested in becoming an influencer or public figure? I'm Magdalena, I can help you become a famous person."Einer was even more astonished, moving backwards as the women got closer to him."What would I be an influencer for? I'm not interested.""Really? But you have a chance to be so famous." Einer was distracted as Magdalena
At dinner time, Robert knocked on Einer's bedroom door. This time he didn't come with Einer's dinner, but an invitation to go to the dinner table.Einer was surprised, as he never went to the dinner table for breakfast, or dinner with the other Perceus children so he was a little hesitant and scared.But he also couldn't refuse, because even though Robert called it an invitation, Robert was still ordered by Oliver which meant it was also an order for Einer.Finally, Einer followed Robert to the dinner table."How is your body, Sir Einer?" asked Robert, the way to the dining room took a little time since the Perceus mansion was very spacious."My body has fully recovered, you know... it's been a long time since the incident and I've recovered.""I'm happy to hear that. I can't wait to see your training and watch that genius power of yours, if only you'll let me."Einer smiled though somewhat clumsily. The people who knew him as the strongest candidate made Einer somewhat opressed, but
Einer entered the training building for the first time and he was amazed at how spacious it was."Wow!"Garden passed by him, glancing at Einer synically and coldly, making Einer immediately put away his smile to follow Garden towards the center of the arena."I don't know how to teach someone about his powers that I don't know yet, but I'll try," Garden said, making Einer smile at her. "Since I'm not used to teaching, I hope you won't get angry if I make a mistake because of my carelessness... or because I get annoyed."Einer discarded his smile instantly, realizing that it was a warning."Alright."There was no one when they arrived, but then the Perceus children came one by one and saw Einer from the thick glass-lined room upstairs. Einer became nervous."Did they come to watch me?" Einer asked.Garden realized that the other children had already cone."Did you think this would be your private place?" "Oh, I mean....""They come to see what your power is like, and measure your str
