With the sudden commotion, Libra and Gemi stopped to take a look at what was happening between the other two while Libra was stuck in Gemi's chokehold.

What they saw was a Cole with eyes that were at an absolute zero in terms of temperature and a Mini stuck on the floor with coiled by metal wires connecting to Cole's hands.

Realizing his mistake, Cole retracted the metal wires and then spun them into the shape of a compact yarn ball.

"Weird, I thought you're〈ESP〉was something like magnetism?"

Mini said with confusion on his face as he rubbed his arms that went a little red from the wires.

"It's more like Magneto's ability, I guess. I just do it better than him."

"Hmm..."

Gemi released Libra from her chokehold, causing her head to plop down on the floor and dusted off the miniscule amounts of dirt off her white lab coat and walked next to Cole.

"As you saw, that was my brother's〈Vanish〉. An ability that allows him to erase his presence and essentially 'vanish.' The problem is that it only erases his presence and he has to conceal his sound and scent."

"It's actually quite easy!"

"Shut up, Shadow Walker."

Gemi shut down Mini chance to show off with eyes nearly as cold as Cole's.

Mini still kept on a smug smile which caused her to grind her teeth in frustration.

She took a deep breath and faced Cole who was thinking of this.

'It must be nice being that close...'

Cole's expresseion darkened for a bit but it immediately returned to his usual deadpan face when Gemi faced him.

"My〈ESP〉is called (self-named)〈Time Heals All〉And that's exactly what it does."

Gemi then immediately kicked Mini, who was stiing cross-legged down on the floor, right in the face to which he swiftly responded with a loud...

"...F*CK YOU!"

He still got kicked in the face, though.

Gemi then crouched down and slapped on the spot where she had kicked Mini but as Gemi slapped him, her palm glowed with a sky-blue light.

Cole revealed obvious confusion in his eyes, while the rest of his face stayed as still as ever.

Some seconds of an awkward silence passed and Mini's face had healed.

Gemi then turned her head to face Cole and continued to explain.

"Basically, I can heal any wound and/or diseases, no matter the severity but it will take a certain amount of time depending on the severeness of it. Of course, I can't bring back a dead person. Their〈Time〉would have already ended and affet them no longer."

When Gemk had finished her sentence, Mini promptly punched her in the face.


"...*Sigh*"

Gemi sighed and then slapped the part of her face that Mini punched.

"If you're wondering why I slapped myself, it's because I have to slap the afflicted part to heal it. If it's in the inside, I have to make the slap hard enough that it reaches."

"..."

Cole put on a face of pity and pulled up a digital keyboard and then pressed the 'F' button to pay respects to all the patients that were treated by Gemi.

"Then what about〈S.T.E.L.L.A〉's background and purpose?"

"I'll be the one explaining that."

Cole's question was answered by the owner of a voice who he had totally forgotten the existence of. (Well, not really, he's too cautious for that.

Cole put the sofa back in position and got comfortable while he could because he felt he would be swimming in an information garbage heap in a bit.

"Ahem..."

Libra fakely cleared their throat a bit before finally starting.

"Basically,〈S.T.E.L.L.A〉is an organization mainly run by Mechanicas and Spirits together to maintain balance between all the zones. There are 13 Department Heads who follow a Zodiac theme."

"Every single person is divided into groups of 3 to 5 pairs and are treated as a squad, including the Department Heads and are classified by ranks. They go take missions maintaining he balance od whatever, yada, yada, yada, ya."

It seems that Libra quickly got tired of explaining stuff and their face already looked to be bored and tired out of their mind.

"Oh yeah, although the leader is〈Aries〉, the〈Libra〉position is the most important one."

Mini added on since it seems that Libra couldn't be bothered anymore, apparently they were extremely lazy.

"Wait, really? But it's as if you just randomly recruited me. You don't do special checks or whatever?"

Cole instantly became a lot more worried for the security of his new workplace.

"We normally do that but a very important sponsor, who you apparently know quite well, recommended you. So... Not much to worry about."

Gemi said half-assedly.

"We'll have our first mission tomorrow, same time as today."

"Oh yeah, Cole. What color do you want for your office?"

"Black."

After responding to Gemi's question Cole lifted up Libra and cartied them like a sack, to which they were too lazy to care about at the moment and bid farewell to the two.

'As for what magic I get from Libra... I'll interrogate them later.

Although before Cole went out, he jumped over something for no reason, and then he left.

"Tsk."

A few minutes later, another dude came bursting into the office.

"Department Heads Gemi and Mini! Who was that--"

*THUNK*

A big thunk was then heard from where they tried to step forward, causing the random person's face to distort in pain and tripping him.

Afer the man tripped, a black, heavy mahine gun slowly faded into existence.

"Hahahaha..."

"Well, that was a bit mean, Mini."

"Shut up."

"...Owie..."
