Helena was carried away, not knowing what she had been afflicted with. Was what she did a crime?
It was clear that what she did with Logico and Satomi was a crime, but these weren't police like before. They were people wearing military uniforms. They carried her while she was bound as if they were carrying a wooden plank, then strapped her to a chair amidst the sounds of massive machines roaring outside. Logico appeared and removed the gag from her to let Helena say:
"I expected a possibility like this since you gave me that stimulant...
But is kidnapping a girl inside her home legal?!"
Logico smiled and said:
"GAPI is the only one allowed to violate laws to accomplish missions, and the justification comes later."
"So... what is my charge?"
"My dear, don't worry. The issue is just that there are strange reality readings around you."
Another person entered and said:
"Actually, these distinct readings haven't been recorded since the era of the Rebellion of Deities."
"What does that mean?!"
The official ignored the question, and a tense silence prevailed. Then he said:
"We are currently analyzing the elevated ONTOMETER levels around you."
"Do you mean there is a Reality Manipulator watching me right now?"
The official put his hand to his ear, listening to instructions:
"Yes... we will try to determine their intent..."
His speech was interrupted by a communication from Command, so he went out, for Logico to say:
"Most likely they will release you to see where the flow of the narrative will lead you, but... you will stay with us."
"No, I no longer want to work with you."
Logico squatted in front of Helena and said:
"You are forced to do so. Do you prefer this or that we lock you up as we did with other Avatars and Mary Sues? I was the one who convinced them, my Helena."
The official entered again and ordered her release. Helena didn't want to keep the matter in her intention, so she spoke up saying:
"Logico, you are a failure at undercover work."
"If I were a failure, you would have escaped, haha... Now I will take you to your class."
Satomi was standing there waiting, so she joined Helena and said:
"Why did you stay?"
Helena exploded, saying:
"Logico is a spy for them."
Satomi looked at her, sighed with disgust, and walked ahead:
"She really hates me."
They arrived in front of a building with Roman architecture, but with a height of 400 meters and a width of 1200 meters. The stairs alone would lift them two hundred meters up.
This building was visible before entering this section, but it wasn't of this magnitude. Satomi asked:
"What did they tell you?"
"They said there is some entity watching me from above because reality levels are high around me."
"Are you a hentai anime protagonist or something?"
"How should I know? Their words made me paranoid. Now I feel there is someone leading me to this moment."
"I wish I were an anime or novel protagonist; the plot would always flow in my favor."
"Satomi, do you believe in free will?"
"We started with the trivial philosophical talk.
Oh Futa, philosophy is just points of view on which humanity spent thousands of years and didn't progress until they left its trivial theories and turned to science. Whether you have free will or not, how will this crap benefit us?!
Science is correct if it has utility or credibility in reality.
Anyway, you do what pleases you to satisfy your lusts. In the nothingness of life, wombs push and earth swallows."
"But you and I are immortal, as they say."
"I will probably commit suicide when I feel bored."
"Satomi, do you believe in free will?"
"As long as there are choices and rational justification, there is no free will, and this is reality... Reality is compulsion but with multiple paths...
I told you before, I don't believe any of their crap. I am real, not a fictional character. I think, therefore I am. The cow doesn't think, therefore it doesn't exist... See the triviality of philosophy?"
"Haha, I like the randomness of your speech."
"I am glad I made you happy..."
Logico said:
"There is the hall... And remember, you two are just trainees. Do not speak until you are given permission."
Satomi replied:
"Just get lost, you traitor."
"I could put you in theoretical custody now, but I forgive you."
They entered the hall late, and after Logico justified their delay to the supervisor, they followed the procedures with their squad. She and Satomi became part of the Reality Manipulator Interception Squad, specialized in dealing with entities and anomalies manipulating reality. They entered rooms to take their body measurements for clothes. Afterward was the first class, whose subject was the Transcendence system. The teacher said:
"... Since ancient times, humans noticed the existence of paranormal phenomena in nature that defied logic. For example, the Fire Hoof horse; its body is made of burning organic matter like molten metals at a temperature of 5000 degrees Celsius. The problem was that when the limb was cut, it would burn and evaporate just as ordinary organic matter burns. The limb remained if it stayed connected to the creature..."
Satomi whispered to Helena:
"Like my balls hhh ."
The teacher gave them a deadly look in silence for two whole minutes amidst their tension and dissolving in terror, then continued:
"I continue... There was something hidden, something magical in the world we do not perceive.
Ordinary humans, whom we call Prototypes today, used to notice strange psychological effects when consuming certain herbs and drugs. For example, they became able to see behind walls, predict the future, see spiritual entities, and communicate with them to fulfill needs.
Some soothsayers at that time managed to know the reason for some creatures violating what seems natural. They are elements connected to the spiritual body of the creature enabling it to violate what is natural, and were named the natural Transcendor. However, humans could only benefit from spiritual abilities. As for abilities in the World of Extension, meaning the real world, they couldn't until the mutations appeared that moved humanity to the new update called Tritotype. They alone were able to emit Aura, release their power outward, and use these Transcendors.
Transcendors are divided into the natural ones found in nature, and the artificial ones, also called complex, in which we merge a natural Transcendor according to certain recipes to manufacture them. Follow me."
The trainees followed the supervisor to a hall that looked more like a museum. On the sides of a large glass table, two recruits stood guarding objects that looked like hand-sized artistic pieces of evil human skulls made of black porcelain, penetrated by a hand with five fingers from below as if stuck in the middle. The supervisor said:
"Who among you is a Transmigrator from Planet Earth?"
Helena, Satomi, and four people including a girl raised their hands.
"Hmmm, okay. These things are the first functional weapon you will train to use, and the better you do, the more weapons you get. Any questions?"
One of the trainees said:
"And what is its function?"
"Expected question, and you will know when it is handed to you."
One of the Earthlings raised his hand:
"Will we wear it like a necklace, for example?"
Some of the indigenous inhabitants of Terravasta laughed, and the teacher continued saying:
"Since when did your soul transmigrate?"
"About 3 years ago."
"Three years and you didn't know that Transcendors are hidden in the Astral World?"
"I have never dealt with a Transcendent before."
"Okay, do you know the nature of the Astral World's ontometry?"
"Its ontometry is within the set of Dual Numbers."
"Correct answer...
That world touching our world, within which souls move... A part of you, which is your neurons integrated with each other to produce consciousness, exists inside it. The matter is like the fact that non-liquid water molecules, if gathered in sufficient number and interact with each other, produce the property of liquidity in the classical world outside the realm of quantum mechanics...
Likewise here, the integration of your neurons' work produces consciousness, also called the soul, and exists in the Astral World touching your neurons, which in that world manifests in the form of elementary particles called Cognito that communicate with each other in a way resembling quantum entanglement in its abstract state...
Okay, this is an advanced level for you.
You will learn to insert the Transcendor into that world and also activate it for use."
