[Leona takes Karma to the Medical Unit of Etherion and Nova is informed about the situation]

(Karma lies unconscious in a hospital ward and being looked after by a mature woman, decently dressed and wearing a lab coat. Her black hair and eye combo coupled with her mature figure made her look respected but for some reason, she had an irritating look on her face. She lets out a sigh of relief after taking Karma's pulse.)

Minerva: He's finally settled down.

[Head of Gates of Heaven's Medical Unit, Minerva.]

Nova: How's he doing?

Minerva: He's doing fine for someone who lost most of his abdomen?

Nova: I see.

(Minerva suddenly realized she had responded by reflex and turns around to take a look at Nova.)

Minerva: Huh? When the hell did you get in? And don't you knock. (No wonder I was feeling irritated for some reason).

Nova: I teleported here.

Minerva: Teleport outside next time.

(A gentle knock on the door is heard and Leona's voice I'd heard.)

Leona: Excuse me.

Minerva: Now here's someone with manners. You can come in.

Leona: Good day to you, Minerva-sensei. Nova-sensei?

Minerva: You're still making them call you Sensei?

Nova: It sounds cooler and Yo, I just got back.

Minerva: Are you sure you should be moving around?

Leona: Yes. I've recovered my stamina and I didn't have any injuries.

Nova: That's good, would you mind explaining what happened during the mission?

Minerva: Go read the report, it happened in Yami City anyways.

Nova: It's a hassle.

(Venus barges into the Ward with a worried look on her face.)

Venus: Minerva-sensei, is it true? What happened?

Nova: (And she complains about them calling me Sensei.)

(As if she could read his mind, Minerva turns towards Nova with an intimidating aura around her.)

Minerva: Do you have something to say Nova?

Nova: Nope, I'm good.

(Venus sees Karma on the bed with multiple bandages wrapped around him.)

Venus: What happened to him? Is he alright?

Nova: Sadly, he's in critical condition. We might lose him at any moment.

Venus: That's just terrible. Who did this go him?

Leone: Since when did you care about Karma? And this is Karma we're talking about here.

Venus: Since I found out he's resistant to my Love Curse.

Nova: Hahaha.

Minerva: That's a mean thing to do, Nova. You're as irresponsible as always.

Venus: What?

Leone: He's fine now, Nova-sensei was just messing with you.

Venus {Pouting}: Sensei.

Nova: It's pretty good to develop feelings for a fellow Saiya. Bonds make people stronger but only when you put in effort to protect what's precious to you.

Minerva: (I guess I'll let him off the hook for now).

Nova: Now, Leone, let's hear it.

(Leone narrates the mission in every detail to all three of them. Minerva and Nova seemed deep in thought while Venus was amazed by the tale.)

Nova: I see. So your sword lost power when Karma held it.

Venus: He really did all that with these injuries?

Minerva: I was surprised when I also read the report. I looked up the archives and it appears Sheath was actually a real Demon Emperor whom Merlin sealed away.

Leone: So he wasn't lying?

Minerva: Still, taking on both Lancelot and Sheath at the same time. You were both lucky to escape with your lives. I think Lancelot initially limited his power to avoid detection by the Gates of Heaven and he was injured later. Sheath who had been sealed for a long time didn't have most of his powers otherwise....

Leone: If it hadn't been for Karma, I wouldn't be here right now.

(Nova who had remained silent for a while suddenly shouts out and comes to life. He walks over to Karma's bed while Minerva questions his sudden energetic movement. He kicks Karma bed urging him to wake up.)

Minerva: Hey, he's seriously hurt.

Nova: I know. Karma, get up.

Minerva: Did you hear what I just said?

Nova: Oh I know. Get up and I'll treat you to all you can eat lunch.

Leone: Like that'll work.

Karma: Really?

Leone: He's up.

Minerva: (There is no way he should be able to wake up with these injuries).

Karma: And one thing we weren't lucky to escape, we fought our way through to the win.

Nova: Of course you did, you're my students after all. Plus, I'd kill you if you had died.

Karma: (When did I become your student?)

Leone: (Somehow, I feel like he can actually do that).

Nova: Now, for the main reason I woke you up. I've come to a conclusion about you, Karma.

Karma: About me? Just what the fuck are you going to say to have such a serious look on your face? I'm the son of the Devil?

Minerva: Language.

Nova: I'd be glad if that was the case but it's something much worse.

Karma: Wait, you're serious? Am I the Devil himself?

Venus: Could you stop saying Devil?

Nova: After watching you fight and with what Leona reported, Karma, you're a one in an infinite possibilities that can ever exist.

Minerva: What are you talking about?

Karma: (This better not be his usual bullshit).

Nova: Hexen is a blanket term for all the types of energy that exists and nothing can exist without it.

[Hexen: The overall form of all types on energy in existence. It is a natural flow of energy known to be the resources used to create everything, the universe is over flowing with hexen known to be the Power Of Imagination that the "Creator" used to bring forth creation.

In it's pure undiluted form it can only be used by immortals or "gods". The fraction of Mortals who can sense pure Hexen is negligible almost nonexistent and those who can manipulate it while being mortals are even far less. Legends and Heroes were able to use it for the creation of other powers e.g Mana, Ki e.t.c engraved into Relics, Ancient Weapons, Grimores and artifacts which was now usable by mortals.

Hexen is known as the power of imagination, so a strong imagination and willpower greatly affect the amount of power one can wield from Hexen. The Innate Ability one gains from Hexen has a deep rooted meaning either as a response to a dream, a goal or even something as trivial as just imagination and showing off.

Hexen is divided into Positive and Negative Hexen which then take forms as different types of energy.

Positive Hexen: Ki (Condensed Hexen which originated from the lower abdomen or Core and spreads throughout the body), Chakra, Force, Mana (Hexen that's transformed in the heart and used to perform Magic),

Neutral: Willpower (not direct energy manipulation but instead grants different abilities to users depending on the strength of their will), Spiritual Energy

Negative Hexen: Cursed Energy (Generated by condensation and manifestation of negative emotions to take create a type of energy), Dark Mana, Demonic Ki (Ki of demons used to practice their own martial arts)]

Leone: We already know this.

Nova: Even you have it Karma.

Karma: Not a chance.

Nova: What's being generated inside you Karma isn't just Hexen...

Venus: Then what is it?

Nova: A long forgotten fairy tale, a thing of legends, a one in an infinite possibility, AntiHexen.

Minerva: Impossible.

Venus: What's AntiHexen?

Minerva: An abomination of the past. It's something that shouldn't even exist since it contrasts the natural Hexen in which we all possess. According to legend, AntiHexen consumes any and everything it comes into contact with.

Leone: Does such a thing even exist?

Minerva: The ultimate destructive power, an uncontrollable power known as AntiHexen. Though it's existence was never confirmed, it was labeled an abomination.

Venus: An abomination?

Minerva: Not just any Abomination, the highest level abomination there is.

Karma: AntiHexen?

Nova: Yeah. But if he can learn to control it, he'll be a great asset to Etherion.

Minerva: How can his body even contain it?

Nova: I don't know but the main problem is control. You need to learn how to control it and keep it from going berserk.

Karma: Why's that?

Nova: AntiHexen consumes everything made from Hexen which means everything that exists. If accidentally released, it would become and unstoppable force which will destroy everything in it's path. Even I wouldn't be able to stop it.

Karma: That'd be cool to see.

Nova: I know right.

Minerva: You idiot, you're supposed to make it sound dangerous not awesome.

Leone: So he needs to learn how to control it, so it won't go free in nature.

Minerva: If that happens the entirety of existence, not just our Universe or Multiverse, everything would be as good as destroyed.

Venus: Well control is easy.

Nova: No, not in this case. We know absolutely nothing about AntiHexen apart from the fact that it exists which was just confirmed.

Minerva: Before any of that happens, you have heal up first. Now, everyone out and you, Karma, sleep.

Leone: Rest up.

Venus: I'll come check up on you later.

Karma: Go away. And who are you?

Nova: See you later.

Karma: Shut up.

(A few minutes after they all leave, Leone sneaks back into Karma's room. Karma stares at her intensely and she avoided his glare by looking down. Leone avoids eye contact with Karma before she begins speaking.)

Leone: Karma, so you aren't going to ask?

Karma: About?

Leona: Why I dress and act like a boy? I even went as far as using transformation magic. I'm sure you were curious.

(Karma lies back down on his bed disappointed and uninterested in the reason for her visit.k

Karma: No, I knew you were a girl from the first day I saw you.

Leona: How?

Karma: Your smell.

Leona: (So he can even differentiate between genders just by smell?) Only a few people like Minerva-sensei and Nova-sensei know about it.

Karma: It's your secret, I don't care about it.

Leone: I see  Thank you. I'll leave you to rest now.

(Leone exits the room and closes the door behind her. She doesn't leave immediately but stands the door frustrated)

Leone: Lancelot? I need to get stronger so my brother will acknowledge my power.

(Minerva and Nova stand at the other end of the hallway outside Leona's line of sight.)

Nova: Hmmm.

Minerva: Is it okay to be spying on you students?

Nova: It should be. Besides, I've got to teach him how to live anyways.

Minerva: How to live?

Nova: Yeah, Karma doesn't know how to live. He only has a goal he's clinging to and making him move forward. Once he achieves that goal, what do you think would happen?

Minerva: I really can't say.

Nova: Exactly. After achieving his goal, he might no longer find a reason to live and might be easily swayed by people. With Karma's prospective prowess that would be disastrous. So, I'll teach him how to live and find a dream or something he'll want to do once this is all over.

Minerva: (He might be careless and free spirited but when it comes to students, there's no better teacher.)

Nova: Maybe he'll conquer the world.

Minerva: (I take it back. I'm worried about his students.)

Nova: Say Minerva, isn't Karma acting a bit weird?

Minerva: Now that you say it, Venus said he was a bit grumpy and Leona also said he changed a bit before the battle.

Nova: I see (So I wasn't wrong. It's like he has mixed personalities. Well, we can always deal with it later). I'm off.

Minerva: Where?

Nova: To investigate for clues about AntiHexen.

Minerva: I'll try to look for anything that might help also.

Nova: That'll be a big help.

Minerva: Should we ask The Head Captain for help?

Nova: Yeah, but I'll do that when I get back.

Minerva: Alright then.

Nova: Have you told Leon about the incident?

Minerva: Yes. He's sent a few members of the 9th Gate out to track down Lancelot.

Nova: I see.

(Nova turns around and teleports away.)

Minerva: AntiHexen, it's still unbelievable.

[AntiHexen: An abomination that isn't supposed to exist. A contrast of Hexen. It attracts and consume Hexen and anything in it's path.]
