As soon as Caijoonyung was in front of the staff members they had him remove his shirt while positioning him in the middle of a medium-sized circular platform then began hooking him up to numerous monitors that had holographic screens projecting from the consoles. The scientists and doctors began poking and prodding the Commander. They filled up several vials of blood and performed many kinds of scans, and he was hooked up to so many wires and tubes that you could have mistaken him for a tentacle monster. The whole process took several hours to complete. Throughout the session, both the gods and demigods stayed quiet and silently watched them work from start to finish.  

Once they were done, the doctors removed most of the wires and tubes from his body and started cleaning up and taking away the machines they no longer needed. As more and more equipment were being removed the room began to feel spacious, not as crowded as it was when he first entered the room. While part of the staff was busy cleaning up, the others were compiling all the data and test results to display on the big screen for all to see.

Man, those tests took longer than I thought they would. I feel like a pin cushion. I am worried about what all of these tests will mean for me. I guess depending on the results I will find out if there is something wrong with my body or not. Hope it won’t be anything serious so it doesn’t ruin things between me and Persephane. Hmm...Maybe this actually might allow me to get closer to her. That would be ideal if that could happen. Looks like they are going to keep these on me still, wonder why though. Thankfully it’s not cold in the room otherwise I would be freezing without my shirt on. I wonder how much longer I will have to be without my shirt on. For that matter, how long do they expect me to stand here on this platform?

“Your majesties, we have concluded all the testing. If you may we will go over all the results. Starting with all the bloodwork and panels we ran, there are no signs of disease or illness. In fact, he is in great condition. Everything is within normal ranges. Now if you look right here in this blood sample, this test we ran looks at all the coding that determines magical abilities, traits, and lineage. If we enhance this part right here and enlarge this section, here is where we notice an irregularity. For reasons we don’t understand, his coding for magical powers and celestial powers are off the charts. This is the irregularity I was talking about. Normally mortals only carry codes for either celestial powers or magical powers, but a person cannot have both codes. There has never been a mortal that has both. By all accounts, Commander Caijoonyung should already be dead or suffering through immense physical and mental pain as both of the codes fight for dominance within his body. Instead, they seem to be balanced and in sync. Also based on the sample here we can determine if these powers have manifested and awakened or if they are in a dormant state,” the lead doctor stated. 

“Does this rare trait pose any kind of a problem? Health or otherwise?”, Juliabethal asked. 

A different doctor spoke up, “No your majesty. As far as we can tell this has had no ill or adverse effects on him. All his vitals are within normal parameters, with a few exceptions. Based on the other data, there seems to be a few anomalies that do not occur in the average mortal.” 

Luciansys looking worried and puzzled asked, “What do you mean by anomaly? Does this pose a danger to himself or others? Could this have any effect on Persephane? I mean since they are constantly with one another.” 

One of the lead scientists replied, “No your majesty. Just like with the results from the blood panels, this does not pose any kind of harm or issue. Since these codes and other anomalies seem to be similar in nature to those that Persephane carries, none of these will have any adverse effects. However, since this is the first of its kind, the best we can do is give estimates of what is possible after reviewing the results.”

So, if I’m following this conversation, which is hard to do since they are using words and other terminology that I have never heard of, it seems like they did find something. Some of it sounded like it was good and some was not good. Based on the context clues I can pick up, it seems like I have some kind of capabilities that the others do not have. It seems like I might be stronger than them as well, but I'm not sure if I'm interpreting that correctly. I suppose I need to listen to the rest to see if what I'm hypothesizing is accurate or not. 

# 

A different scientist fiddles with the holographic screen and pulls up different test results, then they enlarge, enhance, and zoom in on a particular area within his DNA. Once the scientist has the data ready, he hands the lead scientist a small controller to operate the screen. 

# 

“If you look closely right here, you can see the codes and indicators that determine what type of magical abilities you will have once matured. Again, normally mortals have between one to two different types of magic. In Commander Caijoonyung’s case, it’s hard to make out, but from what we can tell based on this test he might have more than two types of magic. This is the first anomaly we noticed right away. Now looking at this other section next to it, these are his codes for celestial powers. With the average mortal, if they have the celestial power codes, we tend to see them support with more support type of traits and not many attack type of traits. His celestial powers are much stronger than that of the average mortal and he seems to have multiple traits within the codes. When looking at them combined, we see they are in sync and perfectly balanced,” the lead scientist explained. 

# 

The gods and demigods looked a bit perplexed by this information. They were unsure of what to make of it. Caijoonyung was still unable to understand everything they were talking about. He for one was happy to know that he is healthy and there was nothing bad found in the results thus far, but he is concerned about what is going to happen to him once all his powers are activated and manifest. The lead scientist moves aside so the lead doctor can take over the next portion of the results. The previous screen the scientist used shrank slightly then moved behind the other screens and displayed the next set of results. The head doctor for the celestial realm opened a few different screens that showed scans of Caijoonyung’s body. On the screens, you can see parts of his skeleton, his organs, and other in-depth images of various parts of him. The head doctor from the celestial realm began to go over his findings. 

# 

“Hello, your majesties good to see you once again. Allow me to show you the results of these tests. Looking at this first screen, we can see all his vital organs. They all are in tip-top shape and nothing is out of the ordinary here. His bones are all normal, nothing out of place, but they are slightly denser when compared to the other mortals. Which is good in my opinion. This is a huge benefit for him given his line of work, it would help him to be sturdier and less likely to get injured. Let’s look at his brain scans. Everything is perfectly normal. We see no signs of trauma or disease. There is nothing to worry about here. Moving on we will take a look at his heart,” the head doctor who came from the celestial realm said. 

# 

The head doctor moved the screens that had his brain scans aside and brought all the tests and scans that were done of his heart. For some reason, Caijoonyung started to become nervous, which made him worried about what they might find. As Caijoonyung was thinking over everything he was able to understand and piece together what this could mean, scared that somehow it could take him out of the line of duty. That was something he didn’t want because then he wouldn’t be able to be with Persephane. As these types of thoughts went through his head, the anxiety of those intrusive thoughts made his heart rate increase slightly. The large circular sensor that was placed on the left side of his chest and covered the majority of the pectoral muscle, detected the change in his heart rate which grabbed the doctor’s attention. The doctor looked at the monitor to see what was going on, and the gods and demigods tried to see what she was looking at. The head doctor pulls up a screen to do a live feed of his heart. 

# 

Ugh, how much longer is this discussion going to take? My legs are getting tired from standing on this platform this entire time. Plus all of this worrying is starting to give me a slight headache. I’m not sure why I am so worried. Especially when they just said that I’m healthy. I guess since I cannot follow everything they are saying, I am worried I might misunderstand or misinterpret what they find in the results. All I know is I don’t want to be removed from my duty. If they decide to do that, I most likely won’t be able to see Persephane. Or at the very least not as often as I have been able to. I want to keep seeing her. I want to get closer to her and learn more about her. There is still so much mystery to her, which turns me on a bit. Probably not the best time to get aroused since I am in a room full of people I don’t know and her family too. Why is my heart starting to beat faster? Is it from my nerves or from the slight arousal I just had? Crap I really don’t want them to notice. If only this thing wasn’t still attached to my chest. Darn it. I think the doctor noticed. 

# 

“Your majesties I was going to show you the scans we took, but I think I will opt to do the live stream instead. Let me just sync up his monitor to this screen here and we will get a clear image along with sound. This will be much better for explaining our findings. Alright, everything is synced so I’m going to begin the live stream. Perfect. Everything is working. Let me go ahead and make it larger so we can have a better view. As you can see here, the heart muscle and overall structure are normal. No signs of abnormal rhythms. No signs of disease. Right now, Commander Caijoonyung is feeling a bit distressed which is making his heart rate slightly elevated. Even beating a little faster, all of it is perfectly healthy. One of the best hearts I have seen so far,” the head doctor told them. 

# 

The head doctor pushed a button on the controller to turn on the volume. After she did that everyone was able to hear his heartbeat in real time. Caijoonyung did his best to try and remain calm and not be nervous so he could lower his heart rate. He really didn’t want them to notice. He worried that if they noticed his heart rate continuing to increase, they would look at him and start questioning why it was happening. Unfortunately, having that new worry only made it worse. His heart started to beat a bit faster. As he feared, everyone noticed. The gods looked at him and asked him why he was so nervous. He tried not to answer the question directly but gave a vague response. It was Juliabethal who used a small amount of calming magic on him to help him to be calm and more relaxed. Immediately his heart rate began to return to normal. 

# 

“Commander Caijoonyung is everything okay? Your heart rate has elevated a bit more than before. If you are feeling nervous, I can assure you that there is nothing wrong. So need to fret,” the head doctor told him. 

“Yes doctor, everything is fine. I’m doing good over here. It might be because of how long I have been standing here,” Caijoonyung replied. 

“Commander Caijoonyung with your permission I’m going to use a simple spell to help calm you. Do I have your permission?” Juliabethal asked him. 

“Yes, goddess Juliabethal. You have my permission,” he said. 

“There we go. Nice and steady beat. Thank you goddess Juliabethal. Going back to what I wanted to show you. If we look at the back of his heart, we do notice he has some nodules there. They do not appear to be life-threatening or anything. This is the other anomaly we found. This growth that covers the entire back of his heart, appears to be extra heart chambers. However, they look underdeveloped. Regardless, they are functional, and they are supplying extra blood to his entire body. It ties into the next anomaly we found. Taking a look at his muscles we see that the muscle tissue is thicker along with having more connective tissue. We were unsure of what this meant looking at each one individually, but piecing them together, we can infer that Commander Caijoonyung might be a hybrid and has the ability to shapeshift. If that is the case then that explains the need for extra blood supply as well as more muscle groups and connective tissue,” the head doctor stated.  

Claudeleous asked one of the doctors who specializes in magical essences, “What about his soul gem? We determined that it was the source of the leak of his magical and celestial essences. Does this somehow tie into the results?” 

The doctor specializing in magic replied, “Yes god Claudeleous it does. Unfortunately, we are unsure how everything is connected. We are just sure that there is a connection between the findings. However, with that much essence leaking out of his soul gem, he should be dead. Somehow, by a miracle, he has managed to survive this long.” 

# 

The gods and demigods seemed to be impressed by the results. There was just one thing that concerned them. Someone other than themselves created a hybrid without them knowing and has been hiding in plain sight. However, if everything the doctors and scientists said is accurate, then that means he was also created for a purpose. That purpose might tie into Persephane’s destiny. Only time will tell. For now, it looks like Commander Caijoonyung is to be her knight. The gods dismiss everyone and tell their ethereal realm doctors to return to the ethereal realm. The gods leave first, but before they cut the transmission, they tell the demigods that they will be in contact again after they have had the time to discuss everything that they have learned.
