'She pummeled me.' Null thought as he walked in pain, he had Ezze steading herself with him as she limped.

She kept making over exaggerated reaction's to the pain she felt...

Atleast to Null...

"Stop being a crybaby" Null said.

Ezze looked at him in shock than looked at him as if she was emotionally hurt.

"Child-ish." Null muttered to himself.

Lumina chuckled as he opened the metallic door of there dorm room.

They entered, as Null assisted Ezze to her room and Lumina entered his own.

Same as Null.

He bathed and changed got out his room and began to prepare food.

But mid process he stopped.

"When did i become the maid for a red panda and light bulb?" Null said to himself then shook his head.

"Don't think too deeply about, i just need them alive, and me a bit of food before i... " Null paused as blood dripped out his nose and cold breath still escaping his maw.

Now this is a problem but one he will have to deal with later, even considered as a way to train himself...

But it... it was an unfavorable method.

Before Null could continue to ponder any further, the other two occupants of the dorm exited their rooms.

Ezze looked tired and sore but grew distracted by the sizzling food, she sat on the couch as she waited.

Lumina sat at one of the end's of the U shaped couch as he sat and fell face first into it.

He groaned grabbing at his shoulder but it wasn't as bad as before, due to Keld being to exhausted.

"0..." He groaned "Food please."

Ezze nodded as she looked at the direction of the kitchen nodding enthusiasticly.

Null looked back at them his eyes cold.

He would of felt irritated but, yet he felt a fickle tinge of irritation, his emotions dulled.

He didn't say anything but rather blew cold air out his nostrils and turned back to preparing there food.

Ezze had a strange expression on her face.

She sat back on the couch, she tapped on Lumina's shoulder the pointed at her eye then at Null, then shaking her head.

"Don't be mean now, Ezze he may be tough around the edges but.,—" before Lumina could finish this thought he was interrupted by the head shacking and rapid typing Ezze made.

When she stopped she displayed.

"His eyes are blue but, their a darker, deeper than usual."

Lumina gained a thoughtfull expression "His eyes sometimes gain a blue hue but, think about having you seen some of the weird things people or Meta's are capable, so i just don't mind it."

Ezze looked at Lumina who buried his face in the cushion, with a contemplating expression she wanted to say more but left it but, there was a question in her head...

'Why was his nose bleeding..?'

Lumina had his own thoughts but, they were not question's.

"There ability is well-known but, this... quirk Null has isn't normal but, what's more curious... does Null know or not."

~~~~–––––––

After a while Null brought there food and ate, Lumina began conversation's it kept the two entertained but, when Lumina shifted the conversation to him it didn't last long, giving short answers.

But even though this didn't ruin the two's mood, he stood done with his food placing it at the sink, he walked to the hallway, but before that he pointed at Lumina then back at the sink filled with a small quantity of dishes and pot's.

"We saved you from a hard situation, so there's the way to say thanks." He said.

Lumina turned his head to look back.

"Woah, ya, i got ya'll in a undesirable situation but come on 0." Lumina said in a playful protest.

"Oh, okay." He turned his gaze to Ezze. "So Ezze you'll wash the dishes?" Null said with a neutral tone and look.

But Ezze didn't look behind her, she shivered as she slid her body lower, not letting her hair poke above the couch.

"That's decided." Null said as he entered his room.

The two were just still, till Lumina turned his head to the only thing that would suggest Ezze was on the couch, a floating hologram.

"If he cooks, he holds the pen, to the rule book."

Lumina looked at it with a deadpan expression as he went back to his dish.

Null walked to his bed, as his eyes turned back to purple, a cloudy pink ring around his black pupil returned.

Then his knee's buckle his hands curled in his hair, as he bent over on the floor knees colliding unceremoniously with the floor.

His eyes dripped of tears.

Hot Hot! Really Hot!

Null has experienced this four times this being his fifth.

Null when younger thought of this as a Meta ability but was mistaken.

From what he has learned was, that when he used it increased his mental function's.

He saw better, his pain dulled but inturn his emotions dulled which he didn't mind rather he welcomed it.

Null thought he might of triggered it when just entering the city but he gained no backlash.

And when using it now he learned an extra affect.

It didn't add upon the current mental function's he had, rather multipled it, he was able to dodge the arrow even though he didn't fall into the deep end of his ability he rather dipped into it when his eyes turned blue, rather than cold and dark.

But even though when he taps into it, he still got backlash but, he was numb to that measure of pain, it gave, that pain used to cripple him when he was younger.

It gave him a headache that made him fall unconscious.

Then when it became lesser of a crippling sensation it became the constant drop of water he let fall in his palm.

But then one day he wanted to see how long or far this ability can go, he discovered this state where he felt as if his head was dunked in ice.

He had a lesser reaction to pain...

Or just none.

His thoughts took in information faster and preserved it after.

He used this, even though of it's pain, he read books before being rudely kicked out of the library.

But he only did that two times unable to bare the pain.

And in which time moved it became different in a way, more sluggish but it was of a small effect till now.

Even though the lesser one was easy to access and was cost effective you could say, the more potent format is a great help, but the side effects were just overly servere.

The brain just like a computer, over exerted it will burnout but, in the case for Null this ability kept his brain in a state which kept him from burning out but, it kept him at the highest point of exertion.

That in a way heated his brain, so like a computer it needed a cooling system.

But turning of the cooling system didn't mean it cold or better yet warm, no it was boiling.

He didn't feel any sort of pain, physical or mental, because this ability had a delay effect, rather than just reducing the pain, it postponed the pain receptors, stacking it, till....

"AAAH!!!"
