"DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!", said Paulina as she looked at Nico after looking at the book and finding out what his ability is. Nico looks like he just saw a naked old woman, he has no idea what to do.
Paulina tells him sorry for his hair and promises to braid it to a better style, Nico doesn't give a shit about that but only cares about his ability, he immediately asks her to play rock, paper, scissors with him. She agrees.
He pulls out rock while she pulls out scissors, maybe it's a mere coincidence, they play over and over and over and he keeps on winning, till then he loses. Paulina knows he lost because he wasn't playing anymore, so it doesn't count as a loss.
Nico realizes that he only wins challenges that he's involved in and obviously he won't win in an obvious way, Paulina grabs his hands like before, their aura's begin to glow, the book and pen appear again and when the pen is done writing, the following was stated:
The ability, The Winner is an ability that let's Nico Stars to win no matter what. Example, When Nico was younger his primary school had an inter-house sport event, he was in the Noon house and had lost a race but his team had won the inter-house sport event making him a winner.
It may not seem as though he won but if he sees anything as a challenge, he'll win it, Nico hadn't cared about the race because he only wanted to eat that day, so he could've won even though his ability wasn't activated but he lost while his team won because he desperately wanted his team to win, he saw the whole thing as a challenge for his team and not for him, so you could say he shared his aura with his team to help them win.
"It is true, I never gave a shit about my race, I only wanted my team to win" Nico said in a normal manner, Paulina nodded with her usual pretty smile.
Nico asked her what her ability was, she told him she was a manifester, her Life Energy Output is called The Constitution and the ability works by her creating a law and the book makes it come to pass.
"Then how did it tell you somethings about myself??, that has nothing to do with laws" Nico asks her with a confused/annoyed expression, She tells him that she created a law that let's her to know some info about him it e.g his blood type, age, Life Energy Output e.t.c. and for it to be written down in The Constitution so that the both of them can read it.
Nico is awed, his brain is literally amazed by how cool his and Paulina's abilities are. She tells him to come to the bed and sit down, she sits behind him and begins to braid his hair. "I'll give you some dreadlocks, you'll look so much more attractive, tee-hee, I'm not trying to say you're not attractive right now, I just wanna braid your hair 'cause I'm hella bored" She says with a cute laugh after.
"You said you're a manifester right?, Percy said you're a vessel, so who's wrong?" Nico asks as she adjusts his head so she can braid it properly. "Percy was drunk then, if you didn't notice, I'm a manifester bro" she says while thinking what the rest of the crew are doing on the ship.
Nico asks her where Iris went to, the moment he got on the ship, She doesn't get the question, He tells her that when he got on the ship he got tied up immediately and Iris disappeared, where did she go to. She says Iris was carried away by Sanjay quickly to seem as though she disappeared to get him scared.
Meanwhile on the ship, Midori can't sleep as she thinks of what really drove her to commit suicide, it was really dumb to have wanted to kill herself because of what was going on, on the Island, something doesn't add up.
"AND WHAT THE HELL IS THIS ARMOR!!!!" she shouts with annoyance, she says all the things happening now are really stupid and don't make sense, so why are they happening, the world feels very weird these days or rather everyday even before she was born, as if a great evil has been planning since the dawn of mankind to wreak havoc in the lives of all.
"Suicide, Armor, Death and War, what the fuck do they mean to me!!!, why the hell did dad have to be a gangster, I know for sure people are dead, a lot and there's nothing I can do, I don't even wanna do anything I just wanna be happy but thanks a lot dad for being a mother fucking gangster!!!", She screams this all into her pillow, she wants to get to her Island and see the war stop, when the war ends there'll be peace but many more problems are bound to happen.
She thinks maybe she should join the crew, and not return back to her Island, she'd not die right??, maybe she would because the guild has probably done some things that'd leave a mark on their name and might affect her, wherever she goes she's not safe.
she goes to the bathroom and looks at the mirror and kisses her reflection, then she says "I gotta accept the fact that the world's not a safe place and I gotta enjoy what I have for now, I'll find out what really made me try to commit suicide, I'll stop the war on my Island, I'll help Nico, that pretty boy, find his mom, then I'll kill my dad…..maybe or I'll let him go to jail or summm'n, that's better, smile and get some rest, you hot daughter of a bitch". She leaves the washroom with a the most "WTF" face ever, she finds what she did weird, what of if the mirror has germs, "OH JESUS!!!" she screams, then runs back to her room.
The next day has arrived, Nico looks in front of the mirror in his room and sees his new dreadlocks, he smiles, he sees Paulina sleeping so sound on his bed and can't help but just want to hug her and thank her for braiding such nice hair for him.
He picks up his phone to check the time, it's 7:20 am, and the gang's going on the train by 10, he goes outside and knocks on the others doors to check if they are awake. none of them are awake to no surprise except for Adam.
He greets Adam warmly, Adam does the same, "I heard that you saw my mom in Lodidora" says Nico, Adam nods, Nico asks how she looks, Adam says she looks a bit older, little stretch marks but all and all she's still pretty, Nico laughs but thinks to himself whether or not Adam wants to become his step-dad because of the compliment.
"I want to become stronger, so that I can find my mom faster but I'm having a little bit of trouble" Nico says with a faint smile after, Adam looks at him and asks him whether he'd like some training, Nico's face is like "whaaaa!!!" but then he's brain reminds him that Adam is a cowboy, cowboy's know how to fight with their hands, legs, guns and knives, so he can trust him. Nico agrees to the training and then he and Adam head out for training.
"You see Nico, I'm a master martial artist, I know and have mastered all forms of martial arts whether it be Taekwondo, Judo, Boxing, Kick Boxing, Wrestling 'er even Street fighting, I know all forms and you see Nico with great power comes great responsibility, I can't keep all the wisdom and power to myself I must spread it, so lemme help ya out" He says with a wide smile that should let the toothpick in his mouth to fall out but it doesn't, Nico nods and then training begins.
Nico thinks back to what was written in The Constitution, it said that anything he saw as a challenge, he'll win at it, so that means if he saw training as a challenge he'll win at it.
The most ugly looking smirk appeared on Nico's face, he was getting excited, Adam stared at him and laughed as he noticed his aura was overflowing, "Nico, I see you have a Life Energy Output, that's wonderful, are you a vessel or manifester?" Adam asks with a smile of joy on his face, Nico says he's a vessel, Adam says that's wonderful and they should start training ASAP.
Nico jogs on a spot hundred times, does a hundred jumping jacks, squats hundred times, then he and Adam race.
Adam calls the shots, once it starts all Nico thinks about, is reaching the finish line, Adam for the most part is gapping him and it's not even a joke, Nico jumps mid-air while running and passes Adam and then wins the race.
They do some meditation after that, while Nico's eyes are closed Adam opens his and notices Nico's aura is flowing very perfectly, too perfect as if he's half of another species, his growth in training is splendid.
Adam thinks to himself that Nico might as well be the embodiment of the concept of adaptation, after a few more minutes of meditation, Adam tells Nico it's enough, he tells Nico to stand up.
"I wanna teach ya summm'n, it's a move I call soul crusher, ya see we're powered by Life energy which is technically our souls, this move I'm gonna teach ya is used to weaken one's soul but before I teach ya it's gonna deal with a lil more training, so in Lodidora the training sessions are gonna be more, ya got that bro??" Adam says, Nico nods and tells him that he'll be prepared for training.
Meanwhile on the ship, Midori is still asleep and in her dream she get's on the Island and when she get's there, she's without the crew, she sees her dad alone on the island everywhere is bloody and then he kills himself but in the dream she's aware, so she brings her dad and everyone on the island back to life and then she says bye bye to an odd looking version of the crew who she can't seem to fix their appearance then she wakes up.
She stands up from her bed, leaves the room. She sees Clown in the hallway, She greets him, he waves, She asks him whether she can search something up on his phone, he nods and hands her the phone and walks away.
She's surprised that his phone has no password, no contacts and only games, she goes to the search engine, Koogle, to go search what's going on Kaku right now, because Koogle get's updated every second, crazy right, I know.
She sees that they are multiple news articles about it, even the president is talking about it, Midori knows that her dad is going to prison for a long time and she can't do shit about it only if she could manipulate their thoughts and make them forget about the war or something, too bad.
