Chapter 5 - A precious opportunity

Kalvin hesitates a little but later agrees to help and goes with them....

Kalvin hesitated a little before joining the group of people who called themselves police officers, because he could sense a certain connection among those individuals. They all arrived at a quiet place. Although there were people nearby, their number was relatively small.

Before Kalvin could ask these individuals anything, the officers silenced him. Kalvin looked at the dilapidated houses around him, and after a while, they all stood outside the door of a club-like building, behind which everyone present was busy with their own tasks. No one felt the need to watch the others. One of the four people opened the door and led everyone, including Kalvin, inside.

Inside, they went to a corner and sat down. Kalvin guessed that one of the people dressed in a black coat and a round hat was the leader of the other three. That man had black eyes, fair skin, a well-built physique, a round hat, and a confident attitude, which complemented his black coat.

The man went straight to the main point without any unnecessary words. He introduced him as a Nexus. He asked Kalvin how he obtained the Nexus Power without any support or a Nexus guardian. When the man who appeared to be a leader, James Smith, began questioning Kalvin, he seemed like a cold-hearted and dangerous person. Kalvin says a little unsteadily, "I was reading a history book and that's where I learned about this Nexus Pure." He doesn't mention his friend's name because he doesn't want his friend to get involved in this trouble.

They are a little surprised to know that Kalvin learned about Nexus Power from a historical book. They wanted to take the book from Kalvin.

Kalvin, when I read the book last night, I learned about Nexus Power and some historical events. After that, I put the book down and lay on my bed. When I woke up this morning, I looked for the book and couldn't find any pages other than the cover. James Smith said, "Hmm, that sounds like you've read a book that was bound by a restrictive ritual."

Well, it's not a big deal, and I can also see that you can absorb Nexus energy into your body smoothly. Anyway, what pathway have you chosen as a Nexus? Kalvin in his mind, I don't even know what my pathway is called. But I can tell them that I have chosen the pathway of the goddess of the Evernight.

Kalvin, I chose the pathway that is from the Goddess of the Evernight. You mean the Oracle pathway, right?, which is from the Goddess?? Kalvin, Yes, It is. Although I don't even know what the purpose of this pathway is. Smith, this pathway is known as the Sleuth Pathway. In this pathway, a person can find and solve various mysterious cases and crimes. Interestingly, you chose this pathway. It might help us in the future. Kalvin, it might help us in the future. Kalvin, I don't understand. How will my powers help you in the future?

Smith, okay, let's talk about that. We are the exceptional beings who carry various mysterious powers. Every pathway has its own abilities. And also, every tier of a pathway has different powers. As you have become a Nexus, from now on, you will work with us. And you can't resist it. Kalvin, I understand, but what kind of work will I do with you? Smith, you will work as a detective in our organization. In your organization? Smith, yes, but you will not be an official member of us, and also you can't tell anyone that you're a Nexus. Kalvin, okay, I understand that. Smith, we will give you 5 gold coins per week. Kalvin, 5...5 gold coins? Yes, 5 gold coins. Kalvin, but if I work with you together secretly how can I explain to my sister and others such a high amount of money? Smith, don't worry about it. Though you are not an official one but I can support you by myself. I will manage a job for you.

Naah! I don't need any job. I would be very happy if you could arrange a medium-sized store for me. Smith, what will you do with it? Kalvin, I'm planning to open a cafe. " I am sure my cooking will be very unique through my earth's experience". Smith, so that's how you are planning to handle these 5 gold coins. Kalvin, hmm and that's how I will work with you and handle my family together. Smith, but here's the thing, you've become a nexus by yourself, so I can't help you move forward. And also if you start losing control of yourself, I'll kill you by myself. It's our responsibility. Kalvin, I understand...
