'Knock Knock'

'Knock Knock'

A women in her 40's opened the door.

”Hello, are you Mrs. Serena, daughter of Professor Austin?” Izumi asked with a gentle voice.

”Yes, may I know who you are?” Serena questioned as she tried to recognize Izumi.

”My name is Izumi Yuki and I am the new vice chief of the city. I have a few questions for the professor, I heard he is living here with you after his retirement.”

”Yes, he is.” Serena replied with a nod and signaled Izumi to come in.

”Would you care for some tea, vice chief?” Serena led Izumi upstairs towards the professor's study room.

”No, thank you.”

'Knock Knock'

”Yes...”

”Father, this is the new vice chief, Izumi Yuki, she has a few questions for you.” Serena signaled her to go into the room.

”Good afternoon, Mr. Austin. I heard you are famous for your research regarding energy circulation and it's characteristics. Would you mind answering a few questions of mine?” Izumi asked the professor politely as she walked into his study room.

The professor waved his hand signaling Izumi to sit down ”Sit down, Miss Izumi, How can I help you?”

”Professor, I will come right to the point. Can a protector or a person with a broken seal, manipulate his internal life energy circulation however he wants to?”

”It depends on the level of manipulation. For example, a person can slow down or speed up the energy circulation in his body, but no one can stop emitting or absorbing energy due to the circulation of energy in one's body.” The Professor answered calmly while he sat down in his chair.

”Is there a way for a person's energy circulation process to be manipulated extremely, even if it is by external factors.” Izumi had a very serious look on her face as she asked him questions.

”There are a few ways Miss Izumi, but those ways would break any protector or any ordinary person's mind and senses within a few fraction of seconds.”

”What are those methods...?” Izumi's interest in the subject rose as she thought she might find a clue.

”If a person absorbs dark energy equal to the amount of pure energy surging through him, then the energy circulation would come to a halt as they circulate in opposite directions and they would cancel each other, there would be no life energy left in him to emit or survive.”

”Is there any way for a person who isn't emitting any energy to survive?”

”No, there aren't any that I know of.”

'The facts don't add up.' Izumi was contemplating the facts what the professor said and what she observed with Shin.

”I have never encountered such case throughout my career Young one. But there are always things that we don't know. There might be ways for a person who fell into the dark side, to do the things you asked for, it is a maybe...after all, we don't have any data one them.” The professor looked distant as he was thinking about the possibility of what Izumi asked.

”A person who fell into the dark side huh....It is a possibility.” Izumi whispered slowly to herself as she rose from her seat.

”How would you differ a person who fell into the dark side from a person who hasn't?” Izumi continued with her doubts.
