Summer, 14:00; Location: Theo’s Villa, Earth; “Victor, Leo... guys, come check the reports out,” Theo called out. After arriving at the villa, the trio did all the possible exercises and used all the facilities to push themselves to the limit under Theo, who also did the same and made a note of everything with the help of the Gym A.I. for future reference. Victor was resting on the couch while Leo was jogging on the treadmill. Apparently, he was getting fatigued far less than Victor or Theo. While they were resting, Theo went to fetch the results. "Here." Theo handed a tab to Leo and Victor. "Hmm! These are the stats I could only dream of…" Victor’s voice trailed off, as if he had seen something unbelievable. "Yeah, same here. I never expected to be this fit." Theo grinned. “Guys, look at mine! I’m almost double your stats!” Leo practically shouted. His excitement was off the charts. "Looks like you are more compatible with the insect that bit you than we are… hahahaha…" Theo smirked. "It is possible… hahaha" Victor nodded. He was shocked to discover Leo’s stats, which were almost double. “OR… maybe because I used to hit the gym previously…”, Leo said after a moment. "That’s also a possibility…” Victor agreed, and Theo nodded to indicate he also believed the same. “So… what’s about Noir?” Victor asked with a concerned expression. “Uh, you might not believe this, but its strength, reflexes, and somehow even the IQ got some massive increase… almost comparable to an adult cat." “So, with this result, I can pretty much almost 70% confirm that your cat is now a super cat, Victor". Theo concluded "Why only 70%?" Leo asked curiously. "I am not too sure about everything. Machines designed for humans cannot test animals.” Theo shrugged. "Ah, that's true too. Noir was smart since she was little, although it’s still a little bit too much, but the fact that despite being a kitten, it has the physical attributes of an adult and mature cat is surprising.”, Victor said after thinking for quite a while. “Congrats, you got a super cat… hahaha… and furball, I see that you have also stepped up your game, but I am also not the previous me, let's see… Hehe,” Leo gave an evil laugh and went towards the room where Noir was playing with a few robots. "So, other than this, did anything more happen later?" Victor asked, ignoring Leo. "Uhm... I guess not... nothing significant on my part... after talking to you guys, I just meditated for 8 hours to see if my conjecture is right or wrong, and guess what? It's completely wrong!” Theo spoke with a hint of disappointment in his tone. “Meditation only distracts us from the thirst, nothing more and nothing less.” "Yup, the thirst is still there, but I feel like I am somehow getting used to it.” Leo joined the two with scratches all over his body. The winner was visible here. Other than Victor Noir doesn’t allow anyone to touch her, she tolerates Theo a little, but for some baffling reason, she absolutely hates Leo. "Maaow.” No sooner did Leo come than Noir came over, too, and gave Leo a deep growl. After showing Leo some attitude, she backed up, came running, did a high jump, and leaped to Victor’s shoulders, curiously looking at the reports in the tabs. “Wow, now she is even looking at her reports, huh…” Leo teased, which immediately got him a scratch. "Hiss…", Leo hissed in pain. "Calm down, little lady..." Theo began to pacify the angry cat “Mew” Noir blew her nostrils and went away to play. “She has quite a temper,” Leo said while massaging the scratched area. "So, how did it happen?" Theo asked curiously, and Leo also looked eagerly. "You guys know how clingy she is, and she always sleeps beside me... I think she picked it up through proximity,” Victor said, frowning. “Hmm, it’s possible,” Leo agreed, and Theo nodded to show his approval too. "So, what happened to us? From what happened to Noir, we can say a kind of virus, radiation, or something similar?" Victor asked. "Maybe… a virus… hmm… radiation
