17:20, Summer; Location: Theo’s Villa; "Oi, Theo, did you lose your sense of direction?" Leo called out, pointing to his left. "The hall is that way." "Nope! You come here," Theo said, gesturing toward the room in front of him. "Before we get started, we need to collect some basic data. In that time, Ai-chan will analyze the data from our status screens while checking for any news through a local connection." "Can't we just get going?" Leo groaned. "No!" Theo shook his head and headed for the room, not even looking back. "MEOW!!" "Oh, well, let's do it fast. Noir is getting annoyed," Victor said, his exasperation was clear. "I don't want to get scratched." Tak tak... "Hmm, a manual switch? Are the automatic ones not working?" Victor frowned, looking at the infrared sensors. "I don't know what happened while we were asleep, but if I'm not wrong, there was no electricity, so everything just reset," Theo said, shaking his head. "But the odd thing is some appliances are still working, so I'm not sure what's going on." "Wait, wasn't this villa designed by you?" Leo asked with a confused expression. "How can you not know what's going on?" Theo paused. "For the first time, you've raised a valid point. But you're mistaken, my father had this place built; I later redesigned it, so most of the things were brought by my dad." "Wha- I didn't know that," Leo said, looking at Victor, who simply shrugged. "Right, then. Let's get to the basic tests." Theo tapped a rhythm on the tabletop, and hidden compartments slid open, revealing an array of lab equipment. "Who's going first?" "Let me start," Victor said. He picked up a spray bottle, sprayed a little on his wrist, and smelled it. "Hmm... no nausea this time, and I can distinguish the two mixed perfumes…" "Oh..." Leo said, picking up a spray bottle himself, watching as Victor tasted something from a petri dish. "Hmm... as Victor said, I didn't feel like I’m going to puke…" “The capsaicin didn’t taste as overwhelming as before,” Victor said, nodding. “It seems all of our senses have adjusted.” “Really?” Leo asked, a hint of fear in his voice. This test had given him nightmares, causing his mouth to swell for half a day. “Yeah,” Victor nodded. “Okay, let’s try it,” Leo said, reaching for the petri dish. He watched Victor put on the headphones for the sound test and noticed Theo still standing there, scribbling in his notebook. “Oh, why aren’t you taking the test?” “Hmm? Did you think he wouldn’t? I bet he’s already done his,” Victor said, putting the headphones back on. “Huh?” Leo looked confused. “Hehe… I already ran my tests on myself during my experiments with the black gel,” Theo said with a smug smile. “Now that the four-sense test is done, let's move on to the strength and weight test.” Clank… “I think we need to change the weight machine…” Theo murmured. “Nice, my weight has reduced a bit!” Victor said, pumping his fist in the air. Losing weight had been a dream of his, one he had been unable to fulfill due to his laziness. “Congratulations!” Leo and Theo clapped, and even Noir nodded her head. “Hehe,” Victor laughed, a shy grin on his face. “Let me check,” Leo said, stepping onto the scale. “Fuck! What kind of weight is this?!” He stared at the number, which was more than double his previous weight. “It's your mass,” Theo explained. “If I'm not wrong, your physical body is totally incomparable to ours now.” “But why don't I feel anything?” Leo asked, pinching a bicep. “Well, did you forget how you jumped high enough to hit the ceiling a few minutes ago?” Victor reminded him. “Right!” Leo said, his eyes widening. He walked over to the side and grabbed the steel cable, easily pulling it to 800 lbs. “Whoa,” Victor and Theo both said in amazement. “Now this justifies the weight!” Leo laughed happily. “I knew his strength would be terrifying, but I’m still amazed,” Victor murmured. "Meow, Meow," Noir's voice sounded. While Theo and Leo couldn't understand her, they could tell by her tone th
