New law of Beast Taming

The professor seemed to have grown a brain suddenly and his words caused everyone to think over them. Professor Ross was suddenly certain that he would survive today and planned his escape inside his man.

Of course, it seemed as if Yoko Tsurugi could see right through his brain and she grabbed hold of Professor Ross's head and smacked it down on the ground in front of her.

"Tsk, this is getting tiresome. Hey professor, don't you dare think of doing anything funny after this. If you want to live, then give us all the information you have. I am not a patient person after all."

Amane had not hit the professor hard but his head still rang and he looked dizzy. He was a weak man who had no way of protecting himself now. Even those females weakened as soon as these chains molded themselves against his body. Experience more on empiren/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

But despite all this and more being against the professor, he had to audacity to laugh at his misfortune.

"You might think that you have won, but the actual winner is me. Not only did my drug function, but now I have a perfect specimen in my hand to uncover the secrets of my drug."

Professor Ross seemed to have lost it. His voice was shrilled and he looked half out of it.

But despite all this, Professor Ross was still not looking to give up his dream. Not when it looked to be so close to his heart.

"Shut up old man. Now, hurry up and tell me where you have kept Aqua's other half captive so that we can go back home. Us being here is not helping anyone."

Amane's threat was real and for the first time, the professor felt his heart skip a beat. He did not want to fight against Yoko Tsurugi and her fascinating power.

'If only…I can get a sample. I want to uncover the secrets of this female…and I will. After all, I still have my secret weapon at my disposal.'

The professor was a cunning one as he planned out things. He looked back at Aqua but she seemed to be looking away from him and avoiding his eyes.

"Fine, I will take you to it. I will take you to see what you so desperately wish to see. But don't you dare be disappointed in me once you get what you want from me? Nothing that happens after this is my fault."

Professor Ross spoke quietly but no one took him seriously. The group was not interested in what he had to say and that made the professor laugh out loud.

These people had no idea that they had fallen into his trap already. And soon, they would regret crossing paths with him.

......

Aqua gasped out loud as soon as she entered the specimen room. She could feel that her other half was being kept here. But even though she did not know where it was being kept exactly, I was being kept.

There was a huge chamber in front of them and it looked somewhat familiar. But still, Aqua could not recall where she had seen this place before.

"Now go. Go ahead and break your other half free. But I must warn you before you do that. One of you needs to head in and take your other half's place in there. Otherwise, you all will die due to the processor's explosion."

The professor explained with a proud tone to his voice. This was one of the biggest successes of his life - this machine.

"Why would you make something like this? What is the purpose of such a thing?"

Sakura questioned as she looked at the huge machine. It was shining and different veins popped out of its surface. But despite all that, the machine had an aura of intimidation to it.

"Huh? What do you mean why I would make such a thing? It's to gather energy and magic of course. And don't even get me started on morals and such. Humans are selfish creatures since the start and I am no different."

Professor Ross seemed to have things figured out for himself. He waited for someone to make a move but no one moved.

Instead, they all collectively looked at Professor Ross and he took an unconscious step back.

"W-What's wrong with you all? One of you needs to head into the machine and take the person's place inside. S-Stop! Don't head my way. It won't work with me because of the contract."

Now that made everyone pause and listen to the professor. Amane was interested in this 'contract' the spoke of. This must be the same power that allowed him to control Aqua's instinct.

"Tsk, this bastard. Fine, one of us will go in there. But you better release me from your contract after this."

Aqua held the professor up by his throat once she heard his words but she had to let him go as well soon. Hurting the professor was not going to help her out.

The professor coughed as he got his throat in order. He was sure that there would be swelling around his throat later but he did not care.

Not when he had something this interesting going on in front of him.

'Ah, this is great. I cannot believe how easy this is for me to fool all these people. Break the contract? Ha! As if. These contracted beings are the golden hens the god has given me. I will not let them go so easily.

Professor Ross had a plan in mind. And he was also secure in his position since he knew that these people could not kill him off.

If they did, then their whole purpose of coming here would be defeated.

"Looks like we don't have any other choice. I will be the one to go in and look at the situation. I will be back soon."

Amane could tell that something was wrong with the situation. It smelled fishy and Amane was good at smelling mistakes.

"Fine, go ahead and enter the portal. Hurry up before the fall damages you anymore."

Amane looked at the Professor with a blank expression on her face. She did not like the way the professor was looking at her with greed-filled eyes.

But Amane ignored looked that look and entered the shiny surface in front of her. She felt the energy fill the space around her and open the door.

'Tsk, this energy feels weird but I am sure that this place feels familiar to me. Where have I felt this energy before? I am not sure if I remember this feeling or if I am hallucinating in my mind.'

...….

Both Aqua and Sakura looked tense when Amane disappeared into the pillar of light. They had not anticipated such a development to occur.

"Now Aqua, pull your other half out of the light. This is the only chance you will have of doing so. If you hesitate, then who knows when you will get a chance to make such a decision again."

Professor Ross looked happy as he approached Sakura and Aqua. He was tied up but his body refused to stop. He wanted to see the fruits of his labor.

"Stay back old man. I am not in a good mood and I am not a forgiving person as well. I will hurt you if you make any sudden move."

Sakura warned as she got ready to attack the professor. But the professor ignored her and continued to approach the light pillar. His eyes were filled with greed, but also satisfaction as he knocked at the door.

"This place! Don't you want to crack it open and see what is inside here? She is waiting for you Aqua. Hurry up and let her free."

Aqua's body shook in her place. She was desperately fighting her will not to open this door but it was nearly impossible for her to do.

'Ah fuck, I need to do something about this at all costs. I cannot allow my emotions to get swayed. I need to keep my reasoning.'

But it was so difficult to keep her sanity in that moment. Not when the voice was constantly begging inside Aqua's mind to free her. Her other half was calling out to her.

"I need to…open the door. She needs me."

Aqua looked enchanted as she walked toward the road. It gave Sakura a fright when she felt Aqua cross her from behind.

"Aqua, what are you…no stop. Don't touch the door or everything would fall apart. You cannot betray Yoko like this…"

Sakura quickly got between Aqua and the door. She needed to stop Aqua before a tragedy happened right in front of her eyes.

But Aqua seemed to have gained superpowers because she not only ignored Sakura but also managed to get past her. It all happened so fast that it was impossible to even tell what happened.

Before Sakura knew it, Aqua had opened the door and her hand was half-submerged inside it.

"I need to get her out of the room."

Aqua pulled out a hand made of light from inside the door. The more she pulled the hand out, the more humanoid the body shape of that phantom began to look.

In the end, it was completely solid, and the person who was pulled out looked like a younger version of Aqua.

"Finally, this experiment has succeeded. I was able to create an artificial being that looks human. Those stingy superiors must acknowledge me now."

Professor Ross laughed with disbelief in his voice.
