Chapter 8 - Theology

"mister Martin and miss martin, due to the festival happening across the UHE we are short on inquisitor in the analytic parts so that a major reason i came here, Daniel will have to come with me"

nobody answers as the room goes silent then

"yeah he will go right Daniel" his dad answer for him

"what but he just came here" his mom asks in disarray

"yeah, but the duty calls, he is the grandson of alexander and he will answer to it"

"dad, but" Daniel himself is in a disarray

"no buts or anything son duty calls, go pack up now"

Daniel retreats back into his room as he starts to pack up but the feeling of fear 

he never thought sir Gideon will come to his house just to bring him back now he knows that he will and knows who is family is as he feels scared for their safety and will follow anything that the reason he is leaving not cause he wants to listen to his dad but to protect his dad, his family

he walks out of the room with his back pack on his shoulder as Melina had woken up and entered the living room

"where are you going" she ask confused

"he passed his test, so he has to go" his dad answers for him

Daniel comes closer to his sister and whispers to her

"the great exam is coming for you learn well ok, and there is a difference between event and battles and i love you"

he lets out a bit of tears but wipes it as he doesn't want to scare his family

as he and sir Gideon sets out of the house to see a mini-cruiser a ship that used to navigate the space and is bound to a destination like a space orbital as he and sir Gideon enter its through the seal door at its back

Daniel looks back at his family to see his dad trying to hold back tears while his mom is full on sobbing as he isn't able to understand whether its of joy or fear for his son while Melina is standing there flabbergasted

the seal door close slowly as sir Gideon goes to the cock pit with it being made up of two seat and a couch and a mini-fridge on his right as the door shuts with a sealing hiss 

the ship starts to hover as a sound of vibration flood the outside and the family ears hurting as martin has them all retreat back inside despite his moms sobs that her sons leaving the next day he came as the cruiser departs into space

Daniel goes to the cock pit and sits beside sir Gideon

"i always liked you kid, that's the reason i am doing this for you"

"what" Daniel mutters

"theology was a system of power that allowed humanity to reach the status it did today, its was allowed out founder Leonis Marion wracking to lead humanity to the stars"

"theology, our founder i don't understand"

"yeah its confusing but theology is program for that to work you need a processor and a system is called a crucible and for system to work you need something called a soul its harvested when a lord soul interacts with the environment and the soul its like a processor and lord soul being the processor that was reverse engineered into order to create a soul or the processor "sir Gideon lecture

"ok isnt that supposed to be a secret why are you telling a person who is an part of the omega tier" as Daniel cuts him off

"that's cause a xeno species exist called elves humanity has been in a cold war with them for 4 cycles from 124ad they are our biggest threat and in order to fight them we need as much troops especially silent lords and resources the war currently is waged with resources" responds sir Gideon

"Why do need silent lord a humanity unit just use a bot" as Daniel interrupts in anger as he can't understand the fact he kidnapped him with his parents' permission and telling him secrets that would get him killed

sir Gideon bangs on the table in booming power as Daniel is frightened

"first listen to me you brat, if i had reported your message to my higher ups just for the blasphemy of the emperors name they would have your skull ok" his tone full of anger

after a few minutes of silence sir Gideon continues in his former lecture 

"the reason we can't fight the elves with bots due to theology as theology gives you powers when you fuse it into your body you gain access to one of eleven paths based on what soul you used, and for to become a inquisitor you need theology i suspected you had theology potential for must students we conduct the test after the you pass the written and defensive but i though you were special that's the reason i had Eliza use the seir rune to conduct the theology test that day"

sir Gideon continues his lecture

"seir is something for another day but for now we are at a cold war with elves and to fight them we need more theology users as theology works on living flesh bots cannot carry it so that's the reason we need troops for the moment the cold war goes hot"

"Ok sir Gideon, but i have a doubt what's my use in this war" ask Daniel in a tone of mind-numbing fear as well as genuine curiosity 

"What is the use of an average inquisitor to maintain the peace and keep the people quiet and ignorant of these problems were like adults and they are the children were sought to keep them safe" answer sir Gideon 

"And call me Gideon now onwards you're an inquisitor now onwards" continues Gideon 

then Gideon hands him an access card with the delta sign the moment Daniel pick it up

he feels a wave of joy and happiness from legs to his head as he feels refreshed as he understands Sir Gideon did all of this came to his home-planet and all just to give him this and tell him the truth of the world then abandoning him to the wolves of UHE inquisition as he looks at him

he smiles and, in a tone, pure sincerity 

"Thank you sir, you helped me thank you"

"it's an inquisitor duty to take care of one and another" he replies in his usual tone

"When do I start"

"You will meet the council if they decide that your fit for a theology, then you will be an actual inquisitor if not an analytic analyzer or something stupid like that in the inquisition"

Daniel thinks as he starts to associate his grandfather alexander behaviors with how Sir Gideon is a person who acts like they don't care but will do a lot of things just to save their loved ones
