"Gahhh" she groaned in anger. She was turning back to visit the research department quarters when Zwap!!

Came a sound from behind.

This time it was Nex with some of his assistants.

Upon seeing him Lisa shouted out in anger, "Senior Nex, where is my mainframe mirror? What have you done with that?"

Seeing Lisa in rage and talking to his senior like that. One of the assistants of Nex pressurized his Sage energy on Miss Lisa to calm her down and to make her realize she was talking with her senior.

The moment she felt that pressure, she became breathless and had a sudden urge to puke out. Nex asked the assistant to stop it and let it go for this time.

The assistant stopped at that and backed down from there. Seeing Lisa was still feeling uncomfortable, Nex mobilized his highly concentrated mental energy onto his hand and caressed Miss Lisa on her head to make her feel good.

Suddenly she felt a cooling sensation throughout her body and her urge to puke vanished with that. She looked up and found it was Senior Nex who was helping her with his mental energy.

She stood up abruptly and apologized to him at once.

"Senior Nex, forgive me for my rude behavior." And with that, she bowed down to please him some more.

"Hahahahaha," Nex laughed loud and patted her head. "It's fine, it's fine. I should have asked you too before taking your mainframe mirror"

Lisa took a deep breath and raised her head with difficulty. She too realized that a senior like him wouldn't do something wrong to her. And that too when they work under the same person.

"Sir mirror configuration complete. Waiting for installation command." Reported one of Nex's assistants.

"Good, leave it on the floor as it is. I will set it for her. It's a hassle to do it manually." Ordered Sir Nex. After everyone left the mirrors on the floor, Nex stood up in between them and clapped twice with the chant, "Initialize the Installation process."

The mirrors began to levitate in the air and installed themselves on the wall. Just within a fraction of a minute, all the mirrors were back to their original places.

Lisa and her assistant knew about his word magic, but never in their life they had seen it for real. It was their first time to see for the first time in action.

As the name suggests "Word Magic" he just had to name the work and it will be done within some minutes. Though it had some huge drawbacks and heavy restrictions, but for people like Nex who used to spend their time in labs, it was a blessing in disguise.

He could do the work of ten lab assistants with that special power of his "Word Magic."

"Done, ready to roll!!"

The moment he shouted out, all the mirrors in the room got activated. Lisa was startled by the sudden activation of the mirrors and jumped back a step to avoid danger.

Nex laughed at her reaction and asked her to move near the central mirror.

"Miss Lisa, I am transferring the ownership to you. It may take a while. And don't get startled when the light falls on you."

Miss Lisa had no idea what he was spouting out and replied to him with a hesitant "Okay…." To agree with his instructions.

"Noice!!"

As instructed Miss Lisa stood before the central mirror and closed her eyes to avoid the light about which Nex had told him earlier.

The surface of all the mirrors began to glow again and converged their light towards Miss Lisa's entire body. She was getting the feeling that thousands of eyes were looking at her at the same time.

A minute passed and all the mirrors dimmed down.

"Ownership Transfer Mechanism Success!!" echoed a mechanical voice.

Lisa abruptly opened her eyes and looked towards the central mirror in disbelief.

"Huh~~!! Senior Nex if I am not wrong…" she stopped at that and pointed out towards the mirror.

"Yes,"

"But how?!!"

"Hahaha, that's one of my new inventions. HG Version 1.0!!"

"I see~~!! And it's full form?"

"Helper Guardian Version 1.0!! It has many self-driven functions and talking with the owner and other members is one of them."

"I see~~!!" Lisa exclaimed and asked him to start all the mirrors as soon as possible. Half an hour had already passed and till then they were unaware of that kiddo's current location.

"Yes, doing."

Just after a minute, the preparation was complete and all the mirrors began to show the location of various testing grounds as they used to be.

One noticeable change in all the mirrors was the clearness of the pictures. Earlier it used to show foggy images but now it was more clearer than before.

Miss Lisa commended Senior Nex for his work and began to navigate the forest to pin down the kiddo's location. While Lisa was searching for Aryan. Senior Nex was operating his big crystal ball to go inside the jungle.

"Huh!! That's weird?!"

"What happened sir?��� asked one of the assistants stationed behind.

"Umm…. Half an hour ago I had activated the invisibility magic and left the ball floating in the air. But now when I connect the controller again it shows it's in a higher up place than before."

"What?!! Let me check…" said the assistant and checked the visual on another mirror. And to his surprise as mentioned by his senior it was at a very higher up place than before.

Lisa finished her work and took a look at theirs. Just with the first glimpse of that footage she understood what was the reason and said, "Must be the work of that old phoenix."

Nex and his group of lab assistants turned around and asked "What phoenix??"

"The old phoenix. It used to be the guardian of a certain mountain in the south. But one day something happened, and he left that place and settled on top of a giant tree."

"Oh~~~"

"Yes, and that old man is a lecher, pervert, molester, greedy bastard….."

Listening to Lisa's list of not so good compliments about the phoenix everyone had the idea that she must be one of the victims of that old phoenix.

Seeing she wasn't giving signs of stopping, Nex coughed up and intervened by saying, "Ahem, Miss Lisa, any idea how did it reach there?"

Lisa stopped throwing her feats and snapped back to her reality.

"Oh yes, I think I know. Your crystal ball is very shiny, right? He must have seen it while flying and took it to his nest while you were busy modifying these mirrors."

"Oh~~~!! But taking shiny things….. Isn't that a characteristic of crows and parrots….. How come a mighty phoenix~~"

"Ha!! Don't give him the title of mighty phoenix. As long as I know he will do anything to everything to escape a fight and get his hand on shiny things."

Nex understood it was a crow mind in a phoenix body case and asked his assistants to bring the second ball.

Just within a minute one of his lab assistants brought a small red crystal ball and handed it to his senior.

The crimson red color of the ball was something that pulled in everyone's attention and made them more curious about it.

"Senior Nex, may I ask what that red crystal ball is for?" asked Miss Lisa.

"Haha, this is a combat controller. Before leaving the nest I am thinking of teaching that bird a lesson."

"Really?!! Then can you give that opportunity to me, please~~~"

Before Nex replied to her request Lisa realized she was asking too much and added, "Then again, I don't know how to operate this device. So it will be better if senior use that device and teach that lecher phoenix a lesson."

"Fine then. I don't know what your dispute is with him or why you get fired-up on listening to his name but I promise you to take a small revenge and teach that bird a lesson today."

Hearing to his commitment Lisa smirked in her heart and thought, 'Ha!! Old bird, you just wait. Senior Nex is coming for you. You shouldn't have messed up with me in the first place.'

Nex started the red crystal ball and activated the combat mode on the giant crystal ball. The giant crystal ball turned crimson red and once again began to levitate in the air. Upon turning around its vision, Nex found the giant phoenix was sleeping at a distance.

Since the nest was built in the middle of a giant tree the shadows were falling on the nest making it near to impossible to see anything in the darkness.

After some difficulty, Nex found out the head part of the phoenix and was getting ready to teach him a lesson.

Back to the main plot Aryan was still traveling deep into the tropical forest in hope of his first hint as told by the hint given by Miss Lisa.
