Thanks to those three days, he obtained 60 units of taboo energy. He was advancing quite fast and it won't take long before he became a Grade 3 Taboo Fighter! At that time, he would probably become immune to all firearms and cold weapons. Of course, those are normal ones.
Now, he was on his way towards the main base of the Scout to report. While walking on the road, Caleb has a small on his face. He just finished his practice and ate his fill to the 3rd District.
The cityscape stretches before Caleb, a picturesque tableau of European elegance fused with the timeless charm of the 1990s. As he traverses the cobbled streets, the azure sky arches overhead. Doves flutter above, their graceful wings painting patterns against the vast blue canvas.
'Morning walk in the street is really worth it...'
Passersby from all walks of life populate the streets, each person busily walking in the street. Life in the city is fast-paced, everyone is busy grinding for their goals.
A couple strolls hand in hand, lost in whispered conversations of love, while a street performer sets up his guitar, ready to serenade the city with soulful melodies.
Caleb stared at the performer hesitantly before he lost interest. He still has more important to do, unfortunately, or he would love to listen.
The centerpiece of this cityscape is the Church of the God of Harvest. Nestled amidst the bustling streets, its towering spires and intricate stonework exude a solemn grandeur. The church's façade, reminiscent of the architecture of a bygone era, harks back to the 1990s European style, with ornate details adorning every corner. Stained glass windows catch the sunlight, scattering a kaleidoscope of colors upon the cobblestones below.

Yes, there was a Church of God of Harvest in the 3rd District. Actually, there are seven gods the people of the city worship. To understand further, there are Seven districts. Each district is the base of Seven Churches, and each church worships one of the Gods. Mainly; 1st District's Storm God. The one that controls the ocean and the weather. The one whose domain stretches beyond the sea and the sky. Monarch of wind and clouds. When Caleb learned about it. He felt more and more surprised due to how deep the secrets of the World of Destiny were.
He didn't know if the Seven Gods people worship existed. But as someone who has read countless novels. He was ready to bet that they do exist and they might be the cause of all problems such as the Apokalips, or at least they were related in one way or another! Of course, those are just speculations. He didn't dare to think about the Gods too much, afraid of attracting their attention. For reference, think about LOTM, the Gods there were aware if someone were to say or think something related to them. Caleb didn't dare to bet that the Gods here couldn't do the same.
Then, there was also the 2nd District's God of Stars and Knowledge. The one that governs the sun and divine flames. A being that is above the sun himself and a controller of stars. Portrayed as one of the strongest beings.
3rd District's God of Harvest. 4th District's God of Order. 5th District's God of Light. 6th District's God of Thunder and Lightning. And the 7th District, which was the most mysterious district of all and also had an unknown god. Apparently, the 7th District was deserted, and only a few people lived there for reasons unknown to Caleb. However, it was said that the 7th God governs the domain of shadows.
As Caleb immerses himself in this enchanting street, the cooing of doves, the diverse array of passersby, the grandeur of the church, and the European architectural motifs of the 1990s all blend together into a captivating scene that makes him calm.
...
An hour later, Caleb arrived at the base of the main base of the Scout. The familiar people walk with the familiar green cape on their backs. A smile appeared on his face as he saw four familiar silhouettes on the door of David's office.
"Yo..." he greeted.
The four teenagers turned around. They were Shu, Rozho, Kazuto, and Kidd. Shu smiled at he saw Caleb and said:
"You're late..."
Kazuto, on the other hand, gave Caleb a light bump with his shoulders and chuckled. He looked at Caleb up and down.
"How fresh. I suppose you did your usual morning walk, right? We're about to become a Scout, and you still have time to relax. Aren't you excited at all?"
"Well, I would be lying if I said that I'm not excited because I am. However, morning walk has become instinct for me." Caleb couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle and continued. "You know... I believe that you have to start your day in a good way if you want to have a good day. A good start usually results in a good end."
"That's a good positive outlook on life. I like that." Shu smiled.
Caleb then saw Kidd look at him and nod with a smile. Seeing this, Caleb also nodded in greeting. "Actually... I'm not late, you guys are just early. Have you heard of the theory of relativity?"
Shu and the others looked at each other before laughing. Indeed, the theory of relativity exists in this world, but it wasn't Albert Einstein who theorized it here. As for what's the meaning of his joke.
The Theory of Relativity, proposed by Albert Einstein, has two main components: Special Relativity and General Relativity. The statement references the concept of "time dilation" from Special Relativity, which suggests that time can pass at different rates for people in different states of motion. In other words, time is relative, and it's not the same for everyone.
So, when someone says, "I'm not late," they're essentially saying that from their perspective, they are on time, but the other party is early. It's a humorous way of highlighting how time can be perceived differently by different observers, and it's often used in a lighthearted or joking manner. That's why he decided to try it.
