The Human Giant



"I don't know what to tell you to convince you that I have no hidden motives." Yoze put his hand up in helplessness. 

After seeing that Yoze wouldn't spill the beans, Jewel reluctantly put away her Inner Vigor which she was so proud of and told Yoze about the results of the investigation piquing his interest.

"The detective and his assistants found your Dad's kids," Jewel said seriously.

"That's good, why didn't my father mention this when he was here?" Yoze breathed a sigh of relief before asking since his father should have been excited about this.

"I haven't told him yet since they were found but it seems like they are running away and are trying to not get discovered. And I wanted to get your opinion on how we should handle it." 

"What do you mean they're running away? If they are scared of something then we need to find out what and we need to still contact them." Yoze looked puzzled.

"No you misunderstood, they are not running away from something else. They are avoiding the investigators and every time they are discovered they change locations." Jewel shook her as she explained the weirdness of the situation.

"That's particular, let's go ask what the Detective has to say about this. If he has proof that they were found then I'll pay double to continue the investigation until we catch them." Being so close to fulfilling his father's dream reunion, Yoze was ready to pay a heavy price. 

After making his intent clear Jewel and Yoze went to visit the Detective's office and found that by the time they arrived, the door was opened and the small child that they met before was waiting outside the door for them.

"We are here to see the Detective," Seeing the small child made Jewel smile as she loved how cute he was.

"He was waiting for you to come back. But he is currently out right now. He left a note that you could talk with me and Jasmine about the case." The child pouted seeing how Jewel treated him like a baby. But his round baby face didn't help at all with his case.

"That's fine, where is the other assistant that you mentioned?" Yoze asked as he didn't see any other spiritual energy other than the child's dog's spiritual energy and the Detective's spiritual energy that was inside the walls.

He didn't judge the Detective for not wanting to meet him since he had only hired him to find his Father's kids. As long as the case was solved and his Dad was happy he didn't want to bother with the details.

"I am Jasmine." Hearing a cute child's voice coming from behind the detective's chair, Yoze and Jewel looked up in surprise. 

The detective's chair slowly spun until the person who spoke had fully turned around. Inside the chair was a 17-year-old girl who was wearing colorful glasses. She had a smug smile on her face as she looked at Yoze with disdain.

Looking at Detective David's two assistants, Yoze felt interested at the sight of these two. He wanted to know how the detective's method for recruiting assistants since his two assistants both had unique qualities. Both of them had uniquely shaped spiritual energy that he had never seen in other people.

First, was the child with his spiritual energy shaped in the form of a dog and now there was a girl whose spiritual energy was in the shape of glasses. Her spiritual energy even came in a multitude of colors that formed a rainbow.

"Toss a talent mark on her,"

[Name: Jasmine Rose]

[Age: 14 years old]

[Talents: Investigation (Grade 7), Perception (Grade 8), Puzzle Solving (Grade 8), Memory Retrace (Grade 10), Spatial Construction (Grade 7)]

"No talent in spiritual energy even though her spiritual energy is in such a strange form? Is it because she just isn't aware of her talent?" Yoze felt that these two kids must have some talent related to spiritual energy and he wanted to test out his hypothesis that he could make talents appear in the system.

"Nice to meet you, Jasmine. Have you ever considered becoming a martial artist or a scholar?" Yoze tried to see if he could get her interested in becoming his student so he could test out ways to get her to become aware of her hidden talents.

But he only drew confused looks on Jasmine and Jewel's faces. 

"No, I have no interest in either of those two things and much prefer to continue being a detective," Jasmine replied, shaking her head.

"If you ever change your mind feel free to contact me I think you could do great if you tried them out." 

"Thanks but I'm not interested. Let's talk about the case and how this is going to end." Jasmine rejected once more.

Knowing that his attempt to make her his student was a long shot, Yoze didn't feel stressed about being rejected and sat down at the table with Jewel.

"Can you go over what you found and what is going on with them running away?" After getting comfortable Yoze asked the questions he was most concerned about.

"It's like this..." 

Listening to Jasmine's explanation Yoze was able to get a general grasp of the situation. They were able to find the tracks of his father's children after the second week of the investigation but when they arrived at their new residence they found that it was abandoned recently. 

It took them another week to get a sighting of the two and discover where they were now hiding. But as soon as they were going to report it back to Jewel they noticed that they had been discovered. 

After they were discovered, his father's kids frequently changed the location of where they lived and never stayed in a single location for more than 48 hours.

After going into detail about all their findings and the results of the case, Jasmine looked at Yoze before inquiring about ending the case. 

"Since this case was supposed to last only a month and is only about finding these two people. I would like to declare that the case was successful and closed."
