'R' Lone Prayer

Chapter 9

Journal Entry #17

That Jewel Seed... the one that entered inside me yesterday... I can understand everything now... For starters... I will first disclose the first thing I remembered ever since I woke up here... That flash back that day... I was inside a tube filled with water... and those people... they were scientist... my creators... I was... indeed an artificial human being after all and the name... Nevada Noel... that was my true name but some of those scientist decided to give me my current name to differ me from my male and female forms...

Nevada Noel... is my male name and Novena Dale... the name I've been so used to by this point was in fact my female name... As for why my gender keeps changing back and forth... apparently I can actually actively change my gender at will but I can't seem to remember how I did it... but my body does and it seem that I've been doing it on a daily basis that it had become a sort of muscle memory now... I haven't told anyone about my true name just yet but the name Novena Dale has become a name that is too familiar to be replaced by my real name... But I would still tell them later on... when I truly feel like it...

According to the "Nevada Noel Project" files, after discovering my innate ability to equip these R-Type attires they've started conducting test and simulations on me... and the results were successful. Another note that despite some of the test to be too much for my body to handle, I kept a very optimistic personality on me. I had no idea how I got such a personality from and the report even listed that my personality from that day was that of a carefree, cheerful child.

It... was rather unsettling thinking about it... another report stated that I also appear to have the ability to "summon" the actual star fighter itself, in its life size form. The reason was that reports say that my attire possesses only 50% of power while the actual form possesses a full 100% in power. To "summon" the actual thing itself... even I can't remember how I did it...

The rest of the report is mostly about the progress of how I've been doing and how trained I was with using both attire and star fighter form. I guess that's where I got the muscle memory that Arisa-chan stated the day I first rolled into the school. As for my body strength... reports says that I am extremely frail and that a single light jab is like getting hit by a punch. My body even can't seem to grow any stronger despite weeks upon weeks of exercise. That might explain why... Nanoha's Divine Buster completely obliterated parts of my body... As for the healing factor... it was never an innate ability to begin with... it was from somewhere else...

Hmmm? It seems Nanoha has woken up already. Then I guess I'll resume my discovery tomorrow morning.

- Date : 0065, April 27th , Thursday

Novena closes his journal as he sees Nanoha woke up from her sleep. She stretches her arms wide then rubbing her eyes before spotting her friend who was already awake.

Nanoha: Novena...kun? You're awake already?

He nods.

Nanoha: What were you doing just now?

Novena: "I was writing my somewhat daily journal record of what I've been through over the past few weeks since I found myself in Uminari City."

Nanoha: Eh, is that so? Can I read it sometimes?

Novena: "Maybe not at the moment Nanoha-chan. There's still some things that I need to wrote down first. Until then you can't read it."

Nanoha: Hmmm... okay it's understandable. You don't mind if I ask you to join me in watching my sister train?

Novena: "Sure, why not? And you should go take a bath first then I'll take mine."

Nanoha: Okay.
