Btw i did an edit on chapter-2. The change is -- Master Jet said Sunny's true name aloud so Sunny is now her slave. In previous version she didnt say his name aloud.
The words "Follow me" shook something inside Sunny's soul. Even though Sunny didn't do anything, his body moved on its own. Master Jet has already stood up and is walking out of the cafeteria.
Its effect started slow, like a whisper. Then it slowly grew until it became inevitable and inescapable. His muscles twitched, betraying him, as though his body no longer belonged to him.
Standing up, completely out of his own volition, Sunny turned around and followed Master Jet.
Step.
Step.
And another step.
'Stop, stop. I said STOPPPPPP !!!!!'
His body didn't listen, though. It just continued to move forward, indifferent to his commands.
Step
His mind screamed in rebellion, every fiber of his being recoiling at the idea of submission. He clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms as he fought to stay rooted in place.
Inside, Sunny raged. He was churning with fury and humiliation. A storm of defiance crashing against the unyielding walls of the spell's compulsion. He tried to resist, to dig his heels into the ground.
Step.
He failed pathetically.
Sunny wondered if the Spell was laughing out somewhere at his misery.
'Curse it. Curse it all.'
Step.
By this time, Sunny has managed to gain a little bit of clarity. He understood that his True Name had stripped him of autonomy, reducing him to a tool, a slave.
'Hah. I guess it's my reality now.'
Step.
'This won't be forever.'
Step.
Sunny's eye narrowed as he stared at Jet's back.
'I will find a damn way out. I'll break this curse, no matter what it takes.'
Step.
Sunny vowed silently. But for now he walked.
Step.
..................
Jet didn't notice the effect her words had on Sunny. What she noticed was the weird way he was walking.
Jet paused mid-stride, her boots clicking sharply against the pitch road. Behind her, Sunny's footsteps echoed mechanically, like a marionette dragged by invisible strings. She glanced over her shoulder, her sharp eyes narrowing.
"You walk like a malfunctioning combat drone," she remarked dryly, turning fully to face him. "What's wrong with you?"
His jaw tightened, but his voice remained eerily calm. "Your order."
She raised her eye but decided to leave it for now. "Your legs move like they're wired to a script. Try to walk normally"
Sunny grumbled. Jet didn't want to make a scene here, so she started walking again.
Both of them got in the PTV. The ride was not comfortable at all. Jet summoned her runes and started to go through them while keeping one eye on the road.
Through the corner of her eye, she could see Sunny gazing at the distance. He was checking his runes for sure.
Jet returned her attention to her ones. There was a new section in there. When she opened it to see it:
'Oh my Spell.'
She almost lost her control on the steering wheel. Luckily, there was autopilot. Even without any help, her ascended reflexes would have come in clutch.
"Ascended Jet, do you have a driving license?"
Jet ignored Sunny's question and stabilized the PTV.
'From Master to Ascended, huh?'

There were many things she found interesting. Many things she would have loved to focus on, but the one that caught her attention and nearly caused an accident was his Aspect rank.
'Divine, it's...divine.'
Hell, her own aspect was supreme, and she was considered to be one of the most deadly Master alive. Even some Saints feared her due to her unique aspect.
The PTV moved away from the highway and drove into a subway. After some time, she parked her PTV on the side of a sketchy alley.
Both of them exited the PTV. Jet looked at the scrawny kid in front of her. Both fear and confusion were evident on his face.
Sighing, Jet said:
"Let's talk Sunny."
