He ran outside and saw Kei standing by the lake. The fire wall. was there again, exactly how it was when they met the first time. Except the spell was way stronger. Even with a Water Cloak, Ichiro wouldn’t be able to pass it. ‘She leaves me no choice’, he thought. He casted his spell-canceler, but when he opened his eyes the spell was already gone. He felt a presence right behind him.
…’That’s a big weakness of yours. Even though you’re using this spell since you were little, you still can’t cast it faster. Oh well…what do you wanna talk about?’, asked Kei….
Ichiro wasn’t even shocked. He was frustrated. Even if Hikari’s words affected him a little, he still felt weak, insignificant. The proof was here. Kei cut through his movements with ease, like it was nothing.
He decided to suppress the anger and actually talk about the problem at hand.
…’Listen Kei. I’m sorry for what I said. I… didn’t know anything about what actually happened. I assumed you just did it for whatever reason. But well, I guess I know the story now so-‘…
…’It’s fine. You don’t need to beg me like that. I wasn’t really mad at you. I was mad at how I reacted.’, said Kei. ‘You see, I have a certain ability that’s both great and horrible at the same time. If I feel strongly about a certain thing or someone, I get stronger. It’s weird, I know, but that’s what was happening in there. I got angry and so my Energy was starting to get out of control’…
…’Oh, I understand. That’s… good to know. So, we’re good now?’, he asked….
…’Damn man, sometimes it feels like I’m the big sister, not in a bad way, of course. Yes, we’re okay now. But I have to ask… how is it going with… Reset?’…
…’Rather…. bad. I’m sure you noticed how bad my Energy capacity is. I used Reset eight times. Each time, I’ve been giving up some of my capacity. Also, each time I tried to tell someone about my power they… passed away on the second day. And that happened two times. The rest were because of people who died and were close to me. Anyway, the thing is that the power resides in my right eye and I have a lot more powers in there as far as I can see but well, sometimes it gets out of control and I can end up… hurting others without intending to’…
Kei looked at her brother, rather guilty. She was a bit shocked with how the power functioned. Reset wasn’t really supposed to work like that from what she knew.
…’So….your eye has to do with it? It’s weird, ’cause every single wielder of this power was using it differently. Like, from what I remember, the way to use it was to give up about 5% of your total Life Force and that was it’…
A while later, after pretty much everything calmed down, Ichiro had an unexpected guest and a weird one to say the least.
While he was in his room, searching for one of the books he got from the library, a dark hole opened in the ground and a shadow emerged from it.
Ichiro casted a spell instantly, which was shocking even for him. ‘I guess Hikari was right’. He threw the spell towards the dark figure, but it was instantly canceled.
…’Don’t try to attack me, it’s for your own good. Which brings me to the point. I’m here for your actual good. Kid. You’re not the only one which knows about your eye. A lot of us know and a lot of us can bypass your Reset. As for now, you are weak but WE can give you power and for a relatively low price’…
The shadow moved a little closer to Ichiro, making it’s presence stronger.
…’I can give you power, power to even surpass that girl, Hikari. It frustrates you to be so powerless, doesn’t it? To see EVERY SINGLE ONE of them surpass you’…
Ichiro tried to find reasons to define the mysterious person, but he couldn’t. It was all real. He was weak. For the likes of Hikari, he meant nothing more than a bug.
…’I know what you are thinking. I know you want to accept my offer. You want power, more than you think you do. Your soul desires it.’…
Ichiro was getting chills for some reason and he was constantly getting bad vibes about that presence.
…’What is the so-called price I have to pay?’…
He needed power, in order to protect everyone, he couldn’t just let his weakness slide.
…’The price is eliminating two targets.’…
