…’ICE AURA 1 – FROSTFANG’…
After Ichiro casted the spell, his blade was covered in very sharp Ice Energy and it felt way lighter than usual. When he tried to swing it, the spell broke and he fell on the ground almost unconscious. Hikari came at him and looked down with an angry face.
…’What was your big idea?’, she asked…
…’Just wanted to uh… try something else’…
She forcefully pulled him up on his feet and teleported him to the lake. He jumped in the water, ready to go deep, but Hikari pulled him back.
…’Not so fast. Who thought you about this move?’, she asked….
…’A book in the library gave me the info for the Aura skill and Sensei told me about the Water-Air reaction’…
…’Hm…I understand. But look, ask me before doing something like that. I wasn’t going to deny you doing it but I would help you at least’…
…’I understand, thanks though’…
…’Don’t’…
She stood up and walked towards the Dojo.
…’I’ll be seeing you later. Be sure to rest before practice’, she said….
Ichiro was confused but there wasn’t anything he could do after all, but one question still bothered him since about a day. Something seemed off with her behavior, like she’s gone through something that made her break or other stuff.
About fifteen minutes later, he got out of the water and made his way to the building. His Water control really came in handy as he could prevent his clothes from getting wet. ‘That’s the least it can do if it takes so much Energy’, he thought.
On the way to his room, he saw Hikari organizing some stuff in a short room, like a small weaponry. She didn’t notice him as she had her earphones in and was really concentrated on her job. Ichiro looked at her and noticed something on her left arm. Three lines. Red lines. They looked like wounds, or actual cuts, but he wasn’t sure. He started walking a bit faster as he was already staring for a lot of time.
After he rested in bed for about an hour, he dressed up and went back to the training room. Everyone was there, which was a bit weird but nothing TOO weird.
The practice didn’t feel as tiring but his endurance was as bad as usual, which screwed up his motivation a tiny bit.
At night, he decided to talk a walk around the campus, to relax for a bit. About ten minutes of walking later, he noticed Hikari on a cliff staring at the sky. She looked back at him with a weird expression.
…’What are you doing here? Get some sleep man’, she said….
…’I can’t’…
…’Would’ve started yelling at you if I didn’t know the feeling’…
…’Oh..’…
…’So, what’s keeping you up?’…
…’A thought. You’re up for a talk?’…
…’I guess. Just try not to annoy me. I might accidentally burn your Life Force’…
…’Uh… Oh.. Okay. So, random question, how are you feeling? Emotionally I mean’…
…’Okay, interesting question. Well, I guess I am good enough to have a little bit of motivation, but I could be better. Why?’…
…’I guess I might’ve noticed something. Some kind of…self hatred’…
…’Huh? What are you, some kind of mind reader or something? But yeah, I’ve nothing to hide, you’re right about it’…
…’Oh… I get it’…
…’You seem to be the type that depends on his friends’ or close ones’ mood, but really there’s no reason to care, so don’t worry about me’…
…’I can’t’…
She looked at Ichiro, deep in the eyes.
…’I could burn you up right now, but what’s the reason? Like, everyone here just passes right by me without looking me in the eyes, you know? How could you even claim that you care in the slightest when you’re also the newest member, huh?’…
Ichiro tried to keep eye contact with Hikari’s burning eyes, but he could barely resist a bit over ten seconds.
…’No answer, then? Figures’…
…’No, that’s not it. I can’t explain why or how, but I can feel something, I can’t figure out what it is, but… yeah. I’m sorry’…
Hikari looked at him with a bit of concern in her eyes.
…’Um… sorry to break this mood but, something is shining on your chest, a dark purple light. Though that might be your soul’…
…’My… soul?’…
