I thought that i lost conscious, but that wasn't the case, i closed my eyes involuntarily trying to focus more on the whispers that i kept hearing in my mind .
This was another vision, but this time i was in a complete pitch black place, it somewhat seemed kind of familiar to the time when i saw myself writing 15 lines and was able to get Paradox from before .
But it was also different, i felt that this pitch black surrounding me was actually a part of me, then i suddenly heard a few steps behind me and turned around and saw that the girl made of light appeard in front of me once again, i still wasn't able to see how she looked like, but her eyes shape were familiar, but i just couldn't put my finger on where did i saw them before .
The girl suddenly hanged her arms around me playfully and i held her tightly in my embrace as if i was afraid that if i to let her go, she might disappear, it was a deep yearning in my soul tainted with a huge amount of sadness, she then began to say with what i felt to be her smiling :
Weird, that's really really weird, i wanted to give you something that would allow you to remember me with, but why do everything turned to always become weird when it come to you .
You don't need to be this emotional, it isn't like the last time that we will meet each other or anything like that, if you grow to become enough strong to leave your plane, we might be able to meet again, this time we will remain together for all of eternity, okay .
The me in the vision said something silly that i would have never seen it coming out of his mouth and i wasn't even able to hear it, i only understood what he was saying from how the women responded, she replied with the sweetest and most soothing voice as before :
It's a promise, but don't lose yourself, again and force me to get you back to normal until then alright .
Now with the gift i gave you, it might not sound much to you who defeated a celestial like me, but it would help you out if you found yourself unwilling to use that cursed power of time, slaughtering all the guardian won't give you the authority over time, but it will only make you bear the wrath and pain all the timelines they were consisted of, it was also the only gift that i was currently able to give you at the current, i want to embrace you more, but if i continued any more like this, i might find myself being judged by others to be your accomplice and might be imprisoned, so could you let me go .
The me in the vision released a huge killing intent one that tainted his whole body red and only stopped when he found that his tainted aura was beginning to affect the woman in his embrace, he then released her in a hurry and vanquished his killing intent .
You know, i love you, i will always well .
I said something, but i was still unable to hear what it was, she responded to it :
Yes, i did but you are the only one that i truly held dear to my core of existence .
I again said something and she responded chuckling :
You are right again, but you are the only one that had beaten me among all of them, that's why you from that day become the only one special to me .
You are one easy to be read being, Monarch of Time .
Back to the important topic, i never saw someone with a black colored Battle Aura before, but it was affected by your Mana somehow, either way i really hope that it won't be much of a problem and that it will serve you well, now close your eyes .
(End Of The Recalling ) .
I suddenly closed my eyes and i felt something suddenly on my lips, then the vision ended, the next moment i opened my eyes, i saw that i was laying in the rubbles that was caused by me crashing into the walls of the arena, i crashed so hard that it seems that i went through a few walls too .
I looked at my hands and saw that they were now clad in Prana, pitch black colored Prana like the one that i had just seen in my vision, but unlike in my vision it was spreading around me back then it was cladding around me like a tight protective suit, it felt cold to look at, but i felt warm as it was engulfing me, it was a farewell gift of someone special to me .
I was beginning to feel that my eyes were getting watery, but i stopped that in time, by reminding myself that now wasn't the time for something like this to happen, i began to stand up and actually felt that my body was now back to normal, i was fine, even without using Heal, so it must be the working of my Prana .
I began to make my way back to the training arena through the hole that i just went through in unhurried manner, feeling filled with confidence, each step i took seem to be increasing that confidence on me even more, i was so confident that i felt i could challenge the impossible and i would be the one to one .
Left Hand, Right Hand, Left Leg, Right Leg, Solar Plexus, Heart, and Brow, those were the seven Gates of Prana i hadn't known where they were before, but now i felt that those parts of me were now releasing a huge amount of energy, all the seven Prana Gates were open and i felt truly elevated .
I appeared from the hole that i been just sent flying through, without much of a scratch and not even 10 seconds had passed, since i was thrown there, so that was enough to shock most of the whole audience, then the whole audience became shocked to see the black glint that i was currently clad in, the most shocked of them all was none other than the Captain of the Strikers, Isuragi Jin .
I used Paradox again and went ahead to stand in front of the Sophia senpai, the whole room was completely silent, but this silent was broken by the cheers of the vice captain once again telling me to beat the girl in front of me silly, i smiled warily looking at her as if to tell her to give this outrageous request to rest already, but she mistook my stare and began to cheer even stronger than before and kept blowing kisses towards me .
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this, but i settled on shaking my head and focus more on the battle at hand, i had an explosive amount of energy that felt like it was screaming at me, wanting to be released, i looked at the senpai in front of me and smiled at remembering what she said before about her wanting someone to defeat her in a crushing manner, i wasn't interested in dating her, but my pride was now screaming at me to crush her nonetheless .
My smiling seemed to taunt her, she smiled back in a carefree manner then kicked the earth beneath her and appeared in front of me aiming to finish this with a punch to the head, the moment the punch was launched, i caught her fist in my hand and felt that there was a huge amount of strength in that punch at least enough to crack my skull if it were to have hit me, luckily we were in the training arena, it wouldn't have done so much damage the moment i got out of the arena, probably .
I saw the shock in her eyes for the first time since this battle had started, but her getting shocked had only started, she struggled hard to get her fist released from my hand, she seeing that it was quite pointless to keep trying to hit me, she instead launched another attack on my chest, quite a wise move on her part, she could have chosen to attack me in the face again, but that wouldn't have allowed her enough room to use her full strength, due to our current body postures .
Once again i held her attacking hand in my hand, completely restricting from making any kind of movement, or so i thought, i suddenly saw one of her leg rising up and Instinctively understood what she was actually trying to do, i raised my leg and as if i was reading her mind, stopped her leg from hitting my sensitive area, used enough strength this time to completely repel her attack on me .
I don't know how many times her eyes widened since this second part of the battle had started, but i believe she did so at least 3 or 4 times, seeing her like this, my pride was finally satisfied and i believed that there was no longer need to continue fighting, i currently made her unable to continue to, so i said :
" What do you think, senpai, was that crushing enough for you .
I saw that she nodded her head and smiled and turned off her Prana, so i let go of her and turned off mine as well, but the moment i did so she attacked instantly, but my Paradox was instantly casted as well and i still quite familiar with the opening of the seven Prana Gates, turned on my Prana and i appeard behind her and with enough strength to had her go down, i kicked at her calves and that had her on the floor, looking completely frustrated and her face flushed all over, probably due to failing in sneaking attack me .
I once again asked her the same question, she nodded, but she had probably understood the difference between our strength level, so she just acknowledge her defeat this time .
I went back to the hole i made in the wall before and picked my ID Tag, then proceeded to head back, the moment i appeared from the hole, i was declared as the winner and heard another round of applause, that was the the second time i got applauded for in this day .
But even he declared that naturally, the shocked expression on his face was still there, i already know why he was like that, due to the fact that i was now aware of the existence of the term Ancient Dragon, i could imagine that he too might know a thing or two about it and i can see mistaking me for one right about this instant and why wouldn't he be suspicious, i was literally using both Light Arts and Dark Arts, something that i believe was quite unprecedented .
The round of applause continued for some time and was soon followed by loud whistles from the boys side of the field, i wasn't that popular with the boys, so the only reason to why they could possibly be cheering for me like that must have something to do with who my opponent was, as i listened to some of the whispers coming from the boys side, they treated them as whispers, but they were loud enough to reach the ears of all the people that were present .
They were saying things like :
" Finally someone had taken down Sophia-senpai "
" He even bullied her and in no time too "
" i wonder what that weird glint on his body before, was that also a unique dark art, only he can use " .
" I wonder about that too, he was getting thrashed by Sophia-senpai, but the moment he came back with that glint on him, he beat her with no effort, good job, we are finally free " .
At the last comment i found myself involuntarily looking at where she was currently was, weirdly enough she was still on the ground and just by looking at her, i was able to tell that she was quite depressed about her loss, i guess they really suffered a lot in her hands, so they were shamelessly rejoicing her loss .
I went to her and helped her up, she seemed to have at least lost her resentment towards me as she took my hands without hesitation, the moment i brought her up, she asked in a carefree manner :
What was that dark art you used just now ? .
Believe it or not, what he just used was actually Prana .
Before i say anything, the captain appeared silently beside us and said this, once again shocking the senpai in front of me, due to him stating this quite loud too, the other Saviors stopped their rejoicing and what they were doing a almost fell to the ground on a comical manner, the arena once again fell into silent .
1 minute passed while all the people were now surrounding me and looking at me as if i was a rare specimen, or a some kind of monster or something, luckily the awkward silence engulfing the atmosphere was broken, by a sudden cry of a blue haired girl as she clinged once again to my arms like a koala and began to shower me with flattering words about her never doubting that i would one, i appreciated the gesture, but thought that now was not the time to indulge myself in a conversation with her .
Due to her sudden action, most of the people were finally awakened from the trance they were in, with the first being the captain who wasn't in trance as much as he was bewildered, but he was still unable to form words, he kept opening his mouth and shutting it like a fish out of the water .
Then he was soon rained with questions with the shocked members of the Strikers asking him all sort of questions that he himself had no answer of, like how that was possible, wasn't he a Kuroma, this being unfair, some were still in disbelief asking if the captain was serious, or was he just messing with them and on and on .
Even though the captain was burdened with ton of questions that were now on his mind, he still was able to regain enough composure and channel enough of his authority as the captain and said in a deep commanding voice :
Enough chitchatting here, don't you all have a training session to do, or do you think you are ready for me to test you all in a sparring session instead .
The moment all the members heard this, they began to retreat in a hurry with a troubled faces and began to once again get absorbed in doing their own exercises, then the captain turned to me and Sophia-senpai and said:
You two as well better get busy, we will take about what just happened here after the training is over .
He then left and began to instruct the othe members, we both looked at each other and she suddenly blushed and said :
I will depend on you from now on, that what you guys say in these kind of situations, yes ? .
" HUH .
