Chapter 22 - Chapter 21: Light

After Genseki chooses the left hand, she closes her open hands.

Very well.

She flips the blade on her right hand and holding it like a dagger.

She frees the blade...

The blade suddenly runs throw the ground like it's a ghost and dissappears by that.

The blade is now somewhere on earth.

Maybe in the dessert maybe in the snow no one knows...

Terravelle speaks and then looks at Genseki.

Now... You'll learn the move. Which is easier and very fast.

It won't take few seconds belive me.

She approaches Genseki and puts her right hand on his shoulders.

She is saying something but Genseki can't hear her...

He only sees her mouth moving.

Then suddenly a sharp pain appears in the middle of his chest.

He collapse on the floor and his hand tight on his chest, like he's trying to get the pain out.

Pain is too sharp and very painful, maybe even worse than a heart attack...

...

The pain... Dissappear?

Just after few minutes the pain suddenly dissappears like it didn't happen?

Genseki takes a close look on his chest but he sees nothing but his half cut hoodie.

He stands up again to see if there's anything wrong with his body.

He closes and opens both of his hands checking if there's something wrong with his muscles... Nothing?

He's completely confused, he don't know what just happend or what is going on.

He raises his head to look at Terravelle...

Suddenly his eyes changes.

From green to dark green.

He start getting random memories from the past.

He sees how the past earth users were using his power and his domain.

Many memories running through his eyes he can't understand a single thing of what's happening.

He sees a guy summoning a lot of walls made out of stone.

And another one where he sees an old man protecting children.

And another one where everything is blur to him but he saw something like a guy kills someone that's close to him by his old friend.

And then his body changes with someone from the past.

He's now in someone else's memory.

He can move his fingers and his body normally.

He raises his head to look around him but he sees even worse.

He sees a guy that's using dark power kill the light user just with his bare hands.

The dark user seems happy about it.

While Genseki... Cries?

Gen doesn't even know who are they, but he's... Crying?

He's crying like he just saw his favorite person dying in front of him.

Maybe it's because of the memory.

Or maybe it's what happend in the past, but Genseki can clearly feels it.

He can feel the betrayal in his eyes and the pain in his heart.

Like he's seeing the worst betrayal he have ever seen.

...

Genseki blinks twice and he suddenly wakes up from whatever was happening to him.

He still feels the betrayal but it wasn't even his problem, it was just someone's else problem in the past.

Clap clap

Yes yes now you can do your move.

Terravelle speaks while Gen is still lost from this experience.

Clap...

Another clap from Terravelle to wake him up.

He finally looks around trying to find those two who one were dying and the other were happy about it.

But nothing... Just the cracked ground everywhere and him standing in the middle infront of Terravelle.

Terravelle puts her left hand on his left shoulder.

Its okay kiddo, this what you have to go through in the beginning.

If you chosen the blade first you would've seen worse later...

Anyways, try naming your domain.

Genseki looks at Terravelle eyes.

You can name it anything!

Terravelle speaks cheerfully.

Maybe something like stone crusher!

Or unbreakable armor!

Whatever you think of will be your domain afterall.

Genseki looks at his hands.

His lost fingers and broken bones in his arm is still there.

He's trying to remmber how that guy's arm looked like.

Or how it felt.

It felt like it have been living in constant chaos without rest.

And at the end he gets betrayed by someone who's very close to him and kills his favorite person infront of him.

Genseki shakes his head and finally wakes up from this memory.

It wasn't his memory, so it's not his problem.

He speaks.

I'll name it... Eien no Gan (eternal rock)

Terravelle claps for him.

Nice choice kiddo, now you can leave this temple!

Oh yeah one thing...

She stands infront of him.

You have to survive out there...

She pushes him off and a portal suddenly appears beneath him. Terravelle waves at him.

Bye bye... You were a cute one you know...

Then after that the portal closes and Genseki is still falling from above the sky...

---

Meanwhile...

---

Akari appears in the middle already bleeding from the eyes.

The place appears inside the gate where the strongest light user and the rest of the 25 users are just sitting there.

None of them moves and Akari's blood running out of her eyes through her face.

It's not because of the pressure like Enketsu with Zeka or the memories like Genseki.

Its just pure light.

Light is too strong for her, her eyes went bleeding from just passing the gate...

She tries to open them slowly but her eyes gets even more damaged just for opening it.

The strongest light user finally realizes there's someone inside the gate.

He lowers his power into zero so she could open her eyes and finally see.

She attempts to open her eyes again...

Finally she can see but her eyes is still hurting.

She stands infront of the gate to take a good look around the place.

Just one big throne for the strongest and 25 chairs for the other users.

Ah... So you're one of the new generations aren't you?

The strongest speaks.

We were waiting for you.

He stands up and approaches Akari.

Welcome little girl, this is my temple, and my name is...

He stops for a minute

I'll say it later.

He doesn't kick her aside like Raishin or ignore her like Terravelle.

So, would you choose this legendary blade or a move where you could flip the battle?

He goes directly without even starting the trial yet.

Akari is confused from his question but she hesitates for a bit.

I-I'll choose the move... I already got an axe so it doesn't matter...

The light user nods and just as that he closes his grip with his left hand and flips the blade just like Terravelle did.

The blade goes under the world and vanishes.

Don't worry little girl, you'll find it somewhere on earth.

He says.

But now you have to do the trial so you could learn this move.

And for that...

He claps two times.

A sudden ten users appears out of nowhere around the place.

For the first trial you'll kill all of these ten users...

And you'll get into the second trial.

I wish you a good luck!

And by that Akari left confused infront of random ten users infront of her, she summons her axe anyways and speaks, very cold and calm this time.

Come to me...
