Chapter 24 - Chapter 23: Is it the world? Or Us?

As Akari falls from high above.

Genseki caught her falling at the same time, he moves his body towards her and ask her.

Akari can you hear me?

Akari tries to look at him but she's completely blind can't even see what's happening.

I-I can't see you Genseki. I've wasted alot of spiritual law this time...

Akari said in cracking tone.

Genseki tries to hold her body so both of them can survive as he speaks again.

Then heal my arm.

Here it's right infront of your right hand.

He said as he moves his body infront of her.

Akari moves her face toward her right hand to imagine the situation.

How bad is the injury?

She yells as both of them are still falling.

The whole arm is gone, right from the shoulders.

Genseki yells back.

Akari tries to imagine Genseki's body infront of her to know how he looks like.

She imagines him completely fine with his body.

Left or right?

Akari asks.

The left side!

Genseki yells.

Akari finally imagines Genseki without his left arm.

She now opens her hands wide infront of his left side of Genseki's body and start imagining his body gets regenerate back.

As in her imagination is done Genseki looks at his left arm gets back to normal like it always looked.

He catches Akari with both of his arm now.

One under her upper back and another under her knees.

I'll land on the ground now.

Hold me tight...

Akari wraps her arms tight on his body trying to find his neck, as Genseki uses his leg to move his body towards the ground.

As he finally passes the few clouds beneath him he founds a crowd of people in the night vibes crossing the roads from everywhere.

They are now somehow in Tokyo right above the most crossing roads where even at night there's alot of people.

Genseki decides to kick the air from the left side so he could land somewhere else.

If someone knew they are using the myth power they'll try to use them.

Genseki finds a small house he crashes into the window and lands inside safely.

The light was off.

He looks around for anyone around but it seems like they're sleeping.

Genseki takes Akari and turns back to the cracked window.

He jumps to the roof so no one could find them or catch them.

Shibuya is full of serious people after all and they're focused on their work anyways.

Meanwhile

---

Hayato and Hayaru is still inside the electric temple.

Raishin says he'll give him the prize because he got bored and he doesn't care anymore.

So kiddo...

Raishin mocks.

Would you rather a super cool lovely and strong and shiny move that can absolutely break your enemies!

Orrrr this lame sword or blade whatever.

Hayato looks at Raishin's both hands, one holding the blade in his right hand and nothing in his left hand.

Hayato thinks deeply and looks at his twin brother Hayaru.

What do you think younger brother?

A move that looks like yours or this "lame" blade.

Hayaru points at the blade while blood is still running through his nose.

Hayato nods to Hayaru and looks at the left side of Raishin's body.

I'll learn that move.

Hayato says confirming.

Very well.

Raishin closes his left hand just like Terravelle and the light user did.

He frees the blade and the blades runs through the floor like it's a ghost.

He approaches Hayato now and he's mockingly face is still drawn on him.

He taps on Hayato's right side of his neck right where his arm is missing.

Raishin starts saying words neither both of the twins can hear it.

Everyone felt silent that moment but Hayaru already knows that since he finished his trial earlier.

After Raishin finally finishes his words Hayato looks at Raishin's eyes to understand what's going on.

Suddenly a sharp pain in Hayato's heart hits him like a sword cutting him into halves.

Hayato holds the middle of his shirt trying to "take off" the pain away.

Then suddenly the vision goes blurry as his world starts fading.

He appears in the middle of nowhere running through the past electric users.

One screaming, one dying, one asking for hope.

He felt dizzy and headache running through random memories.

Then suddenly his vision goes even blurry and everything starts going fast.

Finally he finds himself walking in a dark place.

He looks around trying to find something.

A voice cuts his searching.

Hey... Are you okay?

You seems lost in your thoughts again.

Hayato looks next to him as he sees someone holding a torch as both of them walking into nowhere.

Whats wrong? I'm your friend, ////.

Hayato couldn't hear his name but he felt like he knows this guy from ages even though it's the first time he sees him.

Hayato can't see his face.

He can only see his body completely normal but his blurry face is completely unseen.

The guy who is walking with Hayato taps on his shoulders.

Hey, it's okay.

Everything is gonna be fine...

Maybe someone in the future might break this curse and free us from whatever this is.

The guy says trying to calm Hayato down.

Then Hayato suddenly bursts out crying and collapses on the floor.

He cries instantly after hearing his words.

Hayato is completely confused, he didn't even feel the cry was coming but he can clearly feel how empty this person is.

Hayato looks at his body seems like a female body.

The scene appears where even Hayato's face is also blurry.

Hayato finds himself floating infront of the two people's one female crying and the other a man holding the torch.

The man sits on his knees trying to comfort the girl as Hayato is still feeling the same pain as the a woman feels.

As Hayato is lost in the pain of the woman, she cuts Hayato with a cracking voice.

Why... Why us? Why we have to survive this... World? Why can't we just be normal humans without powers?

This is... Stupid... I just want to live like everyone else.

Why us?

She looks at the guy with her blurry, crying face.

The man taps on her shoulders and leans down.

Maybe we can't fix this curse.

But maybe the next generation can.

Or the after the next one, or maybe late.

But hey... We are together now, no need to feel empty.

He says in a calm and cheerfully voice.

As Hayato watches them both in silence and confusion.

The man leans in toward the women as if trying to give her a kiss.

The vision finally ends and Hayato comes back to the temple.

His eyes is still tearing from what just happend but he tries to ignore it.

Hayaru taps on Hayato's shoulders.

Are you okay big brother?

Hayaru asks curiously.

Hayato looks back at him.

He wipes his tears and stand up again.

Its okay I'm fine... Let's just... Leave this place...

As Hayato says that he finds himself pushed with Hayaru toward the floor.

The floor changes to a small portal enough to take them both.

Raishin watches from above after pushing both of the kids to the sky.

Survive that big world down there, don't die from a shark already kiddo?

He says mockingly as the portal closes slowly infront of Raishin...
