Chapter 21 - The First of Many to Come
I'm falling! Where is this, exactly!? In the far skies from hundreds of meters away into it, currently abruptly falling back to the earth with unthinkable speeds, Inoyva and the other individuals sharing the same experience, that being the students of Class 12-C cut through air like rain. Without the air posing no threat in terms of sight, he saw all around that their bodies drifted ceaselessly and limbs that weighed less like the arms almost flail like paper or plastic. Below him, the course they fell to was a concentration of trees, essentially a forest and in the middle of the concentration of trees, was barren land. Still, Inoyva could not forget that he was also part of that descent and required some method in order to stop falling or perform the strange thing Ms. Relka did before, the method to appear from one place to another by passing through something he could not identify with a glance. But what was cleared about was that, a tear, as if a part of reality was altered to re

D-rock training grounds. On barren land, Ms. Relka stepped in front of her class. With them landing safely before, she wanted them to begin the supposed test right off the bat. "You all survived… Celebrations will come later as this one hurdle in your way will be harder to overcome. Granted, you are still students in training, so it should not be impossible to achieve…" Even though, they were on a massive stretch of flatlands, tall trees would surround the empty space in a circular form. Barren lands and a forest, an anomaly lay in wait due to the surprising position of the environment, however, they could observe a large structure at the center of the barren lands, it resembled a large castle. 'Wait, are Abyss here? Is this some kind of prank? Right from the get-go, we are supposed to fight an entire horde…? If it so, then is this out in the country, or wildness? It doesn't feel so, though. I feel a lingering energy imbued in all things here, including the tree, too.' Inoyva's uni

Chapter 23 - First Battle
"Amadioha." Pertains to advanced modification embedded onto a recognized individual's eyes. Such modification empowers said individual with an ability that surpasses of any known technology to date. Often touted as the eyes of the flame, Amadioha gifts one technique which is unique to a single Knight. To that one unique ability, no two Knights have ever received absolute identical powers, since the creation of the Legions. Through activating it, various marks will appear to unravel from the face, first originating from the eyes, then will take to a pattern that is unique to that individual. Four different of shades will glow from Amadioha and from these shades, one shade will display in their eyes and will glow. "Crimson red," which amplifies Ethereal energy in the body, manipulates the pupils to be slightly larger. "Whitish green," amplifies one's own sight of the surroundings, manipulates the pupil to drastically increase to a point of covering much of the whites. "Dark blu

FLAME ART: BATTLE RIDDEN! Meanwhile, the attack of the guards would reach the center of the field. Mixo was in seated position. She patiently gathered Ethereal energy. Steadily, her technique formed into spears. With their solid shapes as if actual spears, they emitted traces of energy as vapor. A shade of orange in appearance, the sharp and thin projectiles floated behind her. Mixo required tremendous concentration, but being behind Inoyva gave her that much needed requirement. Therefore the sharp tips of her spears looked up into the sky. Strangely enough, a visible mark was on Mixo and Inoyva. Mixo draw her arm close to the chest, then, quickly waved it towards the sky. Following that command, her creations followed in hot pursuit. The launched spears' endpoint would be not to reach the guards, but rather the castle itself. Glittering lights in the sky appeared again. It had almost seemed like a rain of spears was descend from the heavens. *** Suddenly, it was clear

Chapter 25 - An Instance
D-rock training grounds. Cai threw her body into quick motion, weaving through the faux Abyss' boss attempts at her life and evaded swiftly. Belatedly, the faux Abyss utilized massive hairy tails, throwing them at foes and cause damage. However, Cai was not going to fall to the barrage of tails and instinctively returned to the line of battle. Previously, her aggressive manner of attacking had been stopped in its track, even though that was not yet a failure in her books. Offense was the greatest defense. Even if for now, she could not locate any weakness or potential slip in its defenses, she would wait for the opportunity to come. The eager girl dodged by a hair's breadth. Nevertheless, she was being pushed back from the prior position where a fist was thrown. Her sight seemed to increase for the better, which quickened the rate of movement of the eyeballs. Once again, going straight in with full force! Cai reached the point where her fists spoke, violently slamming a right

Revealing an ugly scene of burnt hair and flesh, more than 80% of the boss's tails were scorched and burned out of existence. To the point of feeling pity towards it, the large ape made its entrance again with the main body revealed to all. Total control of the battle had returned to the candidates. An explosive launch created a small crater from where Cai kicked the ceiling in order to gain speed. Cai glinted at yet another chance. By an incredible display of Ethereal energy, an opportunity for retaliation appeared. Although this time around, the chances of victory increased to a drastic level. With her body in midair, Cai held on that momentum and grabbed a hold of the tiny gem which manifested itself out her body. Taking to the center stage once more, Cai shot out like a straight bullet. 'Sharp, heavy, rigid. I am not best suited for long-range attacks, so my weapon should be…!' To a sudden inwardly command that compelled its being, the gem gave off light, then, amassed its

Chapter 27 - Taking that Step
At first draft, they threw various skills and abilities, and wished for a desirable result from that. In regards to the plan to take down and eliminate the horde, combinations of lingering emotions such as doubt, hesitation and a chance of failing the task, left a horrible taste in their mouths that would subside. But any kind of marathon is completed through taking a single step forward. Therefore, they opted to trust their abilities and their comrades. A collective agreement that even if their backs are shown to the enemy, their comrades will be by their side to strengthen them. Flawless coordination! Accumulated, polished skills! Careful observation and judgment of the situation! Steady and precise actions performed to aid the rest of the party members through lessening the difficulty of the task. Through these requirements done magnificently, Inoyva’s party would complete the abrupt task given to them in flawless victory despite having a hurdle hanging over their heads.

Strangely enough, the atmosphere around was rather meager even after passing through the jaws of another possibility of death. Perhaps the appropriate mindset in fostering a hardened mentality was what urged to them to remain somewhat sane as any normal person would perceive. From the entrance exam to this instance, the candidates were becoming accustomed to the absurd levels of danger accompanying the path of becoming a Knight thereafter. Even so, they calmed their nerves and proceeded cordially to the rest of the party members near them. While holding the red sword in hand, Inoyva, who deactivated his Amadioha from before, looked to someone else in the group. The fifth member of his party, that being the other male, Ntsako caught his attention. Mixo and the other two girls gathered into a circle. “The first time I actually saw you, you were wearing a cap but your hair is actually lovely and overflowing.” A common accessory used to cover one’s head from the scorching heat of t

"The first part was intense endurance training that will help in gaining muscle mass, and stamina, not to mention other advantages. For this entire month, memorize this regimen. Burn it into your minds. The second part is control over levitation. As this is the most important aspect that gives Knight their mobility, you need to perfect it." I wanted to start off by saying that it didn't go without a cinch… but, that would be far from the truth. Unlike the time when I first floated in air, control was required. First, float up to about 10-meters, straight up. Easy! As to how you land safely, became the hardest part. Within the first few minutes, we continued a cycle of floating up and falling. "My face!" Unfortunately, one student fell to the ground in a proactive position, with his face that bared all of his body weight at the point of collision, as well as the momentum from the descent. "When coming down, pretend to be like someone who does parkour, by distributing the momentu

Chapter 30 - Life in the Dorms -4-
For Cai, going out on a date with these suitors would be like approaching a "talking weed," simply "a waste of air," is what she portrayed, but it was merely a strategy to force a certain "someone" to stop, and ask her out first. 'She's doing it, again! Does reveling in the same tactic really pleasure you that much? Well, "If you wish to ask me out on a date, offer me a country or two first, and then I might consider it," is a set-off that will hinder the spirits of any who approach her, but is what she saying true?!' 'Of course not! Males are relatively dumb, and often predictable. It's their habitual nature to become anxious when faced with competition. Now, what will you do?' It was at this point that a rebellious glare shook the entire room. Pausing for a second, the mood around Cai and Inoyva was distorted. In a careful deduction, that he was a close friend, that might have shared fond and unfortunate memories with, he maybe was jealous about the attention she received. Altho
