   "Freeland has a law that states "superhuman abilities and magic of all forms are prohibited from being practiced. Any civilian caught using their powers in public will be charged with terrorism and arrested immediately" 

   It is claimed by the government that this law was put in place to prevent the great Meta incident that occurred twenty-five years earlier but the law wasn't doing anything to help the underclassed citizens of the country.

   There were people, those that the protection of the government couldn't reach. Those who lived with constant fear in neighborhoods with the highest rates of crime. Those who had the power to fight back but were forbidden to do so by law.

   Soon, people grew tired. Those who were brave enough put on masks and took on nicknames in order to do what was right, they were called superheroes." Naomi narrated then took a huge slurp from her milkshake.

   "I moved here to join and make a difference" she added as she took another huge slurp.

   "So that explains why you were running around in those funny clothes" Natsumi replied

   "And why they kept calling you Snowstorm" she said with a smile.

   "So, sis" Naomi said

   "What brings you to Freeland?" She asked

   "Kidnappers" Natsumi replied

   Naomi held herself for a moment before bursting into laughter.

   "I'm serious" Natsumi said

   "I was originally supposed to be in Dahüd"

   "But my friends and I were kidnapped and I found myself here"

   At first there was an awkward silence between the two, then Naomi gave Natsumi a look of concern.

   "Sister" she said in an angry tone

   "Did you just say that you and your friends were kidnapped?" She asked

   "Yes" Natsumi replied

   "That's what I said"

    "WHY THE F**K DIDN'T TELL ME THAT SINCE?!!" Naomi yelled in anger

   "I... forgot.." Natsumi answered

   "YOU WHAT?!!" Naomi shouted

   "How could you forget something so important?" She asked

   "We're going now before they're in any more trouble"

   "Don't worry yourself" Natsumi replied

   "Just sit back and enjoy the rest of your milkshake"

   "What do mean?" Naomi asked

   "How can you be so nonchalant when your friends are in danger?"

   Natsumi didn't reply with a word, she simply directed Naomi's gaze to a television with the news on. The headline said "BREAKING: FOREIGNERS CAUSE A STIR". 

   Anchor: "we have just received reports that someone is publicly displaying their special abilities in the country. Reports say that the suspect is a sixteen year old boy with unusual white hair."

   "Suspect is believed to be a foreigner from Fubuki island but there is no information on how he got into the country. No travel agency has records of his arrival and officials are saying that he may have gotten into the country illegally"

   "Suspect has refused to cooperate with the local police and is resisting arrest. The retaliation is strong and the police is having a hard time subduing him. Backup has been called for and is on its way"

    "In other News, it seems another unmasked civilian has been spotted using powers in public. CCTV footage from different parts of the country show a young man disappearing and reappearing. Security experts are still trying to see how this relates to the previous report"

   "Another report just came in. It seems that all the soldiers sent to investigate the restricted area know as 'Goldman field' have been found dead on the scene. The leader of the expedition, commander August Hughes is still missing. Investigations are still going on to uncover what transpired there"

   "Do you believe me now?" Natsumi asked as she took another slurp from her milkshake. 

   Naomi was dumfounded. Her jaw dropped as she watched was going on in the news. It took her a few seconds to regain herself and sit back down to continue drinking her milkshake.

   "I may need more of this after all" Naomi said as she signaled for more

   "So" she said as she looked at Natsumi with a smile

   "Is your man among the troublemakers?" She asked and Natsumi replied her with a smile saying "Of course"

   "He's the biggest troublemaker of them all"

   SHIN SEKAI SECRET: Yang can immediately get to Shiro no matter how far apart they are. If Shiro called for him, he would respond in an instant.

    "well, Mr Addison" Ellie said as the camera faced Orie. "What are your thoughts on the current state of the match?" "I'm really not sure" Orie replied "To be honest, this is the first time I've seen Her like that so I don't actually know what to expect" "But if I had to take a guess..." "... I'd say I'm glad she wasn't like this in our match" Natsumi missed her first strike, and her second, and her third, and her fourth, and... all her strikes, she missed all of it. As it turns out, Kurobe had quite the reflex and was really good at evasion and keeping the distance. Every time Natsumi got close, he quickly evaded and put distance between them, pushing her back, attacking from blind spots, setting walls between them and a Whole lot of moves that prevented him from getting hit but that didn't stop his opponent from trying. With each passing second, Natsumi got closer to landing a hit on Kurobe. At first it was him feeling the little breeze as her fist fle

  • Cold hard truth

    Many things can anger a fighter. An opponent that toys with them, someone that just won't stay down and in many cases, a direct insult. But none of those things were happening to Kurobe, he was facing something far more annoying; an opponent that isn't paying attention to him. At first glance, it looked like Kurobe was dominating the match without giving his opponent any chance to counter, but there were many times since the beginning of the fight where Natsumi would have been able to strike back but did nothing instead. She had barely moved from where she was standing at the start and she was in deep thought. All Natsumi did from the beginning of the match was to fend off the incoming attacks while thinking about what Orie had said to her. "I have finally seen your true self" "I finally know you" She couldn't muster up the courage to ask him what he meant because she was too afraid of his answer. She was afraid of the truth. "If the real me is a monster...

    "Ellie porter here" "I'm in the stadium with our favorite finalist and we're here to watch the tussle for third place" "The crowd density in the stadium today would make you wonder how it would be in the final" "The place is packed!" "The first fighter we see coming on the arena is a favorite of many" "A one time champion who claimed his only title by beating all the heavyweights in the early matches and since then he has never not made it to the semifinals" "He is a force to be reckoned with" "Anyone that saw his previous fights would know that he is an opponent that even the champions do not take lightly" "I introduce to you" "Someone most of you already know" "The head of the department of geography" "The man who almost won against Fuji Waramaki" "ISHIGAMI KUROBE" "The second person coming up to the arena" "We love her for her beauty, we love her for her strength and we love her because she loves the one we want to win"

  • Tears of a beautiful summer

    Orie was finally on the offensive. His wind blasts weren't doing much damage but they were strong enough to throw his opponent off balance and disorganize her attacks. He was able to close the distance bit by bit with each successful blast and every one of them hit. Before Natsumi could tell what was going on, Orie was standing directly under her. "White" orie said with a smile as he looked at her from below, then he spun his staff and struck the floor with it. Natsumi immediately turned to guard against it but no wind came from Orie's direction, it came from above and pushed her down. As Natsumi struggled to stand up, Orie began walking towards her and spoke. "I wondered why my prayers weren't working on you" "It would stop you for a brief moment then she'd take care of the rest by will power" "After this encounter, I think I finally figured it out" "The reason why my prayers don't work and who you are" "You are Natsumi" "You are not a spirit tha

    "Power" "The powers that exist this world baffle even those that wield them" "Their might, the mechanism behind their use and their origin" "The world seeks answers to these mysteries but cannot find it because it tries to be logical about it" "Logic can never understand miracles" "Some call it a mutation" "Some call it evolution" "But the only ones that are right are those who think it's a blessing" "A blessing from a being beyond our meager existence" "A blessing from a god" "The law of name suggests that this blessing is not bestowed at random but follows a certain pattern" "It could be by direct meaning" "It could be by a story of the forgotten past" "It could even be through a silly wordplay but your name will affect a great aspect of your life and your power and no one gets to chose which aspect is affected."

  • The air around him

    "I was wondering why you didn't come to see me all this time" Orie said to Natsumi but got no reply. "You're usually the first to talk, you know" "Now you have me in an awkward position" "I already know what you want so I'm not going to ask" "But you have to tell me one thing" "HOW BADLY DO YOU WANT IT?" Edwin Law, official and only referee of the tournament. He had been officiating for the past two years but his name became well known after he declared Orie winner over Chris. He was rumored to be one of those who had "god eyes" but that match confirmed to the public that it was true. Eyes that see through deception, eyes that see what is true, eyes that nothing can escape, The eyes of the law. With his eyes he was able to see and perfectly replay past events in order to make sound judgement. Edwin's eyes allowed him to analyze all the previous matches he had officiated but even after replaying them over and over yet, he had no confidence in any possible outc
