   By the time they were done setting up, more than five minutes had gone by.

   "Their powers have returned" Yamato said

   "How long until they go off again?" He asked

   "It's better to just wait them out and move when they are powerless" he suggested but Orie disagreed with him.

   "It's four hours until the next power shut down" he said

   "If we wait that long, we risk failing the game"

   "I forgot to tell you this but by the time the game began, the Metas already knew where source of their powerlessness was coming from"

  "This game is not espionage"

  "It's pure violence"

  "But don't worry"

  "It's not like bullets don't work on mages"

   Before anyone could say anything, Shiro and Mia darted out of the house screaming "LET'S GOOO!!"

  "Aren't you worried about them getting into trouble?" Natsumi asked, looking at Orie.

  "No, not really" Orie answered as he made his way to the door

  "This is a game"

  "The fight doesn't start until we leave this street"

  "and besides, Mia is already good with weapons and I personally trained Shiro"

   "If you say so" Natsumi replied as she followed him.

   On the other hand, Shiro and Mia were met with a great silence in the middle of the street. The only thing they could hear were their own voices. 

   "I was really expecting some immediate action" Shiro said to himself

   "I know right?!!" Orie yelled from behind him

   "Just don't forget that this is a game"

   "No matter how heated the battle gets in the war zone, it will not reach here"

   "And also," he said

   "The war zone is just past this street and if we don't join the fight and win, we fail the first mission and the second mission becomes insanely harder than it's supposed to be"

   "And oh yeah" he added

   "There are only two missions so if things go well, we'll be out of here in few hours"

   "By the way" he said again

   "The hardest wave is the first wave so please... I said please... Follow my instructions. After that, you can do whatever you want"

   Truly, the warzone was just past the street. As soon as they took the first step out of it, they were met with an ear ringing amount of noise and chaos. It was as if someone turned the volume from zero to a hundred in an instant.

  Powerful Metas were dropping from the sky and attacking a large army of Revengers that was positioned in the distance.

  Sounds out of destruction and death filled the air and bullets were being shot in every direction

   "SO WHAT NOW?!!" Shiro yelled, try to speak to Orie amidst the noise.

   "WHAT?!!" Orie replied, not hearing what Shiro said

   "I SAID, WHAT NOW?" Shiro yelled much more loudly

   "Oh" Orie said as he finally heard what Shiro was saying

   "JUST DO AS I DO!!" he yelled. Then he positioned his hand in front of his face and yelled "SHIELD!!" and a round holographic blue shield appeared on his hand and he rushed forward. The others also did as he did and their shields also appeared and they rushed forward.

SHIN SEKAI SECRET: It is always cold in Fubuki island. Even during the summer time, snow sometimes falls in the morning.

  • Burn out

    As soon as Ellie noticed there was something wrong with Orie, she signaled her crew to turn off their cameras. He had been mumbling for a while but soon the mumbling intensified. His eyes were heavy, his voice was inaudible, he could feel his consciousness fading but he kept on praying.He had thought that he had enough strength to keep up the prayer but his condition was worse than he had thought it was."I'm sorry" he said as he fell to his knees and went silent.As the paramedics were rushing to take Orie away the thing that he was trying to keep under control broke free and took over Natsumi.Kaen tried to call back his flames but they were sniffed out as soon as they came in. The mist was thick, it was cold and he could barely see what was in front of him. Icicles were coming at him from different angles and he could hardly evade any of them.He saw himself at a dead end. He could not see anything he could do that would cause him to win the match. He was tired, bleeding, aching a

  • Keeping cool

    "Who should I fear more?" Kaen wondered"Is it the monster that makes me shudder""Or is it the vessel that contains it?"As Kaen prepared to engage his opponent, all that he could think of was the fear that he felt. He could not forget it.Not many remember it but there was once a great incident that took place in Fubuki island. It was an incident that almost claimed the lives of all who lived on the island.A great frost, so cold that no flame could resist, quickly spreading and freezing everything in its path. In the dark winter night when many slept, this frost came along to take their breath.Somehow, everyone woke up in their beds the next morning with no recollection of the past twelve hours. This event sparked many rumors and among them was the rumour that the residents died and were brought back, proponents of this rumor backed their claims by speculating a tragic event within the twelve hours period.That night came to be known as the night where men slept. The "silent night

  • I am here

    "THE SIGNS DO NOT LIETHE TRUTH WILL NOT DIEAS TIME WILL GO BYWE WILL SAY OUR GOODBYESFOR THE TRUE PRIEST TO BE BORNTHE FALSE GODS WILL ALL DIE"Orie heard these words just before he woke up. He looked around in confusion, trying to figure out where he was. The last thing he could remember was that he was surrounded by dust in the arena.He looked at the nurse who seemed surprised for a reason and asked "how long have I been here?""F... Four days" the nurse answered nervously and Orie remain silent"We thought you were dead" she added"Who won?" Orie asked"What?" The nurse replied, still shaken up"My fight" Orie rephrased"Who won?""Well..." The nurse replied"The other guy was disqualified so...""... I guess you won""Oh" Orie said as he tried to get off from the bed but the but the nurse immediately moved to stop him."You just woke up sir" she said"We can't let you walk around till we know for sure that you're okay""I'm okay" Orie replied as he got down from the bed but

  • Still standing

    Of the expectations that the people had, no one expected that a majority of the spectators would be okay with the outcome of the fight. They were sure that what they saw was real, they were sure that what they saw was fair, they were sure that the contestants gave it their all and they were sure that the winner deserved his victory.Even those who didn't support him in the beginning were cheering for him with all their heart, even those who lost their bets because of him rejoiced at the sight.There were many good fighters in the tournament, many who at the wave of their hands would cause marvelous sights but of all the fights in the tournament, Orie had shown them most invigorating.The cheers went on for a while until people in the crowd began to notice that the referee was yet to formally declare a winner. Soon they noticed that orie had not made a single movement since the clearing of the dust, he was still standing but he could not move.Though one person was on the floor while t

  • The bird and the beast

    From within the circle came forth a huge bird of prey; a hawk. It appeard to be fully covered in silver. Just by looking at it, one could tell that its beak was harder than a rock and that its claws were as sharp as blades, even its wings didn't seem flying was all they could do. At this point in the battle where pride was being cast aside, the same thought ran through the minds of everyone watching. "NOW THE REAL FIGHT BEGINS" "Go" at this command from Chris, the bird threw itself at Orie with incredible speed. Orie evaded the bird without problem but what came next was quite challenging. After evading an attack from above he found himself facing one from below. Not many can escape such attacks from Chris. He would use the bird to make his opponents dodge in a certain manner, then he would go in for the real attack when their balance had been compromised. It was quite an effective move, but just not for Orie. "How is this possible?" Chris thought to himself as h

  • The market day

    "This is my day" "This is my day" "This is my day" It kept repeating but Natsumi could not understand what it meant" "This is my day" She knew she had forgotten something "This is my day" She was sure she had forgotten something "This is my day" Something that would help her discern the situation. "This is my day" It stopped as soon as she realized what it meant. She remembered that when she thought it was Orie's birthday, he had told her these words. She remembered how he told her of the four market days of his tribe and that he shared his name with one of them. She remembered that he told her how the days affected his power, and this made her the least surprised person among the audience when Orie got back up on his feet. "WHAT... THE... F***!!!!?" Ellie screamed at the camera "How much blood does this guy have?" "He's lost so much yet he is still standing" "What kind of immortal dragon sh** is this" "This is not easy to believ
