The Divine Core CHAPTER 23: "FRESHMAN VS SOPHOMORE(10): FORGING HISTORY"
In the aftermath of the intense battle, Gaia lay defeated and bloodied on the unforgiving battlefield. The cheers of the audience echoed around her as Yoko emerged victorious.As the medical team rushed to attend to Gaia's injuries, Kai's gaze remained fixed on the fallen Daemon, a mix of emotions swirling within him."Man, she really took a brutal beating," Kai exhaled, his eyes meeting the understanding glances of Chiko, Kota, and Haku.“Yoko isn't your run-of-the-mill Daemon you can toy with,” Haku declared, his confidence unwavering. “She's laser-focused on proving her clan wrong. She's set on making them see that labeling Gaia as their ultimate weapon just because she was born with this crazy elemental power mix, the likes of which we haven't seen in centuries, is the elders' biggest blunder, and that’s a fact.”“She undoubtedly possesses potential. Having four elements in her arsenal makes her no lightweight,” Chiko deduced with a thoughtful nod. “It’s all about tapping into that
The Divine Core CHAPTER 24: "FRESHMAN VS SOPHOMORE(11): KAGE VS MIRAI"
Slightly groaning, Kage got back to his feet, staring down at his opponent.'As long as the technique is performed within your field of view, you can replicate it with ease… Man… What a pain.' A stream of thoughts flooded his mind.Regrouping at an instant, Kage gripped his fists, releasing a mirage of electrified whip-like energy which Mirai dodged fairly easily.Whilst his opponent was distracted, Kage clapped his hands together, releasing a concentrated surge bolt of energy to which Mirai barely escaped, turning 360 degrees and delivering back an electrified bolt of energy.Kage took the attack head on, stretching forth his arm and absorbing the volt of energy. Using the momentum, he added on to the incredible volt of energy with his energy reserves, ultimately generating projection crescent blades, taking a page out of Yoko's book.As the technique raged on, Mirai hopped on two of the blades and seemingly gained control of the blades as he hovered up above Kage and sent back a mira

Chiyo KobayashiSign Out"I can't believe it! What did we just see? Has the prodigy fallen?!" Satoru announced."'Nimitsu,' 'Mochiimono,' 'Jitsuryoku.' He didn't use this technique in the previous year's tournament." Kota recalled."This must be the new technique Mirai's been working on for quite a while now," Haku explained."What does it do though?" Kai asked, curious to know more."Hmm… he really is pushing past the limitations of his Core." Chiko commended. "It feels incomplete, sadly, but it was enough to finish the job."'These new abilities this Mirai dude performed: the beam of light that created ethereal copies of the caster, the decoy image that was used to create the beam of light. Kage didn't attack him with any of these. So, why? How is he able to use the abilities of his opponent that hasn't even displayed such a feat?' Kai's thought process began analyzing the data he had received."'Nimitsu,' 'Mochiimono,' 'Jitsuryoku' These words weren't chanted at random." Kai theori

The symphonic music of heart beats racing amongst the majority of the Daemons surfaced in what seemed to be the conduction of an orchestral performance.The Daemons all stood at attention, their guards raised to the maximum. The creatures' growls resonated through the air as they remained motionless, seemingly awaiting their master's command."Did you not hear me?" The Daemon questioned. "Normally, I wouldn't repeat myself, but since I'm feeling so ecstatic right now, I'll grant you all the privileges."«In the Proprietor's Office»"Can you believe this, my lord? How many centuries has it been?" Karen exclaimed, rhetorically."Ihann."The name of the Daemon was growled out by Owari, who was in disbelief at the moment."You prodigal bastard," he cursed, his anger disrupting the balance of the administrative center."Aeon-level Daemons have been dispatched to the battlefield to handle the threat and protect the target at this very moment," Karen assured him."I'm afraid that would prove

"Don't you hear their cries, buddy? What the hell's wrong with you?"Kai opened his eyes forcibly as he was welcomed into a dark abyss."Akira?" He called out, singling out the familiar voice. "Was that you, man?"He earnestly gazed around the deep shadow in the search of his friend, but to no avail."Something's off about you. Wanna tell us what's wrong?" Yua's voice echoed in the shadows."I don't know what's wrong with me, guys. I just… I'm just…""Scared?" Ash cut in, completing his words."Yes, yes I am scared," Kai resented.He sank into himself, cradling his head in his hands as if he was trying to physically contain his overwhelming thoughts. His elbows rested on his knees, and his body was hunched forward, as if the weight of the world was bearing down on him."But it's not wrong of me, is it? I wasn't built for this, you know? The fate of the populace lying in my hands, never would I have imagined." Kai yelled out, accepting his cowardice."You don't have to be scared, sweet

"Kota! Haku!" Owari called out.With an immediate effect, they answered his call making quick work of some monsters together."Now, boys. I need you two to do me a solid," Owari proposed. "With every strength you have left within you, I need you to guard Kai with your life. You seem like pretty decent bodyguards, and he could use your help fighting against Ihann.""But, why us?" Kota asked. "Shouldn't Aeon-level Daemons be sent instead?""The hierarchy means nothing in the modern era. Besides, I see great potential in the future of the first and second years. Together, I believe you could stand up to any threat that may come your way; at least long enough till I come around. Now, run! Unite with all available comrades and protect the Chosen!" He ordered."Hai!" Haku growled. "Akane! I'll be back, okay? Protect everyone with everything in you, okay?""You can count on me, baby!" Akane assured, a team of Daemons circling her to gain strength.As she affirmed that she would keep her prom

'Now, where are you, Ihann?’ Owari thoughts questioned with malicious intent.The scene switched up to Kai’s point of view, as he got tossed around by Ihann, who seemed to savor every moment he had toying with his prey. The former wasn’t given a moment to take a breather as he got bitch-slapped into a pointed rock.Not removing his foot from the gas pedal, Ihann landed a devastating roundhouse with a jump switch kick the moment Kai bounced off of the twenty-meter thick rock and smashed his head right through it, enjoying the onslaught.“Come on, kid! Show me what you got!” Ihann rallied his opponent, face slamming him to the hard ground to finish off the combo.“Kid? You pretty much look my age,” Kai mocked, unlocking a deeper depth of rage in his adversary’s heart.Ihann attempted digging his fingers into Kai’s eyes, but the latter understood the assignment and caught his hand point blank.Enhancing the physical strength of his arms, he ripped off his arm and monkey flipped Ihann hig

The trio launched a relentless assault on Akuma, each one of them jumping him as they employed their unique techniques.Akuma effortlessly sidestepped their collective onslaughts, scoring few precise strikes on Chiko in the process.Akuma backed Chiko, seizing the opportunity to gaze and appreciate the beauty of the women that fought against him. "Hey, man. Could you do me a favor and let me have a moment with the ladies?" Akuma requested, his intentions dripping with malice."You're a sick individual, man," Chiko announced, launching a back fist that was quickly blocked by his adversary.Gaia fired a colossal, bullet-like rock, aiming to shatter the ribs of her opponent.With lightning reflexes, Akuma evaded the projectile by a hair's breadth. The distraction gave Chiko the opportunity to launch a sonic scream to stun him once again."Hina! Now!" Chiko cried out.Appearing right above Chiko, Hina temporarily stood mid air, charging up her technique with determination in an evident st
