The Divine Core CH20: "FRESHMAN VS SOPHOMORE(7): DEFYING FATE(2)"
Within the deepest recesses of her mind, Hikari's feet trembled uncontrollably. Within the span of seconds, strategies flowed within her mind, thinking of possible routes to take to finally gain the upper hand, but couldn't find any.He was just that much of a formidable foe. A deluge of self-doubt washed over her as she questioned her own worth.Hikari felt like her opponent could see right through her, reading her every thought and emotion.'Every plan I think of has a counter. His abilities are too versatile,' she thought. 'There must be a way. Even if it's just a glitch in his technique, but, what is it?'She began to analyze. There must a way. Her thought process finally recognized the subtle but effective moment when Yami couldn't backfire her blizzard attack. This realization led to her breaking a smirk.'That's it! As powerful as the technique is, I believe his brain process has a limit to how many events he can react to at a time,' she theorized. 'Thus, I need to spam my tech
The Divine Core CH 21: "FRESHMAN VS SOPHOMORE(8): DEFYING FATE(3)"
In the most confident counter Hikari had witnessed in her lifetime, her most powerful attacks faded into the dark abyss of shadows, the sounds of impact lost to the night. The shadows continued to spread across the ground, like ink on a blank page, until the whole arena was consumed in darkness.The radius of the shadows spread until it reached the outer edges of her terrain, leaving Hikari in a world of darkness."Dark Echo," he christened his technique at its climax, floating in the air; basking in the glory of his creation.Behind him emerged a large dark blue coin that rotated infinitely to symbolize that even in the midst of Typhon's Wrath, the endless stream of every outcome of fate was in his hands.Hikari could not believe her eyes as her opponent was more than able to conjure the same technique upon the severe damage he had sustained.'Something's off about his Konkyuu,' she theorized. 'It's incomplete. It's as if he just laid the foundation of his technique rather than unlea
The Divine Core CH 22: "FRESHMAN VS SOPHOMORE(9): GAIA VS YOKO"
In the recovery center, Chiko appeared to have overcome the traumatic event. He concluded his conversation with Kai, who asked for forgiveness before wanting to update everyone on his current status."Hey, remember to take some mental rest too, okay?" Chiko requested."What do you mean? I'm feeling much better now," Kai assured him."I mean emotional rest, my friend. The intense waves of unease I sense from you are pretty strong. It's pretty much obvious. You don't need to worry about me anymore, alright?""Uh, yeah. You're right. Absolutely right. I guess I'm fretting for no reason," Kai chuckled awkwardly."Staying in bed doing nothing can get boring, right? How about joining the rest of the team in the audience seats to watch the rest of the tournament? We're missing out on the excitement.""True! Um, I'll catch up with you. Just need to freshen up a bit, okay?""Sure thing. See you soon." Chiko walked away with a visibly happier demeanor.In the hallway of the recovery center, Kai
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 Divine Core CH 26: "KISMET’S EMBRACE(2)"
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
The Divine Core CH27: "KISMET’S EMBRACE(3)"
"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
