Arafura S1 - Darker Than Black
S1 | Chapter I & Exit II | Moon Silver Color

Viena stood up while closing her eyes. His right hand he lifted up into the sky as if pulling something onto it. The air swirling around his body made his long gray hair very fierce.

Inside the glass prison cell appeared a blue colored flame. The fire was so bright that it defeated the light. The bodies of the non-dressed girls were completely enveloped by the flames without exception. It looked like it was burned to the ground, but after the fire had shrunk, a thin red suit and a black short skirt seemed to instantly replace the fire to cover the curves of the body.

"All is done. I hope the girls calm down." Viena prayed and honored their deaths. His gaze immediately turned to Mr. Gen with a sweet smile, "Hey, Thank you."

"For what?" Said Mr. Gen doesn't know anything.

"No. Forget." The reply then walked away from Mr. Gen.

"Hey."

Suddenly before long Viena stopped her steps back. He turned to face Mr. Gen.

"Can we talk for a second?" Ask Viena.

"Whatchu mean? We don't have much time."

Viena shook her head. His left hand pointed towards the large machine beside him. "No. Now we have plenty of time."

Mr. Gen turned to look at the machine. The fire that burns the machine as if it freezes does not mean it turns cold, the fire does not move like a stone. On top of the fire, the billowing mass of black smoke on the roof looked like an immovable cotton. Mr. Gen's gaze was shocked by that. He never found the scene as if it was dead from movement.

"What does this mean?" Ask Mr. Gen.

"In addition to the power of fire, I have the power of time. I can see your past and future clearly. Sometimes if I don't want to be seen, I can choose to stop it." Answer Viena.

"Whatchu mean? There can't be such power. Didn't your fire move?" Mr. Gen remains in disbelief.

"You mean this fire?"

Suddenly a blue fireball was present in his hand, it looked as turbulent as a hot star. The fireball seemed to float in the air and swirled in place as if it was locked in his hand.

"Everything I want will move, including you and this fire. If I remove her will, then—" Viena throws the blue fireball at Mr. Gen, but it doesn't hit her right. The ball stopped right near Mr. Gen's face. The heat seemed to dissipate, the movement of the fire was silent, only light remained. "—whatever it is, it cannot penetrate my strength."

Mr. Gen was silent. He just put on a surprised look at it. Surely Viena knew it, she immediately showed something even crazier.

"Try, can you move to the side?" Viena Say.

"To the side?"

"Come on, just move. Don't stand in that place."

Mr. Gen immediately obeyed his words, he stepped aside so that he was a little away from the fireball.

"Till here?"

"Yes! Now watch!"

Mr. Gen's forehead is wrinkled. "Hooked?"

At once Viena flicked her thumb with her middle finger. The moment also moves back to make the hot fire and the smoke puff of the engine moves back. At the same time, the blue fireball that was thrown by Viena continued to move quickly and hit the wall of the room.

No word from Mr. Gen. His eyes seemed to doubt the identity of humans in Viena. However, Mr. Gen already strongly acknowledged Viena's unparalleled strength, but it only further added to Mr. Gen's distrust of his captivity. How could anyone seem to be able to barely get killed inside the cell?

"How, have you believed?" He said while flicking his fingers, time stopped again.

"All right, I believe." Said Mr. Gen turning calm, "but there's something I want to ask you. Why would someone like you get caught when time is on your side?"

His face turned serious. "It's all because of Shin, one of Mr. Rom's subordinates. He's a dangerous man. He played me while fighting in the castle and paralyzed me with his eyes."

"His eye?"

"You know, Shin always wears a mask? I had him cornered once my consecutive explosions were unleashed. He was not injured at all, but his mask was slightly shattered. At that time, he might have been angry with me. The power of his eyes he activated so I was paralyzed. It's like a devil's eyeball! I felt like I was burned to the point of unconsciousness the moment I looked at him." Evidently.

Viena saw the look on Mr. Gen—'s face looked like it had turned upset. A black aura like a murderous demon shot out through his entire body. His hands clenched and his veins came out. The ordinary figure of Mr. Gen seemed to want to disappear changing monsters as if he really hated it.

"You've dealt with him too?" Ask Viena.

"He's the one who has forced me to come to the castle. I hate him so much, especially Mr. Rom the traitor. I'd love to beat him up!"

"Stop." Suddenly, Viena was terrified.

Mr. Gen was astonished. "What's all of a sudden?"

"No—you don't know—"

At once Viena seemed to display a stressful look. Both of his hands were holding his head with wide eyes. "The man is actually a demon. I don't want you to directly fight it. You could get killed for nothing." Viena.

"No! I'm serious! I can read your future, Mr Gen! Trust me."

Mr. Gen was speechless. His eyes stared intently at both of Viena's eyes. "Then explain why you think so."

"My reason is that liquid— colorful liquid that instantly evaporates as soon as it is exposed to air—Do you know what liquid it is?"

Mr. Gen shook his head.

"It's not a poison liquid—its name is Yakhir El Luminos or in short YEL—the liquid is like an empty container for a body that has power. When the liquid is inserted into the body, all the power will be sucked into it, even the body's energy is sucked!" Viena pointed to the glass prison cell, "they are all people like us, the girls who have power. Some were arrested a few months ago, some were just a few days, the point is they have all been caught and become victims."

"I still don't understand. You mean since before the Gakuin academy collapsed, that power is already there?" Mr. Gen doesn't know.

"There already is. I think all the students have it, they just haven't noticed, or maybe they haven't developed yet. The point is all have different times to really be able to master it."

"But—" Mr. Gen seemed to remain clueless, "i have been a member of the sausage ever since, but I have never heard the slightest news of a powerful disciple."

"Yes, because the person who has the power will soon be captured by them before the news spreads."

Mr. Gen was surprised. "What do you mean?"

"They have been doing this action since the beginning of— absorption of body strength until it runs out, until the owner is killed."

Eyes seem to be in disbelief. Mr. Gen didn't think Mr. Rom was that cruel, crueler than he thought.

"Why did they do it, Viena? Does Mr Rom just not like it? Is it just because he has interests? Explain to me!"

"You certainly know that, Mr. Gen. He has an interest in the body of the person who has the power."

"What interests?"

Viena looked at Mr. Gen's eyes very seriously. "They did it because they wanted all that power. When the liquid has mastered the body, they will absorb the liquid back until it runs out and then put the liquid into the injection. This is my guess, maybe Mr. Rom and his surroundings already have the equivalent of hundreds of people."

"Damn! They are used like tools. Not just harassing. Fuck them! Someday I will eradicate it from this academy!"

Viena smiled looking at the burning Mr. Gen. Suddenly he stepped closer to Mr. Gen until there was no distance left. Viena kissed her lips until she widened her eyes.

"A—What's—"

"I'm glad your intention is that. But I want us to give them time. Please calm down, Mr. Gen."

"B—Good."

The aura of Lord Gen began to weaken making him an ordinary human being. The urat in his hand began to not look back, only leaving his white skin that was not creepy.

Again, Viena smiled at him. Her face looks so sweet in Mr. Gen's eyes, it calms his eyes and soul.

"I want you back, sir."

At once Viena stepped back. Two fingers of his hand he flicked so that it let out a sound.

However, after that voice, Mr. Gen no longer heard and saw anything but pitch black was made unconscious.
