Moonlight After Sunset's
[S2E52] New Power

"Birth again doesn't make you forget the past, it's just that it's better than before."

*******************#####********************

A faint blue light began to cover the previously lost blank passage. Like completing a long-lost puzzle. It feels so complete and perfect.

"Ah, I feel whole now,"

Dusk felt his vitality returning and his body health had already recovered perfectly. He feels fresh and comfortable every time he inhales the air around him.

Previously although not a big impact but every time he inhaled oxygen, he felt the dust was also inhaled together. But when it felt different, he felt comfortable and relieved.

"I see it," murmured Dusk as he looked at his meridian form that began to be neatly sewn together.

The Dusk Meridian is a disc-shaped with seven circles. The three inner circles had already recovered perfectly. No more empty holes adorning his sides.

"Died four more," said Dusk as he was about to stitch up the rest of his meridian circle. But when you want to sew the fourth circle somehow it feels very difficult.

Dusk felt which ball he saw became smaller and very difficult to control. The more Dusk pulls them, the more he feels pushed and away.

"Miss...!"

Dusk was slightly startled as he felt a gentle touch on his physical body. Dusk wanted to continue this training session but the voice grew louder and continued to disturb him.

"Huh,"

Slowly Dusk opened his eyes, just then he saw Vanilla flapping her wings on the face of Dusk.

"Vanilla," cried Dusk as he lifted Vanilla's body away from the side of his face.

"Finally miss woke up too" said Vanilla in relief.

"I've been waking up girls since, but you don't even move a little" Vanilla lamented as she showed the curling corners of her fur due to the repeated crab.

"Sorry, I was focused."

"Alright, Vanilla's sorry."

Dusk smiled comically as he looked at Vanilla's cheeks that were flushed with praise. He picked up Vanilla and went from the hill to the nearest river.

"What's wrong? Why did you wake me?" asked Dusk as he was about to rinse his face with river water.

"Miss hasn't had lunch yet, has she? It's time to be worried Vanilla."

"Hmmm...."

"If you think I've been in this place for a long time, if it's not wrong it's been half a day...."

Dusk fell into shock when he found out that he had been in this place for 48 hours in the real world. It meant that he had already spent two whole days in that basement.

"Damn, there will definitely be new rumors again." muttered Dusk who now felt his back cold because of the strange air as fierce as it came.

"Miss, are you okay?"

"I'm good, where's Kun?"

"Grandfather Kun's sleeping there."

"Gee...,"

Dusk can only shake his head with Kun's nature who continues to be relaxed and neglects his duties.

"The old man needs to be taught a lesson."

Dusk then went to meet Kun who was sleeping soundly under the apple tree. He looked so comfortable with the sunlight that was shining perfectly in the area.

"Your...!" call Dusk that makes Kun's feathers goosebumps.

"Damn, what else is this?"

Kun tried to ignore Dusk by pretending to be asleep but it was not Dusk if he did not know that Kun had woken up a while ago.

"Vanilla, what has Kun taught you?"

"Hmm.., not much. It's just controlling mana and making some protection techniques."

"Oh so it seems,"

Dusk stared back at Kun ferociously, he narrowed his eyes as he glared sharply at Kun who was currently starting to break out in cold sweat.

"Alright, I'll send you two to the guild to continue practicing and focus on growth."

"No, no we will train here." Kun exclaimed frantically.

"I think it would be better if it was done in the guild."

"No, a special guild for humans is not a saint beast like us."

"Hoo..."

Dusk knew what Kun meant but he was in no mood to obey him at all.

"Then?" ask Dusk with an unhappy face.

"I promise I will train Vanilla well in this place until he can reach the elite level in no time."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, Vanilla is a legendary saint beast just like me, why can't she become a genius any time soon."

"Alright, but if in the near future there is no change then.."

"No, there's always change."

"Well, you only have 4 months until the midterms arrive and if ..."

"Can't, 4 months is too little."

"..."

"One year, I'll make Vanilla an elite level in one year."

"Hmm, it is difficult to raise the level within four months. But a year from level three to elite was already amazingly fast."

"All right, one year. I'll wait for Vanilla's change in the next year."

Kun looked relieved while Vanilla could only see the two were confused. He doesn't know what a level and a level is so it's not a big deal for him.

"Well, wait you look better than before. Increase you..."

Kun began to investigate the state of Dusk, he saw the face of Dusk began to return to health and his vitality began to increase perfectly. It was only a moment ago that Dusk looked like an undead but now it looks like a newborn baby.

"really? Can you see my power level as well?"

"You, I'm sure your level has improved a lot but what seems to me is that you've only gone up one level."

"You mean?"

"I've seen your level come in fourth but now it's increased to fifth."

"Oh so, it turns out that this bracelet is able to cover half of my strength. It's amazing."

To be honest the twilight level did increase but not one level but two. It used to be that Dusk was at the initial level 6 and now that his Meridians were sewn together, he was already at the middle level 8.

"Now I can see what was once only white light." murmured Dusk when he saw which color nature now looks so clear.

No longer an irregular little sphere, this time Dusk saw mana more like an aura that enveloped almost the entire body of a living being.

For humans, where the body depends on the element and level. The higher the level, the more abundant the mana in his body.

While nature like animals, plants, and air looks like a protective shadow that envelops them like a shield.

"Strong yet unique."

After chatting for a long time about the mana and the various colors in this world, Dusk then decided to return to the dormitory. He had long since left the academy and it was time to return.

"As Kun explained, each individual has their own color." murmured Dusk when he saw Dian who was cleaning his room.

"Miss, I say retreat first." exclaimed Dian after the whole room was cleaned by him.

"Tumben once this kid left without saying much. I disappeared without warning, but it's too weird."

"Alright," replied the twilight indifferently.

"I'm happy to see Miss back to health as before" she exclaimed before the magic portal completely took her away.

Dusk just silently looked at Dian's sweet smile, he didn't know what to react to. It has been almost a week since he met his best friend.

"Surely something happened," murmured Dusk as he glanced at the outer area of his room window.
