The Main Course Of The Battle
[UNREVISION] PART 3: BEGAN FROM THE BLOOD
Killing is a heinous act.
But what about killing what's inside of us?
Does it make any difference? Or is it the same?
----------------------------
Kingdom of Ameytyst, standing on a remote island and divided into 5 regions distinguished for its function. The area of Ameytyst, was a royal property, used for military and castle purposes; crystal city, as the territory of the royal city center of Ameytyst; Obsidis, the center of the establishment of factories and industries; Carnerian, as the, Food resources from fruits and vegetables to rice; finally the Azurite area, where the gathering of sea-finder seekers.
"What a vast kingdom.... You've given me interesting information."
Seeji fired a seal bullet at his target. A Black Petals looking for treasure in the Azurite and Carnerian border lands. He was a forest explorer, and with a black hoseki he could control animals, such as making birds as his eyes, and wild animals as weapons.
"That treasure is nonsense. You've been deceived by the feeling of ambition."
"What is this power for, huh?!"
He raised his hand and controlled a group of forest bears to attack Seeji.
"......."
Seeji showed an angry face, then dodged the ferocious creature's attack while completing the sealing.
"I told you you've been tricked!!"
SEALS
"FUIN!!"
-------------------
TEPP TEPP
Heavy steps were also slow from a Blue petals, Seeji was pensive as he continued walking. By holding the blood on his hands because of the savage beast.
“How long... I walk?”
BRUUK
In the end Seeji decided to sit down and rest for a while while leaning against a large tree.
“At this time you are nearing danger, you should be careful..”.
'What does that say?'
Seeji saw that his hands were full of dried blood, but not a single wound was still open.
‘I didn't expect. Sometimes the owner of the black hoseki is not someone I can approach just like that, I have to disguise myself as a waiter or a companion of a rich merchant.
Seeji is more often disguised as a waiter or assistant. Moreover, he always slipped the word dish at the time of the fight.
“Without I realized.. I've got a nickname... Battle... Waiter.”
Someone who serves the fight...
Seeji raised his hand towards the sun. His hand that was originally covered in battle scars earlier had recovered by itself as long as he walked.
“Smooth face with unexpected talent - expect. How does he respond to whatever is in front of him.?”.
The quiet sound of the forest, made Seeji think.
“Is.... What I've been doing all this time wrong? Hoseki black...”.
SYUUTTS
Seeji was surprised by the rapid sound of the wind.
“!!”
DRRAAAC!
Something black and sharp attacked Seeji from behind. Seeji had dodged, and the thing had hollowed out the former tree of Seeji's sand earlier.
“What is it?”
Someone approached him with small steps.
“That guy.... did he come after me?”
Seeji directly used the level 2 dimension, that person entered into the dimension.
"Hosekinya... why does it look unclear?"
Seeji saw that person had an unusual black hoseki. The man was veiled and did not show his face. His eyes were covered with black cloth.
“What...?”
SYUUT!
The hooded man again attacked Seeji. Even though he used an eye patch, he was able to attack Seeji without any difficulty. He attacked Seeji with something like a dangerous root forming a black long tendril blade.
“You want my power?” The man started talking.
“I don't mean to have it, I intend to destroy it.”
"Energy is not something that is easily eliminated."
"What?"
“Observe – be careful, time goes on. And if you do not use it well then it will be in vain.”
“Who are you?”
“You can call me Kuroseki.”
“Kuroseki?”
“Yes. If you want to know, I am the container of the black hoseki that you have been sealing.”
“Container?”
“Hoseki black is different from other hoseki. Originally there was only one black hoseki. But the black hoseki breaks itself and splits into the bodies of others. Since they have split up, their strength will develop by itself.”
“Then, did you make the black hoseki split up and enter people?”
“The container forms the water that is in it right? You'll know soon enough, I'm just checking your strength.”
“Don't say much and let me seal you quietly.”
“Try.. if you can."
Seeji shot him directly with a seal point bullet. He did not resist and the bullet that Seeji was aiming at just vanished in front of Kuroseki.
"Huh? Why?!"
"Did you know? If that black hoseki you sealed was the soul of the people I killed before?”
“!!”
Seeji was surprised to hear that.
'That means.he's a killer.'
“When hoseki belongs to someone, and that person has killed another person with the power of his own hoseki, then the soul of the person he killed can be converted into another shareki.”
"What?!"
'That's what happened.. on-?'
Seeji looked at his hand. He recalled when his bloodied hand held a knife.
“What you do is meaningless!” Seeji denies.
“How about you? Does what you've been doing all this time mean anything?”
“!?”
“What about the person you have killed before?”
“What?! I don't-.!”
“Death comes because they have no other reason to live. Don't you understand?”
“You....!”
Seeji again tried to attack him with a knife.
“Well let's just stop this nonsense.”
JRAASH!
“Ap..”
“I call this black thing black scar, because you got a big cut from this thing right?”
Seeji doesn't realize he's been stabbed in the back by Kuroseki's black scar. He began to have trouble breathing and blood came out of his mouth.
“AKH!!”
“You think everything you do is not in vain? All right, keep looking for them.”
Kuroseki slams Seeji and releases his black scar.
'I think he ripped my lungs and some of my veins...'
“Uhk...!”
Fresh blood came out of Seeji's mouth. Kuroseki just smiled coldly and spoke calmly as well as sharply.
“We definitely meet again, Battle Waiter.” Kuroseki then disappeared.
“Sial..!”
BRUISES
Seeji fell down and began to feel blood flowing out of his wounds.
'I... will die here? No, I might faint and let my wounds heal on their own. But I'll bleed out if the wound is this big.’.
Seeji trembled and tried to get up, but he could not.
BRRUUK
’Basic suck! Move body! Shit!’
As his dimension was about to disappear, someone came to approach him. The man yells at her and tries to wake her up, but Seeji has no strength left to wake up.
“Hold!”
---------
There was silence in Seeji's hearing. Seeji felt nothing, drowning in his daydream until he realized he was in a strange place.
‘*Where am I?’
‘Onee - same..’.
‘Reeji.’
‘Onee - same*..!’
Seeji turned around and saw his sister locked up in a jewel.
‘*Reeji! What happened to you?!’
‘I... don't want.... Onee - same... injured...’.
‘I'll get you out soon*!’
KRRAAA
‘*Onee.same..’.
‘Reej*..’
YOOOOOO!
The jewel that locked Reeji cracked and broke. Reeji disappeared with the jewel.
“What.... what's... hh....”.
SRRIIISING
Seeji almost lost his emotions, the power of the blue gem overflowed and when it was almost out of control he woke up.
“!!”
Seeji gasps - puffing. He realized it was just a dream.
“It...”.
“You're aware?”
Seeji realized he was in bed. The one who saved him was the one who approached him earlier. And now he's sitting next to Seeji's bed.
“You...”.
“My name is Takai, is there a problem?”
“You who... saved me?”
“Yes, I brought you here. Instead of thanking you you forgot the man who saved you.”
“Why did you save me?”
“?”
’Don't save me! Let me get killed, it deserves me as a person..’.
“What's wrong with me helping a dying man lying in the woods?”
“Ah?”
“No ‘kan..”
“True.... are you?”
"I was just collecting firewood, and suddenly, I saw you lying in the middle of the forest. How could someone I let unconscious in the middle of the forest with a savage beast who could eat it at any time? Right?"
Seeji. He finally realized that someone had saved him.
“Hey, you're still half conscious huh?”
“Ehm, then, teri. ma.. ka.” Seiji looked surprised. Seeji realized his clothes were different from before.
“Hm? What's up?”
“Not you...?” Seeji looked at Takai suspiciously. He seemed to be thinking of something strange.
“Do not think strangely - strange! Take it easy, the one who treats you is my mother, not me, if I am the one who treats you why? You've never heard of a male doctor?”
“I doubt you can treat others.”
“You underestimated me! Thank you for saving your life!”
After that Takai's mother came, she then checked on Seeji.
“Thank God Takai came to save you. Otherwise, you would have run out of blood.
Takai's mother leaves after checking on Seeji.
“Hmmh..” Takai noticed Seeji's eyes .
“What's with your gaze?”
“No, it's just your eyes..”
‘My eyes.... What's wrong with my eyes..?’.
“S.. such as.. gem.”
JTAAK!
“Don't tease me like that." Seeji.
“What's wrong with praising?! And you hit me!” Takai looks upset.
“Actually that's not what I want to ask.”
Takai asks Seeji about the strange atmosphere when he is near Seeji which is actually dimension. While being in the level 2 dimension the atmosphere became different from the original and the person who did not have the gems disappeared. Takai.
“You... saw it?” Sure Seeji was surprised.
“I thought you had something to do with it! Please explain!”
‘Is he an ordinary person who comes into my dimension? But I think it's impossible because there's never been an ordinary person who entered the dimension.’.
“You heard no? Hey!”
‘Will he be one of the owners of black hoseki shards? But there's no way the owner of the black hoseki shards can help me if it's going after my life like Kuroseki.
“Hei? You okay?”
Takai waved his hand at the dreamy Seeji. Seeji looked at him, then replied to Takai.
“Like...this?”
SRRIIISING
Seeji shows his dimension to Takai and makes takai enter the level 2 dimension.
“This...!”
SYUUTS
Seeji directly pointed his gun at Takai.
“You! What are you..”.
THE DHOOOR!
Seeji then shot him. But something like a protector protects Takai, it's red.
“I.. the.”
It turns out that Takai is not the owner of the black hoseki shards, but rather the owner of the red hoseki.
“It turns out like that. I understand.”
Takai was surprised to see the bullet he had avoided was in his hand without the slightest injury. There was a red light protecting his hands.
“What...?”
“Of course you can enter into my level 2 dimension, because you have a gem.”
“Memata..?”
“You are the owner of red gem.”
Seeji showed his blue gem to takai. Takai who still does not know anything is certainly surprised to see a blue hoseki shining on Seeji's hand with a shape like a beautiful flower petals.
’*Hoseki has a rainbow-like color, they follow where the black hoseki go, and there are only a few of them that will last a period.’
'That's what the book says. The book that helped me control my abilities, the book I found along with the basement. The black hoseki travels through time and comes in the present, and the colored hoseki follow the passing of the black hoseki.
'And that means, the owner of colored hoseki like me is not just me, because it is explained there are 7 colors like rainbows in hoseki.
'But not necessarily all the hoseki will arrive at the current period, the period in which the blue hoseki is the sealer*.'
“It...”.
“Release your application.”
“What!? I.no..”
“Haah, you are this..”.
Seeji pulled Takai's hand and touched it.
'His hands are a bit rough, it seems that he is no stranger to heavy equipment.'
Seeji then channeled a little of his power.
“Hh.... hh Seeji breathed slowly.
SRIIIEING
Takai felt very calm when Seeji's power was in his hands. Somehow he kept looking at Seeji as the light began to spin in his hand. A red jewel came out of his hand.
“It....what is this..?”
“Hoseki. This is why you were able to enter my lens and survive my bullet.”
“Dimensions? You mean... this strange atmosphere ..?”
“The location did not move, but now our place is different from where your mother is now. This power must have been on you for a long time. But you never realized it?”
“Eh?”
“Usually hoseki will be active at a certain time.You really don't know anything about the power of this legend?”
“I..”
DEGH
“Kh.!”
Something terrible was implied in his mind, Takai instantly clenched his hands and Hoseki disappeared.
“How do you control it?” Takai asked Seeji.
“Learn by yourself.”
"Can't be!”
“Indeed like that.”
Takai was silent for a moment.
“What I.... can trust you.?”
Seeji glanced at Takai who seemed to still not believe what was in his hand earlier.
“What's the problem?”
“This power....what can I use it to.. prevent others from getting hurt..”.
“What are you talking about?”
“What are you doing with this power? You're not using it for anything bad, are you?”
Seeji was rather surprised to hear Takai's words. Remembering he had just talked about death with Kuroseki.
'You want to be a target, or look for a target?'
Recalling a sentence in his mind, Seeji turned his gaze away from Takai.
“I just don't want another power that worse affects a lot of people. I tried to stop it as I could, with this power.”
Seeji then looked at Takai with his special gaze.
“What is enough?”
Hearing Seeji's reply, Takai took a rather loud breath.
“Then..”.
Takai then bowed.
“My fingers!”
Seeji was surprised to see Takai arrive - suddenly lowered his head.
“I don't want this power to hurt anyone else, at least... I can use and control it...”.
Seeji was silent for a moment.
‘*He...
'Red Hoseki has never been used before but*...'
Seeji then gives a book about his gem to Takai.
BRUUG!
“Egh, book...what is this!? Weight!”
“I learned through the book. Pour your power into the book by imagining it. Study until I'm healed.” Seeji then went back to lying down.
“Hei! Wait up! Isn't this book too thick! And you haven't told me your name.” Takai was surprised to see Seeji was already asleep.
“Word girl.”
SRAAAC
'*Is he really the Red Petals?
'Is he going to take Hoseki for granted?
'A person who has been chosen by colored hoseki to continue his fight with black hoseki. Destined as petals, fighters with hoseki powers in legend*....
'Is that our goal as chosen petals? But why?'
Seeji thought about many things during his sleep. And when Seeji woke up, Seeji saw Takai sleeping next to his bed.
“Hei.”
“Oh... You're up..”.
“You've studied the book?”
“Eh, the.. ng..”.
Takai did open the book, but he actually just flipped through each sheet. Takai had not channeled his power into the book either.
“Yet?”
“Yah actually hasn't..”
“I told you to read it, not fall asleep on it.”
“Yah, whatever... Eh? It's dinnertime?!”
“Eat night?”
“Yes... Come eat with us, you must definitely eat right.”.
Seeji was somewhat astonished by Takai's invitation.
’*When did I last eat..?’
’I don't remember because I only improved my hosekuk ability even without food intake*..’.
They then went into the kitchen where Takai's mother was waiting at the dinner table.
“How are you doing?”
“Lumayan... but I still can't move much..”.
Takai led Seeji towards the dining table.
“You will not regret eating with us, my mother's cooking is the most delicious!”
“Takai, you should eat soon also”
"Ah, okay.. Ittadakimasu!”
“Ng... ittadaki... masu Seeji started eating.
“How?”
“This...very delicious..”.
“Mainly onigiri!”
“Takai, accept..”
“Oh yes, I don't know your name yet. What's your name?” His mother cut off Seeji's conversation.
“A... i..” Seeji was a bit doubtful.
“Hm?”
‘*I'm known by the nickname Battle Waiter...
'No, I don't have to worry about that.. I*...’.
“I... Seeji Utsuki.
“Hm, language uptake outside?”
“Really?”
“Sage, you know?”
“O..oh..”
“Then Seeji, beside you is my son, Takai Akari and I am his mother.”
“Ng... greetings... ken....”.
“You must be nervous in front of this cool guy right?”
Seeji looked at Takai.
“Eh... yes..”.
“Salam. Akari.”
“No, just call me Takai.”
“Takai..”.
“Takai, don't make it awkward so..” Takai's mother reprimanded.
“Eh, I'll just be normal.”.
Takai took soy sauce. But what he took was the wasabi soy sauce.
“In addition I rarely see a girl like her.”
Takai subconsciously poured it too much.
HAP
“Bwaaah! It's spicy!! Water!!!”
“Takai, you are so careless..”.
“Mother! Don't laugh at me!”
“Seeji, please bring water next to you.”
Seeji poured it into a glass.
“This.”
“Give!”
Takai drank it quickly until his last gulp.
“Pedes... banget..”.
“What you take is spicy seasoning, not sweet soy sauce... hahahaha..”.
“Mother! Don't embarrass me in front of others.”.
Seeji smiled little looking at them. She felt something different when she was eating with Takai and her mother instead of eating alone like she used to do in her room.
'Yes... I used to be alone... And after all this time I was alone?'
-------
“Takai, it was fun once.”
“Hm? It was just dinner, right?”
“I've never felt anything like it before.”
Seeji smiled calmly as he looked out the window. Takai subconsciously looked at him.
“Hey, you daydream.”
“Ap-what!?” Takai was surprised Seeji dropped his gaze.
“You want to practice? It's better tomorrow morning.”
“B-good then.”
“What's with your style?”
“Nothing - what! Good night!”
Takai closed Seeji's nursery door. Seeji was still silent looking at the bright moon in the night sky.
------
DRAP!
“MOTHER! someone needs help!”
Takai then takes Seeji to the emergency operating room.
“Hh..hah..
Takai still felt weak. Seeji's blood is still in his hands. His hands shook violently.
“T... tou.. san..”.
‘Takai... you...’.
Takai imagined the figure of his father who was unknowingly killed in front of him.
‘No!’
SRIING
‘Eh? Blue light? This light always appears in my dreams..Where did you come from?’.
SRIYING!
Takai saw Seeji's shadow. The blue light grew brighter and he then felt a red hoseki on his body.
“Can I use this power?”
“Hey you...”.
“Huh..?”
“Hey, wake! You said you wanted to practice!”
“!!”
Takai was surprised to see Seeji who woke him up.
‘Dreams?’
“Takai?”
”Hey you! Don't go into people's rooms!”
“I asked your mother for permission. You better hurry.”
Seeji and Takai decide to train in Takai's backyard. The backyard of his house is quite a large forest.
"Your clinic is quite secluded from the crowd..."
"Ehm yeah.. that's...."
"Here you go, let's start."
Seeji was still unable to move freely. So he just sat down and watched takai.
“Alright.. first I will teach you how to channel power to an object.”.
Seeji gave a book about his gem to Takai.
“Salkurkan. Who knew there would be a description of your power appearing in that book.”
“What book is this? This is no ordinary book, right?!”
“Alright, call it a jewel’s book, you just need to channel your power to the book and there is a possibility of an explanation of your ability to appear there.”
“Eh? Je...je..what?”
“Already, no need to ask a lot, do."
“What... can I do it?” Takai was doubtful.
“Please.”
“But..”.
“Do! How many times do I have to say it?!” Seeji forced Takai to do so.
Takai began to concentrate while closing his eyes. A few minutes later.....
Nothing happened.
“Akh! I can't do it!”
“Try on, if you doubt you won't.”
“Hah....hmmmhh..............” Takai tried to do it again.
"No need to sound like that."
“Akh! Why is it so hard!” Takai dropped himself to the ground.
Seeji then tried to throw Takai with a small stone.
TUKKS
“Stand up or.. I'll shoot you."
Takai was surprised to see Seeji looking at him like a demon with a smile humbling him.
“Tiba - arrived the demon rampaging during the day.”.
“What..?”
“Eehh! Yep! yes!”
Takai then stood up and continued his training. Seeji continuously threw him with a small stone.
“Stop throwing stones at me!”
“But you don't feel pain, do you? Because your protector was”
“But it interrupts my concentration tau!”
BRAAKKS
Takai dropped the book. Suddenly the book shines white, and after seeing it turns out the contents increase with some explanation about the gem of Takai.
"Eyeh??"
“I told you you could. Continue to next exercise.”
“I didn't know it turned out to be so easy!”
“So much as you say.”
Next Seeji teaches Takai to break his power. Seeji took two glasses of water and gave a glass to Takai.
“What is this for?”
“I don't think this is complicated. Look, I'll give you an example"
Seeji channeled his power into the glass and threw it away so that the water in the glass flowed out. Takai was amazed to see it.
"Hoseki has a sensitivity to water."
“Waah...you control the water... Let me try it!”.
“You better use a plastic cup first, I don't want broken glass scattered where.”
Takai tried it but what happened was even the glass that was thrown.
SYYUTS
“EH?!”
“I told you, right? Fight, I'll read the book you just dropped.”
Takai has tried so many times, but the results have failed. The glass was thrown in various directions until it almost hit Seeji.
“Alright, to be honest this is not easy.”
“If you hit me with that glass.” Seeji's sinister gaze with a sinister aura watched Takai.
“Ba... well, I'll be careful..”.
Suddenly, Takai's mother came. He said Seeji had to re-examine his condition.
“Alright, we rest first.”
Takai's mother then re-treats the scar on Seeji's back.
“So, how can you get hurt like this?”
“Eh?”
“At least let me know why..”.
“Only... accident..”.
“You must be hiding something, no need to hesitate to talk about it.”
“Alright, it actually has something to do with Takai.”
“You know something?”
“Takai is the owner of red gems. Red petals”
“Hoseki?”
“You know about it?”
“I've heard of it.... so it's real?”
“Takai has two gems, that means he once killed someone, right?” Seeji remembered the words of Kuroseki at that time.
“When hoseki belongs to someone, and that person has killed another person with the power of his own hoseki, then the soul of the person he killed can be converted into another shareki.”
BRACKET!
“How do you know!” Takai who was different room with him arrived - arrived in and shouted.
“It seems you are also curious.” Seeji showed his cynical smile to Takai.
Seeji then told me a few things about the Hoseki fight, and some of the events that he experienced.
“Without me realizing, strange black petals attacked me and.. this is how it became....”.
“Takai..”.
Takai's mother calls Takai who looks anxious. Seeji is like unraveling his secret.
“I'm sorry mom takai, I don't want you to remember about the incident. so mom always covers it..”.
"Mother.. already knows yes..."
"Mom knows that's not what you want, Takai...."
His mother had learned that Takai had killed someone when seven-year-old Takai injured his mother's hand, causing a considerable scar. At the age of fourteen Takai accidentally killed his father.
“I never intended to do that..” Takai looks fucked.
“I also have 2 gems, besides I do not know my parents. There's a chance I killed them.”
“You! Don't you ever feel guilty about what you did! If you really killed your parents, don't you feel sad! They're your parents you know!”
Takai gets angry and holds the collar of a shirt. Takai involuntarily let out a red aura from his gem.
“Takai..” Her mother tries to stop her, but Seeji forbids her.
“Therefore, you better control your emotions so that no one gets hurt!”
Seeji pushes and drops Takai. Takai was surprised to see Seeji give such a serious expression.
“Tell me what you know.”
Takai then told me everything. His father was the owner of the largest hospital in the center of Kristal. Takai doesn't really remember how to kill his father.
All he remembered, he saw blood splattered on his hands and his father who was in front of him covered in blood. It traumatized her and scared her with blood.
The hospital eventually lost its owner and was sold. His mother set up a clinic far from the city center and was in a village between the Carnerian and Azurite dareah where they live today. He did not want to talk about his father's death. Takai later continued his education at a small academy in Carnerian. Takai doesn't communicate so much even though he's a smart kid. He blocked his gaze by deliberately extending his front hair. He doesn't remember who his friends or anyone else knew him. He barely wants to leave the house.
Takai almost cried from recalling his worst case.
“Kh...”.
“Sorry, but I can't believe you can lock yourself up just because of that.”
“What?!”
“You should be happy, you still have a mother, you can still go to school and make friends. All I see is what I read behind every book. Of course I don't know what it's like to have a father or a mother or a real friend.”
“You..”.
“In addition you have the freedom to see the outside world. The world is vast, don't you intend to go out and study it one by one?”
“You definitely don't understand! For years I have pondered my fate and been trapped in it! What wrong? Why is this happening to me? Why should I kill the person I love the most?” Takai started to speak indistinctly.
“Takai..” His mother began to worry
“Why should it be like this..whoever please explain to me. Why is this power on me and makes me hurt others..”.
“Takai, never mind,” Her mother tried to get close but Seeji prevented her.
'Her race he was afraid of his own strength....'
“WHY! WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO BE COVERED IN BLOOD!? WHY IS EVERYTHING RED!? WH WHY!? SOMEONE HELP ME!”
Takai's aura began to change, as if he was able to finish off anyone. Her eyes turned red along with her increasingly lit hair color.
SYUUTTS
Suddenly Seeji was behind Takai, he used his teleporting ability. Seeji then patted Takai on the back and suddenly Takai realized what he was doing.
“I..”
“You waste your tears on unnecessary things. If you're a man you should be stronger than me.”
Seeji then went out and returned to the backyard.
‘I thought... That exercise will help you. That power has made you hurt others.... When you use it, do you always remember the bad stuff?
'And again..your host who has great power with 2 jewels is restrained because of your emotions... who can not accept it.. becomes uncontrollable.’.
Seeji thought about what happened to Takai.
'Am I wrong to awaken his ability?'
Takai then remembered his father.
‘*Listen, Takai! you have to be someone who can help others! Don't waste your tears because the tears of a real man will come when he has fought as hard as he can!’
‘Daddy, if you talk too much, that fish bait will run out!’
‘It has nothing to do Takai Akari!’
‘But I think I was right, look at dad's fishing rod!’
‘Ah, you are right... ahahahaha*!!’
“That time... when we were fishing in the sea..”.
"Wear it..."
His mother approached him, Takai immediately hugged his mother tightly.
"I'm sorry.I'm sorry.mom..."
"You don't have to apologize. Everything has to happen..."
"If I do have the ability because of this gem.... What am I supposed to do?"
BRRRAAAK!
“!!”
They heard a voice from the backyard, where Seeji had left earlier.
"Mother...! Wait... This is dimension?!"
Takai's mother disappears, when Takai realizes, Seeji has made a dimension.
Takai then rushed out and saw Seeji was already dealing with someone.
“What do you want from me?”
Seeji began to ask the person who attacked him.
“I should have asked you that, you want this power don't you?!”
“I told you I just wanted to exterminate it!”
Seeji shot the guy with his gun. But the bullet missed, the man blocked the bullet with the wood he had brought before.
“I was expecting.. wooden rod..."
That person was a lumberjack who had a black share of hoseki. Seeji was harmed because around him many trees that became one of the expertise of the person.
‘I can't bring it to my level 1 dimension, I don't have enough power. Attacking him would be difficult... Lukaku has not recovered properly..’.
Seeji simply fended off and dodged the person's attack. Takai tries to approach her, but Seeji forbids her.
“Seeji!”
“Stupid! Don't come! You're gonna get hurt!”
“!!”
Takai suddenly remembered his past when he heard the words Seeji similar to what his father said.
-------------
"Dad...! Uh...?"
As he was about to knock on the door, Takai came to a halt due to the sound of a stranger in his father's room.
"Your son is the owner of Hoseki in the legends! He has many advantages, we can use him to search for the hidden treasure of this island land!"
"What's? Hoseki's owner in the legend?" Takai asked about the conversation in the room.
"Are you crazy? These two legends are not real! Now is the time for technological development, and not the time to look for things that are not necessarily like that!!"
"I've been watching him for a long time, and the sign that Takai is the owner of the hoseki is obvious! No child can survive the harsh training I've created other than him!"
"Eh... What..?"
"What?! What did you do to my son?!"
"Takai can dispel a toya attack with a sharp knife without the slightest blister.... And the one thing that was most obvious was that when I dropped him into a hot fire, he didn't get the slightest burn!"
"So, all that..."
"We can use him for dangerous experiments!"
BRRRAAK!
"Dad!!"
Takai finally entered his father's room, and at that time his father had been attacked by the person he was talking to earlier.
"Are you...?!"
"Stupid! Don't come! You're gonna get hurt!!"
The man then took off the injection he used to attack his father Takai earlier, then headed towards Takai.
"A chance!"
The shot went through his left chest, his father Takai was unable to stop him because of the injection from the man that caused him pain.
"Look at his abilities!"
As with his father, Takai felt his body start to ache, as if it had been pierced by thousands of needles from inside. The person thought Takai would eliminate the influence of the medicine with his ability, but his guess was wrong. Takai became uncontrollable.
"YAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
The power of the red hoseki overflowed - overflowing, his hair and eyes turned a fiery red color. A strong gust of wind came from the red-colored light and blew away all the objects in the room.
"It's amazing, isn't it!! He is an owner...!"
The man was excited by his actions, as he was about to approach Takai, the red hoseki activated and pushed him through the glass. He fell from the 3rd floor of the hospital.
"Wear..hold on!"
His father tried to stop the hoseki by calling his name, but Takai had lost his consciousness and destroyed anything in front of him. But his father did not give up and tried to resuscitate him with a punch.
"Wear it!!"
JRRAASH!
His punch touched the back of Takai's neck, as Takai first pierced through his chest with his punch filled with red hoseki energy.
"Hhh... Ta... kai...."
"!!!"
The small touch made him conscious, but when Takai opened his eyes, blood spots filled his father's entire body in front of him.
"You...."
His father said something, but Takai did not notice because he felt his father's blood flowing in his hand.
SRRAATS
When Takai pulled and looked at his hand, it only looked blood red and the death of his father by his own hand.
His screams then filled the room full of blood.
-----------
“I...remember..”.
Takai tries to get close to Seeji. But she remembered her trauma again.
DEGGS
‘I... can't let Seeji fight alone..’.
BRRRAAAK!
“Ahk!!”
The man hits Seeji right in his scar until Seeji falls. Seeji was in pain and the man tried to stick his pointed wooden spear at Seeji. Seeji was off guard, he could not dodge.
“S... shit! Hh..”
‘I do not want... the incident repeated again.’.
“Do not think you can take this incredible power at will.
“You don't understand! H..hh... that power is dangerous!”
“I don't care! DIE YOU! BATTLE WAITER!!”
DAKK!
Takai held the pointy wood with his hands.
“Takai..”.
“AWAY FROM HIM OLD GRANDPA!”
Takai snatched his wooden weapon and pushed the person far enough away, Takai continued to attack him with relentless punches and kicks, coupled with swinging the wooden weapon at him.
"No way! Who is this guy?!"
When the man is off guard Takai is ready to deliver his final attack, Seeji stops him.
“Already... Taki."
“!!”
SRIINGO!
The seal circle successfully tied the black petals.
“What?!”
“When I fell down earlier, I slashed my knife to give the seal point. You didn't realize it?”
“Damn you!!”
Seeji then sealed the person with his fuin abilities.
“Man who wants power.....Separate!”
SEALS
“FUIN!”
SRIIIIEVING!
Hoseki black and then sealed. Seeji immediately sat down limp.
“Seeji!”
Takai immediately restrained Seeji's body.
“True - true...”.
“You shouldn't force yourself like that!”
“But you know what you're capable of, right?”
“Eh?”
“You didn't notice it? The one just now.”
“So, earlier it was..”
“Your melee fighting ability is good too.”
"....."
Takai then brings Seeji into the house. Seeji's dimension disappears, Takai's mother immediately takes care of Seeji in the nursery.
--------------
“Seeji, I still can't believe..How can you control your power?"
Takai asked Seeji who was now sitting on the bed drinking the warm water that Takai gave him.
Seeji was silent for a moment, and he answered briefly.
“Read.”
“.....”
“How else, What should I experience, should I live..."
“Ano... Seeji..”.
Takai retells his recent past that he just remembered.
“So...so..”.
“A.... i..”.
"You sure you never realized your abilities before? It should be when you're pretty hoseki and that ability has appeared..."
"I have always felt.. I have an advantage, but. I may not want to know and realize it... I didn't expect him to protect me from every attack in my hard martial arts training just yet..."
"Self hard?"
"Previously, someone taught me martial arts, because he often saw me being ganged up outside the school gates, even though I didn't feel pain with it. He was a little pushy, and I accepted it without a second thought. His training doesn't play, but I enjoy it...."
"Then, what happened to him?"
"It turns out, he was just using me."
"What?"
"He who apparently tried to use me, made me his weapon, because he knew I had this gem. And it turns out that I remember him injecting me with the drug, until I got out of control and..."
Seeji was speechless hearing Takai's explanation.
'You are nothing more than the source of my power! Then you better submit and obey me!!'
A sentence was implied in Seeji's mind. Seeji immediately threw him out of his mind far away.
"Sad..!"
"What's wrong?"
"Actually you have become strong after the death of your father, Takai. But maybe you misinterpreted it."
Takai fell silent at Seeji's opinion.
'Takai... you must be stronger than this....'
He smiled, remembering his father's last words that he had forgotten.
"In the end you made me remember it again, even something I shouldn't forget."
Seeji was stunned, then asked her again.
“Takai, can you still continue training?”
“What do you mean.?”
“That power.... You want to control it? Even though you've hurt others with that power?”
Takai paused for a moment, then replied confidently.
“Of course! I have to use this power to protect others, there must be something I can do with my hoseki! Like he said, I have to get stronger!”
“Protect?”
“Yes, like that. How can I have it without using it? There would be no point.. You said I was chosen to have this right?“
'*Takai.. this hoseki...
'To be honest, I still don't understand...
'Ah, never mind, at least he has the resolve*...'
'Hm... thankfully you are a strong person.” Seeji smiled silently.
“Seeji.”
"I used hoseki... to seal the hoseki..."
"I understand black hoseki is dangerous, you're even hurt-"
"The story is. I may understand it..."
"Key?"
"You were taken advantage of. and then you were abandoned. and even scarred..."
Seeji's way of talking is slow.
"I didn't know what to do then. I could just stand up. and do nothing..."
"What are you saying, Seeji?"
Then then, I saw you who kept fighting even though your weapon had hurt yourself"
"Jee!"
Seeji lost his consciousness from exhaustion. Takai immediately fixed his position to fall asleep on the bed.
"How many.... have you experienced? Seeji? Because of your ability...."
------------
"Everything is just part of my weapon! You are just weak and useless creatures!"
He attacked me, even among the pools of blood he stepped on.
"No....no...!"
"Don't look at me like that! Answer me if you want to live! Come nearer! BATTLE WAITER!!"
That guy... He's not coming back, is he? He's dead, isn't he? Did I kill him?
Right now I'm with someone else... Who has the ability and the good heart...
Please, don't come back.
