The Reincarnation Room
Hidan

Sensing Ryan's suspicion, Sherlock smiled. "That's great, it looks like you've realized the peculiarity of this Special Ability."

Shortly thereafter, Sherlock gave an explanation. "There are two problems with this Teleportation Special ability."

"First, this Special Ability was indeed Teleportation. However, I can only use it once in a day."

"If I can do it indefinitely, then I won't have to bother dodging your attacks."

"Secondly, this Special Ability is neither mine nor an IU member. I got it from something else."

Hearing this, Ryan was increasingly confused by Sherlock's attitude. 'Why did he tell the weakness of his Special Ability? Isn't this not in his favor?'

As if he could read Ryan's mind, Sherlock opened his mouth again. "I gave you an explanation about Teleportation because I wanted to show you something."

Sherlock then reached out to Ryan. On top of his palm, there was a red-colored bullet, as if there was fire inside.

"I call this bullet Hidan. These bullets were made from rare metals that could give their owners extremely powerful Special Abilities. The name of the metal is called Hihiirokane.”

Ryan had heard the name of this metal. Because in this world, the existence of this metal is known as a myth. But unexpectedly, the existence of this metal really exists.

Moreover, this metal could give its owner powerful Special Abilities.

"To be honest, compared to the Special Ability given by Hihiirokane, the Special Ability possessed by humans was like a child's play. The difference is like a nuclear bomb and a bullet."

"Like Hidan in my hands, if I can control the Special Ability he is given, then it is not a difficult thing to rule the world."

"I can live even now because Hihiirokane can keep me young."

"So then, you can stay alive for 150 years without aging one bit, it's all because of Hihiirokane." Ryan murmured.

Initially, Ryan thought Sherlock could live a long life because he had copied Vlad's genes, which are a long-lived species, into his own body. But it turned out to be wrong.    

Sherlock nodded his head at Ryan's murmur. "Unfortunately, using the power of Hihiirokane to extend life turned out to have a limit. According to my prediction, in the near future, I will die."

"Then, there are still many unsolved mysteries of Hihiirokane. Therefore, Her Majesty the Queen assigned me to research this metal. I call this research project 'Study of The Scarlet'."

"It's regrettable, towards the end of my life, I still haven't been able to finish this research."

Ryan finally understood what Sherlock was aiming for.

Although on the surface, Sherlock is a member of the Daio faction, but Sherlock has a different purpose to Daio.

Sherlock's goal is actually very clear. That is to make Aria his successor.

However, a replacement here is not a replacement as an IU leader.

Realizing this, Ryan said to Sherlock. "Do you want Aria to inherit your mission to complete the Hihiirokane research?"

"Frightly so." Sherlock smiled at Ryan.

"I want Hidan to belong to Aria, make her inherit my wish, and continue 'Study of The Scarlet'."

"So, from today, Aria is no longer 'Quadra Aria', but 'Aria the Scarlet Ammo'."

After which, Sherlock raised his head and looked towards the entrance. "According to my prediction, Aria should have almost arrived."

Just as Sherlock said it, Ryan could feel a rapid movement from the direction of the door.

Swoosh

From the direction of the door, Aria flew very quickly and stopped in the middle of the room while floating in the air.

At the back of the Aria, there is a jetpack with propellers and rocket boosters. This is the device that Aria carried in her hip bag.

As Aria looked down, Aria's eyes immediately rounded. “Kakek .. Buyut ..”

Seeing Sherlock face Ryan, Aria was completely dumbfounded in the air.

This was the first time Ryan had seen Aria like this.

Aria was truly like a person who had lost her soul. His face was filled with shock and also pale.

"Grandfather is the leader of IU?" Aria's voice sounded very trembling.

How not, the person Aria admires, turns out to be the leader of a criminal organization that has slandered and imprisoned her biological mother. How could Aria accept it?

In response, Sherlock smiled and looked at Aria's eyes with gentleness. “Finally we meet, Aria .. I have been waiting for the coming today.“

Aria descended slowly from the air as if her entire body was losing strength. At the same time, Shirayuki also charged in from outside.

"Ri-kun." Shirayuki glimpsed Aria with a complicated look. He looked at Ryan and looked like he was going to cry. 

“Sorry, I didn't know that Aria has a jetpack. Aria melted the ice on the door with fire from the jetpack and instantly fled out.”

“Quiet Shirayuki, don't panic. You've done your job well. The most important thing now, quickly take Aria out of here.” Ryan said gently.

However, Ryan's remarks were rejected outright by Sherlock. “You can't do it,” 

Sherlock shook his head and said, “My life is almost over, and I will have no other chance than today! You won't be able to get in my way!”

At the same time, from the bodies of Ryan and Shirayuki, came a white smoke that was quite hot. The smoke turns out to be Ryan and Shirayuki's body fluids evaporating.

“Ugh!” Ryan and Shirayuki both groaned in pain.

Shortly thereafter, Ryan was no longer able to support his body. Eventually he fell to the ground.

Shirayuki finally caught up with Ryan falling to the ground accompanied by white smoke that kept coming out from all over her body.

With his weak body, Ryan had a very hard time lifting his head. He then said in a hoarse voice, "Sherlock .. you …"

"Don't worry, Ryan-kun .. I won't take your life."

"But, that's just for now. So, I hope you can shut up and watch all this from there." Sherlock turned her gaze towards Aria, and slowly grasped Hidan in her hand.

“Requirements for inheriting Hidan are very complex. In addition to needing people who have high self-esteem and childish character, the person should also spend time with Hidan at least three years.”

"And Aria has fulfilled that first requirement. So, there's no doubt that the most suitable to inherit Hidan is Aria."

“Then, the second requirement is the most difficult. Because of Hidan's overwhelming power, many parties wanted him. In such conditions, letting Aria carry him for three years until Hihiirokane awakens, it is too difficult.”

"Therefore, until Hidan awakens in Aria, I must be able to protect Aria. But, at the same time, I have to be the carrier of Hidan for three years."

"Hidan I have only one, but I have to take Hidan for three years, and Aria also has to take Hidan for three years. It's very contradictory, isn't it?"

“However, Hidan can resolve this contradiction.” 

After saying all that, Sherlock's body again gave off a red glow.

Shiii

At the same time, Aria's body, which was experiencing a mind break, began to appear the same red light as Sherlock.

This condition finally made Aria aware. “This?! What happened?”

Ryan was equally surprised. ‘That dark red light .. isn't that Hidan light?’

‘But, how is it possible? Sherlock should not have left Hidan to Aria, but why would Aria have Hidan?’

In contrast to Ryan who was very surprised, Shirayuki seemed not surprised by all the mini. “So so, Aria is the heir of Hidan.”

From this, it was clear that Shirayuki had known of Hidan's existence from the very beginning.

In that case, Sherlock only glanced at Shirayuki with a deep look, then he looked towards Aria. 

In a soft tone, Sherlock said, "Don't worry, Aria .. This is just a resonance that comes when I trigger Hidan's power."

"Since Hidan is mine and yours is one and the same Hidan, then Hidan naturally resonates and releases the same power."

"But that's not enough."

Sherlock extended a finger towards Aria.

Shiiiing

The red radiance from Sherlock's body suddenly gathered and fused on his finger.

Wiiiing

Due to Hidan's resonance, the red light on Aria's body automatically gathered on her fingertips as well.

Seeing this phenomenon, Sherlock gave the command, "Aria, point that finger at me."

Aria shuddered, and subconsciously raised her hand, then pointed the finger with a red light at the tip of it towards Sherlock.

Blitz Blitz Blitz

Now, the red light on Sherlock and Aria's fingertips simultaneously began to tremble.

A few seconds later, as if they were most attractive to each other, the two red lights instantly shot forward.

Like meteors, the two dazzling red lights shot out rapidly and sinb collided violently.

However, the collision of the two lights did not produce any sound or explosion. In fact, the two lights mixed like water and slowly began to fuse together.

The two red lights finally turned into a mirror with a diameter of 2 meters.

The mirror floated between Sherlock and Aria.

The mirror suddenly revealed a picture of a young girl. The age of the girl was probably around 13-14 years old, so her stature looked relatively petite.

The girl had light yellow hair like gold, and blue eyes like jewels. She was seen wearing a summer halter dress.

Her long hair, tied in a twintail shape, made the girl look cute.

Looking at the sweetly smiling young girl, everyone there fell silent.

"W-how ... how is it possible?" Aria exclaimed loudly, "That's .. isn't that me?"

Although the hair color and eye color are completely different, but no doubt, the girl is Aria.

"Right, this was you three years ago." Sherlock looked at the red-furled mirror and began to show a hint of excitement in his voice. 

"Hidan has the power to traverse space and time. In other words, this mirror is a tunnel of space and time."
