The Reincarnation Room
Train Shana

Misaki City, the Mana River.

The condition of the Mana River suburb still looks green and beautiful. All the holes in the ground were no longer visible, as if the terrible fight that occurred last night had never happened.

The river had fully recovered, and not even a drop of water was wasted.

The large iron bridge connecting Misaki city's business district with residential areas has also been restored to its original form. His condition is no longer like yesterday.

All the chaos that was here had been completely restored without anyone knowing that this place had ever been destroyed.

In that peaceful place, stood a long black-haired teenage girl turned her back on the deserted path and faced towards the river. In his hand, he held Oodachi in his hand tightly and concentrated forward.

An extremely serious expression was imprinted on his dazzling face, as if he intended to attack at any moment.

From his body, emanated quite a powerful aura. With an aura like this, others would definitely not believe that this girl who was standing on the bank of the river alone still looked to be only 13-14 years old.

I don't know how long the girl had been standing in a slashing position. Until finally, the young girl lowered her Odachi and whispered, “It looks like I still can't control it.”

In that voice, recognition and unwillingness resounded with great clarity.

Shortly after, the pendant that the young girl was wearing let out a voice.

“Do not worry.” Alastor comforted Shana, "You have qualified to use my power. Sooner or later, you will be able to use my power freely. But, if you get too anxious, it will have the opposite effect."

Flame Haze who had contracted with the Crimson Lord was able to use the Power of Existence granted by the Crimson Lord within their bodies.

In Shana's body, the Crimson Lord is known as the Flame of Heaven and also a God. Arguably, the power that Shana received should have been very strong.

Unfortunately, Shana could not use it at all. Therefore, Hunter mocked Shana that she was very weak.

Even to carry out her mission as the Flame Haze, Shana needs the power of Nietono no Shana to control her strength. But of course the force that was successfully withdrawn was not Shana's full strength. This makes Shana always feel inferior.

Thinking of her defeat at the hands of Thousand Changes, Shana gritted her teeth and once again raised Nietono no Shana in her hands.

“Haah~” Alastor could only sigh at Shana who was like this.

Defeat from Sydonay apparently made Shana get a lot of blows. The young girl who had high self-esteem was unable to accept this failure.

“I can't fail! I cannot repeat the same failure twice!” shana said with a very strong determination.

“I must be able to use my strength, so that I will no longer lose against Thousand Changes.”

All these words really came from the bottom of Shana's heart.

However, a voice suddenly sounded from behind and interrupted Shana Shana's determination.

“Unfortunately, I am the one who will defeat Thousand Changes.”

Instantly, Shana instantly turned around violently and unsheathed the Odachi in her hand

Right behind Shana, Ryan had been standing there with one hand on his waist while smiling.

“Don't worry, I'm not Crimson Denizen. If it is them, you can definitely feel their existence despite their considerable distance.” replied Ryan casually. Nietono no Shana's blade was only a few millimeters from Ryan's neck.

‘How is it possible? Why couldn't I feel its existence? Although not Denizen, I should still be able to sense all the existence of living beings like humans!’ shana shouted in her heart.

Shana was eager to shout all that, but Shana chose to hold it back. He then coldly snorted and turned around. 

Without caring for Ryan behind her, Shana again raised Nietono no Shana in her hand towards the river.

At that moment, a pair of hands extended out from behind Shana. And with a posture like being hugged from behind, both of Ryan's hands held the handles of Nietono no Shana's odachi. 

Shortly after, Ryan's soft voice sounded right from above Shana's head.

"I know you're aware that you have no way of detecting my whereabouts." 

"But you dare to show me your back. I don't know if it's because you're too confident in your abilities, or you really believe me."

However, before Shana gave an answer, Ryan's voice sounded again.

"Continue concentrating! Follow the flow of energy I put out!"

Hearing Ryan's strict orders, Shana immediately concentrated.

Slowly, a grain of light began to appear in Ryan's hand that was still holding the handle of Nietono no Shana.

This is the energy called Prana.

Like shimmering star dust debris, Prana who came out began to cover both the palms of Shana and Nietono no Shana.

Ryan closed his eyes as he continued to hug Shana and said, "Although I am not a Flame Haze, but I have been trained to be able to control the energy in my body."

After successfully undergoing the Professional transition to Genestella, Ryan has Prana in his body. However, at first Ryan was also unable to control this power completely.

"In this case, your situation is somewhat similar to what happened to me before. You have power, but you can't use it well."

Ryan whispered, "So, feel it with the energy I sent. Use it to feel the power sleeping inside your body."

As the words fall, the extremely rich Prana begins to envelop Ryan's body and cover Shana. These extremely bright stars illuminated the area around the two of them.

'It's so warm …'

The starlight that enveloped her made Shana feel very warm. But behind this warmth, Shana also felt a sense of silence and loneliness.

This overwhelming feeling caused Shana to relax and close her own eyes involuntarily.

The enchanting prana was like a stream of water. From Ryan's hand, through Nietono no Shana, the Prana flow was flowing into Shana's hand. And through Shana's hand, the Prana continues to flow throughout the body.

Shana who was already in a relaxed and concentrated state, could easily feel the energy flowing in her body.

I don't know how much time has passed, Shana suddenly hears Ryan muttering. "I found him. This is your power, Shana. Try to feel yourself slowly, don't rush."

Hearing Ryan's instructions, Shana slowly begins to feel it. Under Ryan's energy traction, Shana felt a sleeping force in the deepest part of her body.

The power was like a burning red lotus flower.

Right now, Shana felt like she was going back in time.

In the past, on one of the daily exercises to become a Flame Haze at Tendoukyuu, there was a practice called bonfire.

In this exercise, Shana has to walk into the fire of Alastor. There, Shana must learn to feel the Aura, the power, and also the will of Alastor in the fire.

It was the type of exercise that Shana liked the most. Because of this exercise, it can give Shana a sort of Root that keeps Shana connected to the Power of Existence. This made him feel an indescribable pleasure.

And today, Shana felt like she was going back to those times. 

Only, this time Shana no longer remained silent in the fire with her body, but rather immersed her consciousness into her body.

Shana could feel that in her body was a red lotus fire that continued to burn fiercely and strongly, as if this fire could burn the entire world, even Gods.

'Is this the sleeping power inside my body?'

Shana inevitably fell asleep with this power.

'It turns out, from the very beginning, inside my body has a very strong power …'

With this attraction, Shana subconsciously began to approach the fiery red lotus flame and extended her hand.

However, just as Shana's hand was about to touch the fire, a sudden voice rang out in Shana's ear.

"What do you want most?"
