After bidding farewell to Lin Fan, Soma spent his ti waiting inside the infirmary with his two mother-in-laws for his girlfriends to regain consciousness.
From the loud cheer and announcent from the Arena, it seed Lin Fan managed to gain victory in the match, and the remaining contestants that go toward the next stage, the semi-final stage, which will be conducted tomorrow, are four people.
Soma vs. Leon and Lin Fan vs. Senior male from the third year who seed to have so reputation in his back.
It is finally happening, the event that will leave everyone speechless. The mont when Leon awakened his full power as a savior.
The ti shifted, and the sky showed its orange haze, and the two girls finally regained consciousness.
"Where am I, kuh!".
Experience new tales on m v|l e'-
Hina, who opened her eyes first, asked before she frowned, clutching her temple. The overload seed still intact.
"Hina, you awake?".
Hisako, who sat beside her, abruptly stood up and checked her daughter's condition. Hina's face regained its cluster pink for a bit, and her eyes fully regained their light.
"Mom, how long did I passed out?".
"A couple of hours".
"I see".
Because of the commotion that had occurred, Serafina, who lay next to Hina, stirred. Her face contorted for a mont, and then her eyes fluttered open.
"This is?".
"Sera, my daughter".
Beatrice caressed her daughter's cheeks; worry painted her eyes while the four of them started chatting.
Soma walked in and approached the girls. He could see a trace of blood in the girls' uniforms, but it seed it was nothing serious.
He summoned two bottles of Mana potion and Stamina potion, which he collected from his first Trial dungeon, and gave each to the girls.
[High-grade mana potion had been consud]
[Restore the user mana 70%]
[High-grade Stamina potion had been consud]
[Restore the user stamina 80%]
Their bodies glowed, and the rosy cheeks on their face indicated that they were almost fully recovered.
"Thanks, Soma".
"Thank you".
Hina and Serafina said their thanks before they flipped away the white sheet covering their bodies and shifted their feet outside, leaving the bed.
At first, there was still a feeling of swaying from their vision, but gradually, it beca normal, and the girls talked to their mother about how healthy they were.
A deliberate knock echoed in the place, which garnered the attention of the people inside. The door creaked open and showed Violet, who seed worried about the condition inside, who still hadn't shown any symptoms of awakening.
However, the mont she saw her boss and Hina. Looking at their cheery conversation, the girls seed fine. Violet sighed in relief before opening her mouth to inform them.
"Everyone, would you like to continue this at ho? Looking at the ti".
"You are right".
Serafina, who realized that the day had turned to evening, was flustered as she instructed Violet.
"Prepare the car? Asked one of our people to pick us!".
"They are already waiting for us at the entrance gate, and the others are also waiting for us there."
"Okay, everyone lets go to our manor".
As ti passed, the family gathered around Serafina's manor with cheer and laughter, which ca from the adults' praise of the girls' performance today.
Hina and Serafina beco the main stars at the event, not forgetting Xiao Lian, who rarely shows her flustered side, stands proudly with the other two.
The girls, now alone, gather inside Serafina's private room. They wear pajamas, and their hair shines down under the cascading light of the moon from the window.
After enjoying a relaxing bath, the three of them decide to stay in Serafina's room, for they have sothing in common to discuss.
They sat across a soft cushioned seat, surrounding a round table filled with late-night snacks that Hina had gathered inside her storage.
"Gosh, today was pretty exhausting".
Serafina grumbled as she sipped a card box of chocolate milk in her hands, then took a pocky stick and bit into it.
"You are right, I still even feel groggy in my magic activation".
Hina calmly interjected, slowly sank her back toward the seat, and looked at her party mbers, who seed to enjoy the snacks.
Xiao Lian has puffed cheeks and keeps slurping vanilla milk before opening her mouth.
"Um, Senior?".
"Hm? What's the matter, Xiao Lian?".
"Mm, Your power, what exactly is that?".
Hina, who got her Spirit back, leaned her body forward as she enjoyed the strawberry milk in hand.
"Yeah, that, I am curious too. What is your power, true nature? Unlike Xiao Lian and who depend in manifestacion of Original Magic, But yours, seed a little bit odd, and powerful!".
"Well, how should I start? You guys rember when I received the Grimoire from Soma at that ti, right?".
Both girls nodded and listened intently to the topic of what Serafina found out after reading the book.
"Turns out, it was not a grimoire book that only contained high or advanced spells in it. But the true nature of that Grimoire is to connect yourself with nature. The source of the elent itself and Gain recognition by it to gain an unlimited source of nature power".
"Connect with the nature elent, is that, perhaps?".
Hina, who seeks knowledge and is obsessed with power, once subrged herself through reading books, whether it is history, fantasy, or Grimoire. She understands the aning of Serafina's words.
She once found a unique existence that claid to have beco a part of an ancient power that is forgotten today. It was never to be spoken of again until Serafina revealed it.
"...Unlimited Source of power".
Xiao Lian, still unaware of the terms, tilted her head to the side, which made Serafina chuckle, seeing her adorable side.
"Yeah, Hina. It seems you know it too. The power I gained from the book is how to contract a spirit, especially the spirit of Wind".
"I see. I understand it now".
"Spirit? Is that sothing that cos from a fairy tale?".
"Yeah it sure was, but after seeing Sera's power first hand. I am convinced".
In the book Hina once read said. In ancient tis, there was an entity called Spirit, which was borned to brings balance upon the world.
Lightning, as the hands of Creator God, reshaped the planet, and then the four main elents were born managing the planet they are living in now.
Each of them had its own purpose and consciousness to stabilize the planet, which they called the Spirit. The Fire Spirit was born as the core of the planet, the Water Spirit appeared as a massive body of water that cools the fire, the Wind Spirit brought an atmosphere and seasons, and the Earth Spirit created a solid foundation for living.
Creator God also created another miracle besides lightning: light and dark, which is considered to be a power that couldn't coexist. This miracle maintains the balance of the world and brings day and night to sustain the world cycle.
"Wait, from what Sera had told us, if there is wind spirit, is it possible?".
Hina, who had reached a conclusion, raised her head and glanced at her party mbers, who seed to be figuring out her aning.
"Yeah, I believe it is possible".
Serafina calmly nodded her head, which brought another hope for the other two.
"Mm, so, Water Spirit for and Fire Spirit for Hina".
"Yeah, with this we can beco much stronger than we are".
Silence descended upon the room as the girls heard what Serafina had said and imagined they succeeded in gaining recognition by nature itself.
Ti ticked, giving them a real sense of ti before Hina, who realized that she needed to do sothing if she wanted her dream to co true, leaned her back to the seat and sighed.
"Well, it was worth figuring it out. How about it, Xiao Lian?".
"Mm, it is worth a shot. If we can beco stronger than this then…".
"We can Support him from the side".
Serafina interjects and softens the atmosphere in the room. The girls cheerfully laugh together while curious about what the boy's doing right now.
*****
After the fulfilling dinner, Soma walked alone inside the deserted hallway, showing him the path that led toward the backyard.
In front of him stood a single door blocking his path to the outside. Slowly, he twisted the door handle and pulled inside the door. He was greeted by a chilly wind of autumn that seeped into his pores.
The breeze felt pleasant as it cooled off Soma's mind. He walked past the door, aware that soone had seen his action from far away, but he completely ignored it and went outside.
"This is good".
Standing in the middle of the not-too-wide field, Soma glanced upward only to see a full moon shining above, accompanied by countless blinking stars, watching the mortals below it with its ethereal feeling.
Unconsciously, his eyes closed, and Soma began to regulate his breathing into a slow and deep one and entered his own consciousness.
"The place had changed!".
His consciousness now turned completely bleak. The sky was dark, and only nine dots of constellations, two of which were shining with bright crimson light, were above him.
Beneath him, the familiar desolate land, cracked ground, and withered plants. A majestic tree in the middle of it, covered by red veins that seed to bulge showed its persistence in living despite the condition.
On its thick branch upward, a figure of a boy completely black with a crimson pair of eyes looked at Soma. Behind him, a pair of bat wings and a tail slowly floated before he reached the ground and smiled.
"Well, well well,. It's been a while hasn't it, Soma?".
"...Yeah, it's been a while, !".
