2024-10-29 19:42:56Days had passed, and with training after training but nothing changed. Sora could tell Z was getting frustrated with him from the amount of times she would put her hair in a ponytail and take it out within the time frame of their training sessions. She also did a thing with her energy when she was getting impatient, she would create the tiniest string of water from the air and twirl it around her fingers as she stood anxiously waiting for him to channel energy then she wound flick it across the room out of frustration before storming out of the training area.
They had tried several techniques, from breathing exercises to meditations to physical training, all to help jolt his energy from within but nothing changed. Sora himself was getting frustrated. Maybe he had imagined his energy but the images of Konan's lifeless body in the ground after his energy charge was still burned in his memory and was enough evidence to prove he had not imagined his energy.

She shook her head; "too slow dumbass."Then she sent another and then another. Sora was alert now and moved out of the way dodging the first charge but Z's second charge met him exactly where he stepped as though it knew where he'd land.""Stop being so predictable. Do something unexpected." Z yelled from across him.More hits followed and Sora was hit with more charges than he dodged."Will you hit me already you twart! I'm getting bored."It took a while for Sora to come to terms with the fact that he could use his powers too and he sent his first charge but Z deflected it with another charge."Even a Depender would hit better than that."Sora formed a bigger water force and shot it straight at Z. She simply formed an energy shield and blocked the hit."If you think size is matters, you are even dumber than I thoug

Sora's bruises had started to heal, but his body still ached all over and the blood clot in his eye remained thick. He still couldn't believe a woman as soft looking as Z could pack such heavy punches. Z stood at least three inches shorter than Sora did, with a slightly curvy, toned olive frame which came from years of training hard and staying active.Z was beautiful in every sense of the word, from her slim figure, to her mannerisms, to how she flicked her ginger hair with so much confidence and she used all her charm to her advantage. Her punches however, weren't beautiful on her victims. She had only punched him with her hands and he ached this much, he would probably need to visit the infirmary if she punched with energy.He stood in front of his mirror examining his bruises as he ran his hands over the purplish spots on his sides then entire torso. He noticed the muscles that had started to form around his arms and body. His body was s

Sora nodded "okay.""Are you angry?""Angry?" Sora was confused. "Now?""Duh… yeah."He wan't sure of what she meant, but he answered either way;"Maybe.""Why are you angry?"Sora scanned his memory fast. "Got it."Z was taken aback. "So quick? I see you already have a good motive." Z stood in front of Sora and folded her arms, putting one foot in front of the other. "Tell me.""Tell you what?""Why you are angry?"Sora remained quiet. How do you explain that the memory of your best friend being killed by a soul eater still haunts you every night and you are on a mission to kill the strongest soul eater in a bid to save your friend without sounding mad? Sora shook his head."You won't tell me?"Sora kept mute.&nb
Rise of the Strongest Soul Mage Meeting the Master
Sora and Z stayed training for about an hour before Sora finally gave out and laid still on the ground wondering why he was summoned, but Z put in a few more minutes just to spite Sora before laying on the ground beside him.When Sora noticed she had evened out her breathing, he decided to ask Z for more information."Do you know why the master wants to see me too?"Z shrugged, "Who knows why Tydinn does anything? I have absolutely no idea why he even asked to see me."Sora noticed something was up with the way Z always mentioned the master by his name, but hesitated on asking about it.Pushing herself up to rest on her elbow "Have you done anything crazy that I don't know about?""No,"Z kissed her teeth in disappointment. "Would have been great if you did, at least that would have served as entertainment. Anyway, I guess we'll find out why when we se

"That's deeply appreciated." Z bowed again."How's the training going?""It was great until you summoned me here. Now I'll have to push back on training.""I didn't summon, I asked to see you, can I not?""The training is going well. He's doing better than I expected… Actually, he can take you on now and I'd gladly bet on him winning." She replied grinning from ear to ear like a proud mother."That's quite an assumption.""It's true. You would be whining about back aches before you can get one strike hit on him.""I'm sure I do not look that old.""Not from where I'm sitting." Z retorted."Even if I did, experience and level will win. He's a fresh mage."They were silent for a few seconds before Z broke the silence. "He moved me."A slight frown app
Rise of the Strongest Soul Mage Friend
Z woke up to find herself sprawled across her couch, her head hurt from drinking a lot the night before. She laid still for a few more minutes thinking about how frustrated she had been the day before. She knew Sora didn't deserve to get yelled at, but she had been upset with her father and took it out on him instead. She had succeeded in pushing away the only person would probably become one of them now.She got off the couch and dragged herself into the bathroom. She opened the taps, filled the bathtub to the brim and got in, still with her clothes on. Z submerged herself slowly while adding her energy into the water, which gave a calming effect but her mind kept taking back to the times when she trained as a Hunter.Being trained alone by a hunter was unusual, more so being the only one trained by a Master Hunter in the whole academy. It gave Z a reputation real quick.She was avoided by other mages, some out of fear of getting on
Rise of the Strongest Soul Mage Mission
Z smiled from across the room. She knew Sora couldn't see, but she smiled like a proud mother.He opened his eyes, and his energy seemed to flicker."Don't lose your anchor. Hold it!" She yelled from across the room and his energy grew larger; "Now hit me you ." and ended with a smirk.Sora charged.They trained for a while sending energy and strikes back and forth. They stopped after Z caught Sora in a lock, bringing his hands together until he accepted defeat. After resting for a while, they walked out of the training area."Can I ask you a question?""Your questions seem to always get you in trouble. Are you sure you want to take the risk? Z asked"Yes.""Shoot then""What's your anchor?"The question seemed to impress Z. "My anchor used to be anger too. Anger at my dad and
Rise of the Strongest Soul Mage Final Test
Sora spent the rest of the evening training hard. He still had a full day to train but he couldn't get his body to relax. Something poked at his chest at intervals but he pushed through till he finally fell to the ground exhausted. He got back to his room and passed out on the floor skipping dinner. Sora woke up the next morning drenched in his sweat and with a very shallow feeling in his guts. It was like nothing he had ever felt and his insides itched badly. His stomach grumbled over and over signaling its need for food so Sora got off the floor and immediately, the tight poking in his chest started again and his heart raced uncontrollably. He hurried to the bathroom and freshened up quickly before running out the door to the Dining Hall. Luckily for him, the Hunters had their serving stand by the entrance and Sora packed as much as he could onto his plate leaving no space. He got stares from the mages around but paid them no mind.

Not that one
The stren baritone voice Sora had heard the last time he was in Warrick’s house was a complete contrast to the person before him. He had expected an equally stern man with an intimidating build and sharp exterior but Warrick was a plum and short man with a hairline that began to recede ages ago and a huge mustache he obviously was in denial about...All qualities he knew he had seen somewhere before.“Who are you?” Warrick demanded as he moved even closer to them.“Messengers—Visitors ” Sora and Aridah replied respectively.They exchanged questioning looks and looked back at Warrick with awkward smiles“Visitors—Messengers” Once again their eyes met.Warrick raised his gun an inch higher and closer to their faces. “I will not ask again, who are you?”This time Sora looked to Aridah as if to give her the floor. “Please tell him who we are.”Aridah cleared her throat and stepped forward from behind Sora, but not close enough to be in Warrick’s line of sight. “We are messengers who are vi

“Are you sure about this?” Aridah asked Farah whilst rubbing the little boy’s head gently. “There might be nothing there.”“I’m sure. There’s nothing else for us to do here, at least there’s something to look forward to now.”“You can come with us, you know. We’re not sure where we’re going yet but at least we’d be together.”“Ari, I’m sure. We will go to the Capital to find my brother.” “And there’s no way to change your mind?”Farah moved closer to Aridah placing a reassuring arm on hers. “I know you’re worried about our safety but we’ll be fine. We will travel by day and hide by night, we’ll be fine.”Aridah sighed, accepting defeat. “Alright, but you don’t have to leave yet, you can stay here till you’re ready. ”“We’ll leave in two days. I want Niko well rested before we begin the journey.” “How are you even going to get there? You can’t possibly walk all the way.”“We’ll need a carriage, or at least something that moves but I have no idea how to get one.”Aridah “There should be

Outnumbered
The Academy was in chaos. They had barely survived the first attack and irrespective of how hard they had prepared for another attack, nothing prepared them enough for the army of soul eaters that befell them. It was another surprise attack, but this time they had taken the capital first.The Hunters rushed into the capital leaving the Academy vulnerable and the soul eaters, led by Two, seized the opportunity to attack the Academy. The number of soul eaters were outrageous compared to how little Hunters were left guarding the Academy, but they fought nevertheless and they fought hard.Z and Kain fought together, bringing down soul eaters, but her eyes always found Tydinn in the crowd and that was when she saw him outnumbered by soul eaters, his blades still went up and down slicing through the mammoth crowd but she was only a matter of time before they would close in on him and take him down.Z's eyes went wide with rage at the sight of Tydinn struggling and without thinking, she jump

Endless
Kresha’s hunters division was large, several separate buildings made up the division and most of them were already engulfed in flames. Everything was happening too fast, and within a minute or less, fire had spread across the entire landing. The hunters that had run back into the division stood at several locations trying to put out the fire with water they drew from the earth, the air, the plants and the fountain in the middle of the division but none of their efforts seemed to work.The building in front of Sora had just started to smolder in the fire and the first thing that crossed his mind was whether or not there were people inside. He thought of going inside the building and looking for some people, but the extreme heat that was coming out of the house thwarted him instantly.Sora channeled all the energy he could and raised a shield to protect himself before dashing into the building. His shield did well to prevent the flames from burning him but it did not stop the smell of f

I saw you run
Sweat dripped down Sora’s body as he made his way from the woods into Kresha. Running to Kresha late at night and in the middle of training hadn’t been in his plans for the night but he felt a sudden urge to find Warrick again and possibly the Hunters division too. The urge had been too strong to ignore so he dropped everything and ran without second guessing himself.As he ran, he felt the cold hit his face but in spite of the cold, his insides kept burning. It burned so much and his head ached as well, he felt the floor rise up to his face and back down as nausea hit him but most of all, his craving for souls drove him insane, however he didn’t stop running. Although he craved for souls, he felt stronger than before, his training was working but it also made his frenzy come quicker and for some reason, this felt stronger than any frenzy he had ever had. He knew it was only a matter of time before he lost complete control and gave in to his frenzy, finally becoming the beast he alway

Aridah walked quietly in front of Sora as they weaved through the streets and Sora waited patiently for a response but nothing came.He finally broke the silence. “You can’t avoid this forever.”Aridah faced him with her tongue stuck out. “I can try, can’t I?”“Aridah, why are you stalling?”“There’s a lot of people around, can we at least get home first?”Sora knew it was another excuse to get out of talking and she probably would find another reason when they got to the house but he wasn’t going to push. He would have to wait and see how things played out when they got to the ho

“Err…where are you going?” Aridah called out to Sora.He stopped in his tracks and faced her. “Home.”The word was out his mouth before he realized he had just described her house as his home but he didn’t take it back either.“We’re not going home yet.”“Why not?” Quite frankly, he had had enough of Kresha for one day and was ready to get out.“Because I’m going to work.”“Work?”“Yes, work. What people do to earn a living.”

Kresha was a mess! A total mess, and Sora’s eyes went wide with shock as he took in Kresha. The streets were filled with people moving in different directions, never stopping for the human obstacles that bumped into them occasionally, but swirling around them. Sora had never been claustrophobic before, but from where they stood, the view of the almighty swell of people made panic rise in his chest but he did his best to remain calm.He could smell them too, the people and the thick fowl air, a jumble of fresh herbs and spices from the stand next to them, body odor from passersby and fermented alcohol. That was when the heat hit him and he suddenly didn’t seem to mind replacing his shirt with a more revealing one not minding the ramifications.It was as though his senses had been amplified to the highest frequency and everything sucked.

Madness
It had been three days since he regained consciousness, since he woke up on Aridah’s floor and two days of trying relentlessly to get words out of her about Varnek, but every single time he asked, she avoided his questions by changing the topic. Her constant efforts to dismiss him only confirmed that she knew more than she was letting on which made him persist even though he was growing impatient.He grew frustrated when he tried training the next morning and realized how weak he had become. He was completely drained and could hardly lift a pin, but it got even worse when he realized he couldn’t jump either. Jumping was the only way he knew to move long distance which would make returning back to the Academy a little more difficult for him.When he asked Aridah how she moved to places, she told him she walked everyw
