"Dear Shiro,
If you are reading this, it means you've been through enough hell for me to remember to give you this book.
It also means that things may get worse very soon so be carefull.
There are many things I would like to talk to you about but there isn't enough time so I'll just say the most important things.
I know that by now you're curious about your mother and you probably already hate me for not remembering her so I'm apologizing even though I know that by now I've done it many times without you listening.
Your mother's name is Ritsu. she is beautiful, lovely, a bit rugged and a whole lot stronger than I am. I have a hand drawn picture of her inside this book but that's all I've got so don't lose it. if you want to know more about her go to 'Hidemoto Yami' or Rin or maybe Orie but but don't hate them for not telling you the truth. And if you go to Yami's, be ready to dodge some bullets, I kinda got into big trouble here.
This book contains information about every skill I mastered, from basic combat to havoc wrecking moves, to ones that you wouldn't dare try. But anyway learn and use them well, and be sure to unleash chaos, this is my apology for not being here for you.
I really have much to say but there is no t..."
This letter was written on the first pages of the book that Dave had given shiro. Everything was easy for shiro to understand except for the picture "why is it hand-drawn?" he asked himself
"Who is Hidemoto Yami" he asked again, as he look out the Picture of his mother from the book and stared at it. It was indeed I drawn by hand; very good hands.
One could see enough detail to recognize the woman in the picture unmistakenly. But that didn't seem to be enough for shiro. He was wanted more than just that, he wanted something more real something he could hug, speak to, and talk about his problems with. But he couldn't get it.
He just gave out a heavy..sigh and flipped to the next page, it had a title written boldly on it "RACING HEART"
Mean while in the guest room Mia was trying out different dresses, instantly switching from one dress to another. This was one of the conveniences of her abilities, she could change her whole attire within the blink of an eye but her indecisiveness caused her spend more time changing. She kept changing until she found her perfect dress and was finally ready for her date then she wasted no time in running to Shiro's room and opened the door, distracting him from what he was reading "ohhh you're ready" Shiro said in voice that sent the "I've been waiting" message to Mia, as he closed the book that he was almost done reading and followed her out of her room to the front. The front door of his house, then he sighed and looked up.
"Yang, no third wheeling" he said looking at his identical phantom twin brother that was hovering above him. Then Yang left them in peace, and Dave came walking towards them.
He went to Shiro and put something in his hand, then Shiro responded by punching him in the stomach.
"Why would you give me this?" Shiro said, putting the condom back into Dave's pocket and shoving him off. Then he grabbed Mia and ran off, smiling as he looked at the credit card in his hand which he had swiped when he shoved Dave.
Most people expect a date to be romantic, with flowers and kisses, songs of love, confession of love, lovely dinner, and all those other stuff.
But for Shiro and mia there was something more romantic than others; "food stands"
They went from one food stand to the other eating as much as they could. In just one day they had eaten a month's worth of what was of snacks and fast food and where hungry for more, luckily for them Dave's account was surprisingly endless and they continue their snacking spree till evening then decided to go to am arcade.
It was a huge arcade and there were many games to play but they played only one.it was a game called "karaoke ninja" Shiro liked it because the game reminded him of himself.
You hold a microphone which is the controller, and sing with it while the ninja moves to the beats and slayed his foes:
After about an hour of singing they decided it was time for the final act of the date; A typical romantic dinner,and they choose restaurant called "Tanaka's"
Tanaka's was chosen by Shiro mostly because he wanted an open kitchen where chefs do stunts while cooking.
As they walked through the door one of the "stunt chefs" caught their attention, he was youngest among them and he looked very familiar to Shiro "oohh.....that's Yamato from class " Shiro said,finally recognizing the young chef.
Yamato as student was the most unusual of them all, his father was the school janitor so everybody knows he wasn't from a rich family and most of the royal kids made jest of him. He he was the non royals students
"Favored to win" for the students tournament because of his skills, but he skipped the tournament to work and pay his fees. he is also Shiro's rival when it comes to sleeping in class and almost getting into trouble. In other words, he was a role model to the non royal students.
"So he is where you you are now" Shiro said as he walked towards Yamato who was just noticing his presence.
"I don't have time to talk" Yamato replied as he continued to skillfully flip different edibles around.
After giving few ignored compliments, Shiro finally asked "who owns this place?" and Yamato replied with "didn't you read the sign outside"
"Where's she?, I need special treatment" shiro asked again as he pulled Mia closer to him.
Yamato then realized that Shiro was on date and apologized for ignoring him then he answered Shiro's question "the boss is busy rehabilitating some guy claims to be a king" he said
"But I can be your server for today" and then yamato led them to a table for two that was close to the glass walls. Then the couple began to order.
They were digging into their fifth meal when Mia noticed an unusual flicker of light coming from the top of a neighboring building. She immediately knew that it was a sniper aiming for Shiro and she rushed to move him out of the way.
Shiro wasn't fully recovered, and he wasn't going to be fast enough to dodge the incoming bullet so she pushed him out of the way and tried to stop it with her swords. But the bullet wasn't an ordinary one; it was densely infused with ice magic so it easily broke through Mia's swords and hit her on the left shoulder.
Shiro wanted to give chase but the sniper was already gone, and he had more things to worry about. The areas around the bullet on Mia's shoulder were beginning to freeze, and everyone else had fled for their safety. All the staff except Yamato also fled.
"Do you have a room " Shiro asked Yamato as he hurried to pick Mia up.
"Yes " Yamato answered.
Shiro immediately carried Mia, and followed Yamato to the room and laid her on the bed. She was a now shivering and shaking, and the cold was rapidly spreading. She was running out of time.
Shiro asked Yamato to leave the room, then he knelt down beside Mia and placed his hand on her shoulder, then he began raising it slowly as a little amount of lightning sparked around it and flowed into the bullet wound and pulled out the cold piece of metal.
It was a great relief for Mia, but she was still cold enough to freeze to death. So Shiro cuddled her, and whispered into her ear.
"Does your heart race for me?"
Mia was unsure of what Shiro meant, but without hesitation she answered "Yes "
Soon after, lightning began to flow from Shiro's body into hers, and her wound was already healing.
For Mia, it was the greatest feeling ever; she felt like she was becoming one with Shiro. For her it was a feeling worthy of being called ecstasy.
Shiro cuddled Mia until she fell asleep, then he decided to roll over and sleep on his own. But instead, he was met with a silenced pistol pointed at him by someone he had once met
"LUCAS "
"Oh god, why the hell did I choose this place " Lucas said to himself as he scanned his environment. The lights were shaking, he could see naked wires sparking, and water seemed to be leaking from most parts of the ceiling. "Oh well, back to business " he shrugged and picked up a little bucket of water, then looked at his guest that was sitting "not so comfortably" on a chair. "wake up " he said as he emptied the bucket on his tied-up guest, and watched him get drenched in the water and wake up. "Oh come on!" Shiro yelled as he woke up to see himself tied up and wet. then he looked around the room slowly, and in a calm voice he said "why don't we begin?" and turned to Lucas with a smirk. With little hesitation, Lucas asked his first question, "who are you?". Shiro wasn't quite sure what that meant, so he replied with "I'm sure you already know what". And with great disappointment, Lucas put his hand on his hand over his face and paced around the room for a while. Then stopp
Four days had passed since Tanaka found the young man in the alley, her restaurant was torn apart a day after that and she was still trying to connect the dots. The young man was able to recall his name "Endo" but every other thing he said seemed to make no sense, he kept claiming that he was a king, and that he had just witnessed the annihilation of his entire kingdom. The words seemed true and sincere but problem was that there was no such kingdom as the one he had mentioned "Nihon" there was no kingdom with such a name, and if a kingdom had just been annihilated, it would be a worldwide news but there was no news about it. Despite all that, Endo claimed that everything he said was true. Tanaka on the other hand, contemplated she would do about it. "Should I use it?" she asked herself "would it be be proper?" she asked again "but it's only the two of us, no one would notice" Tanaka racked her brain for a few seconds before coming to a conclusion "I'll do it" she said as she walk
"Shin sekai academy, the tech house, the museum of lost history, the eternal tower and all the houses in Fubuki island, most people met these structures here and almost no one knows about anything before their existence. Most people say that it all started about a century ago when Jin Fubuki discovered the newly remerged island and made it into what it is today. it was said that he sold all he had in order to do so, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Jin wrote most of his findings down and one of the things he wrote was quite surprising. it was written that there was a clear sign of a former civilisation but only on half of the island because human human skulls and remains were all over the place on one side, but on the other side there was nothing but run down structures. This led to a speculation, it was assumed that as the island sank slowly from the south, and that people moved over to the north until there was no more hope. The speculation was ruled out after a huge nu

As soon as Yang yelled "OVERSHADOW ", every inorganic material in the entire island turned pure white. clothes, shoes, walls, even screens, there was a total white-out and everyone saw it. Ranging from those who were out in the open to those who were enjoying the privacy of a public toilet, everyone had a momentary white-out. Shiro's presence and energy could be sensed throughout the island, it was as if he was everywhere at the same time. The hunters that surrounded the school were throw into daze because even after everything regained their normal colour Shiro's presence remained, they felt as if he was standing right in front of them and at the same time as if he was far away. Not just the hunters, the students, the teachers, even those that were taking walks at the edge of the island, felt the presence. when it finally stopped, Shiro was nowhere to be found, his presence was completely gone, not even the most proficient sensors could locate him. it was as if he had vanished not ju
The individual barriers that protected the students were beyond every expectation, not even big Joe, the acclaimed strongest man in the world could break through it. For a few minutes it was just an awkward moment of hunters tackling impenetrable barriers while the students inside just had to keep their hopes up, it continued that way until Cypher found the energy source of the barrier and big Joe sprang into action. Meanwhile at Shiro's house, Mia had opened the door to see a lot of unwelcoming faces. For her it was quite obvious what they were after but it was the first time that they arrived in such a large group, they were about fifty in total and they all seemed to be well trained. "he's not around " she said, as she did her best to remain calm. Normally in situations like this, the men would try to force their way in and confirm if what she said was true, and then she would end up whooping all their asses, but the condition of this encounter was not the usual. First, the m
the nature of Kojiro's ability was was quite simple. he had the ability to create highly impenetrable barriers in front of and around anything, but this great power had a huge flaw that many people knew. the barriers were so powerful that nothing except breathable air could pass through them, not even the transmission waves of magical energy, and it was worked from both inside and outside. so if Kojiro were to cover himself in the barrier, he would gain the ultimate protection but he would be unable to cover others, and if he covered others, he would be unable to cover himself. in this situation he chose the latter and put the safety of the school first. "so you're the barrier expert." Joe said as he walked towards Kojiro who slowly backed away and began to run. Joe was very built and strong with high endurance, but Kojiro was a lot faster with home ground advantage and he was quite dexterous. with just hand-to-hand combat,he was able to knock out a few hunters in the way while run
Rin and Cypher remained in their initial positions, both pointing their weapons at each other. Rin had a Shin Sekai laser gun, which was known to be powerful. It had the looks of a revolver pistol but it was surely way faster and more powerful. on the other hand, Cypher had right his index finger. it didn't seem powerful at first, but as both of them fired and evaded, it proved to be much more effective than Rin's pistol. With just his index finger, Cypher was capable of mass destruction and rapid fire. Rin wasn't even getting a little chance for a return fire. all she could do was run, evade and frequently use energy shields to block the incoming shots. "This is going to be quite easy" Cypher thought as he added his left Index finger to the equation. but this thought was quickly overturned when Rin pulled out a laser cannon from what seemed to be nowhere. Cypher was hit by two things; a strong laser beam, and great deal of shock. he could block the beam but the shock hi
From within the circle came forth a huge bird of prey; a hawk. It appeard to be fully covered in silver. Just by looking at it, one could tell that its beak was harder than a rock and that its claws were as sharp as blades, even its wings didn't seem flying was all they could do. At this point in the battle where pride was being cast aside, the same thought ran through the minds of everyone watching. "NOW THE REAL FIGHT BEGINS" "Go" at this command from Chris, the bird threw itself at Orie with incredible speed. Orie evaded the bird without problem but what came next was quite challenging. After evading an attack from above he found himself facing one from below. Not many can escape such attacks from Chris. He would use the bird to make his opponents dodge in a certain manner, then he would go in for the real attack when their balance had been compromised. It was quite an effective move, but just not for Orie. "How is this possible?" Chris thought to himself as h
"This is my day" "This is my day" "This is my day" It kept repeating but Natsumi could not understand what it meant" "This is my day" She knew she had forgotten something "This is my day" She was sure she had forgotten something "This is my day" Something that would help her discern the situation. "This is my day" It stopped as soon as she realized what it meant. She remembered that when she thought it was Orie's birthday, he had told her these words. She remembered how he told her of the four market days of his tribe and that he shared his name with one of them. She remembered that he told her how the days affected his power, and this made her the least surprised person among the audience when Orie got back up on his feet. "WHAT... THE... F***!!!!?" Ellie screamed at the camera "How much blood does this guy have?" "He's lost so much yet he is still standing" "What kind of immortal dragon sh** is this" "This is not easy to believ
Chris Vanadium. The only reason he didn't make it to the finals as much as Cal was that he faced Waramaki in most of the semifinals. He is one of the few people that have been able to beat Cal in the previous tournaments. He is also a one time champion and the one he beat to earn that title was none other than Fuji Waramaki. There were many reasons to fear him, but most feared attribute of his was the speed of his blade. Yes, he fights with a sword and he is really good with it; so good that a large percentage of his matches end in less than a minute. Anyone that saw his previous match was immediately reminded of how dangerous he was, even some that had faith in Orie in the previous match lost it for this one. To sum things up on how dangerous he was, the chance of him making it to the final match of the current tournament was ninety-nine percent. Though Orie's match was the first of round one, in round two, his match was the third. Not many had high hopes for this match beca
There was complete silence in all parts of the stadium. It wasn't that people had nothing to say but what could they say that could explain what just happened before their eyes? They just watched as the referee ran in to confirm the outcome. It took longer than usual as the referee also had his doubts but in the end he had no choice but to declare Cal unable to continue. The silence broke immediately he stood up to declare Orie the winner. The doubt of many began to flow out in words. "IT'S A LIE!!" "THIS IS BULLSHIT!!" "THIS GAME IS RIGGED!!" There was no word of doubt that was not spoken at that moment. Even when the medics came out to put Cal on a stretcher, people still thought it was an act. What could Orie do? He had just won a match and no one believed it. There was hardly anyone cheering for him, all the loud voices expressed nothing but doubt, hate, and disbelief. Despite all the hate he was getting, he just cracked a smile and walked out of the arena
You never truly appreciate a miracle unless you heard of it before it happened. That moment when the thing you thought was just too impossible begins to unfold before you for the very first time. There is no look more precious than that of one who has had such experience. Miracles happen only once. After that, it becomes a possibility. Cal and Orie were initially rated on a seven to one ratio. This meant that the officials of this tournament believed that Cal was at least seven times more powe6r than Orie and seven times more likely to win. At the current time the ratio had become ten to one. It seemed hopeless for the few that had put their faith in Orie. The match wasn't over but the situation made them feel the winner was already decided. "What is he doing in there?" "Does he have a death wish?" "Just give up already!!"even some of those that were on his opponent's side felt pity for him but Orie was not one to dwell on pity. He could not hear their words, al
"Ellie Porter here" "Live from the inside of the stadium and best seat in the house" "The starting buzzer for the match has been sounded but neither of the contenders have moved from their starting positions" "Cal is taking his time to charge up his power but we have no idea why Orie hasn't moved yet" "I still stand on my support for him but he has done what the rest of the world consider to be the greatest mistake in the history of this tournament" Ellie was right. Everyone that won against Cal in the previous tournament was powerful but that wasn't the only reason they won; they were able to win because they stopped him from charging up properly. The last person that let him charge up fully got knocked out in one hit and that was the expectation most of the crowd had for Orie. Soon, Cal had finished charging up. One could tell by the steam-like aura that could be seen emanating from his body. He got ready to move as the cheering of the crowd got louder; he was con
Just in case you were wondering where the fight was happening, the SHIN SEKAI company built a large stadium in the middle of the island where all roads cross. It was not exactly a hard place to find; in fact it was the most findable place in all of the island. The city was crowded with people from all over the world who were there for many different reasons. With the exception of those that came to spectate the matches, the most common visitors to this event were scouts and reporters. The tournament may not do much for the teachers, but it had the power to determine the future of the students that participated. "Ellie Porter here, reporting live from stadium one" a woman spoke with a clear voice as she stood with a microphone in front of a camera man. "As you can see, people from all over the world have come to witness the first match of the new world tournament" "This tournament was first introduced thirteen years ago on the same year that the school was built"
The new world tournament was one unique tournament. Despite the fact that it was held by a school and it's participants were staff and students, it still managed to draw worldwide attention. One contributing factor to this could be that the Shin-sekai academy was a prestigious school and was attended by the children of many of the world's elites but the major factor was that it proved to be more entertaining than many others in the world. The structure of the tournament was divided. The teachers' tournament took place first then the students' came after. After winners had been decided from both sides, the two winners would then have a face off. The winner of the previous teacher's tournament was Fuji Waramaki who had remained undefeated for five years. He also won all the face-offs with the student champions. The teachers tournament was full of old faces and the only two new faces in the tournament were Orie and Natsumi. Not many expected a different result from the teach
"The breeze in the west shall become the storm in the east" "It shall become a powerful force in the north" "And a sight of awe in the south" "And when it returns to the west..." "It shall be unstoppable" "My dear boy, Andrew Clipper" "These are not mere words" "This is your story" On hearing this, Andrew opened his eyes. He was on his knees and Orie stood beside him, placing a hand on his head. The room was dark and was lit by seven candles, and there was no one else in the room with them. Though all the doors and windows in the room were closed an intense wind blew within it. Gradually, the wind got stronger and blew ferociously around the empty room. It was strange that the seven candles didn't go off. "You are a storm that will sweep through all" "A wind that can move lands" "A reckoning force of greatness" "An unbreakable wind" "That, is what you are" Shiro was waiting for them outside the room. Throughout his the time he was wa
