> [Emergency Alert: Maiju-Class Threat Detected]
[Designation: Mammothram – Manatude Level 5.9 – Fortress Breaker Class]
[Location: Klarc City, Western Limana Kingdom]
[Threat Description: A quadrupedal Maiju with obsidian tusks and tremor-inducing stomps. Emits seismic mana pulses through the ground. Target prioritizes large structures and mana sources.]
> Status: Combat Protocol ENACTED | Tier-1 Sorcerer Mobilized | Team Assist: Arcflame Operative - Helliard
[debris falling as Mammothram crashes through a skyscraper-sized monument, roaring as mana pulses ripple across the battlefield.]
Light (hovering above ground, aura flaring like radiant lightning):
"That thing's tearing through Klarc like it's paper. Helliard, sync with me. We drop it before it reaches the Arc Reactor tower."
Helliard (materializing from a Solar Drift flash, embers spiraling):
"Already cooking. I'll set the minefield, you punch it into the burn zone."
Light (smirking):
"I like the sound of that. Reyk-Light Barrage, coming up!"
[Light dashes forward, light-warping speed rippling behind him.]
Skill: "REYK-LIGHT BARRAGE"
A rapid series of light-enhanced punches that explode on impact, leaving afterimages of brilliance. The final strike emits a blinding flash that disorients enemies.
Helliard (activating Solar Drift):
"Igniting the grid!"
[He streaks around the Mammothram in blinding speed, leaving a glowing lattice of flame trails.]
Skill: "SOLAR DRIFT – INFERNAL GRID"
Mines of plasma burn through the air and scorch the ground. The enemy is boxed in.
Light (grinning as Mammothram roars and tries to charge):
"He's trapped. Time for the big one—AKUREYRAN SMASH!"
Skill: "AKUREYRAN SMASH"
A devastating overhead strike charged with condensed photonic mana. The impact forms a crater and creates a massive beam of upward light.
Helliard (as the Mammothram attempts to recover):
"Not done yet. Let's shut down its mana core."
[He raises his hand, and eerie dark flames swirl into a burning sigil.]
Skill: "ABYSS PYRE"
Black-violet flames erupt and latch onto the Maiju, disrupting its seismic mana pulses. The beast stumbles, its powers flickering.
Light (hovering beside Helliard):
"Nice timing. Finish it."
Helliard (summoning the solar ring above him, voice low):
"Eclipse Burn… ignition."
Skill: "ECLIPSE BURN – TERMINUS FLARE"
A condensed sun of burning flame is hurled like a meteor. It crashes into the disabled Mammothram and detonates in a plasma nova.
[The explosion swallows the Maiju in light and fire. Silence follows. Then the wind howls through the remains of Klarc.]

All the civilians in the Clark City field applauded because of the speed of response of the two top pro sorcerers.
Reporter: wow the two of you are the best duo that I've ever saw.
Light: well if say so then that is.
Helliard: well its not like that, we are rivals to each other, I will beat his ass and became number 1 I'll promise that!
(A big tv centered in the square,watched by hundreds of people. Moreover somewhere in the crowd)-
Shinji (smiling for what he saw): damn the two have amazing synchronization...
Kurai-chi: tsk!, why are you here dumb shit.
Shinji: be-cause, I am... watching news?
[Emergency Alert: Maiju-Class Threat Diverted – New Priority Identified]
[Location: Zenith Park, East sector– Arcane Theft in progress]
[Threat Designation: Witch-Triad – Arcane Extraction Operatives]
[Targets: Kuraido & Shinji (Students)Level: Unregistered)]
[Field Report – Unit Arrival ETA: 3 Minutes]
The park crackles with residual mana. Three witches—veiled in flowing coats of shadow, fire, and twisted vines—stare down two teenagers. One of them, Kuraido, has a cocky smirk. The other, Shinji, is trying not to look annoyed… or impressed.
Witch#1 (scanning Shinji):
"…That's impossible. He had no Arcane before. Now it's surging off him like a broken seal."
Witch#2 (suspiciously):
"He's not even registered… Is he a wildborn Arcane?"
Witch#3 (grinning maliciously):
"Doesn't matter. Strip 'em both. We'll rip the power out while it's fresh."
Kuraido narrows his eyes, stepping in front of Shinji protectively—though clearly confused.
Kuraido:
"Wait, hold up. This loser? Shinji? You're saying he's got Arcane now?!"
Shinji (arms crossed, sarcastic):
"Wow, thanks for the backup. Real heartfelt."
Kuraido:
"You had zero mana last semester! I literally watched you pass out trying to lift a practice wand."
Shinji(smirking):
"And now look at me. Shining like Amsterdam at midnight."
(his aura pulses—blackish violet energy wraps around his body like a cloak of flowing shadow)
Kuraido (staring at the aura):
"…You named your moves after Dutch cities?"
Shinji:
"Yep. Wanna see Rotterdam Smash or The Hague Blitz first?"
Kuraido (deadpan):
"You're kidding me."
The witches begin chanting in sync—dark sigils glowing under their feet.
Witch#1 (Dark Grimoire):
"Let the void consume—Nocturne Veil!"
Witch#2 (Flame Grimoire):
"Burn it down—Hellpyre Spiral!"
Witch#2 (Darkest Nature Grimoire):
"Bloom and devour—Thorn Maw!"
All three rush in. Shinji's violet aura explodes outward in a burst of raw kinetic pressure. Kuraido throws up a blinding wall of light.
[BATTLE BEGINS]
Shinji:
"Hey Sunbutt, think we can actually not die here?"
Kuraido (firing a Solar Plasma Blast):
"I'm still processing that you're useful now!"
Shinji vanishes in a blink—Abyssal Surge activating.
Shinji:
"Rotterdam Smash!!"
He reappears above Witch #2, crashing down with a black-violet shockwave that sends her stumbling back. Kuraido skates through a Heat Mirage, creating five false images of himself.
Kuraido:
"Try guessing the real me—Flare Burst Accel!"
He dashes past Witch #1, leaving a heat trail that ignites the alley walls. Witch #3 counters by unleashing twisted vines laced with poison mana. One snags Shinji's leg mid-dash.
Shinji:
"Tch—The Hague Blitz!"
He spins mid-air, discharging kinetic energy from his foot and ripping through the vine with a violet burst.
Brief Breather Behind a Broken Car
Kuraido slides behind cover, panting. Shinji lands beside him, crouched.
Kuraido:
"Alright, I admit it—you've got Arcane. You happy now?"
Shinji:
"Say it properly. You were wrong. I have more Arcane than you now."
Kuraido:
"Oh shut up. At least my powers don't sound like a tourist brochure."
Shinji (grinning):
"At least I didn't get slapped by a plant."
Final Push (Stalling for Defense Force)
They stand side by side, witches advancing again.
Kuraido:
"Time to stall. You take Shadow and Nature. I'll fry the Flame one."
Shinji:
"Switch it up. I owe Nature Witch a beatdown."
They fist bump.
Shinji & Kuraido (together):
"Let's go all out—just this once."
Shinji:
"Eindhoven Detonation!"
Kuraido:
"Solar Flare Cannon!!"
The alley erupts in light and shadows, buying just enough time as sirens echo from the distance—Arcane Defense Force incoming.
[Update: Witch-Triad Status – Engaged & Contained]
[Status of Targets: Wounded, but Alive]
[Unregistered Arcane Detected – Subject: Shinji – Recommend Immediate Evaluation]
After 30 minutes of investigation again. Light and Helliard arrived at the scene.
Light (rush to the officer of investigation):Sir! How's my apprentice?
Helliard: oh you got an apprentice now?
Officer: Oh the two students?,Shinji S. Tsukishima and Kuraido K. Tenryu?
Helliard: Oh my apprentice too, is here?
Light: (smirking): you got an apprentice huh.
Officer: they are in good condition. Furthermore the witches Those who attack now also attacked in the past. Do you remember sir Light?
Light: yes.
Officer: yeah, now they're in our hands. Nevertheless we interviewed them, and they keep saying "Hail lord axzhebhan", and still we don't know why they do this, stealing some mana and arcane. You see sir the world is on chaos right now. Moreover the two teenager seems strong capable of fighting a 3.3 Maiju's.
Light & Helliard (I think he is wrong at guessing): well we will guide them to a better future.
A hours past, shinji and kuraido are in there beds trying to sleep but they can't because of what happened.
Shinji & Kuraido:(what in the actual freak is going on)
Shinji: wow we actually teamed up together, how odd.(I'm sleepy)..."sleep without thinking anymore."
Kuraido: why I didn't beat him that day...is it because I know the Truth that his mom and dad died like my parents?(Maybe he didn't know that because he was a dumb shit), well Where does his power come from?, I know that h doesn't have any mana and arcane, is that miracle?, tch. More thing was I want to apologize to him but I can't make into actions nor words.
