Shocked by the force of the blast, Ed hurriedly covered himself in a protective layer of purple mana. Fortunately, his body was extremely strong, allowing him to withstand the blow easily. But whenever something like this happened, he always thought back to his 2nd awakening where he had inadvertently killed over a dozen espers due to the mana his body released. 'I wonder if this is her first awakening or her second?' He thought to himself. As far as he was aware, there wasn't really a way to tell the difference if two awakenings happened back to back, though he had never actually heard of such a thing happening before.
As the mana faded away, Hina's body began changing. Her skin turned a light green color, and her hair turned dark green. She soon opened her eyes, revealing them to have also changed to an emerald green color.
"Interesting." Ed rubbed his chin as he examined her. 'Why's she green? There's not even a hint of wind in her mana-core?'
