' Who is that Vania she is talking about? She said she looked just like Maya, but that's impossible, right? ' Hayato thought making a doubtful expression, and wanted to ask Kara more details but right now...
Maya who was still pointing her sword at Kara suddenly whispered " Judgement " and her whole appearance changed, her eyes were brighter, her hair looked clearer just like her skin and a thin white aura appeared around her body
All the ones who saw that looked at Maya in shock knowing that Maya was getting serious with Kara and Kara noticed the fierce expression that Maya was giving her, so her face changed from one of a shock to a serious one while she was sweating from the uneasiness
Hayato who was seeing them with a serious expression turned to see Arleth who looked at him with doubt and surprise later he moved his eyes to the City Lord and the Captain who were still in shock, and finally, he sees Arleth again
Arleth frowns and nods and in the next instant, the City Lord says " What is she doing? " He turns to see the Captain and says " Captain let's intervene " The Captain turns to see him, but he looked at him hesitantly, and then Arleth says " Stop, Hayato seems to be expecting this or something "
The City Lord and the Captain turned to see Arleth with doubt and the City Lord says with annoyance " Expecting what? Kara's death? With that kind of power, Kara will be killed "
" You know that that is impossible with him here, right? " Said Wade looking at Hayato who was now calmly looking at Maya and Kara
Maya changed her stance to a defensive one putting her sword near her right shoulder while Kara still was very nervous then Hayato says " Don't be scared " Kara was surprised and turned to see Hayato who sees her with a frowning expression, and he continues " Fight her with everything you got "
Kara frowns seeing Hayato then turns to see Maya who seems to be waiting for her. Kara raises her guard and when she does that her black arms change, they were thicker and her fingers turned into claws
Kara looks surprised at the sudden change of her arms, she was even little a bit scared about it then she hears Hayato says " That is a side effect, nothing to be scared of, you can activate those claws every time you are ready to fight, I will explain to you everything else, but you should get used to it first "
Kara makes a serious expression and nods then *SWOOSH* Maya finally jumps against Kara with an incredible speed
" ...!! " Kara didn't have the time to react when *PAM* " Ack! " Maya kicks her in the stomach
Kara bounces on the ground a few times until she crashes into a big rock making it explode
" Kara! " Yelled the City Lord with worry, but he stayed still even when he wanted to run to help her
" Calm down, she is okay, something like that can't put her life in danger " Said Arleth with a calm face then the Captain turns to see Arleth and says " How can you be so sure? An attack like that can even injure me "
" Just look " Said Arleth pointing in Kara's direction and both men turned to see there
Kara comes out from under the small mountain of rocks that she created when she crashed against the big rig rock. She was in very bad shape, with blue blood coming from every part of her body except her arms and legs " Ugh... " She whimpers from the pain then the dark energy moves from her legs and arms and begins to heal her body making even the blue blood disappear in a few seconds, after that only her clothes were a little tattered and had some blue blood stains in them
Kara blinks her beautiful dark purple eyes in surprise as she sees her body ' What was that? I have been healed, and the pain has gone, all in a few seconds, is this what Hayato was talking about '
On the other side, the City Lord and the Captain were shocked " What incredible self-healing Magic I have never seen anything like that before " Said the Captain with wonder, then he turns to see Arleth and says " That's why you were so confident "
Arleth smiles cockily seeing the Captain and the Captain smiles at her then he turns to see Kara as he crosses his arms to watch the fight it seems that all the worry he had before dispersed when Kara healed in a second at least one of the two were less worried because the City Lord still has a worried expression
*SWOOSH* Maya jumps against Kara again covering a great distance in a couple of seconds
Kara frowns but this time she throws a giant dark blue fireball against Maya who was charging against her then *BOOM* Maya raises her guard and the fireball explodes against them, the explosion was huge and made the ground tremble
*PUFF* From the big cloud of fire and smoke Maya was thrown off *PAM* She hits the ground with her back first, but she rolls, and in a second she was standing without even a scratch on her body
Maya sees Kara with surprise, despite she wasn't injured at all by her attack she was surprised by the destructive power she had, especially her flames that seem to be hotter than the last time she saw them the day of the tournament
Maya frowns and raises her guard to then rush once again against Kara, who was waiting for her with her guard up, she moved as fast as before, and in just a couple of seconds she was in front of Kara then *SWOOSH* she swung her sword
*CLANK* Kara parries Maya's sword with her arms, but she grits after all Maya's attack made her take a few steps back in quick successions almost making her fall
The moment when Kara stabilizes herself she begins to attack Maya using mainly her hands like claws *SWOOSH* *SWOOSH* *SWOOSH* her attacks look a little rough and foolish it seems that she tough that using her claws was the best way to attack, so she puts beside her usually fighting style
" Not like that, Kara " Whispered Hayato seeing the fight with his arms crossed
" It's her first time with that power, so it can't be helped " Said Alyra with a wry smile while she was standing beside Hayato
Hayato turns to see Alyra and with a grin, he says " Maybe you should show her what you have learned in these couple of days "
Alyra turns to see Hayato showing him a small grin then she nods and her eyes turned from light blue to dark purple then she turns to see in Maya and Kara's direction taking out her sword in the process
Meanwhile, Kara keeps attacking Maya with her claws, but Maya evaded all of her attacks effortlessly making Kara grit her teeth with frustration she never stopped her attacks until *PUM* " Ah?! " Maya kicks her legs with a roundhouse kick making her fall
Kara makes a pained expression and when she turns to see Maya she saw her sword coming toward her, but before she was pierced *SWOOSH* Maya evaded a swing from behind by bowing her head then she jumps back and Kara noticed the woman from before, Alyra
Alyra gets in position and a couple of dark energy wings appeared on her back then she flew against Maya very fast, Maya begins to float as well, but she took off as Alyra chased after her
Alyra and Maya begin to exchange attacks in the air changing positions multiple times, Kara on the ground couldn't help but wonder seeing Alyra and Maya, especially Alyra ' That energy, she has the same power as Hayato and me? Hayato can give those powers to anyone he wants? '
Kara sitting on the ground was in a daze seeing Alyra and Maya fighting in the air, despite that Maya seemed to be playing with Alyra, Alyra was smiling the whole time enjoying her fight as much as Maya who has a small grin
Hayato walked toward Kara and when he was standing beside her he says " I know what are you thinking, and no, only Alyra and you have those powers " Kara turns to see Hayato with surprise and Hayato continues " I can help you to control those powers, but it will take you a while to control them, just look at Alyra over there, her flying style it's a little slow and almost erratic, she needs a lot of training to fly properly even Maya it's taking a while to be able to fight in the air properly even if she is a Heroine "
Kara bows her head with a sad face and stays silent, so Hayato turns to see her and says " Hey, I know about your fear of heights, maybe I can't help you to surpass it, but I know you can do it, you need to learn how to fly if you don't want to pass for a torment a third time "
Kara turns to see Hayato with tears in her eyes and she stands cleaning her eyes as she says " But Elsie... she... "
Hayato pats her head and says " It's because of that Elsie you have fear of heights? "
Kara nods covering her eyes with her right forearm while sobbing, Hayato just keeps patting her head until Kara hugs him once again hiding her face in his chest. He could feel Kara's tears wetting his shirt as well he noticed that she begins to embrace him tightly, but he didn't do anything to stopper he could notice the big amount of sorrow she suppressed until this day
The City Lord and the Captain watched from the distance Kara's display of sadness both knew why she was like that but still the feel sorry for not being able to help her with that through the years, even when they insisted so much to make her release that pain, so both of them felt thankful towards Hayato
Meanwhile, Arleth and Wade watched the battle between Maya and Alyra who were still in the sky fighting
After a few minutes, Kara separates from Hayato, she has her eyes noticeably red from how much she cried, Hayato sees her with a wry grin and says " You are ok now? "
Kara nods with a half-smiling face then she begins to see his eyes in a daze as a yearning expression emerged on her face. Hayato rises his right eyebrow with doubt while Kara stands on her tiptoes and gets her face closer to Hayato grabbing her cheeks with a grinning face making her a little confused then he says " You should pay attention to the fight, you have a lot to learn, little lass "
Then Hayato releases her and Kara smiles sweetly saying " Alright " She nods making a beautiful smile and she turns to see the sky again, looking at the battle between Maya and Alyra with great attention. Hayato smiles at that and walks towards Arleth and Wade
Arleth smiled sweetly at the approaching Hayato and says " You have a very weird way to do things Hayato "
Hayato smiles a little and says " You think so? I think this is the best way to proceed " Hayato noticed that the City was walking toward him and when he arrived the City says " Those girls are very powerful now " he said as he sees the sky, Hayato grins and shakes his head then say " But it's not enough they need to be stronger "
The City turns to see him with surprise and then he smiles to say " I know that Kara will want to go with you wherever you went... I'm not planning to interfere in her decisions after all that happened because of that so... " He turns to see Kara making a sad smile " Please take care of her "
Hayato sees him with a grinning face and says " If she trains enough she won't need my help, she will be able to defend herself from any danger "
The city lord turns to see Hayato and nods then he went back with Captain Hayato turns to see Wade and says " I think it is time to go, my friend "
Wade turns to see Hayato making a shocked expression he knew what Hayato meant so he smiled widely and nods "Alright, it's time to go for her... time to see her again " Small tears of happiness begin to fall from Wade's eyes
