Chapter 37 - Levi's choice: Flames or Energy Cultivation? A Hiro past time: 9 months back.

Waking up hot and sweaty, the birds chirped, the sunlight shined in her room, and her phone was buzzing as someone was calling her.

But ignoring that, she sat up and she was blushing as a lewd smile formed on her face.

She looked next to her and she was alone, but that didn't seem like a problem as she grabbed a pillow, hugging it, grinning like crazy as she remembered it all.

"Last night was amazing♡"

Throwing pillow-chan off to the side, she moved to the edge of the bed and as she got up, she could still feel the lewd sensation of her orgasm in and on her body, which was a sign for her. Because she could feel how warm, and erotic she was, and as she grabbed a slight pair of underclothing clothing plus clothing, she gracefully went into the hallway and then to the bathroom to take a nice shower to wash away all of what had gone on during her naughty love play.

Little did this fool know, all of what had happened was nothing more than a dream, a dream caused by a human-changling who had acquired a sexual inducement trait which was named [Lewd 4 Dreaming], which fucks with everyone around them.

After getting out and dressing in her school attire, she walked downstairs to where she smelled something good, and as she walked in and wanted to, say hi to- nvm, it was just her mom making breakfast.

Looking at her, she was also in a good mood and as she walked over to the living room, she saw Levi who was still here and reading a notebook which was titled,

[Titel: basic phyric energy training manual Pt.1]

Reading it, he was on the couch and he ignored all around him as he was so focused on reading what was inside the notebook.

"I don't get it, Mrs.Natsu told me to train my flames, not energy? I hope big brother knows what he's doing or does he just not like his mother training me?"

Walking over to the couch and sitting next to him, he ignored her, and as she snuck a peek at what he was looking at, he spoke to himself again,

"No, elder brother Hiro wouldn't do that, furthermore his manual is more difficult and descriptive than what she had been teaching me? And in saying that he's more of his mother than he thinks, they both want to best for me, but their method of training is completely opposite"

"She believes in nurturing the essence of our flames, and our flames are the strongest element of the arcane destruction class, especially since we use energy, a conversion and special flow of mana. So she wants to boost the force and maximum potential we can release by mixing the energy with original mana to strengthen our all-around power"

"But Hiro's method?"

"Hiro's method is the nurturing of our energy instead? It's a slow process with more advances in energy control and manipulation, actually, I think my blood brothers had used this method for weapon crafting, but it's incredibly slow and harder since it's purely energy-based, it doesn't relate to our flames or their increase in strength, but it has more potential in power evolution"

"But if I use Mrs.Natsu's flame method I can increase my mana capacity 10 folds, and my flames pure destruction power getting boosted could make me a strong phyric sorcerer?"

"But if I use elder brother Hiro's phyric energy method, I can manipulate my energy and have better control over my abilities involved with my power, but it wouldn't make me a strong phyic sorcerer?"

Shutting his eyes and putting the notebook/manual down, he thought about it deeper, and he imagined 2 different phyic sorcerer subclasses which this could fit into, and he used Hiro and his mom as the prime examples.

Mary Natsu was one of the strongest Natsu sorcerers under the Natsu clan's head patriarch, she was an elder sorcerer who led her own branch and was known for Bing an absolutely terrifying individual who could strike fear into everyone with just the mention of her name.

But Hiro, he was a complete nobody, but at the same time, that's what made him so terrifying. And it's because no one knows his name or his past, but Levi knew one story about Hiro from his blood brother which made him see Hiro, not as the caring elder brother figure he hoped for him to be.

And the reason why... Was because this took place 9 months ago.

Horus, Levi's oldest brother had been captured by a group of Necromancers who served under Izumi the litch progenitor, and they were involved with mutations and even zombie evolution projects, but what they were most involved with was the process of creation, and that's why they had kidnapped Horus, for he was a well-known sorcerer.

They had captured dozens of sorcerers from different clans and they had planned on using live experimentation to create new species of undead, a real undead sorcerer, which had never been possible, but that's why they were there, they were going to make it possible.

A month had passed while being in there and as he was being cut up, tortured, drugged, tested on, and even forced into many mind-breaking experiments, he started giving up hope until one night.

As he was in a room with his fellow brothers and sisters, all sorcerers just like him, they might not have been of the same clan, but they were all brothers and sisters in arms now, and as they were caged like animals, their powers were useless as they had somehow have been suppressed and unusable.

*Groan*

"RAAAAAA"

Looking outside of the cage, they saw on the wall of the room, there was a getsu(Monyric) sorcerer who was chained to the wall and as blood rushed from his teeth his eyes were bloodshot and he was growling, the 7 Necromancers rejoiced as this was the first successful zombie,

Their first zombified sorcerer, this made them grin and look over to the rest of their test subjects who were ready and next in line to become zombies.

*Creak*

But as the door to the room opened they all looked back to their beautiful zombie and its eye's cores surged with a sky blue glow and they took a step back it wildly lashed out. but at the same time, they could feel it, the strong Monyric(Moon) energy was still there and being released, and so this was defiantly a success.

Meanwhile, someone masked in a dark cloak had walked into the room and as they did, they walked up to the cage full of sorcerers and he scared them.

They had all backed up and even Horus was scared. Because he knew the dark cloak of a Necromancer ment no good seeing as ranks were color-coated amongst the Necromancers.

And black was the same color as the Necromancers who had used forbidden magics to create the zombified sorcerer.

With all of them back against the wall, Horus looked to the masked man with terrified eyes, and as he looked to the masked man, he couldn't see a face past the darkness. He then looked down and as he did, he saw 2 hands covered in fresh blood, it dripped down onto the ground leaving a trail from behind him and as he looked back to the face of the mystery person, he saw a shimmer in the darkness. . .And he saw orange cores glair at him.

The masked man then turned to the Necromancers and he started walking over to them, going over to the left side and drawing 2 daggers from under his coat.

Getting behind then Horus watched as he flicked 2 normal playing cars, trick shoting them so they went around 2 Necromancers, and as they did they caught ablaze and shifted into 2 flame hands, covering the Necromancers mouths as he then thrusted 2 dangers into their backs, Assassinating them.

the flame hands then started disappearing and as the 2 dead Necromancers started falling to the ground, the mysterious person shifted his cloak once more and drew a sword from his belt, drawing it quickly and before the bodies could hit the floor and alert everyone.

"Dance of the 5th sword. . .Execution"

Hearing a familiar voice, the Necromancers fell to their knees and immediately alerted the others, but as it did they were too late as a sword came rushing to their heads, and in a hasty action, it was too late for them as his western double-bladed sword made from a blackish material had cute their throats and he slashed all, performing 5 [Lethal takedowns] in the matter of half a second.

He was swift and gracefully, slashing his sword through their heads, breaking right past the bone without it getting stuck, and decapitating 5 Necromancers in one small few moments.

But as he moved faster than anyone could have expected, the natural fast movement made his hood catch wind and fling back, losing it to expose who he was.

And Horus gasped as it was none other than his cousin, the same one who was known amongst the Natsu sorcerer's as pathetic and useless, or to be frank everyone of the Natsu clan knew him as garbage and a disgrace, seeing as he failed at being a sorcerer and known for having his own mother give up in him as a sorcerer, or so he heard.

But looking at him this was unlike the storys of the famous Mary Natsu's son, and something was different about him, because he saw Hiro as an idiotic but cheerful and nimble person, always happy and hopeful, but this wasn't the case right now.

and looking at his cousin, his eyes widened as he saw Hiro ignore all the caged sorcerers and instead lift his sword with both hands and stab it into the corpses of the 2 daggered Necromancers.

Watching he gasped as the weapon was infused with his Phyric energy, shrouding the blade with a sliver of orange energy, but then it turned black from the bottom and started spreading up the blade.

The energy became all the way black and then the center of the blade had something up there, which glew a neon blue, and as it did it started absorbing something so dense that he didn't know if it was energy.

but looking closer, he focused on his eyesight, and he managed to have them flicker purple, he saw a glimpse of it and he gasped because that sword was eating their absorbing their souls

Hiro was using a forbidden weapon, a weapon which not even the bright forge sorcerers would dare to make because that western sword was a [soul eater], a legendary sword forged from a spirit dragons flames and a powerful God of forge,

but the only problem was the mana had forbidden any soul tools/and weapons, it was highly forbidden and seriously punishable as the weapon was pure evil in her eyes.

"Hir-" but as Horus was trying to call out to his cousin, a fellow sorcerer grabbed his mouth "shhhhhhhh" he then pointed at Hiro and whispered,

"keep quiet and look at his eyes, last his orange cores and into where the black past his irises/cores are supposed to be"

Listening to his brother in arms he looked at Hiro's eyes and he saw sky-blue... Hiro was enforcing and that was enough to shut force his mouth shut.

Watching Hiro who was currently acting as a Mana enforcer, he watched Hiro walk up to the growling zombified sorcerer and as he did. the zombie was trying to attack him, its eyes never left Hiro and it got even wilder as it desperately wanted to eat him

razing his sword he stabbed into a Necromancer's corpse to hold it up, and as he did he walked up to the zombie and clicked his tounge as he stopped in front of him.

"The ALLMOTHER does not approve of your existence and neither do I, but she is kind to all her children, now come quietly to the shrine of Aldebiah for retribution or-"

"GRAAAAAAWWW!"

He cut hiro off and tried attacking again, this time cracking the stone on the walls, and trying as desperately as possible to hurt Hiro, but instead, he just antagonized Hiro who hadn't been acting like how the others were when they enforced the Mana.

Taking a step forward, Hiro trusted his hand into the gut of the zombie and made him scream in agony as he could still feel the pain as if he was alive. The zombified sorcerer wasn't null to pain like most undead.

"I don't have time for this, the ALLMOTHER is offering you a shot at life! A chance to continue your meaningless existence! But as for me, I'm still debating whether or not I want to cut you up for wasting my time" his voice was cold and dark.

*ROAR!*

Howling and sarls in Hiro's face, he tried biting him and it annoyed the hell out of Hiro, so he took his hand out of the zombie's gut and grabbed its face, he then proceeded to smash its head into the wall without care for its life.

Looking at the blood that stained his hand, his expression towards the zombie was disgusted and so as he lifted his hand... And then he proceeded to grab its face again and bash it into the wall once more.

"Make up your fucking mind! I could care less if you live or die, I still have things to do today, so do as commanded, and take the gift the ALLMOTHER has given you, and make the choice of retribution you disgusting beast!"

Yelling in the zombie's face, the zombie broke the Iron chain and kicked his leg into Hiro's stomach, completely catching him off guard.

The zombie saw this as its chance and it moved its head, bitting Hiro's hand, sinking its teeth deep into Hiro's flesh, and tasting his blood while trying to infect and rip out a chunk of tasty human meat out.

This pissed him off to the highest extent and as the zombie was nawing away at his hand, he dashed forward and jumped, despite it being 2 inches away, it made a huge difference as he hit the zombie's head against the wall and forced its back against the wall.

"So Mother(Mana), but this thing isn't worth our time, he isn't our bother and doesn't deserve to live, so can I have permission to execute it, and follow through with the mission"

Horus finally got it, Hiro had a free rain of speech and action, he wasn't moving according to the Mana's enforcement, this was all Hiro and he was just doing as the mana had asked him to. Which had made him see a different side of Hiro.

The zombie sunk its teeth in deeper and he pushed forward, headbutting it and making it lose its grip on his hand and in a split second, he reacted by rushing his hand into its mouth, grabbing its lower jaw, and without a shred of hesitation, be pulled on both sides and proceeded to rip the zombie's lower jaw out and free his hand from its grasp.

Extremely pissed off his eyes glew up in an orange burst and he pointed his hand in front of the zombie and all the sorcerers felt a dense cloud of phryic energy manifest and fuck all of them as this was the dense energy pressure of an almost rank 4 phyric sorcerer with a highly dense power.

Flames had started erupting from all around his body and using nothing but pure energy, he hadn't burned any mana to full his flames, all the energy in his body converted into energy-based flames and as the flames were hot enough to melt Steele, it started spiraling and shooting towards his hand, shifting and forming a dense 5x5 ball of fire that had already started burning away at his cloak and the zombie's long hair.

But as a flair up of pure murderous intent started Manifesting outside of him, the sky-blue in the center of his eyes started glowing and he clenched his hand, extinguishing the flame and lowing his hand.

"I Hiro Garamiah Natsu have disobeyed the Mana's orders, and in attempt to murder an innocent soul belonging to a fellow sorcerer, I have lost free command over this here enforcement mission"

The orange flickered in his eyes and it was replaced with a sky-blue.

Hiro looked at his bloodied hand and he squeezed it, dripping the blood onto the floor and then re-opening how hand, mumbling something and speaking to himself as he looked at the blood from his hand.

As Horus analyzed and broke down what was happening, he made a self-discovery and had realized that before he disobeyed the mana, he gave a glimpse of his true persona. An irrational and unstable Hiro who was the product of unstable sorcery and the art of training as a Warrior which was pretty Chaotic as the result of his mother and father.

The mana hated those who weren't true to themselves or her, so if someone was willingly enforcing, they were blessed with their true selves which seemed like more of a curse in most cases like Hiro.

"I apologize Mr.Zombie, Now let's be sophisticated because right now I have the urge to tear out your throat" is this really what he wanted? Wow?

Looking over to the soul eater, Hiro picked it up and he straightened it out in front of him, he looked at the blade and red energy suddenly started covering in.

"The Mana's going to be furious with my mother, good thing I stole this, and now I can..."

The sword's blade started melting and as it was engulfed in flames he pointed it off to the side where the metal became a liquid and dripped down to the floor.

He then turned to the zombie and said,

"Now that that's been destroyed, we have more important matters to attend to, don't we?"

"Come quietly to the shrine of Aldebiah for retribution. And I will protect you the entire way, so have no worries. Or you will have to be purified, I'm sorry but those are the 2 options"

He tried screaming something but blood came down from his mouth where its jaw was missing.

"I see, very well, in the name of our ALLMOTHER, may your soul rest in peace and we of the Mana hope you'll join us again in your next life"

Walking forward it tried kicking and as Hiro dodged it, he put his hand on the zombie's head and he casted a high-ranking holy spell which was infused his phyric energy. Setting the zombie ablaze in yellow flames but also freeing its soul back to the Mana.

"New mission acquired, the Mana wants me to-"

Turning his head to the cage of people, he walked over to them and as they looked at Hiro the enforcer, they hadn't said a word and he smiled.

"Brothers, sisters, I appreciate your silence during my work. Now shall we all leave this place together, I have my next assignment to get to and I would hate it if you were to be stuck down here"

That wasn't the full story but Horus was very hesitant on telling all the details of what had truly happened, especially when it involved Hiro...

Because there weren't 7 Necromancers, there was actually 58 in that entire building, only 7 in that room and there were 23 other rooms filled with undead and other evil creatures which he...

He butchered, he butchered them all without a shred of mercy and he was fully aware of what he was doing.

Horus sugar-coated the hell out of that story to spare Levi's Fath in their cousin which he saw as a brother.

"Wow, I don't know much about magic, but these notes are impressive" Tina

Looking to his side he saw Tina and she was reading the manual Hiro made for him,

"Hey don't touch that! It's not for you!" Levi

He snatched it out of her hand and snarled at her.

"Calm down I just want to help" Tina

"What would a puny girl like you know anything about!-" Levi

"I'm no expert on magic, but I do believe I already have an answer to your training problem, also sorry, I was listening to you talk to yourself" Tina

Clicking his tounge, he was pissed at this already, but if she had an answer, even if it was meager, he needed to know,

"Explain?" Levi

"Okay, so Hiro's explained the principles of mana once, and what I can recall, it takes you mages a long time to develop your magic and learn spells. Which I can say sounds really difficult, and I admire the both of you for working so hard to develop your magic because it's something I don't think I can do" Tina said bitterly as she admired the magical.

"But if you actually use common logic, it takes a long time for you to learn a spell because that spell is already focused and you have to adjust to its focus to properly cast it. Therefore that's the purpose of a spell, it's already controlled in tamed, even if it something destructive" Tina

"So what I think Hiro's trying to teach you is control, control over your magic, so that it won't go wild and consume you in the process" Tina

"And from what I can tell, He really cares for you and he wants you to lay on a solid foundation so you became a strong magic user who's not consumed with by their own lust for power that they end up doing something stupid" Tina

Hearing her own, she opened his eyes which was surprising as he was ignorant as fuck,

But something didn't make sense to him,

"Thank you, loud girl? I'll take your advice to heart and follow my brother Hiro's phyric cultivation method" Levi

"But why do you keep referring to us mages?" Levi

This made her confused as that's what she knew they were and there was no doubting it because that's what Hiro had called them since they knew and learned magic.

"Because isn't that what you are? Hiro told me that people who had learned magic are known as mages, well there were 5 classes to being a mage? But in general, it was called mage, unless, you're a wizard? But no, I don't see the both of you with tools to help you use magic, so you're obviously mages" Tina

But as she had said that he looked displeased and almost disgusted as he listened to her foul words.

"You offend me with your fouls words girl, I and my brother didn't learn Magic, we were born in the fire of our ALLMOTHER, we already knew the knowledge to our sacred flames since our birth, we are of the school of evokation! we are a clan of the strongest destruction class of magic!" Levi

Stranding up, his eyes were glowing purple which made her gasp in awe as this was like a fun speech even tho he was dead serious.

"We are the enforcers of the Mana and punishers of Evil!" Levi

"We're phyric sorcerers!" Levi
