" I can't believe I had to activate my Spiritual Awakening just to beat three kids, I guess it's true what the kinetic one told me, I shouldn't slack when it comes to training "
The man said to himself before slapping Shu's face, leaving it just like he left Ean's, sending him flying a few meters away, to then turn toward Arthur, punching him right in the gut, sending him flying hundreds of meters away
" Now, I'll take you three back to my master, you boys are very strong for your age, killing you three now will prove to be a waste of potential "
Reimen added as he walked toward Shu, lowering his upper body a bit, holding the boy by his hair to then pull him
up, staring at him with a calm expression before turning to a side, heading over to Arthur
" Let him go!! "
Ean yelled as he flew around in the air, leaving behind a blew trial of energy, using both his hands to hold his sword, swinging it with all his might against the man's shoulder, causing a huge explosion of air, cutting into the man's muscle a bit, making him drop Shu while taking a few steps to a side
" You okay, Shu? "
Ean questioned as he stood in front of Shu, holding his weapon tightly
" You're still standing it seems, in that state too, you have pretty good endurance, better than most of our high-ranking knights, but... "
Reimen said, pausing as he stared at the boy, looking at his face, seeing all the blood that dripped from each inch of his skin, to then look down at his trembling hands and destroyed academy uniform, which was tainted with his abdomen's blood
" You won't last long "
Reimen added as he clenched his fists, engulfing them with red sanctuary energy
" Oh yeah? Well then...I guess I'll have to waste every single bit of my energy to beat you "
Ean replied as his body was engulfed by a bright white energy, which began to shine, soon exploding into a thousand pieces, revealing Ean's now healed-up body as well as his awakening
" I totally forgot about my spiritual awakening..."
Shu's voice was heard, as he began to stand, laying his hand atop of Ean's shoulder, using it to help himself stand
" Thanks for reminding me Ean "
Shu added as a smirk grew on his face, while his Sanctuary Energy exploded into a huge aura, changing his looks. Turning his white hair black, turning his white skin pale, as his blue eyes began to shine
" Don't forget about me either! "
Arthur's voice was heard from the sky, as he crashed landed next to the two boys, causing a huge explosion of dirt
" Arthur! "
Shu yelled, sound excited to see the royal, as the fog of dirt disappeared, revealing an Arthur who was also in his spiritual awakening.
Arthur's entire body was covered by a white armor made of ice, and on each joint, there was blue fire spewing from
It, the only thing that wasn't covered in armor was his face and hair, which was no longer hair, it was now purely blue fire.
" What is that? The South Pole? "
Shu questioned, tapping Arthur's shoulder, making fun of his awakenings names
" Shut up, just focus man "
Arthur replied, making Shu chuckle as Ean simply smiled, turning to look at Reimen who simply glared at them
" You kids are persistent "
Reimen said as he lowered his head, sighing as he clenched both of his hands, surrounding his fists in red sanctuary energy
" But you guys won't last- "
Reimen was interrupted by two punches coming from both Arthur and Shu. The punches were targeted toward the man's abdomen, Shu taking the right side and Arthur the left.
They both pushed their fists forward, which were surrounded in a fiery blue sanctuary energy, sending the man flying backward.
Not wanting to let the man recover from those punches, the two would dash forward, beginning a barrage of punches against Reimen, making him take the defensive, covering his face to not receive any fatal blows
" Guys move! "
Ean yelled as he jumped into the air, charging his sword with sanctuary energy
" Shit- "
Shu whispered, jumping to the side as Arthur did the same, and as soon as they did a huge amount of sanctuary energy in the form of a crescent moon came flying down from the air, crashing against, creating a huge explosion, sinking the man under the ground
" Keep punching him! "
Arthur yelled as he jumped into the air, stomping the man with his feet covered in blue energy, sinking him even deeper into the ground
" Yeah! "
Shu yelled, chuckling as he jumped on top of the man beginning to punch him as Arthur did as well.
Their punches became stronger as they went on, charging their fists with more energy the more they attacked, swinging their fists so much that they eventually began to attack mindlessly
" This is useless, we're just wasting energy, this isn't hurting him the slightest, we'll have to change our tactic "
Arthur said as he turned to look at Shu who just mindlessly kept attacking, so much so that it looked like his arms had multiplied
" This midget... "
Arthur whispered, as he slightly squinted his eyes, to then open them wide as he came up with an idea.
He would then jump out of the way, letting Shu, who was too focused on the fight to even notice, mindlessly punch the man by himself
" Hey, Ean! I've got an idea! "
Arthur yelled as he landed next to the boy, who simply stared at him, holding his sword still
" What is it? "
Ean questioned, as Arthur smiled, looking over at Shu and Reimen who was still on the defensive
" While Shu keeps him busy, let's charge up our strongest attacks "
Arthur explained as both his hands were surrounded by blue fire
" Hey, how is it that you can produce fire? "
Ean questioned while holding his sword tightly, holding it straight as energy began to swirl around it violently
" When I'm in my awakened state, my control my ability increases, which allows me to reverse the effect of my ic- why do you even care? Just focus on the fight man! "
Arthur replied, as clasped his hands together while the fire around them increased, becoming bigger.
After two minutes, both Ean and Arthur had already charged all their energy into a singular point, which for Ean was his sword and for Arthur his hands
" Shu! Move!! "
Arthur screamed, as Shu gained back his senses, turning to look back at his friends, seeing the huge amount of energy they accumulated, and just as Arthur demanded, Shu jumped out of the way, allowing the two boys to hurl their attacks toward the man
" Form one, Royal Set; Agni's fire!! "
" Midnight Dark, Blue King of Death; Burning Moon! "
Both Ean and Arthur yelled simultaneously as their attacks reached Reimen, causing an explosion the size of two mountains
" Finally.. we did it "
Arthur said as he fell down on his knees, as his awakening perished into a billion particles, while the same happened for Ean and Shu
" Finally did what? "
Reimen's voice was heard behind the three boys as Shu's face was suddenly bashed into the ground, which immediately knocked him unconscious, whilst the other two, were so exhausted they couldn't move
" Fuck- "
Arthur whispered, as he was then punched in the face, causing him to black out.
