Chapter 6 - Chariots of War

It was nighttime, but Asahi couldn't sleep. He began to remember all the things Leo had said, How saddened he looked when he told his story. He glanced over at him, and smiled warmly, "My White Horseman...I picked up a good one.....Sleep well...Leonardo...."

~~■THE NEXT DAY■~~

After their lunch time, Asahi and Leo were walking back to their rooms when Asahi was tripped by someone,but he didn't fall, reacting quickly, he flipped and land on his feet with perfect stability. "OH....incredible reaction...." Asahi looked up at the person who did this and he looked confused when he saw him. "A....Kid?" "HEY! I'm 14...I'm ain't just some kid- GOT THAT?!!" "Come on Leo....let's go--Leo??" Asahi grabbed onto his arm and felt him trembling slightly. That's when Asahi noticed his bracelet...."A B class? This little kid??",He thought to himself. " I heard some kid F class beat Duncan up real bad....Guessing it was you...I don't really care about this place...But I want to fight all the strongest people I can find. If you are that amazing....Let's have a little duel,Tomorrow.....At the Blood nest." "Asahi! Don't do--!" "I accept it....The duel....let's do it." The kid just smiled and went his way. "Asahi....why did you do-!....??" Leo was staring at Asahi, but his gaze was fixated on the boy who had just left them. "He's been through it as well....Leo....The darkness of this world....He has experienced it as well....." Leo gasped and only nodded. "Leo....What's the Blood nest?" "It's kind of a training room within Valhalla.....The Awakened are sent there to train their powers incase they are on the verge of evolution." "Evolution?" "That's right. When you are assigned to a Class...your god ability can evolve and attain new abilities. Then the class on your bracelet may change depending on how strong your ability had gotten." " I see....well why do they call it the blood nest?" "...When the Stronger Awakened are in there....they sometimes....test their powers on the weaker ones....And so...there's a lot of bloodshed...." "Got it.....Well...this duel might be even better than I thought!" Asahi giggled and began to walk away. "Hey Asahi!,Wait up!"

Asahi woke up the the next day with the biggest grin on his face. He was clearly way too excited. He kept on bugging Leo through out the day until it was finally time for them to gather at the Blood nest. When he entered, his eyes sparkled looking at all the other Awakened there, honing their abilities. When the kid entered....Every one seemed to back away. "It seems you have quite the reputation built here...kid.." "I told you...didn't I?...I'M NOT A KID!!" The Boy stomped on the ground as his red-brown hair began to move violently as if it were alive. His scarlet eyes seemed to be piercing into Asahi's soul, but Asahi just looked at him with a blank face. Everyone knew that there was a battle about to go down and no one was trying to stop them. Even though Leo knew Asahi's true class, he was still worried about him. But Asahi turned to him and smiled before turning back to the boy. Leo's heart was calmed once he saw him smile, but he still anticipated what would happen next. The moment the his eye's locked with the boy's, Asahi felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. He looked at it and saw a huge wound gushing with blood. "He--had already attacked me...How! I hadn't seen him make any movements...Tsk...." Leo was in shock, but he knew he couldn't interfere. He also hadn't seen the means that the boy had used to attack. "This is my god ability...Chariots"
