The following week, Kai Kurenai continued his search for Kurenai Zero members. His steps took him to a more remote region of the TryTon Empire, a place where thick fog often blanketed the area, creating a mysterious and tense atmosphere.
Kai arrived at a small village located on the outskirts of the forest. The village is known for its high level of presence of mystical creatures and demons, an ideal place to search for individuals with extraordinary powers. In the middle of the village market, he met a young girl sitting under a big tree, with a deep gaze and a strong energy surrounding her.
The girl introduced herself as Guren Vasta, a Witch Demon who had reached the fourth level of demonic evolution. Guren is known for her powers in illusion and mastery of spirit techniques, particularly the fire spirit, Ifrit. He had used his powers to protect this village from attacks by the dark creatures that roamed around it.
Kai sat beside Guren, watching her intelligence and courage in facing the dangers around her. "What brings you here, Kai Kurenai?" Guren asked in a calm but firm voice.
Kai answered honestly, "I came to look for individuals like you who have the determination and strength to join Kurenai Zero. We are a group that aims to protect this world from dark threats, such as the Demon King Handala and his followers."
Guren nodded, his eyes radiating the same determination as Kai's. "I have felt a dark presence growing stronger around us. I will join Kurenai Zero to fight that threat, Kai."
With the acceptance of Guren Vasta as the second member of Kurenai Zero, Kai feels relieved but also increasingly responsible. The two of them then spoke at length about their group's strategy and goals, while preparing to face greater trials in the future.
After parting ways with Guren, Kai returned to the small room he rented in the village. In the dark of night, he lit a small candle on the table and studied the large map he had brought from the academy. The map was full of marks and notes about other potential members he could join.
With Guren Vasta and Fista Terras as the first members of Kurenai Zero, Kai felt his enthusiasm burning even more.
