It was midnight, after my trials were finished, I went back to my room and rested for the day. Thinking about a new start for myself, feeling the satisfaction for myself with what I've done so far. Everything has been going smoothly until.
"Yes, who is it?"
I jumped out of bed and walked to the door, while the knocking stopped. Opening the door I found my sister on the front as I let her in. She felt happy for me, even hugged me and everything while I was really shocked by it.
"I know I know, can you get off me now-"
I was annoyed, but to see her smile like that actually made me happy. We never had a bond like this in a while, not since she left. The feeling of being embraced by her arms once again, safe, sheltered, and loved. It was comforting, like when I was a little kid.
After a few seconds, she let me go, she kneeled to my level as we both stared into each other.
"So how did it go, was it worth the wait?" I replied with a proud tone "Yeah, it was. Thanks sis."
I smiled back at her, but it quickly turned into a frown as I looked down, as I was still puzzled by her reasoning for leaving. I just don't get it, why are you not telling me something so important, I just want to know. Either embarrassing or important, or maybe trivial, the answers are still unknown.
"Sis, I still don't get it. Why did you leave, please just tell me?"
She stopped kneeling, raising her height. She walked onto the bed and sat down while giving a gesture to do the same with her, patting the space beside. I followed as I sat beside her. Giving a big sigh she started, her voice low and steady.
"I left for a reason, but that reason isn't what you would expect Kiiro. I'm just not ready to tell it yet y'know. But that doesn't mean I won't fill you in, in a while I will. When the moment is right."
She added.
"But right now, we need to focus on you. I know that you have awakened your power, so let's give it a whirl shall we?"
I didn't know what she meant by that, but I'm guessing that we're going to execute the final process in this step.
She hopped off the bed, and made her way to my door, signaling me to come. I joined as we left the room, taking a look back as the door closed between my eyes. "Heh~" My room has never looked better than before.
It was 12:30 AM, and we made our way back into the backyard again. The cool night air wrapped around me as I stepped outside, I could feel the stillness and peace. A comfort that the night could only bring. Seeing the outdoors at this time, the stars were shining as the moon was glistening. It really is beautiful, especially since I get to see it for such a long time after being cooped up in my room.
I was really enjoying it, until my sister interrupted me "Alright, I hope you're ready." As she began to observe me, I made my way to the same spot where I finished off with Olivia. I hope that my sister knows what she's doing, as this will be our first training session together.
"So first step, focus your mind and body, then use your energy to release everything. Think of it as a microwave that just got done cooking popcorn."
She says it like it's an easy thing, although being a good analogy though. I tried doing it nonetheless. Forming a power up stance, I closed my eyes. The power surging through my mind and body, feeling it now, it really is warm, super warm. As the heat and intensity flowed off my body, the grass that was burnt in my area, and the stifling air that was flowing through me. I'm ready now!
As I opened my eyes, I could feel the surge of energy coursing through my body. Without thinking my hands were already up, as I released an energy blast in the air with raw force. The blast went super high, high as the clouds can be. I was in awe to see it, as the energy continued to ascend, It kept going, piercing through layers of atmosphere. But then, a huge explosion happened, looking like a supernova. I was amazed, "this was my power?"
I'm betting that other people were worked up when they saw that, it was amazing, I couldn't take my eyes off of it until it disappeared. After that astonishing power, everything went quiet again, I looked back down and saw my sister with her jaws open. I think she was impressed~ not even she could release this much power when she did it first right?
"Wow, that was huge, you really improved a lot, even I was amazed by that awesome display!"
As I looked down at my hand, the sensation of power still tingled in my fingertip, forming a fist with my smile to top it. I really did it, being this huge for me, I can finally start to become what I always dreamed of. As my memories started flooding back to when I was in high school, I can finally prove them wrong. All the mockery and whispers, I was the outcast, too much of a dreamer, too weird they said, but not anymore. I will become an adventurer.
