TEASER CHAPTER 8 PART 2
The sun was already
setting in the western sky when Nozomu stepped outside the martial arts garden.
The setting sun
illuminated the white school building in vermilion.
Nozomu recalled his
earlier training as he walked through the vermilion-colored corridors. A
torrent of violent power raged throughout his body. The will of destruction was
contained within that stream.
(I have to do
something about it as fast as possible ......)
Nozomu felt that
nothing was enough. There was still no sign of him being able to control the
power of chaos, and he could not sense the presence of spirits.
In the labyrinth of
thoughts that still haven't found a way out, the frustration in Nozomu's heart
only grew.
"Fuh~ ..."
Aware of his own
impatience, Nozomu took a deep breath.
With a quiet exhale,
the urge to scratch his chest somewhat eased.
With his head still
hot from the heat, Nozomu once again recalled the training he had just done.
"Even though I've
been told that I have to deal with my unique skill myself ...... ~!"
Nozom felt a tingling
sensation in his head.
At the same time, a
fragmented image flashed through his mind.
(Tet, good work.)
(Gosh~. Why do I have
to dress like this in human form~.)
(I already told you,
didn't I? If you're the head of a country, you need to have the dignity to
match it. Tet is a disappointment on the inside, so you have to do something
about your appearance at least, for now, right?)
(Uuu, Mikael is
terrible...)
"This is .......
Another one of her memories..."
The shadow of a woman
who appeared to be Tiamat, who was shouting in protest, and the shadow of
Mikael, who was letting out an astonished voice.
It was the memory of
Tiamat that Nozomu had glimpsed before when he had lost himself in anger and in
sync with Tiamat.
The two of them shone
as if backlit, almost invisible to Nozomu. However, the fact that he could now
see them, even if only slightly, whereas two weeks ago he could not see them at
all, aggravated Nozomu's frustration even more.
(Am I gradually
becoming more in sync with Tiamat? Or is it a sign that I am beginning able to
control the [Soul-Sealing Chains]? No, the control time has hardly increased.
Then what exactly happened ......)
Twenty percent
anticipation and eighty percent anxiety mingled in Nozomu's chest.
The figures of Tiamat
and Mikael disappeared like the ebbing tide in just a few seconds.
However, the anxiety
and anticipation that welled up in Nozomu's chest were like mud, accumulating
in the depths of his heart.
