It was briefly mentioned once in the story but there is a reputation among the Japanese chi using society about four individual known as the Four seasons of Japan. The four seasons are the young geniuses of their generation as well as among the society. Aikyo Ayumi is Spring because of her beauty resembling Spring and proficiency in both eastern and western magic, Ryosuke is Autumn because he is multitalented in exorcism and martial arts that are numerous like the everchanging colors of the leaves during the season. He is also the strongest out of the seasons and the most mysterious. And Kazuha is Winter because of her proficiency in martial arts. The one who is to be Summer will be revealed later.
Cai Kang is feeling the energy of the full moon and absorbing it into her very being. It feels serene and cool while Yang energy feels warm and exhilarating. To truly feel this from Yin energy is one of the things she enjoys as a girl. She grew up learning martial arts and sometimes doesn't even sleep just to cultivate her chi and make sure she can be more proficient in using the energy she possesses as well as those around her. Cai Kang may not have developed a reputation like Ryosuke and Kazuha but she prides that she is much stronger than people had believed. She felt a connection to this village. This energy is familiar and makes her feel welcome. It is euphoric. Why is it so peaceful?"Guys, wake up."Cai Kang opened her eyes and was about to tell Kazuha off but she was pale on the face. The others woke up."I found out something you guys need to know." Kazuha puts the notes on the table. "Before, Hirate-kun came here. He did research on the history of the village as well as surro
“Luminescent will be there in a few hours. They need reasons to investigate after all. You need to hold on until that time.” Wencheng said through the compact mirror.“I hate the government, sometimes.” Kazuha mutters. “Whatever you do, you can't give them a chance to warn the village. The moment that happens then things will get ugly. One thing we have to our advantage is that we have technique and fighting experience.” She said. “We'll hold on as long as we can so do what you have to do.”“According to what Cai Kang said, none of these people are human anymore. We can’t fight them all at once without killing them.” Fukumi said.“They already got piles of evidence against them as well as witnesses once they come to Kyushu. It won't be long.” Wencheng said.“There is no body of water that is big enough to take all four of us so it must only be Cai Kang who goes. There's a well nearby filled with enough water for one person. We just need to hold on until the others are safe then we can
Meanwhile back in the village, the villagers all look rabid and their sclera is yellow. They even have fangs like they are out for blood. None of these people are human anymore. They threw away their humanity. After Cai Kang disappeared, the other three were questioned by the villagers but upon trying to take them away, they resisted heavily.It is already a miracle that the three are getting by they all struggled to fight them off. First, Kazuha had already used her suggestion technique to get them to sleep. It worked for some but not for the entire village. The children and a few of the elderly are all out of commission but most of the adults are partially resistant to the charm as it has weakened them a bit instead of putting them to sleep. In addition, while fighting them, she was hit on her neck which not only threw off her breath but also injured her voice box so she couldn't even speak without feeling pain much less properly use the technique. They put up a good fight as they fo
It has been three days since Kyushu. Cai Kang is dressed in his Mao suit with a golden dragon embroidered on the entire top. This outfit was prepared in advance by the old man. As old-fashioned as he could be, he at least has some good taste. Noriko is currently brushing his hair as she insists on doing it herself. Cai Kang rarely gets to dress like this so he had some help from the twins when it comes to formal wear and hosting the Omiai itself."I get that you like to dress me up but why are you my guide through the Omiai and not any of your sisters?" He complained.The twins are cunning and now he feels like this whole thing will go wrong.Noriko is still braiding his hair and her mouth is full of pins. "Oh, shut up. Kazu-nee did the preparations but for some reason she had to get herself injured and now I have to take care of it. Besides, I contributed to the list too." She mumbled.Cai Kang stopped the urge to groan or snap back at her. Kazuha and Ryosuke are recovering at the Shi
In Cai Kang's room, there is a large bowl of water with the locket at the bottom where Cai Kang is staring at. However, instead of his reflection, he gets a mirage of his father. "WHAT?!" He yells in genuine shock. His expression matches his voice. He loves to overreact to everything.Cai Kang had the urge to cover his ears, expecting this from him. "Yeah, It's been almost a week now." Cai Kang said."Why did you have to tell me this now? This is wonderful news although I am disappointed it isn't useful in offense or defense but useful nonetheless." Changming said.Brutally honest as always, you old bastard. "Because I know you'll enjoy it." Cai Kang said with a sarcastic tone.Changming ignored his words. "I had recently bought a new piece of land here in Shenmi for cheap. It's a tropical island in the southern China Sea."That genuinely surprised Cai Kang. The southern Chinese isles are where most of the Shenmi Chinese nobility have their vacations except a few small tribes who migr
Cai Kang was visibly surprised and Kazuha still hasn't made an expression and for the first time, he is unsure how she is feeling. "Sister? B-But you or anyone el-else didn't say you have a sister." He stammered. Fuck, his stammer habit almost got out. He cringed heavily on that sentence.Kazuha sighs a bit. "I could tell you the story. It seems you have questions anyway." She rubs her arms out of cold.Cai Kang notices how cold she is getting and he snaps his finger and the area around them melted the snow and the ground beneath turns bright and green, clear of any snow and the air grew warming. Kazuha took off her coat and scarf while her eyes roam at this new scenery. Cai Kang saw that she had a choker on, an item he saw her wear a lot. It was the one he always sees her wearing but it couldn't completely hide the scar from when her throat was hit by one of the villagers from Kyushu. Noticing his guilty expression and eyes on her neck, she covered it back with the scarf. "It'll heal
A male individual, with sunglasses, sunhat, and an unbuttoned hawaiian shirt shows off his muscular body and a lollipop in his mouth. He was talking to the residents at a beach, listening to what they had to say. He pulls the lollipop out of his mouth and stares at them half-heartedly. “You sure?” He asked bluntly. “Yes, All of them are all between fourteen and twenty years old.” answered an old man. "They just all disappeared almost out of thin air. There just happened to be one there but the moment you turn away, they're gone.""And after a head count, we realized that all of them were single and unmarried. We can only assume bad intentions so we need to ask you."“Do you know who took them?” The man saidThen the rest of the residents brought large chests, each carried by two men and were put in front of him. The rows of chests are enormous. This kind of wealth can only be given by a king.“They left us these.” The man opened the chests, seeing engraved gold coins and after the ma
Cai Kang is gagged and her eyes were covered while she is being carried by the big one wearing armor. The plan worked. She will be taken into where everyone else is. With her, they will be better protected. She will take all the girls back to Japan and hopefully get to kick every ass she sees. "She is quite a sturdy woman, similar to the others on that island but she seems more built than them." The man who is holding her said."They all put up quite the fight for mere children." The other one said."But that boy with the white hair is a fire user. Even among the talented individuals in Luminescent, that is quite the rare ability since it isn't magic." The one in the middle said."Where are we going anyway? Where are you taking me?" Cai Kang asked. She cannot see it but she could feel the one holding her captive smirk. "The place where dreams are born. A land of riches and gold. The strongest in the world are born are raised, The Island where it can reach to far corners of the globe
He watched from a distance as the cannons behind him fire. Everyone who can fly join him in the skies while those stuck on the ground and water remain there.Cai Kang feels like he's on fire. He is feeling the most out of this. The thrill, the excitement, the need to cry for blood, it's exhilarating. He told everyone to stand back. He volunteered on this part of the island because it is their weakest point. Looking forward, there are too many demons for him to see if Lufen is there. As much as he enjoys a good massacre, he would rather get it over with and join the others. This is the perfect opportunity try something first. He stared at Kazuha who is feeling the water below her. She is powerful but no one else has sensory abilities like her so she is delegated to staying behind and not on the front lines. That's good. Now that she's here, it looks like he is going to try that move now. He flew up in the air and with a deep breath, he says softly to the approaching invaders,"die"The
Cai Kang was looking around, realizing he is in front of the Furukawa pharmacy. It was dark out with barely any light. He has no trouble seeing in the dark yet he has a foreboding feeling as he heard something in the distance; the sound of crying. He slowly head towards there to see Kazuha, on her knees and in tears. Her hair appears to be a bit longer in length. She is in the arms of another boy he doesn't recognize who attempts to comfort her and hum a song which got her to stop for a bit and take it in. The boy has his hair in a short ponytail and has dark eyes. He seems to be intimate with her as she didn't push him away. He appears to have the same pained expression. Cai Kang can't even feel jealous right now. Whatever they are going through, it must especially hurt if she cries like this. He has seen her cry before not appearing this vulnerable.Then the two looked up to see Cai Kang. Their faces grimaced upon seeing him. Taken aback, he then looked around to see a mysterious fi
Kazuha drank the tea and is surprised by the taste and covered her mouth in surprise. "Wow, you're right. This is really good." she puts down the cup. "So this is what the legendary tea of the gods taste like. I never thought I would ever try this.""No kidding." Nuying said while stuffing her mouth with a pastry. "If I were you, I would've hoard it all. You don't seem like the type to share." she said.Kurai smirked with pride. "Well, we are all gonna need it. You might as well try something good before we all die." he joked but the girls didn't find that funny."Sorry," he quickly apologized."I'm surprised you invited me. You and I don't exactly have had a casual conversation in a while." Kazuha said while taking a sip."Actually there is something I need to talk to you about. I met the benefactor." he said."Really? Who does he look like?""Just some british explorer who looks like he's from Tarzan.""Tarzan?" Nuying bemused."British explorer?" Kazuha repeated."It's just a disgui
Both Kurai and Cai Kang are unsure on what to make of this. The girl on the other hand is quite enthusiastic."You called her Run'er. I thought she has no name." Cai Kang said, hesitantly sitting on his seat. What is with this Alice tea party nonsense? he thought."That is her name, of course.""I thought Ignorance aren't allowed to have one." Kurai said with suspicious eyes."They are not allowed to have mortal names every time they reincarnate." the figure said pouring tea and handed the cups to them. "That doesn't mean she doesn't need to be referred to the name of her first life even when she's only half a soul."The girl ate and sipped her tea with surprisingly good manners."She's not scared of me at all." Kurai noted while stuffing his mouth."I had to temporarily erase her fear of you when we're in here. Besides it is a dream, she is well mannered in her dreams than in real life." then he stopped for a brief moment before talking, "We're supposed to meet Avoidance as well but i
Cai Kang read through the three volumes of his formerly favorite manga. He saw the Chinese southern isles, the sudden kidnapping of girls in their school as well as the rescue, the prophecy of Wings but worded differently.To explain the premise, Purple Dawn is about a new era of an entire generation who develop superpowers and created groups or gangs who use their abilities. The main character and his group all decide to fight for their independence against the government who has nefarious plans for them.The manga may mirror their lives but the plot, character names and anything that references real life is completely different but the clues are there to figure out. There is one part where Cai Kang got the prophecy in real life was replaced by Kazuha receiving it instead.After finding out that the other versions of everyone, he spend all night laughing and making fun of everyone and everything in the manga. Daisuke is stupid, playfully reckless and impulsive who likes to annoy those
Warning: mention of sexual assaultAfter Kurai asked Hoshino to draw him his past, he and Cai Kang left the room leaving her to her work. "You know, you may not like what you hear." Cai Kang said.Kurai shrugged. "I heard worse. The worst thing I could hear is that my mom is dead.""And if she's not?"Kurai is mentally unsure and his expressions do not escape Cai Kang."I don't know." he admits before finding the others. They are all training in the courtyard. Upon noticing them, they stopped. "That went on longer than expected." Xianliang said before smirking. "The locals said that you two became quite strong. We saw you fly earlier. What other moves did you get?""You really wanna try?"Xianliang nodded excitedly. Cai Kang then motion him to come forward. Xianliang ran towards him to make the first move but the the ground protrude and grabbed him by the ankles, letting him fall on the ground."What the?" he saw his feet are stuck. Effortlessly, he broke through and free himself be
Warning: suicide and death mentionLaughter and small praises, baby talk, cries, light, toys, a soothing and familiar scent, a warm embrace, a smile"It is better to think she has abandoned you. It is less painful that way.""What will you do when you do find her? She wouldn't want to come back even if you're her son."Kurai opened his eyes while laying down on a lounge chair, deep in thought. He prides himself on remembering any smell since birth. This is one of them but he never brags about it. During his monthly rampages, he dreams of it and that is all the details he could get.His mother.Unlike his old man, he held no grudges against her. People keep saying that she abandoned him but a lot of things contradict their claims. He heard approaching footsteps and saw Cai Kang."Get up. We're going to find the white dragon."Kurai looked up in disbelief. No one ever discussed anything about the White Dragon except that she's a girl and they've been so busy with their own business that
Cai Kang was meditating. He has been training his newfound abilities but he is now focusing on unlocking the seventh chakra point. Unlike the past ones, this one requires something from him. It is to rid himself of earthly desires and gain spiritual harmony. It is also an out of body experience. It isn't something he needs to rid himself of but rather pure sincerity.It takes a while for a normal person to unlock all seven because the last one is the hardest. But after some thought, he realized that with his soul and his past lives, his status as the Black Dragon as well as the an impending crisis, how much sincerity would he need? He has heard stories of those who unlock their full power during battle, maybe the same thing might happen to him but it's better safer than sorry to at least try.He felt his own chi reaching the seventh point and his mind went blank for a moment before opening them to Qinghai's Black Mountain. He heard crying and saw a man and a woman holding their babies
Kurai was meditating with his right palm facing out and his left palm folded. His eyes are closed and his mind is calm."Align the bridge to your flaming heart and reach to the home of the starsas the stars also contain fire thus fire can exist beyond the sky.Elements are the same in Heaven and Earth.Fire creates darkness and lightDeath and rebirthHeart and mind must be as calm as a temperate flame but strong as a unbridled infernoTake place in the elements as the elements needs youForget the pain*"Then there was a tap on his head."Wrong. It is Kutsu not Kizu." His instructor said patiently. "You say Kutsu first then Kizu."Kurai is frustrated as the mantra has already made him profusely sweat. He grabbed a towel to dry himself then notice the smell of people outside. Curious, he walk to a sliding door to take a peek and notice a mob of people watching him with excitement especially the girls."Do you wish to go over it again?" His instructor asks.Kurai nodded albeit a bit im
