SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD The rose blooms red
Betty's info wasn't totally reliable. All she knew was what she was told to do and nothing more. But Rosewell already expected as much and already had a means of getting things from her. Betty was a naïve young girl in her mid teens. By giving her a name, Rosewell took advantage of that and got her to open up to him. He got other information like the layout of the enemy territory, the drop point of her mission and a few other information that were really helpful. Rosewell didn't waste time in informing the others of what had happened and they all ready to jump into action. Everyone prepared with haste and were ready to go in just a few minutes. But before they left, Mina decided to see Betty. She walked into the room where Betty was and was shocked by the young girl's reaction. As soon as Betty saw Mina she immediately ran to the farthest corner of the room and screamed "DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!!" at the top of her voice. but Mina slowly approached her anyway. "I know y
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD The lightning strikes through
Yen laid unconscious with almost no breath in his lungs, his pulse was so little that it could barely be felt. His heart beat as if it was about to give up, and his body was so cold that he could be declared dead. But Mina had no time to grieve over Yen's condition. As she knelt beside him crying, a scout came to report that a large army had been spotted outside the city walls. She immediately stood up and left the room saying ,"let's go pay them back" as she wiped her tears. Mina made her way to the military assembly ground and called out "STORM RIDERS!!!" And in a matter of seconds, her entire unit was assembled. They numbered about one-thousand with fifty-five elites and all were ready for battle. The others also assembled their own units and got ready to march out into battle. Inumaki with his 'ground breakers', Lee with his 'shuan-gou' unit, Susan with the rescue team, and Yamato with the king's army. Rosewell refused to lead any unit. He just wanted to run into t
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD Peace was never an option
Yen walked up to Mina and said to her "let me give you a hand." as he kissed her forehead. Then he took a few steps forward and snapped his fingers, releasing a strong electromagnetic pulse throughout the battlefield and causing every machinery to stop functioning. Then he set his gaze upon Albus and his killing intent was felt by many. He walked slowly towards Albus who was backing away in fear. "That was a nice exploding act you performed earlier" Yen said as he continued walking. His eyes were fully sparking with lightning and so was the entirety of his body. The Sparks of lightning were so intense that every step he took left burn marks on the ground as he walked. "You're supposed to be dead" Albus said in a horrified tone as he continued to back away. "HOW THE HELL ARE YOU STILL ALIVE!!" he yelled as he turned and started running. Yen followed right behind him, repeating the words "why are you running?" "Why are you running?" "Why are you running?" "Wh
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD Violence is due
"Let the air bear witness" "Let the earth bear witness" "Let the sun bear witness" "Let the morning bear witness" "On this sacred day" "We bind our lives" "By flesh and blood" "By mind and soul" "By life and death" "One shall not depart without the other" "If one departs, the other shall follow" "We seal this bond with the power of death himself" "It cannot be shaken" "It can never be broken" As soon as Hanzo and Jade recited this spell, they were bound for life. If one of them was to die the other would follow immediately. Even though they worked for the order where romance was highly prohibited and punishable by.... well no one knows exactly what happens to those who get caught except for the fact that they were never seen again, these two lovebirds were still brave enough to perform such an act. "So what now?" Jade asked "We're now bound death but we are being separated in life" she lamented "I know you're worried but you have to calm down" Hanzo sai
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD Hear the thunder
"I always wanted to be a hero. I wanted to be the one that everyone could put their faith in no matter the situation. I wanted them to have no fear as long as I was around." "But here I lay. Alone, waiting for my strength to return while the enemy slays my people." "I feel helpless" "I feel weak" "I feel pain" Shin lamented as he laid on the ground unable to make a move. Tear flowed out of his eyes as he looked up into the sky. Then suddenly, a voice came to him saying "Get up!' "But I can't" Shin replied "Get up you foolish son of mine" the voice said again "There is no weakness In you" "The numbness in your feet is a lie" "The fear in your heart is an illusion" "The pain you feel does not exist" "So get up" "Get up, oh son of grace" "Get up and fight" "Let them feel your power" "LET THEM HEAR THE THUNDER!!" Suddenly, Shin no longer felt any pain in his body. His breathing was fine, his movements were perfect.
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD The great Exodus
"Are you ok my love?" Shin said as he ran swiftly to his wife's side. "Don't worry" he said "You're safe now" "You and our child are both safe" he said as placed his hand on her stomach. "I know you're tired from all the hard work" Hannah said. "Just rest for a while" she added as she placed Shin's head upon her laps. "By the way..." "What's with the new look?" She asked with a curious smile "Oh, this?" Shin replied "It's just temporary" "I'll be back to normal in no time" "The others still aren't back yet?" Shin asked with his eyes getting heavy "No, not yet" Hannah replied "Ugh c'mon" Shin whined as he fell asleep. By the time Shin woke up, it was already evening and everyone had returned. Kento, Hiro, Xiao, Ryu, and Lana who went beast hunting with their parents had just returned before Shin woke up. On the other hand, Mina, Rosewell, Susan and Landon arrived earlier with very important news. "They want to sink the isl
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD Answering questions
We have reached the end of the Exodus arc and are about to advance into a new arc in this tale. But before we go on, there are a few things I would like to shed more light on and hopefully help you understand the story better. This will be written in the form of a Q&A session. The questions are asked by Shiro, Mia, Yamato, Tanaka and Endo. The answers are given by Orie and Shin. "Who are the Cardinals?" Shiro asked. The Cardinals were the best of the elites trained by the Prophets. They each represent the four cardinal points of the earth and are tasked with specific duties. Apart from Hanzo the north cardinal that was mentioned, there was also Jade of the east and Genji of the west. "So that's where Genji comes in" he said. "What of the south cardinal?" He asked "There was no south cardinal after my mother" Shin answered almost immediately. "So Mina was a cardinal before she escaped?" Mia asked. "That is correct" Shin answered. "I have a question"
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD Battle scars
A few days had gone by since Orie and Shin told the tales of the past and everything was on the way to going back to normal. Shiro was back to evading the minor hits that were put on him and Mia was back to following him everywhere. Victor could finally work peacefully in his lab and Yamato went back to his restaurant job. Endo had nothing to do so he joined Yamato, and as for Tanaka... well, she had her reasons for letting him stay. Dave was back in control of his body with no memory of what happened. He knew something was missing but didn't try to figure it out because of the fears he had. He just continued his life as if nothing happened even though Shiro kept looking at him differently. Due to the damage caused when the hunters attacked, school remained closed and all the staff and students had some free time on their hands. Some went to parties, some went to games, some went on picnics, some even travelled. But Mia decided to use her time to see her father. All Orie c

SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD The bird and the beast
From within the circle came forth a huge bird of prey; a hawk. It appeard to be fully covered in silver. Just by looking at it, one could tell that its beak was harder than a rock and that its claws were as sharp as blades, even its wings didn't seem flying was all they could do. At this point in the battle where pride was being cast aside, the same thought ran through the minds of everyone watching. "NOW THE REAL FIGHT BEGINS" "Go" at this command from Chris, the bird threw itself at Orie with incredible speed. Orie evaded the bird without problem but what came next was quite challenging. After evading an attack from above he found himself facing one from below. Not many can escape such attacks from Chris. He would use the bird to make his opponents dodge in a certain manner, then he would go in for the real attack when their balance had been compromised. It was quite an effective move, but just not for Orie. "How is this possible?" Chris thought to himself as he
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD The market day
"This is my day" "This is my day" "This is my day" It kept repeating but Natsumi could not understand what it meant" "This is my day" She knew she had forgotten something "This is my day" She was sure she had forgotten something "This is my day" Something that would help her discern the situation. "This is my day" It stopped as soon as she realized what it meant. She remembered that when she thought it was Orie's birthday, he had told her these words. She remembered how he told her of the four market days of his tribe and that he shared his name with one of them. She remembered that he told her how the days affected his power, and this made her the least surprised person among the audience when Orie got back up on his feet. "WHAT... THE... F***!!!!?" Ellie screamed at the camera "How much blood does this guy have?" "He's lost so much yet he is still standing" "What kind of immortal dragon sh** is this" "This is not easy to believ
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD Silver blade
Chris Vanadium. The only reason he didn't make it to the finals as much as Cal was that he faced Waramaki in most of the semifinals. He is one of the few people that have been able to beat Cal in the previous tournaments. He is also a one time champion and the one he beat to earn that title was none other than Fuji Waramaki. There were many reasons to fear him, but most feared attribute of his was the speed of his blade. Yes, he fights with a sword and he is really good with it; so good that a large percentage of his matches end in less than a minute. Anyone that saw his previous match was immediately reminded of how dangerous he was, even some that had faith in Orie in the previous match lost it for this one. To sum things up on how dangerous he was, the chance of him making it to the final match of the current tournament was ninety-nine percent. Though Orie's match was the first of round one, in round two, his match was the third. Not many had high hopes for this match beca
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD The doubt of many
There was complete silence in all parts of the stadium. It wasn't that people had nothing to say but what could they say that could explain what just happened before their eyes? They just watched as the referee ran in to confirm the outcome. It took longer than usual as the referee also had his doubts but in the end he had no choice but to declare Cal unable to continue. The silence broke immediately he stood up to declare Orie the winner. The doubt of many began to flow out in words. "IT'S A LIE!!" "THIS IS BULLSHIT!!" "THIS GAME IS RIGGED!!" There was no word of doubt that was not spoken at that moment. Even when the medics came out to put Cal on a stretcher, people still thought it was an act. What could Orie do? He had just won a match and no one believed it. There was hardly anyone cheering for him, all the loud voices expressed nothing but doubt, hate, and disbelief. Despite all the hate he was getting, he just cracked a smile and walked out of the arena
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD Fight like me
You never truly appreciate a miracle unless you heard of it before it happened. That moment when the thing you thought was just too impossible begins to unfold before you for the very first time. There is no look more precious than that of one who has had such experience. Miracles happen only once. After that, it becomes a possibility. Cal and Orie were initially rated on a seven to one ratio. This meant that the officials of this tournament believed that Cal was at least seven times more powe6r than Orie and seven times more likely to win. At the current time the ratio had become ten to one. It seemed hopeless for the few that had put their faith in Orie. The match wasn't over but the situation made them feel the winner was already decided. "What is he doing in there?" "Does he have a death wish?" "Just give up already!!"even some of those that were on his opponent's side felt pity for him but Orie was not one to dwell on pity. He could not hear their words, al
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD The strong man
"Ellie Porter here" "Live from the inside of the stadium and best seat in the house" "The starting buzzer for the match has been sounded but neither of the contenders have moved from their starting positions" "Cal is taking his time to charge up his power but we have no idea why Orie hasn't moved yet" "I still stand on my support for him but he has done what the rest of the world consider to be the greatest mistake in the history of this tournament" Ellie was right. Everyone that won against Cal in the previous tournament was powerful but that wasn't the only reason they won; they were able to win because they stopped him from charging up properly. The last person that let him charge up fully got knocked out in one hit and that was the expectation most of the crowd had for Orie. Soon, Cal had finished charging up. One could tell by the steam-like aura that could be seen emanating from his body. He got ready to move as the cheering of the crowd got louder; he was con
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD Day one
Just in case you were wondering where the fight was happening, the SHIN SEKAI company built a large stadium in the middle of the island where all roads cross. It was not exactly a hard place to find; in fact it was the most findable place in all of the island. The city was crowded with people from all over the world who were there for many different reasons. With the exception of those that came to spectate the matches, the most common visitors to this event were scouts and reporters. The tournament may not do much for the teachers, but it had the power to determine the future of the students that participated. "Ellie Porter here, reporting live from stadium one" a woman spoke with a clear voice as she stood with a microphone in front of a camera man. "As you can see, people from all over the world have come to witness the first match of the new world tournament" "This tournament was first introduced thirteen years ago on the same year that the school was built"
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD The goal ahead
78: The goal ahead The new world tournament was one unique tournament. Despite the fact that it was held by a school and it's participants were staff and students, it still managed to draw worldwide attention. One contributing factor to this could be that the Shin-sekai academy was a prestigious school and was attended by the children of many of the world's elites but the major factor was that it proved to be more entertaining than many others in the world. The structure of the tournament was divided. The teachers' tournament took place first then the students' came after. After winners had been decided from both sides, the two winners would then have a face off. The winner of the previous teacher's tournament was Fuji Waramaki who had remained undefeated for five years. He also won all the face-offs with the student champions. The teachers tournament was full of old faces and the only two new faces in the tournament were Orie and Natsumi. Not many expected a different re
SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD Gale to storm
"The breeze in the west shall become the storm in the east" "It shall become a powerful force in the north" "And a sight of awe in the south" "And when it returns to the west..." "It shall be unstoppable" "My dear boy, Andrew Clipper" "These are not mere words" "This is your story" On hearing this, Andrew opened his eyes. He was on his knees and Orie stood beside him, placing a hand on his head. The room was dark and was lit by seven candles, and there was no one else in the room with them. Though all the doors and windows in the room were closed an intense wind blew within it. Gradually, the wind got stronger and blew ferociously around the empty room. It was strange that the seven candles didn't go off. "You are a storm that will sweep through all" "A wind that can move lands" "A reckoning force of greatness" "An unbreakable wind" "That, is what you are" Shiro was waiting for them outside the room. Throughout his the time he was wa
