by fnovelpiaA brief anomaly was observed, but neither I, Amy, nor Lane paid it any attention.
The stopped limousine started moving again, and our escort vehicle followed us.
“Is it more relaxed than before?”
Rain muttered while looking at his tablet PC.
Her little fingers move around the minimap.
“Jeff. It’s hard.”
“Shine?”
Shine’s appearance is a little different than usual.
She clung to me with a frown on her face.
She was strangely more clingy than usual, and it didn’t seem like she was simply being childish.
I hugged her with an awkward smile.
Shine, soft and warm, fluttered and looked out the window.
“Shine?”
“It’s still okay.”
I was smiling just now.
While I was taking care of Shine, the limousine carrying us was able to leave District 7.
A huge barrier separating cities from one another.
The moment I passed through the huge door in front of me, a wide road opened up.
Roads, roads, and roads.
If I were to describe the surrounding scenery in words, it would be like this.
A large number of vehicles passed by on the roads that were tangled like spider webs.
The limousine we were in also went up that road.
Rain’s expression didn’t seem to soften.
The more she manipulated the minimap, the more her face hardened.
“Amy-”
“I know.”
Amy, who had been sitting still, suddenly sat up.
When I, who was hugging Shine, looked up with a puzzled expression, she smiled and spoke.
“Don’t worry, Jeff.”
“Are you worried…?”
“Yeah.”
Her words were directed at me, and they were also directed at herself.
“Jeff!”
At that moment, Shine, who was in my arms, suddenly twisted her body and got up.
Was it because I was hugging you so tightly that I felt suffocated?
I released the strength in my hands and let Shine go.
And at that moment, I could see an unidentified black object flying outside the window.
A long, stretched body.
Coarse fur blowing in the wind.
Pointed ears that stand out on top of the head.
dog?
Is there a dog flying outside the window?
It was a moment when such questions arose.
A beast too large to be a dog reached out toward the window.
It felt like time had stopped.
While everything was going slowly.
Shine, who was in my arms, reached out her hand towards the unidentified beast.
Immediately after, Amy’s body began to move at an incredibly fast speed, as if it was free from the influence of time.
Amy’s long legs begin to soar into the sky.
The foot that dented the ceiling of the car body created a subtle distortion.
A strange flash of light runs across her feet.
Amy’s expression contorts fiercely.
After that-
bang!
The floor of the limousine was torn apart, creating a huge bang.
Amy’s legs fell towards the ground, drawing a white line.
It was immediately after that that time, which had stopped, began to flow.
A limousine flips into thin air.
The strong impact caused the doors on both sides to burst apart, and the aftereffects of the impact pushed the beast that was floating in the air.
A beast that bounces back with a pile of broken debris.
Because it happened so suddenly, I couldn’t react at all.
I watch the situation unfold with a blank expression on my face.
Hair rising in all directions.
Shine’s eyes meet mine.
She reached out to me.
“Sha… .”
thud!
The moment when the car body that was floating in the air falls to the ground.
Amy snatched me and Shine’s bodies away and held me in her arms.
I felt a big shock in my arms and legs, but it didn’t hurt much.
“Amy… ?”
When I looked up at her in surprise, Amy smiled awkwardly.
A completely different laugh than usual.
Amy looked uneasy for some reason, and I too began to feel uneasy.
“Rain.”
“Huh?”
“Please take care of the kids.”
Amy smiled slightly and held Shine out to Lane.
As I turned around urgently and reached out my hand towards her, Rain grabbed my hand.
“Amy!”
Amy jumped outside and started moving away at a rapid pace.
“I stared blankly at her as she began to run away, engulfed in a blurry flash of light,” said Rain.
“Don’t worry, Amy. She’s always been safe.”
“Amy… .”
I hugged my bag and looked at Amy’s back.
“By the way, you’re being a bit more persistent than usual.”
Rain muttered softly and stuffed the tablet PC into my bag.
“It’s expensive, so don’t lose it.”
I nodded to Rain’s firm words.
I felt an inexplicable sense of intimidation at the sight of Rain, who was showing an image completely different from usual.
“Shall we go?”
Lane jumps out of the mangled car.
When I saw him extending his hand towards us, it seemed like he was telling us to get out of the car and move.
I got out of the car, holding onto Shine’s hand tightly.
Explosions and huge flashes of light begin to rise from a distance.
Broken debris from the road scatters across the sky.
Leaving that situation behind, Shine Lane and I start running on the road.
“Rain… .”
“I know too… !”
The three of us were similar in height.
So, that means the running speed is also similar.
The running speed of me, Shine, and Rain was never fast.
It was about the speed at which an average adult male could run lightly, and it was enough to keep up with the speed at which we were running at full speed.
“Where did Rain’s teammates go?”
“I don’t know either!”
Rain’s yellow hair fluttered in the wind as he ran ahead.
Is it because of the fighting happening everywhere?
Cars speeding on the road stopped and showed no intention of moving.
Cookies and cookies!
At that moment, a huge vibration was heard behind me, along with the sound of the ground turning over.
The moment I looked back in bewilderment, I couldn’t help but be terrified.
“Rain!”
The road was collapsing.
When I called her in an urgent voice, Rain looked back and bit her lip hard.
“This way!”
Rain, who was running forward, grabbed Shine and me by the hand and started running towards the side of the road.
“Rain?”
“You have to run!”
Road collapse is accelerating.
Shine, Rain, and I ran as fast as we could and reached the end of the road.
“You’re running…?”
I swallowed dry saliva and looked at my feet.
At the end of the road, the moment I passed the huge guardrail, my vision was dizzy at the dizzying cliff that appeared before my eyes.
I shook my head as I watched the approaching collapse of the road.
Whether I fell this way or that way, I fell down anyway.
The first one to fly was Rain.
The back of Rain jumping into the air with a small footstep sound.
Shine and I also jumped down after her.
A brief sense of buoyancy was followed by a simultaneous fall.
I can feel the rough wind brushing against my skin.
The moment we saw the ground getting closer, the road we were standing on belatedly burst open.
I couldn’t even scream.
I closed my eyes tightly in preparation for the pain that was to come.
But no matter how long I waited, the pain never came.
Rather, I couldn’t help but open my eyes wide at the soft, cool feeling that enveloped my skin.
“Water…?”
“There’s no water around, so this is all I can do!”
What surrounded us was a large water droplet.
The appearance of slowly falling downwards with small ripples.
As I reached out my finger and touched the water drop with a strange sensation, the round sphere shook violently.
We fell slowly, engulfed in water droplets, and were able to land safely on the ground.
The moment it hit the ground, the large water droplet immediately burst out.
“There’s no water…?”
I, who had landed on the ground, raised my head at the strange sensation I felt in the sky.
The sky is starting to turn black.
The white clouds turned gray.
The moment Rain landed on the ground, he was reaching out his hands toward the sky.
“Quickly… . Quickly… !”
Rain muttered softly.
A desperate voice flows out.
Every time her hand twitched, the dark clouds in the sky grew larger.
“A little more!”
bang!
Lights flash in the sky.
A subtle sensation accompanied by a loud noise caused lights to flash before my eyes.
“More!”
The dark clouds that began to gather at Rain’s gesture completely covered the entire area.
A darkness falls without a single ray of light.
“Jeff…? What’s wrong?”
I sat down against a nearby wall, gasping for breath.
Shine, who came closer to me upon seeing me like that, reached out to me with a worried expression.
Paget-!
But a sudden surge of light forced Shine to back away.
“Jeff… ?”
Shine looked at me in disbelief.
I too looked up at her hand with confused eyes.
The hand that had touched the blue light was glowing red.
Dismissed-!
Hair stands out in spikes with blue light.
It felt like I had a severe case of static electricity.
The manifestation of abilities beyond one’s control.
I too looked at Shine with confused eyes.
Boom!
The sky, covered with dark clouds, once again emitted light.
“I’m so frustrated… .”
I frowned and fiddled with the bracelet wrapped around my wrist.
A strange sensation enveloped my heart, as if it was about to explode.
What stops it is the ability suppression bracelet that Amy wears.
But now that Amy was gone, there was no one who could take off the bracelet.
“Pour it out!”
Rain, who had been stretching his hands toward the sky, shouted and brought his hands toward the ground.
Immediately after, a torrential downpour of water poured down from the sky.
Kwaaah-!
The water poured out as if a faucet had been turned on, engulfing everything around it.
Rain was the conductor.
The water pouring down from the sky moved like a giant dragon at her gesture.
The water dragon split into several branches and poured down towards the explosions that rose in all directions.
The sight of Rain commanding the water dragon was very cool.
As I was watching her, forgetting even my frustration, I was able to spot a small flame rising next to Rain.
What is that?
“Rain. Over there… .”
It was the moment when he spoke to Lane, who was preoccupied with directing the water.
As soon as Rain turned to look at me, the flames floating next to Rain began to expand rapidly.
And I could recall an ability from that appearance.
Pyrokinesis.
A person with the ability to speak.
Although there are great differences in how each person uses it and in the ability to express it, all systems that utilize fire are classified as pyrotechnic systems.
be careful!
He shouted at Rain.
He reached out to her with his mouth open.
Was it after the shout, or before, that the growing fire exploded?
No, the words themselves seemed incomplete.
In the slowly flowing time.
A giant water droplet was created that began to surround Rain’s body.
But it was a little late.
The unsteadily shaking water droplets could not completely block the flames that caused the huge explosion.
Kwaaang-!
A loud explosion that came late.
Rain’s body, her face distorted and her vision shaking, was thrown out of sight.
I blinked.
The place where Rain had been was blackened with soot.
The faint smell of ash was carried away by the rain and subsided in an instant.
bang!
My skin felt tingly.
The sky was still covered with dark clouds.
My skin would tingle every time a blue dragon appeared moving above it.
“Coolook!”
Rain, who had been flying a little way away from us, squirmed and coughed.
“Ouch! Ouch!”
The more she coughed, the more dark red blood poured out.
I could only watch the scene blankly.
“Rain!”
Shine ran towards Rain with an urgent expression.
The white hair disappears from sight.
My gaze was directed slightly away from Rain.
At the end of the road, the figure of a man begins to appear faintly.
A man wearing a red baseball jacket was walking toward us, holding a small flame in his hand.
bang!
Once again, a blue dragon appeared from the dark clouds.
He was yelling at me.
Clothes that are soaking wet.
Hair that gets wet and starts to settle calmly.
Ambient sounds soaked in rain.
The man who had been walking slowly toward us stopped after maintaining a certain distance.
He raised his hand without saying a word.
The sight of flames that do not waver even an inch even when hit by rain pouring down from the sky.
The man’s hand shook slightly.
bang!
The blue dragon appeared once again.
This time he spoke to me even louder.
The end of the line of sight.
I looked back at Shine and Rain with a strange feeling.
A small flame was rising next to Shine, who was hugging Rain.
ah.
A strange sensation enveloped my whole body.
bang-!
The sight turned white along with a rough sound.
The sound of rain coming from all directions subsided into white.
The dragon that appeared this time fell directly on me.
I couldn’t hear anything.
My vision is narrow.
The blue lights blooming all around were blinding.
The wet water streams scattered in all directions.
A blue dragon danced among the white hair that rose up in a fluttering manner.
bang-!
The explosion was heard again.
The body moved reflexively.
The moment you take one step, just one step.
I could do what I wanted.
I stood still and let out a long breath.
Phagecic-!
A blue current dissipating into the air.
Shine and Rain in my arms.
A blue light flashes.
The blue current that had been lingering where I had first stood eventually dissipated.
“Jeff?”
No voice came out.
I moved my gaze to where Shine and Rain were sitting.
Blackened soot marks and the remains of a twisted road, as if a bomb had exploded, come into view.
“Cluck, cluck!”
The sound of Rain’s coughing can be heard from within her arms.
I carefully put the two people down.
“Jeff… . It’s Jeff, right?”
Shine’s anxious face entered my white-tinted vision.
I reached out to her.
When will I get the same greeting?
Shine’s face, which had been filled with anxiety, suddenly relaxes.
“Jeff!”
Dismissed-!
A blue light flashed and the bracelet on her hand crumbled.
