(Part 2)

Roaring dissolving, Elias smiled removing his helmet as Aigou stared at him bewildered, "No way…"

Elias ruffled his hairs, "Come on, it's alright. Players get out all the times. You don't need to feel sad."

Aigou looked at the ground, "Did that happen because of me… again?"

Elias remembering grasped his shoulders making him look up, "No it didn't! Don't blame yourself, you made no mistake. It was my fault I was careless."

The highschoolers pavilion as silent as a grave emitted rage, disbelief and most of all impatience. (To step out and recall the middle schoolers, the level where they stand and the point they should not cross!)

Elias came back, Senri upon his return stood up.

"Elias Hud Armand, leaving the pitch on the 8th over with 36 runs scored on playing 22 deliveries." Nidou noted down in his diary.

"79 runs in 8 overs…" Alan wondered.

The middleschoolers took their positions as Senri came out of the pavilion.

"Here you go, Elias." Isa smiled handing him a sports drink which he gladly accepted, "Thank you…"

Kazuna sitting beside him patted his back, "Good job."

"As if." Elias joked. 

"But it was indeed great. We aren't jesting." Orion cleared the misconception.

"I know, I know. I am just messing with you." Elias chuckled, keeping the sports bottle aside, he kept a wet towel on his eyes resting his head on the seat's back.

"Elias." Nagi called.

"Hm?" Elias replied.

"The reason you got out… it was the same as the last time right?" Nagi asked as he interrupted, "No, it wasn't. It was entirely my fault…"

"Stop trying to conceal it any longer, it's useless. We all can see right through it now, right Rauf?" Isa turned to Rauf.

Rauf glanced concurring, "He's right. The moment Aigou's Door of Radiance is activated, you start losing your 'Roaring' which creates a gap between you and Aigou. Since, Aigou enhances his ability due to Door of Radiance your connection declines due to lack of connection."

Elias gazing at the cloth smiled giving up. "You're right boss. Geez, nothing can be kept hidden from you hun. Sigh, now that you all know, just do me a favor and do not tell Aigou at any costs, please." he requested.

Isa turned to Zach restless. "Alright, I won't." Nagi told, "But I'll try to find a solution. And, once I do we will tell him and annihilate this problem from the core, deal?" 

"Sigh~ Nagi and his never ending negotiations… alright, deal." Elias replied.

"It's him…" Ryan noticed Senri coming. Aigou who was still dazed stared at the ground. Senri up to middle schoolers surprise instead of coming to the pitch headed over to Alan.

"What is he going?" Cassiel murmured.

"In the rule book it says that a player is timed out1 if he or she doesn't step in the field before three minutes so I have two minutes more to go." Senri said. Standing where the coaches and Alan sat, he glared.

Alan narrowed his gaze, "Senri…?"

"Yup, I remember your words before you left, that how you'll come back with those boys so I must stay ready and here I am. Not just me but every single one of them." he pointed at the highschoolers pavilion. "However, now witnessing this sight… I am really furious right now!" he gritted, his expression hidden.

Alan listened wordless.

"Seeing you at their side and seeing them stepping beyond their bounds… I'll make sure to break them up! Just you wait Alan. The finger you raised up, I'll make sure it doesn't rise again!" he threatened heading back.

Alan baffled gasped, "Senri?"

"Is Senri really angry?" Seles asked surprised.

"You bet he is." Drake agreed.

"But, I have never seen him so angry before." Kortes recalled.

Mir glancing at Alan looked at the pitch where Senri headed to.

An annoyed yet an enraged look blazed in Senri's eyes, he stood before Aigou ruffling his hairs. A caring smile curling his lips he invited, "Aigou… why don't we dance for a bit?"

Aigou silent for a while nodded, heading back to the runners crease. Seraph looked at Senri grave.

Senri smiling turned his bat upside down. His middle finger twirling the bat from its grip. It danced. "Whoa! He twirling it like air!" Hadi gasped.

Standing on the batting crease he tossed his bat up from his middle finger, catching it again and swaying around, he kept it between his both feet like a sword.

"He's dancing…?" Poseidon whispered confused.

"More like he's swaying." Damian corrected.

"I bet he's lost it…" Helios commented blatant.

"Pfft, haha!" Adam chuckled.

"Oh~ here goes our dancer." Aaron chanted looking forward to his performance. Kenzo alerted glanced at Xavier who nodded.

"Come now… before eternity turns void." Senri called, his voice alarming.

Alan recalling Senri's words frowned, "Seeing you at their side and seeing them stepping beyond their bounds… I'll make sure to break them up! Just you wait Alan. The finger you raised up, I'll make sure it doesn't rise again!" 

"But they supported you back then when you played with us… is that really right?" Feng's words imprinted his mind.

Alan sighed confused, "Was I really wrong from my side…?"

Seraph's over completed, he passed the ball over to Helios who once again took charge. 

"Senri Ibn Daud…" Kenzo recalled Cassiel's words, "A 1st Year High schooler and a diversified cricketer, Age: 16, Height: 190.63cm, Weight: 82.02 Kg is a Right handed batsman who excels in countering all spin deliveries. Mostly, against Googly, Second and Third Returns,2 Leg breaks and Sliders. His infamous natural talent of nullifying all skill deliveries earns him the title of 'Void Of Eternity' ranking him Number '6th' on the base's genius's list. He is also ranked the second in the base's batsman lineup after Haruf. His abilities, just like I mentioned nullification before are correlated to each other. He has also claimed 'SYNCRO' with Ren Maaz making them one of the best spin returning duo."

"Tch." Kenzo scoffed, "This doesn't mention dancing anywhere near."

Helios delivering the first ball of the ninth over stepped on the popping crease bowling towards Aigou who defended his wicket indifferent.

"He isn't even trying to play anymore…" Aryan studied Aigou's behavior. 

"Maybe his 'Roaring' with Elias was broken that's why?" Ebraham assumed.

"They both are continuously defending taking one or two runs at most." Ren whispered.

Helios delivering the last ball of the over smirked, "Since it's my last ball of this innings. Let's lift up our phase, shall we?" "Twilight Surging sunbreak!!" "Huh?!" The other middleschoolers uttered surprised. The ball with a swingers grip hit the pitch. "Guess it, what delivery is it this?" Helios asked.

"Captain merged his both skills?!" Claude guessed.

"Indeed, using the same grip he merged both his inswinger 'Twilight Sunbreak' and outswinger 'Sun's Surge' into one skill 'Twilight Surging sunbreak'. Now it depends on the batsman to guess whether it's an inswinger or an out swinger. One wrong move and the batsman is sent back to the pavilion." Poseidon theorized. "Good job, Heli." he remarked proud.

Senri grasping the ball's sight nonchalant stepped forward whispering, "Counter of Nothingness: Halt Obliterate Nothingness."

Xavier gasped, "A counter?!"

The ball before even hitting the bat slowed down with all skills disapearing in an instant turning the ball into a usual fast delivery. With ease Senri slammed the bat towards the leg side claiming a huge six.

Xavier instantly realized, "Isn't this the same skill Alan used before, back at the range of no return to obliterate my Ring of limitation?"

"Well done." Kazuna remarked.

"Things will really turn out to be troubling for our little juniors now." Isa sneered.

"Just like I heard… all shots are nullified." Cassiel said.

"Nullified?" Ines repeated.

"Yes, nullified. Senri Ibn Daud has a natural talent of sensing any spin or skills a ball may contain. At the moment of throw and the moment the ball touches his bat, it instantaneously, gives information to his wrists which allows him to nullify the effect of any ability or special delivery." Cassiel explained.

"Wow… but doesn't that makes him invincible? How can one even defeat a person like him?" Mikael asked. "

Think beyond nothingness…" Poseidon whispered. The others looked at each other puzzled. "Though no one in the entire world can do that." he added smiling, "Except for one…"

Azazel taking the ball headed towards the balling crease as Helios glanced at Poseidon. Poseidon beaming showed a perfect sign. Helios smiling took Azazel's position.

Azazel delivering the 1st ball of the 10th over whispered, "Grave Knuckle!" Aigou who took the batting crease sighed stepping forward. Raising his bat up his hairs flared maroon changing from red. He slammed the ball straight securing a six again.

Looking up he glared, "It's all useless. Fast deliveries don't work on me, give up!" 

Azazel gulped.

"His hairs changed again." Yusuf pointed.

"That's the second phase of Door of Radiance; Radiance of pain. It awakens after any painful experience. Once Aigou becomes conscious of fleetingness, he grasps new origins of strength to cover up for his weaknesses. And this time, Elias getting out was his trigger." Seles explained.

"One is subduing all pace deliveries while the other one all spins. Either way, middleschoolers are trapped for the time being until they find a solution." Yusuf presumed.

"Seems like it." Nidou ginned amused, "Let's see what those rascals would do now..."
