Chapter 122: Vitality Control, Blue

I said I would keep my episode posting order. However, I still miss the days when I will post an episode, but I have my reasons. If it weren't for my reasons, I wouldn't have messed up my episode release schedule.

There are two reasons behind the disruption of the order. First, half of the episode I'm going to publish on Wednesday was deleted due to problems with my pc. I was intending to complete that day's episode and post it on Friday.

However, this time my friend fell into a hugeemotional emptiness. He broke up with his girlfriend in a very bad way and it left him emotionally empty, I couldn't publish an episode to be with him.

-----------------------------------

Let's go back a little.

Nejire and Fuyumi were preparing to fight Aiden while Momo was fighting Jay.

"Hey, why did you pick me?" Aiden asked as he swung his sword. He had seen that Nejire had chosen him especially, and he wondered why.

"Why did I choose you…" Nejire put a finger to her cheek. As she watched the sky, she began to think. It didn't take long to think, she spoke with a bright smile.

"This is the first time I see someone fighting with a sword. And it will be very exciting to fight someone like that."

"Hmm, is it?"

Swish!

Aiden vanished, reappearing in front of Nejire a moment later, thrusting his sword into her shoulder.

Being a simp of Nejire, he couldn't hurt her. His goal was to disable her by injuring her in the shoulder, then take care of Fuyumi and go to his friends.

Ding!

But before his attack hit, he tripped on something. The point of Aiden's sword hung over Nejire's shoulder. Waves of yellow energy started at the tip of Aide's sword, enveloping Nejire like a skin.

Yellow energy waves were appearing and spreading in various places. There were many waves of energy protecting her arms, legs, torso, and head, and none of them started at the same spot.

Nejire's smile melted, replaced by a rare seriousness. Her gaze sharpened, and her pure childlike air vanished. She lifted her hand slightly and aligned it in front of Aiden's chest.

"Bye~" Nejire raised her hand and aligned it to the side of his face. She smiled slightly and made a peace sign.

A yellow wave shot out from the middle of her palm. Before Aiden could react, it slammed into his chest. Aiden didn't even have time to be surprised, gasping as if he'd been hit in the chest with a hammer and sent back.

"Let's get started, Fuyumi-nee-chan." Nejire watched the flying Aiden leave for a while. Her serious expression melted, she walked over to Fuyumi with a bright smile and opened her hands.

Yellow energy waves were constantly coming out of her fingertips and palms.

Fuyumi nodded. She brought both of her hands together and looked at them. A small, blue flame appeared in her hands. The flame relaxed to the size of two fists. It was very hot, but strangely exuding a bone-chilling chill.

"Woah~~" Nejire bowed slightly and brought her face in front of the fire. She looked at the fire with childish interest. The stars in her eyes danced in her sparkled eyes, she raised her hands and aligned them so that her fingertips were touching Fuyumi's fingertips.

A piece of blue flame broke from the flame cluster and flew into Nejire's hands like blue cloth floating in the wind. It drifted lightly with the wind.

As soon as it aligned with the center of Nejire's palm, Nejire lifted her left hand and twisted it, trapping the piece of fire with both hands.

She used her Waves. The ripples emanating from her upper left hand combined with those emanating from her lower right hand, creating a prison of vitality wave that enveloped the blue fire piece.

"Okay, I'll start now." Nejire took a few steps forward with a bright smile. She was looking in the direction of Aiden, who had been thrown back and crashed into the wall.

Most of Aiden's body was buried inside a wall. Only one leg and arm remained in sight. The rest of his body was inside the wall.

A hand came out of the dent in the wall. The hand was shaking slightly, gripping the edge of the dent and pulling the rest of the body out of the dent. Aiden in the dust appeared. Blood was dripping from the corner of his mouth, but other than that, there was no injury. Nejire held back her strength as long as she could.

Aiden stood up and leaped forward. His hair rose in the air at the speed of the fall. He calmly landed on the ground and looked at the two girls. His gaze shifted to the flame in Nejire's hand, never seen in the anime.

The Blue Flame was suspended in the air amid the waves of yellow energy. It emitted a cold air that even Aiden in the distance could see. Grains of water in the air would freeze and fall to the ground as tiny ice pieces.

But the most surprising thing was what happened next. The warm air that followed the cold air melted the ice grains and turned them into steam.

"This is somewhat like the combination where Endeavor gets his quilts dirty during his dreams." Being familiar with the MHA Anime, Aiden analyzed the cold-hot fire cluster that emerged from Fuyumi's hands and which Nejire was holding with waves of energy.

It didn't mean he just stood there. While he was thinking, he was making preparations for the next attack to come.

He took out his Guardian Beast. His body was slightly shaded, with two identical copies of Aiden appearing on either side of him. Unlike him, the Copy Aidens had no light in their eyes. [Guardian Best-Long Live Summon]

The two Aidens merged with him as they emerged. Aiden closed his eyes, feeling the strength the Aidens had given him. His mood had changed completely, the air that Aiden was exuding with his eyes closed became harsher.

Nejire's eyes sparkled with interest. She was intrigued by what Aiden was doing, and she wanted to know about what he was doing. But she knew she couldn't do that.

She could distinguish between friend and enemy and be well trained by Blake not to show weakness to her enemies.

Nejire raised her hands. She brought the piece of fire between the Energy Waves in front of her face. Her face was glowing with the yellow light of the sun and the blue light of the blue flame.

Nejire withdrew her upper hand. The piece of fire was able to stay stably above the energy waves emanating from her right hand. Nejire wiggled her fingers, reducing the size of the waves' propagation. The energy waves that started from the center of her palm and grew bigger and bigger were rubbing against the piece of fire during their growth path.

Nejire aligned her hand to where Aiden was as if she had accomplished something. The piece of fire did not fall, it seemed to be stuck to the energy waves.

Aiden frowned, his gaze sharpening. He couldn't understand what Nejire was doing, but he wasn't going to just stand there and wait for her to complete her transformation.

He turned his sword in his hand. He stepped forward, pushed the ground, and threw himself forward. His speed had increased considerably, though not comparable to Blake's, it took him a few steps to reach Nejire's front.

He raised his sword, aligning it to the side of his face. His robe was lifted, thousands of strands of hair swirling uncontrollably in the air. The blade shone with a cold glow as the blade pointed at Nejire's shoulder. He arrived in front of Nejire, thrusting the sword into his shoulder.

Nejire glanced briefly at the approaching sword. She understood the intent of the other party, but unfortunately for him, there was no such thing as transformation or preparation. She had more than 100% control over her Quirk and didn't need anything superfluous like preparing.

"Nejire Hado-" Nejire said her name. She raised her hand. She had already finished the Super Moves she was going to use now, and she was dying to show it to Blake and the others. Knowing that she could finally do it filled her with happiness.

"Vitality Control, Blue!"

The energy waves that came out of her hands with her words started to come out faster and more than they should have. Vitality was coming out of Nejire's body like water from an open faucet and heading towards Aiden as waves of energy.

The circular energy waves rubbed against the blue fire after it left her hand. The yellow circular energy waves rippled, and in a moment they were transformed into blue flaming energy waves.

Aiden stopped in the middle of his attack. He had not seen the attack that represented Nejire's words in the anime. He didn't know what to do or how to affect him, moreover, the blue energy waves had merged with a flame that he had not seen in the anime.

The combination of the two unknowns formed a larger unknown. And deep down, cowardly, Aiden didn't want to face the attack himself.

Aiden scraped his foot 180 degrees and jumped, powering his foot. His sword danced in his hand, swinging it at the waves of blue energy that came over him as he turned his body.

Ding!

Swords clashed with waves of blue energy, sparks spread into the air like thousands of scarlet flowers. Although Aiden grew stronger and became a [Hero], he felt a strong resistance in his palm. The flesh of the palms was peeled off, and the blood dripping from the palm soiled the hilt of the sword.

Still, he continued to swing his sword. Waves of blue energy kept coming. He tightened his grip on his sword. His pupils were constantly moving, watching the surroundings not to give any clarity.

In an instant, he swung his sword from left to right. Several waves of energy were coming right into his chest.

Clink! DANG!

The hard pounding sound of iron resounded, followed by a thumping sound from the collision of two objects. Aiden gripped his sword with both hands, grit his teeth, and swung his sword again after powering up his arms.

The incoming energy waves were cut in half. Aiden gave strength to his feet. The soil slumped in and gathered on the tips of their shoes. He jumped back.

Just then, a cylindrical wave of blue energy shot towards Aiden. As Aiden was in the air at this time, he could not dodge the attack. He clenched his teeth, stretched the sword over his left shoulder, and swung to the right with all his might.

Ding! Crash!

This time, he had no problem cutting the cylindrical energy wave, as he used all his strength.

Instead of dissipating after the blue energy wave stopped, it continued on its way. A few small shards of energy waves floated through the air and touched Aiden's sword gripping hand.

Something strange happened. Blue energy waves were absorbed into his body instead of harming him. The energy waves contained a lot of vitality, and when they were absorbed into Aiden's body, his skin became more alive and bright.

"UGHHH!!" However, this only lasted a second. Aiden landed, intending to leap back again, but his face wrinkled. His grip on the sword loosened, and the sword fell to the ground. He twisted his body and grasped his right hand.

He felt as if there was a fire under the skin of his right hand.

Tip! Tip! Tip!

It only took a second for the fire to spread through his entire body. Huge drops of sweat fell to the ground, soaking the ground Aiden's forehead and face, even the bottom of his clothing, were covered in sweat. The underside of his skin was abnormally hot, too hot even for a [Hero] like him.

"Gahh... Haaaa..." He opened his mouth to breathe, but the warmth in his body almost burned the air that came in through his nose and mouth. His face and skin turned pink.

He felt that not only physically, but also his vitality was burning. It was difficult for him to put into words what he was going through. He felt that the strength in his body and the vitality he would use throughout the day was burning.

And there was nothing he could do against it. Because what burned his vitality was like a parasite that his body didn't reject. The body does nothing to throw it away, Aiden didn't know what was burning his body from the inside out. It was as if what had entered him suddenly became a part of his body.

"!!!" His eyes widened. His pink skin had lost its color and turned pale. His figure, suffering from the extreme heat, began to tremble wildly. Large drops of sweat turned into pieces of crystal, falling to the ground and shattering.

What had just burned his vitality now froze him. He opened his mouth and exhaled. His breath was steamy. The corners of his pupils were covered with ice, and every bit of fluid in his body was starting to freeze. He could feel stiffness even between the joints, it was getting harder and harder to move his body.

"K-kill..." His burned areas froze, leaving a strange, painful, unbearable numbness. Curled up on the floor, Aiden wanted to die for a moment. He didn't want to suffer such pain any more.

"Nejire-chan, I think we exaggerated a bit."

''It seems so. I didn't know what to expect as it was my first time using this technique.''

"It was stronger than we thought."

''Yes like that. When we get home, we should ask Momo-chan for help. If we train with "Fake Human Flesh", we can overcome this. Don't you want it, Fuyumi-nee-chan?"

''It's possible. If you want.''

''Yatta~~''

Aiden heard Nejire and Fuyumi's guilt-ridden words. He heard footsteps approaching him. He tried to lift his head, but the joint spaces in his neck froze, making his neck unable to move. Luckily, it didn't spread to his spine or he would have been crippled for the rest of his life.

''Sorry. I didn't know something like this could happen." Nejire bent her legs and touched Aiden's forehead. She didn't know that something like this would happen because it was the first time she had used this technique, especially with "Blue".

She had been working on her Super Moves, which she called Vitality Control, for a while and had completed this ability before they left for the Festival.

The rationale behind the ability was that the yellow energy waves Nejire created would enter the body of her opponents. From that moment on, she would be able to use the opponent's vitality as she wished. She could destroy him from within, chiffon his vitality, or control his body.

Of course, these were still her guesses. Whether it could happen would be revealed when she worked on his Super Moves.

"Blue" was a reference to Fuyumi's flames. The yellow energy waves that Nejire unleashed merged with Fuyumi's flames and turned into flaming energy waves. In this way, the Vitality control was gaining the "freeze", "burn" and "Destroy" feature, which is a combination of the two.

That was Fuyumi and Nejire's "Combo Attack" and Aiden was K.O'd with her Combo Attacks.

Waves of blue-flaming vitality tied to Aiden's vitality emerged from his body at Nejire's order and returned to the flames. Aiden's shaking stopped. His body was getting warmer every second

Aiden, who had passed out long ago, smiled as he felt his body warm slightly.

"I guess I exaggerated a bit." Nejire scratched her cheek with a wry smile. She didn't expect her attack to be this strong.

''Let's go. Other girls are waiting for us." Fuyumi grabbed Aiden's arm. Nejire nodded, and they started dragging Aiden by each arm.

**

The girls' fights were ending one by one. Nejire and Fuyumi drag Aiden to the place where Jay passed out. After leaving her next to Jay, the girls began to wait.

After a few moments, Rumi emerged grasping at Edward's outfit. Edward's face was full of bruises and swelling. His clothes were torn and covered in dirt. His hair was messy and he was drifting unconscious. A golden light was constantly coming out of his body, increasing his defenses.

She walked up to the girls and randomly threw Edward at the two on the floor. She raised her hand to greet the girls.

Momo and Nemuri arrived a few minutes later. Momo walked undamaged. A pink, cloudy layer over Nemuri's clothing enveloped her like a second skin.

Between Momo and Nemuri was a small robot. The robot was holding the unconscious Leo on top of it as it made its way with the girls.

On top of the robot, Leo lay unconscious. Despite this, he was holding a crimson spear in his arms, which looked so beautiful to girls, as if his life depended on it.

Nemuri's fight had ended in a unilateral victory. Contrary to what she had expected, her opponent had nothing but some success in swinging the spear in his hand.

Initially, she was worried as it would be her first time fighting an opponent with a spear, and she hesitated about whether she would succeed.

But contrary to what she expected, Leo was very clumsy at swinging the spear. He couldn't keep his balance, the way he was swinging was very clumsy. He was swinging the spear like a child swings a long stick.

Leo hadn't had a chance to practice his spear techniques before he hurried here. Combining his System Points in a sufficient amount had been very difficult for him as most of the points went to Gae Bolg's integration.

It had been a few days since he had studied the spear, and he was not a genius who could learn the spear in a few days. He trusted Gae Bolg to destroy them.

Yes, he was planning to destroy them. Leo wouldn't take pity on his enemies, and he was determined to kill them, even if he didn't want to.

However, he relied on Gae Bolg for this. The spear that never missed its target, the spear soaked in the blood of the gods, relied on the spear wielded by Scathach. However, Gae Bolg was like a normal spear throughout his fights.

Like Gae Bolg, the spear wouldn't reveal its full strength unless it yielded to someone. Also, unless approved by Scathach, he wouldn't be able to use it to its full potential no matter how much he raised its integration rate.

And its integrated ratio was 0.01. In his hand, Gae Bolg was no different than a spear that was more durable and sharp than an ordinary spear.

There was no way he could win after so many disadvantages in a row. Even without his disadvantages, there was no way he could defeat Nemuri with his little combat experience.

"Where's Blake?"

Crackle!

It was as if lightning was responding to her words. The girls' gazes turned to where the lightning sound came from.

Not far from them, two lightning bolts were chasing each other over the windows of the tens of stories tall building. The graceful white lightning in the front seemed to mock the one in the back. Behind him, the orange lightning bolts were chasing it helplessly. [EN: I won't write the entire fight between the two. Nothing interesting would happen since Blake was three times as fast as Simon.]

The orange lightning suddenly sped up, perhaps because the graceful white lightning had slowed down, he was able to catch it. So the girls could see the state of the two lightning bolts.

Blake was running backward as he looked at Simon running after him. Simon was running after him, he had an angry expression and seemed to do anything to catch him.

Blake let go of his hand and stepped back. He disappeared from where he was, reappearing tens of meters above. Simon grit his teeth and followed after him.

The two weren't just moving in a straight line. The two weren't just moving in a straight line. Sometimes they made sharp turns, sometimes they followed curled routes, and sometimes they stopped.

After tens of meters, the two began to spin in a circle. Orange and elegant white lightning mingled and reflected off the building's windows, illuminating the city with bright lights.

The two lightning bolts continued to spin circularly for a while. A few seconds passed, the two speedsters chasing each other a thousand times, but Simon couldn't catch Blake.

The white lightning abruptly broke free from its circular turns and began to rush to the top of the building. It didn't take long to reach the roof of the building, but instead of stopping, he kept running and jumped off the building with the momentum he had gathered.

He followed a semicircular course through the air, and Simon followed after him.

Blake and Simon's fall trajectory featured a building as tall as they were running. As the girls thought that Blake was going to land on the window of the building and run over the building, in the same way, something happened that shocked each of them.

Blake's body undulated, and his outlines disappeared. His body was shaking wildly, his masculine figure and handsome face rippled, making it more difficult to see.

The next second he entered the building with a slight smile. However, there was no damage to the building. No explosion or broken glass, Blake's body was almost sucked into the building.

Not only he, but Simon also began to tremble and disappeared into the building. A few seconds later, Blake emerged from the other side.

His body stopped shaking, his body began to fall uncontrollably. Blake put his left hand behind him and grasped the cable for the platforms used to wipe the windows. His body swayed, he spun 180 degrees and punched.

His fist went closer and closer to the wall. After 0.01 seconds, Simon emerged from the building. He reflexively stopped vibrating, but what he encountered was Blake's fist getting closer and closer.

Bam!

The fist hit him in the face, and Simon squinted his eyes in pain. His body hit the windows of the building. The windows rippled from the force behind Blake's fist. The entire wall undulated like a swirling rope, centering Simon's body.

Crash!

The next second, the windows of the building shattered at the same time. Glasses were falling like raindrops over Blake and Simon, who remained in the same position. Blake had one hand on the wire, the other resting on Simon's face.

Thousands, tens of thousands of pieces of glass were falling on him. Blake's cold face was reflected in the tens of thousands of pieces of glass.

Blake withdrew his hand and suddenly grabbed Simon's head. He pushed himself back, hitting the iron as his body swung forward. With a sharp turn, he turned around and suddenly appeared next to the girls.

"How was it?" Blake loosened his grip, and the unconscious Simon fell to his friends. He smiled and spoke as he stared at the girls as if he hadn't just destroyed a building.

The girls didn't answer him but looked confused at the mess Blake had created.

Blake's strength was worse than Rumi's four months before his disappearance. However, after four months of disappearance, he had already grown stronger than her.

Pieces of glass kept falling. Fortunately, the building's construction was interrupted, so no people were harmed and they didn't have to worry about the building collapsing.

"It was a good fight. I guess what you're about to say will change our whole world, right?" Rumi looked at Edward, whom he had thrown to the ground.

Throughout their battles, his defense continued to increase along with the "Sturdy" shout. As much as she didn't want to admit it, no kick or punch could hurt him at the end of the fifteenth minute. She had remained within the power of her previous attacks and had constantly triggered the Golden light, but her attacks were no longer hurting him.

She was Rumi Usagiyama, A.K.A Mirko, one of the proud, potential first two heroes in the Sixth rank. After training with Blake, someone who could so easily ignore her attacks shouldn't exist in this world.

That's what all the girls thought. Even if The Five were weak and lacked combat experience, their powers should not belong to this world.

It doesn't belong in this world... Each of them fixed their gaze on the man in front of them from the ruined building. His power and what his power could do did not belong to this world, didn't it?

"Each of you so smart... Hah, let's get this done and go home. We're going to have a long talk." Blake could guess what the girls were thinking. He sighed lightly. If he didn't have this conversation soon, his smart girls would guess more and be confused before he said anything.

''Ha-''

"I can handle them."

As the girls were about to answer Blake, they heard a pleasant voice. The voice had a natural cheerfulness, but also a sense of wonder that could not be concealed like Nejire. It had a pleasant tone to hear.

But what they saw was not pleasant at all. The person closest to Blake had seen Blake get this angry in the last fire incident. His eyes were wide enough for two eggs to be inserted, his black hole-like eyes gleaming with killing intent. A red-black aura emanated from Blake, making even the girls a little startled.

The girls looked over Blake's shoulder. There was a woman there. She had pink hair, crouching next to the unconscious The Five, poking them with a stick and checking to see if they are alive. She looked at Blake as she spoke, a bright smile as if she hadn't noticed the killing intent emanating from him.
