Terror Infinity Side B
Chapter 36, HxH Greed Island
Elena: "Three hours have successfully passed! Player of the 100 Designated Pocket Cards may now enter Dwun and List's study room within the castle. Please don't leave Limeiro. If you do you must start over and the three hour clock will reset itself. Please have fun in this last stretch of Greed Island!"
Shin heard this bit of good news, yet he could only let out a loud sigh. On one hand this finally meant that he could proceed to end his fourth mission of God's Dimension at last, but not everything had gone his way. His comrades of Team Japan had successfully defeated two of the remaining four members of Team Germany, bringing their once despairing negative Team Battle score back to +0 at long last, but it came at a price that Shin didn't feel like paying.
According to his last call from Aqua the G.I players of Greed Island had been chasing them through the city and they were currently in hiding. They couldn't risk returning back towards Team Japan's temporary base within the mansion or meeting up at the castle in the center of Limeiro. Of course, it wasn't like it was impossible to lose the enemy players, but to safely escape while caring for the injured comrade Jin who had suffered at the hands of Klaus would slow them down.
Misaki: "So what's it going to be Shin? Do we head towards the castle, or wait for our comrades to return that might not make it for another 1-2 hours?"
Shin: "...We'll go now. There's no time limit for us to reach the castle so we could wait for the others, but we won't. Team Germany's leader has occupied that castle far too long for my liking. Who knows what she has set up, but I'm more of afraid of her now that she's like a cornered a beast."
Hikari: "You mean that she might do something desperate?"
Shin: "Exactly. She has no comrades left and a bleak future for coming out alive once this mission is complete. She's at a -10 Team Battle Score after all. We once brought up the topic of what we would have done if there was no more hope left, right? This is that, but instead of us it's the enemy. The enemy leader might collapse the entire castle if there’s no more hope left for her. Doing so could result in a change of mission like killing all the G.I players or another stupid game... and so-"
Hikari: "You don't want to run over with a large group of comrades to scare her, right?"
Shin: "That's right. I won't call it a gap within Jin's master plan, but it's a slight oversight that we have to now be aware of. That's why... we'll give her hope by just sending Misaki and myself over to the castle."
Misaki: "Hope... wait! You don't mean to use us as bait, do you?"
Hikari: "Bait? So that's the hope you're giving to the enemy. She most likely knows that Shin and Misaki here are unlocked members of Team Japan. Ignoring the rank rewards that's 14,000 points for killing you two. That also erases -2 points from her Team Battle score to -8, or negative 16,000 points she'll be deducted if she completes her mission afterwards. Long as she has a few one or two thousand points saved up then she can survive this mission after taking the penalty."
Shin: "That's right. Good to see that your glasses girl character hasn't up and vanished with the appearance of Jin. So you get it now. The enemy leader won't self-destruct if only Misaki and I go to the castle. Killing just the two of us will most likly erase all of her problems after all. It's a dangerous 2 VS 1 battle for her, but it's better than an 8 VS 1 battle she can't help but be dreading at this moment. She shouldn't know of Jin's current condition or the rest of the Team Japan, so she can only believe that our side is at full strength. The enemy leader is a prideful bitch with a personality to hunt us for all eternity just to get back at us. She values her life, but her hatred for me and Team Japan might make her choose the option that causes us the most damage to get back at us... even if it results in her death.
The others heard what Shin had to say and couldn't say that he was wrong. It would be safer to fight together as a team, but if doing so made the enemy chooses death and destruction for both teams... it wasn't a risk that they should be taking just because their team had recovered from their negative Team Battle Score and reduced the enemy team to just two members.
Shin: "Hikari, Misaki and I will head out now alone. We'll either fight the enemy leader, or try to bypass her and make it to Dwun and List's room. I want you to survey the city with your Persona and wait here for the others to eventually arrive."
Hikari: "Okay, but wouldn't it be fine if I came along as well? I won't join the main battle, but I can just hide within the castle and offer any support that I can."
Shin: "That's not a bad idea, but no. If Team Germany's leader even sees you she'll go after you. Not only are you our Psyche Force user or Persona user, whatever you want to call it, she's mad at you for the whole poster thing. It would be too big of a risk to take you along. Stay within the deepest part of the mansion in case an enemy arrives. Now Kisara..."
Kisara: "..."
Shin now turned towards Kisara, who had thus far remained silent. Kisara had appeared to be in good spirits when Shin had praised her for her part in their plan to wipe out Team Germany a few hours ago, but Shin knew better. Shin had seen that over the last few days Kisara had been depressed and rarely spoke up if not called upon. This has been going on since after the Team Japan's first confrontation with Team Germany.
That day Kisara had fought valiantly as a practitioner of Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu and gave it her all for the team, even going as far as to risk her life to give her comrades a chance to escape, but at the end of the day she found herself helpless. She was all too quickly subdued by Team Germany, her comrades had not escaped thanks to the enemy Psyche Force user and had to be rescued by Shin, and later she could only watch as her friend and fellow newbie Renji died before her eyes.
Kisara knew from the beginning that she was outmatched by the enhanced Players and Nen Users of Greed Island in so many ways, yet she had some confidence in herself. Kisara had defeated a few low level Nen Users over the course of the mission alongside Team Japan and contributed greatly in the battle against the powerful Game Master Razor and his Fourteen Devils.
Kisara knew that she wasn't all powerful even with her trusted Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu training, yet the battles over the last two months slowly and steadily gave her confidence... but all of the recent events had destroyed what confidence, what pride she possessed in believing that she was useful to her comrades. Still, Kisara kept up a brave front whenever something was needed of her so as to not become a burden, but Shin having a great interest in his team's first true swordsman couldn't help but notice how she was feeling, and knowing that he was about to go off and leave Hikari behind... he couldn't allow her one and only protector to remain depressed any longer.
Shin: "...Kisara, I'm lending you this. You've lost your previous sword, so you can use this for now. I'm leaving Hikari to you, my comrade, so please protect her till the end."
Kisara: "This is..."
Shin from one of his Na Rings took out a sword and presented it to Kisara. Kisara dark purple eyes widened as the sword in question now in her hands was Shin's trusted magic sword, Gravity Blade. Gravity Blade was Shin's trusted partner and sword over numerous battle. The battles in the real world, the battles within a labyrinth in Apocalypse Alice, and all the recent battles on Greed Island in Hunter X Hunter. It wouldn't be wrong to say that aside from his magic armor that protects his life, Gravity Blade was his most important piece of equipment.
Kisara: "This is... too much. How can I-"
Shin: "I'm not done yet. I'm also lending you my Lesser Fenrir Coat. Along with this replacement sword that's far superior to your last comes this magic coat will protect your life. Ah, but the real gift here is the coat as just wearing it will allow you almost full access to its abilities. As a normal human you can't use the extreme gravity magic swings to attack like I can, but as a magic sword it's durability and cutting edge is greater than what you could hope to find in a sword in the real world."
Kisara: "But-"
Shin: "Kisara, don't worry about using my temperamental magic sword at all. I've already talked to her and told her to allow you full use of the sword. Really, all the girls around me can't stand leaving my-"
Hikari: "Are you a baka?"
Shin: "..."
Kisara: "Wait, I don't think that I'm-"
Shin: "Kisara."
Kisara: "..."
Shin knew that Kisara wanted to say that she was not worthy for the magic tools he was presenting to her, but he would not have that. Kisara didn't have that high an opinion of herself at the moment, but Shin held a high opinion of her. Shin didn't blame Kisara for her lack of strength and would in fact praise her for surviving till now and certainly believed her efforts to protect her comrades were not a waste.
Shin wanted to just say all of this, but he couldn't. Kisara was the type of person who held herself to a high standard and wouldn't accept someone comforting her when she fails. In this way she is similar to Aqua. Even so, she would get emotionally down if she didn't feel useful, much like Hikari. That's why, to lift the spirits of a woman like Kisara, it was best not to comfort, but to show that you believe in them as you give another chance for them to succeed.
Shin: "Kisara, till the others get back Hikari's life is in your hands. Not only do you have no choice but to protect her as she's the pillar of our team's support, but it's something that only you can do. No one else. I'm just lending you Gravity Blade and the Lesser Fenrir Coat to just bolster your abilities. This is for the best for you, Hikari, and myself. That’s all, so Kisara can I count on you?"
Kisara: "...Yes. Also..."
As Kisara accepted the equipment and she then looked Shin in the eye. Shin, who was just in a serious mood as he talked to a comrade, became flustered. Kisara's peerless good looks that puts supermodels to shame were too much for Shin if he didn't have has guard up. This strange and pink mood made Shin consider what Kisara wanted to say to him, and then-
Kisara: "Shin... your hairs a mess now that I'm paying attention."
Shin: "...Ha? Is this the time to be caring for how I look? If you’re not going to say that I'm handsome it's fine to not say anything at all!"
Hikari: "Ah, I forgot to mention it as well. Shin, your hair is a mess color wise is what I think she's trying to say. Your black hair that turned white during the Btooom mission is beginning return. You're starting to look like a human skunk... just without the smell."
Shin: "I have feelings you know! Also, like I said this isn't the time for this!"
Hikari: "It also wasn't the time or place to hit on a girl. In words that you can understand you were taking advantage of Kisara's depression to increase your affection points."
Shin: "Hey, as a leader I was just-"
Misaki: "Shin, we're going now! Stop firing with your harem and finish up this mission already! A life and death battle is better than this crap."
Shin: "Like I said-"
Shin tried to say something, but everyone was already leaving. Misaki was walking away to exit the mansion without waiting for Shin, and Hikari was leading Kisara away into a basement of the mansion. Shin just stood there and despaired over his comrades’ treatment towards their leader.
Shin: "These people... damn it I just can't win! First I'm told I'm turning from Ken Kaneki to Haise Sasaki by Kisara, a skunk by Hikari, and told off by Misaki. What the hell does a guy have to do to earn some respect around here?"
Shin, who didn't know the answer to that, could then only sigh and move to catch up with Misaki.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Around thirty minutes have passes since the three hour time requirement was filled, and Shin and Misaki left to infiltrate the castle of Limeiro. Within the basement of the mansion Team Japan occupied were Hikari and Kisara who had been left behind. Hikari was left behind to remain safe from the danger of confronting Team Germany leader Abigail and to support the team with her surveillance abilities. Kisara was left behind to look after and protect Hikari who was Team Japan's pillar of support with her Persona abilities. Kisara was insecure as to whether she could really protect Hikari, but having received Shin's magic sword Gravity Blade, magic armor Lesser Fenrir Coat, but more importantly his faith that she could protect her, it was no longer an option for her to fail.
Such thoughts were occupying Kisara's mind as she closely kept watch over Hikari. Hikari was currently using Persona Adrasteia to survey the city of Limeiro. Kisara was also on full alert in case something happened, but knowing she couldn't compare to Hikari she just made sure that she was ready for anything. It was then that she noticed a change within Hikari. It was subtle, but Kisara’s heightened state caused her to note the shift in Hikari’s face. Moments ago Hikari had her eyes closed and exuded a demeanor of calm serenity. She knew her role and had confidence in her capacity to fill that role. Yet Kisara now noticed a tight crinkling in the corners of her eyes. That, coupled with her slightly furrowing brow, caused Kisara to check in with her partner.
Kisara: "Hikari, what's wrong? "
Hikari: "...Do you want the good news, the important news, or the bad news?"
Kisara: "I've never been given three options like this... but start with the important news."
Hikari: "The important news is that Shin and Misaki have infiltrated the castle. They took care of a few random G.I players and are now engaging Team Germany's leader. The good news is that Aqua and the others will be back within the hour at the rate they are traveling. They have to be careful not to draw attention to themselves, but I'm sure that they'll make it back safely... if they don't engage the hundred man army of Nen users looking for them."
Kisara: "...The bad news is..."
Hikari: "...Our own small army of enemies appear to be looking for us."
Hikari then began to further elaborate on the bad news. According to her a dozen or so players were acting together to search for enemies. They were going house to house and ransacking everything in their search. Hikari discovered this and knew that in the next ten minutes or so the group of players will arrive to the mansion they were hiding in.
Hikari: "We have a choice to make. I don't want to call the others and put them in danger by rushing back, so we're on our own. We can either escape while we still have time before they arrive, or we can fight them once they enter the mansion. Escaping risks more players noticing us, but fighting has its own risks. Including you our expert swordsman we have grenades and guns to fight with. If we can win I think that we should fight rather than taking the risk of being spotted, but the question is if we can win."
Kisara: "If I can win, right?"
Hikari: "I didn't mean it like-"
Kisara: "Its fine. We'll fight here in the mansion and I will win! Still, we should act with caution. Hikari, do call Aqua and the others just in case. Shin left you in my care, so I'll win, but I won't say that it's impossible for me to fall. I'll hold off the enemy no matter what, but it's better if the others return sooner rather than later."
Hikari: "Alright. They'll be here soon, but first let me apply my magic spells. We need all the help that we can get. Wind Spirit! Water Spirit! Lightning Spirit! Fire Spirit! Earth Spirit!"
Kisara and Hikari herself were bathed in the lights of the five magic buff spells with the hope the extra strength would speed up their preparations. Then Hikari called Aqua's group and Kisara got ready to greet the enemy. Kisara was a straight forward swordsman and wasn't good at coming up with battle plans, but with Hikari and the advice of other comrades over the Communicator Phone they made preparations for the incoming enemies.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Within the mansion of Team Japan's base there was not a sound to be heard, but this did not deter those standing outside the mansion about to invade. Twelve G.I players searching for the holder of the 100 Designated Pocket Cards outside the castle were planning to search every building in Limeiro. They had comrades stationed within the castle, so it was there job to thoroughly search and would not look away from the dead quite mansion before them.
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
G.I player: "...Let’s go in. Don't worry about making it loud!"
With that said two players walked up to the front doors of the mansion and with Aura strengthened hammers smashed in the front doors of the mansion and the group rushed in and as they did they noticed multiple fist sized objects flying through the air towards them.
- *EXPLOSION*!!!
A dozen or so explosive grenades detonated in midair blasting the twelve Nen Users away. Three died immediately while the rest miraculously protected themselves with their powerful Aura and only suffered minor injuries. Then at the same time smoke grenades were thrown and the resulting smoke obstructed their vision in this time of confusion, and taking advantage of this was Kisara.
Kisara, using Zetsu, swiftly navigated thorough the smoke and reached the back of a Nen User and slashed with her sword. The Nen User was using Nen to strengthen and protect his body, yet the magic sword Gravity Blade easily slashed through muscle and bone and took his life before he realized what happened. Kisara was shocked at how easy that was and she marveled the swords sharpness, yet she couldn't do so for more than a moment.
The enemy noticed the smell of blood in the air and became alert. They lost three comrades in the explosion and one more to an unknown assailant. They were caught off guard, but no longer. The enemy Nen Users all used Gyo and found their sole foe Kisara within the white smoke that filled the mansion and rushed towards her. One Nen User raised a Nen reinforced hammer and dropped it on top of Kisara. Kisara with minimal movement stepped to the side as the hammer came crashing down past her, and then without waiting she slashed the enemy's neck.
Nen User: "Damn you!!"
Kisara: "!!!"
Another Nen User carrying a hammer charged towards Kisara with inhuman speed and this time Kisara didn't move out of the way. Kisara could only raise her sword to defend and the two weapons clashed. Kisara looked like a frail girl so the enemy expected for her to be blown clear across the room with broken bones, yet she held her ground. The quality of the Gravity Blade, the stat increases of Lesser Fenrir Coat, a recently used Nano Machine Accelerator Package, and finally the various buffs from Hiakri magic spells gave Kisara the strength to hold her ground.
Kisara skillfully deflected away the Nen User's hammer with her new found strength. She then closed in and slashed twice at the enemy before her. Kisara grew confident having decreased the enemy number from twelve to six, but the remaining six still gave her a hard time. Each one wielding various weapons surrounded and barraged her with one attack after the other, yet even still Kisara held her ground. Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu which excelled in predicting attacks allowed her defend herself despite being surrounded on all sides, but she knew that she couldn't last much longer. The basic combat abilities of each Nen User were too high for Kisara, who had little fighting experience fighting multiple opponents or alone at that.
Five seconds.
Ten seconds.
Fifteen seconds.
Twenty seconds passed and Kisara felt that she had reached her physical limits and that she wouldn't survive to reach twenty-five seconds. Kisara used her peak level swordsmanship to avoid fatal blows and had to accept lesser attacks and relied on the Lesser Fenrir Coat to lessen the damage, yet she was now at the end of her ropes. As a normal human girl it was commendable to have lasted as long as she did against superhuman Nen Users, but Kisara was not satisfied. She didn't want to fail her comrades anymore and wanted to return the trust they placed in her.
Kisara, fighting back desperately with those thoughts driving her, swung her sword and then help came in an unexpected way. As Kisara was on her last leg a newfound surge of power entered her body. Kisara felt that this power rising up in her was the power of Hikari's magic spells, but the increase in power was greater than ever before. Offensive power, defensive power, speed, stamina, and most of all our healing factors were greatly increased. This sudden burst of power gave Kisara the strength to fight back and her opponents suffered. The sudden boast in power caught the enemy Nen Users off guard and allowed Kisara to swiftly slash and kill five of the enemy Nen Users.
The only one who managed to avoid a fatal slash was the strongest of the group who stepped back in time. The last enemy Nen User, full of rage, looked back at Kisara who had slayed his comrades, but unconsciously took a step back fearing for his life. Kisara after the boost of power had her spirits rejuvenated released a killing intent so strong that the enemy immediately thought to run away... yet he stood his ground. The Nen User knew if he so much as showed his back to Kisara she would kill him before he would know what happened. That's why with his weapon of choice, a two handed sword, he charged towards Kisara.
The enemy moved at a speed faster than Kisara herself could match even under the effects of multiple magic buffs, yet with a calm mind she saw the enemy approach and began her counter attack. Kisara sidestepped the forward thrust as the enemy moved past in a full circular motion. Effectively using the centrifugal force of her spin she swung her sword in the same motion, slashing at the Nen User's neck and beheading him.
Kisara: "Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu, Ryūkansen (Dragon Coiling Flash)!"
Kisara finished off her opponent and gave one last look to the many people she had just killed. Twelve corpses spread all around. It left a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach, but she soon accept it. It was either them or her, possibly even Hikari, so she knew that there was no other choice. Her sword training also helped her accept the deaths of others at her own hands. Kisara didn't take a second look at the bodies and began to return to Hikari's side.
☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
Under the mansion within the basement was a lone girl who was on the verge of crying sitting on the floor and behind her was her Persona. This girl, Hikari, could barely held back her tears as she watched over the Capital City Limeiro with her support type Persona Adrasteia. Using her Persona to support her comrades from behind normally allowed Hikari to feel that she was useful, but as of this moment... it felt like a curse to her. Hikari could only watch through Adrasteia’s eyes as her comrades fought for their lives and knowing that even if she went out there she couldn't be everywhere and that there would have been nothing that she could do.
Hikari watched as Kisara was fighting twelve dangerous Nen Users as an ordinary girl without enhancements using just sword skill. Hikari watched as Aqua, Shuai, Connor, and a critically injured Jin were running away from an army of Nen Users and the numerous Nen Users standing in their way to return to the mansion to help Kisara and herself. And lastly Hikari watched as Shin and Misaki fought for their lives against Team Germany leader Abigail and Hikari was most concerned about this battle.
Despite fighting together Shin and Misaki were fighting a steep downhill battle against Abigail's surprising hidden abilities... and then she saw it. A look of despair over the face of the man that she loved as he watched Misaki take a critical injury, and Hikari could no longer hold her tears... yet despite feeling helpless her desire to help him and all her comrades only grew stronger till they dared to consume all her thoughts.
The images of Shin saving her in High School of the Dead by never abandoning her flowed through her mind. The tenderness and sense of safety as Shin risked everything to stop the Btooom Soldiers of their second mission. The time where all of Team Japan came together to confront the darkness of the Labyrinth in the world of Apocalypse Alice. The difficulties of Hunter X Hunter - Greed Island that they faced together and were now just about to overcome at long last
Hikari’s eyes went out of focus as she recalled all these memories, her body stopped trembling from the fear of feeling helpless and the thoughts of her comrades dying, and her tears stopped. Hikari stood up from the basement and looked outward as if there was more to the dark basement around her. At the same time her Persona that always stood behind, Adrasteia, radiated brightly with a blue light showing an increase of Psyche Force Power.
Hikari had entered into Unlocked Mode at last. Having unlocked the Genetic Constraint to the First Stage she could “see” everything around her with newfound clarity. People, places, things that were far away all felt so close to her that she could reach out and grab them... which lead to a new idea born from combat instincts flowing through her mind. Hikari locked on to the location of all her comrades scattered across Limeiro and silhouettes of them made up of information from Psyche Force appeared through her eyes. Information about each target flowed through Hikari's mind and she then raised her hand towards them to apply her magic spells towards her first target Shin.
Hikari: "Wind Spirit! Water Spirit! Lightning Spirit! Fire Spirit! Earth Spirit!"
Hikari applied her five magic buffs upon Shin from a great distance. Offensive power, defensive power, speed, stamina, and most of all our healing factors were increased the effects of the magic buffs... yet she was not satisfied. Disregarding the short duration of her spells she didn't feel that it was enough to truly help him and that's why she didn't stop there. Once more Hikari targeted Shin for her five magic buffs and didn't stop till until the effects would not stack any further.
Hikari: "Wind Spirit! Water Spirit! Lightning Spirit! Fire Spirit! Earth Spirit!... Wind Spirit! Water Spirit! Lightning Spirit! Fire Spirit! Earth Spirit!"
Two more times Hikari applied her magic buff spells for a grand total of three stacks of each buff. A grand rainbow veil of light enveloped Shin granting him the force of fifteen magic buff spells. Offensive power, defensive power, speed, and stamina that normal increase by an individuals standard by 30% was now 90%, and healing factors by 450%.
Hikari: "This... this isn't enough! I can't fight so I have to do much more! Wind Spirit! Water Spirit! Lightning Spirit! Fire Spirit! Earth Spirit! Wind Spirit! Water Spirit! Lightning Spirit! Fire Spirit! Earth Spirit! Wind Spirit! Water Spirit! Lightning Spirit! Fire Spirit! Earth Spirit!"
Hikari then locked onto all of her other comrades across Limeiro. They all needed her assistance and she didn't hesitate to do so. Hikari then like she did with Shin applied her five magic buff spells on all of her comrades to increase their chances of survival. She didn't know exactly how much how much her spells would help in the long run, but she could tell at the very least that Misaki and Jin who were badly injured were recovering after having their strength and especially healing factors increased.
Hikari: "Good. With this..."
Hikari wanted that she did all she could and can only hope for the best, however in the middle of doing so she fell to the ground of the basement in great pain. Hikari's body was convulsing violently like she was experiencing extreme pain. Tear were running down her face and she coughed up blood. Three seconds later, she opened her mouth and tried to breath yet her lungs didn’t expand. The air couldn’t enter her lungs.
Hikari who had been moving on autopilot didn't know what was going on till it was too late. She unlocked her Genetic Constraint for the very first time when she expanded her abilities as a Persona user and applied multiple magic buffs to her comrades all across Limeiro. The first time entering the Unlocked Mode was always the most dangerous. That pain felt worse than death itself. Shin, Aqua, Misaki, Connor, and recently Jin would say that they would always remembered the first time they experienced the pain as it’s something impossible to forget, but Hikari was having it worse than any of them. Hikari’s physical stats were lower than any of them, including Connor who did so before arriving in God's Dimension, when they unlocked their constraints. It was all too easy for her to now die from suffocation or something else... but thankfully help arrived.
Kisara, after defeating the enemy Nen Users invading the mansion, returned to the basement to find Hikari on the floor in great pain. She then swiftly moved to Hikari's side to examine her and discovered that she had unlocked her constraint. Kisara's family was one that knew about the Genetic Constraint and the effects, good and bad, that it could have on the body and so she knew what to do knowing that Hikari couldn't withstand unlocking her constrain. Kisara took a deep breath then kissed her without hesitation to begin CPR (cardio-pulmonary resuscitation), the process that would keep blood flowing through her body. Kisara forced air into Hikari's lungs, and immediately began to pump her chest. While modern forms of CPR have begun bypassing blowing air into the patient’s lungs, unlocking the Genetic Constraint was different than mundane situations. When Hikari began to breathe on her own, Kisara kept her body still so she wouldn't hurt herself, and did whatever she could to keep her alive till the aftereffects passed.
A few minutes passed like this and finally Hikari came out of the pain. Fortunately, the majority of the pain occurred in her mind and not her physical body. So although she was still feeling a little headache, it was not life threatening. Kisara noticed this and realized that Hikari's was a different type than the normal ones like Shin and Aqua experienced. A type that mainly unlocks the mental functions of the brain and one that saved her life as she had low stats.
Kisara: "Hikari, are you alright? I came back as soon as I could, but... I'm sorry. I should have-"
Hikari: "It's fine. You did what I couldn't do... but..."
Kisara: "But?"
Hikari: "I'm glad that Shin wasn't around to see this. For one it would worry him... but he would also have died from shock if he saw us kissing."
Kisara: "You can't call CPR a kiss, right? I like you Hikari... but I won't count this as my first kiss. That's for the man you intend to enter into marriage with. Anyways, how are you feeling now? You just unlocked your constraint."
Hikari: "That state of mind is the unlocked mode? I don’t know. I felt like thoughts were moving on my instincts alone. When I concentrated I could see everyone as if they were in front of me. Nothing escaped my scans and..."
Kisara: "Hikari? Anyways this is a good thing that you unlocked your constraint. It's a much sought out ability in my family and one that I have yet to reach. Still I advise you to not unlock it again for the reminder of the mission. I don't think we'll be here much longer, but going into Unlocked Mode, especially with your low stats is very dangerous. Your DNA might fall apart if you use it too frequently in the beginning. Then you will die if you can’t get back to God’s dimension in time according to Shin. My family developed a method to survive and get used to the Genetic Constraint, but requires special medicines and weeks of rehab to restore one’s body and to fully get used to going into that state as you please."
Hikari: "I don't want to do that again, so I'll listen to you, but there's something more important than my health that we need to deal with right now."
Kisara: "What?"
Hikari: "Shin and Misaki... they are in danger!"
