Karo:
"Aydin, will you tell us why we are meeting here?"
Aydin:
"Why the rush, Father?"
Haidyn: (Calmly)
"Speak briefly. I have a companion I want to speak to."
Aydin:
"Be patient, Haidyn, because this matter is the key to salvation."
Bala:
"Don't be arrogant and conceited. Say what you have to say directly."
Aydin: (Looking at Kamsaki)
"I want to ask you about something. Where did you bring Max from?"
Kamsaki: (Calmly)
"From the orphanage, of course."
Aydin:
"Do you realize you have brought a disaster? Everyone who touches or holds him meets with bad luck and eventually dies."
Kamsaki:
"These are just baseless superstitions."
Aydin:
"Do you know that six people have been afflicted by his curse? If it were just one person, perhaps I would be convinced by your words, but six... The matter is truly strange."
Haidyn: (To himself)
"I must kill him before Aydin can exploit him."
Karo: (Calmly)
"Aydin is right. It seems like a curse trying to destroy us."
Bala:
"Don't tell me you are thinking of killing him!"
Aydin: (With chilling calmness)
"Yes, we will annihilate him. But there's no problem if no one touches him."
Ayden:
"I've truly run out of patience! You want to kill Hiden, and then kill Max? What is wrong with you?"
Aiden:
"Calm down, Hiden, stay where you are. We won't harm you now, because I wish to kill you when you grant me the pleasure I seek."
Hiden remained silent and calm.
Aiden:
"You are smart, and I want to engage in a war of wits with you, not just a physical fight."
Karu:
"By the way, how did you get that blow, Kamsaki?"
Kamsaki (trying hard to hide his tension):
"It's just a simple bruise, nothing more. I got it while I was exploring a place."
Aiden:
"Then why did you suddenly stop exploring?"
Kamsaki (his tension increases, and he slowly raises his eyebrows):
"Simply because I've gotten older and these pursuits have exhausted me."
While Dayren was calmly smoking a cigarette, he asked:
Dayren:
"Is it time for me to leave?"
Aiden (a calm smile spreads across his face):
"Dayren, how old are you?"
Dayren:
"Eighteen. Why such a silly question when you know the answer?"
Aiden:
"Just an inquiry, because an adult like you should fully bear his responsibilities."
🌕 Moonlight and the Mysterious Message
Night fell. The sky was studded with stars. Hiden was asleep on his bed, and the silver moonlight flooded the room.
Hiden sent a text message to Kazuma.
Somewhere else, Kazuma was watching TV when the message arrived.
Kazuma quietly opened it.
Kazuma:
"It's a message from Hiden."
The incoming message from Hiden:
"I'm fine so far, so don't worry. How is the house?"
Kazuma picked up his phone and typed a short message.
The outgoing message from Kazuma:
"The house is somewhat good. It's the best house, thank you."
We return to Kazuma's house. Kazuma was running quickly, chasing a small mouse carrying and fleeing with a piece of bread.
Kazuma (shouting passionately):
"Give me back my bread, you wretch!"
The mouse quickly disappeared through a narrow hole in the wall.
Kazuma (sharply, with suppressed anger):
"When you show up, you damned mouse, I will chop you into tiny pieces!"
Kazuma sat on the floor, closing his eyes, regaining his usual calm.
Kazuma (in complete tranquility):
"I don't feel any change in my pattern."
Constraint and Condition: Deception and Revelation
Two symbols or entities, "Constraint" (Qayd) and "Condition" (Shart), appeared in Kazuma's consciousness.
Kazuma (with slight surprise):
"It's you two again."
Constraint (Qayd):
"We forgot to tell you something."
Condition (Shart):
"We lied to you. Your pattern hasn't changed at all; it remained exactly as it was."
Kazuma (rising steadily from his place):
"Then you two are liars."
Constraint (Qayd):
"There is a positive matter concerning you."
Kazuma (with a calmness that raises suspicion):
"What is it?"
Condition (Shart):
"The positive matter is that you can now use all the 'Shin' patterns."
Condition (Shart) (continuing to clarify):
"We know everything about you; when you clench your right fist, a fiery aura appears. This is one result, and it is that your pattern is the 'Blazing' (Al-Wahhaj), and you cannot change it."
Kazuma (with deadly calm):
"Then why did you deceive me?"
Condition (Shart) and Constraint (Qayd) fell silent for a moment.
Condition (Shart):
"But the good point is that you can use your original pattern while executing the strike."
Constraint (Qayd):
"You are 'Blazing' (Wahhaj), Kazuma. And within the 'Shin' system, you can use the other patterns in the following percentages
Transformation 80%
Visible 60%
Creator 50%
Manipulator 40%
Singular 0%
Condition (Shart):
"This means, Kazuma, that you have a chance to change the pattern you wish to use during the moment of the strike."
Kazuma (with calm acceptance):
"That serves the purpose."
Kazuma:
"I have a question I'm curious to ask you both."
Constraint (Qayd) and Condition (Shart) remained listening in anticipation.
Kazuma (asking calmly and confidently):
"Are you two Lena and Alex?"
Condition (Shart) (laughing softly):
"No, we are not them. But I feel they are two people with good qualities."
The Shin Stage: Pattern Test
The focus shifted to Ai, who was standing in the room in front of a table centered by a strange stone.
Ai (in a calm, inquiring voice):
"What is the nature of this stage?"
Takeura (calmly):
"This is the final stage of our training, dedicated to recognizing your personal 'Shin' pattern."
Ai wrapped her hands around the stone.
Takeura (calmly):
"Activate your aura."
Ai activated her aura, which began to surround her and the stone.
It was noted that the stone remained unchanged.
Ai started breathing rapidly, looking at Takeura.
Ai (with cautious calm):
"Nothing happened. Are you sure no error will occur?"
Takeura:
"Touch the stone."
Ai touched the stone with her fingertips, and for a few moments, the material of the stone began to stretch and take shape.
Takeura:
"You are a Creator. You can create any weapon or tool you desire."
Takeura (calmly and warningly):
"Now, since you are a Creator, you must know that Creators are often physically weak, unless they possess sharp strategic intelligence."
Ai:
"Does this mean I am weak?"
Takeura:
"I don't mean that directly, but the fighting strength percentage of the Creator pattern itself is low compared to the other patterns."
Takeura:
"As a Creator, you can use the other patterns at the following percentages:"
Creator 100%
Manipulator 90%
Transformer 60%
Blazing 40%
Singular 0%
Takeura (calmly):
"These are the percentages of the patterns you can use."
Ai (frowning in annoyance):
"I am exhausted. I will go and get some rest."
Hiden was sitting atop the palace dome. Stars filled the sky, and the bright moonlight enveloped the place.
He had his left leg bent, while his right leg remained stretched out. He was looking up at the sky with his eyes closed, his soft blue hair playing with the gentle breeze.
Hiden (with deep tranquility):
"Our world is beautiful; look at the moon, how it illuminates the world in the dead of darkness, and at the twinkling stars... This world of ours has only been destroyed by those pointless human conflicts."
Hiden (sighing):
"Every time I see this scene, I become consumed by the thought of killing everyone who threatens my peace."
The camera shifted to Kazuma, who was standing in the same scene, on the rooftop of a towering building, where the stars seemed close to him. He stood upright, and his loose clothing (which you mentioned as an elegant orange combat suit and a black cloak) moved fluidly.
Kazuma raised his arms up and closed his eyes.
Kazuma (with calm firmness):
"Rest in peace, Nitch. Because I will turn the world upside down for you."
Kazuma (adding with determination):
"One day, I will find a path to my justice for this beautiful world. I will definitely understand myself through this justice of mine."
Morning Sunrise and Palace Breakfast
Early morning arrived, with birds chirping along with the sunrise. Hiden went downstairs to the breakfast table.
Aiden (smiling):
"You're late for breakfast."
Hiden was wearing a dark black formal suit.
Hiden (smiling):
"Good morning."
Bala:
"Please, my boy, sit down."
Hiden:
"Where is my sister Ai?"
Karu:
"She's still sleeping. It seems exhaustion overcame her yesterday
Aiden (Calmly):
"Father, what are you planning to do today?"
Karo:
"I'll be roaming around a bit, accompanied by Hiden."
Hiden remained silent, with a look of astonishment plastered across his face.
Karo (In a quiet voice):
"I will converse with Hiden as a father and his son."
