"Holy crap…"
Loki rubbed her eyes, wondering if she was seeing things. But no—her vision was fine.
While updating Tiona and Tione's Falna, she'd discovered something shocking: the sisters had gained a new skill.
[Dying Will Veins: Through training, the user has gained the qualification to access the Gate of Dying Will; Attributes: "Sun," "Storm."]
"A completely new kind of power…"
The sight left Loki genuinely slack-jawed.
She already knew that Tsuna had been spending a lot of time lately with the Amazon sisters. She'd even been hoping those two would surprise her soon.
But she hadn't expected this. Barely a week had passed, and already such a massive surprise was right in front of her.
"Dying Will Veins," huh? It was different from the Dying Will Flame that Tsuna possessed.
The Veins felt like a fragment of authority, a partial derivative that could be acquired by others through special means—even by those who didn't originally wield that power.
The most direct proof of that: Tsuna's Dying Will Flame was whole, unaligned—pure.
What Tiona and Tione held was only a portion of that power.
Loki's astonishment slowly melted into exhilaration.
"Well, well~ looks like I've stumbled onto something huge."
She was absolutely certain now—Dying Will Flame was Tsuna's unique ability, a fundamental power rooted in another world entirely.
No one from this world should ever have been able to possess it.
But now, that "absolute" rule had been broken—because of Tsuna.
And what did that mean? The answer was simple.
The two worlds were beginning to intertwine on a deeper level.
That kind of intersection wasn't bad news. In fact, it was the opposite—an incredibly good sign.
For gods, the worst possible state was stagnation. The same went for the world itself.
"Stagnation" meant a future already decided, every path written like lines in a script.
That was the kind of world where "apocalypse" became inevitable.
But once the world began to change—accepting something it was never meant to have—that fixed future began to unravel.
And that, to a god like Loki, was the best kind of news.
"If Ouranos heard about this, I bet he'd be thrilled too."
She chuckled to herself. "Still… if something like this can really happen, maybe that glimpse of the future Tsuna saw was this world's fixed fate."
Loki exhaled softly, relief in her eyes.
Even if she didn't believe the future was ever set in stone, if Tsuna hadn't literally dropped into her bath that day, maybe things truly would've been predetermined.
But now, the world had changed—and that change stemmed from Tsuna.
That alone made it worth celebrating.
"In that case, Tsuna's world probably needs to forge more connections with this one."
"Spreading the Falna system there… yeah, that could work out nicely."
She grinned mischievously. "Guess I'll just have to take a trip to Tsuna's world myself."
It was like injecting chaos into a fixed equation—making the outcome impossible to define, birthing infinite possibilities.
Because of Tsuna, both worlds had now entered that state of "flux."
Change itself wasn't inherently good or bad—it was undetermined.
Which meant it needed guidance.
How to guide it? Loki already had a simple answer.
Let the two worlds, once divided by barriers, deepen their connection.
The easiest form of connection was power.
Just like what Tsuna had already done—probably without even realizing it.
The moment that "absolute" boundary was broken, the link between worlds had begun to stabilize.
And once that happened, it meant the world itself had started to accept change.
"If the world could talk," Loki murmured, smirking, "I wonder what it'd say right now?"
Her curiosity lingered for a moment, but she soon shook it off and patted Tione on the back.
"Alright, your update's done."
"Your other Status values didn't change much, but your Magic stat got quite a boost."
"Tiona went from zero to six-twenty-three."
"Tione, from two-twenty-six up to seven-forty-one."
It wasn't the 999 cap, but the growth in Magic stood apart from their other stats entirely.
That kind of improvement came not from brute strength, but from how often—and how creatively—they used magic.
Clearly, that new skill, Dying Will Veins, had completely transformed them.
The Sun and Storm attributes it granted were essentially magic of their own class, existing beyond normal spell categories.
And by using that power, both sisters had naturally raised their Magic stat as well.
Even so, for just one week of training, the growth was unreal. Loki couldn't even imagine how exactly they were channeling that new energy.
Still, results were results—and she couldn't help feeling pleased.
She handed Tione the freshly printed status sheet.
"You've got a new skill."
Tione's eyes immediately locked onto it, skipping right over the Magic increase.
After all, compared to a new skill, stat growth felt secondary.
"That's Tsuna's training paying off," Loki said with a grin. "You've managed to grasp a portion of his power."
"So your and Tiona's new strength isn't the Dying Will Flame itself, and it's not a spell either—it's a skill."
That difference in name, and in where it appeared on the Falna, said everything about how special its origin was.
"So," Loki teased, "Tsuna's been giving you two private lessons lately, huh?"
Tione froze mid-celebration, remembering Ais's faintly resentful gaze. Her face twitched.
"It's not like that! Tsuna never said the training was just for me and Tiona."
"Ais will get her turn soon enough."
Still, she quickly steadied herself.
She knew that if she and Tiona had succeeded, the others would follow eventually. They wouldn't be the only ones forever.
But even so—Tione's confidence didn't waver.
They might not be the only ones.
But they would always be the first.
Joy surged within her.
