A man, while on top a building (right foot on the edge) in elegant clothes, watches on his phone (landscape) with his right hand: Baki's performance.
He watches with disdain.
Higuruma Yakt
Age: 24
Noble (Head of the Yakt House)
"What is this?" He asks, spins his phone down, grabs it and tosses it.
On the way, it spins vertically as he puts his hands in his Trench Coat's pockets.
It smashes into the glass of a building and the place detonates.
Lots of people around, run for their lives.
During so, he turns to the back from his right and walks.
"I cannot hold in my hands such a thing that bears that nonsense." He says.
"Does he know it's in the net?" - Mecca.
"I don't think so. Nobles are naturally dumb." - Ferdinand.
Mecca and Nankin laugh like maniacs.
Baki lays upon the sky, with his arms behind his head, left leg crossed over the right.
He appears far.
Akado climbs up the sky towards his left. She reaches and stops a few meters away. Then asks after folding her arms...
"What're you doing here? Why are you like this?"
"Oh, nothing." Baki confirms as he looks to her and faces front again.
She brings down her arms.
"This is unlike you. Does it bother you?" - Akado.
"What?" - Baki.
"The Test." - Akado.
"No." - Baki.
"You don't need to lie to me." - Akado.
He opens his mouth and holds for a little time, then says...
"I wonder... Do we have a God?"
Akado blinks while holding her knuckles against her waist.
"I mean, it doesn't make sense. Our teachings tell us there is no God. But I feel it! How can this divine mechanism exist without there being Someone?" He asks last and looks at Akado.
She blinks and says...
"You're right."
Then turns her face to the left.
She observes the world below her.
"I also believe there's a God." She confesses.
"That's why I trust you." - Baki.
"Lmao." She says with a smile.
He gets up with a grunt and says on the way...
"And as for the test..."
She looks to him.
He stands erect and finishes with...
"Whatever happens, happens."
Then looks to her on the last word.
She smiles and comes to him with open arms, calling with warmth...
"Baki."
They hug as Baki calls too, with warmth...
"Akado."
Wind blows by.
|Zekin Yoshina|
Inside an isolated great building, deep down to its roots; Nobles: Head and Peasant remain sitted in a circle observing.
"This...has been practiced since the beginning of time and we all know that! It would be a shame for it not to continue! Whence a Child of a Noble Head is born, a ritual must be conducted. To determine whether that Child is fit! Indeed, it is a great calling!" Higuruma jests and the Nobles laugh.
Kira and Urilia watch with a face of stone as Kelun watches with a smile.
Higuruma takes down the mic on his right hand. Then taps the tip of his right foot twice on the floor and stomps.
Immediately, the floor shakes as mechanisms shift.
Then, a compartment containing spirit energy rises. In the middle, a Katana holds inside of it.
The Peasants clap.
"Lmao." - Godric.
Susan blinks with her arms folded. Right leg crossed over the left.
Whereas Plushie fights slumber.
A girl walks in.
The light hits her face and Higuruma back steps into the dark.
He watches with interest.
Daring Yakt
Age: 5
Noble (Heir to the Yakt House)
She stands in front of the hilt of the blade.
The Nobles watch.
"Go on my child. I am with you." Higuruma assures, telephatically.
She takes a breath and grabs it with her right hand.
Pressure comes pounding. She releases slight sounds of struggle and engulfs herself in aura.
They go bar for bar as the Peasants, Heads and her Father watch.
Eventually, it comes to an end. The pressure dies, together with her aura.
Then she opens her eyes.
The Peasants clap and chant.
She nods at her Dad and he nods back.
She turns to her back from the right and proceeds.
Tears roll down his eyes and he raises right hand.
The Peasants don't notice.
He brings down four fingers and pounds them with pressure.
Except the Kotetsu's.
They struggle. Through it all, five (3 men, 2 women) collapse and he drops his hand.
The pressure comes undone.
"Take it easy." - Kira.
"Forgive me." Higuruma pleads and a boy walks in.
He comes into the light.
Enkilah Muslim
Age: 5
Noble (Heir to the Muslim House)
He takes a left step and stops before the sword.
He now stretches his right hand as they watch and grabs it.
He feels something strong and shouts...
"Hei!"
Some of the Peasants fight it, the urge to laugh.
His body vibrates in a zigzag manner as they do.
It releases pressure and Enkilah unleashes great aura.
Wind engulfs the area. The Peasants yelp while the Heads look.
Urilia becomes the more keen.
His hyperventilates while holding a grit and finally, screams with power.
His aura release goes higher and the pressure comes heavier.
The place shakes.
"This one's crazy!" - Plushie.
"Plushie!" - A Head calls.
Romeo Muslim
Age: 39
Noble (Head of the Muslim House)
"Shut up nigga!" She orders and the Heads cackle. Surprisingly, Urilia and Kira too.
His screams linger until it's over.
He stands tall and lets go of the hilt.
The Peasants clap and chant.
Enkilah backs out. Turns behind from his right and leaves.
The noise stops.
Baki comes in.
The Peasants and the Heads become still.
Urilia and Kira grow a little tense and Kelun lets out a wild grin.
He comes for the Katana.
He glares at it for a while and stretches out his left hand.
The Nobles watch.
He reaches and grabs the hilt.
He carries an emotionless face as Kira squeezes and cracks his left hand upon his thigh.
Suddenly the pressure comes dropping like a bomb and he goes down with a grit.
He lands on his knees and begins to suffer.
He throws his head back and groans while holding his left arm.
Meanwhile, inside the Throne Rooms, Daniel and Akado watch.
"Baki-chan." He calls softly.
"Baki." - Akado (softly as well)
Urilia and Kira stay still while Kelun's grin deepens.
Urilia shifts her eyes to him by her far right while he does so.
The floor underneath his knees crack and he shouts but never lets go.
Akado becomes worried.
Daniel is restless.
Baki screams, struggles and puts his right foot on the ground. He gets up.
On the way, he screams, twitches and keeps going.
All these he does while aura flickers upon his body.
He stomps his left foot and gets blown away with an explosion.
Akado gasps
Daniel eyes shake
Kira's mouth opens
Urilia, Prat and Emelia get up. Likewise the Kotetsu's, except Kelun.
The Nobles gasp and chatter.
All these happen at the same time.
Higuruma stares as Baki hits the floor with his back, bounces and lands with his front.
The noises die and Higuruma declares...
"That will be it!"
The mechanisms reverse and the compartment goes in.
He walks into the light.
"What I have seen, Lord Kotetsu Baki, is something that has never been seen in history. Not only your spirit energy is at the level of a Peasant, you lack proper control of it!"
The Peasants gasp.
"It's constant fluctuations spell: lack of talent. In all, no resilience!" - Higuruma.
Kira and Urilia close their eyes
The Kotetsu's express pain
Prat, Emelia, Daniel and Akado do the same while Kelun chuckles.
"What do you have to say for yourself, Lord Baki?" He asks.
After a little while, Baki gets up.
Everyone becomes eager.
He stands with his face bent and faces him then smiles.
The Peasants gasp once again.
"Well if I am not good enough. All I have to do is get better. Is that not what the teachings say?" - Baki.
"You do understand you are a Kotetsu?" - Higuruma.
"That didn't stop the setback, did it? It goes to show that being a Noble, doesn't make you perfect." Baki declares.
The Peasants and a number of the Heads express shock.
While some stay nonchalant and the rest, cheerful.
Kelun grits.
Urilia, Kira, Akado and Daniel smile.
Prat and Emelia become joyous.
"Well then, this concludes everything." Higuruma declares and moves forward.
He passes Baki's left.
Baki turns from his left, alligns himself with him and asks...
"So, what now?"
"Me. I'm gonna go meet a prostitute." - Higuruma.
"Sounds fun." - Baki.
"It is." - Higuruma.
The Nobles leave, from different entrances.
