The sun shines, encasing Aria's room in a gentle golden glow. Aria covers her face with her blanket, refusing to wake up from slumber as the rays hit her forehead. At the same time, Liza enters the room ready to assist her lady in preparing for the day. "Aria..... Aria, come on, my lady, how many times do we have to go through this? You are going to be late for your 9 am training." Liza says as she gently tugs Arias' blanket. " Just five more minutes," Aria says. Liza goes and opens the room's large curtains, allowing the rays of the sun to enter the room fully. "Fine, I will get up," Aria says as she gets off her bed and goes to the bathroom to shower and prepare herself, as Liza places one of the uniforms Bhaal made for her on a nearby chair.
After a while, Aria comes out of her personal bathhouse and puts on the uniform Bhaal gave her as Liza finishes setting up her breakfast on the nearby table. " I think that's about it. Forgive me for today, I won't be able to have breakfast, as I have quite a large number of chores. Should you need anything, just call me with your Jade Pass. Have a wonderful day, my lady." Liza says as she exits the room with a large basket containing Arias dirty clothes. "Bye, Liza," Aria replies.
"Morning Aria, "Vroooom... Wroooom... Vrrr... Rata taa tataah!, Hope you woke up well," Dream says as Aria takes a sip of her tea. "Morning to you, too. What the hell was that vroooom sound just now? "Oh, it's nothing much, it's just me, Yinrou, and Azu riding one of your cars, to be specific, the modified black Lamborghini Huracán." Dream says as he makes a holographic screen appear in front of Aria, which shows them inside a modified black Lamborghini Huracán. Arias's black Lamborghini Huracán is a sleek, futuristic transportation marvel, its black glossy surface catching the light with a mirror-like shine. The sharp, aerodynamic lines give it an aggressive stance, ready to unleash fury on the road. When it roars to life, the engine emits a deep, guttural growl, a powerful, menacing sound that rises into a high-pitched scream as it accelerates. The noise is a perfect blend of raw power and speed, echoing the thrill of adrenaline. Dream is driving while Yinrou and Azu sit comfortably inside, feeling the rush of the joy ride within Arias' vast internal world. " What the hell?" Aria says as the holographic screen appears in front of her. "Relax, my lady, it's just a new feature I have adopted from the automaton race." Dream replies.
"Wait, how is that metal carriage moving without a horce?" Aria asks, seemingly excited. "This is one of Bhaal's vehicles, which he got from Earth 92. Each of them has been modified to use a rare type of stone called rogue stone as a power source for the cars, meaning they don't need oil to function like others of its kind. Thanks to this, they can function for 200 years before needing one to change it. Unlike the horses and carriage from your previous and current world, they are fast and efficient." Dream says. "Earth 92, just how many Earths are there ?"Aria asks. "I honestly don't know from the various records I have obtained, Bhaal figured out a way to travel various worlds, that's why he has many strange items from different worlds.
"Also, as I was reading about the Hashiras, I have found out something quite absurd. Did you know the breathing styles are fake?"Dream says. "What do you mean? I have tried using flame breathing first form to create flames, but so far, I am only able to execute the technique correctly. " Let me explain to you, see how you are now able to perform the First Form Unknowing Fire correctly. How exactly do you do it?" Dream asks as he presses a button labeled "Auto Pilot" on the dashboard, and almost instantly, the car's systems activate, smoothly transitioning into self-driving mode. The destination is set to one of Aria's storage facilities. As the vehicle begins to glide effortlessly across the expansive 1.5-kilometer island, which now has various well-built roads, all of which lead to various locations within the internal world. Inside the car, a holographic screen is seen, displaying Aria who is currently drinking tea, while Yinrou, the shadow wolf, lounges on his seat with his head out the window, feeling the rush of the wind through his fur, ears twitching as he enjoys the exhilarating ride. Meanwhile, Azu, the white vortex spider, is perched comfortably on the rear-view mirror, her bright eyes sparkling with joy as she basks in the thrill of their journey. While Dream continues to have their conversation with Aria on the holographic screen.
"Well, when I use Flame Breathing, I visualize myself mimicking how flames behave as I unleash the sword technique as described by the manual," Aria replies. "Exactly, basically what I mean is this, most of the breathing styles which were created did not actually produce fire, wind water as you may think, except for moon breathing, almost all of the demon slayers were only mimicking a particular element like fire when executing their sword technique if you were to fight a demon slayer you would probably not be able to see any fire, water or wind in real life like that which you saw from your brother Varyn when he uses Aura."Dream says.
"Wait, what about the demons from that world were their abilities fake too?" Aria asks, "That's the irony in all this. No, their abilities were very much real. In that world, demons had special abilities called Blood Demon Arts, or in their language, Kekkei Genkai. For example, some of the notable demons included Akaza, who used super destructive martial arts with his punches, Doma, who controlled ice and snow to create weapons and freeze enemies, and my personal favorite, Kokushibo, a former demon slayer turned demon who used moon breathing sword techniques together with blood demonic arts. Kokushibo's Blood Demon Art was called Dark Moon Evening Palace. This ability allowed him to create and manipulate powerful, deadly blades made of his own flesh, which were incredibly durable and sharp. He could grow multiple blades from his body, turn his katana into a multi-branched weapon, and regenerate his sword if it's damaged. His Blood Demon Art, combined with his advanced combat skills and regeneration, made him an extremely formidable and terrifying opponent, second only to Muzan Kibutsuji.
"So you mean to tell me the demon slayers were only humans with extraordinary physical capabilities and unique swordsmanship who fought Demons that could use powerful blood demonic arts?" Aria says. "Yes, it's actually quite admirable, just imagine normal human beings pushing past their limits to fight beings who could regenerate and had supernatural powers." Dream says, "Did you find any manuals on blood demonic arts when you were analyzing the contents of my space ring?"Aria asks. "Sadly, no, but I did find several journals containing info on various key figures, including several Hashiras, upper moon demons, and the king of demons himself, Muzan Kibutsuji. From Bhaal's journal of his time on earth 54, I have learnt that he created and used a clone of a regular human with the Alias of a doctor to live among the normal people of that world, where he used his doctor cover to look for test subjects for an experiment he was conducting. He spent years looking for a human who would be a suitable test subject. He wanted to test if he could turn normal humans into Slayers. For years, he researched various humans, but all his experiments failed, and they died due to incompatibility with his slayer avatar genes. That's when he found Muzan Kibutsuji, a human who had been ill from birth. From what I have gathered he used the blood of a creature known as the slayer and through alchemy used it together with a rare flower known as the blue spider lily in order to treat and cure Muzan Kibutsuji while still testing if he could handle the slayers genes, At first he did not know that the potion had actually worked, It was during this time when he was treating Muzan that his human doctor clone was mysteriously killed, him wanting to know what had happened to his previous clone He decided to create another clone this time he made a clone that took on the form of a craw, He went to investigate and found out that the human doctor clone was killed by Muzan Kibutsuji after he had administered the potion to him, Although shocked and enraged he noted that although Muzan was now healed and had gained some of the slayers abilities he was now incapable of walking in the sunlight as a side effect of the drug. Bhaal, wishing to see how his subject would fare, chose not to interfere but to watch him and observe him using his craw clone.
Bhaal continued to observe his test subject, Muzan, using his craw clone. From his notes, he described Muzan as cold-hearted, ruthless, intimidating, and exceptionally intelligent. He saw no value in any humans he had encountered and showed little regard for his own subordinates. He was rarely ever visibly upset or happy, maintaining a completely monotone and detached demeanor most of the time, even when callously murdering his own subordinates. The only times he ever displayed any emotion were when his vision of perfection was progressing or when his subordinates fully submitted to his will. Initially, his expressions would shift only slightly, with only a subtle change from his usual calm attitude, and his tone of voice remained consistently monotonous, emphasizing his detached nature. His cruel and imposing personality had earned him great admiration and fear among many demons. From this, Bhaal actually grew to like Muzan; he represented everything he stood for. Despite all this, Bhaal discovered Muzan had only one fear, and that was death. This was due to him being born "dead," where his heart would constantly stop.
Over the course of 3000 years, he monitored Muzan's activities, taking notes of the slayer's abilities, which Muzan now commanded. Muzan possessed an extensive array of formidable abilities that established him as the most powerful demon. His biological absorption allowed him to assimilate and dissolve both organic and inorganic objects. In combat, he could morph into monstrous, battle-ready forms, featuring a scale-like body covering, multiple jaws, and enhanced regenerative capabilities, allowing him to recover instantly from injuries and decapitation. Muzan wielded elongated, shapeshifting arm whips with sharp teeth and mouths, capable of precise slashes, powerful suction, and unpredictable attack patterns, supplemented by back and thigh whips for multi-directional assaults. He could unleash shockwave energy blasts that severely damaged nervous systems, and his regeneration was so advanced that he often appeared unharmed despite severe injuries. His blood, infused with the slayer's mutagenic properties, could transform humans into demons and empower existing demons, granting them rapid regeneration, immortality, enhanced physical prowess, and supernatural Blood Demon Arts. Muzan could transfer his blood and memories to hosts, revive himself through blood memory transfer, and implant fragments of his consciousness into demons, exerting influence over them. He could control demons to a certain extent, manipulate their flesh, and even cast a curse on those who revealed his name, leading to their destruction. His senses were highly acute, enabling him to perceive distant or hidden threats, and he was extremely fast, strong, and resilient, with limitless stamina and endurance. Additionally, Muzan possessed advanced biokinesis, allowing him to manipulate his body at will, contort into various forms, and alter his anatomy such as having multiple hearts and brains to resist decapitation. His techniques included creating thorny tendrils from his blood, unleashing devastating shockwaves, and employing a variety of Blood Demon Arts that made him a lethal and nearly unstoppable force.
Bhaal watched Muzan as he killed many people without any remorse. That was until Muzan met a genius swordsman who, despite being a human, fought Muzan on equal footing. His name was Yorichi. From this encounter, Muzan was deeply traumatized and scarred. During their battle, Yorichi swiftly overpowered Muzan by using a unique ability that allowed him to see through his vital organs and striking all his critical points with a single, powerful attack, leaving the Demon King stunned and unable to regenerate. The attack from Yoriichi's blade burned Muzan's cells so intensely that his wounds never fully healed, leaving scars that reappeared whenever he was weakened. For centuries, Muzan's fear of Yoriichi drove him to eliminate all Sun Breathing users and made him panic at the sight of Tanjiro's earrings, once belonging to Yoriichi, leading him to massacre the Kamado family in a frantic attempt to prevent any challenge to his power.
As years passed, Bhaal watched Muzans' feuds with the Hashira and Demon Slayer corps while mastering and recording their breathing styles. Out of all the Hashiras, Bhaal respected only one, Yoriichi Tsugikuni. Muzan died when he was caught in direct sunlight after being poisoned by Tamayo's anti-demon drug, which severely weakened his regenerative abilities and caused his cells to break down. This drug, developed by Tamayo, Yushiro, and Shinobu, had multiple stages: one that failed to turn him back into a human, another that aged him rapidly, a third that halted cell division, and a final one that destroyed his cells at a fundamental level. With his body heavily compromised and unable to escape, the sunlight finally burned him to death, marking the end of the Demon King.
After this, Bhaal returned to a world known as Eden Prime, where he used the knowledge obtained from Earth 54 to enhance and fix some of his slayer avatar weaknesses before traveling to a universe known as the Origin Continent, but that is a story for another day" Dream says as the black Lamborghini Huracán reaches the storage facility where Arias cars are currently packed. " Just who the hell is my father?" Aria asks as she looks at a nearby wall clock, which shows 8:57 am. "Damn it! I lost track of time. I am going to be late. I will talk to you later, guys." Aria says as Dream, Yinrou, and Azu wave goodbye on the holographic screen, which disappears after a while.
Aria rushes to take her sword Kuruyami, which he had placed on a nearby stand together with her jade pass and training bag pack, and Jets to the training hall, shocking all the guards and servants with her astonishing speed, and after a while of running across the central palace and halls, she arrives in the training hall immediately as the clock strikes 9:00 am. "What's up with you?" Lorcan Mistborn says as he momentarily pauses his training with one of the training dummies to talk with Aria. "Where is the rest of everyone?" Aria asks Lorcan. "Probably sleeping, did you forget Bhaal has gone to war, so we are free to train when we wish, it's not a must that you come here every day for the 9 am training session. Wait, you didn't know this, did you, little sister?" Lorcan says as he laughs. "Well, if that's true, why do all of you come here every day?" Aria asks. "Well, for me it's because I do not want to be left behind by my little sister; as for the others, they have their reasons." Lorcan answers. "Wait, Lorcan actually thinks I come here to train because I want to. I only came here because I thought there would be some sort of consequences. Plus, with my current relationship with my other sibling, it just feels weird," Aria says mentally.
Suddenly, the door to the training hall is opened, and the other crimson bloods enter, who include Kedan, Varyn, Darek, and Riven. "Hey…" Aria tries to greet his siblings, only to be given a cold shoulder even by his brother Kedan. "What's up with you guys? Seriously, you have been ignoring me since the family dinner we had with Bhaal. Only Lorcan is talking to me," Aria shouts. "You are seriously going to talk like that, after what you did?" Kedan answers with his usual loving smile, completely gone. " What are you talking about?"Aria asks. Kedan begins to approach Aria as, he nears her, he stops his gaze, becoming as sharp as a tiger.
"You're right, Aria, I need to be honest with you," Kedan begins, his voice calm but firm. "Your behavior during the family meal pissed me off, challenging my mother Elena like that, acting out in front of the entire family, it's not just about your words. It's about respect. In our world, respect isn't optional; it's the foundation of our power and standing."He pauses for a moment. "That kind of direct confrontation, especially in front of the family, can be seen as a challenge to authority, both theirs and ours." Kedan's gaze narrows slightly. "And honestly, for someone your age and talent, you should understand that your words carry weight. You can't afford to speak so impulsively, especially when it could cause trouble for your mother and even yourself down the line. Sure, I may be jealous of your talent, yes, but I also see you as an inexperienced individual who still needs to learn how to navigate the complex politics of our house." He sighs softly, placing a hand on her shoulder. "You have potential, Aria, but with that potential comes responsibility. You need to learn when to stand your ground and when to hold back for your own sake and for your family's honor. That confrontation might have felt justified to you, but it leaves a mark. And in our world, that mark can be a target ON YOUR BACK!!. Do you understand?" Kedan says as a smile begins to form on his face
Suddenly, Kedan's eyes widen in shock as Aria's body is engulfed with a mysterious blue energy whose intensity echoes through the tense air like a thunderclap. The blue energy surges around her in a brilliant, blazing aura, crackling with raw power and unrestrained emotion. Her voice, trembling with righteous fury, cuts through the silence. "So you expect me to stay silent when someone threatens my mother right in front of my face?" she roars, her voice a mixture of anger and defiance. "No! You listen to me, I may be a kid, but don't think that I will hesitate to kill each and every one of you if you lay a finger on my mother, Liza, or anyone I care about. Do I make myself clear?!" The force of her words is almost tangible, a tempest of pure, unfiltered blue like power erupting from her small frame. The dense, luminous blue energy erupts outward in a shockwave, swirling wildly and radiating an almost blinding light. It's as if her very will is manifesting into a storm of energy that refuses to be contained.
Kedan, Varyn, Darek, and Riven, already caught off guard, are thrown back by the sheer intensity of her aura. Their bodies convulse as the energy presses down upon them, forcing them to their knees with a struggle, their faces contorted with the effort to resist. Sweat beads on their foreheads, and veins bulge as they fight to stand, but the overwhelming force of her power keeps them subdued, kneeling helplessly. For a moment, silence reigns thick with tension and unspoken understanding. The raw display of her strength and passion leaves no doubt about her fierce resolve. Her eyes glow with a blue blaze that shows her unyielding determination, her voice unwavering.
"You hear me. I will protect the people I love, no matter what it takes. If anyone dares threaten what's mine, I will tear them apart with my bare hands." Aria says as the energy crackles and dissipates slowly, but the impact of her words and the display of her power linger heavily in the air, a clear warning etched into the very fabric of the tense moment. The tense silence hangs heavy in the air, thick with the aftershock of Aria's fierce declaration and the overwhelming display of her raw power.
Suddenly, Lorcan steps forward, his eyes wide with a mixture of awe and pride. Without hesitation, he gently lifts Aria to her feet, supporting her with a steadying hand. "Holy shit, was that Aura?" Lorcan exclaims, his voice filled with a mixture of admiration and astonishment as he gazes at her glowing form. Aria, still catching her breath, blinks in surprise. "Aura?" she repeats, her voice trembling slightly. Her eyes flicker with confusion, a mixture of uncertainty and curiosity. Lorcan's smile widens, a proud glint shining in his eyes. "I'm just amazed by your talent, little sister. You've actually awakened your Aura talent. I knew Bhaal said you'd be able to unlock it someday, but I didn't think it would happen this early." His voice is filled with awe as he gently brushes a hand over her hair. "Your talents are simply terrifying, Aura, magic, martial arts, swordsmanship, and your shadow familiar Yinrou, it's simply monstrous."
He carefully sets her back down, still beaming with pride, while the other four siblings struggle to stand, their faces a mix of awe and reverence. Darek, Riven, Varyn, and Kedan slowly rise, their expressions reflecting the magnitude of what they've just witnessed. Lorcan's gaze lingers on Aria, admiration evident in every word. "You're destined for something extraordinary, Aria. You've awakened a power that most only dream of. With your talent and strength, I have no doubt you'll forge your own path and change everything."The atmosphere shifts from tense confrontation to a moment of awe and recognition, as the siblings realize that their little sister's potential is truly beyond anything they could have imagined.
"Hey, Aria, forget about these guys, let's go spar together," Lorcan says as he takes Aria by the hand and moves towards the main Training arena, while the others remain stunned at Aria's aura display. "Big brother, you do know I can beat you if I decide to go out," Aria says as he smiles towards Lorcan. "You don't have to rub it in," Lorcan momentarily pouts. " In order to ensure fairness, I want you to use only your martial arts, swordsmanship, or aura, no magic spells, okay?" Lorcan says. "Fine, let's do this," Aria says to Lorcan, seemingly ignoring the rest of her siblings. Lorcan momentarily goes to the training area where he had placed his large broad sword next to one of the training dummies before returning to the center of the main arena.
"I see today you are using a new weapon."Lorcan says. "I got the sword from Father when I became his disciple."Aria replies. " I see, so are you ready to begin?" Lorcan says as he grips his broad sword in a fighting stance. " I am ready."Aria replies. "Very well, we begin on three," Lorcan says as he begins to count. " Three, two, one. Begin" Lorcan says as their sparing match begins with him taking the first move as he begins to rush towards Aria with his broad sword. "Fire dragon mystic art, Blazing Edge !!!" Lorcan says as his broad sword is engulfed in an aura of red fire, each swing sending fire-infused slashes towards Aria, but Aria dodges them as if they are nothing to her; to her, Lorcan's attacks seem to be moving slower than when she first fought all his siblings.
"Interesting, his aura sword techniques are quite impressive, but were they always this slow? The last time I fought them all together, I could keep up with their attack, but still, they have gotten even slower. Perhaps this is the effect of the Muya crystal."Aria says mentally. "What the hell is going on? How is Aria moving so fast? I can barely keep up with her. Is she really 1 year old? " Lorcan says mentally, "Okay, this is just ridiculous. How the actual fuck are you moving so fast, Aria? I can barely keep up," Lorcan says to Aria as the other siblings move closer to observe the fight. " Well, it's not that difficult. I am just predicting your sword techniques based on how you are swinging your blade."Aria replies. "Wait, what!! is that even possible? Are you even using Aura?" Lorcan asks. "Nope, just simple martial arts," Aria says with a cute, guileless facial expression.
"What!! Just how high is the gap between us?" Lorcan says mentally. "Okay, Aria, I want you to take on the offensive. Use an Aura-infused attack on me if you manage to disarm me or land a critical hit; you win, and I will give 500 of my merit points." Lorcan says, simply refusing to believe he could lose the bet. "Lorcan, you can't be serious. Merit points are extremely valuable within the family. Do you want to risk them for a simple bet?" Varyn says to Lorcan. "Hey, Varyn, mind your own fucking business," Lorcan says to Varyn. "So Aria, what do you say?" "What are merit points?" Aria asks. "Merit points are points given to Bhaalspawn family members who have completed their gauntlet examination when they complete various missions assigned by the mission hall. They can be used to purchase various magic items from the family treasury."Lorcan replies. "I see, Fine, I accept the bet, but could you explain to me how Aura actually works before we continue?" Aria says.
"Okay, let me explain it in simple terms. " Aura, is basically the ability to project your WILL to the physical world. Think of it as the very essence of your soul manifesting outward. Aura is the core of a fighter's supernatural abilities. Skilled individuals can control and enhance it to perform incredible feats, from elemental attacks to physical boosts. Visually, an Aura can be invisible, but when it's strong enough, it often appears as a radiant, flame-like glowing energy around the user. For example, the aura you released was blue in color. The color of your Aura can tell a lot about your power level, your emotional state, and even your unique abilities. A powerful Aura doesn't just look impressive; it affects others emotionally and psychologically. A strong one can make opponents feel fear or paralysis just by releasing it, like what you did to Kedan and the others. You can also channel your Aura to make yourself stronger, faster, and more resilient. Advanced users like Kedan's mother can even shape it into weapons or armor, and those who have fully mastered aura have the innate ability to transform it into other forms of energy. With training, you can learn to read other people's Auras, gaining insight into their strengths, feelings, or intentions. Some can even hide their Auras to stay hidden. Your Aura is deeply connected to your spirit and soul. Some like you are born with a naturally strong one, while others like us have to develop it through training and effort. What you've awakened is just the beginning. Your Aura is a monstrous power, and with it, you can do things most can only dream of." Lorcan says as he finishes his lecture to Aria.
"Thanks, big brother, I believe I get it, I think I am ready, get ready to lose the bet," Aria says as he smiles at Lorcan, clearly planning something. "I just had an Idea, what if I use my configuration ability to integrate flame breathing together with aura to see what the effect will be? Dream, are you ready?" Aria says telepathically to Dream, who has already activated the configuration ability within her internal world, and is currently integrating her idea and seeing if he is able to create a new skill for her master. "Already one step ahead of you, my lady, just one moment, Dream says as a purple energy glows from his eyes. As the Dreamer activates Arias' Configuration skill within her internal world, a swirling vortex of luminous energy spirals around him. Ethereal runes and geometric patterns float in the air, shimmering with iridescent light, each symbol representing different elements, skills, and potential abilities. The air crackles with a low hum of mysterious power, resonating with the Dreamer's intent. Suddenly, the patterns converge into a radiant core of pure energy that enters Aria's sea of conscience. This core pulses with vibrant colors shifting from deep violet to electric blue, fiery red to emerald green, signifying the birth of a new, tailor-made skill. The energy expands outward in a burst of shimmering particles and permanently merges with Aria's spiritual essence.
When the new skill is fully formed, several luminous glyphs which can only be seen by Aria materialize before her, glowing with intricate details which allow her to fully understand the new skill's nature, abilities, and how exactly to execute it with zero difficulty. The glyphs hover briefly before dissolving into the ether, leaving behind a trail of sparkling runes that fade into the air.
"Unique skill created, Aura Breathing." Dream says telepathically to Aria. "Okay, I believe I am done. Can't wait to see the effect of this new technique," Dream says, his voice filled with excitement. "Very well, Aria, go for it," Lorcan says as he takes on A defensive stance. "Okay, here I go," Aria says as she jumps back several distances and takes on an offensive stance, closes her eyes, and begins to release her aura, which starts to change from its blue color to a bright mix of orange, red, and golden-yellow. "Wait? What the hell, wasn't his aura just blue a moment ago?" Lorcan says mentally as he maintains his defensive stance. Suddenly, Aria begins to open his eyes, which begins to glow a bright yellow color. His aura rages on with ferocious intensity, sending shock waves across the arena.
Aria braces herself, her eyes blazing with focused intensity. As she takes a deep, steadying breath, "Flame Breathing First Form." Aria says as her aura begins to cover his black sword, Kuruyami, her aura transforming into a bright mix of orange, red, and golden-yellow flames glowing with a radiant intensity. Suddenly, she accelerates with blinding speed, her form a blur of flaming aura as she dashes toward her target, Lorcan. In a swift, fluid motion, she closes the distance in an instant, her body a streak of luminous light flames. Without hesitation, Aria shouts "Unknowing Fire" as she executes a precise, horizontal slash with full force aimed directly at Lorcans' broad sword. Intending to disarm him, only for her blade to cut through Lorcan's broad sword, slicing it in half, leaving Lorcan staring at his now cleanly sliced sword.
"Huh." All of them momentarily say as they look at the now sliced broad sword. "Does this mean I win?" Aria says to Lorcan. "My sword !!!"Lorcan shouts as if he has lost his most precious item in the world. "I ….admit defeat, you disarmed me and so I lost, can you show me your jade pass?" Lorcan says as he stands and bows as a sign of good sportsmanship. He takes his own pass and activates a magical screen display. He then sends Aria 500 merit points, which appear on the display of Aria's Jade pass. "Just head to the treasure hall when you are ready. I am going to take my sword to the family blacksmith. By the way, what was that sword technique you used called?" Lorcan asks. "It's called unknowing fire," Aria replies. "Cool name, little sis, we will definitely have to spar again," Lorcan says as he picks up his broken sword and goes to look for the family blacksmith. The other crimson blood wants to say something, but remains silent. Afterwards, Aria returns her sword, Kuruyami, into its sheath, takes her training bag, and leaves for her room.
