Black Wave

"So, first-year students this year don't listen to me, right?" A loud, authoritative voice suddenly echoed, freezing all the first-year students in place.

''Geh!!'' 

All of them continued their battle while turning in the direction of a voice. They saw Nakamura-sensei standing nearby, accompanied by all the other sensei and the dean of the academy.

Students from all over the academy stood at a distance, but they could feel many eyes watching them. Notably, the three deans of the academy had also come to observe.

Sei was exhausted from the fight when she was kidnapped by Yuma. She sat down on the ground with a relaxed sigh.

However, nobody expected her to sit down on the ground. Ishikawa, who stood nearby, and Dean Fumihiro, who was watching her closely, stepped forward to carry her, thinking she had collapsed.

''HEH!!'' 

Sei was taken completely by surprise when two people unexpectedly lifted her into the air, cradling her in their arms. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she tried to process the sudden turn of events, her mind swirling with questions. What was happening? The look of confusion on her face was evident, as she stammered to understand the situation. 

For a brief moment, she felt frozen in place, overwhelmed by her surroundings. Then, with a surge of instinct, she wriggled free from their hold and quickly darted behind Shinji, seeking refuge and a sense of safety. Behind him, she peeked out, still rattled and trying to make sense of the chaotic scene unfolding before her.

As the chaotic scene unfolded around them, a whirlwind of noise and movement, Jin and Kenyuro exchanged a tense glance filled with deep worry.

Their hearts raced as they pushed through the shifting crowd to reach Sei, who stood anxiously behind Shinji, her wide eyes reflecting a mix of fear and confusion.

 The bond between them was unmistakable—a tight-knit connection forged by years of love and shared experiences. The weight of Sei's safety pressed heavily on their shoulders, a burden they were determined to share.

"Oi! Sei, what's going on? Why are you with him?" Jin shouted, his voice rising above the din. He surged forward, urgency propelling him faster than Kenyuro, his hand reaching out to touch her shoulder in a comforting yet protective gesture.

"I got kidnapped by Yuma," Sei replied, her voice strained. "But I woke up and fought him, and then Senpai came to help me." As she spoke, her eyes darted around, reflecting her bewilderment, and she rolled them in exasperation, clearly reluctant to delve deeper into her harrowing ordeal.

The atmosphere was thick with tension, but the siblings' love for each other shone through, a beacon of strength in the midst of chaos.

A few hours ago when I got kidnaped; 

Yuma approached Sei with a sense of urgency, lifting her effortlessly into the air with both hands. As he unfurled his majestic wings, the wind whipped around them, and he took to the skies. 

While soaring, he kept glancing over his shoulder, ever vigilant to ensure no one was tailing them. In his anxiety-driven focus, he failed to notice that Sei, whom he was carrying, had awakened during their flight.

Sei slowly gathered her senses and steadied herself, taking a deep breath as she concentrated on their swift passage through the skies. Nestled in Yuma's grip, she could hear the powerful thrum of his heartbeat, a frantic rhythm that echoed in her ears. 

It was a reassuring yet frantic sound, revealing his inner turmoil. Recognizing the distress in his pulse, Sei realized that Yuma, despite his monstrous exterior, was in a state of heightened alert, struggling to maintain control while worrying about the dangers that lurked all around them.

'When you kidnap someone, you need to calm yourself down,' Sei exclaimed to a monster as she used her elbow to hit Yuma's chin.

Her body fell like a storm. She closed her eyes slightly to be careful and focus on her balance before landing on the ground. 

Bang!!!!

Not only did Sei land on the ground, but a powerful creature, Yuma—the flying-type monster—touched down in front of her, casting a formidable shadow. Sei took a deep breath, attempting to calm her racing heart as she contemplated her next move.

Her eyes locked onto Yuma, and the energy in her body surged, preparing her to either fight or flee. In that moment of tension, she felt her inner aura start to flow, working to restore the strength she desperately needed.

"Don't even think about running!" the monster bellowed, his voice a guttural growl that resonated in the air as he observed her poised to act.

"What's your purpose?" Sei challenged, her voice steady despite the unease swirling within her.

"I can't be that useful... I'm not powerful enough." As she spoke, an intense pressure enveloped her, emanating from Yuma, though she could sense that it was not solely his strength that weighed down on her.

"All I can say is that my master has ordered me to capture you!" the creature snarled, muscles rippling as it transformed. His hand elongated into a fearsome claw, and his entire form morphed into Yuma, fully revealing his menacing presence.

"Argh!" Yuma let out a thunderous roar, shaking the very ground beneath them.

Sei exhaled sharply, trying to steady herself as she felt her aura spiraling out of control, tangled in fear and uncertainty. 

For those like her, known as Quantum Benders, there existed a unique system within their bodies where aura power coursed through specific pathways, designed to revive them when energy ran low.

The essential points of this system were the heart, stomach, and head—each playing a crucial role in harnessing and restoring their inner strength.

''Black" She summoned her water guardian, Black. As he glanced at Sei, he sensed her anger. It was a rare occurrence for Sei to act this way; usually, she was as calm and cold as water.

However, when a water bender got angry, they could be stronger and more mischievous than fire. 

"Haa... you have chosen the wrong path!" He then turned to glance at a truly monstrous creature.

Sei stood in a profound silence, a calm presence amidst the charged atmosphere. Suddenly, Black shimmered and morphed into a katana, its blade sleek and gleaming with a deep, shadowy black hue. 

The surface was intricately blended with hints of dark blue, creating a mesmerizing interplay of colors that seemed to dance across the steel. This exquisite weapon, a fusion of darkness and elegance, radiated an aura of power and mystique.

"Your katana has changed!" Yuma exclaimed, his eyes wide with surprise, while Sei remained serious and calm, displaying no emotion.

With a powerful gesture, Sei summoned a massive wave, calling it the "Black Wave!" The enormous force crashed down upon her foes, overwhelming them with sheer momentum. This move was particularly effective for crowd control, capable of clearing large areas.

She raised her katana, holding it midway, while her left hand gripped the blade. Suddenly, her eyes transformed into a deep black, filled with swirling orbs that glinted ominously.

The sky was dark as if it were nighttime, and the air was cold—much colder than what would be expected during the summer.

The chill was so intense that it felt as if it could freeze a person's body. As water flowed up from the ground around their area, Sei waved her katana, swinging it in various styles through the air toward Yuma.

"I had no idea Yuma's aura power was so formidable," Sei remarked, a sly smile curling at the corners of her lips.
