After bidding farewell to Lin Fan, Soma spent his time waiting inside the infirmary with his two mother-inws for his girlfriends to regain consciousness.


    From the loud cheer and announcement from the Arena, it seemed Lin Fan managed to gain victory in the match, and the remaining contestants that go toward the next stage, the semi-final stage, which will be conducted tomorrow, are four people.


    Soma vs. Leon and Lin Fan vs. Senior male from the third year who seemed to have some reputation in his back.


    It is finally happening, the event that will leave everyone speechless. The moment when Leon awakened his full power as a savior.


    The time shifted, and the sky showed its orange haze, and the two girls finally regained consciousness.


    "Where am I, kuh!".

    Hina, who opened her eyes first, asked before she frowned, clutching her temple. The overload seemed still intact.


    "Hina, you awake?".


    Hisako, who sat beside her, abruptly stood up and checked her daughter''s condition. Hina''s face regained its cluster pink for a bit, and her eyes fully regained their light.


    "Mom, how long did I passed out?".


    "A couple of hours".


    "I see".


    Because of themotion that had urred, Serafina, whoy next to Hina, stirred. Her face contorted for a moment, and then her eyes fluttered open.


    "This is?".


    "Sera, my daughter".


    Beatrice caressed her daughter''s cheeks; worry painted her eyes while the four of them started chatting.


    Soma walked in and approached the girls. He could see a trace of blood in the girls'' uniforms, but it seemed it was nothing serious.


    He summoned two bottles of Mana potion and Stamina potion, which he collected from his first Trial dungeon, and gave each to the girls.


    [High-grade mana potion had been consumed]


    [Restore the user mana 70%]


    [High-grade Stamina potion had been consumed]


    [Restore the user stamina 80%]


    Their bodies glowed, and the rosy cheeks on their face indicated that they were almost fully recovered.


    "Thanks, Soma".


    "Thank you".


    Hina and Serafina said their thanks before they flipped away the white sheet covering their bodies and shifted their feet outside, leaving the bed.


    At first, there was still a feeling of swaying from their vision, but gradually, it became normal, and the girls talked to their mother about how healthy they were.


    A deliberate knock echoed in the ce, which garnered the attention of the people inside. The door creaked open and showed Violet, who seemed worried about the condition inside, who still hadn''t shown any symptoms of awakening.


    However, the moment she saw her boss and Hina. Looking at their cheery conversation, the girls seemed fine. Violet sighed in relief before opening her mouth to inform them.


    "Everyone, would you like to continue this at home? Looking at the time".


    "You are right".


    Serafina, who realized that the day had turned to evening, was flustered as she instructed Violet.


    "Prepare the car? Asked one of our people to pick us!".


    "They are already waiting for us at the entrance gate, and the others are also waiting for us there."


    "Okay, everyone lets go to our manor".


    As time passed, the family gathered around Serafina''s manor with cheer andughter, which came from the adults'' praise of the girls'' performance today.


    Hina and Serafina be the main stars at the event, not forgetting Xiao Lian, who rarely shows her flustered side, stands proudly with the other two.


    The girls, now alone, gather inside Serafina''s private room. They wear pajamas, and their hair shines down under the cascading light of the moon from the window.


    After enjoying a rxing bath, the three of them decide to stay in Serafina''s room, for they have something inmon to discuss.


    They sat across a soft cushioned seat, surrounding a round table filled withte-night snacks that Hina had gathered inside her storage.


    "Gosh, today was pretty exhausting".


    Serafina grumbled as she sipped a card box of chocte milk in her hands, then took a pocky stick and bit into it.


    "You are right, I still even feel groggy in my magic activation".


    Hina calmly interjected, slowly sank her back toward the seat, and looked at her party members, who seemed to enjoy the snacks.


    Xiao Lian has puffed cheeks and keeps slurping vani milk before opening her mouth.


    "Um, Senior?".


    "Hm? What''s the matter, Xiao Lian?".


    "Mm, Your power, what exactly is that?".


    Hina, who got her Spirit back, leaned her body forward as she enjoyed the strawberry milk in hand.


    "Yeah, that, I am curious too. What is your power, true nature? Unlike Xiao Lian and Me who depend in manifestacion of Original Magic, But yours, seemed a little bit odd, and powerful!".


    "Well, how should I start? You guys remember when I received the Grimoire from Soma at that time, right?".


    Both girls nodded and listened intently to the topic of what Serafina found out after reading the book.


    "Turns out, it was not a grimoire book that only contained high or advanced spells in it. But the true nature of that Grimoire is to connect yourself with nature. The source of the element itself and Gain recognition by it to gain an unlimited source of nature power".


    "Connect with the nature element, is that, perhaps?".


    Hina, who seeks knowledge and is obsessed with power, once submerged herself through reading books, whether it is history, fantasy, or Grimoire. She understands the meaning of Serafina''s words.


    She once found a unique existence that imed to have be a part of an ancient power that is forgotten today. It was never to be spoken of again until Serafina revealed it.


    "...Unlimited Source of power".


    Xiao Lian, still unaware of the terms, tilted her head to the side, which made Serafina chuckle, seeing her adorable side.


    "Yeah, Hina. It seems you know it too. The power I gained from the book is how to contract a spirit, especially the spirit of Wind".


    "I see. I understand it now".


    "Spirit? Is that something thates from a fairy tale?".


    "Yeah it sure was, but after seeing Sera''s power first hand. I am convinced".


    In the book Hina once read said. In ancient times, there was an entity called Spirit, which was borned to brings bnce upon the world.


    Lightning, as the hands of Creator God, reshaped the, and then the four main elements were born managing the they are living in now.


    Each of them had its own purpose and consciousness to stabilize the, which they called the Spirit. The Fire Spirit was born as the core of the, the Water Spirit appeared as a massive body of water that cools the fire, the Wind Spirit brought an atmosphere and seasons, and the Earth Spirit created a solid foundation for living.


    Creator God also created another miracle besides lightning: light and dark, which is considered to be a power that couldn''t coexist. This miracle maintains the bnce of the world and brings day and night to sustain the world cycle.


    "Wait, from what Sera had told us, if there is wind spirit, is it possible?".


    Hina, who had reached a conclusion, raised her head and nced at her party members, who seemed to be figuring out her meaning.


    "Yeah, I believe it is possible".


    Serafina calmly nodded her head, which brought another hope for the other two.


    "Mm, so, Water Spirit for me and Fire Spirit for Hina".


    "Yeah, with this we can be much stronger than we are".


    Silence descended upon the room as the girls heard what Serafina had said and imagined they seeded in gaining recognition by nature itself.


    Time ticked, giving them a real sense of time before Hina, who realized that she needed to do something if she wanted her dream toe true, leaned her back to the seat and sighed.


    "Well, it was worth figuring it out. How about it, Xiao Lian?".


    "Mm, it is worth a shot. If we can be stronger than this then…".


    "We can Support him from the side".


    Serafina interjects and softens the atmosphere in the room. The girls cheerfullyugh together while curious about what the boy''s doing right now.


    *****


    After the fulfilling dinner, Soma walked alone inside the deserted hallway, showing him the path that led toward the backyard.


    In front of him stood a single door blocking his path to the outside. Slowly, he twisted the door handle and pulled inside the door. He was greeted by a chilly wind of autumn that seeped into his pores.


    The breeze felt pleasant as it cooled off Soma''s mind. He walked past the door, aware that someone had seen his action from far away, but hepletely ignored it and went outside.


    "This is good".


    Standing in the middle of the not-too-wide field, Soma nced upward only to see a full moon shining above, apanied by countless blinking stars, watching the mortals below it with its ethereal feeling.


    Unconsciously, his eyes closed, and Soma began to regte his breathing into a slow and deep one and entered his own consciousness.


    "The ce had changed!".


    His consciousness now turnedpletely bleak. The sky was dark, and only nine dots of constetions, two of which were shining with bright crimson light, were above him.


    Beneath him, the familiar destend, cracked ground, and withered nts. A majestic tree in the middle of it, covered by red veins that seemed to bulge showed its persistence in living despite the condition.


    On its thick branch upward, a figure of a boypletely ck with a crimson pair of eyes looked at Soma. Behind him, a pair of bat wings and a tail slowly floated before he reached the ground and smiled.


    "Well, well well,. It''s been a while hasn''t it, Soma?".


    "...Yeah, it''s been a while, Me!".
