Chapter 3: Interference

  Heaven’s Judgement

  Seriyu was walking with Kuro down one of the school’s pathways. “Damn, you really beat a ghoul that strong sensei?”. Kuro asked him while drinking water. “Without a doubt!”. He replied to him laughing. “So when do I get a turn in fighting and learning?”. Kuro asked Seriyu. They both stopped in their tracks. “Right today, as told before you guys have a mission today, did you forget?”. Seriyu said to Kuro. Kuro tried to refresh his brain but it didn’t come right away. “Ohhhhh…. That mission. But what was it for exactly?”. Kuro asked him. “Ghoul flesh, we need one more and we believe the level four ghoul has enough to suffice for our plans”. Seriyu said.

  HIGH-WAY

  “Kuro, Toko, Yukie, Yuka, Renjiro…. I want you to meet Murasaki. He’s the teacher of Class B. He will look after you guys today”. Seriyu said. “Wait hold on, WHAT ABOUT YOU?”. Yukie and Yuka said. “Well normally I would but today i’ve got business to handle! Even so, he was nice enough anyways to take my place for me.”. Seriyu said, everyone looked unamused. “Guys, guys, don’t give me that face. Murasaki is very talented. Just imagine him as my left hand. Heheh.”. Seriyu said giving a pat on the back to Murasaki. “Pstpp, I wanted to teach them about ultimates today but i think you should have that right”. Ultimates, what is he talking about? Kuro thought. “Yeah, don’t worry. It’ll be a flash”. Murasaki said.

  Abandoned Hotel

  “Here we are, this used to be a five star hotel but now it’s been under works due to recent death crimes because of ghouls”. Murasaki said tot he group. “HUH? GHOULS?”. Toko and Yukie said. “Well you can obviously see that due to the energy structure of the place”. Renjiro said. “Huh, what do you mean?”. They replied to Renjiro. Renjiro pointed to the hotel. “Normally it would look normal and bright, but it’s taken by energy. It could also be their enchant”. “Also Renjiro, Toko. I want you guys to sit out for this one with me. This should be a test for the others, Seriyu said.”. Murasaki exclaimed. “Test? but are you sure?”. Yukie said. “Yes, the three of you should be fine. It'll be good training after all. If you get in trouble pull a signal and I'll come bail you out”. Murasaki said. “Let's go then”. Yukie said commanding Yuka and Kuro as they all walked through the entrance. Shit, even the looks of this hotel looks violent. All of the material has turned from white to red and blackish. Kuro thought. “Yuka and Kuro go to the second floor and search for the ghoul. I'll look on the base here”. Yukie said with a brave pose. “Are you sure you'll be alright?”. Kuro said with. concerned look. Yukie turned around for a second, “I'll be fine, if anything happens I'll call Murasaki for help. Don't worry about me”. She finished saying as everyone went their parts.

  “Are you sure we shouldn't help them?”. Toko said to Murasaki. “Nope, don't worry about this. They got it”. He replied back to him. “Isn't the ghoul two levels above all of them though?”. Toko said again. “Hehehe, yeah that's right. it'll be good practice, besides. I want Yukie to take leadership in this”. Murasaki said to Toko and Renjiro both sitting beside him. Yuka and Kuro walked together on the second floor whilst trying to detect any ghouls. Kuro looked at the footsteps on the ground. He nudged Yuka, giving him the idea of what was happening. They kept looking in search of the ghoul. Room after room, bathroom after bathroom yet nothing showed. Yukie was also looking around, the gym area, reception area, pools. Again, nothing. “If there's nothing here, should we head back Yuka?”. Kuro asked him. “If nothing happeneds in two minutes then I guess we can go see”. Yuka said as something caught his eye past Kuro. “Kuro, don't move a single muscle”. Yuka said looking at the shadow behind him. No it wasn't a shadow, that form definitely looks like a ghoul. “Wh-What.. is it Yuka?”. He asked him, shaking in his feet. The ghoul started crawling on the roof closer and closer. “It's the ghoul, we need to take our next preparations carefully.”. Yuka said as he grabbed Kuros arm pulling him closer. “THE GHOUL HAS ALREADY TRACKED US BEFORE WE TRACKED IT”. Yuka screamed separating space from the ghoul. “What do we do?!?”. Kuro screamed out hoping answers would be fulfilled, “Only a ghoul can beat a ghoul, but someone with an enchant can also kill them. Kuro it's time! your power… potential, like Seriyu said”. Yuka said, hyping him up. “Gold Soil”. Yuka said as energy formed around him. Kuro observed as this was the first time he saw something like this in his entire life. Sand wrapped around the ghouls body trapping and bringing it to the ground. “What is that!?”. Kuro as he questioned what was happening. “This is my enchant ability, to manipulate sand however I want, and here’s a finisher!”. Yuka screamed as he performed a flying kick to the ghouls head sending him flying back. Lots of ghoul blood was fleshing out whilst the sand was trapping it still. “Does that mean you defeated the ghoul”. Kuro asked. “No I doubt it, that was just a normal strike, this thing definitely has more power”. Yuka said. The ghoul slowly got up. Right as it got on its foot it prepared an attack. Shit, what’s it gonna do now Yuka thought. “RAHHHHHHH”. The ghoul screamed as it blasted a huge energy blast between us. “TAKE COVER”. Yuka screamed at Kuro pushing him out of the way. The blast hit the very end of the hotel level back-door. The ghoul double stepped forwards and hit Kuro right in the chest knocking him back far. “Kuro!”. Screamed Yuka as Kuro fell down. He’s still up, good. This thing is a bad deal for us. Yuka thought again. The ghoul was preparing another attack. I won’t let you!. As Yuka used his energy to form a sand wall between them both blocking the next attack. “The only problem being that, his energy blasts are strong enough to destroy my vital organs…”. Yuka said to himself. CRASH! Another energy blasts shot straight through the sand wall and redirected onto the roof causing it to break and shatter. “This fucking bitch was able to do that much damage even with my sand wall”. He said as the ghoul started running at him. Yuka summoned sand in the air to penetrate towards the ghoul. The sand made contact and dealt nothing as the ghoul kept running. “RAHHHHH”. Another punch straight through the stomach to a vital area. “YUKA!””. Kuro screamed as he fell down next to him. I CAN’T LET YUKA DIE ON ME. Kuro screamed at the top of his lungs begging for Gods help. He got up and punched through the ghoul right after he hit Yuka. It’s a pussy shot on him, but I’ve got to do whatever. Purple sparks come out after the hit. Kuro stood in amazement after his attack but he knew the job wasn’t done yet.

  “Ugh seriously, was Seriyu wrong about something being here or what..”. Yukie said still looking for things. SKRTTT! One of the pens fell from the receptionist area, Yukie turned around quickly to see if it was the ghoul. I know I heard something, it couldn't of been the wind at this time. She moved quickly to the reception area on perfect guard. The back door to the pool slammed as Yukie chased after it. “Somebody's definitely here, and I know it isn't the others trying to prank me at this time!”. Yukie said. She opened the door and fired energy shots unleashing her enchant. Suddenly, metal rooftops came unattached and fired towards the ghoul. All shots missed, Yukie chased after the ghoul. “Yukie?”. The ghoul said in a demon tone as he turned around launching a side kick to Yukie. Yukie blocked the first attack and then the ghoul did a fast punch with its right hand, Yukie blocked it while getting knocked back. What the hell is this type of ghoul, it's about a level five at least, it's able to respond and use many kinds of attacks on me. That's not all of it. The biggest question being, how is it surviving in sunlight without being burned. All of Yukie's thoughts were worth questioning.

  “Man are you sure we shouldn't help them out? It's taking a while”. Renjiro said. “There's no need, they got it. It's a good test for them anyways”. Murasaki said. “Don't forget, Yukie is quite effective in an area with lots of metal. I agree with him, they'll be fine”. Toko added onto Murasakis statement. Yukie observed the area looking for any metal, there was quite a bit around her which meant this area was perfect for her. I don't even know this ghouls ability, it's definitely strong if it's a level five. The ghoul launched with a barrage of fists all blocked by Yukie, it dashed backwards firing an attack full of air energy. Shit! this strength. As Yukie held onto something. “THIS AIR PRESSURE!”. Yukie screamed. “It's gonna fly me over!”. Yukie used hebthe metal inside the steel building walls to throw it at the ghoul. The ghoul saw this and rolled sideways getting out of the metal's way. The two of them went forwards and punched each other's fist creating an energy shockwave blasting them all back. Yukie landing on her back while the ghoul still maintained on their feet. “You know it’s quite pathetic, a low rank like you trying to assert dominance over ghouls. We are the prodigies of this world, not you guys.”. The ghoul said as he laughed. “Just what are you?”. Yukie said as the ghoul started walking towards her. “No questions will be answered from a low life…”. The ghoul said as he stopped moving towards her. “That’s right, I figured it out. Your ability to use a magnetic force right? You can control where the items you manipulate go. Such as trying to hit me. It’s a cute attempt but I won’t let it”. The ghoul said.

  “I’ll show a certain power your type wouldn’t be able to comprehend”. The ghoul smiled as he performed a hand sign. “Grand Manifestation… Greatest Tempest”. The ghoul said, unleashing all his energy. Air was flowing through Yukie. The trees and bushes was getting pushed by air. What is this energy im feeling? Yukie thought. “What is this!?”. She said stepping back. “This is Grand Manifestation, my greatest tempest. Grand Manifestation is a final ultimate ability which turns the environment of the enchant’s ability. It’s truly a supreme feat in which you cannot escape. My sure hit will obliterate you beyond regeneration.”. The ghoul explained. “People should fear ghouls, humans are nothing to us. Your weak powers won’t suffice in the end young woman!!!!!!!”. The ghoul yelled.

  Purple sparks? Thought Yuka as he smashed through that ghoul. This ghoul was strong enough to still remain on his feet. “This thing is fucking tough!”. Kuro said. The ghoul was ready to launch another energy attack. “”Kuro! That ghoul is gonna regenerate from our attacks if we don’t finish it in one attack”. Yuka said. Yuka summoned his sand manipulation and trapped the ghoul entirely; however the ghoul had already launched his energy attack. Kuro dodged it and did two jabs knocking the ghoul back and then finishing it with a skull crusher to the head completely obliterating the ghoul into pieces. “That thing was tough as fuck damn, Yuka you good?”. Kuro asked concerned for his safety after that fight. There was no response for a couple seconds. “Yu-Yuka?”. Kuro asked again, turning around this time. “That was hard wasn’t it? I don’t know if I’ll be able to get up yet”. Yuka said while one of his arms was completely torn off. “YOUR ARM YUKA”. Kuro said, screaming , coming down on his knees to his aid. “Go help Yukie, I’ll be fine. Seriyu can heal me with his healing technique”. Yuka replied. “Healing technique, I thought his ability was Gravity?”. Kuro said, questioning him. “All enchanters have the ability to learn healing techniques, Kuro, there’s not enough time. IF YOU WANT TO SAVE ME GO FIND YUKIE”. Yuka screamed before he passed out. Kuro noticed he had already fallen out of awareness and passed out, he acted instantly and grabbed him onto his back going down the lift to get support.

  Is this checkmate? Yukie said. “I’m done hesitating, im letting my technique hit now, mah, muaha, muahahahhahah”. The ghoul screamed as his face had many facial expressions of demonic laughter. At the same time as the sure hit was definitive to land an dark blue energy surrounded and flew through the Grand Manifestation. Cracks starting forming in the small world, all the flying leaves stopped in mid-air. At last, the ghoul was frozen, he could not move. Was it just the ghoul? No, not even Yukie could move. What was this ability… footsteps emerged from behind Yukie. “Without that signal from your Manifestation I don’t think I would of been able to stop you here.”. Murasaki said showing his face smiling. “Oh that’s right you aren’t able to move.’. Murasaki exclaimed. He looked at the area, there was frozen blades suspended in mid air. “I see, it’s an air technique that manipulated it so extremely that you were able to create air blades having the potential to cut Yukie apart”. He laughed cracking his knuckles. “Manipulating air huh, lucky I was fast enough to stop it”. He said again.

  Grand Manifestation, a technique used to cover the area with their enchant’s environment ability. Once the ghoul used his Grand Manifestation it enclosed an area turning it into his enchant’s world, turning the world into a world filled with air elements it gives the user extreme boosted stats and even some get a sure hit effect. Murasaki responded in defense with employing his own Grand Manifestation which covered the area in a time environment. Everything stopped completely. Another word for Grand Manifestation is Enchantment. When two enchantments collide with each other they create a world of their enchants. The enchantment which has more energy output, more energy defense & energy stamina will take over the other environment slowly and break it apart. Once it has fully taken over the other targets world will crumble and so will their boosted effects. Depending on the enchantment their special abilities will also land.

  “What's this?!”. The ghoul screamed as his enchantment was slowly getting taken over. “Your losing, that's all”. Murasaki said. It did not take even five seconds before the realm was overtaken by Murasaki. He striked a pose at ghoul as he was frozen in time. “Enchantment: Zero Curve”. Murasaki said. “Nobody outside this world knows that time has been stopped, even inside this world not even you can feel anything”. Murasaki said. “1 Minute, that's all. Since my effect hit I have one minute to kill you. Should I kill you or should I ask where you came from, a level five ghoul doesn't appear out of nowhere.”. Murasaki exclaimed. As he walked forwards and struck him in the neck. “45 seconds remain and Im still not finished. However, I sense someone nearby with a similar level to you. If I was to finish you beyond the normal ghouls regeneration point he would definitely ambush me once I've used some of my enchants energy…….. so I'll let you off my shit, with this one”. Murasaki said as he did a front kick to the ghouls head inflicting critical damage. Normally Murasaki would use his one minute duration of stopped time but did only use thirty seconds this time to reduce the amount of energy used. The world started collapsing and returning to normal, the environment created by the time element was removed slowly as it crumbled. The ghoul started bleeding in the neck and in the head almost splitting in half as he crashed meters behind him, the effects of time being stopped had gone into effect once time resumed. “FUCK!”. The ghoul screamed as blood kept spurting out. Just what is this ability?! He's way stronger than that bitch. “In surprised you haven't ran yet! Acknowledging the fact you have someone here watching over you.”. Murasaki said mocking the ghoul. “He's mocking me, but I won't let him win this”. The ghoul said to himself. “But before I end your life, I need information. Seriyu told me he got attacked by a ghoul just like you. Clearly your coming from some where and working for someone, just who are you?”. Murasaki asked him. If I tell him he's probably gonna kill me anyways, but if I don't then he will. I should buy time for him to save me… “We come from a clan led by the human enchanter Soro. But it's too late.”. The ghoul laughed. “He's already started on his plan to destroy this country to bits, everything you've ever loved!”. The ghoul yelled at him. “Is that so? And where are they?”. He replied back to him. Yukie stared at their conversation not knowing what was happening. “Like I would tell you”. The ghoul replied being arrogant. Murasaki launched forwards intending to punch through his body. Too late. The ghoul thought as a shadow figure appeared behind him. “You… TIME!”. Murasaki said being shocked by what was happening. He used his enchant technique to stop time for a period of ten seconds. “Someone else is here, I was right. But what was it”. Murasaki turned back around to look at the ghoul. There was, “Three, five, no… ten bodies there”. Murasaki glanced at it closer. “They aren't humans, their after images… Something was creating these human look alikes and their standing like shadows!”. Murasaki said. Not much seconds of time left, fuck. The thoughts Murasaki was thinking. He needed to release time now. One more second, he looked above. There it was. “Cheeky fuck”. He said, another shadow three meters above him. The target had already jumped on top of him. He must be creating shadow after images to confuse me, and he activated all of this right before I stopped time. The energy I felt was definitely level 6. If I hadn't stopped time I would definitely of died or something… Time resumes now!. The effects of time went back to normal. The shadow figure from up top did a spin as he dropped and performed a kick to Murasakis head and at the same time the after images were surrounding them both. What a strong ability…. Murasaki thought as he blocked the kick and then smashing the ground creating an energy shockwave blasting everything away. Murasaki got back up to see that both ghouls were gone and only to see a normal human replaced with them. “What is this?”. Murasaki asked Yukie staring at it. “I- I don't know…”. Yukie said barely being able to stand from her injuries. “We're gonna have to tell this information to Seriyu, this is something we have never seen before. I'll heal your body in the meantime”.

  HEAVENS JUDGEMENT

  “How are those wounds coming along Yuka”. Seriyu said healing him. “It's perfect now, thank you”. He replied back to him. “Something serious has happened to Murasaki, I'll go talk to him now. Your fine to go home”. Seriyu said. “What happened Seri”. Yuka asked. Seriyu turned around and replied. “A grade five and grade six interfered in our fight, and not only that. These human bodies during our interactions keep getting creepier.”. Seriyu said before leaving the room.
