"Try to channel your fire throughout your body. There is a chance he contacted you already." (Jack)

"Who is he?" (Hayato)

"The fire king. The first heroes were called kings because of their strong energy manipulation. Things didn't go well, so the fire king contacts all his descendants and guides them." (Jack)

(I think he means that spirit that once spoke to me in my dream...)

"Now Hayato. Depending on what you told me the other day. You relied too

much on Flame arrow, try using your other moves." (Jack)

"Fire apple!" (Hayato)

A blazing apple drops on the ground.

"Hayato, shoot it with Flame arrow." (Jack)

"Flame arrow!" (Hayato)

(All I have to do is shoot it, right?)

*As soon as the arrow gets in contact with the apple. The apple turns into a bomb! It explodes spreading fire and covers a large area of the ground!*

"Oh! I see!" (Hayato)

"Let's try another move, be quick." (Jack)

"Rain of fire!" (Hayato)

(My fingers...They are glowing? What should I exactly do now?)

"Try doing something with your hand." (Jack)

I try clapping, but nothing happens. I also tried performing ordinary gestures.

still. No result.

"Well, that is going to remain a mystery for a while." (Jack)

"Scorching Heart!" (Hayato)

(What is this! This is just like the time I saw Aiko's past!)

"What is it, Hayato?" (Jack)

"I...See something...Someone" (Hayato)

"Who is it?" (Jack)

"It's...Aiko..She is carrying a sword of ice..." (Hayato)

"What else?" (Jack)

"There...Is a lot of blood...That's seriously a lot of blood." (Hayato)

"Do you see yourself anywhere?" (Jack)

"No...I only see flames building up behind her" (Hayato)

"Cancel your ability. Guessing by what you're saying, it makes you see the future." (Jack)

"Done, cancelled it" (Hayato)

"Never use it again, ok?" (Jack)

"Ok" (Hayato)

"We are done for today. Tomorrow would be your last day training here!" (Jack)

"I see. Well, let's hope I got better haha" (Hayato)

"Yeah, let's hope." (Jack)

*Later that day*

(Jack, Tomiko and Karen are asleep. I should use this chance to see more of the

future)

"Scorching heart.." (Hayato)

"Hey...Hayato." (Aiko)

"Wha! You can see me?" (Hayato)

"Of course I do, dumbass" (Aiko)

"Oh, so I transport to the future!" (Hayato)

"Yes...Now...Show me your heart.." (Aiko)

"Wait. What?" (Hayato)

"Hey, Hayato..Won't you show me your heart?" (Aiko)

"Wait! I don't get it." (Hayato)

"I SAID, SHOW ME YOUR HEART!" (Aiko)

"Aiko! What is it!" (Hayato)

"Frozen blade of sorrow!" (Aiko)

*Aiko summons the same sword that Hayato saw earlier*

"DIE!" (Aiko)

*Aiko stabs Hayato. Hayato wakes up on the bed*

(That...Was one hell of a dream...Well...I have to sleep for now...)
