After a few minutes, the drinks arrived. Gerald got his water and Gen took one of the mugs and drank it all at once, saying, "Ahh!" When Gerald saw this he turned to Raja and said half in a low voice, "He's not going to-", but before he could finish, Raja cut him off and said, "He sure is.", "...I never knew he could drink like that, he took so long to take his first cup.", " Really?", "Yeah, when we-", "Hey!", Gen said and continued, "Are you guys going to keep it a secret? What are you guys talking about?", Raja then said, "It was about .... hm ... the expedition earlier.", "The expedition? What about the expedition?", Raja was about to speak when suddenly he felt something and turned his face, Gen turned his face at the same moment, and the two saw Karin starting to move.

Raja then said, "Looks like she's going to wake up, let's leave this conversation for later.", Gen then said, "Ok.", the three of them got up from where they were sitting and walked towards Karin.When they arrived in front of her Gerald was about to call her, but Raja interrupted him saying, "Shh! Don't say anything now, she's almost done. You don't want something wrong to happen right at the end, do you?" Gerald then said, "That's right, thanks for stopping me", "You're welcome". Karin's eyes began to flutter, until she opened them, and when she did, Raja nudged Gerald, and nodded. When Gerald saw this, he walked over to Karin and said, "Karin! How nice that you woke up, you went into a trance out of nowhere, I thought something might have happened to you."

Karin stood up, and then said, "After we settled down, I understood that what was keeping me from awakening to my essence was the uncertainty about our relationship.", Gerald then said, "Good, that you were able to awaken your essence, and I'm sorry. From what you said I was getting in your way, I swear it was never my intention.", "Hahaha, I know you silly man, no need to worry.", the two of them stared at each other for a while, until at one point they heard a whistling sound and looked in the direction of it. Gen had one hand over his mouth, he put it down and said, "I'm glad everything worked out in the end, no need to thank me, just don't forget to call me for the wedding, hahaha."

Karin stared at Gen, and seeing this he asked, "What? Did I say something weird? Or is there something in my tooth? Or is it ... that Gerald lied, and you're not together? I won't lie, I had my doubts when he told me what happened." Karin said nothing, and started to walk towards Gen with a serious face. Gen then said, "What is it Karin? Do you want to give me a hug? Because I don't think it would be nice to do that, Gerald might think something wrong.", Karin kept walking towards Gen, and when she was about two meters away from him, she couldn't get any closer, and then Gen said, " Ok, you're scaring me by being quiet like that. What do you want?", Karin then said, "You'll see.", she then stopped walking and after a few seconds stepped forward and closer to Gen again.

When Gen saw this he was shocked and said, "How is it that you are getting closer?", and Karin then said, "Now I am also an awakened one.", she then kept going towards Gen, and when Gen saw this, Gen started to walk away while continuing to use his essence to try to keep her away, but it was having no effect. They then kept running after each other for a while, and seeing the two of them running, the people who were nearby moved away and some started to say, "You can't drink in peace in this bar, these awakened people won't stop fighting.", "Tell me about it, the table that Karin broke when she threw that awakened person was my table, I was having a nice chat with a friend, when suddenly a man falls on top of it and breaks our table."

Karin continued behind Gen for a few minutes and then Gen said, "Karin, let's stop this. Even though I can't stop you, you can't reach me either. Why don't we stop and have a drink with Gerald and Raja. Is that okay?", and she said, "That's fine, but not before I punch you at least.", "Well, I guess we won't be drinking anything then, because I don't feel like getting punched.", and then she said, "Let's see then.", suddenly everyone in the bar felt a strange sensation around them. No one could identify what it was, but something was different. At one point, everyone freaked out, they couldn't move. Gen then asked, "Karin, what did you do?"

Karin then said, "No big deal, I'm just using my essence," she then took a step forward, and the moment her foot touched the ground, everyone was able to move, but it only lasted a short time. She then took another step forward, and again everyone was able to move. Gen wasted no time and jumped as far away from her as he could, but in mid-jump his body stopped in mid-air. Karin then took another step, and Gen then fell out of the air, and immediately became paralyzed again. She then took another step, and the process was repeated again. This was repeated a few times, until at one point Raja said, "She's using the awakening wish to get at Gen!" Gerald then asked, "Awakening wish? What is that?", "When a person becomes an awakened they can make a wish that will be fulfilled using the full power of their essence."

Gerald then said, "What? I didn't know that. Well, it looks like Gen won't be able to escape a punch.", Raja then spoke up, "Gerald, you don't understand the gravity of the situation we are in. Gen could end up dying!", "What do you mean?!", "I told you, she is using the awakening wish to hit Gen. That means she is using the full force of her essence to do that. At this point, Karin is as strong as a King level person. And that means that Gen is going to be hit by a King, and he is only at the Outer level.", "Then we have to stop her. Karin!!! Stop!!!", "It's no use Gerald, she already made her wish. There's no turning back.", "So does that mean Gen will die?", "Not necessarily. Since I'm here, maybe I can do something. Luckily Karin doesn't know how to use her essence right yet, otherwise Gen would already be dead on the ground."

Raja then said, "Let me know when she is about to step on the ground.", Gerald then said, "Ok, what do you plan to do?", "You'll see.", Raja then closed his eyes and began to concentrate. He stayed like that for a few seconds, and then he heard Gerald say, "Now.", Raja then opened his eyes and said, "True Mirage!", after he said that, it was possible to see in his left eye an image of Gen running from Karin, and right after that both his eyes were taken by a smoke. It stayed for a few seconds in his eyes, and then dispersed. After it cleared it was possible to see the image of Gen in both his eyes, and he thought, 'There, now let's hope it works.', Gerald then asked, "What's up? Did it do what you wanted it to do?", "Unfortunately no ...now we can only hope that Karin doesn't kill Gen.", ".... Damn it!"

With each step Karin took, she got closer to Gen, to the point where she arrived right in front of him. Gen had already gotten up off the ground, but was unable to run from Karin. She then said, "Well, that's it Gen, now you're going to pay for the shame I experienced earlier.", "Easy Karin, you have no idea of the power you have in your hands right now. You could get me killed if you hit me," Karin then said, " There' s no point in lying Gen, you have no escape," "But I'm not lying!", Karin ignored him, and then punched him in the stomach. Gen flew a few feet and destroyed three tables in his path. Karin went towards him to check on him, and when she arrived, she saw that he was unconscious. She then said, "That Gen, is for all the shame you put me through. I hope you-"

Karin looked at Gen's body more carefully, and then noticed that the part where she had hit him was a little transparent. She then turned to Raja, and noticed that in his eyes was an image of Gen, and then she said, "The Gen I hit was fake!", she then turned to where Gen was before and said, "Where are you Gen!", and as she said this something like a wave came out of her and went through the whole bar. As this wave passed Raja, he closed his eyes, and said, "Argh!", he then threw his head back and as he came back with it opened his eyes again. His eyes were completely red, and he then thought, 'Damn, she ended up using authority unintentionally.', Gerald then asked, "Are you okay Raja?", "Yes, but there's nothing more I can do now."
