Doa runs through the forest and finally arrives to where the explosion happened, she stares at the unconscious Minaro who is laying on the floor.

"What happened here? Is he still alive?" Doa thinks.

Doa walks over to Minaro and checks his pulse.

"He's alive, that's good."

Doa puts Minaro on her back and starts to walk away when she hears footsteps.

Rinka and Sumairu have arrived, Doa stares at them, Sumairu waves at her.

Sumairu: What happened here? Did you see the giant explosion?

Doa: Minaro was attacked by someone, he's still alive so I assume he either escaped or beat whatever attacked him.

Sumairu: Really now? He was attacked and won, I wonder if it was a strong opponent?

Doa: Maybe not that strong.

Sumairu: I guess we'll ask him when he wakes up.

Rinka, Sumairu and Doa walk together through the forest and to the skill center.

…

Someone enters a room.

Someone else is sitting on a chair next to a desk.

Yoshanai: Hey do we have someone with a healing skill by any chance?

The white haired guy with the red eyes and yellow cross pupils from before looks up at Yoshanai.

"What happened to you?" He asks.

Yoshanai: That black blood dude you sensed, I found him and he beat me, I almost died!

The white haired guy smiles a little.

"He beat you? Wow that's interesting, what about the other one? There were 2."

Yoshanai: Oh, I never found the second one, but If we want to kill the first one, send another member with me.

"No, he beat you, he's clearly different from most with black blood. We're not gonna kill him, at least not yet."

Yoshanai: We're not killing him?

"I'm tired of waiting years for a new black blood person to be born, so let's just let these two grow, they're black blood will get stronger along with them, and I'll complete my dream faster."

...

Black blood is mostly sought after because it can be used by anyone, it has to be filtered which is why no one drinks the blood in battles. If one person were to drink gallons of filtered black blood, the chances of they're red blood become black get higher and once they do get black blood, they get chances at reviving after death and a little more strength. Which is why people with black blood mostly die young, everyone is after their black blood.

...

Yoshanai: So we just let them get stronger? They have black blood, we don't just kill people with black blood for the blood, we also kill them so that they don't get too strong and kill us!

"Yoshanai, it doesn't matter how strong they get, I'll kill them, I'll kill them all, nothing will stop my dream."

Yoshanai sighs.

Yoshanai: Alright I'm gonna go look for a healer now. Goodluck with your plan.

The white haired man looks back down at a notebook on his desk. He continues to write in it. At the top of a page he writes the current date and his full name.

"Yutsu Soyahashi."

…

Imma-ite walks through the skill center looking for the room Sumairu gave him. He stops in front of a wooden door and sticks his key into it's keyhole.

Imma-ite slams the door open and walks into the room. He sees Minaro, Sumairu, Maya and Rinka all sitting together talking.

"I was promised a comfy room, Why are there people in my room?" He thinks.

Sumairu notices Imma-ite standing there staring at them.

Sumairu: Hey! Imma-ite you finally came!

Imma-ite: Yeah. Am I in the right room?

Sumairu: Yes! You get to stay in this room with Rinka, Minaro and Maya.

Imma-ite: Blue sweater boy, girl dude and a cute girl? You promised me a comfy room, I was expecting a room all for myself!

Sumairu: Were you now? I never said the room wasn't going to have other people in it.

Imma-ite: Whatever bro.

Imma-ite closes the door and sits down on a sofa, then he instantly falls asleep.

Sumairu looks at Minaro and Rinka.They look at him.

Sumairu: Ok, so back to what we were talking about... Minaro you said you got a new skill?

Minaro: Yeah. I'm pretty sure, they were space rifts.

Rinka: What did they look like?

Minaro: An open hole with white cracks around it and in the hole I could see space.

Sumairu: That's cool. What could you do with them?

Minaro: When I was fighting that guy before, the rifts appeared and somehow I could see everything that I could do with the rifts… I would think of an object I wanted to bring out and it would show me how much energy it would take.

Sumairu: Anything else? I need to know how much you think you know about this skill.

Minaro: Most of the things I was able to bring out were things from space, I brought out solar flares, gamma rays, an asteroid and a part of a dying star to create a supernova explosion.

Rinka: Wouldn't most of those things be really dangerous?

Minaro: Yeah. But for some reason I was immune to whatever I brought out, nothing that came out the rifts could hurt me, I had brought out a magnetar and it didn't do anything to me but almost killed the guy I was fighting.

Sumairu: A magnetar!? This seems like a strong skill. Those things could destroy the world!

Minaro: Not the things I get from these rifts, everything I got out the rifts was weaker than what they would actually be, I guess it's because I'm still kinda weak because a real supernova explosion would have probaly destroyed a lot.

Sumairu: Super interesting! I guess we'll train up that rift skill of yours tomorrow… I'm gonna go check on the girl Rinka and I saved.

Sumairu walks towards the door, opens it and leaves.

Minaro looks at Rinka.

…

Sumairu enters a room, Doa is sitting on a chair using her phone. The brown haired girl they had saved is awake and eating chocolate bear cookies on her bed. Sumairu waves at her.

Sumairu: Hi?

The brown haired girl looks up at him.

"Hi''

Sumairu: How have you been?

"Good"

Sumairu: I'm assuming Doa already told you everything you wanted to know?

The brown haired girl nods her head.

Sumairu: Alright, finish eating and then I'll show you the room you'll be staying in.

…

Rinka and Minaro are eating spaghetti at the table when someone knocks on the door. Rinka stands up, walks towards the door and opens it.

Sumairu, Doa and the brown haired girl were standing outside.

Sumairu: Hi, I'm back. I just wanted to let these two in.

Doa and the brown haired girl walk into the room. Rinka stares at them and then looks back at Sumairu.

Sumairu: By the way, they're gonna live in this room now, with you guys.

Rinka: Oh. Ok?

Sumairu: Alright I'm leaving now.

Sumairu walks away, Rinka closes the door and walks back to the table.

…

A few hours have gone by, Imma-ite wakes up and sees Minaro, Doa, Rinka, Maya and the brown haired girl all talking to each other.

"I wake up and there's even more people I don't know." He thinks.

Imma-ite stands up. Rinka, Maya, Doa, Minaro and the brown haired girl look at him.

Imma-ite: Ok! If i'm gonna live in the same room as you guys, I have to know all your names! So say em!

Rinka: I'm Rinka.

Imma-ite: Rinks, uh huh.

Doa: I'm Doa.

Imma-ite: Do-a, Yeah?

Minaro: I'm Minaro.

Imma-ite: Mineral? Alright.

Maya: I'm Maya.

Imma-ite: Mayo, kay.

Doa looks at Ashi.

Doa: The girl with brown hair is Ashi.

Imma-ite: Ass-high? Cool.

Imma-ite walks towards the bathroom.

Rinka: Dude butchers all of our names and walks away, what the fuck.

Rinka looks at Ashi. Ashi stares at the floor.

Rinka: Anyways Ashi what were you saying?

Ashi is shy.

Ashi: Where are we going to sleep?

Rinka: Well there's 2 bedrooms, so the girls can take one and the boys the other.

Ashi: Oh...Ok.

Maya looks at Ashi.

Maya: By the way Ashi do you have any skills?

Ashi: I have a skill that lets me summon a little bit of wind.

Doa yawns. Everyone looks at her.

Doa: Sorry, I'm just a bit tired... Actually I think I'm gonna go to the bedrooms and sleep now since we're probably gonna do more training tomorrow.

Doa walks towards the bedroom.

Maya: Well, I'll guess I'll go too, since I want to become better friends with Doa.

Maya walks towards the bedroom.

Rinka and Minaro look at Ashi, She stands up and walks towards the bedroom.

Rinka and Minaro stand up and walk towards their bedroom. Imma-ite swings the bathroom door open and looks around the living room.

"Oh, did everyone go to their bedrooms? I guess I'll sleep on the couch."
