"What would happen if the energies ran out?" Aya asked.

"That's almost impossible. Just like the water you drink is a billion years old. The energy is a result of a never-ending cycle. When one uses their power, the spiritual energy appears to be gone but in truth.

It simply changed to small particles and dispersed. It then seeped into the ground and after a complicated process, it went back to the flow of the earth." Narukami said as he put Asahi's training partner in the middle of the room.

"Well now, Asahi. Is there anything you would like to ask?"

He was a new guy around here, including Aya but she wasn't an official sorcerer.

"Narukami-san, why did I keep hearing murmurings?"

"When one gets injected with an Anomaly foul, they would hear murmurings. These are the sounds of the emotions that Anomaly had gathered. Do you remember why most people wouldn't last fifteen minutes?"

Asahi reflexively nodded and Narukami continued, "they couldn't withstand these murmurings and lost control, resulting in the Anomaly foul in their body growing rapidly, five times faster." Narukami paused as he aimed his palm to the ground and as though pulling out something that pierced the ground. 

He raised his hand and a simple, wooden chair with a soft cushion raised from the ground.

He sat there and rested his chin on his hand. 

"Do you remember anything before an Anomaly plants its foul into you?" He asked nonchalantly.

Before Asahi could answer it. Ryu abruptly said, "Awesome! How'd you do that, Narukami?" Ryu's eyes opened wide in surprise as his brows raised. His mouth slightly opened.

"Since this room was lent to me from Tin. I could control it freely." Narukami snapped his fingers and a few chairs appeared after rising from the floor.

"When a captain requested a training space, they were given control of the entire room," Narukami added.

Of course, there were some things in here that can't be created such as a nuclear bomb and dangerous explosives.

Grenades were allowed, for the fact that no one was dumb enough to throw it to your friend, he said inwardly.

They took a seat and Asahi pinched his chin as he fell in deep thought. A half and a minute later, "I'm sorry, Narukami. Not that I don't want to speak of it, I didn't know what happened. I lost a week's worth of memory."

The room fell into silence before they noticed it. Narukami was surprised but it only lasted a few seconds.

"A week's worth of memory? What's the last thing you remembered?"

Asahi shook his head with no hesitation, "nope, still can't remember. Even if I tried, my head either ended up hurt, and the murmurings in my head intensified."

With no further explanation and clues, Asahi's situation was unknown.

There were few possibilities, one was Asahi got kidnapped by a dangerous organization a week ago and somehow escaped, perhaps in that week.

He was experimenting with cruel research. Maybe the result of that research was him with no sign of his life energy being corrupted?

Such a thing could happen? 

After a short while of wondering for an answer, Narukami enhanced his vision with spiritual energy, allowing him to see Asahi's state.

In his vision. Asahi's figure became black, his skin, face, and clothes turned black.

Ignoring his clothes, Narukami perceived blue lines spread throughout Asahi's entire figure in somewhat neat yet complicated order.

These blue lines have the shape same as human blood vessels.

The only particular difference was that. The closer to the heart, the lines were a bit bigger and thicker. The further they were, the thinner they became. From a different perspective, these blue lines were similar to branches and were quite beautiful.

These lines were spiritual energy that flowed on a human body. It flowed alongside the blood and was kind of different as it has an abnormal and immaterial property.

Ordinary humans have these lines but the amount of spiritual energy was close to none, making them black with few blue dots.

Sorcerers on the other hand. All the lines were blue.

His body had evolved despite no Anomaly foul corrupting him? Narukami asked himself in doubt. He never saw such a thing.

Why did he hear those murmurings then? Narukami's brows were knitted, almost touching.

The changes in Narukami's expression made Asahi unsettled and worried.

"Your body is interesting. I never saw anything like this before. 

I do, however, have a few ideas why this happened but I am not certain. Z might have something to say and if his words are the same as one of the few ideas in my mind.

Everything from there would be a smooth sail and if not, well, there is always a way. Similar to how every poison has its antidote, the universe has everything to balance anything." Narukami paused and Asahi's brows slightly creased.

"I'm willing to help you but it's not for free."

Asahi's expression turned solemn. Although the latter, he was relieved that it wasn't something dangerous. The reason why he turned solemn was that he was going to involve in the unknown, which was his past.

Nothing more than terrifying than that.

Additionally, he was solemnly thinking about what he had to pay. From Narukami's words, it appeared that his condition was rare or new.

He was given two choices, to run or to face it. Should the first one, it would soon come back to him and bite him, devouring him in restlessness if not.

The former was dangerous but with Narukami on his side, he believed it's going to be okay.

His captain said it himself that everything's going to be smooth sailing!

Seeing Asahi's reaction, Narukami asked nonchalantly, "so. What's your decision?"

"Please help me, captain! I don't know how much you want but I'm willing to pay any price!"

"Very well but I'm not in a tight position, I'll tell you what to pay when the time comes. Also, don't call me captain, we're the same age, well almost."

Although Narukami was a year ahead of him.. Such a thing didn't bother him as they were in the same age category, which was 'teen'.
