Observing the night sky with the stars filling the space-filling it with life, while the moonlight illuminated his face that looked more and more ethereal, having a beauty impossible for human nature.
Ren was thinking about the attitude of his older brother Ouman, who for a few weeks had noticed his more boring character over time, since for a few years, Ren fought against Ouma achieving a tie, but in that tie, the winner was Ren thanks to his [Sniper Rifle Mastery(Master)], which made him smile back then.
With the sound of grass being stepped on and the quiet walk heading in his direction, Ren smiled in amusement as Ouma walked towards him -"Looks like you found something to do, Ouma-kun."
Without answering and following his walk towards him, until stopping a meter away, Ouma looked at Ren -"I've done it"- Taking out his Device and pointing the sword at Ren -"The only opponent who can fight me in these last few years is you, therefore. I have decided to have one last match with you until the future, as I plan to embark on a search for other opponents."
Nodding at his older brother's words, Ren got up from the grass and put the sleeping Shizuku into a sleeping bag, gently kissing Shizuku's forehead earning a bright smile from her, Ren walked over to Ouma.
"Don't take too long"
Smiling at Shizuku's whispered words, Ren walked with confident steps towards Ouma -"This will be our last match for a long time."- Stopping a meter away from Ouma, Ren smiled in his direction "You want a battle of technique or one with magic?"
Thinking about Ren's words carefully, Ouma went through the two options, until deciding on a technique battle, since their first battle a few years ago, they had used everything in their arsenal, and even with that, Ren was able to defeat him, which he did. which made him smile.
Also, seeing Shizuku a few meters away, Ouma knew that if he 'woke up' her or an attack landed in his direction, Ren would overreact, as he had his own experience on the subject.
"A battle of technique."
With those simple words coming out of Ouma, Ren smiled and then materialized a [Sword of Light], using the moonlight as his energy so as not to have to use his Mana to maintain the sword.
Taking a stance with his Nodachi pointed at the ground and his legs pressing down on the ground with his gaze fixed on his opponent, Ouma took a rare stance as it was not a 'stance' of a technique, thanks to his strong body he trained from the moment he awakened his Device, Ouma would have a C+ rank qualified body, which would translate to having a body and strength 7 times more than the F-rank Blazer, who would be at the peak Human, with a physical of Rank F.
Having a Physique of rank C+ at the age of only 12 years was an incredible feat since the Blazers awaken a Physique of rank F on their awakening from their Device or very close to it, which had the consequence that most of The Blazers do not train their body, as they could temporarily improve it by using their Mana as a boost, increasing their Strength, Defense and Speed by 5 to 6 times.
And what they trained their Physique, they would have to do every day and increase the amount of training they would have to do, since with an E rank Physique they would be twice as strong as a Blazer with an F rank Physique.
Therefore having a Physique higher than F Rank would require constant and stronger training as his Physique becomes tougher and stronger, and for Ouma to have a Physique C+ was quite a feat at the age of 12, not counting Ren, who practically 'cheated' by absorbing Ambient Mana to strengthen his body in the awakening of his Device.
Observing the 'stance' Ouma was using, Ren nodded since from what he could see, there was no gap where he could take advantage of a weaker defense, which was understandable since Ouma practically spent most of his time training his sword technique.
"Alright let's start"- Whispering those words, Ren took a position almost equal to Ouma's, since thanks to his high Dexterity, he could easily react to Ouma's blows, and that of most of the Blazers, and probably the Desperado's weaker.
Holding his sword with his dominant hand which is his right, while his other hand rested, as he looked at Ouma with a smile, Ren waited for his attack.
Looking at Ren, Ouma just ignored him, since he knew the temper of his younger brother, who messed with anyone except Shizuku, who he protected with all his might.
Slightly bending his legs and gathering all his strength into them, Ouma quickly launched himself at Ren, who was still holding his position as his smile grew a little bigger.
Easily bridging the one-meter distance between them in the blink of an eye, Ouma still had his expressionless expression, which if compared to his normal expressionless expression, he would notice was more 'blank' face, as if his face had no life, which was a contrast to Ren who had his characteristic calm smile that matched his face.
Lowering his body the instant he was inches away from Ren, Ouma turned the edge of his Nodachi Upwards, so using his high control over his body, he directed the Momentum of his Explosive Speed as Ren called it, and directed all that momentum into a vertical slash at Ren.
While Ouma directed a vertical slash at Ren using the Explosive Speed boost, as Ren called it. Ren himself was using all of his Dexterity stat to speed up his thinking and processing speed, which was 10 times that of a Blazer or the average person.
Ren could feel time slowing down, or more specifically, his perception became so fast that it seemed like time was slowing down, allowing him to live a second as if it were ten or even more.
Noticing Ouma's movement with his high perception, Ren moved slightly dodging the blow in what seemed like luck, but if there was an expert to watch Ren and Ouma's combat, he would notice that this 'luck' was not a coincidence.
*fiuuush*
With the sound of the wind cutting and Ren's shirt getting a vertical cut showing his developed body with compact muscles in his form and a line of blood from his chest to his stomach, being curious that his blood seemed to be golden as if the same light will sprout from his wound.
Ouma momentarily turned his attention to that abnormal 'spectacle' that Ren's body displayed, which cost him the victory, as using his Strength and Dexterity, which allows him to gain control over his body, which seemed like something that the children of the Kurogane clan would get one way or another.
Ren produced Explosive Speed to move a meter away, which was covered in the blink of an eye. And holding that Momentum and momentum within him, then directing it to everything in his body evenly, but more concentrated on his legs and arms, Ren advanced at such a terrifying speed, that there seemed to be a 'Ren' at his previous location, which disappeared in a few seconds.
"[Mercy]"- With those words being easily heard, the place seemed to turn into a silence, which was recovered with the soft words that came out of Ren's mouth.
An explosion of blood ran through Ouma's body, who frowned slightly as he fell to the ground, as if he were a puppet whose string was cut, while several lines of blood wrapped his entire body which was shown to the world since the upper part of his Kimono had disappeared from existence.
Walking with a calm smile on his face and his expression being a calm one, which contrasted a lot with the state of his body, which had a blood line that had healed easily, only leaving the blood that seemed the same light.
On the other hand, you could also notice his torn pants, which showed his legs that were bleeding, which also had a reddish and purple tone covering his two legs, being the same show for his arms, which were in a worse state, showing all of his hands, forearms and upper arms in a deep purple color, with blood gushing from his fingers to his shoulder.
"Thank you for this practice Ouma-kun, you made me advance in my technique"- Smiling without showing pain in his body, Ren walked towards Ouma to help since his regeneration was taking a while to heal all those wounds that He had done.
[You have obtained 100% Technique Mastery: [Mercy]
[The skill;[Sword Mastery] has advanced to Expert rank(12.5%)]
"I must thank you, Ren-kun. You gave me an idea to create a new technique" - With his frown visibly relaxing when he saw how his wound was healing quickly with the help of Ren, who was recovering the wound by transmuting the cells and using Light to recover it to its pristine state, that Spell, Ren had called it [Rebirth].
Previously Ren was thinking of calling the spell [Rebirth: 3rd day], but since he couldn't think of anything for the first or second day, Ren decided to put the name aside for now, as he was looking for ideas, and it had come to him some, but he had to test them with people since his Soul was that of a Seraph and therefore his idea would not be so good with him, since he knew that it would work 100% if he healed his Soul with the Light.
"You're welcome, but even though I don't say this much, I'll miss seeing you training out there, just like I miss Ikki"- Sitting on the ground, as he turned his gaze towards Shizuku, who had gotten up from the sleeping bag, as he headed towards him with an angry look and a pout that made her face look prettier, Ren waited for the 'punishment' that Shizuku would give him.
Saying nothing as he got up from the ground with some difficulty, Ouma glanced briefly at Ren -"I miss those days too."- Leaving those parting words, Ouma headed towards the mansion to change his clothes.
"Nii-sama! How many times has I told you, when you try one of your techniques, let me know!"
Calmly getting up from the ground as he walked towards Shizuku who was blushing with every step he took, Ren stopped in front of her "I'm sorry Shizuku, but it was the excitement of the moment." Speaking softly while stroking her head, Shizuku just let out a lovingly sigh.
"Just let me know, okay?"- Smiling in response, Shizuku could only sigh as she smiled lovingly at him -"Now your punishment is to be my pillow for tonight."- With those words brightening the mood, Ren and Shizuku headed to their room, while in the distance Hitomi watched all this with a wistful look on her face.
"Other of my babies are leaving"- sighing at that, Hitomi headed towards her room -"At least two of my little ones will stay with me"- Reviewing the faces of the twin brothers, Hitomi lay down on her bed with a motherly smile in her face.
