Capítulo 126: Root Admin Meeting I
Now, it was time to move attention back to Jun and his meeting with two individuals so vehemently seeking him.
They set to meet in a nice house bought by one of them just for convenience's sake so as to remain closeby to the rest of the investigators.
Jun chose to arrive in his preferred form of locomotion, teleportation, appearing in the exact room the two were waiting for him. Much to his disappointment however, only one of them showed a reaction, completely freezing up from shock.
The other while lighting up in joy, clearly over having finally met the one she had been so intently searching for, did not seem shocked or even surprised at all, which admittedly left Jun a bit disappointed even though he did not show it as it was completely childish of him.
The shocked one was a girl in her teens, with ink-black hair, pale skin color and black "clear void" like eyes. She had a sort of tomboyish demeanour about her despite her physical appearance speaking more of an elegant young lady and her clothes were the strange combination of a Yukata-like, single-piece kimono with a red leather jacket on top.
The other was a seemingly younger girls, very early in her teens or possibly even less. She wore a light green western dress with white frills and having light blonde hair and light blue eyes along with fair features due to her half-English, half-Japanese background.
"So, I hear you two girls have been looking for me." Jun greeted.
"Yes Jun-sama! I have been very much looking forward to meeting you." The younger looking of the two enthusiastically greeted back.
The other one just gave out a "tch", probably out of annoyance at Jun's choice of entrance and considering he was totally at fault and drawing such reactions was his exact intent, he did not at all mind the attitude, finding it a sign of a job well done.
'This from a man who nearly annihilated an old man out of disrespect.' In a very rare occurrence, Ahsaka felt like commenting on the hypocrisy of Jun's attitude. He however, masterfully ignored her very sound argument and kept his attention on the matter at hand.
"I assume we call all skip introductions then?" Jun proposed.
"Fine by me." The slightly older girl responded immediately with agreement coming from her partner shortly afterwards.
"Since my . . . partner . . . here, is not the most talkative sort, I'll explain why we both wished to meet you and we each have our own reasons . . ." The young girl began.
And, long story short, the pair had seeked him out based on a single common characteristic they all shared, even if in different ways. A connection to the Root of Akasha.
The younger girl of the two was Sajyou Manaka and the older one was Ryougi Shiki, and like Manaka had already said, while they both seeked him for their shared feature, their motivations and intentions were quite different.
Manaka was a transcendent magu, proficient in every magecraft in the entire world, with talent that surpassed even the magi from the Age of Gods, surpassing even regular Servants.
While lacking in the quantity of her Magic Circuits, their quality is beyond measurement and their composition is an abnormal, never-before-seen precedent, being directly connected to the Root ever since she was born.
Through that connection, Manaka had the ability to interfere with reality but was limited by the quantity of her magic circuits and could quickly be overwhelmed by the Counter Force if she tried to over extend.
She apparently had seen Jun's figure in a dream, someone like her, no, even superior by the sheer presence she had felt from a simple vision and so ever since, she had been looking for it, finding and enlisting Shiki due to her different connection helping out in making Manaka's visions clearer.
The young girl had basically kicked her family to the curb without a shred of pity, remorse or hesitation, despite already being in possession of their crest and her talent being her father's hope made manifest.
Her singular goal was to find Jun had stay by his side in whatever form he preferred but she had her own hopes.
"If possible, the position of a wife, or even just a concubine or mistress would be great . . ." She said in shy voice that apparently made Shiki beside her feel sick to the point of nearly vomiting, something made obvious with her surprisingly expressive face of disgust.
She was totally and utterly ignored though.
"Well, I don't mind having someone as capable as you around me. As for your position . . . We'll see how things go." Jun simply replied and thankfully, such a an answer seemed to be sufficient for Manaka . . . for the moment at the very least.
But then, there was the matter of Shiki . . . It terms of standard strength, she was weaker than Manaka due to a lack of magic circuits, making her a simply very strong human, nearly superhuman combatant.
She also had one of the most powerful Mystic Eyes of Death Perception on the Nasuverse, at least in the modern world as technically, the ancient god Balor had a precursor of said eyes that could not only see death, but actualize it with a single look.
Back to Shiki however, her eyes certainly made her a threat to many supernatural beings and while there were many beyond her means to fight, she possessed the ability to hurt most of them so long as she could land a hit. Immense luck would be required for that though.
After, even if well trained and bearing a trump card like a powerful self suggestion. Using it restructured her body starting from the brain to become purely for combat.
Shiki's muscles began to act in a way unbefitting that of a living being and her blood vessels would adjust themselves so that she did not even have to breathe. All functions of the body needed as a "human" were removed in favor of functions needed to be a weapon.
Once Shiki used her self-suggestion, she gained the ability able to battle supernatural beings like demons even without the use of her Mystic Eyes, and can even a form of precognition.
Deep within her however, laid another personality, usually referred to as [Ryougi Shiki] or just [ ], this last personality was also implied to take control when the usual Shiki made use of her self suggestion.
"It" was the one in control of her Connection to the Root one far more powerful than Manaka's and, if one discounted all of the broken Root related special abilities Jun had received and focused purely on his connection, more powerful than his as well.
How powerful exactly that made her however, was a matter of debate as there had been contradicting references made by various sources in Jun's previous life. Now that he was actually in front of her however, he could finally see the "truth" with his own eyes . . .
