Capítulo 11: Chapter 10 : Revelation

After the hour had passed, Zankoku woke up first and a few seconds later, Jinn did as well. The doctor went out of the room and gave the news to sensei Primal and Satoru, afterwards walking off. Before Satoru could enter the room and open the door, sensei Primal stopped him and called him over to another room.

Closing the door behind them, Primal told Satoru something.

"That red energy that entered them, that you saw, is a part of Korama and ultimately it's energy was transferred to them in an effort to survive. But I hold a feeling that not both of them got the hollow version and instead one was given the non-hollow beast." he said quietly in the otherwise empty room.

"Does that mean they hold the power to command it?" asked Satoru, hoping that they do not.

Sensei looked at the ceiling with just his eyes and back towards Satoru, going to reply. "Yes. So without them knowing, we must find out which one is the pseudo host for Korama."

Satoru had this one question inside of his head for a while but didn't want to ask it, until now of course...

"Sensei, who really are you?"

"My true name is Karoi. I'm similar as you are, except I am a half-breed which makes me a Demi-God yet still the God of Wild." he said without any hesitation.

The white haired boy didn't seem surprised, but didn't know how to respond. Before he could think of anything, the one in front of him spoke once more.

"By this point, I'm pretty sure that Nova knows it too and even if he doesn't, he's bound to find out eventually as were you. Assuming the off-chance that he survived."

"I see.. It all makes sense now, yet I don't mind. Just... How do we find out which one is which of the host?" he asked.

"I'll take their blood and test it, and whichever one burns more is the one that got a portion of Korama's energy." said Karoi.

Two birds flew through the open window, with each one holding a paper with blood, dropping it and flying out the window. Since Primal, no.. Karoi is the God of Wild he can communicate and fight alongside animals in nature.

Summoning a small flame from his finger, they each ignited the papers which had the initials on it with both 'J' and 'Z', symbolizing each of the two boys. When set aflame, the one that was burning more and the one that had received Korama's energy was undoubtedly... Jinn.

[Name : Karoi]

[Species : Demi-God]

[Strength : Mountain level?]

[Speed : Supersonic, 682,3m/s]

[IQ : Average]

[Abilities : Animal Whispering, lightning manipulation, flame manipulation, simple white lightning manipulation]

[Age : around 45 possibly older, appearance : in 20's]

"Satoru, you know what this means right?" he asked, implying something.

Refusing to believe it, the white haired boy just watched as the paper was entirely burnt away.

"Yes... But what now, do we tell them?" he asked.

"You distract Zankoku while I speak privately to Jinn and tell him a few things such as not mentioning being in possession of Korama to anyone and sticking close to you." replied Karoi.

Satoru nodded his head and left the room, going to the one where they were and calling Zankoku out to the hallway, making their way out of the hospital to where sensei was.

"You two go and retrieve something from the Nimbus village. It should be a jar containing some purple liquid in the village leader's building. Specifically it's 48.7% of something. If you don't think you can't then I'll send Satoru by himself." said Primal.

Instantly, Zankoku waved his head no and exclaimed : "No, no! I'm fine. I'm down to do it."

"Good" said Karoi as he turned around and headed back inside, slightly waving to them.

The two walked away into the street, going to the outside of the walls of the village by following the path to initiate something. On their way there, Zankoku engaged a conversation.

"I can see that you becoming a God changes things. You're much stronger and faster now." he commented.

Still looking forward, passing by the houses and quite a few stands, he asked : "If given the opportunity, would you become one as well?"

"I haven't really thought about it, so I don't know." replied Zankoku, with uncertainty in his voice, now starting to think about it.

"I see." said Satoru, without any particular tone or expression change.

They'd quickly walk to outside of the village due to the hospital being near the walls and as they stood there, Zankoku formed a sign with his hand and placed his other arm on Satoru's shoulder, initiating the technique and teleporting them to Nimbus village just like that.

"So he can teleport too.." thought the white haired boy to himself as he was met with the Nimbus village in front of himself. There were a lot of rocks in the village, with some buildings being built on some as well, with red bridges connecting them to the main bridge.

Not wasting any time, Satoru and Zankoku headed to the building of the leader, entering inside with no one there to their luck. They opened the door to the 3rd floor where the leader resides and checked the drawers and cabinets for the jar.

Hearing someone coming to the room, they hurried up and with Zankoku placing his arm on Satoru's shoulder and holding the sign, he waited until Satoru was able to find it in the last cabinet and grab it as the door was beginning to open, he initiated the sign and teleported them out of there.

Being brought back to somewhere near Blaze village, they had to walk back from the large opening due to Zankoku's technique still remaining unmastered.

When returning back, with their absence of 2 minutes, they got to the outside of the hospital where Karoi standing outside with his arms crossed.

"Hey sensei, where's Jinn?" asked Zankoku, slightly yelling because he wasn't that close.

"Jinn left back to Ember." he said, following up with a sigh and "Zankoku, you now hold a part of Korama, specifically 30% of the sub-beast."

Being surprised by this, his eyes widened and he was excited about it for some odd reason. "Wait really!? That's awesome!" he exclaimed.

With a cold tone to his voice, Karoi just looked at him and commented : "Yeah. So do your best to honor it and become strong."

"I will sensei!" he exclaimed once more.

"Good." said Karoi, putting his hands in his pants pockets and turning to go inward towards the village, now facing the sun and walking.

Satoru and Zankoku followed him with no questions.

"Satoru, that mark over your eye, when did it start to appear?" asked Karoi still heading on ahead.

"About an hour or two after the death of Thor." replied the boy.

Continuing on, not flinching. "I see. That mark is a curse, one which I do not entirely understand." he said to the boy.

"I see."

Since he had a question and was eager to ask it, Zankoku didn't hesitate to ask.

"Sensei are you a God?" asked the boy, with Satoru's eyes dwindling to the side and watching him and the sensei still walking, being rather hesitant with his answer but ended up thinking 'oh what the hell' and spilling.

"I am. My name is Karoi." he said, with the usual cold voice.

"Haha, I knew it!" yelled out Zankoku.

"I'm impressed that you were able to 'figure' it out." commented Karoi

Arriving to what seemed a food stand where one could sit and order food, they each ordered something to eat. Of course their meals contained a lot of protein-based food.

They sat down on the circular chairs and began to eat.

"So sensei, what are the other Gods like?" asked Zankoku intriguingly

Karoi continued on eating and only after he swallowed had he decided to answer his question.

"My brother was Thor and my father is Odin. Despite that, I despise them. The others Gods are no better. Their beliefs are entirely unknown and quite frankly, meaningless to me. I could care less about the other Gods."

Nodding his head while eating his ordered steak, Zankoku swallowed the bite and asked : "Do you perhaps know what happened to Nova? I know he said he'll go after the God of Death but that's insane... He's our age and it took all 4 of us to kill Thor..." he said.

Swallowing the chicken bite, Karoi slightly nodded left and right a few times before answering. "If he isn't dead, he's either at the mercy of the God or imprisoned in Olympus due to the conspiracy and plotting to eliminate a God."

After much more chit chat and questions from Zan, they had finished their meal and payed up, going to leave the Blaze village but to their surprise, they had ran into someone from before, someone unbelievable to see with their eyes... Nova.

"Yo." he said, in a relaxed tone and slightly torn clothes.

"Hades had mercy on you?" asked Karoi.

"Nah.. I killed him." said Nova, changing the climate of the conversation.

"Impossible.. By yourself?" What the boy in front of them said, had them in disbelief, specifically and mostly Karoi. He knows how strong the Gods are and that it's practically impossible to achieve such feat yet with his eyes and energy.. He sensed that Nova is now the new God of Hell.

"I know who you are now, Karoi." said Nova with a stone cold gaze into his eyes through the mask.

"Do you resent me?" asked the God of Wild.

"I don't care about you. As far as I know, you're not guilty of anything yet." he said, implying that he thinks he can kill Karoi easily now...

Adding on, "Consider me back into the team too."

Karoi nodded his head and sighed before continuing on speaking : "Alright then. To test you, all of you, I'll send you after the 4 tailed beast nearby here. Your task is to eliminate it."

Satoru rolled his eyes but they all nodded and vanished from their positions, going to hunt it down and eliminate it immediately. Finding it in the forest, each of them activated their specific forms. Satoru with the Storm Aura, Zankoku the Speed Form and Nova's aura wasnt' particularly familiar but it was a dark purple.

The beast was quick to attack as it wandered and they all attacked it in formation.

The fight itself was over quickly, each of them had a couple of bruises but regardless, they had wiped it out quite quickly. It was only a couple of minutes, but then again it was a slightly weakened version of the beast...

Even so, all 4 of them returned back to Ember village with their own means of transport. Satoru and Karoi used the bifrost, Zankoku teleported with the sign and Nova made a portal...

"Just how powerful is Nova..." had the white haired boy wondering the entire time.
