Chương 16: Chapter 15
I am not the owner of these characters, each right belongs to its respective author. I write this story for fun.
I noticed some errors in a few chapters and I am fixing them.

A strong tremor shook the entire capital, with many people running away from buildings that were starting to collapse while others helped those around them. The significant factor was the sudden explosion of immense magical power and cursed energy, seemingly causing the tremor.
Yami and Satoru both turned towards the source of the magical power. Yami had an idea of what was happening, but Satoru could see the situation more clearly. In a castle, where the source of this magical power and cursed energy was spiraling out of control, he saw vines with thorns and flowers, specifically roses.
These vines started to wrap around several houses, attacking people nearby and destroying some homes.
*Several minutes earlier*
Walking through the streets of the capital, a beautiful woman moved with great tranquility, exuding an aura of serenity, confidence, strength, courage, and above all, respect. Many were stunned and captivated by her appearance.
She is Charlotte, the new Magic Knight of the Blue Rose squad. She had just completed a mission, bringing great merit to her squad and increasing her popularity, not only because of her beauty but also due to her remarkable strength.
Two nobles appeared in front of her, kneeling and presenting gifts. One showed a large, beautiful bouquet, while the other displayed a box with a stunning ring. Both nobles aimed to propose marriage to Charlotte.
"Miss Charlotte, marry me."
"No, marry me!"
Stopping her steps, Charlotte glanced at the nobles in front of her who had just proposed. Immediately, both were lifted by several stems of blue roses, showcasing her magical power but also her curse.
The nobles, unable to do anything, were terrified. Charlotte spoke first.
"If you cannot defeat me, you will never endure my curse."
Releasing her magical power, the nobles fell to the ground in fear, quickly getting up and running away while screaming. Watching them flee after witnessing a fraction of her power, Charlotte felt deeply disappointed.
(All men are weak charlatans; I'll handle this alone.)
After this disappointing moment, she continued her walk home, soon arriving at a large, well-designed castle, showcasing magnificent details. Charlotte entered the castle to rest.

Moments later, without anyone knowing, the curse erupted. Charlotte's magical power went out of control, and several rose stems sprouted everywhere, destroying tables, walls, windows, and pillars. The stems spread in all directions, some people managed to escape while others were injured.
Everyone quickly distanced themselves, leaving Charlotte alone in the hall. She began to be enveloped by the stems and lifted into the air, forming a cocoon of pure stems and blue roses. Inside, Charlotte struggled to control her magical power.

*Outside the mansion*
"Run! Roselei's curse!!!"
"Curse?"
"Help!!"
-----
*Inside the mansion*
*Charlotte's POV*
Tch, I can't control it, I can't stop it. If this continues, the entire city will soon be engulfed in chaos.
Sorry.
I am pathetic.
I'm sorry, father, mother....
Losing the will to fight the curse, Charlotte gave up, allowing the curse to continue. She closed her eyes, hoping this was a dream, but soon a loud crash shook the entire mansion, creating a small opening of light among the stems.
She heard voices, one belonging to a person but also another. It seemed someone was cutting through the stems. Trying to figure out who these people were, her thoughts were interrupted by a strong blow and the opening of a hole.
There were two people: the first seemed to be a teenager with white hair and dark glasses, and the other was Yami Sukehiro. Before she could understand what they were doing there, she noticed they were arguing.
"YOU MUSCLE-HEAD IDIOT, WHY DID YOU THROW ME?"
"SHUT UP, BLIND KID. IT WAS THE BEST OPTION."
"YOU COULD HAVE JUST CUT THROUGH AND REACHED HERE WITHOUT ME."
"BUT IT WAS EASIER WITH YOU HERE, ESPECIALLY WITH THAT BLACK AND RED ELECTRIC STRIKE."
"SMOKING MUSCLE-HEAD IDIOT."
"STINKY BLIND ALBINO KID."

*Moments earlier*
"This has gotten pretty bad."
"You're right about that, blind kid." - Looking at Satoru intently, Yami squinted slightly, but Satoru merely gave him an amused, mocking smile.
Clicking his tongue in annoyance at the mockery, Yami turned his attention back to the destruction, placing his hand on the hilt of his katana. He unsheathed it, infusing it with mana, and began to cut through the approaching stems.
Cutting through the stems was easy, but they were regenerating quickly. So, he started cutting them faster, and thanks to his dark magic, their regeneration began to slow. Seeing this, he turned to look at the blind kid beside him, recalling that he had no mana.
But upon turning, he was slightly surprised to see the kid standing calmly with his hands in his pockets, seemingly unfazed by the stems that were stopping inches from him. Satoru noticed Yami's gaze and gave him a playful, teasing smile.
Yami clicked his tongue in annoyance at the mockery and focused on the approaching stems and the large mana signature behind them. He began walking and cutting through each stem to reach the source of the disaster.
Satoru followed behind, taking advantage of Yami's path-clearing, avoiding the exhaustion of constantly using his infinity. His curiosity about who was causing the chaos also played a part.

*Minutes later*
Satoru and Yami reached what seemed to be a castle, but it looked more like a botanical garden surrounded by flower stems. Both focused on the castle, specifically its center. Using his ki, Yami identified the person causing the disaster and the reason behind it. Satoru saw the person with immense magical power and cursed energy.
(She's the captain of the Blue Roses, right?)
Yami considered how to reach the center, thinking the stems were becoming more resistant. He could cut through them, but it was too much work. An idea came to him, and he turned to the blind kid.
Satoru, sensing Yami's gaze, turned to see a cheerful and creepy smile. Understanding what was about to happen, Yami grabbed him by the collar.
"Hey, wait, what are you doing?"
"You're opening the path, and I'm taking advantage."
"But why???"
"Because you did it earlier."
Without wasting time, Yami gathered strength in his arm, enhancing it with magical power. With veins bulging in his arm, he pulled back and hurled Satoru with great force, sending the white-haired boy flying through the sky.
Surprised, Satoru activated his infinity to avoid being touched by the stems. He approached a wall at high speed. He could have teleported, but he decided to enjoy the sensation of flying, something he hadn't mastered yet.
Setting aside the excitement, he saw a wall of stems approaching. Without wasting time, he channeled cursed energy into his right arm, praying to any god he knew, including football champions and especially Diego Maradona for luck.
(Please, please, please, please, please work. I don't want to hurt my arm.)
A blue and black flame appeared in his right fist but disappeared instantly. Feeling the cursed energy flow through his arm, he clenched his teeth and buttocks and shouted with some force.
"KOKUSEENN (Black Flash)!"
A loud sound of shattering glass followed by strong red and black lightning appeared. Satoru smiled, seeing his Black Flash successful. The stems shattered instantly, destroying the wall.
Satoru landed, proud of his accomplishment, adding a new technique to his repertoire. However, he felt he needed more practice to use it better.
Sensing familiar mana, Yami appeared behind him, removing his cigarette and looking at Satoru curiously.
"You have no mana but can use spells. What are you, kid?"
"I'm the strongest, hehe."
Ignoring his jest, Yami proceeded to cut through the stems, clearing a path. It didn't take long to find the person causing the disaster. Before they could speak, Satoru started arguing.
"If you could destroy everything, WHY THE HELL DID YOU THROW ME?"
"It was easier."
"YOU MUSCLE-HEAD IDIOT, WHY DID YOU THROW ME?"
"SHUT UP, BLIND KID. IT WAS THE BEST OPTION."
"YOU COULD HAVE JUST CUT THROUGH AND REACHED HERE WITHOUT ME."
"BUT IT WAS EASIER WITH YOU HERE, ESPECIALLY WITH THAT BLACK AND RED ELECTRIC STRIKE."
"SMOKING MUSCLE-HEAD IDIOT."
"STINKY BLIND ALBINO KID."
