Chương 17: Awakening Of Sacred Gear!
Awakening Of Sacred Gear!
"Both of you have sacred Gear. Now let's activate your gears. Isumi, first let me guide you how to awaken yours."
Standing, Ruby starts to walk to the centre of the room, where magic circle is draw, she stands in centre of the magic circle and turned toward Isumi. "Come here."
Isumi little's hesitate but slowly rose and approached Ruby. "Raise your left hand," Ruby instructed firmly.
"Why?" Isumi asked, confused.
"Just do it," Ruby said, her voice leaving no room for argument.
Isumi raised her hand tentatively. "Now focus," Ruby said. "Feel the energy with- in you and guide it to your left hand."
The room fell silent as Isumi closed her eyes. Moments passed before she felt a warmth spreading through her left hand. The sensation grew heavier until a faint red light began to glow. The glow intensified, filling the room with a radiant red light. The light compressed, taking the shape of a mechanical, dragon- like gauntlet covering her left hand.
Isumi opened her eyes and gasped. The gauntlet was regal, its claws sharp and its back adorned with a green- coloured orb that pulsed with energy.
"That…" Ruby's voice laced with surprise. "That's the boosted gear. One of the thirteen Longinus Sacred Gears."
Everyone in the room was stunned, except for Ren, who feigned shock, careful to mask his prior knowledge about Isumi's gear.
Ruby composed herself and nodded her head in appreciation.
The atmosphere in the room was thick with anticipation as Ruby's piercing blue eyes shifted toward Ren. Her regal demeanour remained intact, through her curiosity was apparent.
"Ren," she called, her voice calm yet commanding. "Now it's your turn. Come forward."
Rn. Maintaining his usual relaxed smile, rose from his seat. The soft rustle of his clothes was the only sound in the room as he stepped forward. Everyone's gaze followed him, including Isumi, who still had her newly- formed gauntlet shimmering faintly on her left hand. Ren approached Ruby, stopping at a respectful distance.
"Do the same as Isumi," Ruby instructed. Her expression was neutral, but there was a flicker of expectation in her eyes.
Ren nodded and stretched out his hand. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath and began to focus. Internally, however, he wasn't just following her instruction. He was communicating with the system.
"System, how do I manifest my sacred Gear?" he inquired within his mind.
[Host, to your partially activate your sacred Gear, you must channel your energy into your left hand. Dive into your consciousness, and you will find two orbs. Focus on the black orb and guide its energy to your hand.]
Ren followed the system's guidance. His mind sank deeper into his subconsciousness until he found himself in a vast, dark space. Before him floated two majestic orbs. One was Pure white, emanating a divine radiance, but it was bound in the heavy chains and adorned with intricate locks. The other was Pitch Black, pulsing with an ominous, unrestrained energy.
Confused, Ren asked the system, "Why is the white orb is bound by heavy chains?"
The system answered, [Host, the white orb represents the divine side of you sacred Gear. To unlock it, you will need to awaken your divine bloodline, which remains dormant.]
Ren's memory stirred as he recalled fragment of his worlds plot. He set his thoughts aside for now and focused on the Black orb.
"Alright," Ren said to himself, "Let's see what this can do."
With determination, he reached out to the black orb. Its energy surged toward him like a tidal wave, overwhelming and primal. He gritted his teeth, enduring the weight as the energy coursed through him. His left hand began to tingle, then burn, as heavy sensation took hold. In the physical world, his hand started to glow faintly with alternating waves of black and red light.
Everyone one in the room watched in awe as the glow intensified. Ruby's eyes narrowed in concentration as she observed the energy radiating from Ren's hand. Akeo usual smile faltered slightly, replaced with a look of intrigue. Even Valoris, typically composed, stood up from his seat to get a better view. Isumi, standing nearby, felt the sheer power emanating from Ren and instinctively took a step back.
The light around Ren's hand brightened, and then the black energy began to solidify. It formed a bulky, regal, mechanical gauntlet that enveloped his left arm. The design was awe- inspiring- dark, sharp edges interlaced with elegant pattern that exuded authority. A large, blood- red orb pulsed at the back of the gauntlet, radiating power of darkness like a heartbeat.
Ren open his eyes, staring at his hand in astonishment. The weight of the gauntlet was tangible, and its power surged through him like a living entity.
[congratulation Host, you have successfully manifested the demonic side of your Sacred Gear.]
Before Ren could respond internally, Ruby's voice broke the silence. "This energy… its demonic. But it's … very purer." Her tone was laced with curiosity and a hint of unease.
The room grew still as Ruby stepped closer to examine the gauntlet. Without hesitation, she leaned in, her face few inches away from Ren's hands. Her crimson hair swayed slightly as she moved, and Ren couldn't help but notice how close she was – practically brushing against him. He held his breath, trying to maintain his composure.
Ruby traced the lines of the gauntlet with her fingers, her blue eyes scanning every detail. The energy it emitted was unlike anything she had encountered before. Finally, she looked up, meeting Ren's gaze.
"This sacred Gear… I've never seen anything like it," she admitted, her voice carrying a rare note of uncertainty. "It's not recorded in any of our texts."
Ren's calm demeanour masked the storm of thought running through his mind he acted surprised, nodding as if he were just as clueless. "I – I don't know either," he stammered, playing along.
The tension was broken when the gauntlet to dissolve. Black particles rose from Ren's hand, disappearing into the air and returning to his body. As the gauntlet vanished, the room returned to its usual lighting, through the lingering energy made everyone feel as if they were standing in the presence of something ancient and powerful.
Ruby stepped back; her expression thoughtful. "I need to research this further," she said, more to herself than to anyone else. She glanced at Akira. "Perhaps we should consult the archivers."
Akira nodded, her smile returning. "Of Course, President."
Isumi, still standing nearby, stared at Ren in disbelief. She felt a strange pull toward him – he looks more handsome and charming now she thinks. Shaking her head, she tried to refocus her thought.
The room's atmosphere shifted as Ruby stepped forward, her commanding presence drawing everyone's attention. Her crimson hair flowed elegantly as she looks at Isumi and Ren with an encouraging smile.
"Although, as a Devil. both, you were reborn as a Devil of mine… Ruby Crimson's servant. As my servant Devil."
With a sharp PA! the sound of something breaking through the air echoed in the room.
At that moment, wings sprout from the backs of everyone. They're different from the black wings of Fallen Angels, what Ren and Isumi saw their wings are like bat wings.
"Now, it's your turn," Ruby said. "Focus your energy on your back and let your wings manifest. You are Devils [Demon] now, and you also think like that your wings are symbol of that."
Isumi looked unsure but followed Ruby's instruction, closing her eyes and concentrating on hr back. Slowly, a faint black glow began to emerge from behind her. With a sudden burst of energy, a pair of bats- like wings sprouted. she gasped in shock, turning her heads to see the majestic black wings protruding from her back.
"Th- These are my wings?" Isumi whispered, her voice filled with disbelief.
'Yes, this is your wings.' Ruby said with smile.
Then, Ren also opened his devil- wing, his wing is more- darker then compared to another member of club expect Ruby. when Ruby looked his wing narrowed her eyes like she examines something. But her concentration break by Ren's exiting voice, "Cool, now I am able to fly in sky." His expression shifted from awe as he admired the wings. "They're incredible," Ren said, flexing them experimentally.
"Yes, your wing suits you perfectly," Ruby remarked, her voice filled with approval.
Isumi and Ren exchange looks, their disbelief gradually replaced by a sense of pride. However, Isumi's gaze lingered on her wings, her wings, her shock evident. It was clear she still couldn't fully process the transformation.
"Now that you've manifest your wings and sacred gears, let me introduced to everyone again," Ruby announced. She gestured toward a handsome young man with golden hair and a refined smile.
"Valoris," she said and he stepped forward gracefully.
"My name is Valoris," he began, his voice smooth and polite. "As you already know, I am a second- Year student like both of you, and I am also Devil. Nice to meet you."
Ren nodded, nothing Valoris's polite demeanour.
Next, a petite girl with white hair and a stoic expression took a step forward.
"… First Year… Kaira Toujou. Pleased to make your acquaintance… I am a Devil too," she said quietly, boing her head slightly.
Ren felt a chill from her calm demeanour, but he offered her a friendly smile.
The next to step forward was a tall, beautiful woman with a long hair and an elegant aura.
"My name is Akira Katsuragi," she said with a soft, melodic voice. "I am in my third- year student and serve as the vice-president of this Crimson Research Club. Nice to meet you. Even though I am like this, I am also a Devil. Ufufu."
She bowed politely, her tone light and teasing, which made Ren chuckled nervously.
Finally, Ruby herself stepped forward, commanding attention with her mere presence.
"And I'm their master," she began, her crimson hair swaying as she spoke with pride, "As well as being a Devil from the House of Crimson, Ruby Crimson. My house holds the rank of a Duke in underworld and one of four strongest families in the underworld. Let's get along from now Isumi and Ren."
Her words resonated in the room, and both Rena nd Isumi nodded earnestly. The weight of their new reality was becoming clearer, yet they couldn't deny the sense of belonging they felt among this group.
As Ren flexed his wings again, he couldn't help but grin. "Well, this is going to take some getting used to, but I think I am starting to like it."
Isumi gave a small smile, still adjusting to her transformation but feeling reassured by Ruby's guidance.
Ruby watched both of them, her expression softening. "You'll both grow into your roles as Devils under my care. For now, focus on learning to control your powers and your wings. Ther's much to do, and I'll ensure you're ready for whatever challenged lie ahead."
With that, the night's training came to an end, but it marked the beginning of a new chapter for Rena nd Isumi. They were no longer just an ordinary students or human – they were Devils, servant of Ruby Crimson, and part of a family that promised to stand by them through whatever lay ahead
