Cid - Gets up after giant explosion hits him

She can feel her magic starting to run wild.

It hurts.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!”

Golden particles swallow her surroundings, then explode.

The black-haired boy gets caught in the blast and goes flying.

“Ah… Ahhh…”

By the time her magic finally settles down, everything in a dome around her is destroyed.

Rubble lies piled high around her, and she can see the stars through the newly formed hole above.

The black-haired boy is nowhere to be seen.

Akane stands there petrified.

Yet despite the profound sorrow in her heart, she can’t get her expression to change. That fact hurts, too.

Then, she hears something behind her.

She turns and sees a man in a black longcoat standing atop the towering debris.

It’s the Black Knight.
