It hurt, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt, it hurt.
Her chest felt like someone was stepping on it and they tried to dig something from within as if someone was trashing on its way toward the deepest part of herself and wanted to rip apart something away.
In a nutshell? It hurt.
It didn't hurt enough to make her cry, it didn't h...

It hadn't become easier, she wasn't sure what it was, but the [Mana] in the air wanted to rush inside her and [Turn] her different, it was the concerted effort of her [Heart] that kept it away and made sure she was [Clean].
But it wouldn't work for long, as she kept moving around searching for the [Core], more and more students started to eye her suspiciously. It was quite weird to be honest, since those girls stared at her with a frown on their face, it would be a grim sig...

"I told you that we needed to tell Elizabeth that he no longer had those skills..." Her hubby grumbled at the side. It wasn't her [Whole] hubby, of course, most of him was busy holding together the world or whatever. But it was a very [BIG] part of him.
"I mean, she was going to deal with him anyway, and how was I supposed to know that the [Fragment] I left in Aetheria had met him?" She answered with a frown, today her hair was long and silky with the smell of a thousand co...

AUTHOR NOTE!
Hate when I need to put one of these here, but I did leave myself a note for it, so CURSE YOU PAST ME!
Anyway...Here it is, I wrote it god knows when but:
Trigger warning, we find out the opinion of Akira on women and what he does with those he mentally enslaves, if you don't want his opinions shoved your way you may want to skip any paragraph with the words [FEMALE] on them.
You have been warned, there is self-deprecation, identity negation,...

Now that she had seen Akira's [Origin] for what it was, she was at the very least more comfortable with her next step, granted she hadn't been sure it would show like that. So far, she knew that [Origins] weren't exactly a known science for her.
Hell, she didn't understand half of what her own [Origin] had shown to her, but Akira's Origin?
Yeah, that couldn't be read any other way but the obvious one, he was [The Depraved Tyrant], there weren't many ways ...

"[The Warden of Justice] B-Tier vs [The Stardust Weaver] C-Tier," Agatha stated as a few gasps could be heard from the students on the stands. Some from amusement and others from gasps of horror. "Please withhold the rules as stated in class, and from the rules brought up on the board if you need a reminder."
Agatha then pointed with her hand to the billboard that showed the fighters, only this time also showed their [Shift] identity and the rules again. Neither Akira nor E...

Okay first of all, next month you will get Rhapsody release, tentative date is May 7. So for that one I'm writting the interlude of Alexa and Alexanders as a way to close their story. So...Why does this matter?
Do you want a very long interlude (Basically I will write for as long as it needs for me to finish all...Even if it goes way beyond my usual word count per chapter)
Do you want as many interludes as this creates.

The [Enemy] in front of her was on the floor, his body was covered in wounds and bleeding all over. Blood tainted the floor here and there, but she could see the light of a fighter in her enemy's eyes.
She could...she could....she could what?
A light headache suddenly hit her and she fought the groan that wanted to escape her mouth, she couldn't do that. No, AKIRA didn't like it when she groaned in pain.

"The rules are as stated." Agatha's voice sounded from the podium at the top of the stage. She didn't sound troubled or anything, but she couldn't help herself but have her eyes wander towards her.
Elizabeth wasn't sure at what point had it become obvious that she was planning on pounding Akira's skull against the arena floor. Or if it was something that everyone spoke and guessed on their own.
Well, almost everyone.

The ambient got somewhat awkward after their latest heart-to-heart.
Mostly because Rossie wasn't fully convinced about her self-proclaimed status as a [Villainess], wasn't sending an [Assassin] to her parents-in-law's house enough to qualify as one?
It seemed that the pink-haired girl only thought about her actions as something light in question of how much one would go beyond what was normal. That brought some questions to Elizabeth about what kind of life was Rossie used to.

After making sure everything was in order Elizabeth relinquished the effect her [Skill] had over her own body and over Rossie's body.
Now that she knew how she would move forward the only question was, how much could she improve before the exhibition match started, she would need to get some experience. The question now was...how?
She hadn't gotten that much nowadays, so maybe she could try and fight?

She found it incredibly cute how Rossie wasn't speaking and just was staring at the ring made of shadows that rested on her finger. It was almost as if the pink-haired girl had broken a circuit and wasn't even aware of how to breathe.
Actually, Elizabeth could feel waves of healing mana going around her girlfriend's lungs, so maybe she indeed wasn't even breathing at the moment. That was concerning.
"Rossie?" So Elizabeth prodded at her arm to make sure she was fine. "Are you okay...

"For starters, you need to know that Akira is more powerful than he should be." Rossie started saying as she summoned a blue screen.
It was one of Akira, except...it seemed outdated, the level was different and the skills weren't of the same level. Some were missing even.
"This is what I got when I used [Identify] on him after the fight." Rossie pointed to the information on the blue screen. Then she summoned another blue screen, this one had the same information she had collected...

The answer arrived half an hour later, she was getting angsty and was thinking about teleporting to the surrounding area, she half expected her [Minions] to have already scouted the area and marked a spot for her to arrive, to be honest.

The projection froze with the image of Rossie's now normal shift with Agatha shielding students and Rena's glare while hovering above Akira. Most of the students behind them had grabbed their weapons of choice or were about to discharge their [Skills].

She was getting tired, the mana was running rampant and it seemed to want to finalize the connection to...something. She wasn't sure what it was that her mana wanted to connect, but it made her recoil from how [Filthy] it felt.

They ended up walking around for a few blocks before [Frank the Beetle] found them a comfortable alley to stop by, he emptied a cylinder full of decomposing biomass and put it near her, then did the same with a bigger one and sat himself on it.

Elizabeth had been waiting for any response from Michael, looking at him calmly. Totally not glaring at him or any of the students that were in the arena with a thousand dragon eyes.

She hadn't found anything of use from that meeting, besides finding out that Agatha seemed to be more helpful than she had thought, also less judgmental than she expected.
After what happened in the schoolyard she half expected to want to murder the woman, but instead, she was quite...conflicted by how she reacted. Not so much for the fact that she was judging her relationship with Rossie.
