Chapter 5 The past and The reason of Powers 2

Dr. Jinah predicted that RYU luck would save him no matter what happened to him that's why she remained calm when she heard the report from the ARK that came back the moment he left,

"After the Tragedy of Binding, humanity suffered a great blow to their forces, and only thirteen MANTISes remained alive. With this in mind, Elysia decided to unite the remaining soldiers and make them a beacon of hope for humanity - thus, creating the Flame-Chasers group."

"Flame-Chasers

Elysia united the Fourteen surviving MANTIS (herself,Ryu, Kevin, Aponia, Eden, Vill-V, Kalpas, Su, Sakura, Kosma, Mobius, Griseo, Hua and Pardofelis) and made a pitch for the MOTHs for the creating of the Flame-Chasers group. The pitch was denied, however, saying that the group was composed of too many unstable and unpredictable people - "over half the members are not fit to be heroes." A counter-proposal was made, which would only accept Six out of the Fourteen as the Flame-Chasers group (Elysia, Ryu, Kevin, Hua, Su and Vill-V), but Elysia rejected it on the basis that she would go with everyone or no one. As such, the Flame-Chasers proposal was ultimately rejected, and the group was never formally recognized by the MOTHs."

"That didn't stop Elysia into making the actual group a reality. With the help of Dr.Jinah, Eden and Mobius, they made the Golden Courtyard into the Elysian Realm, where the members would store their memories and feelings for all eternity as pieces of data. She made a rank for everyone in the group - at first, Elysia tried to make herself the leader and first ranked, but ultimately decided that would be a better position for Ryu but his status was currently unkown and choose Kevin, the Hero of Humanity, and made herself as the second-ranked in the end."

"The Flame-Chasers didn't have much opportunities to work together, however, and ended up never fully doing so. As the next Herrscher rose, the Herrscher of Corruption, Sakura ended up being killed, and the last three cities in the planet were nuked by the rogue Herrscher, with the tower they were standing in being the last place with humans alive. Seeing as the morale of the whole group reached an all-time low, Elysia decided that the "leading actress should play the charming villain for a change". She organized a banquet, on which she revealed her identity as the 13th Herrscher to those present - the Herrscher of Origin, as well as the Herrscher of Human. Some of her friends, like Dr. Jinah, Aponia, and Eden, had already known or were not surprised about the revelation. In her last moments, Elysia asked to those present if she managed to have, finally, become human, and not just a Herrscher, Surprisingly RYU came back and said "That there's no doubt about her that."

Elysia smile widely and said. "Ahh~ You're unfair for coming back at my dying moments~"

RYU didn't said anything and just continue watching Elysia together with the everyone. Even losing her life it didn't change the fact that she remained beautiful just like a flower.

After All She is, Elysia the second strongest Flame-Chaser, and the very creator of Flame-Chaser. She was a member of the MOTHs and a very present figure in the Previous Era, helping humanity to fight Herrschers and the Honkai until the bitter end. In the Current Era, Elysia's simulation is responsible for managing the Elysian Realm.

After Elysia Death, RYU sneakily asked Dr. Mei to put every data inside the Black Box including the information of the fight between the Herrscher and Humanity adding a simulation inside it, Dr. Mei, didn't understand the reason he was asking her to do that but still agree till the end. RYU got Elysia core and slowly transformed it into his very own turning him into the Herrscher of Progressions. RYU fell his gazed at Dr.Jinah touching her stomach before he flied to the Moon.

The Flame Chasers got alerted by the sudden appearance of the RYU the new 13th Herrscher. He teleported the flame chasers into the Hibernation pod and fought the 14th Herrscher that was staying in the Moon.

Unexpectedly, Dr.Jinah was pregnant with RYU child but with the current destruction happening within the planet they decide to put Dr. Jinah into hibernation pod protecting her from any harm. And Dr. Mei created a Baby using her and Kevin genetics but she didn't have a time to say goodbye to Kevin due to the Honkai Corruption infecting her but still managed to write her will on the paper that she put at the Hibernation Capsule of their Son.

RYU won the battle between final Herrscher and him. But he paid a large price changing the properties of Elysia Herrscher core, His very own existence starts crumbling using his remaining strength he transfer his core to Dr.Jinah body and the Final Herrscher into his daughter.

"The end," Han-Seol Ha said watching Jinah and Jinwoo expression of surprised and realization.

"Does that mean, I got my power from the other version of myself?" Jinwoo asked.

"In a sense yes, and No." Seol Ha said looking at Jinwoo. "Mom- I mean Dr.Jinah created this very own verse using the Herrscher Core of Progression and planted the soul of many people that died during that war and without caring if they would awakened their power or not and it's also impossible for them to awakened their memories."

"The one who created you're Player System was uncle Jinwoo and Mom is reincarnated as Miss Jinah." Seol Ha said and slowly closing her eyes, she looked at the siblings and said. "Times up, I would love to tell about more infor about papa . But I would forget everything and would start from the very beginning, and you better remember this Mom, Papa would attract a lot of woman that's why you should take care of him."

After saying that she lost her consciousness but before she falls down Jinwoo catch her.

'You don't need to say that,' Jinah thought remembering how popular Ryu at school.

Meanwhile inside the Black Box.

Everyone watch the record about the past era can't utter a single word from the information they got.

"So~ Even their Sakura, had fox ears," Ryu said. with a sagely nod.

"_"

"Don't look at me like that. Look even Kallen was interested on it," Ryu said pointing at Kallen who's touching Sakura fox ears.

"It's soft," Kallen said with her innocent smile.

"We need to find a way to get out of this black box." Ryu said while looking at RIN and Rin who's talking with each other about their sisters. "RIN, Do you know the way out?"

"umu, I know, but with the current Honkai energy. it's almost impossible to get out of this place." RIN said and starts thinking ways to gather a large amount of Honkai energy. "The problem is the current era has a small amount of Honkai energy."

"I see, Can we try the Simulation of the Honkai beast of past era?" Ryu asked wanting to know how strong the Honkai beast of past era compared to the one he fought.

RIN nod her head and a Giant white monster was created out of nowhere. It's holding a giant white shield with a giant white spear.

"_"

noticing their gazed at her Rin immediately said. "Don't look at me like that, That's a templar Class the third strongest class of Honkai beast."

The templar-class didn't wait for them to prepare and aimed it's spear at them.

Ryu immediately used his palm and parry it's spear hitting the floor next to him. Kallen used her gun and Sakura used her sword.

"I'm lucky that I'm wearing my gloves," Ryu said looking at his hands that got numb.

"How did you do that?" Kallen asked kicking the Templar making it move a small distance.

"I don't know. I just feel like, I can do it." Ryu said punching the Templar within it's back.

"Your punch is strong," Sakura said using her swordsmanship at the Templar.

Even with they're barrage the Templar didn't have a single scratch from its body. But with Ryu ability, He can see that the damage he implicated with the others was small.

"It's much tougher than I thought!... How did Kevin killed a single one with a baseball bath when at that time he's just a student!" Ryu shouted in frustration.

"Something is wrong! That's not a simulation anymore, it suddenly turned into a true Templar." RIN shouted in the sidelines.

"What! but how?" Ryu got taken a back from the information he got from RIN.

"I don't how. But the moment it made contact with Ryu-nii, it's program suddenly had gone missing," RIN shouted.

"Nee-chan, would defeat it," Rin said giving a bright smile at RIN.

"I know," RIN said with a wry smile remembering that she has a blind faith at her sister too.

"Do you know the program they're talking about?" Kallen asked Sakura while shooting the Templar.

"I don't know," Sakura answered. "But let's watch Ryu fight it."

'Sigh, is this the time I would use the Martial Arts that my cousin taught me?' Ryu thought knowing fully well that his martial arts was the great counter against the Templar or any giant Honkai Beast. 'If only I can find a blind spot and throw my Blade of Taixuan, wait I can wield that sword right? I have to try doing that.'

Ryu materialize a sword using the Blade of Taixuan technique and swing it down at the Templar but it use its own shield deflecting Ryu attack and slam it's spear at him.

Ryu throw the sword up to the sky and used his martial arts to deflect the spear.

<A skill has been created through special action>

<The skill "Hand-to-hand Combat" Has been created.>

<A skill has been created through special action>

<The skill "Aikido" Has been created.>

<A skill has been created through special action>

<The skill "Jujitsu" Has been created.>

"I know it, the skill I have when I don't have the Gamer abilities was not listed," Ryu thought combining Aikido and Jujitsu deflecting the Templar spear.

Ryu used Aiki to control the air around him, creating a sphere around him that deflects attacks. Upon closing up to the Templar, he emits all his strength into one spot resulting huge whirlwind hitting the Templar destroying it's shield and using that chance to control the sword that ups in the air and throwing it to the Templar.

(Ryu POV)

I immediately click the Yes without any single regret.

Hmm...There's no change in my body?

"Wow, those moves was so cool!" Kallen chipped with a stars on her eye's and Holding my hands and said. "You have to teach me those moves!"

"Sure," I answered knowing that my cousin would be delighted knowing the fact that, I use the martial arts that she taught me. After all, I only master that technique at the age of six now that my physique change due to abandoning my exercise, I lost my strength and now I don't have a strength to use it again, I'm just like a balloon that was full of air and one mistake i would blow up.

Suddenly my whole body starts shaking when I starts contemplating about my Martial arts and I didn't notice that there's a tears on my eyes.

Now that I remember it. I abandoned my Martial arts when I failed to protect my sister due to lack of experience. Because my Uncle decide to kill my Mother and Father for the gene's flowing through our blood.

my true name is Yozakura Ryu, from The Yozakura family, a well known family that traces it's roots back to the ninja of the Edo period and is well-known for producing various people with superhuman abilities.

However, in each and every generation, one person is born ordinary but is also the only one whose offspring will inherit the superhuman abilities of the family. But at my mother generation there's two girls that born as an ordinary individual.

Because of this, the ordinary child is considered the lifeline of the family and is traditionally named the head of the family, with the rest of the family dedicating their strength and talent in order to defend them.

The head of the current [10th] generation is Mutsumi Yozakura, my cousin even though the Yozakura family isn't entirely moral due to their various actions in the underworld, it does have one iron-clad rule: No killing among the family.

All members of the Yozakura family have double-banded cherry blossom rings. Once a Yozakura family member gives the other half of their ring to another person, that person becomes a part of the family.

In the past Mutsumi father killed his wife including my Mother and Father, leaving Me and my sister defenseless against the terrorist and government thanks to the blood flowing through my body.

I look at the fake stars in the sky inside the block box while covering my eyes with my shoulder.

At that time I don't have a time to grief at my parents death because a bunch of terrorist was after me and sister head.

I always use my Martial arts, to protect my sister. To the point of not having enough sleep. But the moment we ride a yacht to continue our exploration finding a safe place to hide from the government.

I failed to check if they put a bomb at my boat, the moment it explode, it cause my sister to to lost her and only leaving me a lot of damages to my body including losing my memory.

What's the reason I practice this strength when I can't even protect her?

What's the point of becoming a gold rank spy when I can't give her a Normal life?

My cousin manage to protect their sister Mutsumi. But I didn't. I have the same strength as big brother but I failed.

The reason I hate my Martial arts was because i continue having those thoughts. In the past, I don't know the reason why, I have those thoughts and when I told it to my adopted mother she immediately send me to a psychiatrist to get check my mental health which is effective. Because I'm not getting stressed by having those thoughts and slowly recover my memory.

I should visit Japan later and meet my cousins, knowing how my Uncle love his family I need an answer why Uncle did that to his wife and my Family. if he didn't gave me a proper explanation, I would kill him.

Being a Yozakura is hard. But with the Gamers body. I wouldn't receive any single internal damage and go through the Hard training and body strengthening.

After all. i got slam into the ground for a lot of times from a single attack of Honkai Beast. But there's no single scratch and broken bones instead, I can only see my HP going down.

Oh, all of my stats didn't turned into 1, instead it turned back into 5,000. I'm lucky getting the Blade of Taixuan. I need to master this technique.

"Did you calm down." Kallen said while hugging me.

Since when this girl starts hugging me?

"I am," I said with a smile, probably thanks to the gamers mind.

"Did you finally solve your problem with your Martial Arts?" Sakura asked Ryu with a gentle smile.

"So you noticed, as expected of a Martial arts master like you, " Ryu said with a sarcastic tone but laugh in the end.

"I noticed it on how you walk and how balance your body movement is." Sakura said without caring his sarcasm.

"I just need to calm my mind," Ryu said while looking away. "By the way how did you change the scenery?"

"It's one of the features of the Black Box," RIN said.

"I see," Ryu said and picking up the item drop with the skill book.

<You've obtained the skill book [Thrust]>

<Would you like to learn the skill?>

Ryu click yes and the skill book vanish within the thin air.

"Are you planning to let me go now?" Ryu asked Kallen who's riding his back.

"No," Kallen said and continue riding behind his back just like a kid and thought. 'He smells nice. I wonder what type of soap he was using?'

"Dinner is ready!" Sakura shouted gathering the attention of the two. "You look like a father and daughter playing with each other, now go down from his back Kallen we need to eat,"

Kallen nod her head and immediately arrived at her natural seat and starts devouring the food.

"_"

Rin and RIN was speechlessly watching Kallen devouring all of the food.

"If you don't eat your food immediately, Kallen might eat it," Ryu said giving the two a sweet smile.

"Ryu-nii, I hope you cook next time" RIN said.

"Sure," Ryu said agreeing at RIN and wonder if his Sister was alive she might act like her.
