Chapter 10: The truth about Shouta.<br />
<br />
As Jin and Hanako are struggling to get out of Oujou’s “dark barrier”, the numbers continue to shorten their time.<br />
4 minutes left…<br />
At first, only tiny drops of blood come out of their bodies, but now it’s getting serious,<br />
Jin: Hanako, it’s the same as that night. The feeling that my blood is coming out is now a reality! Will we survive?<br />
Hanako: Don’t lose hope, Jin. We’ll make it somehow.<br />
Hanako uses any possible technique that can get them out, but nothing works.<br />
2 minutes left…<br />
Suddenly, the time on the barrier slows down.<br />
Jin: What happened?<br />
Hanako: It can’t be! It’s Shouta’s technique.<br />
Jin: Really? Although he’s my sensei, I’ve never actually seen his abilities. <br />
Hanako: I’ll explain later, now we have to get out of here. There’s 1 minute and 30 seconds left. We’re almost out of blood.<br />
Outside of the barrier, Shouta is trying to do some kind of spell. He’s mixing up strange ingredients, and saying words in another language. When he finishes, he goes close the barrier and spills the potion he just mixed all over the barrier. The barrier starts to collapse, and in 5 seconds it disappears. All that’s left is Jin and Hanako and their blood floating in the air. The blood starts to come back to their bodies and everything will be fine soon.<br />
Jin: Shouta, what did you do?<br />
Shouta: Just a little magic.<br />
Jin: Come on, tell me!<br />
Hanako: Ok, I’ll explain it to you if mister Magic man doesn’t. (en xd)<br />
Shouta: I heard that!<br />
Hanako: In the past, Shouta used to be A Chosen One too. However, when his body was about to die and wizards tried to transfer another soul into it, there was a young and inexperienced wizard. Despite that, he was allowed to use magic and soul transferring jutsus at that young age. But, that wasn&#039;t enough and during the soul transferring rite, a little mistake was fatal. Shouta&#039;s soul and the young wizard&#039;s soul reversed their bodies. In other circumstances, that wouldn&#039;t be fatal, the Chosen&#039;s body would continue to live, but the young wizard&#039;s soul and mind weren&#039;t strong enough and he didn&#039;t have enough strength to keep on living. That&#039;s why the body of the 9th Chosen died and so did the soul of this young wizard. Nevertheless, now, in his body is Shouta&#039;s soul and because of that Shouta can use both magic and jutsus, although his magical skills are still not quite good.<br />
Jin: Well if your magic skills aren’t that good, how did you do that spell? It was one of the strongest I’ve ever seen.<br />
Shouta: My parents taught me that spell when I was little. I only use it in critical conditions, like this one.<br />
Jin: Well anyways, where did those two evil guys go? Hanako, you sounded like you knew one of them. He said something about sealing into a wall. What did he meant by that?<br />
Hanako: Yes, that’s true. Guess I have to explain that too.<br />
