After the bright light subsided we see Cinder and Essence starting at a panel. "Class acquired thermomancy." Essence asked, "is that even a word?" Robin responded "indeed, I derived it from your thought." "I see. so, what does it do? summon thermometers?" Essence looked them with a smug look waiting for a laugh. Robin called his sense of humour crude and Cinder forced out a smile. he was left disappointed but continued "but jokes aside, what does it do? I hope it doesn't just tell my temperature. we need something that helps us fight." Robin answers " It's a pretty useful for you and something I specifically choose for your friend here." Essence asked Cinder to check if he has any new skills. Cinder opened his system panel to check. There were 2. First one being 'Call: A voice command to a tamed pet return to the owner.' and the Second one 'Heat manipulation: Uses Mana to control and change the target's temperature.' Essence and Cinder jumped in excitement after seeing the skill. Essence then pointed at a broken fire hydrant and asked Cinder "YOO BOIL THE WATER OVER THERE!" Cinder questioned "But how though?" Robin responded, " Just imagine yourself trying to boil the water with your Mana." Essence rephrased the words to "Just hold your hand up and imagine making the water hot" "How the fu-" Essence cut off Cinder to speak "JUST! try it." Cinder pointed at the water and shouted "BOIL!" They both waited with shining eyes. Nothing happened for a while. Then a system panel popped up. 'User out of mana please wait till mana recovers" they both looked dumbfounded. Essence looked at Cinder to ask something but before he could, Cinder falls down with a thud. Essence ran up to him and tried to wake him up. Cinder Eyes gently closed. He fell unconscious. Rocky Loudly barked at Essence and tried to bite him. He swatted Rocky away with just a light hit and picked up Cinder. He made him lay down on Rocky's back and took him back to his place.
Cinder opens his Eyes and hears Rocky barking and another loud and irritating noise. it made him wish he couldn't hear. He gets up from the rough made bed like Cot and walks up to see Rocky Fighting with a Big Parrot. Essence and a few of his friends are standing beside them laughing. Cinder whistles loud. A panel pops up 'User has used the Skill: Call' Rocky runs to Cinder and stands behind and licks his face, as if to ask if he was ok. Essence walks up to Cinder and speaks "how was your 7-hour long sleep? didn't think you'd ever wake up." Cinder responds in a soft voice "The first thing I hear after I wake up is this. Give me a break." Then Rocky starts to bark as Bronzy again. Cinder Pats Rocky on the head which calms it down. Herb speaks up "Don't you leash for that thing?" To which Cinder responds, "His name's Rocky." He stands up and raises his hand up for a handshake. "I'm Cinder nice to meet you." "My pleasure, I'm Herb." After the shortest handshake in human history, he looks back at Rintaro and also puts his hand ahead " Should I introduce myself again?" Rintaro replies, "No need." and holds his hand in a strong grip "I'm Savatar the shadowless" Everyone else looks at him and starts laughing. They catch up on jokes and bond. Rocky and Bronzy still on bad terms.
We see Sutairu walk slowly towards a church. He is carrying a crowbar stained with blood. He puts it down beside him and prays to the Almighty. "Forgive me Lord. I have sinned. I don't deserve to live. I waste the gift of life and take part in involuntary bloodshed. My peers have come together, and they wish to bring peace to this world. I will follow them as they say Only, I can do it." just then an unkindness of ravens started to croak loudly. A slightly bigger one broke a window of the church. It landed on the left side of the cross, and the rest followed it in. They circled around Sutairu. He was unbothered. He continued "If I stopped following your will at any moment! I hope I would be forgiven for being a youngling. Amen!" He slowly rested his hands down and stared right at the Alpha. One of the small ones launched itself right at Sutairu. He grabbed it effortlessly with a single hand. it cried out loud in his hands. bringing his hands together, Sutairu gouged his fingers right in neck of the small bird, with no remorse he pulled out the head from the body. It angered the alpha raven, and it crocked right at him. Sutairu calm as ever kicked the crowbar up, grabbed it mid-air and hit it the approaching Alpha raven. After a while he walks out with the wings of the alpha raven. "May God bring you peace" his words spoken to every life he will take
We come back to Cinder and Essence. They are slowly walking towards something. Cinder asks "where are you taking me? I hope you know I don't swing that way." Essence lightly hits Cinder on the back and answers "Dirty minded freak ew for real." Cinder holds the place where Essence hit. Essence "We finished up the base. it's quite safe there. But the threat still looms above us, literary and figuratively. We can't match its strength by growing that fast but maybe by number." Cinder questions "Where are you going to find enough people?" "People? when did I say anything about people?" Essence replied in a clam voice. Cinder was stunned at the stupidity of Essence "You going to make the beasts fight each other? How exactly are you going to do that?" Essence let a silent but noticeable chuckle and stopped walking and pointed at the sign about them.
