[Next Day.]
BOOOOM!!!
Sunny blinked, the sound of an explosion echoing through the air as he stared at the pillar of energy surrounding Ellen. He had spent the entire night watching over her, forgoing sleep as he waited for this moment. Now, she had finally broken through, and stepped into the celestial rank.
"Who would believe a 12-year-old could reach such a rank?" he muttered to himself, slowly getting to his feet. A sense of pride swelled in his chest, quickly followed by a rush of concern:
"I should stop her. If not, her body won't be able to withstand the powers of the Divine rank. She needs to stabilize her current powers first."
He vanished from the tree branch, reappearing before Ellen, right at the edge of her pulsating energy. He pointed a finger at her, sending a gentle wave of spirit energy toward the barrier. The familiar energy passed through it with ease, lightly entering Ellen's forehead.
"Wake up, dear. You can stop now."
