SUCCESS.
The Trial Board pulsed, the words TASK COMPLETE blazing across the air.
Kota's armor sealed tighter, the obsidian scales hardening, his blade erupting with new runes, glowing with power.
A sigil burned onto his sternum, a searing mark of victory, his shield flaring with a second layer of defense.
Miki collapsed sideways, her laughter mingling with sobs, her sun-tanned skin glistening, her harness still strapped to her hips.
Reina pulled free, standing with a cool, proud smirk, her violet eyes locked on the board, ready for the next challenge.
Aika lay panting, drenched in sweat and her own release, her body flushed from chest to cheeks, her glasses fogged.
But she smiled—a rare, genuine curve of her lips, her eyes meeting Kota's with a flicker of gratitude.
She'd bought them time.
She'd saved his life.
