Hello everyone, this is J. Van A with the fourth chapter this week of A BLZEing Remnant Year 2. Like I've said several times, I have a lot of spare time and having my own laptop has increased my own productivity.

Anyway, we get to a chapter I think you guys might like. It has fighting, drama, action, explosions, disarming, Blaise's corpse, some drama, the reason why Blaise went to Beacon, and more fighting.

You guys will either absolutely love this chapter or be angrily confused or more than likely both.

Kaimi, I do have a special message for specifically you at the end of this chapter

Enjoy,

After landing in the Paladin's medical facility, Kyle carried Blaise's body into the ten story tall building. Kyle then carried Baise's body to Doctor Kroger on the top floor, the facility's head doctor who handles surgery, medical research, and the cremation of dead bodies. Entering Kroger's office with Blaise now on a cart, Kyle saw the middle aged man with brown hair and a lab coat sitting in his office chair spinning in circles.

"Mr. River, I didn't expect to see you any time soon, or with a body," Kroger said then pushed his chair to roll up to Kyle and Blaise. "Did you do this? I didn't think any of your weapons could cause this."

"I didn't do this," Kyle said gesturing toward the gaping hole in Blaise's chest. "There was a grimm attack and he got caught in the middle of it."

"So why did you bring him here?"

"This is Blaise Campione," Kyle clarified causing Kroger to raise an eyebrow.

"Really, I watched this guy on tv a few days ago, and he was in Vale," Kroger said then pushed Blaise into his room. "Either way, just leave the body here and I'll get to it later. You might want to go clean up, you're kinda covered in blood."

"Thanks Doc," Kyle said exiting the room.

"No problem," Kroger said sliding across the room to his desk. He reached in and pulled out a pair of multiple lense glasses and put them on. Then he rolled over to Blaise and grabbed a pair of tweezers before looking into the wound. "Now, what happened to you?" Kroger asked Blaise as he began pulling little grimm spike parts from the wound before finding a large spike sticking into his chest. "Well that's interesting." He reached into the wound and grabbed the end of the spike with his fingers and with some jerking around he dislodged the piece and pulled the alabaster spike out. "Now that's interesting," he said looking into the wound.

After cleaning up and sending his clothes to the facility's cleaners, Kyle had looked at the time and decided it was time to go to bed since it was late. Heading up the stairs he passed by several members of the Paladins stationed there along with several doctors. Just before he made it to his team's assigned room, he caught up with Octavian.

"Hey," Octavian said opening the door to the room where Sharon and Rosa were sleeping. "So, what did Kroger say?"

"He said he'll deal with the body. And I brought Blaise's weapons down to R&D so they can look at them because R&D always gets the dead guy's stuff," Kyle said walking into the room and flopping down on the bed adding a tinge of annoyance for the last bit of his sentence. "We've wasted a whole lotta time, but I guess we can be back at the tournament tomorrow when the doubles round ends."

"So, I know you hated this guy, but why were you in such a rush to save him?" Octavian asked Kyle taking off his jacket.

"I needed him to know how his family ruined mine," Kyle said rolling away from Octavian. "But that doesn't matter now, does it?"

"I mean, at least you tried," Octavian suggested lying down on his bed. "You do know Blaise had siblings, right?"

"You mean his two brothers, they were both killed while working for the White Fang. So that'll do me a lot of good," Kyle said then groaned. "Look just go to bed. We're heading back in probably in the afternoon."

Skip to Eva's time

Eva had followed the trail of broken tree tops for a while until the person flying the airship became more cautious of their surroundings. Though every once in awhile there was a broken tree top and she changed course to follow it. Eventually she flew out of the forest and over the desert losing the trail. Deciding to keep her trail straight, Eva reduced her speed and only changed course to avoid rock formations, but otherwise staying straight.

It was only when Eva saw smoke rising in the distance, she increased her speed. Passing a tower of rock, she noticed in the distance was a ten story tall building with an airship dock, but on one side of the buildings was a giant hole where people seemed to be thrown out of.

Speeding to the hole, Eva could see a fight going on between one blur and a group of people. Then one of the people threw the blur out of the giant hole. The blur looked at Eva's ship and it landed on top for a second before using it as a base to jump back into the building and into the fight sending Eva's ship rocketing to the side.

Deciding it was best, Eva took control of the airship and landed it in the airfield. Then she grabbed her weapons and ran outside towards the building. When she looked at the top of the airship, Eva could clearly see the top of the airship had been burned leaving two steaming footprints on the roof.

Just a few hours beforehand

There was a loud boom that shook the building then red lights everywhere began lighting up and an alarm blared waking KROS up. Sharon immediately teleported from her bed to the corner of the room and tossed everyone's weapons to their respective owners. Then she teleported into the hallway and started to head over to the command center.

"Are we under attack?" Octavian asked pumping his shotgun then started to head to the door followed by the rest of his team.

"If it was just an explosion from R&D, then the alarms wouldn't be blaring," Kyle said drawing his golden longsword and pistol. "Rosa, we need you to fly around and find the reason behind this explosion."

"Already ahead of you," Rosa said jumping out of the building activating her backpack allowing for her to fly around. Then she turned on her earpiece. 'Can you guys hear me?' she asked them all through the earpiece.

"We can hear you," Octavian confirmed as both he and Kyle ran to the stairwell. "Kyle, I'll go down, you go up. Make sure the doctors are ok."

"Alright," Kyle said then sprinted up the stairs keeping his pistol aimed ahead of him. Entering the tenth floor, Kyle saw what appeared to be a person covered in a blur. Not taking any chances Kyle fired off two rounds at the blurred man.

The blur didn't even look at Kyle. It just raised its hand and the two bullets melted and disappeared. Then the blur simply placed its hand on a wall melting a hole big enough for it to walk through.

"What the fuck?" Kyle asked himself as the blur walked through the hole and disappeared. Then he ran down the hall to Doctor Kroger's office. Inside was Doctor Kroger sitting on his chair holding his left shoulder and the wall to the outside completely gone seemingly from an explosion. "Kroger, what happened?"

"Shit happened," Kroger said. "The specimen here woke up and ripped my goddamned arm off."

"Specimen? What specimen?" Kyle asked looking around the office for some bandages. "What the fuck happened here?"

"The specimen you left me. The dead grimm mutate," Kroger said as Kyle tossed him the bandages and began wrapping his arm. "You mean he wasn't brought here for research?"

"We brought him here to be cremated since he was dead," Kyle nearly shouted at Kroger.

"He had a giant hole in his chest, but there was some grimm debris in his chest," Kroger explained. "After removing the large grimm spikes that broke off in his chest, I saw that the smaller holes were healing even though he was dead. From what I found, one large spike had pierced the kid's heart effectively killing him and preventing it from beating."

"But that blur?"

"The kid was healing from after dead and even without aura. I thought you had brought him here for research. He was still living, but I thought you already knew that."

"So Blaise was still alive?"

"Yes and no. His heart wasn't beating and he showed no brain activity or aura signs at all, so he was dead in that sense, but something was causing him to heal. I took a sample of his blood and I found that there was a special kind of dust was bounded to his cells," Kroger explained finishing bandaging up his stump of an arm. "It took him the better part of the day, but the dust in his cells kick started his heart resurrecting him."

"And you never bothered to inform me about it?" Kyle asked him getting a bit agitated.

"I told you, I thought you knew."

"Just tell me what happened."

"I was just experimenting on him when he suddenly woke up. Then he asked me where he was and when I told him he snapped. He jumped off the table after burning through the restraints and attacked me. Then he caused a quick explosion destroying the wall. He then ripped my arm right out of the socket burning it right in front of my eyes. Then he left the room and you came in. That's all," Kroger explained. "Now, there is anesthetic in the cupboard. Can you get it for me, I kinda need a hand."

"If you're good enough to make puns, you can get it yourself," Kyle said drawing his shortsword and longsword leaving the room.

"Come on, I'm seriously in a lot of pain at the moment," Kroger pleaded grabbing Kyle's shirt and being pulled towards the door.

"You're right handed, you got this," Kyle said pushing the doctor away from him and entering the hallway. Kyle then looked at the hole in the wall and entered only to find a hole in the middle of the room. "So, I get to hunt a zombie. Great," he said jumping down the hole.

"Kyle, any idea what we're going against?" Sharon asked at the Paladin's control station where several guards were gathering weapons to prepare for the fight. "We're currently blind because this thing keeps destroying the cameras before we can get a clear picture."

'That thing is Blaise,' Kyle said over the com.

'Blaise? I thought he was, you know, dead,' Rosa said.

'Yeah, I thought he was dead,' Octavian said over the com.

'He was dead, but apparently he was dead, but he came back from the dead because of some reason,' Kyle explained.

"So, we're fighting against Blaise," Sharon guessed as all the guards in the room stopped what they were doing to listen in to them.

'No, we're fighting against a Blaise that seems to not be holding back at all. He melted a hole in a wall and created that explosion that woke us up. He even ripped Kroger's arm off,' Kyle explained to everyone causing them to slightly quiver in fear. 'He's finally decided to fight like Blood Moon.'

'Kyle, don't do anything stupid,' Octavian warned him. 'I'll come up and meet you before you take him on.'

'No you won't, your semblance protects you from taking hits, not elemental damage. Blaise could easily just burn you to death,' Kyle told him. 'Rosa, where is Blaise right now?'

'Give me a sec… he's on the sixth floor heading down nearing the R&D department,' Rosa said.

'Alright, I think I can get there faster if I use my semblance,' Kyle said causing the rest of his team to shudder for a second. Then there was a series of loud booms before they stopped.

"Did he just?" one of the guards asked before Sharon answered.

"Yes, he just made it to the fourth floor in less than three seconds," she answered with a wicked smirk on her face. "If the cameras don't die, then you guys will be seeing quite a show."

"Guys, I made it," Kyle said between breaths. "I think I made it before Blaise."

"What was that?" Blaise asked Kyle as he broke through the ceiling landing in the room.

At that moment Kyle could see what Blaise had turned into. His eyes were glowing red and black. His skin had turned pure white giving him the appearance of a corpse. The hole in his chest had healed leaving just a large scar, and the crescent scar on his chest was glowing black.

"So, you think you can beat me?" Blaise asked his voice deep and dark putting a tinge of fear in the back of Edward's head. "Tell me, who the fuck are you?"

"I'm the person who will kill you, you filthy beast," Kyle said pointing his longsword at Blaise causing him to laugh.

"And you just think that those pitiful blades can do anything to me? I don't even need to have my broadsword to kill you," Blaise said calmly walking towards Kyle generating his claws and coating his right hand in black flames and his left in white. "And you never really did answer my question."

"My name is Kyle River, and I am your doom!" Kyle shouted lunging at Blaise slashing in the air generating a golden beam of light that hit Blaise's chest.

Blaise slashed upwards with his claw cutting through the golden beam then lunged directly at Kyle. Kyle tried to slash directly at Blaise, but he grabbed the blade and melted through it. Blaise then knees kyle in the chest throwing him back into a wall on the other side of the room.

After Kyle landed back on the floor he looked at the bench and saw Blaise's broadsword. Deciding that it was most likely heat resistant, he grabbed it and jumped back into the fight.

"What's that?" Blaise asked looking at the broadsword dodging Kyle's several strikes. "It looks familiar."

"You seriously don't recognize your own weapon?" Kyle asked slashing upwards at Blaise only to have him dodge it again and again. "I mean, R&D did modify it a little, but it didn't seem to change that much."

"That's not my broadsword," Blaise said catching the broadsword and pried it from Kyle's hand before kicking him into a wall. "Why is it detached from the transform mech? And what is this?" He pressed a button on the crossguard splitting the sword in half. "That's new."

"What are you talking about? You made those detachable back at Beacon," Kyle said pulling out his tomahawk from his belt and ran back into the fight. He went for a downward strike with his tomahawk and an uppercut with his shortsword that Blaise easily blocked with his two swords.

"Beacon? I've never gone to Beacon," Blaise said raising an eyebrow. He coated his right sword with black flames and his left in white. Then she got into a battle stance reverse gripping his white blade behind him and keeping his black blade in front of him. "You know, you're pissing me off."

Running up to Kyle, Blaise planted one foot onto the ground and began to spin slashing in the air at Kyle. Kyle quickly blocked the black blade with his shortsword then hooked the other one with his tomahawk attempting to disarm Blaise to no avail. Blaise then spun again increasing the speed of his attacks barely giving him any time to block. Then Blaise landed again increasing his speed turning into a blur of black and white.

In one of Blaise's rotations, he looked to the counter of one R&D worker and saw a large railgun pistol. Thinking quickly, he threw his white blade at Kyle giving him barely enough time to react to block managing to disorient him. Then Blaise grabbed the pistol as his left hand passed it and started to raise it at Kyle.

"I don't think so," Kyle said slashing at Blaise's hand with his tomahawk.

For a single moment, Blaise had the large railgun pistol aimed at Kyle, but he couldn't pull the trigger. Then he noticed his hand was going a bit further than it should be. He just watched as his hand fell to the ground still holding the pistol, but no blood was coming from the wound.

Before Blaise could react, he felt a shotgun scattershot hit him in the back throwing him forward a few feet. Landing on the ground next to his broadsword's other half, he grabbed it and clicked the two ends together. Then coating the sword with black flames, Blaise stood up against the wall. Looking around, Blaise could see a bunsen burner connected to a gas line. Then with one slash, the flaming broadsword cut into the gas line igniting it creating an explosion right next to him blowing a giant hole in the side of the building. Mostly everyone had been thrown away from the explosion, but Blaise stabbed his broadsword into the ground preventing him from being thrown.

At that moment, Sharon had teleported into the room holding her staff with the catalyst aimed at Blaise. From behind him, Blaise could hear the sounds of an airship approaching from a distance. Then he jumped into the fray blocking Octavian's downward hammer strike letting his broadsword divert it to the side. Sharon was about to swing for his face, but before it connected she teleported above his head. Blaise tilted his head a few inches having the staff just miss him. Then he blocked Kyle's shortsword with his broadsword and when Kyle tried to attack Blaise with the tomahawk, Blaise raised his left arm having the tomahawk's blade stab into the stump head on.

At that close, Blaise focused his semblance and breathed a puff of black fire in Kyle's face distracting him enough to disarm the tomahawk from his hand. Then in one movement he headbutted Kyle throwing him off balance for a second. Following through with a tackle, when Blaise was close enough to the ground, he reached over and grabbed his hand that still held the railgun pistol. Then Blaise followed through by punching Kyle in the head cracking the floor form the impact.

Stabbing the greatsword into the ground, Blaise had enough time to put his other hand back on the stump managing to have it stay in place before Octavian hit Blaise in the chest throwing him out of the building towards and airship. After landing on the roof of the airship, Blaise activated his semblance just in time to create a barrier of heat to melt Rosa's sniper rifle bullet before it could hit him.

Then he jumped off of the airship launching his body directly into the building knocking the airship off course. Then as he entered the building, he grabbed his broadsword from the ground of the room and swung it directly at Octavian. Octavian smiled as his semblance absorbed the blow. Then he was about to deliver a downward blow to Blaise, but he raised his railgun pistol and fired off a round hitting the hammer head on throwing it back. Then Blaise coated his broadsword in flames again before slashing at Octavian having him absorb the blow, but the fire doing a great deal of damage to his aura.

Sharon appeared in front of Blaise about to hit him with an electrifying catalyst, but before she could hit him she disappeared. Blaise fired a railgun shot off to his side making him spin around. As he turned around, he saw Sharon about to hit him, so he went for a quick uppercut diverting the staff sending it flying into the ceiling. Then Blaise fired off another railgun shot spinning him around in less than half a second so he could hit Sharon in the chest with his flaming broadsword throwing her through the wall of R&D into the hallway.

He heard a gunshot behind him, so he focused his semblance to create a heat barrier melting the sniper rifle round aimed at his head. Then Blaise didn't even turn around when he raised his railgun pistol out of the hole in the building and fired a round off. Moments later there was the sound of an impact and a very loud curse as Rosa's backpack malfunctioned making her descend to the ground.

Blaise quickly stepped to the right just in time to avoid Octavian's hammer that hit the ground making a giant hole in the floor. Then Blaise dropped his greatsword before coating his right hand in black flames. In one swift movement, Blaise grabbed Octavian by the neck slowly burning through his aura. Then with one throw, Blaise tossed Octavian out of the hole in the building to hit the ground.

Blaise smirked as he watched Octavian land on a Paladin truck. Just as he was about to turn back, he felt two bullets hit his aura. Blaise turned around and saw Kyle standing there with his pistol raised. After he saw that he had Blaise's attention, he discarded his pistol and flicked his left wrist sending a long wrist blade out from his sleeve. Then he twisted his hand turning the direction of the blade having him reverse grip the knife as he grabbed his tomahawk.

"Getting tired?" Blaise asked the paladin after noticing him panting heavily. "I'm just getting warmed up."

"Maybe you need to cool down," a new voice said from the doorway before five ice arrows traveled through the air hitting Blaise overpowering his semblance trapping his body in ice. Looking towards the door, Blaise saw a certain green haired archer holding her bow notching another arrow.

"You seem familiar," Blaise said squinting his eyes at Eva. "Eva Manos? Daughter of Linus Manos. You are a lot taller than the report said."

"Blaise, what are you talking about?" Eva asked him shakily raising her bow to aim at him.

"And some different equipment, well, a target is a target," Blaise said focusing his semblance to melt the ice surrounding him.

"Kyle, what is going on?" Eva asked shooting an ice arrow at Blaise. He quickly covered his broadsword in black flames and deflected the arrow melting the ice dust as he started walking towards Eva.

"I honestly don't know, but he doesn't seem to remember going to Beacon," Kyle said running up to Blaise. Blaise tried to strike Kyle, so he quickly hooked Blaise's broadsword with his tomahawk and redirected the blade. Blaise simply aimed his railgun pistol at Kyle's chest and fired one round into his chest throwing him through a wall.

"Blaise, do you have amnesia again?" Eva asked then activated her semblance just in time to see where Blaise was aiming his pistol at her to dodge it. Then she fired off two ice arrows hitting Blaise's feet freezing him in place for a few seconds before he melted it with his semblance.

"What do you mean, again?" Blaise asked her setting his pistol down on a nearby counter then split his broadswords in half before coating one in black flames and the other in white.

"Blaise, it's me, Eva. We are teammates of team BLZE from Beacon, and you're the leader," Eva said ducking under Blaise's black blade and blocking the white one with her bow. Firing off a round from each boot, Eva launched herself to the other side of the room then drew her crossbow and loaded a series of bolts into her crossbow. "Don't you remember Lapis, Zaria, or… me?"

"I know all well who you are," Blaise said walking towards her. "After all, someone is paying me a lot of money to kill you."

She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Thinking quickly, Eva saw the hole in the building and thought up a plan. "Well, if you want to kill me, then you'll have to catch me," Eva said then snapped her fingers once and bolted towards the hole in the building.

"Where do you think you're going?" Blaise asked her running after the archer combining the two swords again.

"Up!" Eva shouted grabbing a pipe hanging from the ceiling. Then she swung her body upwards having her feet land on the side of the building. After straightening herself out, Eva began running up the six floors heading to the roof.

"That's something you don't see everyday," Blaise muttered to himself quickly pulling a belt off a nearby paladin researcher and securing his broadsword to his back. Then he coated his claws in flames and began climbing the building by impaling his claws into the wall. Looking up, he could see Eva jumping onto the roof. Picking up his pace, Blaise climbed faster melting the bricks as he climbed up.

Then Blaise managed to get to the top of the building and launched himself onto the roof. He barely had landed on the ceiling before the heel of a boot connected with his jaw. Then Eva brought her foot down and pivoted on her foot and sweeped Blaise's legs. Launching herself away from Blaise by firing off railgun boot rounds landing next to the door to the stairwell.

Then she pulled her bow off of her back, and fired off several ice arrows encasing Blaise in ice. Then the ice melted covering a large portion of the roof in water. So Eva fired off one lighting dust arrow hitting Blaise electrocuting him severely. Eva had though she won until Blaise stood up from the ground and drew his broadsword and split them down the middle.

"Come on, you're only delaying the inevitable," Blaise said encasing the blades in the two colored flames. "I really don't enjoy killing kids, even if they are the same age as me, but lien is lien. Though, my employer would have preferred me to have killed you during initiation, but I guess a Paladin's medical facility is good enough."

"Blaise, you don't have to do this," Eva said firing off several arrows in succession of each other that Blaise easily blocked. "Come on Blaise, we are friends. We've spent the past year together, done soo much. Do you not remember the dance." She continued to fire off arrows at him until she reached into her quiver and found out that she was out of arrows.

"I don't care for any petty dances," Blaise said standing right in front of her then combined his broadswords together and raised the sword above his head having the black flames raging off of the sword heating up the area. "So, Ms. Manos, any last words?" he asked her as tears began pooling in her eyes.

"I love you," she said closing her eyes as Blaise pulled his arm back. He then took a slight breath smelling the air. Then he slashed downward only stopping the blade centimeters from her neck.

The flames suddenly stopped and the broadsword fell to the ground with a loud clank. Eva looked up at Blaise seeing his eyes had returned to normal and he was staring at his hands in horror. Then she looked closer seeing tears falling down his face.

"Eva…" Blaise said in disbelief, his voice sounding normal. Then he fell onto his knees staring straight ahead into space. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."

"Blaise," she said smiling as tears started falling down her face. She then kneeled down next to him and pulled him into a tight hug. "I thought I lost you. Lucia, Sedric, and the others found your coat in a field impaled to an airship, and they thought you were dead. I just couldn't believe it so I came all the way here to find you," she said beginning to sob into his shoulder.

"Eva, there's no way I'm going to die," Blaise said tightly hugging her back. "You know me, death can't even stop me. I don't really remember what happened. I was back at Beacon after the doubles round, then… I don't remember, but I was in a desert town… and then I was in a field. The last thing I remember was getting thrown into my airship and then a giant grimm's spike impaled my… chest." Quickly pulling away Blaise looked to the right of his chest and only saw a large circular scar that appeared to be getting slightly smaller every few seconds. "What the?" he asked then noticed how pale his skin was making it seem alabaster white.

"And I thought you couldn't get any paler," Kyle said from the stairwell with the rest of his team causing the couple to jump in surprise.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Blaise asked him causing him to roll his eyes.

"I brought you here," Kyle said before getting jabbed in the ribs by Octavian. "We brought you here. Anyway, you had a gaping hole in your chest and were dead. I brought you up to Doctor Kroger so he could cremate your body, but he mistook the reason why. So, he cleaned the wound and saw that it was healing. After removing a large spike that had impaled your heart, you basically healed your heart coming back to life."

"How could I possibly do that?" Blaise asked him then Kyle pointed at Blaise's left hand.

"I don't know if you remember or not, but I cut off your hand. What you did was you just picked it up and attached it somehow. According to Kroger, there was a special kind of dust that bound itself to the cells in your body making it replicate with your cells somehow giving you a healing factor."

"When did tha-?" Blaise asked then came to a realization. "Lucius's healing dust. I ate a bunch of it on the first day of the tournament and Lucius said that it wasn't supposed to be eaten."

"So, in addition to your grimm abilities, semblance, strength, and apparent jack-of-all-trades with weapons, you now have a healing factor that apparently keeps you alive after death," Kyle said groaning. "I guess there is no way to kill you now, great."

"What was that?" Blaise asked then Kyle turned to Rosa who was holding a bundle of fabric.

"Rosa, give him the stuff," Kyle said looking to his teammate.

"But I found it fair and square," Rosa pouted looking up at her leader.

"They don't fit you and you picked it up from one of his crates," Kyle said pointing at Blaise.

"Fine," she said tossing him the bundle of fabric.

"Cover up," Kyle told him as Blaise looked at the clothes that fell onto the ground.

After a few minutes, Blaise was fully dressed. He was wearing a black t-shirt, clean black cargo pants, black combat boots, a grey armband with a black Campione symbol on it, black fingerless gloves, and a sleeveless grey leather long coat with a hood.

"I thought I would never have to wear this thing again," Blaise muttered to himself looking at the outfit.

"Well, Lucia has your aviator trench coat, and she's on her way to the White Fang facility in Vale," Eva said causing Blaise to groan.

"Come on, it's my jacket. I've never not worn it," Blaise said causing his girlfriend to chuckle.

"Come on in," Kyle said gesturing for Blaise and Eva to come into the stairwell, "You guys might need to rest up after all that fighting."

Oh, did you guys honestly think that I would permanently kill Blaise. He's my favorite character. I mean I did say over and over again that he was basically dead, and that his heart had stopped beating. Well, his heart had stopped beating like I said multiple times.

Anyway, I just made Blaise practically invincible. Even getting his hand cut off didn't slow him down. And if anyone can tell, Blaise is a very good fighter and his semblance is really overpowered if he uses it correctly. Oh yeah, I even gave Blaise a bit of a new power, white flames.

Oh, in case anyone was wondering, I had intended for Blaise to die since chapter one, just so I could make the healing dust important in the story. Now, I can use this for specific purposes in the future.

Oh yeah, the reason Blaise went to Beacon, he was hired to kill Eva. Well, that turned out probably the opposite of what his employer was expecting. Well, who hired him?

So yeah, Blaise snapped out of the crazy zone by a particular smell if anyone caught that. Here's a hint. It was the same smell that told Blaise there was something wrong with Eva at the dance.

Kaimi, I owe you five lien. I have no idea how you're going to collect it.

Next chapter, things are going to start reaching the climax.

Oh, did you think that this chapter was a climax?
