My Choice
As Yoh stepped out, he observed the situation. The X-Laws member all fell unconscious, and Hao has bat wings, Yoh assume that Hao is performing Hyoui Gattai with Elfrost and knock them out with ultrasonic wave.
Hao noticed Yoh immediately, since Hao turned to him and shot him a wide grin, "You are back!" Hao said happily and with relief.
Yoh nod and smile, "I'm back." he greeted, Yoh sent his butterfly to the X-Laws place and put Jeanne down to the ground.
Immediately, there's a bright light from Great Spirit, all the other Shamans gasped in surprise, well except Hao.
"What did you do?" Hao asked calmly, "You're the Shaman King now, right?".
Yoh only shot him a mischievous smile, "Oh, Onii-chan. You don't expect me to spoil the surprise, do you?" he asked wickedly.
"What happened in there?" Goldva asked.
Yoh grin again, "You will know later." he said simply and walk to Hao and drag him to Lyserg and the rest.
Just then, a beeping sound can be heard everywhere. Hao look at Yoh with an eyebrow raised, and since Yoh don't bother to look at his Oracle Bell to have a wide excited grin. Hao decided to look by himself, he himself had a wide grin as he read the message.
To all participants of Shaman Tournament,
We, Great Spirit, have chosen our Shaman Kings. Why plural? Since we chose 3 Shaman to be our Shaman Kings.
The first and second Shaman are Hao Asakura and Yoh Haruyama Asakura, the Twin from Asakura family. They each have the support of one third of the whole Shaman participants. Their furyoku is equals with each other, 1.500.000 points, increased recently from 1.250.000 points.
The third Shaman is recommended by Yoh Haruyama Asakura, he believe that this Shaman can be a good partner for them. The said Shaman is Lyserg Diethel, his furyoku is not as much as Hao or Yoh, but we decide to listen to Yoh.
The representative of Great Spirit, Luna the Miko from Haruyama Clan.
"Oh my God!" Lyserg exclaimed as he finished reading the message, he look at Yoh, "Yoh-kun! You recommended me?!".
Yoh grin and nod, "Yeah, I did." he said, then look at Hao, "You have any complaint?".
Hao smiled and shook his head, "Nope, I agree with you, Lyserg will be a good partner for us." he said firmly, "But I don't believe I got chosen even after what I did".
Yoh's smile widened, he then dragged Hao and Lyserg to the Patch, "Can we do the ceremony now? I want this over as fast as possible." he said.
The Patch Officials took the three to the place for ceremony, Yoh's friends and family waited outside together with Hao's followers.
"Are they going to be okay?" Keiko asked slowly, worried for the boys.
Mikihisa pat her shoulder, "Don't worry, they will be alright." he said calmly, "They are strong, they will be fine".
"Yes, that's right." Silva said as he walk to them, "They will be fine, they will come out soon".
Silva sat beside Ren, "Silva, how come you're not using your Patch attributes?" Ren asked, eyeing Silva white shirt and blue jeans.
Silva shrugged, "I retire being Patch Officials, the Shaman King already chosen after all." Silva said nonchalantly, "I came here not as an Official now, I came as the descendant of Hao".
"Huh, you're his descendant?!" Horo Horo exclaimed, earning a slap from Anna.
"Be quiet." she said coldly.
"Hao born in the Patch 500 years ago, I'm his descendant from that lineage." Silva explained.
"I even forgot that I have other descendant aside from the Asakura." Hao's voice rang, causing them to look at the entrance.
Hao and Yoh looked the same as usual, Lyserg looked more mature and wise than before, but he still act like his usual self. "We are back." Yoh said cheerfully, "Is something happened when we are inside?".
"Nothing." Ren said shortly, he stare at Yoh so intensely, "I wonder if there's something different about you, Lyserg clearly become more mature and wise, but both you and Hao still look and act the same".
"Because I and Hao only act as Lyserg assistants, we both like to have our own thought in private, so basically, Lyserg is the only Shaman King, but we can use Shaman King's power if we want or need." Yoh explained calmly.
"And I already used with many people voice in my head, Yoh is surprisingly had the same abilities as mine, that's why he adviced me to block people's thought, since he can hear them too, so he used to them too." Hao said calmly, then Yoh glared at him.
"Nii-chan, I already said that it's a secret." Yoh scolded Hao, then he sighed and look at the rest, "I have this ability after my 15th birthday, the side effect for living with Demon for 10 years more, I can read the thoughts of people who had Demon's power like Hao, since Hao get his ability to hear thoughts from Ohachiyo".
"What will we do, Yoh-kun?" Lyserg asked.
"What do you want?" Yoh asked instead, "As I said, you are the one who have most power, I want to start traveling again, but I will always back to the Inn, Hao will come with me".
Lyserg flinched, "Yoh-kun, I'm still childish compared to you, I need advice." He said weakly.
"Lyserg." Hao called, "As we shared the title of Shaman King, we can communicate telephatically, you can ask anytime even if we are not around".
"So, we can't meet often?" Keiko asked, somewhat sad.
"Okaa-san, don't worry." Yoh said cheerfully.
"Just say our name when you want to meet and we will come right away." Hao add.
"Shaman King can teleported freely after all." Lyserg said with a grin.
Yoh and Hao said their goodbyes and start their adventure, as Yoh had predicted, Lyserg often ask for advice and help from Yoh and Hao. All X-Laws's members are sent home by Lyserg, since he doesn't want them to make any troubles again.
Yoh and Hao always back to the inn at weekend, they have met many things and convinced people to respect Nature and help each others, they are viewed as an ideal types of leader, so many want to learned from them. After a while, because the number is increased even more, and Manta's family provide them the money, Yoh and Hao builded a school for those that want to be an activist, future leader and even president, anyone who want to learn from them. They build their personality and teach them how to make a wise decision, also taught them self-defense and any skill that they will need in the future. In just 3 years, Hao and Yoh able to make the crime rate fall greatly, meanwhile Lyserg hard work, by showing influential youngsters an illusion of beautiful face of Nature compared to the current one they have, finally have some fruits, that youngsters start working Nature rejuvenation project. The Nature start to regain her beauty, the sea become more clean and clear, the forest become more dense, the soil become rich again.
"Sensei!" Hao was reading a newspaper when one of his student barge into Yoh and Hao private room, Yoh is doing job of exorcising Evil Demon that night, so he chose to wait at their school. Normally, during this time, he and Yoh will have their meditation's time.
Hao look up to see the student, "What is it?" he asked with a calm expression.
"Hao-sensei, it's bad!" the student said after she catch her breath, "I, my friend's cousin is attacked by this strange creature that have wings!".
Hao folded his newspaper and get his sword, Yoh's called Mosuke to make another sword a month after they become Shaman King, Asahi (Morning Sun), "Where?" Hao asked calmly as he walked to the door.
"At Shinra Gakuen's (Academy) parking area." The student answered, "I heard that sensei and Yoh-sensei are used to this kind of problem and can help, what should we do?".
"Just wait at your house, I will get your friend's cousin to your house." Hao answered and opened the window, "Close the window to me, will you?" he asked and jumped.
"Sensei! This is 15th floor!" the student exclaimed, but when she looked down, no one in sight, "Uh, sensei must have some trick, they say that he is a Shaman or something after all", she muttered as she closed the window.
Hao teleported to the place right after he jumped from the window, he can see that the Demon is up in the sky, it's from normal class and holding a teen girl with silver hair, my, what a strange hair colour, reminding me of that Jeanne girl. "Lets go, Matamune." Hao said and pressing Matamune's Hitodama into Asahi and formed his Oversoul, "Onigoroshi". He make the sword wrapped with fire, he learned fire magic from Yuki's spirit when Yoh called her, that way he can cut High Level Demon that had immunity to Shamanic ability.
Hao jumped so high in the sky and cut the Demon from it's head to feet, instantly killed it. He caught the girl and jumped from roof to roof until arrived at his student house.
"Sensei!" the student called in relief.
"Here you go." Hao said and lower the silver haired girl to the ground, he gasped when he see who the silver haired girl is, "Jeanne?".
Jeanne snorts, "We meet again, Hao." She said in her usual toneless tone, "Why did you save me though?".
Hao smiled, causing both Jeanne and his student to confused. "Aren't Yoh already said last time that I am different person from before?" he asked calmly, "I'm surprised that you are here in Japan though".
Jeanne blushed, "Ren asked me to come by, he is my fiance." Jeanne said quickly.
"I see, you are engaged, congrats then." Hao said and start to walk away.
"Wait!" Jeanne called out, "You still not answered me!".
"If the options I have are between to serve Life or Death, "Hao started and look at Jeanne with a wide grin, "My Choice is to serve Life".
