Chapter 4: The Trials

"Is that everything you wish to know?" asked the Witch of Greed.

"Yeah, that's all I was curious about. Thanks for all the help, ladies," Subaru answered, waving his hand towards Echidna and the other five Witches behind her.

It had now been a few hours in Echidna's Castle of Dreams, but to the outside world, it had only been a few minutes. Echidna was fascinated by Subaru, and he, in turn, wanted to know everything she had to offer that could help him.

So, they struck a deal.

Subaru would explain all of his newfound abilities, his powers, his magic, his knowledge from another world, his goals, his fears, everything. All, that is, with one exception.

And Echidna, fulfilling her end of the deal, would answer every and any question Subaru asked. And there were plenty of questions.

The white-haired woman explained everything. She spoke of how she and the other Witches' souls resided here, she spoke of the creation of the Sanctuary, the Trials, the Apostles, her goals for immortality, her contract with Beatrice, and she even spoke of the others.

Upon mentioning the others, Subaru asked to see them. And she delivered.

He met Typhon and spoke of justice. He debated Minerva in the field of healing. He learned from Daphne that she created the Mabeasts, not Satella. He was fascinated by the history of the group, spoken to him by Carmilla. He even understood the power dynamics of the Witches from Sekhmet, Authorities and Witch Factors included.

Needless to say, both parties were satisfied with the arrangement.

It was now time for Subaru to leave. "Well, thanks for the gross tea and cookies, I'll be heading out," he said, standing up and heading for the portal Echidna created.

"Oh, one more thing," she added.

"Yeah?"

"If you plan to liberate the Sanctuary, you'll have to get through that idiot, Garf. He's afraid of the outside world, so if you manage to convince him, you'll have a powerful ally."

"Understood, thank you for your time. Good luck to you all!"

The six Witches proceeded to give Subaru sweet farewells, thanking him for his time, and wishing him success for the future.

"What a truly fascinating individual."

Upon regaining consciousness, Subaru looked around and saw he was still in the Tomb.

Judging from the sun outside, it's only been a few minutes.

Standing up, Subaru grabbed his staff and walked out, lifting his hand to avoid the sun. Once his eyes adjusted, however, he saw the dragon carriage he came in out in the field, with a passed-out Otto in the dirt.

"EMILIA-TAN! OTTO!"

Dropping his staff, the Japanese boy ran towards Patrasche and Frufoo, only for a figure to jump down, sending dirt everywhere, and blocking Subaru's path.

"Yer a fast one, aintcha? My amazin' self didn't even get a chance to grab ya."

In front of Subaru now stood a boy with blond hair, a mouth full of teeth, and a bad attitude.

"Oh, well. I'll just kick yer ass, and take yer stick as a trophy, 'stead."

The boy started to charge towards Subaru, while Subaru himself was thinking about what he should do, his mind going a hundred miles a minute.

Should I blast him with something? No, he didn't hurt Otto, he probably thinks we're intruders- I shouldn't use lethal force with him. I'll just go easy on him.

Dropping his staff, Subaru chanted "Mimicry!" and "Haste!" allowing him to copy the fighter's skills perfectly, while also hitting him with speed and efficiency. It also didn't hurt that "Auto-Dodge", a skill that allowed Subaru to avoid nearly any strike.

In other words, the blond dumbass had no chance in hell to hit Subaru.

The fight began with the boy striking with his right fist, which Subaru immediately dodged, turned, and proceeded to copy the move, socking the guy in the face.

Next, with his speed, Subaru went from behind to avoid the kid's counter-attack, while hitting him in the back. That second attack snapped the boy out of his trance from the first punch, making him turn around and clobber Subaru, who managed to dodge by a hair.

Holy shit, this guy's fast!

Returning the favor, Subaru once again punched one of the guy's cheeks, before following it with a multi-attack to the blond boy's chest, until the kid had enough and got out of the way.

Ramming his fist straight to Subaru's face, Subaru dodged, while also delivering a blow that the kid dodged, as the two continued to fight on equal footing.

Eventually, the boy smacked Subaru away, who skidded on the dirt. Standing up, the Japanese teenager saw that the blonde boy was beginning to charge at him.

Leaving himself open for an attack, Subaru decided that it was time to end this, using a new move he had learned from the Witches of Sin.

Come on, come on… closer, closer…

The boy ran faster and faster, until finally he leaped towards Subaru, ready to end him

"AAAHHH!"

Fell for it!

Inside Subaru's body, something dark shined brightly coiled out, as the world turned black and white for the nasty-eyed boy. "GRAAHHH!"

POW!

And from inside his body, a purple arm came out and uppercutted the boy, sending him flying back a couple of meters, as his expression was that of one who realized he was tricked.

There, that should do it, Subaru thought to himself, feeling sick. Wait a minute...

Looking up from where he was vomiting, Subaru saw that the blonde boy had stood back up, and was limping towards him, as if ready for more.

"You've gotta be kidding me…" groaned Subaru. "Just how tough are you, blondie?"

Suddenly, something clicked for Subaru.

Blonde hair and green eyes. That's how Echidna described…

He closed his eyes and shouted, "WE KNOW FREDERICA!"

"N'why did dat name just come outta yer filthy mouth?" he muttered.

"I knew it! You're Frederica's brother! You're Garfiel!" Subaru exclaimed in joy. He was glad that he hadn't gone overboard and accidentally killed the boy.

Garfiel fell to his knees and answered, "Yeah, she's my sis. What's that gotta do with anythin'?"

Before Subaru could respond, someone else appeared from the forest.

"Garf!"

"Ram?"

"GARF! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!" the pink-haired maid cried, seeing her friend's state.

"Oh, um, Ram? That would be my fault." answered Subaru.

Looking straight at the black-haired boy, Ram gave him the death glare of a lifetime. "First, you get teleported and go missing, causing Emilia-sama to faint during the whole ordeal. Then, I tell the merchant boy to stay put while I went to get help, and what I come back to is you, Barusu, beating Garf here senseless? Am I right about that?"

"You call what I did to him a senseless beating?! Didn't you see what he tried to do to me?! Hell, look at what he did to Otto!" yelled the Suabru, pointing at the fainted merchant.

"Oy, I didn' touch 'im. He jus' fainted when I scared him. It was actually too easy."

"Very well, then. No harm, no foul. Barusu, you will be punished later," said Ram, as she proceeded to kick Otto awake. "Get up, you useless, good-for-nothing merchant."

"Oww… I thought I was gonna die…" groaned, said good-for-nothing merchant.

After that round of explanations, Otto had the dragons direct the cart towards the village inside the Sanctuary. While that happened, Emilia proceeded to wake up, happy that Subaru was back. Meanwhile, Garfiel kept looking at Subaru, making him extremely uncomfortable. Upon parking the dragon carriage, the group walked into the village.

"Are you sure you're okay?" asked Subaru, with concern in his voice.

However, Emilia had nothing but annoyance in hers. "Yes, Subaru, I'm fine."

"Here's where the clown's bein' treated. He tried to forcefully bring down the barrier, but no-go." Garfiel explained, pointing to one of the buildings.

"Huh, this place must have done a number on him if he's bedridden as you say," Subaru mused. "Well, let's go in and say 'hi'."

Ram opened the door, and the three of them walked in on a smiling Roswaal.

"Ah, Subaru-kun, you've fiiiiinally made it. I take it that if you're heeeeere, Emila-sama is here as well, no?" And, as if on cue, Emilia followed Subaru inside.

After closing the door, Subaru examined the margrave. "Wow, Ros-chi, you look like crap. Here, let me fix you up…"

Roswaal raised his eyebrow at Subaru's proposal.

Approaching Roswaal, Subaru started. "Heal…" Subaru chanted, as he poured mana into his employer. But that's when his eyes widened. He felt no injuries.

He's faking it.

Subaru immediately retracted his hands and stepped away. "Uh, sorry, guess my training with Felix back at the Capital wasn't all it was cracked up to be…" he lied.

Roswaal still kept his eye on Subaru, but decided to play along.

"So, uh, what do you need from us?" asked Subaru, still trying to brush off what he just did.

"Well, as you can seeeee, no one is able to leave the Sanctuary until the baaaaarrier is lifted. That is where Emilia-sama cooooomes in."

"She's going to take the Trial."

"As astute as ever, Suuuuubaru-kun."

Emilia contemplated it for a bit. "Well, if it helps others, then I suppose I'll do it."

Hours had passed since the meeting. The sun had set, and the Trial was about to begin. Subaru, Garfiel, Emilia, and Otto were present, as the Tomb was glowing a bright blue. Soon enough, a short, pink-haired half-elf in black robes carrying a staff arrived.

"Greetings. I am Ryuzu Blima. I shall be overlooking the Trial of young Emilia."

Due to his meeting with Echidna, Subaru was now familiar with the multiple Ryuzus running around the Sanctuary. Still, he kept his smile. "Hi there, I'm Subaru Natsuki."

"It's about time to start. Are you ready, young Emilia?" asked the pink loli.

"Mm-hm. Wish me luck," she said, with a smile.

"You'll do great, Emilia-tan."

With a hum and a nod, Emilia proceeded to walk into the Witch's Tomb, which now shined brighter than before, accepting her to take the Trial.

With her gone, Subaru turned around to leave, only to be met by Garfiel.

Garfiel remained silent for a few seconds, causing Subaru to panic. Oh shit, does he want revenge? Think, think! I know! I'll apologize and kiss his ass!

"Look, if it's about what happened earlier, I'm so-"

Before Subaru could continue, the blond demihuman fell down to one knee.

"Teach me."

It took a minute for Subaru to figure out what just happened. "Wait, what?"

"I said teach me!" yelled Garfiel, jumping up. "Come on! Ya gotta 'ave some super-secret technique! My amazin' self wants t'be jus' like ya! So please, teach me! I'm beggin' ya!"

"All right, all right, fine, whatever! Henceforth, you're officially my student, or whatever!"

"Hell yeah!" the blond demihuman boy cheered. "Thank you, Sensei!"

"Don't call me that."

"Okay, how abou' Cap'n?"

"Yeah, sure, why not? Listen, I gotta go…" Subaru explained, prying Garfiel off of him.

"Hey, Natsuki-san! Where are you going? I thought you would stay here and support Emilia-sama!" asked Otto, as he watched Subaru leave.

"I wish I could, but I gotta talk to Ros-chi about something."

Back inside the cabin, there were now three people. The sorcerer, the pink maid, and the boy.

"My, my. I didn't think you'd cooooome to visit little old meeeee out of your own free will. I'm flaaaaattered."

However, Subaru had that look in his eye which showed he was having none of that today. "Ram, could you please leave us? We need to talk. Alone."

The oni looked towards her master, who nodded. Ram then bowed, and left the two of them.

Once alone, Subaru started to talk. "I know you're not injured. What's going on?"

"I too, am curious about what happened to you. I didn't know you were any good at healing."

"Yeah, I've got a lot of new tricks up my sleeve," said Subaru. "In fact, If you don't start talking, I'm gonna use one now."

Roswaal looked at him with a small smirk. "Hmph, do your worst."

"Dominate!"

With that one word, Roswaal no longer had control of his body. He was at Subaru's will.

"Now, you're going to tell me everything you know," the boy snarled.

Subaru was now running through the forest. His head was a buzzing, screaming well of thoughts. But the biggest one repeated itself ad nauseum:

What do I do? What do I do? What do I do? What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?

Back in the cabin, Subaru commanded Roswaal to tell him everything. And everything he did.

He told him about his plan to resurrect his teacher. He told him how he had been following the Tome of Wisdom for 400 years. He told him about the assassins coming to the mansion. He told him about his plan to lure the Great Rabbit here. He told him about how he used Emilia to have Subaru dancing in the palm of his hand. He even knew about Subaru's looping.

Now Subaru knew everything. And that terrified him.

He knew if he tried to warn the mansion, Elsa and Meili would kill everyone, as Roswaal ordered. He knew if he left Emilia alone, she would mentally break without him. He knew if he tried to take the Trials himself, he would be playing into the mage's hand. If he did nothing, the Great Rabbit would arrive and kill everyone. There was no way out.

Just like back in the capital, Subaru was drowning in despair. He didn't know what to do.

And that terrified him.

"AIIEEEE…!"

Snapping him out of his thoughts, Subaru ran towards the source of the scream. He knew who it belonged to As he kept running, he stepped out of the clearing, and saw the Witch's Tomb.

"EMILIA!"

Subaru was no longer thinking straight. All he could think of was saving Emilia, but the darkest corners of his mind kept whispering to him that it was futile.

"Natsuki-san! Stop!"

"Hey! Whaddya don'?!"

Otto and Garfiel saw Subaru running like a crazed madman, and proceeded to block him from entering the Tomb, while Ryuzu gave him a concerned look.

"You have to let me in there!"

"Hell naw, man!"

"No, you don't understand!"

"Don' understan' wha'?!"

"WERE ALL GONNA DIE!"

WHAM!

Subaru was now silent. He felt a blow right to his face. His knees giving out, Subaru collapsed to the ground and looked up.

The punch came none other than the green merchant himself, Otto.

"Now… I'm going to ask you once, Natsuki-san. What did you discuss with Margrave Roswaal?"

Otto, Garfiel, and Ryuzu all looked at Subaru with horror in their eyes.

He had told them everything. The attack coming to the mansion, the Great Rabbit's arrival to the Sanctuary, the fact that one little slip-up could result in untold amounts of deaths, everything.

And by the end of it, Subaru had tears in his eyes.

"I can't do it. It's an impossible scenario to win," he continued, looking at each of them. "No matter what I do, I can't save everyone. I'm sorry." He looked away, with shame in his eyes.

"Natsuki-san."

Subaru looked up, and saw the look in Otto's eyes.

BAM!

But what he didn't see was Otto's fist coming down on him.

"Listen here, Subaru Natsuki! You know, for as powerful as you are, you're pretty dumb, aren't you? A lot of what you said bothered me, but what peeved me off the most was your mentality of doing it all by yourself! And all that just to impress a girl?!"

"Impress a girl? What are you talking about…"

That's when it hit him. Back in the carriage, when Emilia asked why he did all this, he never gave her a proper answer. He thought how he didn't know it.

But now, he did know it.

He loved Emilia.

He had loved her ever since he sobbed into her lap during his first week at the mansion. He wanted to fight for her, to make her smile, not because that's what fate decided, or out of some moral obligation, it was because he loved her, plain as that.

So… why didn't I tell her?

The answer to that also came easily.

He was afraid. After everything he had done, after all the deaths and trauma, his judgement had been warped. He viewed everyone as owing him a favor they didn't even know, combined with his insecurities, it created that loathsome boy everyone looked down upon in the Capital.

Then, when he gained power beyond his imagination, the guilt he felt when he realized what he had done during the Royal Selection ate away at him. It made him feel that he didn't deserve anyone, so that's why his mind suppressed any feelings he felt towards Emilia.

But not anymore. He knew why he was fighting.

"It's Emilia-sama, you idiot! Who else?!" Otto continued. "The first thing you did when you realized there was a problem was think of how you would solve it by yourself! You're capable of taking down the White Whale, but you can't ask for help?! What kind of person are you?!"

"What?" Subaru stuttered. "W-what are you saying?"

"I'm saying, you shouldn't stress over something like this by yourself over something stupid like your manly pride! Let us help you! Let your friends help you!"

"F-friends?"

"What, you've never had a friend before?" Otto asked, looking down on him.

"No, not really."

"Well, guess what? You now have one, and I am here to help you."

Subaru was stunned into silence. There was someone who was willing to help him? Tears of joy mixed with disbelief fell from his eyes. He wasn't alone. Wiping them, Subaru looked up at those who were willing to help him.

With newfound determination, he stared at Otto, Garfiel, and Ryuzu.

"Okay, let's come up with a plan."

The first thing Emilia noticed when she opened her eyes was that she was on a bed.

The second was that Subaru was next to her.

"S-subaru? What happened?"

"Well, Emilia-tan, from what I heard, you must have seen something terrifying to scream as loud as you did. After that, Ryuzu-san had to pull you out of the Tomb. Hence, why you're on a bed right now. You were actually out cold for the entire night. So… good morning."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"Hey, someone once told me that a single 'thank you' was worth more than a million sorries."

"Right. Thank you."

"Hey, besides you can still take the Trail again tonight. So for now, rest. I'll still be here when you wake."

"You promise?"

"I promise."

Satisfied, Emilia placed her head down on the pillow, and proceeded to drift off once more.

Once she was asleep once more, Subaru approached her, his hands nearing her neck, as if to strangle her. But before he could, Subaru felt cold. Ice started to form on his fingertips.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," a cheery voice warned him.

"It was the only way I knew you would come out," Subaru explained, pulling his hands away.

Suddenly, as if out of thin air, a cat-like spirit appeared. It was the Beast of the End.

"And why did you need me to come out?" Puck asked, his tone was ice-cold.

But Subaru's tone was colder. He knew a Level 78 Spirit stood no chance against him. "I need your help, Puck. And if you refuse... I might just have to kill you."

Roswaal was alone in his bed, contemplating what had happened to him earlier.

Subaru-kun controlled my mind and forced me to tell him everything about my plan. How? How did he do that?! No matter. Teacher's gift has instructed me what to do. All I need to do is carry out my objective, and the looping boy shall be mine.

But before Roswaal could continue to dwell on his thoughts, the door to his room slammed open. Roswaal looked up to see who would dare enter his room unannounced.

Who dared, was everyone's favorite tracksuit-wearing boy.

"Roswaal, let's make a bet!"

Author's Note: Howdy to all of you! Thanks for reading! Now it's time for everybody's favorite portion of our program… responding to comments!

Guest #1: If by "the last part" you're referring to the moment the Royal Candidates realized they screwed up, then I'll try my best, but no promises.

Guest #2: Subaru will be able to take down Regulus, but he'll die first. Plus, he'll need some help. But no, it won't be Reinhard. And as for Pandora, he'll take care of her, too.

The chosen one: Glad you loved the chapter, here's more.

Guest #3: Sylphy will play a minor role in the story, but she'll remain single.

Waiz: Glad you found a story that suits your needs. See you later!

Guest #4: Julius will have about half a chapter to feel bad about what he did.

CrimsonKnight050: Priscilla is capable of being scared, yes. I find it interesting that Crusch could consider the White Whale's death as a "warning shot". No, Juliuys will still be in the Anastasia Camp, but he might be ousted by the Royal Knights, and he'll try to make an apology. And in case they were wondering if the Dragon Tablet malfunctioned, all the corpses and scorched earth should be enough to show the world what Subaru is capable of. They'll be glad to know that Subaru is the forgiving type.

Anonymous: Yeah, no one is getting an explanation for how Subaru became that powerful. Actually, yes, Subaru will eventually play along with everyone's idea that he was just pretending that he was a weakling from the start. Sasuga, Subaru-sama!

Look2021: Yes, it was a great chapter. I put a lot of work into it.

Sagebaru FTW: The reason I didn't write Subaru confessing his love in the last chapter was because in this chapter he realizes that he truly loves her. Since Rem never gave him that pep talk, he never figured out how to properly say it, and, as seen in this chapter, he just repressed the idea of love because he still thinks he's unworthy of it. Also, sorry if this stuff is inaccurate to the source material, I'm only human. Plus, I'm still an amatuer writer, so my thoughts can't always be correctly conveyed to speech. Despite that, thanks for saying that you'll respect other people's opinions. I appreciate that.

Guest #5: I have no idea what this drama with Childline is, but thanks for defending my honor, I guess. Thanks for apologizing beforehand, at least that's worth something.

Guest #6: I still have no idea what's going on, therefore I ain't touching it.

worrierfierce: Arc 4 is pretty much gonna be the same as in canon but with no suffering, however, there will be a couple of major differences. Don't worry, once Arc 4 is over, the canon divergence will really skyrocket, just needed to get everyone together.

CryingAlex: I will try to have Kazuma's "Steal" implemented somewhere, yes.

R-king 93: Thanks for the awesome complement.

DiscordedNotes: I'm pretty sure Crusch believed that the Divine Dragon would save the Royal Family because they embodied Lugnica in some sort of nationalist sense, plus the reason she wants to get rid of Volcanica is because she believes he let Fourier die.

KazeelBaYz: I have no idea what Adonis Urresta did wrong, but if it's about the WHDAAA thing, he's referring to my potential future work, so I'll allow him to stay. That being said, all hell has broken loose, indeed.

NibiruVonJohan: No, Elsa, Frederica, and Shaula aren't gonna gun it for Subaru, glad you understand that. Surprisingly enough, the way you described the relationship with the other Camps is exactly how I'm planning to write it.

Adonis Urresta: Odio decírtelo, pero pasarán un par de capítulos antes de que Subaru acabe con el Gran Conejo. Además, gracias por entender todo el asunto de Elsa, y si te estás preguntando qué enemigos podrían derrotar a Subaru, solo mira los que lograron derrotar a Reinhard. Y sobre el proyecto WHDAAA, podría trabajar en eso una vez que esta serie esté completa, pero podría hacer algunos one-shots mientras trabajo en esto.

Maximum Rhapsody: We might see some power-ups with the rest of the cast to use against the bad guys. As for Ram's horn, I'll try to find a way for Subaru to fix it.

WarlockofVainglory: While it is true that Roswaal is a dead man, his plan could still technically work. If Subaru took the Trials in Emilia's place, she would be broken, if he tried to save the Mansion on his own, he wouldn't make it back to the Sanctuary in time, etc. It could still work, just not as well. There are just a lot of factors in there.

Marshall0-56: Thanks for the excellent comment!

Steinfield: Unfortunately, Subaru will not take the Trials, not even the first one. Echidna never gave him permission. Thanks for praising my work, though.

stingrasher: I read about what happened to you on Discord. You have my sincerest condolences. If it makes you feel any better, I really loved your work, I'm sorry to hear that it was bashed like that. Take as much time as you need, your fans will be waiting. On a happier note, your comment on Otto made me chuckle. Please take care.

The Heretic Slayer 69: No, I'm not adding anyone else to Subaru's love life, three is enough. Everyone else has their pairings, anyhow.

Im The Person: Sorry to tell you this, but Subaru won't kill Roswaal. If he did, Emilia's campaign would be sunk. Remember, Subaru doesn't know of his status. Oh, and thanks for letting me borrow your book titles! Can I please be in your multiverse?

14DF: Para ser honesto, el Consejo de Sabios simplemente volvería a llamar a los Candidatos para darles la noticia. Además, gracias por comprender que todos tienen su propio derecho sobre qué personaje termina con qué otro personaje siempre y cuando nadie sea acosado. Y oye, no te avergüences de tu español, ¡todos los idiomas son bienvenidos aquí! ¡Es por eso que estoy escribiendo esta sección en español, después de todo! ¡Para hacerte sentir cómodo en tu propia piel!

kermarahymoten: Unfortunately, Subaru will need to work together with the other Candidates if anyone has a remote chance of survival. No more rejections here.

BasicDemolition: While I won't change what I wrote, I will still explain my reasoning behind it. Subaru was subconsciously denying that he loved Emilia, as he still believed that he didn't deserve her, and since Rem never cheered him up, he never realized it. Hope that clears things up. Anyways, thanks for deeming my writing good, overall.

Wilber Beato Quispe: Si bien tu idea fue buena, Subaru no usará la pausa en el tiempo para matar a la Gran Liebre. Utilizará algo más ... explosivo. Pero usará el movimiento de matar a Stronoff en otro lugar solo en un ... oponente más digno.

pokemonrot337: I was thinking of making Julius depressed, but denial is good, too.

Childline: Sorry that you hate cliffhangers so much. While it is true that Subaru will leave for a bit, he's still a member of the Emilia Camp, but he will still be fixing the world. While it would be fun seeing Puck get slapped around, this is still realistic, so I'll try to maintain some form of dignity. Geuse will be coming around the same time as Shaula, and as for Felix… I'm not touching him for now. Glad you had fun, though.

The Knightrider: I will take your advice and try to lengthen the dialogue, thanks. Also, I'm trying to make the second "I love you" more impactful by getting rid of the first one. And as for Shaula, Subaru will find out that he created her, Books of the Dead do exist here. But she will still be loved, just not romantically. That said, I liked "Re:Mission Impossible", so please update it, if possible. Get it?

BorderLand: Oh, the theories surrounding Subaru are gonna be really good. But, you're right about Rem accepting it, Satella being happy, and how writing Emilia will be tricky.

Guest #7: Yeah, Subaru will definitely appreciate his new powers.

Guest #8: Hearing how Subaru killed the Great Rabbit will send everyone into a panic.

Razinarchive786: Unfortunately, the Dragon Tablet will be reporting when villains are defeated, no other achievements or reconnections with old friends.

Thunderfox: The slime thing was a typo, I meant to write "some", I've already corrected the error. Let's just keep that joke as our little secret, okay?

legendaryRay5: What are you hiding?

Now, for the new powers Subaru used this week, they were:

"Mimicry": A skill that allows a person to mimic or copy someone else's skills perfectly for up to three minutes, all for the cost of 1/15th of their mana. Used by Seiya.

"Auto-Dodge": A skill that allows a person to dodge any attack. Used by Kazuma.

"Heal": Heals the user or an ally. Can also purify the Undead. Used by Kazuma.

Well, that's all we have for this week! See you later, alligators!
