The Unknown MemberChapter 2
Genki stared out over the vast sea of faces that were crowded in front of her dojo.
"Well, this should be interesting." She said to herself as she scanned the crowd and the power given off by the competitors.
She sighed. There were only a handful of people with strong spirit energy. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a bright glimmer in the dull glow of mediocre energy. She turned and gasped. Four bright lights blazed.
One was a deep red. "Demon." Spat Genki under her breath. She turned her attention to the other three beacons of light standing about ten feet away from the demon. The weakest was a boy surrounded by a yellow light, but for all his energy, he looked quite weak. The second boy was engulfed in blue but looked like a smart aleck and that could get him into trouble.
She then shifted her gaze to the third and had to blink several times to adjust her eyes to the brightness. Once she focused, she was astounded to see that this very large, very bright silver fire was erupting from a young shy looking girl.
Genki smiled and thought Why not? The Spirit Wave may be passed from female to female. Hm, What's this? She had just noticed a bluer silver energy surrounding the girl's energy like a chain. Too bad all that tremendous power is locked up inside her. Perhaps these tests will unlock those chains.
Genki turned her attention back to the majority of the crowd.
"The first test will be that of drawing lots."
Everyone pulled an anime fall.
"If your lot is red, congratulations, you have made it to the next round. If it is white, then go home."
me: I assume you've seen the show so you know that it's your spirit energy that turns the lot red
Genki watched as each individual filed up the stairs and took a slip of paper. When the girl with chained power stepped up, her lot began to turn so red inside its envelope that Genki could see the color through the paper.
She took the girl aside and said "Tell me, girl. What's your name?" "I'm Yumi." Stammered the girl.
Genki continued "Why are you here? I sense you do not seek my power."
"I was hoping to get help with my powers, but now that I'm here, I figured I'd get that help if I were your apprentice."
Genki smirked. "Open your lot, girl"
Yumi opened the lot and saw it was red. Genki saw the girl sigh with relief.
She turned to the crowd and told everyone to open their lots. They did as she bid
me: Hey that rhymed!
All the red papers came forward while the white papers walked off grumbling. Genki put the much smaller group remaining through some tests measuring spirit strength, awareness, and energy. She kept her eye on Yumi who shyly took and passed the tests. Her strength was average and her awareness was high. She stepped up to the karaoke, which would test her energy.
"I-I-I'm going to sing a fairee love song"
Genki watched as she sang.
Yumi started to sing quietly and shyly at first but then she really got into it.
"I'll be born into a new self in this sky with an endless future I'll start the snow of happiness worldwide.There is no determined tomorrow because the destiny is something that you grab. Just reach out your hand freely. It wasn't a coincidence that we met that day because I sensed eternity in your eyesIn a beautiful sunset, I can hear your voice when the cold wind shines.My heart is burning because I'm painfully aware that I am not alone. It all starts from believing that is the proof of my life.I'll be born into a new self in this sky with an endless future. I'll start the snow of happiness worldwide holding hands with you.Fluttering petals in the water chasing a far away moon. Further then the dream ever dreamt. Whenever a sad thing happens, I alone look up into the blue sky. So, I don't want to be defeated by myself.When I realized, the place of warm love and future that I was looking for was in my heart.If there is one thing that I can make happen, without hesitation, I will start filling up everyone with a beautiful heart just like snow.I may hesitate but I won't regret, so take me with you. I won't be afraid if you are with me. Touch me, I was sleeping, I'm waking up now."
me: Ok. This was actually a Japanese song by the J-pop singer, Yoko Ishida but I got the translation with her CD. If you've ever seen Pretear, this is the theme song. If you want the Japanese words, It's at the bottom
Everyone stopped and stared as Yumi's beautiful voice filled the room. When she finished, everyone gasped to see her energy level was off the charts!
Genki smirked She definitely has a chance. She then heard someone chuckle.
"Well, she could always get a career in singing. She is quite worthy of being mine." It was a man with platinum blonde hair a skin covered in markings. He was bragging loudly to a group of men.
Genki frowned in disgust. She addressed the crowd. "Those of you who won at least 2 out of 3 of the games, please continue through the door, the rest, get out!"
Well, how was it? Next one will be called "A run in the woods and a fight to the finish"
