Chapter 2: El Awake
I do not own anything from any media.
Opening 1: Fade - One Reason
Yami was waking up from his sleep. He noticed his scar bled out again, only it was minor.
'I've gotten used to the fact that my scar bleeds every day. However, the people around me may notice.' Yami thought.
He went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. Eventually, Miyabi woke up. She noticed a small bloodstain on Yami's bed.
'Tsubasa-kun must have been bleeding during the night...' She thought somberly.
Seeing the bloodstain made her uneasy. The appearance was though he was cut from a sharp object. Eventually, Yami got out of the bathroom, surprising Miyabi.
"The bathroom's all yours, Hotoka." He said without caring about the bloodstain.
Miyabi nodded and went inside to get ready for breakfast.
######
Sometime after eating breakfast in the cafeteria, Yami and Miyabi were at the classroom. Some of the students took notice of their presence. It made them uneasy as they could feel the stares.
'They ever heard about the term, 'privacy' these days...?' Yami thought.
Miyabi was very insecure and leaned on to Yami's back. This made him blush, albeit faintly. Both sat down at the desk at the far back from the right. They didn't anticipate the sudden contact.
'Uuuu... I was too close to Tsubasa-kun...' Miyabi thought nervously.
Rito's untimely appearance managed to get everyone's attention.
"Good morning~! I'm very happy to see that everyone worked out their Duos! Now you'll be sitting in Duos, too! Consider it a fresh start for you all!" Rito said in jovial manner.
She then noticed some of the students were in the same seats.
"Ooh? It looks like some of you are staying in your seats from the first day!" Rito commented.
Julie answered in response from the comment.
"Ja. We're highly compatible." She said without hesitation.
The classmates were amazed from Julie's answer. Some blushed in response, misunderstanding what she meant. They then turned to look at Yami, who had an irritated look.
"Hotoka and I have good compatibility in terms of combat and personality. I believe that's what Julie was implying." He said.
The classmates understood what he meant. They all felt ashamed in misunderstanding what Julie said and assuming the worst with Yami and Miyabi.
"In any case, now that your Duos are officially decided, we will move on the to the long-awaited mock Blaze battle: the Novgladius!" Rito explained.
Yami had his attention caught from the term. Miyabi took notice of his expression.
"You might be wondering how it works!" Rito said.
"Sounds like a battle of stamina if you ask me…" Yami commented.
"Bingo! Our silent student is very astute!" Rito teased.
Yami sighed in response. He didn't like the cheerful tone she was using.
"In any case, the Novgladius is a battle between Duos! The rules are simple! Eliminate every enemy Duo with your Blaze!" Rito said, showing a hidden smirk.
Yami felt a sudden killing intent from Rito. He noticed the smile. It was full of malice and sadism.
'I knew there was something wrong... There's more to this professor than meets the eye…' Yami thought.
######
Miyabi and Yami were training harshly for the Novgladius. Both showed extreme efforts, from leaping off of trees to jumping a meter high. Sparks flew off as Yami had his Blaze in now form. He was wielding it like a pole. By then, they had both of their weapons at each other's necks.
"It's a tie." Yami said.
Both fell on the ground, resting from the recent training.
"You're learning rather quickly, Hotoka. That's about 4 ties in a row." Yami said with impression.
"The training you made me do helped to become strong. I can't thank you enough for it, Tsubasa-kun." Miyabi stated.
"I'm doing what I can to make a teammate strong. The Novgladius will start next Saturday so we have to keep training ourselves every few hours." Yami said.
Miyabi was then curious of Yami, most notably, his Blaze.
"I've been meaning to ask... How come your Blaze has that unique ability to split into dual blades?" She asked.
"There are some things that you'll need to know... These are personal details entailed only to me, but I trust that you don't share them. First off, the Blaze is manifested from one's soul. Second, that scar I have which bleeds constantly... It was a fatal injury." Yami said.
Miyabi was shocked on what she heard. Hearing he survived from near death made her question him immediately about the wound.
"What do you mean it was a fatal injury?" She asked.
"When I received this injury, my heart was also cut. Miraculously, I was able to move, albeit limping while my blood gushed out. An ambulance noticed my bloodied state. The paramedics were able to save me." Yami said.
"How did they save you?" Miyabi reluctantly questioned.
"They did an organ transplant of my heart..." Yami said.
Miyabi gasped, realizing something from the info she had.
"W-who was the donor?" She asked.
"My late brother... He was also slain from the massacre. His heart now beats in me and his soul is now a part of me." Yami said, clenching a fist on his chest.
Miyabi was tear struck from what she heard. It made her feel terrible for asking such questions. Disregarding her shy behavior, she hugged Yami, catching by surprise.
"I could never understand much about you till now... I'm so sorry." Miyabi said, sobbing.
"I've endured this for a long time, Hotoka. I can never be the same person who would have a normal lifestyle. The massacre of the Amemone clan and the Tsubasa family division were what shaped me today." Yami said.
Miyabi held on to Yami closely. He could feel her body pressing on him. This had the effect of making him blush in response.
"Anyway, forget about my past. It's nothing more than a haunting memory." He said.
Miyabi refused to let go. She held on to him for some time till she stopped crying. Yami sighed in response, seeing she was an emotionally sensitive person.
"You can worry about this later on. For now, let's continue training." Yami said.
######
It was sundown. Miyabi and Yami were doing sprints at the track and field area. Both looked tired and were at their limits.
"We're almost done... Just one more lap and we're done for today." Yami said.
Despite what he said, Yami and Miyabi felt as though they've ran a marathon. They struggled to run as hard as they could. Eventually, they finished their lap. Yami was able to recover, but Miyabi fainted on the ground.
"Hotoka! Get a grip!" Yami said in surprise.
######
Yami was holding Miyabi in bridal style. She eventually woke up, getting his attention.
"Are you alright? You fainted back at the running track." He said.
"Tsubasa-kun..." She said, half-conscious.
By then, she realized Yami was holding on to her. This got her attention immediately.
"W-w-why are you carrying me!? Let me go!" She exclaimed.
"Easy there, Hotoka. I'm carrying you because we were training ourselves harshly. You collapsed on the ground so I'm bringing you to the infirmary to make sure everything is okay." Yami reasoned.
"B-but you also strained yourself as well. Please put me down." Miyabi noted, looking at his legs.
"Don't worry about me... I can handle this." Yami said.
Eventually, Miyabi stopped panicking and was more content.
"Feeling better?" Yami asked.
"Y-yes. I'm sorry about earlier." Miyabi apologized.
"Why are you apologizing? You did nothing wrong." Yami stated.
"I'm being carried because I collapsed... Thank you though." She said.
"I couldn't leave you alone like that... It would be very irresponsible for me to do that to my Duo." Yami said, hiding his blush.
The wind blew a soft breeze to them. Miyabi noted his hair that was gliding in the wind. She noted how smooth it felt.
"Um... Tsubasa-kun... H-how come you let your hair grow this long...?" Miyabi asked.
Yami was surprised on what she asked. With a sigh of humor, he answered.
"It's a physical reminder of my parents. The color came from my mother but the way it appears was from my father. I haven't cut it for a long time." Yami said.
"D-doesn't your hair get in your way though?" Miyabi asked.
"I often tie it up into a ponytail when getting ready for a battle. Most people question me the same way, Hotoka." Yami said.
Miyabi then looked away with a blush. The hair felt too smooth to her.
"I'm sorry that I pushed you too hard." Yami said.
"It's okay. I'm not good with academics or physical activities. I felt as though I'm dragging you down." Miyabi admitted.
Yami closed his eyes briefly and had a faint smile.
"Don't beat yourself up about it. Duos help each other out to get strong." He said.
"When I realized that I was compatible for Lukifers, I was happy. People who're capable of handling them are one in a thousand. Compared to the amazing people we've seen like Julie, Kokonoe-kun and Tomoe-kun, I'm not anything special." Miyabi continued.
"At first you weren't. However, you were able to adapt to the fighting style I taught you. Remember this, Hotoka. Talent has nothing to do with working on the basics. It's based on how one develops their skills in combat. For instance, you're slowly able to grasp your Blaze without a problem." Yami pointed out.
"Thank you, Tsubasa-kun." Miyabi said.
######
Yami and Miyabi were back on their dorm rooms for the night. They were sleeping after today's activities. However, their sleeping was suddenly interrupted due to a nightmare that was plaguing Yami. This woke Miyabi up.
"Tsubasa-kun... Oh no, wake up!" She said frantically.
Miyabi noticed his scar was glowing brightly. Blood began to gush from the scar. He was twisting and turning in his bed. Cold sweat was being excreted from Yami's pores as the nightmare was too horrific. He grunted and held back his screams.
"Tsubasa-kun! Don't let the nightmares hurt you! It's all a dream!" Miyabi said.
By then, Yami woke up with a loud scream. He was breathing heavily, feeling the shock of the nightmare. His body shivered, something Miyabi took notice of.
'My God... The nightmare must have been too shocking... What could've happened to him that made him like this?' Miyabi thought.
Yami's breathing didn't alleviate. His hair covered his eyes as they looked frantic. Miyabi held on to his shoulders to relieve him.
"Please don't lose yourself, Tsubasa-kun. I don't want to see you like this!" She said.
Yami eventually calmed down. He had a forlorn expression, knowing the haunting dream was a revisit of the tragic massacre.
'That dream again... It also made my scar bleed more than usual...' He thought, clutching his chest.
"Don't worry about me, Hotoka... I'll manage…" Yami said.
"But what about your scar? It was bleeding a lot." She persisted.
"The scar bleeds like that whenever a nightmare comes. It's a cursed wound." He said.
"Can't the scar heal though?" Miyabi said.
Yami shook his head in response.
"The scar will never heal, no matter how much treatment is used. It has become a physical reminder of that awful day." He said.
Miyabi remained quiet but was worried for him. Reluctant, she went back to sleep.
######
Several days have past. It was a Saturday evening in Kouryou academy. Miyabi and Yami were outside, waiting. The Novgladius event was starting.
"Now then, let's review the Novgladius rules!" Rito's voice announced.
The pair heard the announcement and were ready for anything.
"The event will last two hours from 5 PM to 7. The place and location: the north end of the school grounds! Fight face to face, drawing on your Blaze's unique abilities, or make it so that you have the advantage! Good luck, everyone!" Rito explained.
"The event has started. Let's be wary of the people we'll be fighting." Yami said.
"I understand." Miyabi acknowledged.
"I'll strike quickly, leaving them open. You can charge in with your Blaze to finish them." Yami said.
"I'm ready." Miyabi said with confidence.
By then, the announcement rang out.
"Okay, here we go! Let the Novgladius begin!" Rito said.
The clock tower showed the time was 5 PM. Yami and Miyabi dashed forward, summoning their respective Blazes. Yami kept his Blaze in bow form.
"Let's go!" Yami said.
The pair was running in a small forest when a female student wielding a thick zweihänder. Yami and Miyabi anticipated the ambush.
"Miyabi, aim your lance at the center of the zweihänder! I'll take care of the other Duo!" Yami said.
"No way... How did you find out...?" Another girl asked.
"Don't ask…" Yami said, stabbing the girl down.
Miyabi aimed her lance at the center of the sword. She then dashed forward and pierced through the sword. The girl wielding the zweihänder collapsed in pain.
"Blazes can harm the soul of a person. As long as one doesn't have the intent to kill, they won't injure the body. Shattering a Blaze can cause mental pain to the user." Yami said.
"We won!" Miyabi said with a smile.
"Don't get overconfident right now. There are more coming…" Yami said
Miyabi nodded in response. By then, a male wielding a halberd came forward. His partner was wielding a scythe.
"This is going to get rough. I have no choice but to use them... Tengan!" Yami said.
His eyes then changed into a crimson color. He then saw what his opponent was about to do. With quick speed, he intercepted the halberd's attack and took the male down wielding it. Miyabi was able to fight against the other male who was using his scythe.
'His Blaze is rather unique due to a scythe's swift attacks... I'll have to utilize my Blaze's weight to my advantage.' She thought.
Miyabi held her Blaze and swung the lance as hard she could. The force of it was strong enough to knock the male down, incapacitating him.
"Another win." Miyabi said, smiling.
"Yes, but they were using different tactics... Don't let your guard down." Yami lectured.
Yami left his Tengan active for some time till he deactivated them. The pair continued till they encountered two females wearing seductive outfits. Yami was briefly irked by them, evident by his veins bulging on his head before switching his Blaze to dual blades. In quick time, he created a reverse x-shaped attack. His swords went through them, knocking them out.
"I hate perverts…" Yami said, looking away.
Miyabi gave a soft giggle, hearing Yami's detesting of using seduction as a weapon.
######
Miyabi and Yami were resting near the entrance of the academy at the north end.
"Preemptive strike, adaptability, and distraction... It seems that any methods are used to ensure victory. Now I see why the Novgladius is used for... It's used as a training regimen in actual battles." Yami said.
"We managed to fight through some Duos, Tsubasa-kun. Let's be careful though." Miyabi said.
"I agree, Hotoka. For now, let's head inside. There should be some safe areas for us to rest." Yami suggested.
"Okay. Let's go." Miyabi agreed.
######
The academy building was too quiet for the pair. Yami knew there was a trap or ambush. Before Miyabi realized it, a chained dagger was suddenly shot out. Yami intercepted it by deflecting it mid-flight before it could touch her.
"That's a riotous way to start a fight, Tachibana-san." Yami said.
"I figured you were able to dodge it, but to intercept it... That's a different story." Tomoe said in surprise.
"We all have our surprises. I think I should endorse in revealing one of mine." Yami said, activating his Tengan.
Tomoe was shocked upon seeing his eyes change. She couldn't believe what she saw.
"I don't believe it... That's the legendary dojūtsu from the Amemone clan!" She said.
"So you know about the eyes... That doesn't matter though. You have to be quicker if you're planning to make a hit." Yami commented.
He then looked at Miyabi.
"Stay here. Judging by the way she wields her Blaze, it's most likely a modified kusarigama. Those weapons are troublesome for their all-range attacks." He informed.
Miyabi nodded and stood back. She watched as Yami was ready to fight. By then, they heard Tomoe laughing.
"It's been a while for me to say this, but I've been looking forward to fight you, Tsubasa-san." Tomoe said.
"A fight that I shall grant request... I like that." Yami said.
"Very well then... Tachibana-style Eighteen Arts: Tachibana Tomoe attacks!" Tomoe said.
"Practitioner of the Amemone clan's teachings and part of the subdivision group, Tsubasa Yami!" Yami said.
Tomoe threw the tail end of the kusarigama. By then, she willed the dagger to change its course to attack Yami from behind.
"Nice try. However, I also have a trump card on my side. Bloodstorm Revolution!" Yami said.
What Tomoe saw was a marvel to see. Yami made his bow shift from one of its sides, making both sides of the sharp end face at opposite directions. He then spun the bow so quickly, it caused a whirlwind to form. The force trapped the chained dagger, causing it to stab on to the ground.
"Amazing... You can even perform that technique like it was nothing." Tomoe said in amazement.
"Let it be known that bōjutsu, kenjutsu, martial arts, and kyūjustu are my specialties." Yami said.
"Well, my specialties are martial arts and kusarigamas." Tomoe said.
She then hurled the front part of the weapon. Yami managed to catch it with his bare hands on the handle. This surprised Tomoe, who didn't anticipate his reaction time.
"Catching the weapon was a risky move, but to pull that off flawlessly is no easy task." Tomoe complimented, hiding her shock.
Yami then dashed forward, holding the front blade of the kusarigama on his right hand. He had his bow on his left. Tomoe smiled as she willed her Blaze to disappear. She then dodged Yami's attack before the sharp edges of the bow could touch her.
"Reckless yet surprising. That was a gamble to charging at me with my own Blaze." Tomoe said.
"That's what I was hoping for... Eat this!" Yami said.
He quickly rearranged the bow in its normal form. Yami then pulled what appeared to be an invisible string. An arrow was shown, lowing brightly. He then launched the arrow, causing it to land near Tomoe's spot. The arrow was glow brightly before a small explosion occurred.
"That's something I don't want to directly contact... You have a strong Blaze, Tsubasa-san…" Tomoe said.
Yami switched to dual blade and began to overwhelm Tomoe. This got her by surprise, leaving her open. Before Yami could manage to attack, Aoi suddenly appeared, blocking the swords.
"Pretty quick to react, Torasaki-san." Yami complimented.
He then held the half of his Blaze on his left arm and threw it to Miyabi. She noticed the sword and knew what he was trying to say. She picked it up, ready to fight.
"Torasaki-kun, prepare yourself!" Miyabi said.
She then swung her sword on Aoi's Blaze, causing him to jump back.
"Tsubasa-san's Blaze is something. It even managed to push me back." Aoi said, showing his katar cracking.
"I can't continue in this fight against that Blaze... It's too powerful…" Aoi said in defeat.
Back with Tomoe and Yami, they were fighting fiercely. She then made the pointed dagger to ricochet on the walls. Yami was able to see where it was going as it ricocheted. Using his Tengan, he quickly dodged the dagger before moving his sword to Tomoe's neck.
"It's over." Yami said.
Tomoe conceded defeat and dematerialized her Blaze in response.
"Those eyes of yours are no joke... I'm utterly defeated from this fight." Tomoe said.
Tomoe and Aoi left the area. This left Yami and Miyabi alone.
"That was a risky plan you made, Tsubasa-kun..." Miyabi said.
"It managed to lead us to victory. I know what I was doing. In any case, we have enough time for one more battle." Yami replied.
Miyabi nodded and followed Yami. By then, they heard a male bloodcurdling scream. This got them on edge, but for Yami, it was a familiar sound. He didn't like it at all.
"A massacre... We have to hurry to where that scream came from!" He suddenly said.
Miyabi was surprised on his shocked expression and ran with him.
######
The pair managed to find two injured boys. They were near unconscious.
"What happened to them...?" Miyabi asked.
"Oi, are you two alright? Get a hold of yourselves!" Yami said.
By then, Rito came from the shadows. This got Miyabi and Yami on edge.
"Oh, Tsubasa-kun and Hotoka-kun." She said.
"Tsukimi-sensei... What happened here?" Yami asked.
"What happened here?" She asked in faked concern.
"I could ask the same question. We just got here." Yami answered.
"Those boys need to be sent to the infirmary. They took a lot of injuries." Miyabi said.
By then, a wave of killer intent suddenly flooded the area. One of the boys had enough strength to warn Yami and Miyabi.
"Behind you..." The boy said.
By then, they looked at Rito to see her with a crazed expression. Yami took notice of a large, serrated sword that had purple cracks running on its whole body.
"It was you, wasn't it Tsukimi-sensei...?" Yami questioned.
She then charged forward to slice them. Yami and Miyabi dodged the sword in the nick of time.
"So close! Any second later and you both would have been cut in two by my Blaze!" Rito said in a childish tone.
"I knew there was something wrong with you... The teacher we know is not what she is... You're a bloodthirsty one, aren't you?" Yami said.
"Exactly. I'm the one who did this to them!" Rito said, her voice notably deeper.
Yami was now angry. Memories of the Amemone clan were surging in his mind. He then noticed his left arm was bleeding.
"You willed your Blaze to harm others thanks to your intent to kill…!" Yami deduced.
"We have a smart one here. Quite an inconvenience that it can shatter objects but not humans!" Rito said with a sadistic tone, charging forward.
Yami blocked the attack with his dual blades. He had angered expression. His Tengan was already active.
"Ooooh... Nice eyes. They were from the Amemone clan that were wiped out. What a bunch of losers!" Rito taunted.
"What did you say...?" Yami said, pushing Rito back.
This surprised the teacher from the strength he showed. She jumped back, noticing a small nick on her Blaze.
"We already know that Blazes can kill people, and shattering them can damage the soul. I already had a few live demonstrations!" Yami spat.
"All in a day's work to fight people like you! It's even fun dealing with prodigies like you! Enough chit-chat and time to kill." Rito said.
This caused the pair to separate from the attack.
"Too slow!" Rito said.
She then stabbed Miyabi on her back, near the right lung. During the process, she almost shattered Miyabi's lance, causing her to collapse unconscious with pain surging in her body. Upon seeing the sight with his Tengan, Yami was revisited in his past.
"You can't save them. They were too weak and foolish."
"What a pity. The greatest clan of fighters have fallen."
Anger bubbled in Yami's blood. The next sight pushed his limits. Rito shattered Miyabi's Blaze, making her cry out in immense pain.
"I will kill you…" He said.

Rito turned and noticed a dark aura surging violently from Yami. She was shocked on what she was seeing. His Tengan was also changing. It was glowing a bright red before something happened. Two new black circles were formed on the outlined circle before they combined and morphed into a new shape. The shape of the black circles morphed into a four pronged star. This got the teacher in surprise.
"Don't tell me... You've become an El Awake!?" She said in shock.
"Die... DIIIIEEEEEEEE!" Yami said in berserk rage.
Rito was forced to run as the aura spilled all over the area. Yami pursued the teacher, relentlessly attacking. No matter where she ran off to, Yami quickly followed, destroying any obstacle in his way.
"Sheesh... I didn't get paid enough to deal with this kind of problem" Rito said.
She then willed her sword to extend like a snake, trying to stop Yami's relentless attacks. Her efforts were futile as Yami intercepted the attack and sent it back to Rito.
"Those eyes... They are not the same eyes I've seen... The pattern is completely different…!" Rito said in shock.
She then noticed Yami raising his sword and placing them back to bow form. He swung his bow with heavy winds, blowing Rito away. He then took aim and charged a dark arrow. This got her on edge.
'This is bad... If that arrow connects, I would get killed!' Rito thought.
Yami launched the arrow. Rito couldn't dodge it in time as the arrow nicked her on the left arm. Before she knew it, the arrow glowed brightly, creating an explosion. This made her nearly lose consciousness.
"What power..." Rito said in shock.
"Thanks for the lecture, professor. Here's your reward you snake!" Yami said.
He raised his sword and pierced through Rito's Blaze. The sword shattered, making her scream in pain.
"Lesson learned…" Yami said in a cold tone.
(Black Warrior OST ends here)
He then went to the unconscious professor's body and was about to stab her on the heart. Tomoe arrived just in time to see the berserk Yami about to kill Rito.
"Don't do it! You've already defeated her!" Tomoe said.
Yami looked at her with his Tengan blazing. This got her intimidated, seeing the pattern differently.
"My God... The Tengan has changed..." She said in shock.
Before she knew it, Miyabi regained consciousness, despite her being attacked and nearly having her Blaze being destroyed.
"Hotoka-san, are you okay!?" Tomoe said.
"I'm a bit weak but I'm fine. What happened to Yami?" Miyabi asked.
She turned to see the berserk boy stabbing Rito on her left arm. Blood spilled from the wound as he reveled the sight. Miyabi was scared but then she charged at him and hugged him close.
"Don't kill her, Tsubasa-kun! You're a better person than this!" She yelled.
Yami stopped and looked at her. He then clutched his head in pain, screaming. The dark aura purged from his body, knocking him unconscious.
######
Yami woke up and he noticed he was back in his dorm room. Miyabi was watching him, worried about his health.
"Tsubasa-kun! Thank goodness!" She said, overjoyed.
"What happened...?" He asked.
"You went berserk when Tsukimi-sensei went crazy..." Miyabi said.
This got Yami on his heart. He felt terrible, succumbing to his rage.
"You saw something very ugly of me during that time... I was...lost in my rage…" Yami said, covering his face.
"However, we managed to win the Novgladius." Miyabi said.
Yami still felt terrible. He then felt sharp pains all over his body.
"Ugh... Gaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!" He yelled.
"Tsubasa-kun! Rest for now! Your body was in tatters when you went berserk!" Miyabi said.
Yami was breathing heavily, fighting against the pain. By then, Tomoe and Aoi came in. They noticed him breathing harshly.
"Oh my... We need to apply the pain killers in him! He hasn't fully healed yet!" Tomoe said.
She then provided a pill and made Yami swallow it with water. The pain stopped but it was harsh for him.
"The medication will help him deal with the pain. His injuries will heal in a few days." Tomoe said.
Yami was barely conscious, but he stood up and walked to the balcony. He didn't want to face anyone right now. He then felt his scar was about start bleeding.
'That same nightmare... Always making me bleed to death when I least expect it…' He thought.
His thoughts were interrupted when Tomoe, Aoi, and Miyabi came to him. He was internally debating whether to talk or not.
"We've heard about from Hotoka... She explained everything." Tomoe said with a heavy heart.
"Then you two should know what I've become after what happened last night." Yami said.
"What exactly are you now...?" Aoi asked.
By then, the scar from Yami's chest began to pulse before blood erupted. Yami held on to his chest to stop the painful bleeding. This got everyone on edge.
"Don't worry about me... The bleeding will stop." He said.
The scar stopped bleeding but it got Tomoe and Aoi concerned.
"It's a cursed injury that I'll never heal from... The massacre of the Amemone clan was how I got it." Yami said.
He unbutton his shirt and showed the grievous injury in full display. The scar looked as though it was made from serrated blades, judging how wide it was. The scar ran down from his chest to below the diaphragm. All gasped who saw it.
"Oh my God..." Aoi said.
"Yeah... That time when I went berserk in the Novgladius, it made me become something. An El Awake, one who seeks revenge." Yami said, showing his fully mature Tengan.
Ending 1: AAA - With You
That's all from here.
To Keyslinger Roxas: This was a first that I heard about it. If you're thinking about it like that, he does look similar, but the hair is below waist length, not ankle length.
Note: The Tengan is like the Sharingan, but it doesn't have the tomoe to display. Instead, thinking of them as black circles.
