Chapter 6: Vol. 1: Chp. 6 Newfound Abilities
Tanjo can be seen walking on a trail that leads home, excitement brewing in his body. "Man, wait 'till Nozomu hears this!" Tanjo giddily states, grinning brightly.
10 MINUTES LATER
A door can be heard being opened and quickly slammed shut, releasing a loud thud. Following the thud, quickly paced footsteps follow.
"NOZOMU!" Tanjo yells, now officially being home, "NOZOMU, WHERE ARE YOU AT!" Tanjo questions in a still yelling manner. Not gaining a response, Tanjo begins to search every room in the house.
1. Nozomu's Bedroom
"NOZOMU!" Called out Tanjo as he entered Nozomu's bedroom, lifting up the blanket on the bed. "Nozomu?"
Then he can be seen opening the bedroom closet, "Nozomu?"
2. The Dining Room
"Nozomu, where are you?" Asked a now confused Tanjo. Walking in the dining room, an empty dining table can be seen. No left out food or Mr. Nozomu, "What the hell?"
3. The Backyard
"Nozo-" Tanjo calls out as he walked through the back door, suddenly getting his feet swept under him and getting pinned to the ground.
"You get an F." Announces Nozomu, who can now be seen pinning Tanjo down on the grass.
Looking up from being pinned, he did in fact see the 'old man' towering above him during his immobile state. "WHAT THE HELL OLD MAN!?" hollered Tanjo, "I WAS SEARCHING FOR YOU!"
"Well, I found you first." Nozomu points out, unembellished.
"Now, what were you trying to call me out for?" Nozomu asks, now getting up from pinning Tanjo to the ground.
"Well, I wanted to tell you I used magic today!" Tanjo boasted happily, seemingly forgetting about getting pinned.
Now it was Nozomu's turn to be surprised, the usual stale look remained, but his eyes certainly widened. "You...used what?" Nozomu hesitantly questions.
"YEAH, for the first time. I used magic!" Stated Tanjo, oblivious to a now concerned Nozomu. "Granted, I didn't 'see' it since my eyes were closed, but I shot something at my opponent in class today and the next thing I know is that I won the fight!"
Nozomu stares at Tanjo, with a look of disbelief, "...So. You believe you used magic?" Nozomu questionably asks.
"Yeah, is it that hard to believe? I know I never used it before, but mostly everyone has a magic sense." Tanjo explains looking down, not aware of now enclosing Nozomu.
Tanjo started to feel a hand on top of his head, trying to look up. Tanjo starts to feel magic emitting around him. His aura starting to flare harshly.
".....Okay." Nozomu simply mumbles before pulling his hand away, making the magic coming out of Tanjo disappear.
"W-what just happened?!" Tanjo asks, now fully looking up. "I started feeling tingly and several colored lights started to shine!"
"I'm going to ask you to do one thing," Nozomu states, seemingly void of emotion. "Do. NOT. Show. Your. Aura. At. School."
"WHAT!?" Tanjo cries out, loudly at that, "WHY NOT, I FINALLY CAN USE MAGIC AND I HAVE TO HIDE IT!?"
Nozomu only sighed at first, "We'll discuss this at dinner." Nozomu then announced, now walking to the middle of the backyard. "Now, let me show you why I was waiting out here."
Nozomu now can be seen taking a fighting stance, looking like a fight is about to break out. "I want you to come at me," Nozomu demands.
"....Why?" Tanjo bluntly asks, raising a brow. "Is this some sort of training?"
"You may see it like that, but I'm merely testing something," Nozomu states with interest apparent in him. "Now, as I said. Come at me."
"O-okay?" Tanjo hesitantly agrees before starting to slowly run at Nozomu, picking up the pace each second. Then throwing a punch.
"Too slow." Nozomu mocks as he began to parry the punch, grabbing Tanjo's neck and restraining him onto the ground, A hand now gripping his arm and knee on the middle of his back.
"Argh!" Tanjo groaned in pain, due to being quickly restrained without even comprehending what happened. "What the hell was that, old man!?"
"fighting?" Nozomu thoughtlessly responds. "A fight which I easily won. Get up, try again." Nozomu orders.
"What! Why?" Bellowed Tanjo in a questioning tone, now getting up from the ground. Wiping dirt off of his shirt.
Nozomu doesn't respond, only blankly staring at Tanjo and waiting for him to attack.
"UUGGHH!" Tanjo whines before sprinting forward once more.

100 MILES NORTHEAST OF BURAUN
Two men can be seen walking through a forest, one wearing a gray eyepatch with dark green hair that reaches down to his ears, a sleeveless black shirt, and holding a long wooden stick that forms a Y shape at the tip.
The other man can be seen wearing a brown headband with a dark green imprint on the front, wearing a chained-like T-shirt, and also attains dark green hair. But reaching all the way down to his neck, with nothing but a ring on his ring finger in his possession.
"The sun is beginning to set." The shorter-haired man noted, "We should set camp here."
Then, the shorter-haired man stuck out the stick in his hand and watched as the item started to glow green, then. Faint rumbling could be heard. The ground in front of them shot out roots, taking shape of a mini wooden hut.
"Ok, Get in." Ordered the shorter-haired man. Just as they were about to enter, flames burst out of the air behind them, forming a humanoid look. Shortly after, the fire started to die down. Leaving a man with dark black hair and red sideburns standing over the now burnt grass.
"Hello, my name is Imawashiki. May I have a word with you two?"

2 HOURS LATER
"Oowww." Whined Tanjo, who's now laying on the ground with dirt and bruises covering him. "Did you have to go that hard?" Questioned Tanjo.
"Oh, quit being a baby." Nozomu mocked Tanjo, "besides, fighting like that will help you learn how to protect yourself."
"Can we be done?" Tanjo asks, his nervousness being evident on his features.
"I suppose so, I'm hungry anyway's." Answers Nozomu. Then they both walked back inside.
AT THE DINNER TABLE
'We're eating Unagi AGAIN!?' thought Tanjo as Nozomu set down their food on the table, "So..... What was that thing about my aura you said we would speak about?"
"Oh, right. One moment please." Responded Nozomu as he went to turn off all of the kitchen appliances used in making dinner. "Alright, so-"
"Have you ever heard about aura amalgamation?"

And that's the 6th chapter! I hope it was enough to make up for a short chapter last time. But if you're still confused with some of these concepts of magic, all will be explained soon.
Have a great day!
