Like a s.p.a.ce shuttle ready for take off, I made the flames push forward and forward despite the very heavy pressure on my back. It was like my back is being crushed to powder. Blood started to flow in my mouth that I can only taste blood in my mouth only and nothing else. But if if I want to get my out of this predicament, I had to get out of the way."Itazura!Dimensional Recall!"
Itazura disappeared and turned into a speck of light as I recalled her back. I can"t let her die in this place.
"Oh. tragic. If I were you, I would have used that familiar and scram my way out instead."
"I am not heartless like you, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d...Guhack!" I vomited blood in my mouth as I tried to oppose the force.
"Just give up kid, its not so bad for you to give up. Isn"t it?" Onizuka laughed maniacally.
I closed my eyes as I tried to made my focus into my palm. I had to do it...
"Hey man, wan"t some help?"
I abruptly opened my eyes and saw that I was back into the depth of my consciousness and in front of me is the Mana Tree and the Crystal Seed that is floating around me.
"Kid, that was a very miserable state you got there. Can you still do it?" the seed aimlessly floated.
"What is going on? Did I disappear in the real world and escape in this place?" I looked around and wondered what just happened.
"Idiot. Your real body is currently in the real world. Time is currently sealed there so you can still have time to react. But, do you want some help? If you want, I can unlock a bit of the Mana Tree"s potential in a jiffy in a price. So, wanna try?"
"Unlock a potential? For a fee? Can"t I just unlock it for free?" I haggled.
"Hey, kid, nothing in this world is free. If you want to buy food, you need money. Of course, in this world, if you want something, a payment is also necessary to. I am not forcing you this but you don"t have a chance to win against that guy. And also, its not necessarily a set back. I wont demand too much. So, what do you say?" the blue seed twirl around me like it was trying to sense my emotion.
"What is the catch? I am certain that it is not a good thing for me," I said to the blue seed.
"You can choose which is good for you. Don"t worry, I won"t force you on doing so. First, you can exchange a bit of your remaining lifespan into awakening the power. This one is permanent since a lifespan is precious little item for the mana tree so the awakening would impact more. Second, you can exchange a bit of your memories in exchange for an awakening. Although its also a permanent aspect, it will reduce for two ranks than the original strength you wish for which is to be fair. And the last one is that you will get deprived with mana for 1 week to supply a bit of your mana that you will use today. You will be bedridden for a week, though and the awakening will fade after the battle. So what do you say?"
I was taken aback. Three choices but all with bad sides. The first two are extreme and I am not willing to take it. Although it was said to be a permanent activation, I am not happy with it because they cost extremes like my own lifespan and memories which is something that is special to me. The other is not so extreme but it will make me bedridden for a week and the effect of the awakening is not permanent which is a bit dissapointing. However, that is fine, I will prefer temporary loss than a permanent one.
"I will choose the third option then. I want power above than the Onizuka. Will that be enough?" I looked at the seed.
"No problem. Let me activate it in a jiffy!"
SNAP!
As soon as I hear the snap sound, I felt the pressure once again in my back but I can also feel the power surging up in my body. Looks like the Mana Tree successfully awakened my powers temporarily!
I did not waste my time and applied pressure to the force and with a single struggle, I managed to break through from the force.
BANG!
The invisible force was broken and disappeared in the surroundings. Onizuka was stunned.
"What the f*ck did just happen?!" Onizuka made a step back. He never expected I would overturn the tables immediately.
Clenching my hands, I wiped the blood in the corner of my mouth and glared at Onizuka.
"I have no toleration to narcisistic people like you who are so egocentric. You are going down today!" and my temper erupted causing the red flames in my hands turn blue.
Onizuka frowned but he didn"t look at me with fear, his lips turned upward and his eyes seems to go sinister.
"Heh, I like it, I like it! You will be going down sooner or later then. You want to fight me? Lets begin!"
And before I can react, he suddenly disappeared from my vision and appeared in front of me in just a split second.
So fast!
But I have undergone training by Moonlight like this. I have no intention to be killed by that. With quick prediction, I stepped back before doing a back flip. But to my surprise, he disappeared again. Before I can see where he might have gone, I felt a painful strike hit my back.

I was sent several meters away from him but I don"t plan to get cras.h.i.+ng to the ground just yet. With the welling power in my body, I made an ignition in both hands and point it to my back to propell me a bit and avoid hitting the wall. With the recoil force of the flame, I was propelled once more to Onizuka.
Of course, Onizuka is already waiting. His hands was covered in black mist. I guess his element is darkness and from just the looks of it, he was about to hit me with it as I rush forward to him. However, did he ever think I would be so dumb enough to face his attack head on? No way in heck. This is not a sport, this is a battle. I had to beat him up!
Onizuka"s eyes is focused on me when I sent him my ball pens in Telekinesis. Although it made a bit of toll for me to use flames and Telekinesis power at the same time, it was worth it. Onizuka did not expect that it when two ball pens" points rushes towards him in frightening speed. He has no choice but to defend. As soon as he did that, my eyes glowed. An opening!
It was too late for Onizuka to notice my approach and when he was about to look, I already released a fiery fireball, big enough to burn him to cinders.
