Koji sat on the ground, his eyes fixed on the distance.
“Sitting here won’t help us get the flag,” he said.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKCKSXCn3O
“Logan’s facing off against Cassandra, but who knows if he’ll succeed? And Sakura and Kokoro... no one knows how strong that new girl is. [Sigh] What a pain.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRjddSWZPf
He paused, collecting his thoughts.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbURz8MdYi
“Her clan’s ability is love,” Ori Kaito explained. “She can make anything capable of loving fall deeply in love with her. With a single word, she can command them—but only one person at a time. I doubt she’s strong enough to control both Kokoro and Sakura.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8JyiJW2S5
“That’s some crazy power,” Koji replied, standing up. “Have a nice day, Ori.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcwt7wF5RM
As Koji walked away, Ori watched him disappear into the trees. Then, without warning, he vanished into a thick fog.
Unbeknownst to Koji, the Ori Kaito he had been with all along was actually a clone—and not the real one

Group Three and Five

“Staying together is our best chance of winning this,” Lia Matsumoto declared. Her rich, dark brown hair and amber-gold eyes exuded elegance. Standing at 5'6", she stood confidently beside Yui Nakahara and Shinji Inoue, forming a united front.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1UhUol4OA
Just then, James, Jane, and Naoki revealed themselves.
Step
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpHgyCZJsn
“Hand over your flag,” James demanded, flanked by his teammates. “You’re only three, and surrounded—we’ve each created clones all around. There’s nowhere to run.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7ItljVCik
Naoki, standing atop a nearby ridge, added, “In your current position, Lia Matsumoto, you have no right to refuse. Hand it over.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJsNbgmd9ue
Yui Nakahara smiled mischievously. “Why do you think we ventured this deep into the forest? We knew you were coming. Lia has been monitoring every single person in this forest—including Kokoro’s team, Cassandra’s team, and Renna’s—thanks to her Verdantia clan abilities.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6XHUkcX3A
As a member of the Verdantia clan, Lia could transform into plants and command them. Her connection to nature was unparalleled—she was born from a plant herself.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrhq71qVnV
“I, on the other hand, as a Petragoria clan member, can create golems,” Yui continued. Her silky, silver-blonde hair cascaded down her back, framing her bright sapphire-blue eyes. She stood about 5'1".
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41hTziTMLn
Shinji Inoue, an Anthropos clan member, could control and tame any beast. He also had the power to shapeshift into any creature he desired. The tallest among them at 5'4", his spiky jet-black hair was streaked with piercing emerald green, matching the sharp angles of his golden-amber eyes.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3DDS4hZLT
Suddenly, the forest began to rumble. Birds scattered into the sky as the ground cracked open.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5v1F3qlmSZ
Giant golems—and smaller ones—materialized, encircling James, Jane, and Naoki.
The predators had become the prey.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CWt7ynUUO
The sound of the golems echoed through the forest, their towering heads visible even from a distance.
SCREAM
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5hBMyNxO7
Defeated, James, Jane, and Naoki surrendered their flag.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ5SVRoHV5
“So, in other words, you knew we were coming?” Jane spat, her face twisted in anger.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6o8FpbEcn7
Yui’s smile widened. “Sucks to be you. You should’ve listened to Mason’s idea.”

The trio stood victorious, their bond and unique abilities proving unbeatable.

Mason vs. Cassandra
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq4W8xyI71
“As you can see, I obtained Logan’s flag before you could,” Mason said with a smirk. “My team may be weak, but I don’t need them. My goal is to collect all three flags—yours, Logan’s, and Leo’s.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn88fj7CwV
Cassandra charged at Mason with a flurry of punches, but he effortlessly blocked most of them with one hand. She retreated, unleashing a massive blast of flames. Mason casually deflected the fire using air manipulation.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOWeFwhbBw
A lightning bolt struck, but Mason was prepared. He manipulated the earth, summoning three boulders as a shield. The bolt destroyed them all.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrjIW2LvuI
“Petty tricks won’t get you anywhere,” Mason said, accelerating toward her.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ2Xb9GTk0
With a single punch, he sent her flying into a nearby tree. Cassandra rebounded instantly, using the tree as a springboard. She channeled Eno energy into her hand, combining all four elements. The enhanced punch struck Mason, breaking his bone.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWp45ZXP5x
The force of her blow uprooted the tree she used for momentum. Though Mason blocked it, the damage was done.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1WdkM8lfB
Holding his broken arm, Mason channeled Eno energy to accelerate his healing. His bone repaired instantly.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0K9UpCRdr
“You’ve improved,” he acknowledged. “Time to take you seriously.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFexeJU1QI
Mason clapped his hands, generating a harmonized convergence of air, earth, and flame energies. The resonant frequency vibrated the earth, releasing heat and causing Cassandra to bleed from her nose and mouth.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzYTpvMKjE
“What the hell was that?” she gasped, barely able to move.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcsuKF5NVr
As Mason prepared to clap again, Cassandra used detection and saw the shockwave carrying tiny molecules. She clapped back, canceling his attack.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLvyHUTpZE
“Impossible,” Mason exclaimed. “You learned that in just two attempts?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscXDTgab3t
Cassandra healed gradually, blew her nose to clear the blood, then created five clones that charged at Mason.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgv4qB3rP5
He dodged them all, blocking their punches. As Cassandra circled him looking for an opening, she leapt in with a powerful punch.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv680aWV2Xi
But Mason vanished—teleported. Her attack distorted and destroyed her own clones.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOYdUDzrbX
“Teleportation?! You’ve unlocked Dio energy!” she exclaimed.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaTj5cTiw1
Mason formed a blade made of Dio energy. With a single slash, he cut through the air. Cassandra dodged, but the wind slash tore through the forest, clearing entire trees.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QONsr3ZOd
She coated herself with Eno energy to block his strikes, but the blade inflicted damage each time, slowly wearing her down.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvcOF2ScDq
“I’m not done yet!” she yelled, refusing to give up.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvq2RQkMbB
Mason laughed. “You’re a mess. This could’ve been avoided if you just surrendered the flag.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iY3C7GHNE
She hurled a spear at him. He blocked it with a Dio shield, but the spear pierced through and left a scratch on his face. The spear vanished instantly.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIynehRMKi
“How did she break through my Dio shield?” he wondered.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGomP2j0otI
Cassandra stood firm. Using detection, Mason noticed Dio energy flowing from her body.

“Dio energy—the power of creation. A power every living being possesses, but only a few can unlock,” the instructor began.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtRMLzZ9s2
“There are four stages of Dio:

3. Second Tier Dio—rarer and more powerful

“With Dio, you can manipulate the elements just like with Eno, but at a greater scale. You gain enhanced speed, strength, teleportation, and advanced techniques depending on your Dio level.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8mY6M6qyQ
Drake raised his hand. “Even bring back the dead?”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgy7Ko3XHM
“Yes,” the instructor replied, “though there’s no proof. But since it’s the power of creation, it’s believed to be possible.”

Cassandra vs. Mason (Final Phase)
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlfhXA34c0
“Impossible! You’re nothing compared to what I can do!” Mason sneered, teleporting behind Cassandra.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbos6NTLF6H
She sensed him. As he struck with his sword, she dodged, grabbed his arm, and hurled him toward a massive tree.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyARsJw8CO
Mason narrowly avoided impact, flying past Renn Ava, Leo Shimon, Amit Rafael, and Gideon Noah—who were battling Ori Kaito, Akira, and Hesper.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF89FxLaNZ5
Mason cleared most of ori clones
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZB5MqZkUc
Ori seized the moment.
“Hey, Ori took the flag!” Renn shouted.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksEpqrFHZe
Ori swiftly created hundreds of clones, each holding a flag—sowing confusion among them.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUte0IOmI72
Meanwhile, Cassandra sensed Mason’s teleportation again. She teleported behind him. They both unleashed elemental attacks using Dio energy.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJ25w1xCok
The collision sent shockwaves through the forest, clearing the central area. Teams were blown away. Hesper shielded her face, and Leo protected his team with a massive boulder.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZAyqh5xvC
“Give up, Mason!” Cassandra shouted, her Dio-powered punch landing hard.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXNyXLXrzd
Mason crumpled, unconscious.
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW6jZmxEy5
“Finally... I’m stronger,” Cassandra whispered, collapsing beside him. “You were wrong. Ori Kaito had our flag all along.”

Cassandra groggily sat up in bed, wincing. “Ouch... that hurts.”
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffUlRunO1N
Hesper sat beside her, smiling. “You’re awake. You passed out—but we won thanks to you. We secured all three flags. I never thought humans could be this strong and it seems you’ve unlocked Dio, just at the right time "
124Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUPEmmjdQ6
Cassandra beamed with pride, feeling a newfound bond with Hesper. As exhaustion returned, she drifted peacefully back to sleep.
