Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

*Tommee Profitt - I Know Your Secrets (ft. Liv Ash) *

"Jina is a warm and kind girl, truly, a good soul. She also made a huge improvement jumping from A+ to Star Seven. 

"The third member of the Cyber Elites is Sara. She's a Japanese girl who is a resident of Canada and is quite kind and cute, yet gets scared and tricked awfully easily. 

"Luckily, she has a friend called Bella who always keeps her company and ensures no one's making fun of her… other than she herself of course.

"In any case, Sara is a true genius, or rather what's called a hidden talent. She has improved her rank from A+ to Star Nine. And her skill lies in manipulating the winds, giving her a great advantage during battles!

"It's quite a shame that Bella, her friend, was one of the two people who have lost their powers. With how weak her personality is, Sara was feeling rather down after learning that truth

"Even though Bella herself was trying her best to act normally and laugh around her, even encouraging her to forget about it, it didn't make Sara feel any better. Poor girl..

"Hm, I think that even Rave would be sad to know that Bella had suffered such a fate. After all, the two have met once or twice and they had some smiles between them. I remember Rave had saved the two of them once from a giant hydro octopus or something...

"Anyhow, the fourth is Vlad. He's a brilliant boy who did pretty well during the tournament. However, he's pretty creepy and always angry for some reason. Well, I still chose him because he's powerful." Kayla shrugged to herself.

"His power lies in Mana Control too, just like Sara. But his specialty is creating mana orbs and throwing them on his opponents, exploding them. 

"He can even use his mana like a long range laser gun, or even as a thruster to propel himself and fly short distances. He's a crafty one, I'll give him that.

"Not to mention that he showed some exceptional talent and also reached the rank of Star Nine, just like Sara. Maybe it has something to do with both being Mana Controllers, hm? Somehow this reminds me of Rave…

"In any case, the fifth is Shin. Shin is a very close friend of mine and from my analysis, he has a crush on me, hehe!" Kayla giggled like a little girl while covering her mouth. "Well, I have Raven's face, so… *sigh* 

"I remember when Raven visited the Elite Classroom for the first, and last, time, he decided to play a prank on her and got punished quite hard. Maybe he fell in love with her since then, and after seeing my face it transferred?

"Anyway, Shin is also a talented one. He jumped from A++ to Star Eight. And… surprisingly, or maybe not, his power includes Mana Control...

"His power lies in his hydro blades that are quite sharp and flexible. It's like the saying, calm water can cut everything, even mountains! But…" Kayla's face was suddenly filled with immeasurable sadness. 

"It's such a- *sigh* his poor older brother, Alek, who was an ice-type mage, died while undergoing the transformation process. I can't help but feel guilty because of it...

"Although, Shin acted as if everything was okay when he learned of that, saying that it was his own choice, the idiot could not stop his tears from flowing down…

"Well, let's go on to the seventh; and that would be Amira. Amira is one of my best friends too, such a precious girl!

"Contrary to the previous elites, she's not a fighter, but rather a healer! She once helped heal Shin after taking a blow from Rave, and she was pretty good. I can't imagine her healing powers now that she's a Star Six!

"Speaking of Amira. When we first met her in the Elite Classroom, she had her friend that was akin to her older brother, Albedo. 

"Albedo was such a kind guy… yes, was… I can't believe I killed two of my close friends…" saying that, she suddenly stopped and slapped her face in order to regain her focus once again. 

She knew that ultimately, everyone knew what they had signed up for. But it's a pity that she can't forget the scene where Amira heled Albedo's dead body and cried like there was no tomorrow...

*Sigh*

"Seventh is Haruki. That dude is shy, quiet and rather mysterious, but he's so kind and as harmless as a little kitten. I still remember how he hugged Amira after Albedo's death and tried to comfort her as much as he could.

"With that being said, even though he's kind, he's not weak. No, definitely not!

"This Haruki has some strange powers that can control one's movement! It's like he can control the space around them, or the vectors of space, the physics of the surrounding area! 

"He's pretty overpowered. And I wish I was joking… this dude reached the rank of Star Thirteen!! Yes, how can that be? Even though Gaia is only a rank Star Nine.

"If I had to guess, I'd say that he accumulated the energy from a different source. Which means that there's something inside his body that's helping him!

"The eighth member is Jericho. She's a passionate young lady who's actually twenty three years old, which is pretty old for the class. To be fair, she's the oldest in the class. But age means nothing in front of power.

"Unlike typical rankers, she does not attack or defend, she's a scout; or rather, a hacker!

"She's personally my favourite elite because of her unique powers. Hehe, if everything goes well, I'll make her my apprentice. After all, it's like she is made to receive my upgrades!

"Out of everyone, she is the most compatible with my Cyber Matter, and she is surprisingly now ranked the highest. She has jumped all the way from her previous low rank into her Star Fifteen now!!

"It's a pity though, even though she is ranked this high; the highest on the planet, she doesn't specialize in fighting. Well, it's not like she can't be of use; her powers are extremely valuable, and coupled with her newly added Cyber Core, hehe….

"Well, last on our list we have Tony. Tony is a cowardly idiot, who's extremely afraid of being hit, that I only chose because of his terrifying ability.

"Back when I fought against him during the Tournament of the Elite, he had used Casualty Manipulation, which is similar to Scott's special ability.

"Although I had hoped this idiot would be a good addition, his rank only went up to Star Five. Clearly, he's not the best. But oh well, I'll have to use him anyway. Hm, if I match him in a duo with Sara, they could be the angels' biggest nightmare…"

After finishing talking to herself, Kayla nodded quietly to herself as if confirming something in her mind. "I guess it's true, it's refreshing when you say things out loud. 

"What's more, it's useless to use Thought Acceleration since I don't really need any more time; there's nothing more for me to do…"

Under normal circumstances, Kayla would focus on saving as much as possible. But now, she doesn't have the power to help the Terran Army. She has already given her orders and organized everything to be ready for the approaching calamity, all she's got now is time and silence...

"Oh, I wonder what I should do with my other clones. The one that was guarding the Cyber Elites during their transformation has become useless now, and I do need my energy… but I guess I'll keep it, you never know when sh*t hits the fan… uh-"

Suddenly, and to her surprise, a blur of red flashed besides Kayla. 

"Lady Kay!" Calcer's voice was tender and his smile was wide. 

Hearing that, Kayla narrowed her eyes as she analyzed him. Under her gaze, Calcer felt suddenly naked even though he had a heavy armour on. This undoubtedly made him remember a recent incident that gave him goosebumps…

"Lady Kay…" he was rather confused and could not help but mutter.

"Hm, I'm just making sure you're not corrupted with that evil power," Kayla said. "Do you like blood?"

"Uhm," Calcer nodded without hesitation. "But worry not, I was originally a blood imp so it is my true nature to have high affinity to blood. The technique I practiced didn't affect my mentality in any way. I am still me, hehe!". Saying that, he smiled like the enthusiastic kid he always is, making Kayla breath in relief.

"That's good, what's your power level now?" She asked curiously. Everything depended on him being able to hold back the Star Twenty angel after all.

Since Calcer is stronger than her, and as of yet has not used his mana, she could not determine his rank.

"Hehe, I have become strong! I'll finally be able to help my Mistress!" He smiled happily while displaying a trace of his aura, enabling Kayla to appraise his rank...

"Star Eleven!" Kayla was surprised, and not happily so... Her face was dark in dread, as if she was facing her biggest nightmare!
