<div class="floatleft">(https://i.imgur.com/rQQfvJ7.jpg)</div><strong>Sayaka Mizuki</strong><br/><strong>Username:</strong>Ayaka (https://i.imgur.com/HsRCY2q.jpg)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Kage's Mansion<br/><hr/><br/>For a moment, everyone seemed defeated, and not without any reasons. Players started to kill other players and took control of an entire village. If they weren't strong, surely their numbers should be impressive. In any case, there wasn't much for the devs to do right now. Or so Ayaka though at the moment, until Hakuro spoke up.<br/><br/>She heard his speech, and when their eyes met, she felt something strange for a brief moment. Something... reassuring. She wasn't sure if he was using some kind of genjutsu, but anyway, his words, full of purpose, gave her some encouragement. She couldn't help other players directly right now, but surely there was much to do, as Hakuro said. Leveling up, getting stronger, learning as much skills to help as possible... yeah, she could do that. The girl nodded, making up her mind.<br/><br/>After Hakuro spoke, the other devs agreed and split up in smaller groups, each with their own mission. Hakuro approached the girls and said:<em><strong>"Well, that's that. I'm probably going to end up being in one of the ANBU squads, though of course, if you two do not want to be a part of that, we can still form a group for power leveling and such."</strong></em><br/><br/>Ayaka didn't want that. Hakuro and Akane was the only people she could call friends in that world, and she surely need a bunch of friends from now on. But the girl kept silent, because Hakuro would be most needed in those squads. It wouldn't be fair to hold him down with two regular players. Ayaka looked aside, holding one of her arms, undecided. Until the boy hugged them together, with a sad smile, saying in a reassuring tone:<em><strong>"We'll get through this, and I'll keep you safe. I probably should have told you sooner, but my Bloodline Limit has a few secrets built in. One of them is an ability like the Sharingan's to cast Genjutsu from the eyes. We may be level one now, but we'll get there. Speaking of power leveling, there IS a mission we can go on. Its the Bell Test, one of the first missions Squad 7 went on. It gives ok exp, but if you trigger the secret built in, it gives an insane exp boost, plus some extras."</strong></em><br/><strong><br/>"Then, let's go!"</strong>said Ayaka with a smile, gently breaking away from the hug.<strong><strong>"I-I need to do something right now, anything! And... thank you, Hakuro, Akane. As long as we were together, I... I think we can save ourselves... and everyone else!"</strong></strong>There was a bit of confidence in her voice. More important, there was hope. Maybe it was better to focus on smaller tasks for the time being. And Ayaka had one small great task at the moment: getting stronger!<br/>
