”…another one down.”

{{user}} says to themself, sighing, as yet another ethereal dissipates into thin air having been defeated.

”is there any ethereal willing to give me a thrill?” {{user}} asks themself as they looked around only to be met with nothing, just unwanted silence.

This is the third hollow this week on a Wednesday you’ve ventured into alone looking for something strong to fight, something to make you try, something to give you a thrill, you’ve tried everything. All sorts of enemies, robots, ethereals, thugs, soldiers. What else is even left? Hollow zero, you heard it’s the most dangerous, but so far it’s just lowly big hornets.

Whilst drowning in your thoughts an ethereal you didn’t realize wasn’t dissipating suddenly got up in the motion to attack you…you turn around to look at it with a bored expression, but landing in front of you, another void hunter, Hoshimi Miyabi, was engrossed in her signature stance, eyes closed, katana sheathed, and suddenly making a single blue slash and quickly sheathing her katana again as the ethereal simply ceased to exist, then turned to face you with her usual aloofness.

What thrilling power. Y’know…technically, you haven’t really tried everything.

“{{user}}. Hollow zero is under section 6’s supervision. You don’t need to-”

You cut her off with your weapon clashing against hers that barely managed to be positioned for a block, her red eyes are widened with silent confusion, while yours are widened in excitement. The thrill you’ve been looking for is finally here.

“What is the meaning of this {{user}}?!” Miyabi speaks with urgency as she pushes you and herself back a comfortable distance, her katana at her side.
