Chapter 19 - The Prodigy of Ziaglep

SHINJI opened his portal, and walked in his domain, there he saw Redhardt sipping his coffee. while they sitting in dining table along the other races. Redhardt explain why they are in the forest that time time.

A MINUTES LATER...

looks like shinji is satisfied about what happen that very night. And after that the two headed to shinjis office.

Shinji sat across from Redhardt. The table between them held nothing—no bread, no maps, no distractions. Just two men, two kings, facing one another.

Shinji:"Redhardt… I'll ask straight, and plainly more importantly—why do they call you king? You carry no royal blood. So why you?"

Redhardt's eyes lowered. For a long moment, he said nothing. Then, slowly, he exhaled and began to speak.

Redhardt's Backstory

Redhardt (quietly):"I was never meant to be a king. I was no heir, no noble son. Just an orphan who should have been forgotten. My name carried no weight—only shame."

He closed his eyes as memories stirred, raw and unrelenting.

Redhardt:"As a child, I was mocked, shunned. They said I was cursed, that I was born to fail. But while others laughed, I studied. I trained. I bled. Every test they gave me, I endured. Every trial meant to break me… only forged me harder."

His tone sharpened, conviction rising.

Redhardt:"When they cast me into the wilderness with no food, I returned stronger. When they set me against beasts, I brought them down. When they called me nothing, I carved myself into something greater. I was smarter. Faster. I learned to think, to adapt, to survive when no one else could."

Flowstate Revelation

The air around him seemed to shift—subtle, fluid, unpredictable. At times heavy as a storm, at others vanishing like mist.

Redhardt:"My Arcane… Flowstate. It came to me not as power, but as necessity. The world struck me, and I learned to bend. Enemies pushed, and I learned to redirect. Pressure mounted, and I learned to release it back, tenfold. Flowstate is not just my strength—it is the truth of my life. To adapt. To endure. To turn despair into victory."

His gaze rose, steady and burning.

Redhardt:"And when the throne was empty, they did not look for a prince. They sought a savior. Even kings before me, bound by blood and crown, acknowledged me as their equal. I became king not by birth… but by proving that no force in this world could ever break me."

Shinji's Response

Shinji leaned back, studying him in silence. The weight of Redhardt's words hung between them like thunder yet unbroken.

Shinji (softly):"…Then you are no ordinary king. You are the storm itself. A man forged, not born."

The morning sun climbed higher, its light spilling across Redhardt's face. For the first time, Shinji understood—the man before him was not defined by lineage, but by the endless current of will that had carried him through every trial.

Later that day, Shinji sneak at the A.M.A laboratory and he find the Academy Holographic Arcane Amplifier.

Shinji wants to analyze Redhardt's arcane via Academy Holographic Arcane Amplifier. And use the excess blood of Redhardt that night when he is in need of medical attention. Moreover shinji inputs the blood and...

[HOLOGRAPHIC ARCHIVE INITIALIZING…]

Arcane Codex: FLOWSTATE

Designation: Adaptive Arcane Resonance

Status: Active Conceptual Entity

---

[SECTION I – OVERVIEW]

"Empty your mind… be formless, shapeless."

Narrative Voice Projection:

> Flowstate embodies absolute adaptability. Unlike force-based Arcanes, it thrives on dissolution of form. The wielder does not merely participate in combat; they become the combat itself.

Scientific observation reveals a bio-energetic equilibrium cycle: Absorb → Redirect → Release → Dissolve.

In this state, muscle, mana, and intent converge into fluid variance, producing unpredictable kinetics.

---

[SECTION II – CORE ABILITIES]

Subroutine: Adaptive Motion

> Neural-muscular elasticity enhanced by aura-field feedback.

Result: Movements slip past prediction. Terrain, rhythm, and pressure no longer constrain the body.

Subroutine: Momentum Redirection

> Incoming kinetic or arcane force is absorbed into a resonance loop.

Stronger external push = exponentially stronger return discharge.

Subroutine: Crash Release

> Accumulated force collapses into a condensed impact.

Output resembles a tidal waveform: sudden, violent, shield-breaking.

Subroutine: Formless Presence

> Mana signature destabilizes into incoherent oscillations.

Combatants perceive alternating storm-like weight and ghostly absence.

Result: Prediction algorithms fail.

---

[SECTION III – WEAKNESS PARAMETERS]

Cognitive Disruption: Breaks concentration, collapsing flow-state resonance.

Overload Instability: Over-absorption leads to internal backlash.

Stagnant Conditions: Without motion or external force, Flowstate loses efficiency.

Pattern Exploitation: Intelligent opponents may lure predictable adaptive cycles.

[SECTION IV – SIGNATURE TECHNIQUE]

∞ Infinite Flow (無限流 – Mugen-ryū, "Endless Current")

> In this trance, body and mana achieve perfect resonance.

Each evasion folds into a counter.

Each counter folds into a strike.

Each strike folds back into evasion.

The wielder becomes an endless current: untouchable, unstoppable, inevitable.

---

[SECTION V – CLOSING STATEMENT]

> "Flowstate is not a weapon. It is a dissolution of self.

Not resistance, but inevitability.

The wielder does not impose will upon the battle.

The wielder becomes the very medium through which the battle resolves."

Shinji : "So that's how it is"
