"I have an intuition about these sorts of things. Call it a gift. A wonderful blessing, if you will."
"I assure you, the only reason we will have to lock up Miss Yukine is if she attempts to reveal the secret to others outside of the Mirager community. I trust she has more prudence than that."Then, Araki speaks up. So does Haruka.
"I'd like to know too. I....resonated with her Mirage. Last night, when our weapons collided, I could feel it resonating with me. I can even give you a name - Mordred." "Mordred? That...is interesting. A moment."Freydis saunters over to a nearby keyboard, booting up the database of known Mirages and updates one of the unknown Mirages.
? ? ? x00 - UNKNOWN DESIGNATION
MRD-x01 - Mordred - ACTIVE, LOCATION UNKNOWN
NGH-r11/NGH-x04 - Nyghthowl - DESIGNATION FALSIFIED
K0N-Q3St e100/KQN-x05 - Conquest - DESIGNATION FALSIFIED
Satisfied, Freydis turns back to the party.
"Mirage Resonance is not an exact science, even with so many people working on it. I have been working on Mirages probably since long before some of you were born. Please forgive me for the lecture on Mirages I am about to give. It's important for context. I assure you. Previously...I would say there were two types.
SONG-types are older Mirages. Attuning only once to a single, specific Biorhythm waveform. Those are the Mirages wielded by the Fire Soul Agency. Collecting and studying them is part of my duties, as is recovering them from people who intend to use them for ill uses. EUFON-types are newer Mirages, created from slightly cruder forms of alchemy. They can bind to multiple Biorhythm waveforms. The EUFON Initiative uses them as they have the largest stake. In Japan, there are four known teams of Miragers, two of which are present today. The Kazanari family funds the third, and the fourth works with the Mishima Corporation; we don't tend to cross over with those two teams, but they do share information with us as per an agreement.
As you know, EUFON-type and SONG-type Mirages have different requirements. Only a small percentage of humanity can use SONG-type Mirages, because SONG-type can only bind to natural Biorhythm emitters; what we call fold receptors or phonic receptors. Only a small amount of humans today have enough Biorhythm emitters to use SONG-types naturally. EUFON-types can bind to artificial Biorhythm emitters, which is what Quartz Fold Serum can create, and why more people can bind to them.
Recently, we identified a third, unknown type of Mirage. These Mirages have a special affinity for what we call False Biofold Waves. These waves are harmful to humans and mess around with Biorhythm. Mirages don't tend very well against these waves in large, concentrated amounts, though in smaller amounts the Biorhythm output of a Mirager can destroy them. Which is good, because Amanojaku are made from them.
Recently, we identified four of them; Mordred, Nyghthowl, Conquest and a fourth, unknown Mirage that was detected last night. I don't know very much about their construction, only that they can withstand False Biofold Waves where normal Mirages can't. That was what the Mirager you fought last night was using. Imaeda, if you will, please let me have a look at your Mirage later. I'd like to conduct some research using it and a shard of Mordred that Azusa was so kind to recover last night."
"It was a pretty big one, too. Nago did some work."Freydis takes a sip of her coffee, then continues.
"Now as for why your Mirages resonate. Now some people are born with Biorhythm waveforms that naturally match others. They generally tend to be siblings, but sometimes they are strangers. Beings with naturaly matching waveforms who are not biologically related tend to be drawn to each other, naturally tend to understand each other better and generally end up with very close relationships. Such is the scientific explanation for love at first sight and soulmates."At that, Tsubasa almost does a double take, and tries not to look at Hikari. Hikari, for her part, turns a little red. Freydis, if she notices this, doesn't react.
"A consequence of having matching Biorhythm waveforms is that both wielders can violate the normal rules - that a Mirage can only be wielded by one person it has matched to, at once - and both Miragers can use each other's Mirage. Both Mirages reach out to the other as if they were matched together too. In theory, this means, say, Misaki and Miyuki could use each other's Mirage, or Miki and Minase could each each other's. But this kind of resonance would only be possible where your waveforms match.
That kind of status can also be reached through close collaboration together, where upon being constantly in close relationships with each other, your Biorhythm patterns begin to coincide. But that's rare unless you've been close friends for a while. Minako and Azusa, for instance, have waveforms that match not naturally, but through having been friends and lovers through the last ten years.
But generally speaking, only siblings or very rare stranger pairs have Biorhythm wave patterns that match so closely their Mirages resonate with each other."At that, Haruka simply looks shocked.
