Welcome back, reader.

It is great to see you have made it this far into the story. Thank you for staying with us. It is much appreciated and there is still much to unfold within the chapters ahead. For now, let us return to the major arcana, shall we?

Behind the arcana, we will present four new characters and their roles, analyzing their roles and how it best represents them. (Reminder: Not all 22 cards will be represented.)

The Emperor, Card IV. The Emperor's card represents a position of high power and leadership. Having experience in authoritative manners gives much confidence in one's own abilities, especially managing their emotions to reach a specific goal of being a good leader. Overall, the Emperor possesses structure and solidity, displaying the power one has over their own life.

Original character Jin Kurosawa represents the Emperor Arcana as he has many leadership skills as Student Council President and Vice President of the light music club. He, as a person, is all about structure and knows what must be done to attain it. For the sake of his school, and his club, he must cast his emotions aside to reach his goal. Though, in the case of Adonis, we can see how this may backfire. The reverse meaning of the Emperor's card is said for the individual to tend to behave like a petty tyrant, which we see through how he treats his underclassman. However, soon you can possibly find that the leader is there to also serve his people. Jin has his dreams and aspirations and looks to see them come to fruition. He may hold many faults, but it does not mean those flaws cannot be mended.

The Hierophant, Card V. The Hierophant's card represents the relationship between rules and structure. From one's perspective, one must follow the natural law of things. On the other hand, one mustn't follow the natural law blindly, hence creating their own rules along the way.

The Rabbit Hero: Mirko represents the Hierophant Arcana as she takes Adonis under her wing, bringing him into her world to learn of the ways a Pro Hero must maneuver. Still, a few rules may be bent considering she likes to do things more so her way. Even though the Hierophant usually mirrors the Priestess as a male figure, Mirko still possesses much wisdom and structure to proceed with this role.

The Chariot, Card VII. The Chariot's card represents growing maturity and self-control. Also, it symbolizes victory and freedom. It connects to one's drive and determination to reach that high achievement - not just by thinking alone, but by heart and spirit as well.

Original Character Silas Quarta represents the Chariot Arcana as he is driven by many things - one of those drives being his best friend, Adonis himself. He looks to further and improve his ways as a Pro-Am Hero to continue his mother's legacy whilst creating his own, and to protect everyone, especially the ones who mean the world to him. Furthermore, he wants the best version of himself when walking into the future. One may say he could be the one to help usher in our main hero, too.

Strength, Card VIII. The Strength's card represents well, strength itself - inner strength to be exact. It is all about the fortitude of the heart and courage, being able to persevere no matter the obstacle. Instead of handling the situation with brute force, one controls it with much care and compassion. It also represents the creative energy that needs to be released and recognized.

Original Character Erika Kurosawa represents the Strength Arcana as she always handles the Light Music Club with much care. Even if it does not seem like it, every decision she makes is thought through. One of her choices involves grouping Jin and Adonis together to build a bond. She displays that compassion and gentleness towards the young men as they grow together. When it comes to her creative energy, she releases it through her singing and many other accolades that will be revealed later in the story.

Another four great figures have been introduced, joining the Arcana list and relating to Adonis's journey. We are at the halfway mark, but of course, there is much still in store. We can't wait for you to see where this story unfolds.
