Steel Feather Under the Blazing Sun

In the year 1867 of the Papal Calendar, the sea fog on Mitial Island is wrapped in liquidambar, and the daily life of the black-haired boy Shoursi (Mikale) is full of subtle warmth - His fingertips were dipped in flour to stir the sugar cubes in the hot milk. The light from the church bell fell on the tips of his dark hair, like stars sewn into ordinary days. It wasn't until the Theocracy's steam airship broke through the fog that he understood that "the blood of the Cassel family" was a shackle: if he wanted his sister to live safely in Mubilea Castle, he had to step into Avalon in Aluzalem and walk into the testing ground where the Sky Exorcists were hidden. There was no smell of milk there, only the cold sound of brass gears twisting the nerve connections, and the dark red steam wrapped in the legend of "Sky Exorcist" flowed through the explosion-proof glass. In front of twelve mechanical statues, he touched the outline of his father in the illusion, but a hot steel feather was implanted in his back - a power that could overturn the battlefield, but also a curse that would gnaw at his heart every time he used it. The eyes of the Holy Law Society were like venomous snakes entangled in his black hair, and the sharp pain that exceeded 90% of the synchronization rate clenched his nerves. The neuron device in Eddie Brun's hand flashed red, and the cruelty under the glory of the Theocracy was revealed in the blazing sun. Michaele finally understood: Steel Feather was never a gift from the gods, but a way of survival carved out of the gap between flesh and machine by quenching his thoughts of "protecting his sister". He wanted to bring these pair of steel feathers under the blazing sun to withstand the erosion of the Sky Expulsor, and let everyone who used "bloodline" as a pawn see clearly - what floated in his dark hair was never a fate at the mercy of others, but an obsession that even the steel feathers could not extinguish, and wanted to bring warmth back to his sister.
