My eyes slowly open as I look to my left and write seeing my friends and classmate in a worse shape than I fell. A doctor and our homeroom teacher walk in and in a blinding pain in my gut I struggle to blurt out " w...wha...what...what happened?" "You just need to rest up I stopped your internal bleeding and your ribs need healing, you could have torn your major organs, you're lucky to be alive." Said the doctor with a caring mother tone. "Now get some sleep!!" Yelled our homeroom teacher.

After resting for a week me and the rest of my classmates are recovering nicely and are able to work around.

After the teachers stop looming over our heads Muzashi and I run into the forest to train. Muzashi activates his gauntlet and dashes at me and I charge up my plasma gun and fire at him. Muzashi punches through them and I dodge his punches. " Hey Saoichiki, let's go all out we need to get stronger to save Subaru from the shadow General." Said Muzashi with determination in his eyes. "Arrrgh PLAZMA GRENADE!!" I shouted as I fired off my strongest attack." " Arrrgh GRANITE BUSTER!!" Shouted Muzashi as he blasted his gauntlet like a rocket fist. "BANG!!" Our attacks clash with each and a typhoon of purple and brown energy circulates around us, and slowly we are both pushed back from the force, and gradually our feet begin to levitate off the ground and.... "BOOM!!!" A blinding light consumed us both and within the explosion equivalent to an atomic bomb our bodies drop from the sky in a blazing inferno.

After we wake up our homeroom teacher scolds us, and we are sent to Takanawa to learn what it means to be strong. We have arrived at Takanawa, and we are meant to meet someone, but we can't find them. We walk through the city looking at every store and restaurant and we see a little boy who looked lost and I decided to help him and after getting him to his father we keep on walking and... " Arrrgh!!!" We hear a blood curdling scream and run to the scene and in the literal blink of an eye he is right behind the perpetrator and when I see the person it's the little boy I saved earlier and his father. As the man was about to leave i run and grab his hand and with a widely open eye I shout, " how could you do that to a child they were innocent people?!!"

The man clad in black clothes turned around and to my surprise it was the legendary "Katsuyu Shirayama" the strongest Shadow slayer. With a straight and unyielding expression on his face he says, " and why do you care?" And suddenly, he says " wait are the both of you Saoichiki and Muzashi the hunters I'm meant to help train?" When I heard that sparkle begin to appear in my eyes as I enthusiastically say, " Yes we are, but you still haven't answered my question." Back to his stoic face Shirayama sensei says, " I was able to sense the shadow remanence in those two as shadows are able to use humans as a living vessel, and feed on their negative emotions to regain their power through absorbing our life force, and only high-ranking soldiers can use that ability."

With a shocked look on my face, I blurt out " wow they have so many abilities so that must mean there is a chance Subaru has already been taken over, and since we don't have the necessary strength to know the difference we can't win." Then Shirayama sensei says " well that's why you're here to learn from me I'll teach you all that I know"

We leave the battle scene with Shirayama sensei and go off to train.
