The Chapter starts as Subaru, and Zakuya’s fist hit each other.
When their fist collide it create a small white ball, that were growing, then suddenly it explodes releasing a strong gust of wind, and shockwave.
“What the hell, how strong was their punch?” Kura said as all of them watching grab into something to stop their self to be blown away.
“Those two are on a different level!” Kazuya said, while he was being press on the wall, by the shockwave.
“(So, I’m way below, them.)” Izuki said in his mind, while he was holding on his claymore. When the shock wave and intense wind end, they look where Zakuya, and Subaru, and they see that they were away from each other, and they were smiling.
“Flame Magic—” “Lightning Magic—”
“They still going?!” Arona said.
“Flame Flash!” “Lightning Flash!”
Both of them kicks their feet on the ground, and they dash towards each other, and they swing their sword towards on each other.
*Slash!*
After that they see Zakuya, and Subaru, and both of them was in their dash position, after they both slash through each other. Then Zakuya drop to ground, meanwhile Subaru gets on his knees, and then a blood come out of his mouth. Subaru wipe the blood on his mouth, and then smile while looking at Zakuya over his shoulder.
Meanwhile Katsu was pissed about Zakuya getting so much stronger than him. Katsu get out to train because he doesn’t want to get leave behind.
As for the others, when they see Zakuya drop to the ground, and a blood come out of Subaru’s mouth, Izuki, Futaba, Amber, Koharu, Eichi, Nino, and Itsuki went to them.
“Irumi!” Amber said, as she went to Zakuya.
“Earth magic: Earth Blessing!” Koharu cast her healing spell.
“You, okay?” Itsuki asks Subaru.
“Yeah, I’m okay, just a slight injury.” Subaru respond while he was smiling, and looking at Zakuya was on the ground.
“You sure?” Nino said in cold tone. “Can you stand up?”
Which Subaru respond by shaking his head.
“Can’t help it, here let me help you.” Nino said as she offers Subaru a helping hand.
Meanwhile Zakuya was still on the ground.
“Takamiya-san can you heal Zakuya?” Izuki said.
Eichi nods, and she cast the spell at Zakuya.
A few seconds Zakuya, move and he sit to the ground.
“You, okay? Irumi-san?” Futaba asks. “Are you okay? Irumi-kun?” Amber asks.
“Yeah, I’m okay.” Zakuya said as he look at Subaru, who was getting help by Nino, and Itsuki to stand up.
“(He’s really strong, I feel, it wasn’t all of his power.)” Zakuya said in his mind, while watching Nino, and Itsuki help Subaru walk.
“Hey, Zakuya, is that what you call did not get strong?” Izuki asks, while Kazuya was walking towards them.
Meanwhile Kura face Bojii, Berri, and Arona.
“Come on, we don’t have time to waste, those two are probably much stronger than us.” Kura said.
“Yeah, that’s why, where going to get strong. Stronger than them,” Berri said.
So right in then, they went out to train, and get stronger.
“I-I didn’t know I wasn’t really that strong.” Zakuya said, when he was asks by Izuki.
“What kind of respond is that?” Kazuya said. “—Of course, you gets stronger.”
“Well, there’s nothing much change to me, that’s why.” Zakuya said as he looks away as he talks the last two words.
“So, Irumi-san, any news about the abnormality in the school?” Futaba asks.
Zakuya look at Futaba after hearing her asks. “Sadly, There’s still no news about abnormality.” Zakuya respond, while looking down.
“Is that so, when are going back here?” Futaba asks, when Futaba asks, Amber open her ears.
“I don’t know, yet.” Zakuya respond.
“Is that so.” Futaba said, in sad way, but she didn’t show it to Zakuya. “Can you really, defeat an Abnormality?” Futaba asks with concern tone. Because she knows, how strong an Abnormality is.
“I don’t know, but I’m training, so when abnormality appear, I can put a fight.” Zakuya said, as he stands up. “And one thing, if I can’t, then I’ll just rescue all the people, nearby, and then deal with the abnormality.” Zakuya said, while looking in the sky.
Hearing what Zakuya said, Futaba was still concern.
“Anyway, Izuki, and Takamiya-san? Right?” Zakuya said.
“Eh? How did you…” Eichi said with confused tone.
“How did you know her name?” Izuki asks.
“Thank you, for healing me enough to walk.” Zakuya said, while looking at Eichi. “Well, I hear earlier that Izuki ask you to help me.”
“But—”
“Anyway, see you guys around.” Zakuya said.
“Wait, are you going back now?” Amber asks.
Zakuya look at Amber, and he respond— “Yeah, I need to go to that school tomorrow.”
“Is that so, then—” “Be careful, okay?” Futaba, and Amber said on the same time.
Zakuya look at the both girl with confused expression.
“T-then, I’ll go now.” Zakuya said, and then he flouts, and fly back to the apartment.
While heading back to the apartment that he rent, Zakuya was so exhausted, and fly low. When something on the ground caught his attention.
A person wearing a nun clothes or a nun were surrounded by a bunch people that has a head of different animal, and the person wearing a nun clothes was wounded.
“Huh?” Zakuya said in tired tone.
Despite being tired, Zakuya land behind some tree, and he listen to what they were talking.
“You got nowhere to run, it’s the end of you.” The guy with fox face said.
Meanwhile the person wearing a nun clothes look at them while slowly backing away.
“Your dead!!!” One of the guy with animal face yells, and they attack the person.
“(It’s over for her, I can’t fight that many people.)” Zakuya said in his mind, while his eyes is close. Then he heard someone’s voice who where shock of what just happened. “(Huh? What is happening did she manage to fight them alone?)” Zakuya said in his mind while his eyes still close, then he open his eyes. When Zakuya open his eyes, the first thing he see, is the head of the fox falling to the ground, with his sword Vegito out.
“(HuH?! Why I’m here?!)” Zakuya said in his mind, in confusion because he doesn’t know his body move on its own.
After that Zakuya look at the person who was wearing a nun clothes, and he see a cute young girl with silver hair who was about the same age as him, looking back at him. Then they hear a voice.
“How dare you!!!! You low life being!!!” After taking the guy attack Zakuya. Zakuya look at the guy who has a wolf face, then.
“Flame Magic—” Zakuya said as he get in his fighting position.
“Heat Slash.” After casting the spell Zakuya cut the head of the guy smoothly, then he look at the other guys, and he said—“Go escape, I’m going to spare your life, or are you going to fight me, even though you don’t have chance to win so what is it?” Zakuya said in serious tone, not showing them that he was so exhausted.
Luckily the guys were scared of Zakuya, and they run away. After that the exhaustion come out of Zakuya, and he slowly look at the girl.
“Are you okay?” Zakuya said in exhausted tone. The girl nods, and it made Zakuya happy.
“Is that so. Then tell me where do you live, and I’ll take you there.” Zakuya said while exhausted.
The girl told Zakuya where she live, and Zakuya told her to get on his back, so he can take her there, but the girl hesitate, she agree eventually, and as soon as the girl get on Zakuya’s back, Zakuya immediately feel something soft, and that sensation gave him the boost he need, and he fly, and he head where the place of the girl is. When they arrived at the place of the girl, Zakuya immediately bring the girl down.
“So where is your house?” Zakuya asks, as he stand up.
“It’s here.” The girl said as she walks towards the house. Then the girl stop, and look at Zakuya, and said—“By the way, my name is Aoi Karen.” Aoi said as she continues to walk towards the house.
Zakuya look at the girl as he remember the soft sensation on Zakuya’s back, it made him blush, but he shake his head, and he prepare to fly, and get back to the apartment he rented. When suddenly a woman who looks like Aoi’s mother come out of the house, and was crying.
“Aoi! Your father!” Aoi’s mother said while crying.
Aoi gets inside the house immediately, while it’s mother follow her. seeing Aoi’s mother cry, Zakuya was curious of what happened to Aoi’s father so he follows them. When Zakuya gets inside the house, he could hear that Aoi’s mother still crying while Aoi is going to crying while saying—“I’m sorry father. I couldn’t find the antidote for your curse.”
After that Zakuya enter the room where they are, and he see a guy with purple skin.
“Huh? Aoi who is this man?” Aoi’s mother sad while crying.
“I’m Zakuya Irumi. Aoi what happened to your father?” Zakuya asks while looking at Aoi who was on her knee, and was crying.
“He got curse, by some people, and we don’t know how to cure it.” Aoi said while crying.
As Zakuya hear the cure word, it come to his head— “(Does the Cleansing remove curse too?)” Zakuya said in his head. “(Either way, I have to try it.)” Zakuya said in his mind.
“Mind if I try something?” Zakuya said as he gets on Aoi’s side.
“Huh?”
“This thing might work. (Or not because I’m exhausted.)” Zakuya said in his mind while looking at Aoi’s father.
Zakuya takes a deep breath before saying— “Cleansing.”
After that Aoi’s father suddenly glow.
