Fifty Percent.

A small hole opens on Ouroboros's body, it runs deep as if a planet sized spear had been lodged in him the entire time.

The hole appears inside the cage, "go on now, jump."

Ryunosuke turns to Ouroboros, "what the fuck do you mean, 'jump' I'm gonna die!"

"Just do it already," an invisible hand pushes on his back, Ryunosuke firmly drags his foot on the ground as the hand inches him ever closer.

"This isn't funny Ouroboros!!" He reaches behind him but feels nothing, although his feet are now planted on the edge of the nauseatingly deep hole.

He desperately pushes using his legs but his body doesn't move back even an inch.

"You can't be serious, can't you create a portal or something?!" Ryunosuke peers down the hole, the earth's surface reflects in his eyes.

He utters a yelp as the tips of his feet hover over the hole. "C'mon you're making this harder than it has to be."

"Just take the plunge, you never know what'll happen."

"And remember what I told you to do, Ryunosuke."

With a final tap on his head, Ryunosuke falls through face first.

Despite Ouroboros's body seeming neverending, Ryunosuke soon finds himself in the open. "I'm falling through space?! I'm gonna die!!"

For a moment he feels a serene calmness, his eyes look up and they glow in the grand blue light of this new world.

He feels all is well, this is how it should be, where he should be.

However that idea quickly gets swept away as he slowly plummets faster, the surface mere seconds away in an instant.

Ryunosuke grits his teeth and relaxes his body, as if accepting death.

For a second he notices himself, frozen in place like he'd been put in stasis, he collides with his body and it turns to darkness.

He opens his eyes, the air is dyed in a dim yellow hue, he's stands in the same spot as Ouroboros did, Ikari's body slumped down before him in a crater.

Ryunosuke's hand twitches and the yellow most starts to move away, like the air was purifying itself.

A voice speaks in his head, "kill the mages."

As Daichi points his wand at Ryunosuke, Ikari feels his life slipping away, he wants to reminisce about the past, but there's no time for that now.

Ryunosuke pulls back on his middle finger using his thumb, like pulling a rubber band.

He points it at Daichi and lets go, the sheer force in the flick creates a bullet in the air, it flies towards Daichi and easily knocks away his wand.

Daichi looks down at his right hand where he'd been holding it and quickly turns back to Ryunosuke, who now has his back turned to Daichi.

The names of his friends pop up in Ikari's mind, 'I'll be heading off first, make sure you all survive...'

Ryunosuke drives a punch through his heart and its beats go silent, as his head drops forward.

He stands before Ikari's lifeless body, his eyes dull yet serious.

'This always happens when it's too quiet, I start to remember all the times in my old life when it was quiet too.'

He remembers the day his little sister left them, her body laying motionlessly on an asphalt road.

Ryunosuke turns to Daichi, who watches in horror.

Daichi scrambles on the floor, trying to reach for his wand.

Before he could grab it, Ryunosuke clamps his right foot down on Daichi's left hand.

"Your right arm is useless now right? Just give up." Daichi scowls at him, his expression severe.

"There's a place I don't ever want to go back to, I'm sure everyone has somewhere like that, so you understand right?"

Ryunosuke stomps hard on his left hand. "This is for my sake, like you fought for yours."

"You're not normal! Don't think you can get away from this you crazy bastard!" Daichi squirms in pain when Ryunosuke digs his hand deeper into the ground.

"The mage association... Will hunt you and the princess to the ends of the world...! Until they put you down like anim-!"

He slowly raises his foot until it hovers over Daichi's neck, he stomps down again.

"He had a point, I'm not normal anymore, because I don't have to hold back for anything now."

"No more holding back for a social life I barely had, not for friends who didn't know me and the family I lost."

"Except..." His little sister's accident comes to mind again, "Himari."
