"Now call your Ginken and stab Carissa through the middle of her chest." "Whaaaaaaaaa!?!" "She won't die, she'll just bind with your Ginken... then it will extend your Ginken's power." Tim worryingly looked ahead. "You... still-" "Yes... go ahead... I trust your friend... besides if I die... it wouldn't matter. I'm dead anyways!" Tim took a sigh but nodded. "As you say, sorry if something goes wrong." Aura appeared once the Ginken came growing from the blue aura black knife stabbed through Carissa's chest once she felt weirdly, she transformed into a tiny glimpse of white light when bursting inside of the Ginken, feeling an unknown power, Tim immediately sensed that something else was binded with him. "Did... it work?" "It worked... however, it will take a few days for the power to increase... meanwhile, you should rest and prepare... soon... we're going to head for the Zero World!" The two of them smiled. "Yeah... and I don't plan on losing that challenge either..."

[The next day after]
Tokyo City - Mainichi no kimochi High School - Tuesday, 3:25 p.m.|
Tooru and the other students were rather unsure. "It's a bit strange, Tim and Carissa haven't been in school for a while" "Yeah, I agree, but why?" Chapple wondered when scratching his head. "I think we should go check on them, maybe something happened, because, I wouldn't expect them to stay at home, especially when the final exams are on their way, besides if they don't nail these exams, they won't be able to finish the year.. I'm worried, there has to be something, they gotta have a reason" As soon as Tooru spoke, she was stopped by somebody in front after accidently hitting a human's stomach. "Oh... sorry. I didn't mean." "Tim? W...what? Seriously where were you, you've missed the final exams! You gotta hurry, you have one last day if you don't finish them quick. you'll fail. and nextly! Where is Carissa, she rarely misses school?" Questioned Tooru when surprised, Chapple with his body standing besides continued and wondered. With no proper answer, Tim quietly spoke. "Carissa. she, transfered to another school and her number was changed for myself. I'll do these exams today." "W...what, but she never mentioned, that, you mean to tell me she isn't coming back, they moved right at the final exams?!" Tim followed up with a sighing nod. "And soon, after exams, I'll be gone for a while as well sorry!" "Oh come on! What are you people noodling about! Everybody is going to end up leaving this school for some strange reasons! Speaking of reasons, what's yours, where will you be going???" Tooru and Chapple both questioned Tim at the same time. "... Sorry cannot say.." With no further speech, Tim walked past them, once moving for the classroom and encountering his teacher. "Excuse me, Mrs. Henna? Do you think, I can still write these exams today?" "Huh, Shinkaku Tim? What was going on, you and Carissa missedbexams. and don't give me any lies, alright?" "Sorry, don't worry. Carissa moved from Tokyo City and myself I- I had an extremely bad fever through Saturday until today, do you think I can quickly write those exams, at once?" "Huh, but..., even if you do, you couldn't possibly finish them until school's closement?" "I promise you, I'll finish before school closes" "Well.. if you insist then sit back and here you go, these are the final exams that you must finish." She showed Tim a small tower of paper when Tim nodded. "Thank you!" Quickly sitting up, Tim reached for his pen and begun his exams. Chapple and Tooru quickly walked away. "I hope he'll manage" Tooru worryingly sighed. "Don't worry, if I know Tim, he's got this, no way he'll fail because of one sickness" Chapple gave a polite smile once the two of them exit the school, together.
[After several hours of hard work]
Tokyo City - Furō Street - Tuesday, 8:05 p.m.|
After arriving home, Tim immediately realized that he was once again, not alone. ("Of course. what did I expect") Tim quickly grabbed his bag and dropped it on the chair. "Ayuka, I know you're in my closet, come out!" Loudly calling in unamusement, however, Ayuka quickly stepped from the kitchen. "Hm, not actually, I wasn't hiding myself, in fact, I knew you'd come home a bit late... so I decided to make something which could help you relax a bit." Tim confusingly looked with a head set up sideway. "What do you mean, 'make something'?" Ayuka blushed with her head quickly facing aside. She gathered some of her courage and quickly proceeded her walk towards the kitchen refrigerator. Tim followed her steps, Ayuka opened her door and dragged out a tray. "I... may or may have not made something for you, I felt bad, because you haven't eaten for several hours, I thought you'd be hungry, so I quickly cooked up a short meal I hope. you won't be upset with it...." "What, you, cooked? For me? But, you said that-" "Don't get the wrong idea! I just felt like doing something, anyway. I hope you'll like it..." She gently dropped the tray onto the counter. "It's called, Bubbly Meat it's a special dish from Zero World that most of the people enjoy it, it's Quite a trivia nowadays." Still fully confused, Tim reached for the plate. Ayuka giving him one more nod and allowed him to taste it, he dipped the fork through the meat once feeling the soft and gentle overflow of the honey. "This, looks so delicious. I hope it's really good because, I wouldn't expect you to actually make it good for somebody like me..." Once biting into the meat, his eyes became surprised. "So... how.... does it taste?" Quickly reaching for fork and knife, Tim begun eating at incredibly high speed, Ayuka gave him a severe look with bunch of blinks. "I'm glad... you, like it..." "Ayuka! I know this is much! But! But! Your cooking is the best! Will you please, help me out with cooking!?" Tim called, once looking forward after grabbing Ayuka's shoulders and shook her back and forward. "Nope! No way! This was once and never again!" Crossing her arms under her breasts, Ayuka quickly looked to the sides. "Oh come on! Please! Your food is fantastic! Better than my mother's cooking ever!" Ayuka slightly blushed after his words and looked away. "You know... not many people say that my cooking is good." "Are you kidding!? No way, your cooking is better than any other, master chef! I swear, I have never ate something this delicious! Please, will you do it?" Tim encouager as Ayuka thought inside of her words shortly. Soon after that, Myles arrived home and opened his door. "Well, look, look, look. One friend doesn't visit, the other female friend comes. what's this, you two seem to be getting a bit handy!" After Myles sighed, Ayuka and Tim proceeded with a look at him, no words or speech, after both of them became extremely red in face, they quickly stepped away. "No! There is no way we're getting handy!" Two of them immediately shouted. "Come on, come on! Relax, I'll give you some time free, then you two may reach further ships.." Before completing the answer, Tim immediately reached for Myles sleeve and pulled him with a sprint inside of Myles's room. "I swear you're dumber than you look!" "Oh, is that so? Why?" Myles followed up with a questioned expression. "Because, come on, everytime I come at home, there is always, really always a person inside" "Hey! Excuse me, but I never allowed her to stay inside of this apartment, besides. what took you this long to arrive home, I was quickly worried that you might of have got lost." ("Or even killed..") "Relax, I told you that we today had our final day of school, so we went to visit South Korea..." With confused expression, Tim quickly scratched his hair. "Oh, I forgot sorry..." "No problem, hey Tim, think you could help me with several subjects for school? I have a small problem with Math...." Tim's eyes became squiggly when he scratched his hair. "I should be able to help you math at the low grade.... don't ask me for future years, because even I struggle with it... but what do you need?" Myles grabbed his backpack and quickly proceeded. "It's for the next year we were given several previews of what we'll need to learn" Tim checked into the small notebook when Tim reached with his arms crossed behind. "Sure, I'll be able to do so..." ("That out of the way. I wonder what that girl is doing, I still haven't heard her name.... maan..")
Tokyo City - Fujikage Street - Tuesday, 8:30 p.m.|
The girl, immediately produced a greater quality of speed, once she launched herself over the rooftops and twisted her spinning body in the air, with a severe dash and quicker turn, she sliced with her dagger directly through the Demon's neck, once killing it and knocking the Demon's head from the attached body, it disappeared in blood vessels and quickly, right after, the girl slid on the floor. But suddenly, the girl quickly found what seemed a red key. "Huh? What is this?"
To be continue...
