Alexis quickly dropped to the ground with a disappointed face, she seemed to been given some sort of spell that constantly made her tired. Her view became foggy and unable to keep her mind awake, she collapsed to the ground, with nothing else seen, Rez was gone and everyone who fought him, was injured, the duelists who escaped never came back and with such conclusion, another two weeks passed.

Tokyo City - Furō Street - Wednesday, 3:05 p.m.|

Because the two weeks passed, the next month also arrived, now it finally became July. Ayuka also brought Codey and Myles back to the Planet Earth without Tim knowing just yet. Luckly for them, Ayuka gave permission for them to stay at Tim's place, well at least for Myles... Codey however waited with the Soul Callers, still not fully giving trust to him. "So, um.... can I know, what exactly is Tim trying to learn. everything was so quick-pasted, that. I don't understand" But Codey was ignored and shaded away from knowing. The door opened once Ayuka came running inside with a bag. "Sorry for being late, I brought some food, do you think I can take it to Tim, he probably hasn't had proper food in for a while." Ayuka answered while showing the bag. "Of course, go ahead, but when trying to talk, be calm and gentle anything can misdirect at this state, he is too focused on his training." Gintoki explained, Ayuka nodded and walked to the room in front, closing the door behind. But Sayori was still away from the area, so were the rest of Tim's friends. Ayuka ran down the stairs once entering the deserted area. She was worried she might do something wrong, but Tim already reacted. He gave a look towards Ayuka once she became surprised. "Ayuka" Tim stood up confused. "What took you so long, is Myles safe?" Ayuka was still confused. "....Uh, yeah yeah, he's fine... but how did you know I entered." "It's simple. the meditating gave me better idea of how to sense somebody's arrival. But I still cannot enter my minded world honestly, it's making me worried that I may not be able to enter it like this." Of course, while talking, Tim put on his finger on the lips. "Well, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it soon, but here, I know you haven't had proper food for days, so if you didn't mind, I.... bought and brought you some..." Tim was still confused and reached for the bag, a precious smell came flying from the bag. "Why are you saying you bought it, I clearly smell it, it's your cooking.." Ayuka became ashamed. "It doesn't matter, but this training of yours will surely become annoying to me, if you keep guessing things" Ayuka said with unamused face and flinching eye. "I suppose this is what you wanted me to try back then, Bubbly Meat is it, something with a name of that." Ayuka nodded. "Thank's a lot! I know, if I said, you're amazing, you'd probably get annoyed, so I won't say it... oh who am I kidding, you're amazing! Thanks!" Tim sat down once Ayuka dispelled her being unamused. "Sure..... if you say so... I'm going to leave you be now" "Wait, hold on!" TIm quickly interupted her walk away. "What now?" "Why have your brought Codey?" "You can sense that too?!" "Well. yeah, I sense that his energy is somewhat different than the others, I am not as highly trained yet to know what it is... but what actually dwon there in Zero World?" Ayuka sat down on the rock besides Tim and reached for her phone between her chest, Tim immediately became red and turned away." ("That. was. not... comfortable at all") "Look at it...." Ayuka showed a photo to Tim which made his eyes surprised. "Wait, I've seen him before, isn't that the guy who entered the-" Ayuka immediately froze Tim's mouth when also followed up with freezing the screen, the ones who were spectating became confused and worried. "Hear me out.... don't tell anyone, based on my expectations, this guy you saw it the one that you just mentioned, I haven't told that to the others, but this guy you see on this photo claims to be Codey's father. Codey has partially Demon Blood, so he is known as the Half-Demon, of course, we still are not perfectly certain, but based on detections and you mentioning the senses, it may be truth." "Half-Demon?" Tim asked in confusion.

"Yes! Half-Demons are a human species whose blood is different from any ordinary human or Ginkenian, they do not hunt down human's flesh, however, they have gigantic emotions and their acting could potentially make them aggressive, of course, Half-Demon are human, but have different senses, this is why you may be sensing differently, their senses are normally slow, calm, aggressive and highly problematic. Half-Demon's blood is what gives others different senses. Half-Demons can either be more skilled and powerful than normal Demons, or they can also be much weaker. Of course, if they are Half-Demons, they also have different transformation stages, simmilar to Ginken states and stages. their body is much more defensive than any others and take less damage than us, Ginkenians. And, these stages of them can awake based on their emotion, anger, sadness and hatered, these emotional stages can make Half-Demons, our enemies, this is why they are killed as soon as their body is to be figured out...."

"Seriously, that's Quite problematic why have you brought him here though?" "Look, I know this may look weird and strange, but I feel that Codey could actually become our ally, he is much different than other Half-Demons, he's not aggressive, of course I cannot judge that, since I barely saw him in action, but I have this strange feeling, that he isn't like anyone else and another reason is to keep him away from that Demon 'God', his name is Rez if I haven't mentioned." Tim listened carefully while taking a bite into sandwich. "I see." Tim looked at the sky while trying to think of something. "But don't worry!" Tim gave a smile. "It may be quite early. but you're my friend. there is this promise I wanted to make to you." Ayuka confusingly turned towards him as her ponytail waved behind her hair. "It may feel a bit odd, but don't get any other idea." "Promise? What do you mean, you don't have to give me any promises" "I know.... actually, you know.... it can wait, I'm still not perfectly ready..." Tim gave a smile. "...I had this urge to ask you." Tim faced Ayuka calmly. "What exactly is your reason to work thus hard, I know it's not for power... but.... it's a bit strange, you took this chance and it could have ended up in a bad situation, what if these 'Soul Callers' were actually there to kill you, would you still take the chance?" "Sure I wouldn't.... but my reason to do this, is because Tooru, Chapple, Rachel.... they all trusted them, so if they trust them, I trust them too.... even you, Ayuka, you seemed to have had a clear mind on who to trust..... and the other reason is so I could get stronger, especially to protect the ones I care about, that is my priority.... even you, it hasn't been long since I've met, but meeting you really gave me opportunity to learn many things from you, trust me, this is my promise I wanted to tell you.." The moment, Tim said those words, Ayuka became quite surprised in a calm way. "Here, take a bite..." Tim reached towards Ayuka as she looked at the bubbly meat, a food that was able to be packed in a cold bag. Ayuka made a sigh, smiled and reached for the loaf, inserting the bubbly meat inside. "You're really strange, Tim..." She took a bite once both of them made a gigglish ascent, they looked for the sky too. "By the way. When are you planning on melting that ice?" Ayuka became unamused and turned towards the ice. "Oh.... right...."

To be continue...
