Chapter 10 - How Are You Going To Protect Everyone If You Are Weak?

"You are…"

Shinka grin weirdly toward the person who just appeared

"I see…"

"Alright…I'll allow it…"

"I'm looking forward toward your contribution…"

"Kai…" Said Shinka while thanking the guy that just came from behind Arashi

He suddenly hit the top of Arashi head showing his willingness

"Don't worry, I'm gonna train this kid into the strongest in just a moment…" said Kai confident

"Right? Boy…"

Suddenly Kai turned toward Arashi with a weird smile on his face that it almost gave a creep toward Arashi

But Arashi could just nodded his head in agreement as Kai is the only person willing to train Arashi in this hard time

"Yosh! Well then, we should start your training without further ado!!!" Said Kai as he carried Arashi with just his left hand

"W-wait!!! Right now?" Shout Arashi confused

"Of course! We shouldn't be wasting any more time!!!"

"B-but at least let me prepared a bit!" Said Arashi struggling to make Kai to let him go

Just as Arashi being taken away from the spot by Kai. One of Shinka servants whispered to him

"Is it really fine if we let the boy trained with him, Sir?"

"Yeah…In fact if it was him, I can see the improvement in Arashi even though he is going through hell for training with that monster…" Said Shinka grinning

"How I pity you…"

"Arashi…"

Kai stopped for a moment and then raised Arashi with his arms so that he could face him

"Don't you want to save her?" Ask Kai out of sudden

Kai question shocked Arashi for a bit that he had to stop and think about it for a moment

Just as Arashi is thinking, out of sudden Kai hit Arashi on the head

"So Slow!!!" Shout Kai as he heads bump Arashi

That hit almost knocked Arashi unconscious but for some reason he managed to stay conscious

"You are taking thing too slow!" Shout Kai onto Arashi face

Arashi couldn't hold it any longer

"Of course, I'm taking my time here!!!"

"I'm trying to think of the best solution toward the question."

A look of disappointment can be seen on Kai face as he slowly put Arashi down

Again, out of nowhere Kai hit Arashi so hard that he almost got thrown out of the place

"Just what the hell is wrong with you?!" Shout Arashi as he slowly gets up from the impact

Kai just looks directly at Arashi as he slowly gets up and out of sudden, he disappeared from Arashi sight

"Teleportation?"

Thought Arashi as he tried to scan the place for Kai next attack

(No… He's fast!)

Just as he managed to figure Kai ability, he tried to defend himself with his sword but it was futile as Kai already managed to land a hit on Arashi face

"Heh…So you managed to react to my speed huh?"

"That's impressive…" said Kai as he licks his lips

Arashi once again gets up from the ground but this time he is ready to take on Kai another surprise attack as he had the determined look on his face

That look that Arashi gave to Kai gave a bit of excitement toward him that he chuckled a bit

"Fine..."

"Let's test your ability right here and see if its worth it training you!" Shout Kai as he readied himself

He then stretched his legs behind and starts leaping off the ground toward Arashi

Arashi readied his sword to try and take Kai attack head on but to his surprised Kai disappear again and now he is lost on where Kai might attack him

Just as Arashi trying to track Kai presence, he suddenly got hit with a heavy punch toward his stomach

"So weak…" said Kai in disappointment

"Just how are you going to protect everyone if you are this weak?"

Kai continued to hit Arashi in various place that it leaves bruises all over his body

"If this is the only thing you are capable of, how do you think you're going to save that girl?"

Kai words suddenly shocked Arashi as he instantly activated his shield

Kai is taken aback when his fist couldn't hit on Arashi

"That's an impressive trick." Said Kai smiling while swinging his fist up and down

"Why didn't you use it earlier?" Ask Kai concern

Arashi looks back toward Kai face while turning down his shield

"Because it's one of my weaknesses…"

"I relied too much on this shield on my battle before that I didn't realize its just slowing me down and my enemy used it against me."

Kai just stands there while rubbing his chin indicating that he is thinking

Just then Arashi out of sudden bowed his head in front of Kai

This action of him surprised Kai as he slowly back off

"Please…I might be hot headed and stubborn but I seriously wanted to be strong!"

"That's why…"

Just before Arashi could finish his word, Kai stops him as he gently patted Arashi head

"Why are you begging?"

"Didn't I told you that I'm going to train you from now on?" Said Kai while rubbing his neck in awkwardness

Arashi is a bit embarrassed by what Kai is doing but he slowly turn his head up

"I thought you might not want to train me after realizing that how weak I am…" Said Arashi in a disappointing voice

Hearing that from Arashi, Kai just let out a sigh

"Its not your fault for being weak you know…"

"Anyway, isn't that the purpose of training you?"

Arashi looked up to Kai in confusion

"If you are strong then I don't have to train you at all right?" Said Kai raising both of his shoulder

Hearing that Arashi face turn a bit red out of embarrassment

"Well then…"

"I might be inexperienced but I'm in your care now…" Said Arashi while bowing his head toward Kai

Kai just smiled softly at Arashi attitude, for some reason Kai is reminded of someone whenever he looks Arashi

Probably that's one of his reasons in training Arashi

"We should continue your training tomorrow…"

Said Kai as he slowly back away

"Eh?"

"Why don't we just continue the battle?" Said Arashi excited

Kai just smiled at Arashi enthusiastic in becoming stronger

"You better get some rest…"

"You're looking way too bad to train right now."

Said Kai as he pointed at injured Arashi who can barely stands on his feet

"Get some rest."

"We'll continue your training tomorrow…" said Kai being supportive

Arashi just nodded his head indicating that he understands Kai instruction

Afterward Arashi and Kai parted their way, while on the way to his room.

Kai stumbled upon someone

"I see that you are getting closer with that boy…"

"Did he remind you of someone?" Said the person

Kai just chuckled by the person question

"Well, he certainly did remind me of someone…"

"But that kid is too naïve that I felt like I'm seeing a two different person…" said Kai smiling

The person felt a bit disappointed hearing Kai explanation that they suddenly hiss like a snake

"Well, I hope you managed to turn that kid into something…"

"After all, it seems that the boy could be the key toward our victory…" said the person hissing toward Kai

Kai could just let out a sigh after hearing what the snake like person just said to him

"You don't have to remind me that…"

"I know my role…" said Kai under his breath

Arashi as he went back to his room rest up a bit before realizing something in the corner of his room

It's Rikka bow…

He remembered that he brought it inside his room after getting back from the human world

"Rikka…" Said Arashi under his breath as he looks at the bow

He then decided to pay Rikka a visit at the hospital to see how her condition has been.

The time he arrived at the human world its already midnight and the hospital seem to be closed

But Arashi had another planned as he slowly sneaks into hospital.

Avoiding all contacts with the doctor and nurses, Arashi manages to arrives on Rikka emergency room

He carefully peeks inside the room to see incase there's another person inside

When he confirmed that nobody was around

He sneaks into the room and slowly walks toward Rikka

"Hi…" Said Arashi greeting unconscious Rikka

"I'm sorry that I couldn't see you earlier…"

Arashi chuckled

"A lot of things happened…"

"And now my troubled have added…" Said Arashi in playful tone

"But it's fine…"

"If it's about saving you…I'm willing to do anything…" Said Arashi slowly toward Rikka

Just as Arashi is making a conversation with Rikka.

Out of sudden a sound of tapping feet could be heard by Arashi

He quickly stands up and look over toward the source of sound. Weirdly that sounds came from behind the window making it a bit suspicious

Arashi then slowly tried to approach the window and open it.

But to his surprise nobody was there

In facts the building has no balcony or edge, so there's no way a normal person could be standing behind the window

Just then Arashi looks up toward the rooftop and he founds a mysterious girl sticking on the side of the wall

"What the?" Said Arashi in disbelief
