~6 months later~
Akihito, Aimi, and Tukomi were in a rain forest surrounded by witches who had the ability to temporarily take someones magic and use it for themselves.
Akihito and Aimi were both behind a tree and Tukomi was hiding behind a rock "we should keep moving" Akihito whispered.
Aimi nodded as they both rolled over to another tree and hid in the tall grass, crouching near the witches.
Akihito looked down and saw the red line then tapped Aimi on the shoulders and showed her. "Where's Tukomi?" Akihito whispered softly.
Aimi looked around and saw Tukomi running fast from some witches.
"I-idiot" Aimi immediately stood up but Akihito quickly stopped her.
"Go over the red line. I'll meet you over there" Akihito ran towards Tukomi with his book out.
"Wind drive!" He pointed his hands to the ground then propelled himself into the air with the wind pressure.
He was airborne and was falling towards the witches "ahhh" he kicked one in the face then did A roll once he hit the ground "Tukomi run!"
Tukomi ran and saw Aimi sprinting to help Akihito but he tackled her down to the ground and dragged her to the next level.
"What are you doing?!" Aimi yelled in anger and frustration. She couldn't go back to the previous level so she was watching Akihito from a distance.
"I can do something..Akihito you can do it!" Aimi screamed loudly so that her voice could reach him.
Akihito heard her voice and began killing witches left and right. He began to get tired so he ran towards the red line "wind drive!" He blew himself past the red line and to the next level.
Aimi began to breath heavily then she walked towards Tukomi and slapped him directly in the face "what the hell were you doing huh?! We're a team. I was gonna help him"
Tukomi looked off then towards her "I wasn't gonna let you get killed along with him..I wasn't gonna let you die like chinatsu"
Aimi moved back and looked at Tukomi while Akihito looked at the both of him.
"Hey Aimi I am fine no worries" Akihito got up and walked towards her.
"You don't get it. I-If you were killed I don't know what I'd do" Aimi said to him as she looked over at him.
"But I'm not" Akihito responded "I'm not so weak to where I'll need your help all the time you know that? I've gotten stronger these past months"
Aimi began to get irritated "that's not the point! I love you and I want to protect you, you should know that"
"Well I don't need your protection" Akihito got irritated as well and the both of them looked at eachother, angrily.
"Hey guys..maybe this isn't the best time to be arguing..we made it to level forty in a matter of five months and it'll only get harder from here" Tukomi said to the both of them.
Aimi looked off as tears began to form in her eyes "alright fine..I won't try to help you since you're so strong and you don't need my help, I won't." She turned around and walked off, rubbing the tears forming in her eyes.
Akihito began to look at her worried as all of his anger began to fade away "Aimi-"
"Don't worry she just needs a breather. It's getting late anyways" Tukomi placed his hands on Akihitos shoulder while he said this.
"She's my girlfriend..don't you drag her like that again or I will kick your ass. Do you understand" Akihito looked back at Tukomi, as if he was staring into his soul.
"R-right" Tukomi moved his hand off and backed away some.
Akihito walked off and sat on a boulder, thinking about everything that has happened these past months.
He started to feel trapped since they've been in this world for so long and there's no way of getting out unless you're killed or someone defeats the king.
At this point there weren't many people in the world anymore. There were roughly 1,890 people in this world now and the rate at which people were disappearing was slowing down. But he couldn't help but wonder what was happening.
Akihito felt a sense of uneasiness as cold wind began to blow towards him. He got up and walked towards where he felt this funny feeling and saw Aimi being choked by a man in a king robe and a crown.
Akihito froze for a second then snapped out of it "Let her go!" Akihito noticed four people with cloaks beside him as he rushed towards the king "hellfire!!"
He swung his sword but one of the people in a cloak grabbed his wrist and punched him in the face, knocking him to the ground.
Akihito dropped his sword and looked up at the king "Y-you!" He stared at the king and began shaking in anger as his pupils narrowed.
The king let Aimi go, dropping her to the ground as she began coughing.
It began to rain and thunder down upon them as the sky was turning rather dark and being covered with dark and gloomy clouds.
"Aimi are you okay?!" He crawled over to her but one of the cloaked people kicked him hard in the stomach then placed there foot hard on his back.
Tukomi came with his bow and pointed it towards the people "let them go!" He was shaking and held on tight to the bow.
Another cloaked figure pointed there hands towards Tukomi and then the soil from the ground began forming over his body and hardening.
"G-get me out of this!" Tukomi yelled.
"Well if it isn't my son..how have you been Akihito? Or as your mom liked to call you..Aki" The king kneeled in front of Akihito with a smile. Akihito didn't care about what the king was saying, he was only staring at Aimi "Aimi!"
Aimi was screaming and trying to free herself "I love you Aki!"
"I-I'm gonna kill you!!" Akihito Began to move but then the king stood up and kicked him hard in the face, knocking him back down.
"No let him go please!" Aimi was screaming while being held tightly by one of the cloaked figures.
The king and cloaked figure began beating Akihito and Aimi violently "weak! Just like your fucking mom!" The king began laughing as Akihito was bleeding and beginning to feel dizzy.
He was stuck for a second, breathing heavier as his mind began racing. He wanted to kill the person who was hitting Aimi "Hellfire!!" His sword appeared back in his hand and there was more fire than usual.
The amount of heat on the sword made the cloaked person get off of him.
"You asshole!!" He ran towards the cloaked person and stabbed them directly in the stomach.
Everyone looked at Akihito surprised and the king was stunned for a moment.
Aimi was unconscious and Akihito stumbled to her, letting his guard down "I-I'm so sorry I-I'm gonna protect you just hold on" he began to tear up then the king walked to Akihito.
He grabbed Akihitos head and slammed it against a tree.
Akihito fell to the ground and couldn't move anymore. His body felt paralyzed.
"Aimi.." Akihito said softly as he reached out to her.
"Look at you..you're a bug just like your mother. No wonder she was so easy to take advantage of and kill" the king said as he got aimi and Tukomi.
The king placed them on the horse they had and they rode off "N-NOOO AIMI!!" He reaches out, trying to get up but he couldn't.
His screams were being silenced by the loud thunder and rain, roaring in the night sky.
Akihito started losing to much blood then soon passed out onto the ground.
