Kuragami and Kiyoshi are looking for new clothes. They walk out the shop and Kuragami has a whole new outfit. He still has the white scarf on though.
They both start walking to the Bullet Train Station and get on a train.
"Hey Kuragami. On this road trip, I'll help you work on some things to make you stronger. For example I noticed you dodged a light beam without looking at it during the Shorai Skirmish."
"You saw that. It's hard to explain. I sort of saw a live vision of it as it was coming, a vision of it hitting me and a vision of how I can avoid it at the same time."
"I see. Well let me tell you a secret about myself. I have the same thing."
"Really?"
"Yeah. Only some people have it. Don't tell anyone you have it though. It's a secret."
"Okay."
"I'm serious Kuragami. Tell no one."
"I understand. Geez."
"Good. We will work on that. Another thing we will work on is your coating. I noticed that you can use it for a short time. I also noticed that you can't use your aura for some time after your done using it. Since you got it at a young age."
"So you're going to help me last longer. How are you even going to help me? Can you use coating?"
"Yeah. I haven't used it in a long time."
"When did you learn how to use coating?"
"At the age of 6."
"At 6 years old? That's crazy. When was the last time you used it?"
"At the age of 6."
Kuragami is shocked.
"So why haven't you used it for that long."
"To tell you the truth, I only done it once. After I done it, I nearly died because my heart couldn't take it. So because I was scared of dying, I haven't used it since."
"Oh."
"I'm not scared of death anymore though. I don't use it now because I don't want to die. There's still some things I need to do. Plus my normal strength was enough for me to become number one Kizoku."
"You mean number six."
Kiyoshi looks at Kuragami.
"No way the little fight was against Kenji. And you're actually number one."
"Yeah. Anyways we're here."
Kiyoshi puts his hood up. They both get off the train
"Kuragami, welcome to the country called Wariko!"
"This place feels like home. It looks old fashioned."
"Yeah."
They start walking to the central of the capital city.
"There's a lot of construction in this country."
"Yeah. They've had a couple casualties."
There a bunch of thugs with sword taking everything from a shop on the left. The shopkeeper seems hopeless.
They all take a lot of goods. They make eye contact with Kuragami and run off.
"Hey Kiyoshi, we should chase them!"
"Don't say my name that loud. I don't want people knowing I'm a Kizoku. You chase after them I'll see if she's alright."
Kuragami nods and runs after them. They run into a alleyway. Kuragami turns into the alleyway and there's a bunch of thugs with swords waiting for him.
"Fresh meat!"
"Let's kill him for trying to interrupt with business!"
They all run towards Kuragami. Kuragami runs towards them. The first one slashes his sword. Kuragami dodged and punches his gut. Another one comes from behind him. He tries to attack Kuragami but he solidifies his arms with ice and blocks it.
"There's too many!"
Kuragami uses one of the thugs as a platform to jump. He jumps on top of them onto the wall on the right. He makes sure he sticks on with ice.
"Artic Eruption."
Kuragami freezes all of them. More come from both sides of the alleyway. Kuragami jumps down onto his ice. One of them are standing out from the others.
A dark skinned kid with dreads holding a pistol that seems to be reacting to his aura. The aura is yellow. He is also wearing a black tank top and a black cape. He has baggy jeans on that are being held up by a black belt with silver spikes around it.
"Whose this fresh meat we stumbled across?"
"I'm Kuragami Nozomi. Who are you?"
"I'm the person who runs this town, Jericho Quase. And judging by your armband and the ice that's around, your a Ice Disciple. How old are you kid?"
"12. And I don't think you can call me kid. You're a kid too."
"Well I'm 2 years older than you. But enough with the talk."
He points his gun at Kuragami.
"Wait. We can talk about this."
Jericho smiles.
"No time to talk."
He shoots the gun. The bullet is a beam of light. Kuragami got caught off guard but luckily, he saw a vision of it before.
He moves his head to the right and the bullet flies past him. He looks at the bullet as it flies past.
"That was close. The thing Kiyoshi was talking about happened again."
He looks up to see Jericho's next move. He just sees his grunts.
"Hey! Where did your boss go?"
Kuragami feels the cold metal tip of a pistol on his back head.
"Right behind you."
Jericho is pointing a gun at Kuragami from behind.
"I've seen you in the Shorai Skirmish. I got my hands on a cell tower that broadcasted it. You're strong. You got more points than I did. But your journey ends now."
He pulls the trigger. Before the bullet escapes from the pistol, Kuragami disappears leaving Jericho and the gang confused. He puts the gun down.
"Jericho where did he go?"
"Should we look for him?"
"No. Let him go. He came to this country with someone strong."
Kiyoshi is holding Kuragami on top of a building near them.
"Luckily I got you in time."
"You can put me down now."
Kiyoshi drops him. Kuragami stands up and pats the dust off his clothes.
"Jericho. He's way stronger than me."
Kuragami starts smiling.
"I want to fight him Kiyoshi. Can I?"
"You need to train first though. He's from a different league to you although he's young."
"Ok. So what are we doing first?"
"You got another vision didn't you? That's how you dodged the bullet."
"So you were watching and didn't bother to help?"
"My bad. I just wanted to see what you would happen when you two meet."
"So you made me chase them hoping that I met Jericho?
"You're sharp. You know one of the most crucial things you know about being a Disciple is being able to see and hear every single detail."
"I'm very observant."
"Yeah sure. Anyways, we're gonna be living in the wild for a few weeks."
"Really?"
His eyes light up.
"Yeah. Why are you so excited."
"Because I'm an expert when it comes to the wild. Dad used to let me and Yuma go out for a week in the wild. We always came back safe."
Kiyoshi sees the big smile on his face. There's silent for 5 seconds.
"Hey Kuragami. How are you dealing with your dads death and Yuma leaving?"
"I don't know. I just don't cry like how normal people will deal with it. I was raised to be tough and carry on with life."
"I see. Kuragami. For these next weeks, let's learn a lot about each other."
"Ok."
