Kuragami and Kiyoshi find a room in a hotel to stay. They had a break from training for a day. It's nighttime.
Kuragami sneaks out the hotel and finds a river. He carries on his training to make the water float. 1 hour later, the water floats for 2 seconds.
"No way! I done it! Not for that long though. This training is very tiring too I keep using too much aura. But if I find that feeling again, I'm sure I can do it for longer."
Kuragami tries it again and again until one time, he does it for two more seconds. He gets excited since he's very proud of of himself.
He looks behind him. Jericho and some of his gang are posted up behind him. Kuragami sighs.
"Give me a break Jericho!"
"Nah. You chose to come here to capture me. You're here on your own now. It's time to kill you."
Jericho points his gun at Kuragami. Kuragami stands up.
"Don't. Please."
"I will."
Jericho shoots but Kuragami dodges. Suddenly, all the gang members start charging towards him.
Kuragami - "At least give me time to rest before you all start fighting me."
He crouches on the ground and uses Piercing Iceberg. The ice hits most of them making sure they're unable to fight. Some dodge and carry on charging toward him.
Jericho - "You guys are useless."
One of the gang members go to punch Kuragami but he dodges then punch his stomach. Another comes from behind and attempts to swipe Kuragami to the ground.
Kuragami hops to avoid the swipe. A third member uses his sword to slash Kuragami. Kuragami turns the outside of his fists into solid ice and blocks the attack with it. He then punches the member one to the stomach and one to the face.
He gets grabbed from behind making him unable to move.
"Get, the hell, off, me!"
He raises his aura pushing everyone away from him.
There's 5 members left to fight him.
Jericho - "Don't make this long. Kill him!"
They all raise their aura and run towards Kuragami.
"Let my soul be one with yours!"
Kuragami activates Ice Coating. One by one, he dashes behind the members and defeat them with one strike.
Jericho - "Impressive."
Kuragami wipes the sweat off his face and faces Jericho.
"Just you left."
"Come at me then, Kuragami Nozomi."
Jericho puts his gun in its holder. Kuragami dashes to Jericho at insane speeds. He goes for a punch but Jericho blocks it. Jericho knees his stomach, does a spin kick to his face kicking him away.
Kuragami catches his fall and stays on his feet.
"Alright! Jericho, your going to witness the first time I use a technique while Coating is activated
"Huh?"
Kuragami crouches to the floor and slaps his hand on the ground. It creates a dent.
"Artic Eruption Lvl 2!"
A large amount of ice erupts from the ground violently, bigger and stronger than usual. It's erupting towards Jericho swiftly. Jericho just stands and smiles while it goes towards him.
Jericho starts glowing yellow. The whites of his eyes turn yellow too. His cape is being raised lightly by his aura. He grabs his gun and quickly aims it at the ice coming towards him.
Jericho let's off a maniac laugh.
"3 more days and this whole country will be mine!"
A strange wave of power is projected from the gun. It instantly shatters the ice.
"What?! He didn't even touch it! Wait? It's just like when Kiyoshi shattered the ice when I was fighting Isamu. That power is the sam-"
Kuragami collapses to the ground.
"Man that's very tiring. Come on body get up! Not now, not while fighting Jericho!"
Jericho's aura turns to normal. He feels light headed as we walks up to Kuragami.
"Dammit. I don't have long left."
He stops right in front of him. He points the gun to his head.
"Trust me Kuragami, I'm doing you a favour. Someone your age shouldn't see what's going to happen soon. It's for your own good."
As Jericho pulls the trigger, inferno aura surrounds Kuragami protecting him from the bullet.
"It's the Kizoku!"
Kiyoshi is beside them.
Kiyoshi - "You really thought you could catch him on his own huh?"
Jericho - "Yeah. How did you know we was here?"
Kiyoshi - "Kuragami projected a shit ton of aura. I sensed it while I sleeping."
Kiyoshi yawns and stretches his arms.
Kiyoshi - "Anyways, do I have to fight you?"
Jericho - "Nah. We're good. See you in a bit."
Jericho uses light travel to escape. Kiyoshi picks up Kuragami.
Kiyoshi - "You lost to him every time."
Kuragami - "He's hella strong. What do you expect?"
For the next 3 days, Kuragami trains his aura.
In a underground tunnel, every member of Jericho's gang are posted there. Jericho is standing on a self made stage.
"Today's the day! The day where this country will be ours. We will be free in this country and with me in charge, the only dreams that will prevail, is ours!"
They all cheer at Jericho's speech.
Kuragami gets some new clothes.
Kuragami - "I feel a lot stronger now. I promise you Kiyoshi next time I see Jericho, I'm going to beat him!"
Sitting in a bar near Kuragami and Kiyoshi, there's a mysterious figure with a walkie talkie. The person talks into it.
"They're at the capital. No signs of Jericho."
A voice projects from the walkie talkie.
"He's there. Trust me. I'm on my way."
