A drop of blood fell from Kento's face. His body was filled with many cut wounds, and he was breathing heavily.
He looked at the staff he was holding and sighed. The cursed weapon he was using was slightly bent and had many dents on it.
Kento looked forward and saw many raging apparitions charging towards him.
He tightened the grip on his staff and ran forward.
Kento threw his staff and it pierced the head of a centipede with a funny face.
He quickly recovered his staff and used the body of the centipede to leap forward.
One by one, he began striking down apparitions left and right.
He was about to strike another when he was tackled to the side by a white-haired gorilla.
Kento was pinned to the ground and struggled to move under the enormous weight of the apparition.
Kento stretched out his arm towards his staff, which was a few meters away from him, but he couldn't reach it.
The white-haired gorilla smiled wickedly as it held Kento to the ground.
Kento moved his arm, pointing it towards the apparition. A white ball of light appeared in his hand and smashed into the apparition, sending it flying.
Kento crawled towards his weapon, but it was crushed under the feet of another apparition.
A herd of apparitions soon gathered around Kento as he lay limp on the floor.
Kento slowly began to lose consciousness as he was dragged by two apparitions towards the demon apparition.
'Is this the end? Is this how I go out? What about my students? What are they going to do without me? I hope they're okay.' A few thoughts passed through Kento's mind as he now dropped a few inches from the demon apparition.
Kento was trying his best to hold on to the last bit of consciousness when he heard something that made his eyes widen.

"It's so bright."
Kenji's eyes opened to the ray of light penetrating through the glass window.
Kenji's apartment was a single room with just enough space to house two people. There wasn't much in the room, apart from a few bags filled with clothes and other personal belongings. All that remained were a bunch of empty spaces.
Since there wasn't a bed in the apartment, Kenji slept on the floor with only a white blanket to cover himself.
Kenji sat up, and he could feel thick liquid slowly rolling down his cheek from his emerald eyes - it was blood.
He got up and headed to the bathroom, where he washed his face.
Kenji stared at himself in the mirror for quite some time. He pushed up his wavy hair that was covering his forehead to reveal a long, thin scar across his head.
He couldn't quite remember where he got this scar, but he knew it had always been there ever since he could remember.
After a few moments of looking at his reflection, Kenji shook his head. He couldn't bother himself any further about where this scar came from - after all, he had work to do.
He immediately went into the shower, and in a few minutes, he was already dressed in black pants, a white T-shirt, and a black jacket over it.
Kenji picked up his sword, which was lying in a corner of the apartment.
He was about to leave through the front door when an image flashed in his mind. His expression turned sour, and he soon decided against it, leaving through the back window instead.
