Ryūji walk off and was greeted by a sky so intensely blue that clouds seemed to gather around a distant spot, resembling a far-off hurricane. Undeterred, he continued his walk until raindrops began to fall, lightly dampening his shirt. He muttered, "Good grief, I suppose I should head back to the penthouse," realizing that only nine minutes had passed since he ventured out to savor the refreshing air.
As Ryūji continued his stroll, he couldn't help but contemplate the future. "Perhaps someday, I'll attend a school filled with sorcerers, where I can start anew," he mused. Suddenly, his eyes began to itch, emitting a faint red glow. Upon reaching the penthouse, he spotted the owner and hastily dashed past him, making his way to room 119. With the door ajar, he announced, "I'm home, Master Akudama, though I've already indulged in the fresh air."
Surveying the room, Ryūji realized that Akudama was absent, prompting him to speculate, "Maybe he's out shopping."
Ryūji lay on the bed, lost in thought. He pondered the hypothetical scenario of having a bounty on his head, one that would be known and spread across the world. However, in the sorcerer society, betrayals did not result in bounties. Instead, unusual phenomena and creatures were associated with such acts. Reflecting on this, Ryūji realized that having a bounty, like Akudama's staggering sum of one hundred and ten million, would not be desirable.
As Ryūji turned to his right and glanced out of the window, he noticed the heavy rain pouring down. Just then, the door swung open, and Akudama entered the room, panting heavily. He exclaimed, "Damn, I barely made it back before the rain started!" Removing his shoes, Akudama walked over to Ryūji's side and noticed his presence. Surprised, he remarked, "You made it here faster than I did. You're quite quick, my friend."
Ryūji responded calmly, "Oh, really? Well, someday in the future, I might just be a schoolboy." Akudama leaned in, inspecting Ryūji closely, and exclaimed, "Whoa, dude, your eyes are red!" Ryūji serenely replied, "Yes, indeed. It could be because I possess transcendent abilities or perhaps it's a warning. Well, I'm not entirely certain, my master."
Akudama gazed at Ryūji with a contemplative expression while Ryūji appeared confused and began to breathe heavily. Ryūji spoke up, expressing his concern, "You should just call me Akudama, that's all..." Ryūji felt a sense of worry regarding that request and continued, "Alright, I'll call you Akudama." Akudama smiled in response and affirmed, "Yes, indeed..."
Ryūji rose from his bed and removed his pants, replacing them with shorts right in front of Akudama. However, Akudama didn't seem to mind. Regardless, Ryūji proceeded to ask Akudama about his abilities, saying, "What kind of abilities do you have, Akudama?" Akudama touched his face and wore a somewhat pensive look as he replied, "It seems like I've lost my powers. I'm not sure... I feel that when I wear this outfit and remove it near other people, it doesn't seem to affect them as I anticipated. Even though I don't want to intimidate them, I simply want to witness the power for myself."
Ryūji was taken aback by this revelation, his mind filled with surprise. He reassured Akudama, saying, "It's alright. At least you have me to protect you from any entity that might try to harm you. I'm an angel of sorts, in that regard..." Akudama responded kindly, "Aren't you older than me?" Ryūji was visibly surprised by Akudama's question and replied, "Perhaps, yeah."
**[Cutting Out]**
The group, known as Kaminko, was sent by their leader to an office. Two girls within the group attempted to step forward, but accidentally bumped their heads. One of them exclaimed, "What the hell was that for?!" The other girl looked at her with a serious expression and replied, "I was trying to approach the leader to talk, and instead, it's better for you to keep bowing down to our leader while I spoke to him..." The second girl, although angry, reluctantly returned to her position, bowing down, as the first girl began to converse with the leader.
As the girl, Takara, walked up to the leader, he began to speak, saying, "I meant to talk to all of you, not just you, Miss Takara..." Meanwhile, the other girl accidentally bumped into Takara, causing her to smirk. Takara walked away, addressing the leader as "Leader Tengen," before he continued speaking.
"I have ordered you all to hunt down Akudama and Ryūji," the leader announced. The sorcerers were taken aback upon hearing Ryūji's name, and one of them proclaimed, "Ryūji-sama...? Oh yeah, that traitor. I'll take care of him, my leader," as they drew their sword.
Amidst the shock, Kazue spoke up, "This battle won't be easy, so we need to bring our full force to defeat them all." The leader was surprised by her words, though the Kaminko members didn't notice his reaction. He muttered to himself, lost in thought, "Your full force? You guys don't even need that. I mean, come on, Miss Kazue, you're a dimensional traveler. You can traverse any dimension and confront any evil entity present there..."
Kazue walked up to Leader Tengen, while Takara smiled and stepped back, allowing Kazue to take charge. Kazue began shouting, "We will bring back their heads and destroy everything they are connected to!" Leader Tengen smiled and replied, "Do your best." However, in Leader Tengen's thoughts, he wondered, "Why does a portion of society harbor hatred towards our sorcerers, despite our efforts to bring peace and stability to our people?" Meanwhile, Kazue, Takara, Kiki, Ren, and Hitoshi, collectively known as the Kaminko, were renowned as the strongest group in their world.
The bounty set to expire in just 20 days.
Ryūji pondered about women and contemplated, "Perhaps I should strive to become a harem king."
