Kazue begins to step down and draws her sword, while Takara jumps down, preparing to fight Ryūji. Ryūji turns around and stares at them for a while, and Hitoshi turns around and whispers, "Kazue-senpai! Takara-senpai!" Kazue and Takara stop walking upon hearing Hitoshi's whisper. Ryūji then starts looking at Kazue and says, "That girl with the long, beautiful purple hair seems to be my type." He turns his body toward them and says, "So you guys have chosen to challenge me. Right then, let's go."
Takara runs towards Ryūji and releases an enormous ki blast towards his torso, blasting him away and destroying the hill in the process. The impact sends out insane shockwaves, while Kazue tells Hitoshi to back away and that they'll handle it on their own. Hitoshi nods and slowly walks away, urging Kazue and Takara to win.
Kazue smirks at Hitoshi and turns around with a serious expression. Takara starts walking up towards Ryūji to see his corpse, and Kazue instantly teleports there. Ryūji, with a menacing smile, grabs Kazue's arm, but she swiftly lifts her sword and cuts his arm. However, it doesn't seem to have any effect. She then kicks Ryūji forward, while Takara blasts ten ki lasers at him at the speed of light. Ryūji floats around, and everything seems to be in slow motion. He starts questioning himself, "This battle hasn't happened in the latest..." As the slow motion ends, Ryūji turns around, dodging seven ki lasers and grabbing three of them, throwing them back at Takara. Takara manages to dodge two of them but gets hit by one in the hips, causing it to bleed. Ryūji comments, "Well, impressive." Takara exclaims, "Damn!"
Meanwhile, Kazue jumps up and tries to throw an attack, but Ryūji reacts quickly and dodges it.
As the fight continues, two spiritual entities start descending from the heavens towards the ground, causing intense shaking. Patora, Kasumi, and people in the town, including the students, can feel the vibrations. Rocks start floating up into the air, adding to the chaos of the battle between Ryūji, Takara, and Kazue. However, after a few seconds, the shaking stops, and the floating rocks come to a halt.
In a flash, two entities appear behind Takara, Kazue, and Ryūji. It is a boy with a black sword and a girl wearing a light-colored kimono. Kazue turns around in shock and demands to know who they are. The boy, Yukiharu, and the girl, Nozomi, respond by saying, "Just call us your allies?" Ryūji smiles and points to himself, stating, "Wait, you're my allies." Yukiharu clarifies that they are not allies with Ryūji, but with the two adult women present. Nozomi observes the destruction around them.
Yukiharu lifts his sword and points it at Ryūji, declaring his intention to be the one to defeat him across the skies. Ryūji nervously gulps in response.
Ryūji raises his hands, spreading them around as dark clouds cover the sunlight. He confidently challenges the others, saying he can take on all four of them. Meanwhile, Patora is on the ground, feeling almost unconscious and experiencing dizziness. She falls down, even though she was close to the school. Others who noticed the intense earthquake also start feeling dizzy and fall to the ground. People from building tops look outside their windows, bewildered by what is happening. Hitoshi remains unconscious on the ground, affected by the flow of the two spiritual gods' power.
Kazue, Takara, And Ryūji manage to overcome the effects and are not affected by the dizziness. Yukiharu swiftly runs towards Ryūji and slashes him, cutting him into tiny particles. He continues slashing until Ryūji appears to be completely defeated. Yukiharu sheathes his sword, claiming it was an easy finish. Kazue and Takara are shocked by how quickly Ryūji was defeated.
However, just as Yukiharu and Nozomi are about to leave, something strange happens. Yukiharu's body starts shaking, including his hands and entire spiritual form. It seems that Ryūji has somehow come back and is standing there with a serious expression. Yukiharu turns around in surprise, exclaiming that he thought he had cut Ryūji down. Ryūji responds, acknowledging Yukiharu's strength and mentioning that he was trapped in an illusion. Yukiharu is confused, realizing that this illusion was much stronger than he anticipated, surpassing his ability to destroy illusions.
Yukiharu questions the truth of the situation, feeling humbled. He points his sword at Ryūji and asks how he accomplished this. Ryūji calmly explains that Yukiharu wouldn't know because he was trapped in an illusion room that Ryūji controlled. Yukiharu screams in frustration, unable to comprehend when Ryūji started using this power. Ryūji places his hand by his chin and casually responds, "From the beginning."
Without hesitation, Yukiharu and Nozomi try to attack Ryūji.
Kazue and Takara join the fight, trying to make sense of the situation. Ryūji skillfully dodges Yukiharu's four swings and Nozomi's six swings. Kazue throws a powerful swing that splits the ground, while Ryūji, unaffected by gravity, grabs Nozomi's chest, causing her to blush, and throws her into Yukiharu. Takara unleashes a ki blast towards Ryūji, but he bites into it, neutralizing the attack. He then grabs Kazue's shoulder and pulls her down towards his neck, whispering to her, "It's your chance to give up." He kicks Takara away, sending her crashing into the ground. Everyone catches their breath, except for Yukiharu and Nozomi.
Yukiharu and Nozomi continue their relentless attacks on Ryūji, but he starts feeling a sense of déjà vu. He notices that Nozomi's weapon feels similar to Kiki's and destroys it. This shocks Nozomi, and Ryūji swiftly strikes her with a palm strike to the stomach, sending her flying. Takara observes this and realizes that Ryūji just copied one of Hitoshi's signature moves.
Yukiharu manages to land a hit on Ryūji, but then he goes blank, struggling to comprehend the powerful illusion Ryūji has trapped him in. He whispers to himself, calling for assistance. Ryūji uses his RogoPistol to blast Yukiharu, but he dodges the attack. Nozomi walks towards Yukiharu and whispers to him, revealing Ryūji's ability to damage spiritual organs with just a hand. Yukiharu acknowledges this and tells Nozomi not to give up, emphasizing the need to take Ryūji down no matter what.
Kazue, feeling a sense of fear, wonders if these powerful adversaries that she has encountered are as evil as Ryūji. The situation weighs heavily on her mind.
Ryūji approaches Yukiharu and Nozomi, commenting on their resistance to his abilities. Just as Kazue attempts to launch an attack, Ryūji swiftly grabs her sword. He lifts his left hand and channels inner energy into the sword, causing it to glow. With a powerful strike, he attacks Yukiharu, shouting, "It's over!" This greatly shocks Yukiharu.
