Kojin takes alex and kazuki to an underground hallway with drawings and ancient writings on the walls. As they were walking, alex gets a creepy look on his face saying that he has a very bad feeling in his stomach, kazuki with a neutral expression on his face responds telling him that he has the same feeling as well. They then appear in front of a giant gate with the drawing of a demon's face on it, kojin then tells alex "Alex, this is were you'll be training. As soon as you enter through this gate, you are going to see something that you will have to control in order to have your full power as a demon." Alex with a confused look on his face then says "I dont get it. What are you talking about?", kojin explains to him telling him that as soon as he enters through that gate, he will have to fight a monster. Kojin further explains that the gate is called the gate of inner hell and who ever enters their is going to fight something truly fearsome, therefore the person would be in his inner mind and what ever he has to fight is as a result of how dark and powerful a person's power is, he also explains to alex saying "The long and short of what I'm saying is that you will fight a demon when you enter that gate. Since you possess a crazy amount of power, the monster you will face there is going to be a demon like creature". Alex then says "Okay I get it but, what is the point of fighting a demon in their? It doesn't make any sense", kojin then further explains "Like I told you before, you are strong and you along with kazuki are the only thing that can save this world from the war that is about to happen. You have managed to reach the demon inferio mode stage one. If you manage to fight that monster and win, then you can unlock your true powers." Alex then gets a shocked expression on his face as he says "Wait! Are you saying that I'll have to fight my demon?!", kojin then says "Looks like you finally caught on. Now go!". Alex then sighs as walks up to the gate saying "You could have just told me that from the start. You didn't have to give me a damn lecture on something that wasn't so complicated." As Alex was about to open the gate, kazuki tells him "You better not get yourself killed Alex. Remember we both are going to be the strongest! If you're dead then I can't imagine being the strongest without you", alex smiles in confidence as he says "Yeah I feel the same way about you as well" and enters the gate. Kojin then tells kazuki "Now I have something for you. And it's not training, its about knowing the truth." Kazuki gets confused as he says "Truth? What truth?", kojin then says "The truth about shinki, the truth about your family. Tell me kazuki, have you ever wondered about who your family were?" Kazuki eyes light up in confusion and abit of sadness. As alex gets through the gate, he finds himself in a dark void but with a pool of blood on the floor. As he looks up, he see's his inner demon staring down at him as it says "Its about time huh?" Alex was abit confused but then with a smile on his face, he says "I was never expecting to ever fight you, you know". The demon then responds "Well it was something that was bound to happen. Mind you, you are fighting me because this is the only way to get your full powers, not because you want to be friends with me. Like all those shounen manga you read were they have to make friends with their inner monsters !" Alex laughs as he tells his demon "You are funny you know? Oh well I'm supposed to fight you aren't I? if It's the only way to get stronger then I'll do it!" Alex body begins to crackle red energy as his body glows with red energy as he says "Dont blame me if I beat the breaks off you! I'll forget that we are acquainted and beat you!". The inner demon then smirks devilishly as it says "And I shall do the same!" as it let's out a giant roar while crackling with energy. Meanwhile kazuki see's himself in a dark void as he asks himself what is going on. As the Inner demon and alex were fighting in which alex was flying with an incredible speed while his giant demon was flying after him with an insane speed while blasting giant and powerful beams at him, alex was flying and dodging them as fast as he can with the speed of light at the same time firing blade of death at rapid fire to counter the attacks being shot at him. As this kept on going, Alex's inner demon kept on shooting beams at alex as it complemented him for being so swift for being able to dodge his attacks. While alex was dodging the massive and powerful attacks his demon was launching at him, he responds saying "Well you know me, I always come up with a way to go beyond people's expectations". Alex then prepares two giant blades of death as he launches them at the demon, as alex launches his mountain sized attack, he says to himself "With this strength of mine, I'm at B-rank level. Which means if I manage to unlock my full powers then I should be at A-rank level." Alex then grins and says "That means I should be at kojin's level of strength. No! I'll be stronger" the giant demon then appears above alex as it wack him to the ground, but then it noticed that alex used one hand to block his hit. Alex looks at his demon with a crazy smile on his face as he blasts out an incredibly powerful blade of death at his demon which sent it flying. As the demon stands up with a smirk on its face, it monologues to himself saying "As I am, I'm not at full strength because I'm currently sealed inside this boy. But still he is able to come unpar with me?! He truly is.... nothing to sneeze at."
