Third person POV
Later on, the door behind Evil Klein opens, and Evil Klein tells Roxas that he may proceed to the second floor through it. "Okay, thank you," Roxas replied back with a quick and low bow, before proceeding to the next floor via the doors and the stairs after it.
Then, after a bit of walking, Roxas and Anko arrived at the second floor, only to see a player battling against another player. The floor and battleground were currently being used, so Roxas and Anko waited for it to be vacant again. That player, Ikari Arashi, was struggling against his opponent, which is actually, Evil Kirito. When Roxas and Anko took a closer look at Arashi's opponent, they were shocked.
"Kirito-kun?!" Roxas' mind asked in shock.
But then, Arashi was struggling against the Elite Player and was now on a brink of giving up and being killed by Evil Kirito. "So weak…" Evil Kirito chuckled at Arashi while pointing his sword at him, "…time to get finished…"
Roxas was even more shocked to see Arashi going to be killed by Evil Kirito and had no idea what to do.
But Anko acted by forcing Roxas' body to get a healing potion, which Roxas had luckily bought the day before, and stepped in, making Roxas throw it towards Arashi.
As a result, the small bottle shattered near Arashi, and Arashi's health bar was replenished thanks to it being near him.
And because of that, Arashi became strong and retaliated against Evil Kirito and his sword. "Take this!" Evil Kirito blocked his sudden attack and was taken aback by his sudden strength. "What the hell?"
Roxas was stunned by what Anko made him do. "Anko-kun, what did you make me do?"
"Sorry, I can't see him facing his fate now," Anko reasoned in response, "so, I had to do this."
"Is that even cheating?"
"Yes, but I am dead, remember?"
At the same time, Evil Kirito, one of the strongest players in the game, was defeated by Arashi, much to Arashi's chagrin and surprise. Arashi was declared the winner of the second round, and thus, the doors behind Evil Kirito were opened, allowing Arashi to continue on to the third floor via a set of stairs. But Roxas didn't want to remain in the shadows behind Arashi's boost in strength, so he and Anko appeared in the scene.
"You're welcome, kid," Roxas said to Arashi in cool confidence.
Arashi and Evil Kirito heard that and looked at them.
"Welcome for what?" Arashi asked Roxas.
"We splashed a healing potion near you so you could heal up and take down that guy," Anko replied back to Arashi partially on Roxas' behalf.
Evil Kirito was shocked to hear that, and Roxas acted tough genuinely, not regretting his small deed for Arashi.
"You cheater!" Evil Kirito scowled at Anko and Roxas. "You should be punished for that!"
"You can't do that on Roxas-kun," Anko retorted solemnly and seriously. "I am dead, and Roxas is now bound to my contract and control now. That means, no matter how much you tried to kill him, you can't because I'll always heal him every time."
Roxas then nodded at Anko's statements seriously while crossing his arms for a few seconds.
Arashi was stunned to hear that. "Wait, contract?"
"Yes," Roxas looked at Arashi, "I am in Anko-kun's control, partially."
"Yes," Anko said to Arashi in succession, "I am dead, and I am this kid's spirit guardian."
"Oh…" Arashi, a boy with blue hair and black eyes, replied back.
Because of this, Evil Kirito decided to punish Roxas in a different way; that is, by having him battle in this second round's duel with one of his friends within the Elite Players' circle. So, the strong player said that while keeping his dignity on.
"Alright, fine!" Roxas strongly retorted back. "Me and Anko-kun can take that because we are stronger together!"
Anko then shouted to support his statement very strongly.
Arashi became positive for him and Roxas. "Okay, good luck, you two. Thank you for everything."
He then grabbed his sword and ran to the door and up the stairs towards the next floor.
"Okay, ingat!" Roxas said to Arashi positively with a Tagalog word.
Evil Kirito was irritated by Roxas' response and cheering for Arashi. "So annoying…"
He then contacted one of his friends to take over Roxas' second round on this floor, before leaving it via teleportation.
