At 3:00PM, Kazuma and Kito were at a forest testing out the mechanical arm Reggie had made for Kazuma [SHALVERON]. Kazuma was blasting beams upon beams, setting the forest around them in explosions of energy. Kito on the other hand was using his ice manipulation to freeze the explosions or keep the destructive force to the bere minimum. Kito couldn't help but to think to himself with slight shock as each and every explosion of purple energy from Kazuma wiped out the forest around them "No way! That's a massive amount of power Kazuma's releasing. I know his energy reserves are high, and I know his destructive power is incredible. But still, giving him a weapon that basically increases his speed and power by 5 times is just crazy work... ". Suddenly, Kazuma created a spiritual shuriken and released it into the forest with a single throw, the spiritual shuriken was far bigger than the average one. It's destructive power was insane the moment it set off, Kazuma just stared "Damn! I can do that now? Cool.", he muttered to himself. Kito let out a wave of ice to cool down the explosion from a distance. After the ice had done it's job, Kito seemed to be impressed when he took a look at his surroundings. Kito thought to himself "We really did all this?", he walked towards Kazuma "Kazuma....!", he called his friend's name. Kazuma on the other hand was just looking at his mechanical arm "You feeling alright?", Kito asked. Kazuma responded "This robotic arm is comfortable to use, you know?", Kito replied while looking at it "Yeah, it does look comfortable. The battery in it must be insane. And the metal used In creating the arm must be crazy strong too. Not to talk of the cooling system inside it. I'm kind of jealous.". Kazuma took off the arm and started to stretch out his actual arm "Yeah, you're right.", Kito blinked and asked "So, eight months, huh.". Kazuma looked at Kito "Eight months, for what?", Kito explained "For your arm to heal. Didn't you hear when Reggie said your arm would take eight months to heal....?", Kazuma responded "Oh, yeah, he did say that.". Kito couldn't help but to mutter "I'm not the one who got his arm destroyed and yet I'm the one who has the necessary knowledge for your condition.". Kazuma just took a stretch "Whatever....", he kept on the robotic arm "Let's go.". As Kito and Kazuma walked across the forest, Kito remembered how he saved Kazuma's life after he got stabbed on the stomach by a giant nail by trying to stop the bleeding from his abdomen with his Ice manipulation. Kito couldn't help but to stare at Kazuma from behind as they walked "Kazuma.....", he said his friend's name in his head. As both boys were walking on the side walk, Kazuma stretched and exclaimed "I can't wait to just lay down on the bed and just snooze off.",he looked back and noticed Kito was quiet "Hm? What's up, Kito? You're quiet.". Kito responded "Kazuma.... if anyone of us should have died on that mission, it should have been either me or you. Think of it.". Kito started to explain "I was so shrouded in my madness to the point I couldn't think straight. Before i knew it, I almost got my head snapped off. If you didn't come to save me, I'd be dead by now. And if I didn't think of a way to save you after you got blasted on the stomach my a 5 foot nail the size of a head, you'd have died too. I know the mission's been two weeks ago, but still.... I can't shake off the fact that everything that had happened until now was a close call.". Kazuma listened to what his friend had said as he looked at him. Kazuma faced front as he walked along side Kito, he sighed "Whatever. We're alive, that's what matters.". By the time Kazuma and Kito had gotten to the boarding house and had climbed the stairs, they saw Yuji standing infront of the room door. Yuji looked at them "Hm. Took you guys long enough to get back.", Kazuma blinked "Hm? Yuji? How long have you been standing here.", Yuji replied with his arms folded "Two minutes.". Kazuma growled "Don't talk about us wasting time to arrive when you've only gotten here two minutes before we did.". Kazuma, Kito and Yuji were sitted In the room. While Yuji was cleaning his daggers, he took a look at Kazuma's arm and realised it was a mechanical arm "Hm? The hell is that?", he asked. Kazuma took a look at the arm and responded "Oh, this is [SHALVERON]. It's the mechanical arm I just got in replacement of my left arm.", Yuji replied "Wow, did you really go so reckless to the point you destroyed your own arm?", Kazuma replied "Says the guy who got shot on the chest mid crashout.". Kito muttered to himself with bored expression "At this rate, they're going to argue again.", Yuji just kept his daggers at the side and just layed down on his bed "Whatever. I don't have time for this.". Kito looked at him "What's got you all worked up?", he asked, Yuji responded "Nothing, I just don't have the mental capacity to argue anyhow I like. My chest hurts, and this idiot's probably got like a hundred injuries. We'd just run out of energy.", Kito thought to himself "Mind you, he's the one who started it.". Kito got up from the bed "Whatever, I'll be going home now, I need some shut eye.", he left the room and went out of the boarding house. Kazuma seemed to be trying to sleep when he asked "Hey, Yuji....", Yuji responded "What.....?". Kazuma continued the conversation "How's your body putting up?", his friend responded "Terrible. I just said my chest hurts. I'll assume every inch of your body is in pain as well.", Kazuma giggled "You have no idea.".
