At one of the training grounds filled with tall grass and a number of trees, Kito walked by himself, cutting through the grass that got in the way and just observing the surroundings around him. Kito thought to himself as he looked around "This place looks more like a mini forest than a training ground. Not all the grass here are tall, and not all of them are short either, not to mention the tall trees here. Its obvious that this training ground isn't completed yet.", he looked at the card he was holding. The instructions at the back of the card read "Hold this card with you, do not put it into your pocket. Once you take this card, go to the other end of the training field. At the end of it, there is a large box containing a weapon. Once you insert the card into the box, you are free to take the weapon as a reward. But beware, whoever gets in your way WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL!", Kito sighed after reading the instructions "Ah, man! This is just one thing after another. Oh well, a weapon sounds nice, so I'll just get it.". After a couple minutes later, Kito saw a large gate infront of him, at the end of the gate was a large mechanical box. Kito looked at it "So this is the box, huh. Not bad. Although it's a bit confusing, why would anyone just put a random box at the end of a gate.", he took a deep breath in and out "Doesn't matter.", he walked forward into the gate to insert the card "All I need to do is just put this card in and....". Just as Kito was about to place the card into the box at the middle of the training ground, he felt a dark presence that pressured him, it was like as if gravity had descended on him. Kito's eyes were widened with shock "Who the hell are you?! Get out of here!", a ruthless and commanding voice said. The reason for this powerfull pressure was no one else other than Kojin. Kojin's destructive energy made him look like a black beast like figure with his eyes glowing white "Get the hell out of here, or I'll kill you!", Kojin growled, his voice bone breaking and harsh. Kito's danger senses clicked, he turned around with killing intent and shot out a powerful blast of white energy. Meanwhile at the abandoned city, buildings and roads were breaking apart and collapsing, this was because of the fight Yuji and Kazuma were having with Ranpo. As the two boys moved around at intense speeds while going blow for blow with their opponent, Ranpo balled his fists, condensed enough energy into it and then punched Kazuma accross buildings in an instant. Yuji turned back "KAZUMA!", he screamed his friends name, Kazuma got up "YUJI! LOOK OUT!", he yelled. Yuji looked forward and saw Ranpo preparing a much more stronger punch, Yuji was able to block the blow but was sent back flying. Yuji groaned in pain, his hands were beat up, Kazuma teleported right beside him "You okay?", he asked. Yuji responded "Offcourse not!", Kazuma huffed "Figures.". Ranpo walked towards them, a smirk on his face as his eyes glowed blue while he was walking out of the smoke "Wow, you both have grown stronger since you came into this camp. I'm impressed.", Yuji growled "What the hell?!", Kazuma on the other hand was in shock "No way! No way! No way! No way! I knew something like this was gonna happen. The competition makes it clear that the adult soliders are to fight against the young ones, this means no one's holding back.", Kazuma looked at Ranpo who stood across them "Yuji and I have sparred with Ranpo sensei on multiple occasions, but this time, he isn't going to block and dodge, he's really gonna hit us!". Ranpo mocked "Are you both just gonna stand there and keep looking at me? Or are you gonna fight!". Yuji clicked his tounge "What else do you think!", he started charging up some energy, Yuji thought to himself "I don't give a crap if its you, sensei. My goal is to get to the other side and submit the ball, and that's what I'll do!". He looked at Kazuma "Kazuma! Let's go!", he declared. Yuji zoomed in "Yuji! Wait!", Kazuma tried to warn him. Ranpo on the other hand thought to himself as Yuji shot forward at him "If not for the fact that I'm wearing these suppression device to limit my energy levels to that of a low C-rank, I should be able to move much faster than I am now. But we can't go all out and accidentally hurt these kids, that would be bad.". Yuji had rushed forward with his dagger in hand and was ready to strike Ranpo, Kazuma rushed after him "Yuji! Get back here! He's going to break your ribs!", Kazuma warned with worry as he rushed forward at insane speeds. In the blink of an eye, Ranpo appeared right infront of Yuji, a smirk on his face, this caused Yuji to stare in shock. Ranpo said to him "Kazuma's right, I am gonna break your ribs!", Yuji's eyes widened "Huh?!", he exclaimed. Ranpo started beating Yuji with devastating levels of strength and speed. The speed at which Ranpo's fists were moving were far faster than Yuji could normally comprehend, Kazuma got angry and sneered "GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!", he created multiple missiles of energy and shot them forward at Ranpo with a wave of his hand. Ranpo, while beating up Yuji, saw the incoming attacks and immediately jumped out of the way, he was able to avoid one missle that blew up the moment it touch the ground. Suddenly, more of Kazuma's missles started raining down on him. Ranpo dodged and weaved, each missle of energy was causing devastating levels of explosions around them. As Ranpo dodged,he had a smirk on his face "Wow, Kazuma boy! You sure look like you want to kill me!", Kazuma on the other hand with his teeth gritted and his face filled with frustration thought as he chased after Ranpo "It's not like I want to kill you right now. To be honest, I want to run away from you, it's because I know how strong you are, even when suppressed to our level...", Kazuma yelled "YOU'RE WAY TOO DANGEROUS!", and proceeded to shoot out a powerful spiritual explosions that created a powerful and deadly explosion of energy. Kazuma turned back and ran towards Yuji who was bloodied and bruised on the ground "Yuji!", he called the name of his friend and picked him up and ran. Yuji struggled to talk, his eyes were white and blank, his body was bloodied and injured "What the hell do you think you're doing, Kazuma?! We've got to fight him and beat him!". Kazuma looked at Yuji as he carried him on his shoulder "Are you fucking stupid?! I'm not fighting him, he's to damn dangerous for me. It's been twenty minutes since the exam, and you got beat on in seconds! We're using a hit and run tactic!". From the smoke caused by Kazuma's explosion, Ranpo jummed out and ran after them at terrifying speeds "Very smart kid, using a hit and run tactic is very impressive. But what will you do when your opponent can catch up to you with a burst of speed?!". Kazuma looked back with annoyance and stretched his hand out, an eye Kazuma had made from his energy shot a powerful beam from the air and blasted Ranpo into the ground with one terrifying shot "JUST STAY DOWN!", Kazuma yelled.
