''Haaah!'' Ichiro's face started changing colors until it was completely white.
*Thud*
He fell down to the ground out of exhaustion.
His pure white eyes started turning colors until his familiar black eyes returned.
Ichiro's hands were still trembling like he was freezing.
''S-S-System.'' Ichiro's voice shook.
[Host, calm down!]
[Calm Nature Activated!]
Ichiro's body slowly stopped trembling, some colors returned to his pale face.
His body became calm once again, ''System… What was that.''
[…The Future]
He sat down on the ground, ''That was Arkenthym… Wasn't it?''
[Affirmative]
''Dying almost every day… I wonder what I meant by that…'' Ichiro murmured; he suddenly had an awful feeling from those words.
[Like I told you a while back. Your destiny is linked with Underworld, in more ways than you can imagine]
''…Can the future be changed?''
[I wouldn't suggest it. I only know the pieces of the future, changing it… Can have dire consequences, and you might not be able to change it even]
Ichiro sighed, ''Why did Underworld decide to Assassinate me… What did I do?''
[…]
''Ichiro, time to go to school!'' He heard Azumi's voice from downstairs.
''Haah…'' Ichiro took a deep breath, took his school uniform from the closet, and put it on.
He went downstairs and left the house with Ayako.
…
Days went by fast.
In the morning, Ichiro does his usual training routine.
After training routine, he goes to school and spends time in Martial Arts Club or with Lucas.
But after school, the most terrifying part of the day begins.
Ichiro even wants to stay in school, so he doesn't need to go there, but teachers got afraid that he might be sick and decided to call Irio's best doctors to check.
Their usual training spot is the Screaming Boy Forest; at this time, it is still an unnamed forest.
The familiar sound of girly screams from boy and maniac-sounding laughter from witch was heard in the forest.
Even though Ichiro hates this training with passion, it still had surprising results.
Only in 4 days, he gained 2 agility points, making it 93, only 7 away from the max limit.
Ichiro was never pushed this much past his limits; he knows that if he stops running or dodging, the sword will hit him, it won't kill him, but it will be a very painful experience. Quella sometimes even speeds up, which made it impossible for Ichiro to keep running away; that's why he had to use the trees for his advantage, which was another reason his agility rose by 2 points.
They didn't train techniques, only running.
Every day they ran. From the start of the training, till midnight.
Luckily Ichiro's stamina was at max; otherwise, he wouldn't have the stamina to keep running.
Ichiro and Quella were currently standing at the entrance of the forest.
