These few things made him go back to the basics but all in all, the blonde was confident that before he exited the time chamber, he would have a few more tricks needed to survive.

Time Chamber: 3 Years Later (9 years after entering)

"Okay. I think I've got everything, right?"

After three years of hard training, Igor finally had enough. Besides practicing techniques such as the Instant Transmission to a satisfactory level, he had also exhausted all of the potential in his body.

Appearing to be 13 years of age, Igor's muscular figure could clearly be seen through his black t-shirt. The blonde wore a dark blue haori and same coloured pants. His pants were held together by a dark blue sash while on his feet, he wore black open-toe boots, a personal preference.

Strapped to his back was a rolled-up straw mat and some books bound together by some rope he had in the gym.

With Igor's current appearance, it was relatively easy to get his purpose.

"I'm not sure if I can access the time chamber after I leave so having these books can be some insurance."

Deciding to leave almost a year early, the blonde stood in front of the massive door leading to the outside of the time chamber.

He smiled to himself, taking in the immense height of the door.

"Almost 50 years have passed and this is the first time I take the initiative to use this door."

There was a small amount of uncertainty. But it was just that- small. That uncertainty was like a fly that the blonde chased away.

"No need to wait any further. I'm wasting daylight here and I have an old man beat up."

1995/09/03* - 1996, July 2nd, Baraquiel's Home, Kuoh Town, Japan

Sitting outside on deck chairs, Azazel and Baraquiel were quietly watching the sunset. For the past year, both fallen had been extremely busy after Igor's little stunt. While Azazel was able to hush down the incident of Igor and Baraquiel fighting, the giant globe that had enough energy to cause untold destruction through Japan directly destroyed all his efforts at easily appeasing Cleria Belial, the current overseer of Kuoh.

In fact, Cleria wasn't the only problem. There were also the yokai who wanted an answer for the matter. Azazel had to spend a long amount of time handling public relations while Baraquiel had to expel any hidden forces that tried to approach the scene. Fortunately, his killings could be disguised as protecting his place of residence. While the information was not widespread, there were a few people among the upper echelons who knew that Baraquiel resided somewhere along the outskirts of Kuoh. Although no one truly knew the explicit reason. However, no one would truly make a fuss out of it. With a person of his calibre, it was a sort of unwritten rule to not bother them if they did not cause any trouble. After all, it would cause too many unnecessary problems if powerful entities from various factions were blocked by subordinates at every turn.

But what caused the biggest problem was that the giant globe was made out of ki. The moment that Igor had formed it, it directly shattered the bounded field surrounding the entire forest. The result of this was that any yokai and other party familiar with ki could feel the massive energy coming from Kuoh.

To make sure that there wouldn't be too many problems, Azazel who was chatting with Cleria at the time had to silence her...with bribes. Cleria was a smart woman who had long since begun to observe the blonde. It was inevitable that Igor would be found out when multiple humans kept dying for the past four years. Although, it wasn't like the blonde was trying to hide anyway.
