Three Months Later

Akemi's Hospital Room

Akemi hitting the air with his palm creating small shock waves with each thrust

A window appears next to Akemi

Window: " Martial Arts Mastery

The user has reached the peak of martial arts, you can now create your own martial arts style"

Akemi: "Creating my own martial arts?" he puts his hand on his chin and sits down

A window of his inventory appears in front of him

Akemi reaches his left hand into the window and pulls out a white box with a question mark on each side "This box..." he pokes the top of the box with his right index finger

Window: "Conditions Have Not Been Met"

Akemi: "No matter what I try, I can't seem to open this stupid box" he tosses to box back into his inventory and leans back "the system has been weird as well, after I cleared the goblin dungeon I haven't been getting anymore SP from the daily quest"

The room door opens and a nurse is standing there

Nurse smiles with her eyes close "Mr. Akemi"

Akemi looks at the nurse "Hm?"

The nurse walks to Akemi with a clipboard in her hand "Congratulations!"

Akemi: "Congratulations? For what exactly?"

Nurse: "Your release from the hospital today!"

Akemi's eyes widen "Really"

The nurse nods her head "Mhm! Mhm!"

Akemi clenches his fist "Finally!"

Nurse: "Whenever you are ready you can come to the desk in the lobby" she skips out of the room

Akemi smiles "The best news I've heard" he walks out of his room "I should tell Rin" he walks to Rin's room and opens the door slowly then he sees a man standing in front of Rin

Man: "I know you are pretending, hurry up and come back home! Get up!"

Rin sitting in her bed holding her left arm with her right hand while looking down at the bed "B-But-"

Man: "I don't have time for your excuses. I said get up!" he raises his right hand

Rin clenches her eyes closed

The man hand stops

Man: "W-what are you doing? Who are you?"

Rin opens her eyes slowly and sees Akemi holding the man's wrist "Akemi!?"

Akemi: "What were you just doing?"

Man: "None of your damn business you bastard!"

Akemi: "Oho~" he tightens his grip and bends the man arm backward

The man leans back "ow ow ow ow! Let go!"

Akemi: "I'll let you go if you promise to leave quietly"

Man: "Ok ok, please let me go"

Akemi lowers his eyes and murderous intent comes from him while his eyes glow gold "But this arm is not going with you..."

The man's eyes widens "Wha-"

Rin: "Akemi!"

Akemi looks to his right at Rin "Huuh?"

Rin: "It's fine" she squeezes her arm tighter "you can let him go"

Akemi stares at Rin for a moment then sighs "Fine" he let's go of the man

The man runs out of the room

Akemi: "Why did you let him go?"

Rin: "It's nothing Akemi..."

Akemi sits in the chair in front of her desk silently

Rin: "...Ya know..."

Akemi looks at Rin

Rin: "I heard you were being discharged today"

Akemi: "You already heard?"

Rin: "The nurse told me when she was in here"

Akemi: "It's great news isn't it, I can finally get out and move around"

Rin smiles "It is" she reaches into her purse on the desk "I have a present for you"

Akemi: "A present? really?"

Rin: "Mhm, I remember you telling me that you were kicked out by your parents sooo" she pulls a key out of the purse with a piece of paper "here"

Akemi: "A key?" he grabs the key and paper

Rin: "Yup, it's to my house and the directions"

Akemi: "Your house?"

Rin: "Yup, don't worry I live alone, oh I have something else" she reaches on the other side of her bed and lifts up a gift bag

Akemi: "For me?" he takes the bag

Rin: "Of course"

Akemi reaches inside the bag and pulls out folded clothes

Rin: "Go try them on"

Akemi walks into the bathroom

10 minutes later

Akemi walks out of the bathroom wearing a white jacket with white fur along to collar, a black shirt, white pants and white shoes "Ohohohoho!" he spins around it fits perfectly, how did you know my size?" he winks at Rin "been watching me closely?"

Rin: "I asked the nurse"

Akemi: "Tch"

Rin: "I got them made so they can look identical to your school uniform...Minus the jacket anyway, you should get going"

Akemi tosses up the key and catches it with his right hand "then when you get discharged I will return it to you"

Rin: "...Of course"

Akemi walks towards the door "Well I'm off! I'll come to visit you everyday so you won't be too lonely"

Rin smiles and waves at Akemi

Akemi waves and leaves the room

Rin's smile fades and she lowers her hand "...When I get discharged huh?"

A nurse walks slowly into the room "You why didn't you tell him?"

Rin looks up at the nurse "This is supposed to be a happy day for him, I don't want to ruin it"

Nurse: "...Rin...You only have two month to live, he deserves to know"

Rin: "..."

The hospital lobby

Akemi walks out of the hospital with his left hand over his eyes "time to go" he start walking away from the hospital

Later

Akemi walking down the street while looking at the piece of paper Rin gave him "it should be around here somewhere

Man's voice: "What did you say!?"

Akemi: "Hm?" he looks to the right into a alley and sees a girl in a black and white school uniform, black long hair and one braid on the left, with a sword on the left side of her waist surrounded by 3 muscular men

(Author's Note: She kind of looks like Karin from epic seven)

Man 1: "What do you mean you don't want to hang out with us?"

Girl: "It's exactly as I said, I have no interest in brutes such as yourselves"

Man 2: "Come on pretty lady, don't be like that"

Akemi: "That uniform, it looks like the one from Lian Xu's school" he sighs "well, it has nothing to do with me" he looks back at the paper and starts walking

A window appears in front of him

Window: "Optional Quest: Help The Girl In The Alley

Reward: 3 SP"

Akemi's eyes widen a little "Finally"

Alley

Man 1: "We will take care of you fo-"

Akemi: "Excuse me filth"

The three men turn around and seeing Akemi standing behind them with his eyes closed and smiling

Man 3: "Huuh? What do you want, can't you see we're busy"

Akemi: "Oh, I personally don't mind what happens here but can you leave that girl alone?"

Man 1 and 2 looks at each other then starts laughing

Man 3: "Are you trying to play hero?"

Akemi tilts his head slightly to the right "could you hurry up and leave please? I have things to do and I'm afraid I might catch a disease from associating myself with you for too long"

The men stop laughing

Man 1: "What did you say?"

Akemi: "I didn't stutter did I? Or did I use a word you didn't understand?"

Man 3: "You got a big mouth on ya" he cracks his knuckles

Akemi: "Wouldn't be the first time I heard that"

Man 3 cocks back his arm while his fist is balled "I'll shut it for you" he throw a punch at Akemi

Girl: "Watch Out!"

Akemi lifts his right hand and stops the punch with his pinky

Man 3: "W-what?" he starts sweating

Akemi: "If it's ok with you, I would like to handle this without violence...But if you guys want a fight then" he opens his eyes revealing his gold eyes " I will start to get violent as well"

Man 3 looks at the other "Tch, Let's go"

The three guys walks past Akemi without looking at his and leaves

Akemi watches them walks away while waving

The girl looks at Akemi "I had that handled!"

Akemi looking at his window "Is that so?" he accepts the rewards and starts walking away

The girl looks at Akemi turn the corner "wait, I need to ask his name" she runs after Akemi "Hey!" she looks past the corner but Akemi is gone "...Where did you go...That guy looked so familiar"

Akemi looks at the paper "So this is it" he looks up and sees a white house "not bad" he walks to the door and takes the key out of his pocket then puts it into the keyhole and turns the nob

The door opens

Akemi walks into the house and looks around 'she has a pretty nice house" he walks through the house then walks upstairs to the bed room and opens the door "a bed..." he lays down on the bed "how long has it been since I've laid in a bed that was in a house" he closes his eyes "tomorrow the real challenge begins"
