He sprinted toward the Demon, leaping onto a rooftop for a better view. The Demon swung its massive arm to push him, shaking the ground with every step. Arayuki rolled under it, keeping his balance, and slashed with precision, forcing the Demon back.
Natsuya "*Whispering to Haruka and Akira* He's amazing..."
Akira: "I want to try that too."
Arayuki moved quickly, dodging attacks and striking at openings. Sparks of energy flashed as his blades met resistance, each movement precise and calculated. His Ultima energy began to glow, surrounding his blades with a shimmering light. Mana pooled in his veins, radiating outward.
The demon tries to tear apart Arayuki as he jumps with its claw, but he quickly notices the attack and runs across its giant arm and leaps above its height.
While in the air, with a deep breath, he activated Ultima Infusion—Dragon Waterfall. The blades spun in a graceful, unstoppable arc, forcing the Demon to stumble and retreat. Energy crackled in the air, showing just how strong Arayuki had become. The Demon, unable to keep up, was finally sliced into pieces.
The street fell silent. Natsuya, Akira, and Haruka stared in amazement.
Haruka: "That was incredible!"
Arayuki sheathed his blades, smiling: "It looks flashy, but remember—these creatures adapt quickly. One mistake and it could get messy. Always stay sharp."
Akira: "Pretty good! Can I join in fighting the Demons that are in the way?"
Arayuki: "The Demons are weak to Mana, and it feels ineffective if you fight them with your uninfused Katana."
Akira: "Aw, Come on!"
Arayuki: "Well, you can watch me dominate these Curses! I gotta go right now to take them down. See ya!"
Arayuki departs, jumping and dashing over the buildings, finding the next Curses.
Natsuya: "See ya!", walking down to the Demons.
Akira: "I'm glad we have Arayuki as a friend."
Haruka: "Yeah... He's pretty pumped up."
Natsuya: "He deserves to be more than a C-Grade Hunter."
Haruka chuckles, followed by laughter, having a very energized day. Natsuya, Akira, and Haruka run down to see Arayuki eliminating the Demons, where he gains a reputation. It's 3:35, 1 Hour and 25 Minutes before the approval.
Natsuya is very astonished to have a hunter as his friend.
