Akiyama and Akio looked and stared at each other, Akiyama is a delinquent that has gold eyes and brown hair. "So you did come, Shinigami" Akiyama said to Akio as Akio replied "You can stop calling me Shinigami for one, my name is Hayashi Akio.". Akiyama then said "Whatever, come outside when you're ready" as Akiyama began to walk outside.

Akio felt rudely offended as he grabbed his shoulder "Hey wait-" as Akio's sentence was cut off with Akiyama pulling his shoulder forward and jolting back, turning his shoulder and elbowing Akio's head on the side.

Akio dropped to the floor dazed a bit from it as Akiyama Stared down at him saying "Pitiful..." before walking outside. The Chef ran over to Akio asking "Are you alright?" as Akio nodded and got up without saying a word. "H-here's the change.." Akio said, setting the money on the counter before leaving outside the door.

Akiyama was leaning on the wall vaping as he put it away in his pocket, looking at Akio and saying "You done licking the floor clean..".

Akio replied in a harsher tone "You done throwing a tantrum..". Akiyama then stood up saying "I'm going to test you, you're gonna get your ass kicked again, just letting you know", Akio replied "Don't come crying to me after your ass is put on the floor..." putting up a full guard.

"Boxing huh.." Akiyama thought to himself as he added onto his train of thought "Full guard.. I think that elbow kicked in his adrenaline" as Akio rushed in. Akio then threw a jab as Akiyama dodged easily, seeing that he threw out more jabs.

Dodging easily, Akiyama thought to himself "Random Jabs? No, he's testing.." as Akiyama threw a left punch himself, missing Akio as he glided across his punch.

"Eat this you fucking bitch!" Akio thought to himself, hitting a clean punch onto Akiyama's face. Akiyama stumbled back with Akio closing the gap between them and threw a gut punch towards Akiyama.

"I told you I'm setting your ass on the floor!" Akio thought to himself as he received a knee up onto his jaw, sending Akio onto the ground and on his back. "You got a lucky hit in.." Akiyama said as Akio stood up, rubbing the underside of his jaw.

Both Akiyama and Akio rushed in towards each other, readying a hit between each other, suddenly a voice shouted "That's enough you two!!" as both Akio and Akiyama stopped.

Akio's right hook stopped right at Akiyama's temple as Akiyama's fist stopped right at Akio's neck. The voice came from a girl shouting "Geez, you're both so serious about a sparring match that you'll go as far as to kill each other".

The girl has golden blonde hair with ruby colored eyes, Both Akiyama and Akio look at each other before they stop their fight completely, Akio then says to Akiyama "We should call this a draw then" as Akiyama nods in agreement. The girl then turned her attention around as both of them looked at her.

Akiyama then said "Did you sense something?". "Tier 1, not far from here" she said as Akiyama pulled out his fingerless gloves from his pockets, Akiyama then said to Akio "We should get going then, don't fall behind Hayashi". Akiyama and the girl then ran off as Akio followed closely behind, slowly being left in the dust.

Akiyama and the girl reached the destination as Akiyama compliments her "Good job Kazama, I'll take it from here" as Kazama replies "What about the other guy?". "He'll get here, he can stand a couple punches" as Akiyama puts on his facemask and goes into an apartment building. Akiyama then hears a voice in his head coming from Kazama, "Second floor, Akiyama" as Akiyama heads up to the second floor.

He then stopped and saw blood on the floor, looking at the hallway of the apartment, he saw the victim dead on the floor. "Must be heading up or still around.." Akiyama thought to himself, walking over and passing over the body.

He then opened the broken apartment door, seeing inside and seeing no one within. He then heard footsteps on the floor above and ran over to the stairways to get up to the upper floor. "Akiyama they're just around the corner" Kazama said to Akiyama as he turned the corner and saw the demon.

Meanwhile, Akio just arrived as he was out of breath a bit. "You need to go help him up there," Kazama said to Akio as took some deep breaths. "I'm heading up then" Akio thought to himself as Akio ran in the building and up the stairs. "Akiyama, The new guy is here and is coming up!" Kazama said to Akio as he heard footsteps coming up.

"Good timing at least" Akiyama thought to himself and threw the demon more into the hallway. Akio showed up as Akiyama said to Akio "Tag in" tagging him and going up the staircase, Akio looked confused saying "Shouldn't we be doing this together?".

"Lookout!!" Kazama's voice said to Akio as the demon got the jump on Akio, biting onto his shoulder. "You should have said that earlier!" Akio responded which surprised Kazama as Akio slammed the Demon down and off him.

"This one isn't as bad as the last one I fought..." Akio thought to himself as Kazama shouted "Catch!" throwing a paper towards the floor Akio was on, Akio looked out the balcony hallway and caught the paper. The Demon got dazed a bit as Akio Ax-Kicked the Demon straight down into the concrete, sending the demon down a floor. Akio ran down the stairs and applied the paper onto the demon, sending the demon out of the body it possessed.

Hearing its gut wrenching screams, Akio covered his ears as a knife boomeranged over and cut the demon in half. It screamed more before being sent back to hell, Akio uncovered his ears and heard a voice say "Good job Akio", turning around and seeing it was Akiyama."Why did you leave me to fight it alone?" Akio said to Akiyama as he replied "Well you needed some experience right? Well there you go then".

Akio looked at him saying "What kind of teammate does that.." as Akiyama replied "it's how we congratulate on your first exorcism" with Akiyama walking out of the building. Akio walked out shortly after as Akio looked at the time, "I think I should just head home..." Akio thought to himself, walking through downtown to get to his apartment. "Do you know his name?" Kazama asked Akiyama as he replied "Hayashi, Hayashi Akio" with both Akiyama and Kazama leaving the area.
