Chapter 5: The Man Came From Darkness

Taro: So, how did you know and where did it came from about exorcising monsters/spirits?

Aoki: I don't know. Maybe from watching anime about humans exorcising spirits?

Taro: Aight, alright... Since you've exorcised someone, you can come with me when exorcising monsters/spirits!

Aoki: Really!?! Let's go!!

Aoki was surprised and got excited when Taro said that to him. Their Master trained them more and 2 weeks later.

Master: Now you two have grown up. Since you two mastered using different types of weapons, you can now protect yourself even with just a barehand too. You can now use your potential/aura/energy to protect yourself and remember, it has limits. It can regenerate itself by taking a nap or sleep, even Energy Drinks or food that gives you energy. That's it.

Aoki: Thank you so much sensei (teacher).

*Taro and Aoki walks together to get some food*

Taro: I can't believe you've mastered different types of weapons and the potential just like me. But that old man still trains me to improve more. Dang...

Aoki: Yeah... Even me, I can't believe myself, the old man probably worrying about you in the future because if you did not train well, yeah... So, does it means I got superpowers like on Anime??

Taro: Ehhh???

Taro: Oh, I can see the ramen restaurant, let's go!!

Aoki: Alright! I'm hungry too!

Ramen (Odayashi): Hello, young people, what would you like to eat?

Taro: Uh, can we please get some 2 ramen with a hot chili oil? To make it more spicy.

Taro: "(He whispered) Spicy food give us more energy."

Aoki: "(He whispers back) No it is not!"

Odayashi: 2 Ramen with a hot chili oil coming right up!!

But suddenly, there is a man watching them from a tree. Aoki sees him but he did not care at all. He thought that maybe he was just an ordinary guy. But Aoki can't see his face clearly due to the tree's shadow, making it more hard to see when your eyes are steady at light.

When Aoki asks Taro that who is the man standing in front of a tree, Taro asks:

Taro: What do you mean? What do you mean there is a man standing in front of that tree?

When Aoki tries to look at the tree again, the man was gone.

So Taro said,

Taro: Just ignore it. Come on, let's eat. Maybe you're just too tired. I will add more chili oil in your ramen to wake you up.

Aoki: Noooooo!! Okay fine, I'll just ignore it.

But that man that Aoki saw, was real...

Odayashi: Are you talking about the man you saw, young man?

Aoki: Uh... yeah?? The man standing in front of that tree *Aoki points*

Odayashi: Oh... That Man...

Aoki: Wait, do you know him?

Odayashi: That man you saw, was real. But when other person's gonna see it like telling someone. It will vanish.

Odayashi: That man in our village (current village or where Aoki and Taro goes to get food) calls him "The Man Came From The Darkness" since you cannot see his face just like what you said earlier, because the branches of the tree is covering and it was like, harder to see since it is all black. Most of our villagers already knew about it.

Aoki: Did it do something bad around the village?

Odayashi: No.

Taro: (*whispers* I can feel such a strong aura.)

Aoki: Don't tell me!!

Taro: Yes... You figured it out... That Odayashi, that's him...

Aoki: what!?

Odayashi: Fahahahahaha!!

Aoki: A- are you coming to k- k*ll us!?!

Odayashi: Relax, I am not that bad person, I am a Shaman too.

Narrator: Basically, Shaman is what we'll call here, who's doing exorcist stuffs here in our story.

Aoki & Taro: EHHHHHH!?!?!

Odayashi: While you guys are waiting for Ramen to get boiled. I was there on that tree and wait until you guys noticed me. My superpowers are called "Shadow Control" So I hid (hide) my face so you two would not recognize me. And now you did!

Odayashi: Also, I already knew you guys are Shamans because I met your Master and he was my partner since we were teens and trains harder. And that old man talks about you two, so talented and works harder.

Aoki: Uh... Okay... *drinks the soup*

*SOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPP*

Odayashi: AREN'T YOU LISTENING!?!

Taro: Thanks for the food... We should go now... Have a nice day!!

Aoki: Waittttt!! Before we leave, do you have something to teach us? Because old man doesn't have anything to teach us anymore and we just need to master what he taught us.

Odayashi: Tomorrow Morning, I will train you two. Get ready!
