"You courted death. Don't blame me." With the assailant's demise, his breath faded instantly. Clearly, he was beyond saving, yet Johnny's voice dripped with cold indifference.
"Ding! Red Gang Boss eliminated. As per the host's request, the devouring will be converted into devouring points. A total of 90 devouring points will be awarded!" The Spectre, now beside the red-haired bones, dissipated into black psionic energy with contentment, while Johnny received a prompt from the system.
Shaking away the thoughts I lined myself up and ran towards the wall and closed my eyes. I braced myself for impact but nothing came, only a sensation as if you just got out of the water flooded my senses. I opened my eyes only to be stunned by the scene. It was colourful, cheerful and boisterous all in one. parents and children running around here and there, all dressed in weird clothes. some came in uniform like I did and some were still in their normal clothes. It was just- chaotic. I even saw the Weasley family running around as if they had their ass on fire. They sported their Iconic second-hand clothes. It was like they just put on whatever they could find.
"Tom today we will be taking you to Kings Cross Station. Make sure you have everything packed before we leave, you don't want to miss anything." said Luke as he put his paper down.

After a hearty breakfast, I made sure to put Aria in her cage before we got ready and then drove to the train station. I hugged them goodbye and walked into the station with a trolley that had my trunk and Aria on it. I soon reached platforms 9 and 10 where I saw the pillar I was supposed to go through. It really did seem idiotic to run through a wall with a trolly.
That was my only wish. to be in their position. To feel the warmth of a mother's embrace. But that was where that train of thought stopped. Not of my own volition, but due to the front bumper of the white truck ramming into my head at 60kmph.
"Listen, my brethren. I understand your rage, he was my father and I, of all people desire a truce. If we do not find an agreement, then, we shall destroy them to pieces!"
It was midnight and most of the shinobi were all the in the resting quarters, but a lone figure could be spotted at the training ground despite the late night.
It wasn't the end of the training. It was only the beginning. Once Utakata mastered the basics, he was introduced to tactical thinking. Harusame taught Utakata about analyzing opponents, identifying their weaknesses, and developing strategies to exploit them. Utakata learned to assess situations and make informed choices during battles or missions.
