The Case of Yuya Ikiragi has been closed after arresting Kajou and Karl by the help of Student Council members, Rika, Sagiri and Akashi (also know as Yukimura)
Ishida was resting on his bed and thinking about Fumi.
Ishida blames himself on what happen to Fumi but Tetsu convinced him to say it. Then, Ayami entered the room and says....
"Please stay away from Bomi!! Ishida Hanasaka!"
"I don't want you to be her friend anymore, So stay away from her!"
She looks angrily at him and trying to punch him.
"Wait... Please let Ishida rest. You can talk about that thing next time" Tetsu said when looking at Ayami.
Ayami looks away then says, "Please remember this, If something happens on Fumi. You'll pay for it. So please stay away from her." Ayami closes the door
Ishida didn't say anything then start closing his eyes.
"I see... I will lose something precious once again... I guess it's better to stay away from her. For Fumi's Sake.." He said while trying to sleep.
"Ishida.."
Tetsu holds the newspaper and start reading again.
At the next room of Infirmary, Karatsu, Hidashi, Ayami and other members of Scarlet Dream are waiting for her awake.
"Ms. Kirisaki said. Fumi still like this in 2 weeks. So, we need to watched and check her condition everyday." Karatsu said when Kisara is putting a bandage on his wounds.
"She's on Comatose!?" Hidashi asked.
Yukina slapped his head.
"No. She's not feeling well."
"That bastard. They're gay! Fumi can't fight them and they still hit her hard! Ouch!! Be Gentle!!" Hidashi screamed
"Sorry... Sorry.." Marika replied.
Rin sits beside her brother, looking his wounds and get worried.
"An-chan are you okay?"
"Y-yeah.. I'm okay.. Rin. Don't worry."
"Please be careful next time, An-chan" Rin advised.
Yukihara looks sadly at him and Fumi. She wants to help them but she's trying to stop herself.
Ayami sits on the chair, holding the picture of Ishida and cut it on a half.
"I will never forgive you... If something happens to her.."
Karatsu noticed that she's very upset and angry at Ishida.

"Nice to meet you, Fumi. I'm Ayami Park"
"Park? Korean last name?" Fumi looks at Ayami.

"They'll never touch me. I have a strong brother! He will crush them like a can"
Ayami and Fumi start laughing each other as Fumi's auntie arrives
"There you are, Let's go Fumi. Your grandfather is waiting for you" Her auntie said.
"Okay! Coming!" Fumi replied.
"Wait, Fumi." Ayami stops her.
"Why?" Fumi asked.
"As we meet today.. How about? Can we Friends?"
Ayami smiles at her then she shows her hand to her and Fumi shakes it.
"Of course! I'm glad that we can be friends. I have 2 friends." Fumi enters the Car then waves her hands.
"Me and...?" Ayami smiles then start walking.
"We will meet again!"
-Ayami's POV-
I'm Ayami Park.
I lived at Korea in 13 years and 3 years at Japan.
We are used to be a good friends. Me and Fumi. I'm always happy when playing and spending my time with her.
I'm anti-social before. But when i met her. Everything has change. I love it when she's the one who's always visiting me.
I appreciate it.
I realized that she's a Anti-Social too.
She told me that she lost her parents on a car accident and she lost her only friend. She was living on her Aunt and spend 2 years on this place. When she's sad and lonely then i will make her happy.
She told me, that she have old friend. his name is Ishida Hanasaka. It makes me think if Ishida is cool and nice guy. That will be my first time to have a boy friend.
After 1 year. My mother decided to go back on Korea. I never say goodbye to Fumi.
I was thinking if she's okay and i'm always worrying at her.
Fumi turns to be my important friend or Bestfriend.
[End Of Flashback]
Ayami's POV
(Ayami sits on the rooftop and looks on the dark sky)
I thought Ishida is a cool and nice guy.
Fumi said that he promised her that he will protect her. But.. he never kept it. Ishida didn't protect her. He let her involved on his problem..
I will never forgive. He don't deserve to be her friend.
(Karatsu appears on her back)
"You're worried about Bomi, right?" Karatsu asked.
Ayami shocked at him then slowly walk backward.
"Who are you? Are you the guy who hurt Bomi?"
"No! No! No! I'm not. I-i'm her friend. She's a part of our group. The Scarlet Dream" Karatsu replied.
Ayami looks madly at him.
"Why are you here? What do you want?"
"I'm here just ask you something. It looks like you're mad at Ishida. Do you hate him?"
"Of course!! I hate him! I don't know him well. So, I hate him!! He can't kept a promise!!" She said.
"I understand you. But.. It was unexpected. Ishida can't fight and protect her. Those bad guy beaten him up. That's why he's unable to protect her." Karatsu responded.
"I want him to avoid Bomi!! please tell it to him. Sorry for causing you a trouble" She bows then leaves.
"The man who promises everything is sure to fulfil nothing, and everyone who promises too much is in danger of using evil means in order to carry out his promises, and is already on the road to perdition." She added.
---
Two days later, Karatsu and others decided to attend their class and they let Kairi, Tetsu and Ayami take care of them.
Meanwhile, Tetsu get his coffee and enters Ishida's room. He noticed that Ishida escaped on the room.

At Fumi's room. She finally get her consciousness and ask where is Ishida.
"Ishida? Where is him?" Fumi ask.
"Don't mind him.. Bomi." Ayami said when looking at her.
"Why? Ishida is my friend! Why i'm going to ignore him?"
"Stop it! Ishida is not deserved to be your friend. He's a coward! He couldn't protect you!" A angry Ayami holds her shoulder tightly.
"Umm.. Please don't like that to her.." Kairi said.
"Start avoiding him right now!!! You'll get into trouble once again if you stay with h--"
"I WON'T!!!" Fumi shouted.
Ayami and Kairi are speechless. As they shocked on Fumi when she shouted.
"I won't! I don't care if get into trouble! involve in a accident with him! Ishida serve on me 2 years from now! My father trusted him. He protected me! I being bullied before. When he seen me getting bullied by others he will fight or warned them."
"He sacrifice the two years of school on protecting me. He wants to graduate on High school but he choose to protect him! When i seen him getting bullied by others i start protect him as well... I just want to return the favor.. Ayami.. Ishida is the coolest guy i ever meet!" Fumi wipes her tears as Ayami hugs her then she start crying.
"There's no reason to hate him right? He looks like a Delinquent guy but he has a good heart to protect someone like you" Kairi smiles at them.
"Sorry.. Sorry... Bomi!" Ayami cries also.
Ishida visited the grave of Yuya. He's holding his broken shoulder while placing the flower on it.
"I finally found your killer. You can rest in peace, Yuya." As he sits on the ground then looks at the grave.
"Yeah... Your case is finally closed but mine is not. I lost them again. I lost another people again. The group that helps me to be close at her. I lost everything now. I'm alone right now. I deserve it right?" Ishida tries to stopped his tears but it still falls to the ground.
"Sorry..." He cries on front of Yuya's grave when holding his necklace.
A black long haired girl pats his shoulder.
"Brother.."
Ishida looks at her as he shocked when Reina is on his back.
"Why are you crying, Brother?"
"I-is that you? Reina?"
"Y-yes brother."
"How did you know this place?" Ishida looks away at her.
"I always visiting this place when rest day. You really changed, Brother"

[Kisara]
I’m wandering unable to approach you
Although I like you I’m looking elsewhere
The more we try to get close
The more our hearts grow further
We are revolving because we can’t meet
We are like parallel lines
No way, we will meet
I will always wait
[Fumi]
I wasn’t able to tell you but I liked you
Like a dream from the younger days, like a miracle
If I could run through time and become an adult
I will hold your hand in this cruel world
[Yukina]
I try to approach you but we keep missing each other
I’m still unable to say that I like you
When I see you hesitate
I guess we are still too young
[Marika]
We aren’t closing in, that one tiny bit
We are like parallel lines
Someday I will tell you all the things I didn’t say
I will approach you always
[Ayami]
I wasn’t able to tell you but I liked you
Like a dream from the younger days, like a miracle
If I could run through time and become an adult
I will hold your hand in this cruel world
[Yukihara and Rin]
Even when we’re trapped in time and get lost
We will eventually meet
Please know that I am sincere
Only if you hurry
[Ayami]
I wasn’t able to tell you but I liked you
Like a dream from the younger days, like a miracle
If I could run through time and become an adult
I will hold your hand in this cruel world
[All of them]
Promise me this I hope you don’t change
Smile at me then like you do now
If time goes by and I become an adult
Amidst the divergence, I will hold your hand.
(Ayami waves her hand at Ishida. As Fumi do the same thing)
"Good, Good. You improved well. Keep the work hard. You'll reach the top"
Seiji said.
"YEAH!" They said.

The Paths of Magick
Credits: Story by Xcaliburnt. Cover Art by @Bervolart. Magick, the power to bend the laws of reality. All because of a mystical substance known as mana. Mages follow the Paths to achieve power, for there is no more addictive chase. Each Path winds and twists, forcing mages through the flames of adversity and challenge. Though the operative word is "path", the reality is far less straightforward. Instead of a road, Paths are like the branches of world trees, erupting into the heavens, intertwining, and ending in sharp snaps. Only the strongest reach the sky. There are several Paths, and many Ways to walk them—variations of the same Path, and like the stars, they are endless. Magick is the sacred flame that scours the fat, rendering the truest self. Superfluous flesh melting away to show the skeleton of one's being. A chance for ascension—apotheosis. Though not every mage works to godhood, if they survive long enough, It is inescapable. Witness the lives of those that tread the knife's edge of self-destruction. Each one intertwined in their search for answers, revenge, and, most of all: power. These individuals have all lost something precious—irreplaceable—and In search of filling the void left behind, they have taken up the mantle of a mage. Per aspera ad astra. Ad mortem vel divinitatis. (Through adversity to the stars. To death or divinity.) There is no consistent release schedule except my consistent inconsistency. Besides, there’s like a thousand pages worth of content, how can—you already read it? Goddamn. Oh, and there is a very long hiatus between volumes as I intend to edit and rewrite a lot. What to Expect: This story is progression fantasy, so expect a healthy dose of training. It's also heavy on slice of life, and it isn't entirely overarching-plot-driven. Expect characters to live their lives, and not always be on some quest to save the world. There's a lot of magic theory and discussion about it in the story. So, if you don't like impromptu lessons on sorcerous theory by traveling monster slayers, this might not be for you. But if you do like it, rejoice! For there is a lot of it. This is also heavy on prose, purple as a bruised eye. I use outdated, uneccesarily collegiate-level terms and play around with the writing style just for the heck of it. I find it fun to wax and wane poetic, and that might grate on you—I don’t plan to change this aspect of the Paths much if at all. Onto the viewer discretion is advised parts: This is grim-dark/ grim-heart. Take the tags seriously. There will be combat scenes that are brutal and horrifying. Fights to the death tend to be. This is a tale about medieval mercenaries (quite literal killers for hire), man-eating monsters, and eldritch gods beyond the material plane. Beside that, there will be traumatic events that are best left unread. I do not detail certain acts I find heinous enough, instead leaving some parts unwritten but still alludded to if not outright stated; there is simply no graphic narration thereof. This is not for the faint of heart.
