*On the rooftops Kyle and Rem watches in the shadows*
" You've become too powerful, Akira " Rem said.
" You can't control Prime Energy "
Akira's eyes locked onto Aoi, and he had never felt a surge of excitement. He had never fought Aoi before, and was eager to see how their skills would match up.
Aoi, on the other hand, was calm and collected. Rem had been watching Akira fight Aoi and she had seen his incredible abilities. But she was not intimidated.
The two faced each other.
" Akira, just give us what you took away and we will leave you alone "
" And if I refuse ", Akira said with confidence.
Their eyes locked in a fierce stair.
" ok then, you leave me no choice ".
She then created a large axe with a long chain on the side, The air was intense with anticipation as they prepared for the battle to begin.
Akira charged forward, his fists trying to reach Aoi, But she was too fast, Before he knew she had swung her axe. Akira managed to dodge that attack with ease.
[ Skill in use : Dash ]
Aoi swung her axe once more, But Akira with a swift kick blocked the attack.
" System, how is she able to create objects from thin air "
[ Weapon Mastery, a skill only those who have understood how to use prime energy effectively have mastered this skill ]
" Just like that time with Maria ", Akira thought.
" I see "
The battle raged on, both sides trading blows and attacks. Akira's Prime Energy Accumulation skill was powerful, but Aoi's agility and quick reflexes allowed her to dodge and weave around his attacks.
As the fight continued, Akira began to realize that Aoi was a formidable opponent. She was fast agile, and powerful, and she seemed to be able to anticipate his every move.
Akira's eyes narrowed as he focused on the battle. He knew that he needed to use all of his strategies to defeat Aoi.
The two fighters clashed, their movements lightning-fast. The outcome of the battle was far from certain, and it seemed that anything could happen.
As the fight continued, Akira's Prime Energy Accumulation skill seemed to be giving him an edge. But Aoi was determined, and she refused to give up.
With both sides neither gaining upper hand. But the fight became clear that one person could emerge victorious.
Akira leaped high clashing with Aoi's axe shattering it into pieces with a single blow Aoi was swift to counter . But the outcome was far from certain, and the battle would rage on for a long time.

With new found determination Akira focused his energy and launched a powerful attack Aoi was caught off guard.
" Let's end this " Akira said.
[ Skill in use : Far sight ]
Akira took the advantage of the opening and pressed his attack. Aoi tried to defend herself, but it was too much.
In the end Akira emerged victorious. Aoi on the ground wasted, defeated.
Akira stood over her, his eyes locked onto hers.
" You're a formidable opponent, Aoi " , he said.
" So are you going to kill me now, Akira ", she said.
" I have no intention of doing that "
" Hmm, Akira strength isn't about power, it's about heart and determination "
Akira's eyes thoughtful. He knew that Aoi was right. He had learned a valuable lesson, one that would stay with him for the rest of his life.
The battle may be over, but the journey was far from over. Akira knew he would face many more challenges in the future, but was he ready.
Akira walked away from the battlefield, his chest heaving with exertion. He had emerged victorious, He couldn't shake off the feeling of hurting countless lives. That he had took things too far.
Rem watched him go, her eyes filled with concern. " I should go after him ", she said to Kyle.
But Kyle held her back. " No, let's just watch for now ". he said. " We don't know what he's capable off, especially in the state that he is in ".
" Let's take Aoi back to base and tend to her wounds "
Rem nodded, her eyes still fixed on Akira's retreating form. Kyle was right, of course. Aoi needed their attention now.
The carefully lifted Aoi's unconscious form and began to make their way back to base. Rem couldn't help but feel a sense of unease as they walked. What had happened ? Akira's power was growing stronger by the day.
As they arrived at base, Rem and Kyle carefully tended to Aoi's wounds. She was battled and bruised, but she would be okay.
Aoi's eyes flickered open, and she looked around in confusion. Rem's face appeared above her, a look of concern etched on her features.
Aoi's eyes widened as she sat up, her movements stiff. " What happened? ". she asked, her voice hoarse.
Rem helped Aoi sit up and handed her a glass of water. " You fought Akira ", Rem said.
" He's getting stronger ". Aoi said.
Aoi took a sip of water, her eyes thoughtful. She remembered the battle, the feeling of Akira's power coursing through his veins.
As she sat there, Aoi realized that she had feelings for Akira. She liked his determination his strength.
Rem watched Aoi's expressions, " Aoi, are you okay ?... u seemed distracted ", She said.
Rem looked up, her cheeks flushing.
" I'm fine, Rem "
Rem's expression softened " I know Aoi, We all are concerned about the entity , but we need to be careful "
" I don't want to see you hurt "
Aoi nodded, her heart heavy with emotion. She knew that Rem was right, but she couldn't help the way she felt.
As the two women sat there, Aoi realized that she had a lot to think about. she didn't know what to do about it.
What would come next, how did he get so strong and why didn't he finish her off
