[Rescuing Ayuka: Arc 5]
'Henshin' a powerful technique which involves changing someone's Ginken and themselves. This strength is provided with incredible 'Spiritual Power', being one of the most difficult techniques to learn, it requires for a Ginkenian, Soul Caller or any other races to pressurize one Soul to their Ginken, one done so both Spirit and Aura combine into one, which might change someone's aura, depending on fusion. After the combination is set, the strength will sky-rocket, many Ginkenians cannot learn such technique, duo to low pressure of spirit and low strength.
Sometimes, 'Henshin' can be combined with another technique such as 'Spiritual Mode' for it to be more efficient, the technique's look will be considered after the inner Spirit of a Ginkenian and Ginken, when the pressure creates a barrier and insane aura, it will fully unlock such technique...

Codey, standing still and watching the unknown 'Kodachi' state, figured out what to do. "So ... this is your 'Kodachi' state?" With a question, Codey moved his leg. "That's right .... my Ginken is called Bakuhai, and I found out .... that your Ginken is also already in the 'Kodachi' state." With a serious offering of words, Ikamoto replied.
"I see you're somewhat noticeable .... but, yeah .... so .... surprised?" With a question, Ikamoto then made an approach and moved his Ginken, which now measured about 1 meter and 30 centimeters. "No answer is needed ..... but, your, leader .... a boy with white hair ..... his sword is already in the 'Kodachi' state .... or what?" With a serious look at Ikamoto, Codey smiled. "Of course it is .... you could probably already know that! Every Ginken which is not in the 'Kodachi' state has the shape of a katana or an ordinary sword ...." Codey spun his boomerang.
"Yeah, but, have you ever figured out why Ginken from your friend is already in the 'Kodachi' state?" Of course, Codey didn't have the right idea, so he wanted to inquire. "No .... tell me ..... if you already know?" With a smile, Ikamoto prepared for the presentation. "That sword .... that your friend is holding now .... has broken once, so that sword must work, all the time in the 'Kodachi' state." With the answer, Codey wanted to ask another advanced question. "And how am I supposed to know that? You haven't known Tim long enough ..." but, his Ginken is very famous in our environment .... Nensho is its name and Giovanni was an ancestor of that Ginken. " Codey thought.
"Ancestor? I think I figured that out before you told me ...." Codey took three steps to the side and never let go of his gaze from Ikamoto. "I think I would have understood that a long time ago ... don't you belong here .... since I saw you at C.A.C., winner .... but it looks like you thought about it and withdrew ..... you decided that you won't be a member of that clan ... why? " Ikamoto leaned back and asked. "Considerations exist .... I have decided to accept Tim's friendship ...., I think freedom is more important to me than to working with a court guard like you ...." With the explanation, Codey, now, re-prepared and spun the boomerang on his wrist.
"Reflections, freedom and friendship ...., aha .... a trio of familiar fantasies ..... but, I understand you, working with a court guard is not an appropriate freedom or concentration on your life, because you have to cooperate and do whatever they tell you ..... "Ikamoto had already watched if Codey accidentally attacked, but luckily, not yet. "Well, so explain to me .... why did you decide to become a member .... of the Spiritual Realm?" A quick response was awaited when Codey wanted to inquire. "Why? I didn't have an option ..., during the moment I heard that I could become a lieutenant or even a captain .... I grew modestly. With such an option, of course, I didn't change my mind, so I was accepted under the fourth clan. ., over time I became a lieutenant ..... "Ikamoto began to explain how this happened, but for you ....,

During the fourth clan meeting, Ikamoto immediately joined, but for now he was barely a member. Nuuju, who was once the captain of this clan, arranged a meeting with the whole clan. "Okay ...., from the Chief Captain, Himurya Shezaki, we were placed on the mission area as the fourth clan, we have to inquire in which part of the Spiritual Area the attacks from the Demons were commanded, so I will send the quartet to the south, outside the walls . " Ikamoto listened to Nuuju, who stood and was quite serious. "Captain Imigato, may I ask why they chose our clan?" Ikamoto dared to ask, because he was not yet a lieutenant, he was dressed in plain Ginkenian clothes. "Ikamoto .... this question was unnecessary ..." With an awkward shift, Ikamoto apologized. "Uh, of course .... I'm sorry ..." With that, Ikamoto looked away.
"I have decided to send on this mission .... Aimi Nurosaki, Haru Menba, Asahi Karuku and you ... Ikamoto Hihaga ..." At this reply, Ikamoto was surprised. "Ikamoto, um .... I haven't expected that in a long time ....." Asahi checked to Ikamoto, who was a little shocked. "Captain Nuuju .... why did you choose, Ikamoto .... since he's all scared?" Aimi asked in an angry accent. "Silence ...., Ikamoto, wanted to tackle a serious mission, so, I chose him, no more questions .... head to the southern part of the Spiritual Area ....., the mission is happening in the city, Tahaki , find out how the Demons appear on that page, and when you find out, hurry up and find the person responsible for it .... understandable? " With silence, these four Ginkenians, nodded and undermined the mission with a reception.
- A few minutes later -
|Spiritual Realm - Society (Southern forest) - Monday, 4:40 p.m.|
The team that was sent continued their journey through the forest. "I can't believe Nuuju chose you as the leader of this team ... I'd rather vomit ..." With an angry and innocent face, Aimi immediately got angry. "Would you shut up already ... if you want to stay in the clan listen to these commands ..." Asahi said and walked at the back. "Ah, come on, do you really think Ikamoto is capable enough of this kind of operation .... this is his first, more difficult mission, and he ... he's the leader of the three of us .... I don't intend to listen ... "Aimi approached the front, in front of Ikamoto. "My God .... who came up with the idea of you.... for this mission, since you are worse than some Ginekenians .... Jesus ..." With anger and annoyance, Haru advanced with an answer. "Oh, come on, don't pretend to be smart ...." Ikamoto ignored the others all the time and tried to focus on the mission. "Hey! Don't act like I'm not here, Ikamoto, hello !! What did someone eat your tongue ...., eh .... who cares ...." Aimi leaned back with her arms crossed. "Calm down Aimi, we don't have time for such non-cooperation .... just listen to what Ikamoto will do and what he will command us .... let him show that he is capable ...." Haru and Asahi both agreed.
But the moment Ikamoto stopped, the others also, only Aimi, continued on her way. "Oh .... come on, what, you're scared and you've already given up .... okay, let me lead this team ..." However, Ikamoto replied quickly. "Don't move! There's something around us!" Ikamoto was loud and then silenced himself. "Eh? Seriously, as I see it, there's no one here ... I don't mark either." "Just listen, someone is around us, and preparing to attack ..." Of course, because Aimi was an incapable person in cooperating or listening, but namely, she preferred to cooperate with herself, she took a step forward and at that moment . "Watch out! Look!" When Ikamoto called out, Aimi quickly turned to the side and noticed a humble Demon jumping towards her and pushing her across the floor in surprise. "Ah!" With a call, the Demon pushed her to the ground and wounded her by stabbing her with his sharp claws. "Aimi!" Ikamoto quickly called his Ginken and ran quickly forward, with Haru and Asahi running towards the Demon. "Get down from me!" However, the screaming did nothing to help Aima, but only hurt her further. Ikamoto quickly swung with Ginken and cut through the Demon's head, and the moment the Demon bounced away, the next group of these Demons appeared, but all in all there were only three of them. "Take my hand!" Haru called out loud and helped Aimi to her feet, she was modestly wounded and musted to lean against a tree. "Asahi, Ikamoto! Try to kill those two demons, I have to watch out for Aimi, she's wounded, very much!" Of course, those two nodded and got ready.
Ikamoto and Asahi were already holding their Ginken and so those three Demons attacked like that, by leaping forward, both Demons swung their arms, but, Ikamoto defended himself with Ginken and cut through that demon's arm. Asahi, however, quickly knelt down and then cut up, stabbed the Demon and knocked him into the air, then the third Demon quickly joined the duel and started jumping through and through the trees, around the others. "It's so fast, I can't detect it properly!" At such a moment, however, the Demon quickly bounced off the tree and immediately appeared behind Ikamoto's neck. "Ikamoto! Look! Watch out, behind you!" With a shout, Haru called out and, Ikamoto quickly knelt down and then slid to the side, but he didn't run away without a wound, instead he was cut in the neck, luckily the wound wasn't deep enough to kill him. Ikamoto quickly corrected himself with the approach and wiped the blood. Asahi, on the other hand, was quickly attacked by another Demon, but, he quickly cut through the body of this Demon, and with such a swing he also halved the Demon and pushed him aside. "Just two more!" He shouted Haru loudly. Ikamoto, however, looked towards the Demon that had wounded him a little before. The demon crawled on the ground and never let go glance of Ikamoto. "Damn .... I don't know how to catch him, he's too fast!" Ikamoto thought however, at that the Demon immediately disappeared from the spot and began to move through the trees again. Without Ikamoto being able to follow him, he corrected himself and tried to detect when this Demon would attack.
"Damn it! It must be the Demons reigning in this environment. We must kill them, now, immediately!" Ikamoto shouted loudly. "Give us orders!" Of course, Ikamoto responded quickly. "Okay .... Haru, stand by Aima and make sure she doesn't get hurt .... Asahi, I'll run ahead, meanwhile bring the Demon through this path." Ikamoto called quickly and was serious with an attentive hand. "And how is that supposed to help us?" Of course, Ikamoto ignored the question and just answered that way. "Just do it when I give you a signal, hurry up!" Fortunately, Asahi listened to him and trusted him. "Okay ... I understand ..." They both stood together and turned their backs on each other. "How long until the sign?"
"Wait ... a little more .... a little more ..." The demon continued to jump through the trees and then bounced into them. "Now! Go!" At that, they both bounced aside and the Demon drove his fists into the ground. "I hope it works!" Asahi was a little scared but luckily, the Demon followed him through the trees and the path. "I can't believe it, I see why the previous Ginkenians didn't get rid of these Demons! This one is too fast!" He continued running fast as he watched the fast Demon behind him jump obliquely and approach quickly. "Gahahahah! Where are you running to, boy? You think you can escape! You are wrong!" The demon could also speak which was somehow rare. "Shit! He's going to catch me, what did Ikamoto mean by that ?!" The demon was now, slipping down a branch and then quickly jumping towards Asahi's back. This made his eyes tremble. "Looks like that's it!" Asahi closed his eyes, but at that moment, a long and sharp blade flew through the left sides past the forest and cut through the Demon's neck, before which his eyes trembled.
"What the hell?" Asahi slipped and looked to his left. Ikamoto joined from that side and cut through the body, next to which he immediately killed the Demon, and Asahi stopped with a slip. "I have it!" Ikamoto was serious and took a deep breath. "That was your plan? What if you missed it ?!" Asahi asked, but Ikamoto looked at him. "That's why I needed your confidentiality .... so we succeeded ..." Ikamoto was serious, his Ginken was in 'Kodachi' state but it quickly changed back.
Asahi smiled. "Well maybe you were a little crazy, but we made it .... thank you ... Ikamoto .... from now on you have my trust always!" Asahi and Ikamoto checked into the city and the people who lived there thanked them with a smile. At that, Ikamoto was known as the hero of that part of town. "Hurry up! We need to get back to Aimi and Haru!" With a nod added, they both ran toward them. Luckily, Aimi survived and had a very severe wound, but with success they returned to the clan and overcame the good news.
- A few minutes later -
|Spiritual Realm - Society - Monday, 5:30 p.m.|
With the return of Ikamoto and the others, Nuuju called a meeting again. "Ikamoto, Haru, Aimi and Asahi .... I am very surprised, finally ...., a successful team that stopped this danger .... I would like to thank you, especially you, Ikamoto ... your cooperation and your commands were very valuable, well ... Aimi, maybe she was really a little uncooperative, but you succeeded .... "Nuuju looked quite happy and very proud. "They succeeded .... when Captain Imigato sent them .... I thought they were incapable of this mission, but ... they succeeded ... haha." One of the members smiled, the other nodded. "But, Ikamoto, your planned move at the end was surprising ...., the previous teams when they were sent on this mission all fell .... but, you, you and Asahi succeeded ..... that's why I decided ..... Ikamoto I'm promoting you as a fourth clan lieutenant .... congratulations! " When, Nuuju uttered these words, the remaining Ginkenians and members began to trust Ikamoto and he eventually became one of the most skilled members in the fourth clan.

|Spiritual Realm - Society (Southern) - Tuesday, 5:15 p.m.|
"Surprisingly .... you became a lieutenant after the first difficult mission ..... however, that doesn't mean I'm going to give up because of it ...." Codey watched Ikamoto standing with a serious face. "Nobody .... said you had to .... so get ready!"
