It had been a week since Asuka had been taken from me. I could feel her fear and sorrow through our connection. I didn't know exactly where she was, but I knew how to find her. Now that my body had healed from fighting the thousand arms, I was ready. I grabbed the invitation card and looked at the address. It was a fancy hotel run by the Akatsuki Group. On the outside, they were a powerhouse with hotels, restaurants, and other businesses. They were big shots. However, their real identity was the thousand arms, a black market group that dealt in the occult. They sought the greatest powers out there.

When evening came around, I dressed and went to the hotel. I slid the invitation to the woman at the front desk. "I'm here for this event," I said, my voice level.

The woman looked at me carefully, then smiled. "Certainly, sir. I'll guide you."

The woman used a key and entered the code for a basement floor. I was led to a lavish waiting room, but it wasn't for VIPs. It was for the fighters. I did stretches in the room while I waited, and I received a visitor. It was a person in a red cloak, one of the thousand arms directly under the boss, I figured. Beneath his robes, he had hundreds of black arm-like appendages. "Touji-sama, I'm glad you came. We were worried you wouldn't."

"Cut the crap. What do you want?"

"A good show. Don't worry, we won't hurt the girl. If you can defeat all of your opponents tonight, we will return her unharmed."

His voice made my stomach churn in fury. He was lying through his teeth, but I had no choice but to go with it. I couldn't fight a whole army, even at full power. "Fine. I'll fight. You'd better keep your word, though. If you don't, I'll be coming for your boss."

"Of course. We are honorable," he said, then bowed out. "Best of luck, Touji-sama."<|im_end|>
