][][][In a place between the world of the living and the world where spirits live before they go to heaven and hell the different versions of death meet once again.
"So they have finally gathered together." the Grimreaper says as he looks at the three that they managed to rescue.
"Shall we get started?" Azarel says this other-selves.
"Why the rush, let them be free of the burden for a little while longer, either way, they can't escape their fate." The Cayote says his other self as he spins his Scyths in his hands.
"Humans live, work, spend time however they want or have to and then they die. Isn't that already a burden that they did not choose." the Grymmreaper says to Cayote.
"Instinct can't be denied, we can stop ourselves from taking lives but our presence alone makes it happen, it doesn't matter what we want."
"Everything that you just said can be said about the animals and even our enemies. What I question is this, should we throw them into the fire or let them choose to enter it."
'If they reject it, then it will consume them. If they choose to enter it, then they will come out stronger for it, but if we throw them into it."
'Then we could make them our enemies." coyote says to his other selves, as he looks at the woman sitting next to Hachiman like a predator who has found his next meal.
"That is not for us to decide."
"I have already spoken to Aqua and because Kazuma is her champion, all that we can do for him is grant him our blessings, but his allies can gain far more from us than spirit control and manipulation." Azrael says to his other selves.
'Weapons" "Familiars." The Coyote and the Grimm Reaper say to Azrael.
"While I agree with Coyote that we should let them choose to enter the path set for them or not, that is not a choice that they have as they would end up in it regardless."
"The same goes for your way of doing things Azrael, duty is something that must be done, even if someone doesn't want to do it."
"It is their choice in how they choose to enter this world and how they perform this duty." the Grim Reaper says.
"Then how will we act?" Azrael asks his other selves.
"We don't, we let them choose how they react to the situations that they find themselves in, and when the time comes we offer our hand.'"
"If that means that we involve ourselves directly or not depends on their choice." the Grim Reaper answers Azrael.

Hachiman lay on the floor of his room, his life had been one problem after another, first, he was hit by a car on his first day of school and because of that, he was forced to stay home.
So by the time that he finally managed to enter high school, everyone had already made friends and that was fine by him, but the problem was, that he was behind everyone else in every subject.
He tried to do his best to get back all of the points that he had lost, but in the end, he ended up failing, and unfortunately, that meant that the school would not allow him to attend it anymore.
His parents tried to find another school but in the end, they were forced to give up, that was until his dad decided that if he couldn't go to school in Japan then he would have to do it somewhere else.
His dad planned to send him to America, but he changed his mind because Hachima would be too far from home.
So he was now here in a place somewhere between Japan, the Kingdom of Vale, and America.
'How am I going to explain this?" he thought to himself, before looking at Kira who was sleeping on his bed.
Hachiman can still remember the old man's words before he threw him and Kira out of the mansion.
"Just because you want to say something at the moment, if you can't help anyone don't say anything, because you will just make everything worse." those were the words that the old man said to him.
Hachiman was forced to abandon his thoughts when Kazuma opened his door.
"Both of you get up its an emergency, we have work to do." Kazuma says to him and Kira.
"But she doesn't." Hachiman tried to tell Kazuma that Kira didn't have any powers.
"She will learn." Kazuma says to him as he reaches for something.
Hachiman can only watch as Kazuma hands him a plastic sword, and then he hands Kira a necklace that has a plastic star attached to it.
"Unlike Jaune neither of you comes from a family of Huntsmen, so you need weapons that won't attract attention to you. That way you don't have to deal with the police." Kazma says to them.
'You ready?" Kazuma asks Jaune who says yes to him.
'How do we use these?" Hachiman asks Kazuma as he stands up.
"You just do, I can't explain it to you. It's something that you can just feel." Kazuma answers him.
Hachiman was about to say something when a blue light fills the room, he looks back and sees that Kira was holding a bow made of blue light.
He doesn't say anything as he closes his eyes and tries to feel something, but as much as he tries he isn't able to.
Yet when he opened his eyes he found that his plastic sword had changed into something that he now knew was a Hanger, but it wasn't alone, as forwarder a reason he was now holding a Saber in his other hand.
