(Third POV: Souei)
A ring appeared on Souei's right-hand ring finger. The curse that came out from behind him had two hands, no legs, and gray skin with black lightning-like marks decorating its skin.
It had neither eyes on its face nor ears. Its mouth had knife-like, thin teeth. "Yuta!" The creature screamed in the air.
"Rika, I need you to hold your hand out toward me," Souei said to the creature, now known as Rika. Feeling himself beginning to fall, Souei acted fast.
Rika put her hand against Souei, only for him to reorient himself mid-air and position his feet on her hand.
Pushing off Rika's hand, Souei soars through the air. The worm curse opened its mouth to catch him. Souei saw it do this and smiled.
"You want something to eat? Eat this sword, bitch!" Souei said as he pulled back his sword and stuck a portion of it in the creature's mouth.
But Souei was still going downward at a rapid pace. What does that mean for the curse? Souei's blade was pulled straight through the creature, traveling along its body.
Blood gushed from the opening left as Souei's blade was dragged down the creature's side.
Right before landing on the ground, Souei yanked his blade out, as it also helped slow his fall and reorient himself in mid-air again.
Landing on the ground in a crouching position, Souei smiled. Rika landed with a thud behind him as the worm curse was borderline cut in half.

"Good shit, Rika! That's what I like to see!" Souei said it like a couch that just saw their star player land a touchdown.
"Yuta! I did good!" Rika said as she walked closer to Souei. Being right behind him made Souei get up from crouching and turn to her.
"That's right, you did amazing! No one tops you!" Souei said as he began softly rubbing Rika's face. Rika began shivering as Souei rubbed her face.
Sadly, their private time was ruined as Souei saw the original black skeletons that were chasing them, plus even more enemies.
"How about this? You get the ones on the left, and I get the ones on the right. And after that, we go home and cuddle." Souei ended his sentence with a 'light skin smile'; he saw work once.
"Yuta,YUTA!" Rika said as she shivered. It seemed Souei's smile and charisma had affected her too much. She grabbed Souei, lifting him into the air, and began rubbing her cheek against his.
After showing a tiny amount of her affection, Rika put Souei down gently, as if he were a flower.
"Alright, let's do this! I'm ready to go home and cuddle my girl!" Souei said as he turned in the opposite direction Rika was facing.
He didn't notice the shudder that Rika had gone through, though, as he sprinted forward toward the cursed spirits.

(Third POV:)
Everyone besides Shizu and Souei sat on the couch in the top-floor penthouse. They had been fighting all night.
They had been fighting so long that the sun had started to come out, and only when they didn't have enough enemies did they go back to the hotel.
When they finally all got back, they decided to tell each other a bit about their progress. The TV was on as well, yet the only thing they could agree to watch were clips of Lethal Company.
"So, Omni, Akira, how was your progress?" Ghost asked as he changed the YouTube video on the TV.
""I did some off-camera grinding." Both Omni and Akira replied at the same time as if they didn't want to give any information away about how well they did.
"So you guys don't want to give any information, huh? Sloth and Mahitoasm are doing the same." Ghost spoke as he watched someone get their neck snapped by a Braken on the TV.
Sloth frowned upon hearing this. Looking at the chat, it was clear to see their progress, so nobody could truly hide anything.
{Yuji Ghost has made the advancement: Grade 4 Sorcerer}
{Todo Cursed has made the advancement: Grade 4 Sorcerer}
{Yuta Souei has made the advancement: Grade 4 Sorcerer}
{Geto Sloth has made the advancement: Grade 4 Sorcerer}
{Sceptix Fushiguro has made the advancement: Grade 4 Sorcerer}
{Akira Fushiguro has made the advancement: Grade 4 Sorcerer}
{Omni Gojo has made the advancement: Grade 4 Sorcerer}
'I got way more curses than I thought I would. With the many small flying ones I have, I'll use them to survey the surrounding area.
If I'm lucky, they'll find something good for me, like a strong curse further away from us.' Sloth thought as he got up from the couch and stretched.
"I'm going to a market I saw not far from us. I'll bring back some cereal and milk. Mahitoasm, don't forget what you promised." Sloth said before heading to the elevator. Mahitoasm nodded to him before looking back at the screen.
This interaction got some of the others interested. But none of them questioned what the deal they made was.
"By the way, where are Shizu and Souei?" Sceptix asked as he lay down on the couch with an almost sleepy expression.
"Shizu said she was going to bed, and Souei made a deal to cuddle with Rika," Omni said as he turned to Ghost and nodded.
Ghost, seeing his nod, got up from the couch. "If you need me, I'll be training with Ghost," Omni said as he grabbed Ghost by the back of his shirt and ran to the balcony.
He proceeded to jump off with Ghost in his grasp. The others watched as he did this, only to return their attention to the TV.
"What did you do to train, Sceptix?" Cursed spoke to Sceptix as he drank some of the soda he had gotten from the restaurant.
"Nothing much. I sent the Divine Dogs, White, and Black, to the forest. White died, and I got Totality. I've just been sitting here as Totality kills curses for me." Sceptix explained to Cursed in his droopy-eyed state.
Both Mahitoasm and Akira slowly turned to Sceptix. ""So you've been sitting on your ass doing nothing?"" Both of them said it at the same time, and they couldn't believe what they just heard.
"Yeah, work smarter, not harder, fuckers." Sceptix said as he closed his eyes as if he would be allowed to go to sleep now.
Both Mahitoasm and Akira stood up. "Lazy piece of shit sat on his ass while we worked!" Akira clenched his fists as he spoke with rage in his voice.
"This motherfucker! I just knew you were going to say some stupid shit, Sceptix!" Mahitoasm also clenched his fists as both he and Akira stood in front of the closed-eyed Sceptix.
They both looked at each other and nodded. Mahitoasm was the first, and he grabbed Sceptix by the legs as Akira grabbed him by his arms.
"What the fuck are you doing?" Sceptix began to try and break from the grip they held him in. Kicking and punching didn't help as they carried him toward the pool.
"I didn't even spend all my time watching TV! I didn't know what Shizu and Souei were doing!" Sceptix yelled as he tried to argue his case. His pleas fell on deaf ears as they carried him closer to the pool.
Seeing the pool, Sceptix's eyes widened. "You fuckers better not dr-!" Sceptix wasn't allowed to finish that sentence as they threw him in the air.
Time seemed to slow down as Sceptix soared through the air. They were already close to the pool, and he was currently going down.
Turning his head to Akira and Mahitoasm, he saw them pointing down with shit-eating grins. Looking down, Sceptix saw the approaching water.
'For what is a man? What has he got?' Sceptix began thinking as the water got closer.
'To say the things he truly feels!' He thought again as the water was almost to his face.
'I took the blows! And did it my way..." Those were Sceptix's last thoughts as the song sped through his head before he hit the water.
*Splash*
His entire body fell into the water as Akira and Mahitoasm walked back to the couch.
*Gasp*
Sceptix took a deep breath right as his head breached the surface of the water. Wiping the water from his face, he swam to the ladder of the pool.
Getting out of the pool soaked in water and not wanting to get the carpet wet, he began taking off his clothes.
Someone had left a towel on one of the folding chairs, and so he got down to his underwear and began drying himself.
Wrapping the towel around himself, he went to the living room and walked past the duo that dunked him into the pool.
He went to put his clothes in the washer, and as he did that, he got a full change of clothes from his inventory.
Putting on light blue pajamas, he walked to the couch with the towel drying his hair. Sitting down now, wide awake due to the dunk, he watched more of the Lethal Company compilation as he waited to get his clothes out of the washer and into the dryer.
"Both of you are fucked up for that!" Sceptix said it with murder in his eyes. If it affected either of them, then they didn't show it.
"Sucks to suck," Mahitoasm said as Cursed could barely hold in his laugh.
"Just block, parry, or dodge. It's not hard." Akira said as he shook his head with the expression of an old teacher who had just watched his student get hit.
"HAHAHAHHA!" Cursed burst into laughter as he fell off the couch. Sceptix, seeing him laugh, looked at him like he belonged in a mental ward.
By the time Sloth got back with the cereal he supposedly wanted to get, Cursed had already retreated to his room. Placing the cereal on top of one of the fridges, along with placing new bowls in the cabinet, he also put the milk in the fridge while shaking his head, as he almost forgot to put it in there. Sloth then sat down on the couch.
*Yawn*
The couch gang now had four people again. The number would soon go up as Shizu walked through with a yawn.
The yawn announced her presence as Mahitoasm, Akira, Sloth, and Sceptix turned around. Yet they would not be turning back around for a full minute.
Shizu was wearing fully black pajamas that had a midriff. The part that had them stuck was the fact that due to Shizu having 'greater assets' than the average woman, the midriff was large.
In fact, the top half of the pajamas barely covered the bottom of her breasts. It was just enough to activate a neuron or two, but not enough to see anything substantial.
As Shizu walked by, four heads followed her movements. When she got to the kitchen, she began trying to reach for the cereal. Due to her height, she was unable to reach the cereal, but she did reveal her backside to the four on the couch.
If anyone else were in the room, they would see eight eyes widen as Shizu reached for the cereal.
"Lord, forgive me, for I am about to sin." That was the only thing that was said aloud. It was in a whisper, and which one of the four did it, none of them knows.
By the time Shizu finally got the cereal and sat down, all of the people on the couch had returned their attention to the TV. But they only had one thought running through their heads.
'That is Shizu, that is Shizu, that is Shizu!' They all started eying each other with various levels of intensity. One thought overpowered all of the others, though.
'We can NOT let Souei see what we saw!' And with just their looks alone, they all made a promise.
