James the Crow

Zero and Shifuku were training in secret using the underground room like they usually do every week. When they noticed something was amiss. The room is supposed to have no access unless Shifuku opens a path with his magic. The room is concealed with only a few vents that lead to the surface to use for air. They are so deep underground that any noise made would be nearly impossible to hear. Any shockwave created inside is cushioned by Shifuku creating a thick layer of sand around the room and then another solid layer atop of the sand. The room is covered in pillars of rock to use as they see fit for the training. Entering this time though something felt off. Like a presence they could not explain. They both blamed it on fatigue as this was their second time entering in one night. Zero had convinced Shifuku to train once more to test Zero's abilities to think under pressure. Nearly having no energy to go on Zero wanted to test how much his judgement would be impaired should he be part of a prolonged battle. They started with Zero creating a thick layer of his flames draining any magic he had left while Shifuku launched his Earth Bullets.
