I hadn't heard of ToG until the anime came out. I started reading the comic after seeing the tenth episode, but I picked up from where I left off in the story rather than read form the beginning. So I see now how they changed that scene. I'm sorry for the confusion.

In the anime, we see Akryung react as if he were stabbed at the same time Rachel was. Then he disappeared from the waiting room in front of witnesses. To me it looked like any damage that was supposed to affect Rachel would instead happen to him. Perhaps he teleported, but we saw that has an obvious Shinsu effect, and I don't think I've seen anyone invisibly manipulate Shinsu. Either way, it seems to me that his only purpose was to assist Rachel with the tests and absorb one fatal attack for her.

They must have changed the scene for a reason. I expect we'll still see him again as long as the anime makes it that far.
