”It's getting really late” He added.

”I am, I'm just here to say goodnight to the both of you” Yuki replied.

”And good luck tomorrow big brother, I won't be holding back so be ready” She added causing Shizen to smile as Yuki headed out the room.

”Goodnight” Both Shizen and Ryūsei stated as they wave their hands to Yuki.

After Yuki left the two brothers, An awkward silence occurred in the room and after 30 mins Ryūsei decided to talk breaking the silence.

”Shizen, you're still injured right?” Ryūsei asked shocking Shizen.

”Why are you pushing yourself” Ryūsei added causing Shizen to smile.

”I see you've noticed it” Shizen stated as he smiled.

”When you grabbed my hand earlier, I've notice that you were having a hard time moving your right arm” Ryūsei stated.

”You're observation skills have improved, My injuries haven't fully healed but I'm still going to fight your sister tommorow” Shizen happily said

”If I don't she won't accept the victory tommorow no matter what” He added.

”But still you shouldn't push yourself” Ryūsei stated.

”We'll just see what happens tomorrow” Shizen happily said.

”Goodnight Ryūsei see you tomorrow” He added as he pats Ryūsei on the back and leaves the room.

After Shizen left Ryūsei remained in the living room until he fall asleep an hour later.

Ryūsei then woke up pretty early as the sky was still dark and the sun won't shine for 2 more hours.

He then heads to his room took a shower and prepares himself for the day.

After preparing himself he then headed to dining room ate his breakfast and headed out to the garden.

”Meteor Dragon Sword Dance” Ryūsei then chanted a spell and 8 white swords made of light appeared in the air behind Ryūsei.

”Meteor Dragon Photon Blade”Ryūsei then chanted a spell creating a white sword made of light in his right hand.

The floating white swords made of light then disperse away from Ryūsei and attacks him from all directions.

Ryūsei then practices his swordsmanship by using the photon blade in his hands.

He practiced there for an hour before he heard a familiar voice behind him.

”Big brother what are you doing here so early”

Ryūsei then around seeing a half awake Rei walking in the garden.

”Rei you're already awake?” Ryūsei exclaimed as the floating white swords and the photon blade in his hands disappeared.

”Did I wake you?” Ryūsei concernly asked.

”I'm sorry” He added.

”No big brother, Dad woke me up early” Rei happily replied.

”Are Shizen and Yuki awake yet?” Ryūsei asked.

”Yep, I saw both of them preparing for the match later” Rei replied causing Ryūsei to smile.

”Do you want to practice with me while we wait?” Ryūsei happily asked.

”Sure!” Rei happily said but unfortunately she suddenly look down afterwards with a frown on her face.

”Rei what's wrong?” Ryūsei curiously asked.

”It's just that I don't know how to control my Elemental Art...” Rei muttered.

”Do you want me to teach you the basics while we wait for them?” Ryūsei happily asked and Rei excitedly nodded in response.

Ryūsei and Rei then began to practice in the garden and after a while Yuki and Shizen headed outside and all of them headed to Arashi's Arena.

They arrived at the arena at mid noon because they had to visit their friends and ate a nearby cafe because Shizen forgot to his ate breakfast.

~~~~~~ At The Arashi Arena ~~~~~~

Everyone around the Kingdom arrived at the arena and they're all gathering at the spectators area waiting for the match to began.

Ryūsei however wasn't paying attention as he was thinking something he was feeling awfully strange.

”Rei said she wasn't capable of controlling her Elemental Art but wasn't she able control the weather back then” Ryūsei muttered in thought.

”It must've been instinct or maybe it's her ability... Still she's going to be a powerful Elementalist” He added.

But before Ryūsei could mutter in thought more the crowd around him started cheering as the match finally began.

”The 2nd match of the 2nd Round has finally began, Contestants please enter the arena” The announcer happily said.

”I'm your host for today Prof. Volt and with me is my partner Prof. Hex” He happily added.
