Koyuki turned towards Long Yu, ”Brother Long Yu, I hope you are ready for your bet.”

Long Yu gave a nod of confirmation towards her.

Koyuki just smiled at him, ”Well then the best person may win, and brother if the way I spoke with you has caused you some inconvenience please I beg for forgiveness from you.”, as she lowered her head to him.

Long Yu: ”Please raise your head there is no need to apologize, I know people underestimate me because of my age so please there is no need to apologize.”, as he raised his head trying to placate her.

Soon the participants entered the respective rooms, Ayesha and Long Yu both went inside a door marked 'Alchemy', whereas Helen and Ryofu entered the door marked as Array and Blacksmithing respectively.

Kyouki let out a sigh as she sat beside Veronica, ”I hope he doesn't humiliate us too much when we lose the bet.”

Veronica raised an eyebrow at the comment as she asked curiously, ”A prideful women like you giving up so early.”

Kyouki just gave a small smile as she replied, ”To be frank a part of me still believes in my teammates, but I know after seeing Long Yu in action that we might have bitten off more than we could chew. My master always warned me that because of my pride I tend to underestimate others and it would be my downfall, she was so right I underestimated him because of his age. I just hope that he won't humiliate us very much.”

Veronica just smiled at her, ”You are right in one aspect because of his age my team initially not only underestimated him but also were reluctant to his babysitter while we explored this ruins. But now we owe all our lives to him many times. But you should not worry because at the end of day he is a kid, nice kid but still a kid upon whom I had upmost trust that he will never do anything humiliating to you.”

Kyouki just smiled at her while she thought idly, 'Master was so right this trials are life changing, now I would have to find some way to stay in contact with him, when the trails are over I do not want to lose any kind of contact with him, I may have been irritated with him before but he is not bad, I wouldn't mind being his friend.'
