Shino encounter the person that save the girls from an ambushed, The mysterious mask butler, and now the two are staring at each other, Shino sitting on a pile of tree trunks and the butler at the sea standing on top of the water, are they going to fight or not, no one is moving a single muscle nor has an intention to fight, yet, and Shino didn't know the fact that the girls was ambushed nor the person in front of him is the one that help them. Meanwhile the girls just came back to the clinic from the plaza and upon entering they saw Sora and Chico on the sofa drinking coffee while Nensho is laying on the ground, Robin instinctively grab Nensho and sat down to the sofa then put Nensho on her lap and pet him, Pyra sat down beside Robin while Scatillia said, "I'll get us something to drink" and Robin began telling their experience in plaza, upon hearing it Sora said, "Instead of Shino a person in a mask help you guys?" and then Robin replied, "Yeah, and I think he is as strong as Shino" then Pyra added, "He uses his element very well, and the way he dodge every attack is like he is dancing over it and also his weapon changes shape" Chico heard that the weapon of the mysterious mask person change and said, "Element Infusion" everyone look at Chico and Chico added, "I learned it before we got ambushed, Element Infusion can change the weapons shape and make every attack stronger" Sora then said, "You mention it before we got ambushed, what is exactly the difference of Element Infusion to magic application?" Pyra then said, "Shino mention to me before that using a weapon has some sort of limiter" Robin then asked, "Limiter? What is that?" Pyra replied, "uhm, limiter is something that prevents you from going stronger, It is actually the reason why Shino won't use his weapon" Sora then said, "but Shino said to us that the reason why Shino is not using his weapon is because it is his trump card" Pyra then said, "That is half true, he actually want his weapon to be his trump card, but he doesn't know how" Sora then said, "so he neither lie or tell us the truth, Shino is really clever"
Back at the beach, Shino and the mask butler are on stand still, the butler then said, "Mr. Shino, would you like to accept my request" Shino replied, "depending on your request Mr. Fox" the butler then laugh and said, "I'd like to request a duel" staring at each other Shino then said, "Even though I can't see your face, I can see that it doesn't matter if I answer yes or no" the butler then said, "Your instinct really scare me, Mr. Shino" then all of a sudden the butler grow 3 tails made out of water and rush toward Shino but Shino dodge it, the impact was enough to obliterate the pile of tree trunks and Shino said to himself, "that was fast" a consecutive attack of the tails made of water nearly hitting Shino and he is dodging it while rushing toward the butler, the butler confronted Shino and pulled out his kris sword Shino barely dodge the attack, the butler consecutively swing his sword and every swing from the butler was fast and only missing Shino by millimeter, the fight between sword and bare hand is intense, every block and swing create a wind that blows the sand away, Shino is in defense and to go to offence he uses a low kick that shocked and lost the balance of the butler and Shino then punch him and sent him flying to the sea, but the sea is like soft ground for the butler for he doesn't sink in the water but stand on top of it as if it was a solid ground, Shino then said, "Water and Fire really are not compatible" the butler can be seen running on top of the sea, rushing towards Shino and attacking him again, both using the sword and the tails, every attack are meant to kill, and Shino is stuck on defense, Shino then said to himself, "He is fast, that sword I can't really dodge it" then while Shino is dodging and blocking the butler then said, "Am I still not enough for you to pull out your weapon or is it because you can't use it" Shino is about to attack him but the butler back out and back to the top of the sea Shino then said, "No, you are more than enough" Shino pulled out his Wakizashi and the battle between swords has begun. The clash was powerful and both are equally match each strike creates a spark, and both are exhausted Shino then said, "You keep backing on the water, why?" the butler then said, "Knowing your element is fire, I know you can't touch me here, I have the advantage" Shino then said, "You clever freaking fox" as the two clashes their blade the butler then said, "Water can extinguish fire, there is no chance for you to win" Shino then said, "I wonder about that" the butler back out again in the water catching his breath, Shino then take this time to think, "Flying over there is not a good Idea, if he catch me that would be the end of me" The butler attacks again saying, "I have the upper hand, just admit your defeat" and their Sword clashes and Shino is still thinking on what to do as he defend, "Shooting him with the blunderbuss won't really work, with does speed he can easily dodge it, what do I need to do, if this keeps up my sword will broke"
Shino is thinking on what to do to get him the upper hand, then he remembers about the stick that turn into a wand and Shino then said, "Element Infusion, maybe that is the solution" the butler then said, "What are blubbering about?" the butler back out to the water after seeing Shino using his fire, he watch Shino who is in the shore on what he is about to do, Shino hold the sword reverse with its blade pointing on his back and it started to burn in blue fire, the fire gets bigger and Shino's eye glow then the butler said, "Wait, his sword has it" Shino then said, "Element Infusion" the wakizashi change it shape to an Katana with Blue and Red tone and he follow up it with the word, "Yanar Dag" The Katana burns in red flame Shino then release a burning slash, and it barely misses the butler who is in stand still, the slash was faster than the butler can react and the butler was puzzled and said, "Element Infusion? So you haven't bring out your full potential" the butler also uses his Element infusion and change his kris sword to the Dao, Blade of Seven Sea, and said, "You may have Element infusion, but you can't still get me in the water" Shino then prepares to charge and his legs and feet has start to glow red and burn and suddenly Shino dashes towards the masked butler who is in the water fast, faster than the blink of an eye, and the butler barely dodge the burning Katana then the butler laugh and said, "So you decide to fly through here, It is your lost!" as the butler turn around he was shocked, shocked to saw Shino standing in the water with a lot of smoke emitting below him, the butler was then really angered and said, "WHAT!? HOW!? HOW CAN YOU STAND?! THIS IS MY TERITORY!" Shino then said, "Water can extinguish fire, but fire can evaporate water" and with a grim smile Shino then said with a straight face, "remember that... Fox"
