"You two wake up! Today is the day!"
Kuragami and Sasaki are in a hotel room in Danketsu City. Kiyoshi wakes them up since it's finally the day. The day of the Shorai Skirmish.
"Hey Kuragami, why do you look so down?"
Kuragami looks worried. Normally he would be excited.
"I'm just worried about Sayo."
"I already told you Kuragami. Your brother will save her. You have nothing to worry about."
"Yeah. Your right."
Kuragami and Sasaki both get ready to go out.
In the Space Section, Daku is sitting on the top of a hill.
"Todays the day. The day where they separate the strong from the weak. Kuragami Nozomi. As long as we're breathing the same air, we both can't be strong. One of us has to be labelled as weak. And it's not gonna be me!"
"Your pumped up for today Daku."
Daku looks back. It's Hoshiko. She sits down next to Daku.
"You and Kuragami are gonna have a rematch. Even if you're on the same team. Apparently he's a lot stronger than before."
"He's still weak. And I'm not worried about him. I'm worried about the swordsman."
"Who Sasaki?"
Hoshiko starts laughing.
"He's a weakling. I'll handle him easily."
"You say he's weak but he's third and you're fourth."
"That doesn't mean anything. Watch. My light speed attacks will make him beg for mercy."
"Hoshiko."
"Yeah?"
"He's gonna beat you. Accept it. He's stronger than you."
"I thought we were teammates! You're supposed to be encouraging me!"
"I'm just telling the truth. Nothing more."
"Screw you Daku."
Hoshiko stands up and runs off furiously.
"I'll show him. I'll show everyone. I'll defeat Sasaki in front of everyone!"
Kuragami, Sasaki and Kiyoshi are on a train to an island. The island where the Shorai Skirmish will happen, Tinki Island. A bunch of other Shorai participating are on the same train as them.
The Shorai Skirmish will be broadcasted in Danketsu City only. All the Kashikoi and Kizoku will be watching aswell. The Shorai Skirmish can be seen by nobles and royalty outside Danketsu City.
Nobles and Royalty watch the Shorai Skirmish to scout disciples that are good enough to work for them.
"We're here. Wake up Kuragami."
Kuragami was sleeping throughout the whole journey. Everyone exits the Bullet Train.
"That journey was so long."
Kuragami stretches his arms.
They all exit the train and into the giant building in front.
As Kiyoshi, Kuragami and Sasaki walk in, all the Shorai stare at them. All of them start whispering to one another.
"If we beat them, then that'll be 50 points for our team."
"It's only 5 people. There's hundreds of us."
"I guarantee not one Prodigy Disciple will be standing after this."
"Look at them walking with a Kizoku thinking they're all that."
Sasaki starts smiling while Kuragami keeps a straight face.
"You two follow me. You Prodigy Disciples have one more meeting before the Shorai Skirmish."
They both follow Kiyoshi while everyone states at them.
Kiyoshi leads them into a room with Genji and the other three Prodigy Disciples. Daku, Isamu and Hoshiko are all sat down wearing black capes. Kuragami wonders why they're wearing black capes.
"What's with the capes?"
"It's capes to seperate the Prodigy Disciples from everyone."
"Cool."
Kuragami and Sasaki take their capes and wears them. They both sit with the other three. Kiyoshi stands next to Genji in front of them.
"As you know already, today is the day where the Shorai Skirmish happens. I'll explain exactly what's gonna happen and the rules. Another Kashikoi is explaining to everyone else the same thing."
One of the Kashikoi's assistants walks in with a box. He opens it and walks over to the Prodigy Disciples.
"Take one each."
They all take one of what's inside the box. They are all confused to what this is.
"A bracelet?"
"It's not just any bracelet. All of you wear it."
They all put on the bracelet. The bracelet has a little glass sphere on top of it. The sphere glows up for all of them. A bit of their aura is visible in the sphere.
Kuragami's is blue. Sasaki's is yellow. Isamu's is a blue lighter than Kuragami's. Hoshiko's is a yellow lighter than Sasaki's. Daku's is black.
"You guys will be fighting in the Shorai Skirmish until the glass sphere breaks. It's a special glass that can't be cracked by other peoples attacks."
Kuragami looks at the bracelet. He flicks the glass sphere.
"It really is indestructible."
"Once it breaks, the bracelet will teleport you to a room where you will have medical aid and watch the rest of the Shorai Skirmish."
"So once this breaks we're done?"
"Yes Isamu. Also, if you defeat a person and cause their glass sphere to break, their aura will go inside your sphere just to make it more clear that it was you who defeated them."
All of the Prodigy Disciples smile apart from Kuragami. Kuragami is staring at the floor lightly shaking.
"You good Kuragami?"
"The blue haired idiot finally realised that he's not strong enough for this. Don't worry, if I was you I would be scared too."
"Who says I'm scared Daku?"
Everyone in the room is confused. Kuragami stands up and screams. He starts laughing.
"I can't wait! This is gonna be so awesome."
Kuragami let's off a big smile. Genji smiles.
"That's the spirit. Now remember. Everyone else is worth one point. Prodigy Disciples are worth 50. Make sure you try hard so that your team becomes on top."
"Yes sir."
Genji leaves the room. Kiyoshi starts to speak to them now.
"All eyes are on you guys now since defeating you will give a team 50 points."
"So everyone will be after just us 5 right."
"Not really Hoshiko. You can get a lot of points from defeating a lot of people. Smart people will stay away from you guys. There's a reason why you're worth 50 points."
The Kashikoi assistant looks at the clock.
"Kiyoshi. It's time."
"Okay. You guys need to find your teammates. Silver will tell everyone what to do."
"Yes sir!"
They all leave and try to find their team. Daku and Hoshiko go the same way. Kuragami and Sasaki go the same way.
Homura and Cherry are sitting on the side of everyone.
"There's hundreds of people here Cherry. This is kinda exciting."
"They all seem weak. Well not all, most of them."
" Homura! Cherry!"
Both of them look to the left. They see Kuragami and Sasaki running to them. All their faces enlightens.
Kuragami jumps at both Homura and Cherry for a big hug.
"It's been a long time guys! I can already sense that you guys are stronger than the last time we saw each other."
Cherry looks at Sasaki. He has a straight face.
"Oh look at Sasaki trying to be cool. Come here."
Cherry drags Sasaki with them.
"Hey!"
He forms a light smile. They all force Sasaki to be in the group hug. They are all enjoying their reunion.
"Hey boys. We don't have a team name."
"Oh yeah we don't. What should our team name be?"
Kuragami steps up.
"Our team name is."
Cherry and Homura's faces lighten up again.
"Team Kuragami!"
All their faces are straight. Some people around them heard that and started laughing.
"Amazing team name Kura."
"So great."
"…"
"You think of one then Sasaki!"
"Why me? Ah forget it. Who the hell has team names."
"Team Kuragami it is then."
"They all face palm."
"By the way, what's with the black capes."
Kuragami smiles.
"Ah nothing. It's just because we're Prodigy Disciples. Nothing special."
Cherry sighs.
"I shouldn't have asked."
"Excuse me Shorai. The bracelet will transport you guys to the twin island Shinki in 5 seconds."
"Wait what?"
Everyone starts panicking and 5 seconds later, they all disappear.
They're all on a island. Everyone is together with their teammates. Apart from the Prodigy Disciples. They're together away from their teammates.
There's speakers around the island for announcements. There's hidden cameras for people to watch the Shorai Skirmish.
The island is empty. It's just grass and trees. There's some mini mountains on the island as well.
The speakers turn on.
"3!"
Everyone starts to get ready. The ones with weapons wield them. Sasaki takes his sword out the holder.
"2!"
Everyone raises their aura.
"1!"
"Now is the time. The time I can prove myself to everyone. Ena, Keikena. Your training won't be for nothing. Watch me!"
"Let the Shorai Skirmish begin!
Everyone charges at each other screaming. Everyone is throwing punches, techniques are being executed all around causing explosions everywhere.
Kuragami crouches down to the floor. One hand on the floor.
"Frozen Titanic!"
