"Oh man... Why us of all people?", Chiharu groaned.

Benjamin glanced at him, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips. "Well, Chiharu, it seems destiny has a funny way of picking people."

Chiharu rolled his eyes, not amused by Benjamin's attempt at humor. "I can't believe we got dragged into this mess."

"We're here to enjoy ourselves, soak up the excitement, and make some unforgettable memories. So, let's step onto that stage with a big grin on our faces and let loose."

"I wouldn't be so at ease if I were you," a voice emerged from the depths of the shadows.

Startled, the boys leaped, their hearts skipping a beat. "Captain Yamamoto! How long have you been lurking there?" Nozel exclaimed, his surprise evident in his voice.

The seasoned captain let out a weary sigh, his gaze piercing through them. "I have been present long enough to witness your futile banter," he stated, his tone tinged with a hint of exasperation. "Rather than engaging in meaningless discourse, your focus should be directed towards formulating a strategic plan and honing your combat techniques. Time is of the essence, and there is little room for frivolous discussions."

"Captain! Do you have any words of advice?", asked Chiharu.

The captain's gaze shifted towards Chiharu, a glimmer of amusement twinkling in his eyes as if a mischievous thought had crossed his mind. "Ah, my dear pretty boy," he chuckled, "you won't be fighting in this duel."

Perplexed by the captain's cryptic response, Benjiro voiced his confusion, seeking clarity amidst the haze of uncertainty. "But isn't it a three versus three confrontation? Why exclude Chiharu from the fight?"

"I must confess, my knowledge of this arrangement was as surprising to me as it is to you," the captain responded with an air of intrigue. "Unbeknownst to us, it seems that another individual has presented a compelling case, petitioning for the very position that Chiharu currently occupies."

The revelation hung in the air, casting a veil of uncertainty over the trio. Their brows furrowed as they exchanged puzzled glances, their minds racing to comprehend the unforeseen turn of events. Who could possibly have vied for Chiharu's role in the upcoming battle? And what purpose did this clandestine contender serve? The captain's enigmatic words left them grasping at fragments of information, desperately seeking to unravel the mystery that had materialized before them.

Nozel's gaze sharpened, his eyes narrowing to slits as a glint of suspicion danced within them. "Could it be... Kwasaki?" he questioned, his voice laced with a mix of skepticism and curiosity.

The captain ignored Nozel's question and continued, "Never underestimate your opponent," Captain Yamamoto's voice resonated with an air of wisdom and authority. "For in their eyes lie hidden strengths and unpredictable tactics, waiting to be unleashed upon the battlefield. Treat every encounter as a test of your own abilities, a chance to push beyond your limits and rise above the challenges that lie before you. Only then shall you grasp the true essence of victory and earn the respect of both friend and foe alike. Now get out there and show them what you lads got!"

"ALRIGHT!!",The Duo yelled in unison as they marched of to the stands.
