At 10am in the morning, son was at kojins grave while praying, his palms were joined together as he was squatting. He finishes his prayer and stands up "Its been a few months since you died, two months too be exact. I've been training non stop in order to become stronger like you wanted me too, I hope your soul rests in peace."Son says this to himself while infront of his late father's grave. As he was walking away from the cemetery, he see's veronica approaching him with keita, jura, lisa and serio "Huh? Veronica, what's she doing here?", he asks himself in confusion. Veronica approaches son "How are you doing kid? I see you just finished visiting kojin's grave.", son replied "Yeah I did. By the way, who are these guys?" Veronica replied "Oh these four? They are new recruits of soliders for the city. Although i brought them here with me for a reason.", son had a bad feeling about this and had a rather suspicious and dull expression on his face "I don't like were this is going.", he monologues to himself. Son asks "Okay... so why did you bring them here, to me exactly?", Veronica replied "I wanted to see for myself how strong these guys are, especially this guy here with the dark hair*Referring to keita* I want to show him how strong the soliders of the city are, he claims that he is stronger than most of you.", keita replied while feeling abit insulted "Hey, don't put words into my mouth! You said that you wanted me to fight one of your toughest soliders because I told you not to underestimate me.", veronica replied with a wierd smile while fanning her face "Right, right", son was just lost in thought with a dull look in his eyes, he says to himself "I knew it. She just wants to see a fight." Later that day, son and keita are in a training ground which was a wasteland, lisa, jura and serio were watching from the background with veronica acting as a referee between son and keita. Keita and son are staring at each other with keita's hands in his pocket and son just pocketing as well, veronica asks "Are you both ready?", son says "Sure let's do this.", while keita who seemed rather disinterested replied with a nonchalant voice "Suuure let's just get on with this." Veronica just smirks and yells "Begin!", a huge amount of flames bursts out of son's body with his hair turned into flames as well, keita wasn't fazed in the slightest as he takes deep breath before a powerful burst of energy blasts out of his body. Keita's enormous bursts of energy was white and blue in colour, son seeing this is having an inner dialogue "His energy is massive, I'd say its as massive as that of alex. This guy at the very least is high C-rank level.", veronica then yells "Alright now, you can start throwing hands any moment from now." Son and keita rush towards each other at an incredible level of speed, they clashed their fists together with its impact breaking the ground and destroying the hills around them. Son and keita start to fly around the place while blasting and blowing each other around so fast that it was just red flames and white energy that the rest were able to see. In the process of this fight, son began to create spears of flames and was blasting them at keita at rapid fire without stopping, keita while flying was able to dodge them skillfully at the same time being able to kick a few of them away. These spears were causing explosions all over the training area, keita speed blitz son by flying towards him and draging him accross the ground before tossing him to the ground. Son gets up on his feet and see's keita flying down towards him, son charges a large amount of flames to his feet which was melting the ground and then blasts himself towards keita. Keita charges energy into his fist and then son does the same with his flames, they clash fists together which caused a shock wave of both heat and energy, keita monologued to himself "His flames are reaching temperatures of over 9000 degrees, and he has precise control of them. That's something impressive. And his speed as well is something else", he and son start to fly all over the sky while throwing blows and kicks at each other, they were showcasing great combat skill in the process, son proceeds to kick keita accross countless hills. Keita while sent flying see's son flying towards him with another flame attack, but this one seemed to be more powerful "10,000 degrees: Flash fire!", son calls the name of the attack before blasting a huge wave of flames at keita. Keita quickly maintains his balance by landing on his two feet, he gathers more energy into his fist and sends it flying like a beam towards son's attack, their attacks were struggling to overtake each other for a little while before keita's attack cuts through son's intense wave of flames. Son is surprised as he is hit by keita's attack and sent flying backwards, keita speed blitz him by appearing behind son while he was sent flying by the energy attack he launched at him. Son Is pushed close enough to keita due to the attack, keita then proceeds to kick son into the air, appear above him and proceeds to punch him back to the ground. Keita comes flying down to deal the finishing blow on him, but the smoke clears and son was preparing a ball of flames on his palms, he yells out "11,000 degree's: Burning bomb!". "11,000 degree's?!", keita exclaims in complete shock, son fire's of this attack at keita. The ball of flames was heading so fast towards keita to the point the it seemed like a red beam of light, keita wasn't able to react on time as the attack hits him and causes an explosion in the sky. The explosion In the sky clears out and keita was able to block the attack without any injuries, keita asks "Is that all?", son had a smirk on his face and tells him "Is it? Do you really think I was only going to throw just one attack?" Keita looks up and see's dozen of drills made from flames falling towards him, this causes a massive explosion in the sky. Lisa seeing this then asks "Wow, do you guys think keita would be fine after this?", jura replied "Ehn. He's probably fine." Son then says "That was my hell's drill, 13,000 degree's. I hope you're okay there, didn't mean to use that much heat." Keita appeared behind him with no injuries whatsoever "Nah I'm good, that attack couldn't even leave a scratch, talkless of a burn mark."
