*Rika begins to hand out a few sheets to each one*
Shu: What is this?
Alexbold: In these, are the indications of your next individual training, until you complete what is in these, you will not be able to receive the special training with the three of us
Lowa: A million push-ups? Is it serious?
Alexbold: Lowa, right?
Lowa: Yes
Alexbold: It's true that you have enviable strength, for someone of your rank it's very good. However, this is not going to be enough against opponents out of the ordinary, such as Yohei
Lowa: Okay, I will
Yohei: Can I ask something?
Alexbold: yes, go ahead
Yohei: Why is my sheet empty? What does it mean?
Alexbold: It means that you don't have to improve anything from the basics, you are eligible to receive special training from now on
Sebastian: Really? Is there so much difference between him and us?
Alexbold: Yes
Sebastian: Damn it
*Eden is shown looking at his leaf*
Eden: *Think* Zenka energy control? Come to think of it, I've never been able to use a technique without having to use my sword, but wouldn't that mean that my specialty is weapon techniques? Although the idiot that pink hair always carries a sword with him, but so far I haven't seen him use a technique, not even a basic one
Alexbold: You can start training now, but be careful about cheating, I know perfectly well what you are doing thanks to my blood control, so if you cheat, I will punish you
*Alexbold with his teammates and Yohei go somewhere else*
Alexbold: In Atlantis, you were reportedly able to improve your energy control with Atlas, right?
Yohei: Yes, he taught me how to use fast and powerful attacks
Alexbold: I can...
*A beam of energy goes straight to Alexbold's chest*
Alexbold: *Think* What speed
*Alexbold deflects it with one finger*
*The lightning strikes the sand and regenerates a gigantic explosion*
Alexbold: *smiles* How funny
Yohei: I'm surprised you had the time to deflect it
Alexbold: It's really like they say it, you're a genius in every way. However, you're missing something
Yohei: What are you talking about?
Alexbold: It's also reported that you were defeated in hand-to-hand combat against a bronze rank, right?
Yohei: I don't...
*Yohei clenches his fist in frustration*
Yohei: yes, I lost completely
*Alexbold is surprised by Yohei's response*
Alexbold: Thank you for your answer, I'm glad to hear that you're different. Iseli, take care of her training
Iseli: Okay
Yohei: I'm not going to hold back
Iseli: You'd better do it, because if you do I won't forgive you
*Yohei goes on the attack, but after a second he sees everything with a header*
Yohei: What?
*Shown upside down on the ground*
Iseli: That was a very bad idea, it's true that you're stronger physically. However, I'm faster
*Iseli holds out her hand to Yohei and he accepts*
Iseli: It will be a hard road, but I promise to become an expert in martial arts
Yohei: It will be a pleasure
Rukia: Aren't you jealous?
Alexbold: Me? Why would I be jealous of a female partner?
Rukia: How boring you are...
Alexbold: What? Have I done something wrong?
Rukia: You're really very short...
*Everyone is shown doing their individual workouts*
*Alexbold walks along the shoreline of the beach*
Alexbold: *Think* I can't let the same thing happen this time as that day, no way. I know that there will be very difficult challenges that they will face, but I am confident that they will, all of them have the potential to be very strong, we just have to take them on the right track
*Alexbold notices an aura of energy near some rocks*
Alexbold: What is that?
*Eden is shown surrounded by an aura of violet energy*
Alexbold: *Think* What are you doing here at this hour? No, what I really ask myself is how he is able to have that amount of energy?
Eden: What is he doing here?
Alexbold: I'm sorry, shall I interrupt something?
Eden: No, it's okay
*The aura of Eden disappears*
Eden: Can I ask you something?
Alexbold: Yes, what's wrong?
Eden: What was your reason for fighting in the tournament?
Alexbold: Why do you want to know that?
Eden: Because I don't really have any
Alexbold: Really?
Eden: Yes... I feel that if I continue here I would only be taking away someone's opportunity. It's true that the first time I did it without thinking about anyone because I didn't know them and also no one wanted to go. But, now it's different, seeing everyone trying hard and the time we've shared so far.... I feel like it's very selfish of me
Alexbold: My motive was to be recognized by my family
Eden: Huh?
Alexbold: I don't usually talk about this much, but since you've been honest, I will be too
*Flashback*
Aphrodite: This year will be ours, I have no doubt
Ares: Yes, after all we have that boy from the Moonveil family, it's the first time we have someone from a lineage of the twelve families
Aphrodite: Yes, I'm excited to see its power
Shun: Stop creating so many expectations about the boy
Ares: Don't you get tired of being a killjoy?
Shun: Shut up, I'm just realistic about GODS' opportunities in the tournament
Aphrodite: You don't even know the boy, if he's from the twelve families he's probably very strong
Shun: Yes, it may be, but I'm not talking about that, the boy is only 16 years old, don't create expectations in him, he may have a gigantic talent, but if he doesn't know how to control his power, it will be nothing
Ares: *Sigh* You may be right, why don't you train it then?
Shun: I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in having any relationship with anyone from those 12 families, they disgust me
*Aphrodite covers Shun's mouth*
Aphrodite: What do you think you do?
Shun: *With a serious look* Take your hand away
*Aphrodite recoils at Shun's words*
Ares: Don't be an idiot, if someone finds out about your words, they'll kill you
Shun: How boring they are. Those old men could never do anything to me, the only one who could do anything to me would be the king
Ares: At least go give him some advice, I'm sure it will help him
Shun: *sighs* It's okay, though I doubt it'll do any good, since I know people like him so well
Ares: *Think* Idiot, you're one of them
*A kunai goes towards Alexbold's face*
*Alexbold deflects the kunai and looks from the direction thrown at him*
Shun: Where do you think you're looking?
*Shun hits Alexbold very hard and sends him flying*
*Alexbold spits out a lot of blood*
Alexbold: What do you think you do fucking idiot?! Do you know who I am?!
Shun: Yes, I know perfectly well who you are Alexbold Moonveil, the weakest member of the Moonveil family in the lineage, the one who has been marginalized by the head of the family and the king of the kingdom of Rum.
Alexbold: You damn bastard!
*Alexbold throws several of his blood tentacles at Shun, but Shun destroys them in an instant*
Shun: You're really weak
Alexbold: Stop saying that! I'll show you how strong I am!
*Alexbold begins to expel a gigantic energy, but in an instant Shun hits him and leaves him without strength*
Alexbold: How is that possible? I'm a Moonveil
Shun: Moonveil over here, Moonveil over there, I'm tired of those old people
Alexbold: *Think* Wait a minute, pink hair, golden eyes, a sword that looks like it was made by the angels themselves, this is...
Shun: People like you who have never made an effort, thinking that their talent is enough, make me sick, they talk as if they have done something important, when all they have done is live off a family name
Alexbold: You don't know what carrying this last name means, so shut your mouth
Shun: yes, you're right, what do you want me to do? That he feels sorry for you? I was really right not to expect anything from you. Although as I am a pious being I will be waiting for you after the battle against Wataraha
Alexbold: What does that mean? Will you give me money or prestige to go see you?
Shun: No, I'll give you a chance to change your own future, isn't that interesting?
*Shun smiles*
