••• Meanwhile inside the hospital •••

Mizūmi: ••• Flashback •••

Moyasu: Ash Dragon Scortch Dragon!!!!!!!

~~~ Moyasu then casted spell and a tremendous fire blast was heading towards Ryūsei ~~~

••• Suddenly Moyasu then sees an image of a young boy •••

Ryūsei & the young boy: I said let me through!!!!

••• End of Flashback •••

Mizūmi: Ryūsei...

Ryūsei: W.....h....

••• Ryūsei then slowly wakes up •••

Ryūsei: Where.....am.....I?????

Mizūmi: Ryūsei!!!!!!!

Ryūsei: Mizūmi???....It's that you???...

Mizūmi: Yes it's me.

Ryūsei: I'm glad you're safe.....

Mizūmi: It was all thanks to you

Ryūsei: Where's Mr. Nendo??

Mizūmi: He was summoned by an Imperial Knight, Right now they're talking about something outside.

Ryūsei: That's good to know that he's okay...

••• As Ryūsei slowly gets up his body started to feel pain, Due to the fact that his body is still injured from the fight •••

Mizūmi: Woah!!! Be careful Ryūsei!!!! your injuries haven't fully recovered.

Ryūsei: That's the last time I'm gonna ignore Mana Recovery.....

Mizūmi: Ignore Mana Recovery????

Ryūsei: Well, This past few months, I've taken quest after quest without letting my Mana recover-

Mizūmi: How much mana do you even have???!!!!

Ryūsei: To tell you the truth I don't even know as well.

••• The door then opens and Nendo walks inside •••

Nendo: Hello sweetie, I'm sorry it took so long.

Ryūsei: Hello Mr. Nendo

Nendo: Ryūsei, I'm glad you're awake.

Ryūsei: I'm sorry for making you all worry...

Nendo: It's alright, Actually I'd like to thank you for saving my daughter....

If you hadn't came along, I'd never get to see my daughter again.

Mizūmi: Dad, If it's alright for me to ask, But what's the reason you were called by the Imperial Knights???

Nendo: A Grand Shōtotsu will take place 2 weeks from now at the Kingdom of Ryūgū.

Mizūmi: A Grand Shōtotsu??!!! Seriously??!!! Why though???

Mizūmi: The 4th Grand Elementalist,

Why though??? I mean why are they in a rush???

Nendo: The reason might be because of the Rise of Demons.

Ryūsei: Rise of Demons???

Nendo: The Demon Clan are slowly starting to emerge after centuries of hiding.

Mizūmi: Why though??? I mean, Why would they host a Grand Shōtotsu if they're just searching for the 4th Grand Elementalist.

Nendo: The 4th Grand Elementalist might participate in the tournament.

Mizūmi: Speaking of participating,

Are you going to participate in the Grand Shōtotsu Ryūsei????

Ryūsei: I haven't thought about it, I mean the Grand Shōtotsu is a Chīma vs Chīma showdown.

Mizūmi: Don't tell you're a.....

Ryūsei: I'm a special case, So I don't have a Chīma.

Mizūmi: But you're already this powerful.

Ryūsei: I guess I might participate.

Nendo: Well then, I wish you the best of luck Ryūsei. The Registration for the Grand Shōtotsu shall take place a week from now at the Chīma Center.

Ryūsei: Thank you Mr. Nendo.... for everything.

Nendo: Oh, I almost forgot!!!!

••• He then approaches his bag near the table and he then gets something from the bag •••

Nendo: As a token of my appreciation,

••• He then gives Ryūsei a badge •••

Ryūsei: Wait isn't this the-

Nendo: It's the Storm Stone that you dropped a couple of days ago before you saved my daughter.

I had a blacksmith customize and craft a badge using the Storm Stone as a material.

Ryūsei: Nendo, Thank you.

Mizūmi: Hey Ryūsei, How about we train before the Grand Shōtotsu starts.

Ryūsei: Sure-

Nendo: Hold it right there you two,

Ryūsei isn't fully recovered if he goes back to fighting in the state he is in, It will only get worse.

••• A few days have passed since then and Ryūsei has been fully recovered from his injuries •••

••• Ryūsei then spends his remaining time by training non-stop with Mizūmi and Nendo •••

••• A few days have passed and Ryūsei then leaves the Village Of Sapeda in order to register at the Chīma Center •••

••• At the Kingdom of Ryūgū •••

Ryūsei: I'm finally home

???: Ryūsei!!!!!!

Ryūsei: Kayosha!!!!! Yuki!!!!!

Kayosha: Where were you, You've been missing for weeks??!!!

Ryūsei: I just took a quest-

Kayosha: What rank was it

••• Kayosha then glares at Ryūsei •••

Ryūsei: It was..... Rank...A....

Kayosha: Jeez, It's a little too dangerous for you to be taking a Rank-A quest all by yourself.

Yuki: If he's all okay, I guess he can take as much as he would like.

Ryūsei: Speaking of which, Yuki are you gonna participate in the Grand Shōtotsu???

Yuki: Yeah, Me and Kayosha have been training for the past few weeks for it.

Kayosha: Yuki, Let's go and register right now.

Yuki: You'll find your Chīma someday.

Kayosha: Yeah, While you two haven't net yet, You got all those enemies all to yourself.

Yuki: Cheer up, How about after we get registered for the Grand Shōtotsu let's go to that Icecream shop that Kasai was talking about, My treat.

Kasai: Looks like the gang's all here.

Shadow: So you guys came to participate as well.

Yuki: We wouldn't miss it for the world.

Shizen: You better not go easy on her,

I plan to win this.

Shadow: Don't worry, I'm going to go all out on her.

Yuki: Why is it always me....

Shizen: The last Shōtotsu we had, You literally froze the entire stadium.

Yuki: It was an accident.....

Shizen: You literally tried to shot Shadow with the spell "Ice Dragon Blizzard Blast" one of your most powerful spell.

Shadow: Yeah, I could've died that time.

If I didn't have my ability "Shadow Cloak with me, I might've died back then.

••• Yukino then arrives with the application forms •••

••• After a while of filling out the application forms, All of them are finally done and are now registered •••

Kasai: Let's go to a restaurant, I'm hungry.

Yuki: I guess, I did promise Ryūsei and Kayosha that we'd buy ice cream after the registration.

Shizen: It's been a while since we eat all together, Let's go.

••• Ryūsei, Kasai, Sora, Yuki, Shizen, Shadow and Kayosha headed out end went to a nearby restaurant •••

••• They ordered there food and after a while the food was served and they began to eat •••

••• After a while of eating •••

Kasai: Hey, Ryūsei it's been a while since I last saw you fight.... Have you manage to find your Chīma???

Shadow: Is someone a little concern to his opponents??!!!

Kasai: Well he is my best friend, I know he's strong but..... He's entering a Grand Shōtotsu all by himself-....

Ryūsei: Don't worry I'll be fine on my own.

Shizen: Well he made progress since the last time we saw him.

Shadow: Yeah, Who would've thought he'd actually beat Moyasu.

Kayosha: Is Moyasu really that strong??

Yuki: He's actually an Imperial Knight who was chosen by Grandpa Arashi

to be one of his personal body guard.

Also he is a S-Rank Elementalist and a Dragon Sage.

Kasai: Ryūsei, After we eat.... let's have a spar.

Ryūsei: Why???

Kasai:I just want to know how strong you've become.
