It was 9:00PM at night, Yuji was at his house, he just finished locking up the entrance door to his house. After locking up the door that directly led to his living room, he took a sigh "Uhh! Looks like I've locked all the doors.", he turned back in attempt to go to his room "Good night, Grandpa.", he greeted Nagumo good night. Nagumo was sitted on the couch, his eyes opened up after Yuji had greeted him before he went to bed. Nagumo said to Yuji "Yuji, my grandson.", Yuji turned back to Nagumo "Yeah? What is it?", he asked. Nagumo asked "How was your assassination exams, the elimination round?", Yuji replied "It was fine, I guess. My fight was pretty hard, but I managed to keep up with my opponent before my blade's gave out.". Yuji started to scratch his head with an annoyed and tired look on his face "Actually, we both ran out of stamina and ended up pointing our blade's at each other. My daggers gave out at the end.". Nagumo took a sigh "I see, so you lost.", Yuji clicked his tounge "Tch, don't say it like that.", he turned and was ready to go through the passage that led to his room "Either way, good night old man.", Nagumo called out to him "Yuji!". Yuji sighed in a tired and lazy manner "What is it now?", Nagumo explained to him "Yuji, you have great potential. From the moment you were born, I knew you had it in you to become one of the greatest soliders the world will ever see.", Yuji replied in slight confusion "Uh, thanks..". Nagumo continued to explain to Yuji "Not just that, but you are going to give way for the next generation that would come through you. Those one's would have incredible potential and power, dont forget that. Don't end up like me who had nothing going well for him all through his life.", Yuji clicked his tounge one's again "What are you saying, old man?". Nagumo replied "One day, you'll realise how dark this world can be, you'll be a shining hope to the people you choose to inspire. I'm telling you that you are going to be great.", Yuji kept quiet for a moment before he sighed "Whatever, I've heard you. I suppose you're just encouraging me to do better.", he turned around and waved to his grandfather while entering the passage "I'll see you tomorrow Grandfather Nagumo. Sweet dream, alright?", Nagumo had a straight face before a small smile curled on his lips "You truly are my grand child. Yuji Takanoguro!", he muttered to himself. Meanwhile, Volt was training in the outside training of the soliders base, he was charging up a small but very powerful amount of lightning all over his palms, those bolts of lightning were up to 200,000,000 volt's. Volt thought to himself "Despite the fact I have the elemental power, I still can't make it burn past regular lightning, but that's for now. For me to be able to reach this amount of voltages without using too much power means I've gotten far better than usual. In no time, I'm going to be able to make my electricity burn up to at least (Twelve Billion Volts). I'll call the move (Twelve Billion Volts: Lightning Cataclysm!), or maybe (Zeus Lightning Cataclysm) would be a better name.". Volt sighed and just walked into the base "Whatever, I'll just have to train harder. I have a match tomorrow, I need some good night sleep for tommorow's event. I'LL BECOME THE ULTIMATE LIGHTNING BLADE! ONE THAT WOULD BURN AND TEAR ANYTHING THAT GET'S IN THE WAY!", his fists balled up "I swear it.". As for Regina, she was in her room reading a magazine, she was looking at all sorts of clothing's "Wow, these would really look good on me, I guess I'll buy them after my gladiator round tomorrow. That would be a good idea.". She put down her magazine "I wonder how Yuji is doing. Not just him, but I wonder how Volt's doing, he won his elimination round, so he's most likely preparing for his match tommorow. Knowing him, he's probably prepared his mind for the worst.", Regina smiled while looking at her pink ceiling "And that's why he's my friend. He works hard, he prepares for anything. He doesn't seem like much, but once he starts racking those screwed circuits he has for brains, he can pull off anything.". Regina turned to the other side of her bed "As for Yuji~, I'm pretty sure he's doing fine. I love him so much. Just like Volt, he's very determined, but he's more focused. I heard from Mio that he gave a good fight against Astera's partner, the only downside is that he lost.", Regina had a slightly saddened look on her face "Awn. I'll never get to see my love fight tomorrow. But on the bright side, I'll get to see Volt in action. I'll cheer him on and hope he does his best.". Regina stopped talking to herself and thought for a bit, she asked herself "Did Rem end up apologising to Volt? Whatever, it doesn't matter at all. My match is tommorow, I'll do the best I can to win!", Regina proceeded to prepare for sleep "O lord. As I sleep this night, protect me and prepare me for tomorrow's match. Amen", she proceeded to sleep off on her bed. At the other side of things, Rem was layed on her bed, she was playing video games on her phone "Tommorow's the day, huh? Oh well, I know I lost, but I'll still show up to cheer on my friends.". She thought about Volt "Volt.... I heard from Kito that he won his elimination round. That's good for him...", she balled herself on her bed "I haven't even apologized to him yet, about what I did the other time. I guess when I see him tomorrow, I'll apologize. I wonder how Roy is doing, I hope he won his round.". Roy, Fred and Monoma were in a restaurant, they were eating while having conversations with one another, Monoma didn't seem to be laughing, he had a straight face. Roy and Fred on the other hand were teasing and trying to play around with him. The next day had arrived, the stadium was filled with people, Kazuma along side Mio, Regina, Marallda, White, Volt, Tendra and some other set of competitors had come out into the open space to see the intense crowd cheering for them. Kazuma just smirked "Hm! Looks like we've entered the new phase of this arc!".
