"Debiddo has won the match, however, it looks like he ran out of energy!" DJ says still in shock about what conspired. "Anyways, don't worry audience, he will recover in no time, and will be ready for his next match!" The recovery team gets Debiddo and puts him, and Bolt, on a stretcher where they are both then carried to the recovery room, while Himawari and Oshiro look onward with worry. Dj then clenches his fist in excitement and says, "This was an epic first match, how will anyone top that!" As the tournament moves along the soul world's top fighters show their best moves in each match. In the recovery room, Debiddo finally wakes up and starts to look around. "Where am I?" Debiddo says rubbing his head. "Is this a hospital room?" "Yeah," says an unknown voice that speaks behind a curtain that separates the two. The curtain is then moved to show that the unknown voice is actually Bolt Raijin wrapped in bandages. "You apparently passed out from using too much of your spiritual energy against me." "Bolt?" Debiddo says sitting up to his bed. 

"Why did I have to share a room with you," Debiddo says disgustedly. "It's not like this was my first choice either Hanshi!" Bolt yells angrily. "Back to the Hanshi thing?" Debiddo says annoyed. "My name isn't Hanshi, It's Debiddo, Debiddo Mobu..." "I acknowledge your strength," Bolt says to Debiddo. "Wait, what?" Debiddo replies. "You beat me at my strongest. You did not give up once and kept fighting with the intent to win." Bolt then looks at the sky in remembrance. "I saw your eyes Debiddo, those eyes were of someone who lost everything, someone whose main goal is revenge. You came in fighting, knowing that you are outmatched, and still fought, risking your very life to reach your goal. You are a true warrior, and it was an honor to fight with you." "Awww, Bolt is expressing his feelings to me," Debiddo says sarcastically as he wipes away fake tears. "You are really making me want to cry!" 

"That's it, forget what I said!" Bolt says as he stands on his bed sparking electricity from his hands. "I'm going to kill you Hanshi!" Debiddo then lays back down and takes a deep breath. "Thank you," Debiddo says to Bolt, causing Bolt to withdraw his hands. "I learned a lot from that fight. I knew if I underestimate you, or anyone else in these exams, I would definitely lose early. So, I fought you with my full power, that way I would know, that all my training wasn't a waste." "Hmf, whose being sappy now huh?" Bolt says to Debiddo as he plops back down on his hospital bed and lays down with his hands behind his head. With this, both Debiddo and Bolt start laughing. "I will get my payback against you one day," Bolt says while still laughing. "Bring it in Bolt for brains" Debiddo retorts while still laughing. Both of their spiritual energies start to emit as the room starts to shake. Then all of a sudden, the door leading to the outside opens up.

 "See I told you he would be alright." The Older male voice says from behind the door. "Shut it Oshiro, he may hear you." The younger female voice replies. When the door opens completely it shows Oshiro, and Himawari holding some food and water. "Old man? Hima? What are you two doing here?" Debiddo says confused. "What do you think we are doing stuppido?" Himawari replies, "We are here to check on you." "Yeah, when you passed out from using so much spiritual energy Himawari ran to your side screaming Debiddo nooo Debiddo," Oshiro says mocking Himawari. Himawari then punches Oshiro in the side causing him to fall down. "Anyways Debiddo," Himawari says as she recovers from her embarrassment. "Are you ready for the second round? They are about to start soon." "Really?" Debiddo says shocked. "I missed everyone's matches?" "Ummm yeah, Debiddo," Himawari explains. "This is the final match of the first round." "Oh, who are the last fighters?" Debiddo asks. "Oh, um a guy by the name of Poketo and Rapheal Musubi, so it's going to be a pretty quick fight honestly," Himawari says as she shrugs her shoulders. "Wait what do you mean?" Debiddo asks. "

Debiddo, let me tell you about the Musubi clan." Himawari says to Debiddo. "The Musubi clan is one of the chosen clans and hold Genkiru's Element of Fire. Just like my clan is the holder of Element of wind and Bolt's clan is the holder of lightning. We are clans chosen by Lord Ichiroun to hold Genkiru's elements making us the strongest in our respective elements. Poketo is a duel Genki user, which means one of his parents from one of the Musubi clans married a member from the Bujin clan, giving him the abilities of both." "I understand that much," Debiddo says as he eats a bean-paste bun from the assortment of foods that Oshiro and Himawari had for him to eat. "But why though, his Genki is strong!" "Because having two elemental genkis means the spiritual output you give out is split in half." Bolt says as he looks away from the food drooling. "His water abilities are what could help him since water moves are strong against fire, however, since his spirit energy is split between the two, he won't be able to put out as much energy into his water Genki compared to someone with only a water Genki." Bolt's stomach then starts growling causing him to blush and look away in embarrassment.

 Debiddo then looks at Bolt and hands him a Bean-paste bun which Bolt immediately looks at and snatches the bun away from Debiddo and devoirs it quickly. "So what you are saying is that someone like Poketo won't be able to win based on what he received from birth? Bull Crap!" Debiddo says as he gets up out of his bed. "I believe in Po, he worked his butt off to get where he is now, I guarantee you guys that he will win!" With that Himawari and Oshiro shrug their shoulders and Bolt and Debiddo joined them outside to the stands to watch the match. "Alright, everyone!" Dj says as he stretches his body. "The first round is almost over, all we have now is one more match! Raphael Musubi, and Poketo Suburashii, take your places!" Both Raphael and Poketo take their places on opposite sides of the ring. Dj then raised his hand which causes both fighters to get in fighting stances. Poketo looks at Raphael with much anxiousness as he activates his bansuri release. "Go!" Dj says as he brings his hands down. Poketo uses his Genki to create steam to cover the stage. "Oh, I see!" Debiddo says "He is going to use his steam Genki to create a form of smokescreen!" "That is some interesting strategy he got," Oshiro says rubbing his beard. Himawari and Bolt just continued to look at the fight in silence. Poketo then uses his water Genki to shoot blasts of water at Raphael which evaporates off his body. Everyone in the stadium murmurs about not being able to see because of the steam. 

"My," Raphael says looking around at the steam. "Impressive, but is that all you can do?" Poketo then appears above Raphael to deliver a heel kick. Raphael's fire Genki then starts blazing over his body, which causes Poketo to be taken aback because of the tremendous heat. "The fire is so strong!" Poketo says as the fire singed his foot. He falls back into the edge of the ring holding his right foot that got burned by the fire. He then uses water from his Genki to cool down the burn on his foot. "I got to find a way to get past that fire barrier" Poketo then starts scanning the area for ways to gain an upper hand In the fight. "Alright," Raphael says cracking his fingers and his neck. "If you are done, I guess I will start." Raphael starts charging up, causing the fire to increase dispersing the steam in the air. "He just got rid of the steam just like that!" Debiddo says to Oshiro. "That goes to show that the Musubi clan is truly a powerful clan," Oshiro responds back. When the dust settles, Raphael is then faced with five clones of Poketo. "Wow, shadow clone Jutsu!" Debiddo says excited "You go Po!!" "Hmm. So, it looks like you playing tricks now." Raphael says chuckling. "Poketo then opens in hands and points it at Raphael. "Take this," Poketo says as his spiritual aura turns from a light grey to a dark blue. "Bujin Art: Five cross water wave!" Water then begins to spray out of Poketo's hands heading directly to Raphael. "That's a good strategy," Himawari says "He is using this steam technique to make clones of himself so that way he can amplify the amount of water he produces, thus compensating for being only half Bujin." "You can do this Po, I know you can!" Debiddo says to himself. The water attempts to hit Raphael just for it to evaporate off his body. "The amount of water Poketo proves to be no match for the intense flames that Raphael is giving off!" Dj says as he grips his speaker orb. "Heh, just watch!" Poketo says with a smirk. Suddenly clouds start to form overhead and the rumbling of thunder shakes the who stadium. Everyone looks up in confusion at the cloud that is now starting to produce rain. "Wait, how is he making a thundercloud?" Debiddo asks. "I thought his Genki is fire and water?" "It's probably because of you guy's fight" Himawari responds. "You guys fought so hard that electricity is still running around freely in the atmosphere. It's no surprise that the sky is making thunder clouds." 

"It's not a bad strategy," Oshiro says, "If it's raining then that means Raphael's firepower is weakened and Poketo's power will be stronger." The rain then pours down harder causing Raphael to stumble. Raphael then laughs with a smile on his face looking at Poketo with his hands stretched out. "Great!" Raphael says pointing to Poketo, "This is the challenge I've been looking for. Something to test my limits!" Raphael then charges up his spiritual energy causing the fires around him to burn brightly. The heat is so intense that everyone in the stands could feel it despite having the barrier protecting them. The heat then blasts through the clouds causing the sky to clear up instantly. Everyone looks in disbelief at what they just saw. "In-incredible..." Dj says with a shocked look on his face. "Raphael used his flame to evaporate all the clouds in the sky." "What a monster!" Debiddo says in disbelief. Himawari and Bolt both look in awe at the amount of power Raphael holds. Poketo looks shocked, but he does not falter. He continues to fire water blasts at Raphael, which makes him more and more excited. "Yes! More! blast away more!" Raphael then started running towards Poketo catching him off guard, "Crap he's is fast!" Poketo says trying to blast him away with strong steam. Raphael fights through the steam and grabs Poketo by the throat. Clenching his throat tightly, Raphael turns up his flames and says to Poketo. "You did well, but the difference between us is like night and day... Goodbye." With that statement, Raphael ignites Poketo in a ball of flames causing Poketo to scream painfully. Everyone looks in horror as Poketo burns alive. 

Raphael then stops just as Poketo hands dropped down to his side after trying his hardest to loosen the grip of Raphael to no avail. Raphael then drops Poketo's unconscious body to the ground and takes a knee beside him. "You see Poketo," Raphael says as he gets closer to Poketo's ear. "You had no chance of beating me from the beginning. You and I are nowhere near equal. It was inevitable that you would fall to me. However, I give you props for making me sweat a little." Raphael then stands up and brushes off his attire, looking at Debiddo who is located in the stands. "Now, I hope I get to fight you next Debiddo. Hopefully, you can give me the fight I'm looking for. "Don't count...Me out," Poketo says slowly stumbling to his feet. "I'm..not...done." Raphael then looks at him with pity and says "You are still alive huh. See if you can handle this." Raphael then ignited Poketo again, causing Poketo to fall again. This did not halt Poketo however, He just continues to stand up and get closer to Raphael. This makes a few people in the crowd to start crying. Debiddo, horrified, screams out to Poketo, "Poketooooo, anymore of this and you will die!" This comment made me remember the conversation he had with Poketo in which Poketo tells Debiddo, "I regret even participating this year. I really thought I could change what people thought of me. That I wasn't an abomination. That I belonged." This makes Debiddo rethink his comment. "He knows, he knows he may die. He doesn't care. He is showing everyone not just his resolve, but also that he belongs as a chaser!"

 Each ignition by Raphael is responded to with Poketo standing up and walking towards Raphael. "Why...Wont..you stay down?" Raphael says as he continuously ignites Poketo. Poketo walks methodically to Raphael causing Ralpheal to get confused and anxious. Poketo then cocked back his fist and punched Rapheal hard in the face. The impact wasn't strong enough to knock Raphael down, however, it was hard enough to cause a bruise to appear on his face. Raphael looks back at Poketo and is in shock. Poketo stands in front of Raphael motionless, his eyes glazed over, Poketo passed out from the intense pain of the flames. Everyone is in shock, including Raphael who smiles and says to Poketo. "You knew you weren't going to win this whole time, and you kept fighting, despite all that, just so that you can land a hit on me? HaHaHaHa, I understand now Poketo, I acknowledge your strength. You are truly a strong warrior!" Everyone cheers as Dj announce the results. "And that's ittttt an impressive show of grit and determination from Poketo, but in the end, it is Raphael that takes the win!" Raphael picks up Poketo and carries him out of the stage, as the crowd cheers loudly. "Dang Poketo," Debiddo says "You sure as hell showed your guts in this fight. I truly believe that you showed everyone that you belonged.
