Tournament continues

*At Mrs Lillian's house*

Selina was lying down on the white bed, sleeping while Mrs Lillian was sitting on the floor close to the wall as always with another lady by her side.

Jade's walks into the house.

"Is she okay?" Jade asked.

"Why ask such a stupid question?" Mrs Lillian replied.

"(Sighs) Is that your students?" Jade asked, pointing to the second lady.

"If you must know, yes." Mrs Lillian answered. "Do you think your actions are justifiable?"

"Hm? What do you mean?" Jade asked in confusion.

"Your parents hid the truth from you in order to keep each other's family together but you resented them for it and now you're doing just as much. " Mrs Lillian said and then turned to Jade. "Do you think your actions are justifiable?"

"I know my actions are going to affect Racle's destiny but I can't risk letting them know. It could bring enmity between our two family instead I think we can just create a new destiny for ourselves together." Jade answered in simplicity.

"Tell them."

"What!"Jade exclaimed in shock.

"Tell them, if you don't want it to be worst than that when they find out then tell them. Nothing is hidden under the sun." Mrs Lillian advice, continuing what she was doing.

"What difference does it make?" Jade asked, looking at Selina who was still asleep. "Anyways, i'll think about it."

When Selina woke up Jade took her home.

The incident was reported to the king who then order for twenty-four-seven guard all over the village.

*At Jade's room that same night*

While on the bed...."Sweetheart, you awake?" Jade asked.

"What's it? It seems like you're troubled." Rhen asked.

"I've been thinking, I feel like we should tell them."

"Tell who what?" Rhen asked turning to Jade.

"Tell Racle and Selina about the truth." Jade replied.

"What! Why?"

"Mrs Lillian said things could get worse if they had to find out themselves."

"How can they find out? Unless someone among us told them."

"(Sighs)I'm not sure I'd be able to face them if they did."

"Come on, just get to sleep they won't." Rhen said in a soft tone.

It's been two weeks now the three villages has been dealing with the so called skimals.

At the king's palace Billy was giving a report about the situation.

"Your majesty, Visgard aren't experiencing much of the skimals as we do now. Secondly, Mark has confirmed the guns to be completed at the middle of next week. The other villages due to lack of qualified scientist imported some mk-19 from Visgard. Joe's gonna work his ass to the bone(chuckles)"

"What's mk-19?" King Saz asked.

"The name of the ammunition they're using against the skimals, though it wasn't enough so they're suggesting we sell some to them when we're done."

"What else?"

"Rhen had ceased operation from the smithy." Billy said, shrugging slightly. "She told the workers to join Mark and his dad on making the ammunition."

"I guess she did well, anything about knight flin?"

"So far we still haven't been able to contact her." Billy replied.

"Alright."

At the open field Racle and Selina were sitting on a bench waiting for the others to arrive.

"Selina...." Racle called quietly.

"What is it?" Selina answered softly.

"I've been having weird dreams lately, it's like I'm going back to the past." Racle said.

"The past, how?" Selina asked.

"I don't know, I kinda see how dad lived his life and some other kings that once ruled our village. Think I should tell dad?" Racle asked.

"Dad's hiding something from us." Selina stated.

"What do you mean?" Racle asked, looking at Selina for response.

"I actually don't know what he's hiding but I feel it could be connected to your dreams." Selina replied.

"Whatever it is I believe he has his reason." Racle said as he stood up.

"Of course there's always a reason to hide things." Selina said, standing up too. "Why would he hide something that could affect your desti...."

"They're here." Racle said at the sighting of Pjay and Vedry, cutting off Selina's sentence.

"Hey, what about Yeln?" Racle asked, walking up to them.

"She's probably on her way. What of your dad?" Pjay asked.

"He's not here yet." Selina replied as they waited on the bench.

Few minutes later Yeln and Jade arrived, they did some warm ups and the training started.

"Alright gather round. We still have an unfinished tournament so let's get through with that." Jade said, turning to Yeln and Vedry. "Up next is Yeln vs Vedry."

The two walked forward to the center while the others went to one side. Yeln formed a shield on her left hand while holding a sword on her right hand while Vedry just brought out his remote and four drones.

"Ready! Fight!" Jade shouted and the fight begun.

The drones surrounded Yeln and immediately, they were simultaneously shooting out explosive bullets at her.

Yeln knelt down on one knees and shielded herself above. She took her pace, running towards Vedry.

'if I can stop you then it over.' Yeln thought as she got closer to Vedry, avoiding the bullets from above.

'bingo!' Vedry thought, bringing out another remote. '

Striking out her sword towards him a mine exploded from beneath her, sending her to the sky where she was left exposed to the drones.

"That's enough!" Jade shouted and the fight ended.

"Tricky as ever." Racle commented as he approached the center. "Won't work on me though."

"We'll see about that." Vedry said, smiling at Racle.

"Tsk!"

"Alright, whoever win this one challenges Selina. Ready! Fight!" Jade said.

Racle brought out his dual sword and covered them with fire while Vedry did as he did before.

"Same formation huh, I know your crazy drones are just a distraction." Racle said running in zigzag towards Vedry.

"Tch, you this.... Darn it!" Vedry said seeing as Racle threw one of his swords at him. Vedry evaded it and in so doing the drones had stop firing. Racle quickly ran directly towards him.

Vedry brought out some explosives and threw them at Racle. Racle who has started feeling so powerful again smashed the explosives away.

"Was Racle that good at fighting?" Pjay asked.

"Who knows, maybe he's hiding something." Selina replied.

Jade was just observing and had gotten lost in thought as to why he was having a different vibe from Racle.

Immediately, his eyes opened wide in shock.

Sooner Racle was overwhelming Vedry. Eventually Vedry ran out of ammo, causing him to surrender as he wasn't too good with using his ability.

"Alright! The winner is Racle and he's going to be going up against his sister, Selina." Jade said gesturing at Selina to come forward. 'i just hope this isn't a bad idea.'

"It's obvious who's going to win." Pjay commented.

"I think Racle would be a good match for her." Vedry said, getting to where the others were.

"Hm, no way he's going to win." Yeln commented.

Selina walked to the center and brought out her sword.

"Never thought we'd be doing this you know." Racle said as he covered his sword with daunting flames.

"You don't do much training, I'm really surprised at how much better you've become." Selina said as she covered her sword in flames.

"I'm surprised too, I think I would have to ask dad what he's hiding." Racle said.

"Your fire vs my speed then." Selina said.

"Ready! Start!"
