The escort carrying all the new recruits finally arrive the capital, our 3 friends stare in awe as all they've heard are stories and they're finally seeing it for themselves until they reach a powerful structure, it took the structure of a colosseum, it was the base of the Ephnix knights when the king comes to address the recruits.

King Eram: Well done to all of you, you are brave knights already... For summoning th courage to step forward even without knowledge of what awaited you.

Recruits: Thank you highness!!

King Eram: The Tournament of Control is an event between us and our neighboring kingdoms, during the first month you will under go training to strengthen and prepare you for when the Guardian Gate opens.

After the speech the general tells them to prepare for immediate training and observation, Tajida and his friends are told to pair up against 3 others to commence their training; the goal.... to knock your opponent down or out. The 3 are faced off against 3 brothers from another village, they each pick an opponent Tajida is left with a Wind Magister of Semi 3rd Appeal; he was given a tough opponent and had to be smart about this fight, he reveals the presence of a 4th Appeal fighter but not his skill the wind magister was surprised and began laughing Tajida knew why he was behaving as such.

Tajida: My appeal amuses you.

Odema: Of course it does, a weakling who won't reveal his attribute.

Tajida: I must have my reasons for it.

Odema: Just don't give up because I won't let it.

Tajida: Wasn't planning to.

The fight begins, Odema attacks him Tajida activates "Acceleration" and counters with both fighters exchanging blows at a fast pace, surprised Tajida can keep up Odema increases the speed of his attacks; channeling more strom into his acceleration to improve it's effects, Odema backs away sending arrows of wind in large numbers and fast speed at Tajida, switching to deceleration to dodge them then to "Gravity Redux" but not activating it; attacking Odema taking he risk of losing to slip up his stance, successfully. Activates the art as Odema lost his balance due to the effect of he art Odema could not regroup leaving him open to Takida's furious assault, the fight ends with Odema passed out on the ground and Tajida victorious his friends also coclude their battles and Dohra winning by a slim chance; there were other battles through the day and Tajida won them all without revealing his skill, the day ended and they were shown to their tents and bath house and where they would eat before given the evening for themselves.
