The boy, the girl, the road...

David looked at her with confusion, not being able to understand what she proposed. He asks with a dumbfounded expression.

-You say what now?

Yui answers with urge.

-You want me in your team or not?

David speaks with a arrogant voice:

-Well I was looking for a teammate stronger than me. So I dont thi-

Yui moves so fast that David can't see her. She instantly puts her blade on David's throat but doesnt hurt him.Yui talks with determination.

-Am I allowed to be in your team now?

David puts his hands up.

-Yes ma'am...

-Call me Yui. Now let's go before my father, the daimyo, doesnt catch onto us.

Yui grabs David's hand before he even speaks and runs towards the exit. Yui's father looks angry and shouts:

-STOP THE PRINCESS!!!

The guards run after the two. Yui speaks with a amused and confident tone:

-Let me handle them, alright?

Yui makes a handmove.

-This is what we call as eoriki, Lightning Strike.

With a simple handmove she directs a lightning from above towards the guards and insanarates them in the process. She smiles at the dumbfounded David. He shouts in confusion:

-You could do that this whole time?!

-Yes I could, but I didnt find it necessary to use it on you.

David rolls his eyes, not amused by the idea of being used as a toy by her. With the guards away from them. They exit the arena and reach to the urban sides of shintooshi. David looks at the streets with excitement, as he has been in the arena's dormitories for a long time. He sees kids playing on the streets, people buying local specialties, friends eating street food while chatting about the tournament in the arena... Well, they still dont know how it ended with the princess escaping... As the two were passing through the streets, running with full speed. Yui stops, and gets infront of a grocery shop. David looks confused and speaks:

-Are you sure we are safe enough to buy groceries?

Yui says:

-Of course we are. It will take time for them to get backup. We should buy food for our journey.

David replies:

-Journey? What journey?

-Journey of us finding teammates and improving in strength... I hope you werent planning on confronting Quora like this.

David looks at her suspiciously.

-Wait how did you know I was looking for Quora.

Yui rolls her eyes:

-Umm, it is kinda obvious. You are from tengria. Which has a bigger arena than here. Plus it is way too far from here too. And you didnt kill Kayra. So you probably came here with a specific target, Quora.

-Oh... Well can't we fight her now?

Yui puts her hand on her face with annoyed expression.

-Quora, the prime god, is a allmighty entity that was created by the primordials to rule over mankind and protect them. You wouldnt even touch her before she alters creation itself and erases you from existence.

David is now annoyed but also solemn. He speaks:

-Well I cant say that she protects mankind...

Yui replies:

-I cant deny that humans have gone through a lot of hardship. But it is just the way this world works. There is a hierarchy...

Yui suddenly realizes she is making David upset and changes the direction of her words:

-Either way, I will help you defeat Quora and achieve your dream of liberation. Just trust me, alright?

David answers with a tired and solemn voice.

-Fine, I guess I have no choice. Do I?

Yui replies coyly:

-No you don't. Plus why wouldn't you want to hangout with me, the beatiful princess of Shintooshi?

-Stop bragging... Let's just buy our equipment and supplies...

-Very well then.

As yui walks in to the store, David asks:

-Umm, I dont have any money on me.

Yui looks at him with a amused smile:

-Don't worry. *She takes out a moneybag* Mama went to bank.

As the two enter the store. Somebody, somewhere else, is having a important meeting.

*Shintooshi, Tensigetsu*

-My lord, please spare me for entering so abruptly. But there is a important matter in the hand.

The man who is talking is the daimyo of the capital city, Yui's father. And infront of him is the one and only Quora, the prime god of creation. She is wearing a cold face and talks with a calm, emotionless voice:

-What is the matter? I seek something very important that made the daimyo reach out to me.

-My lord and shogun... During the tournament, my daughter ran away with a human...

Quora gets a little mad.

-How do you dare to come to me and seek help on a frivolous matter like this?

The daimyo gulps and speaks slowly, making sure his words are polite and proper.

-The human she left with... Has achieved a nirvana...

Quora breaks the glass of sake in her hand and gets mad, the daimyo gets pulled and choked by a invisible force as he starts to float because of it.Quora speaks with a angry voice and deadpan expression:

-Where did this human came from? How did you allowed him to escape?

The daimyo replies with a raspy voice:

-He is from Tengria, my lord...

Quora opens her eyes wide and starts to walk away as she strangles the daimyo with a invisible force. She realizes something and gets angry, the reality around her starts to shake by her anger. The daimyo speaks with worry and fear:

-M-my lord, please spare me. I promise I will-

Quora breaks the daimyo's neck with a simple handmove. She didnt even touch him, as if she ordered his neck to break itself. Quora calls for her servants to clean up the mess and give the message:

-Find me that human.
