The twins and Mio finish bathing and head back to their room to get dressed and they do they leave their room and head to the dining area where Kyle was nonstop talking to Zain like a persistent door to door salesman.
"Please Mr. Jack would you consider joining us?"
"I already said no. Why do you even want me to join you anyway? The hero is the strongest human, or at least he's supposed to be and those twins are stronger than me already."
Zain points in the direction of the doorway behind Kyle where Aki and Ryuki came walking in while clinging on either side of Mio attempting to sooth her anger. Kyle spares a glance over his shoulder then he leans closer to Zain, who used the appraisal function of his mask on Mio.

(Alright but I don't really trust them, ya know? Ryuki has tried to kill me multiple times. It's just a matter of time before he snaps and actually kills me or Lloyd.)
"... not my problem. Frankly, I just don't want to get involved with you. I am a very busy man, I only came here to fight in the tournament, after that I have to get back home immediately I have a wife and child waiting for me... anyway i am leaving now, lets go."
Zain turns to the exit with the two girls following behind him and they leave Kyle standing there watching dumbfoundedly as they leave after rejecting him so harshly.
"Damn it. why doesn't anyone ever want to join us."
Kyle curses under his breath as he leaves the dining area angry and goes back to his room and completely passes by Lloyd who woke up and is still slightly sore.
"Hey Kyle what's goi-"
Lloyds words were cut off by Kyle slamming the door to his room. Lloyd gives a skeptical look at his friends door then makes his way to the dining area and join Aki, Ryuki and Mio who are sitting and Mio is eating some eggs and sausage while the twins lean on either side of her.
"Whats going on with Kyle? he seems mad."
"Hell if I care."
"I also couldn't care less."
"when we walked in here it looked like he was talking with Jack, the guy who fought first in the tournament yesterday."
Lloyd sat across from the three and the twins gave blunt answers while snuggling closer to Mio who was pushing them away while she was eating and actually answered Lloyd.
"I see. I had guessed he would try to ask him to join us and I'm also guessing he got turned down, but I dont see how that would make him this angry. He has always been a chill guy."
"Maybe it's his time of the month."
Ryuki said while laughing which received a small chuckle from Aki and a glare from Mio, while Lloyd just tilts his head in confusion toward Ryuki.
"What do you mean, 'time of the month'?"
"You know, when a woman gets her period?"
"Whats a period?"
Aki who answered Lloyd's question gets asked another question which causes the three to look at Lloyd with dumbfounded expressions.
"You can't be serious."
"Are you for real?"
"Have you never met a woman before?"
"I'm completely serious and I have met multiple women before, my mother, my elder sister, the princess, Kyle's mother and the queen. I know multiple women."
"If your mother didn't teach you then I'm in no place to do it for her."
"Yup."
"indeed."
Mio responded followed by Ryuki then Aki and they stand up while Mio returns her plate to the counter and start heading towards the exit.
"The next fight in the tournament will start soon, if you're interested in watching the rest of it."
Ryuki calls back to Lloyd as the door closes behind them.
"That was unexpected I would have thought the hero would have had at least two previous girlfriends."
"Right? Wasn't the previous hero a huge womanizer?"
"From what grandpa said, yeah he was. He even tried going after grandma which caused grandpa to beat him up and stop traveling with him."
"We haven't seen grandpa in a hundred or so years, right? lets go visit him after the tournament."
"Great idea. We can even introduce him to Mio."
Ryuki and Aki were talking between themselves with Mio in between them who looked a bit uncomfortable.
After some time they make it to the colosseum and they hear the soft pitter-patter of paws on stone and see cat form Vayleen running towards them with Aki Jr floating behind her. Vayleen still cat form jumps onto Ryuki's shoulder while Aki Jr perches on Aki's
"Hey, did you two have fun?"
{Yeah, though Aki Jr kept getting into trouble...}
"Like what?"
{She kept spitting flames and burnt a few food stalls down, though nobody got hurt.}
"... Aki train your child to behave."
"Hey, I didn't teach her that!"
"You also didn't teach her not to..."
Ryuki nags Aki who denys it vehemently and gets that fact pointed out to her by Mio. They hear heavy footsteps getting closer until a shadow falls over them.
"Hey guys, how's it going?"
"Good, I talked to that Jack guy and he said that he'd be willing to make me a new wing."
"Sweet, then I won't have to carry you guys anymore. Honestly the hero's armor is really pointy, it's quite painful."
Shortly after Jaxon rejoined them, the group enter the colosseum and take their seats.
{GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYBODY!!!!!}
The announcer says as the seats start filling up.
{TODAY WE WILL START WITH MATCH NINE BETWEEN RYUKI ZALDEN AND HIS OPPONENT ALLEN PALOS!!}
"Oh, I'm fighting today? This victory will be for you Mio."
Ryuki says that cliche line as he kisses Mio and starts walking down to the arena where his opponent also is. Allen, an ogre.
{Oh. Well, rest in peace Allen.}
Vayleen says as she now seats herself in Mio's lap.
"Why do you say that?"
"Because Ryuki hates ogres with a passion."
{That and he said he'd dedicate this victory to you so he's either going to kill that guy or make him wish he was never born.}
"That so..."
{LET THE MATCH, BEGIN!!!}
As soon as the announcer said 'begin' Ryuki vanished from sight and reappeared a millisecond later a couple feet in the air so he's face to face with the ten foot tall ogre and punches him square in the face giving Allen a bloody nose and knocking a couple teeth out.
Some of the blood flies out and a small drop landed on Ryuki's haori jacket as he also landed on the ground and he looks down at his kimono, his already thin pupils go even thinner as he looks at the blood splatter on his clothes.
{WOW, RYUKI IS SO FAST IT CAUGHT ALLEN COMPLETELY OFF GUARD AND WAS LEFT TO TAKE RYUKI'S PUNCH SQUARE IN HIS FACE!!!}
"..."
Ryuki kept silent and still staring at the blood on his clothes.
{WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!?! WHY IS RYUKI JUST STANDING THERE AS IF HE IS FROZEN?!?!?!}
"oh boy..."
Aki let out a sigh while shaking her head. Ryuki slowly begins to look up at Allen who was now charging towards him and let a whisper nobody heard.
"... how dare you."
"HOW DARE YOU GET YOUR FILTHY BLOOD ON THE CLOTHES MY PRECIOUS MIO MADE FOR ME?!?!!!!! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!"
Once again Ryuki vanishes from sight and reappears at Allen's side and he grabs his arm with his fingers digging into and puncturing his flesh.
"AAAHHHHHHGGGG"
Allen raised a pain scream as Ryuki's fingers dig into his flesh and threw him against the wall of the arena, breaking several ribs. Ryuki starts walking closer to where Allen landed.
"You disgusting filthy beast. Who gave you permission to be alive?"
Ryuki said through gritted teeth as he reach Allen and stomped on his chest breaking several more bones and puncturing the lungs.
"I WANT TO KNOW WHO DAMN IT!!"
Ryuki once again stomped on Allen's chest triggering the barriers affect preventing him from dying.
{THAT WAS BRUTAL!!!! THE MATCH I-}
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGG"
The announcers words were cut off by another pained scream from Allen who had gotten his arm crushed by Ryuki's foot making it look like a half empty toothpaste packet.
{WOAH! HEY, THE MATCH IS OVER RYUKI, YOU WON!!!!}
Despite the announcers loud voice Ryuki doesn't respond at all and keeps crush each of Allen's limbs but when the third was crushed Allen passed out with his eyes rolled back causing Ryuki to just kick him to the other side of the arena because of the lack of response. After Ryuki kicked Allen, a couple knights and medical personal rush into arena after the barrier was lowered and Ryuki took off his haori jacket tossing it to the ground and uses a black flame from his hand setting it on fire burning it to ash in an instant as he walks out of the arena.
