VESSELS (THE AWAKENING)

As Yamato Kage struggled to understand his crushing defeat, Ichiha revealed "I am a stronger god vessel". The crowd buzzed with fear. Chella, a fellow student, watched with concern, while Sora, his good friend, seemed intrigued.

Yamato's laid in his depressed and confused stage as he stormed out of the arena. "I need to be on par," he muttered, beginning an intense training regimen. Sweat dripped from his brow as he lifted massive weights, his muscles screaming in protest. Yet, he persisted, driven by the memory of Ichiha's effortless victory.

The day blurred together as Yamato pushed himself to the limit. His muscles ached, his body bruised, but his spirit remained unbroken. Still he thought to himself that the intense training wouldn't be enough to make him come on top. Sora, on the other hand, seemed to be watching Yamato's progress with interest.

As Yamato trained, he began to notice no changes within himself. His strength increased a little, his speed improved, and his endurance grew. But he knew he still had a long way to go. "Ichiha's divine power remains a daunting goal" he said to himself. As dusk drew closer, his best friend Lumei, trying to keep him cool so he won't fall into the villainous side, unknowingly told him about a god who was exactly like him in every aspect but was sealed because he chose the villainous side. This struck Yamato's interest and pressured him to reveal more about this mystery god.

Yamato still interested in the god couldn't get any information from Lumei because the gods were ordered to not speak any descriptive information about the mystery god. Chella and Sora watched from the sidelines, each with their own motivations on how to win their next match. Ichiha, meanwhile, seemed to be waiting for him, to tell Yamato his joy in winning against him. While mocking Yamato, he said "if you were a vessel this humiliating defeat would have been a memorable battle, though I would win".

The Next Day

The stage was set for a new match. Would Sora and Chella's determination be enough to win the tournament.
