Chapter 4: Adrienne's Training and a New Victory!

It was two days after Adrienne's loss to Misaki Suzuhara and her new angel Tomoyo. She and Takehiro did maintenance since the fight and made sure that he was tio top shape.

"Looks like he wasn't hurt." Takehiro said as he unplugged the USB port to the display canister.

"That's a relief. I never knew that a light weight could push a heavy weight off the layer just like that." Adrienne said.

"Well, Misaki did beat two heavy weights during the games two years ago which happened to be Shirahime as one of them which according to Sai, she was able to get over Hikaru's weak point." Takehiro told her.

"Weak point?" Adrienne asked.

"You see, some angels have a weak point and Hikaru's was being too light. When I saw Tomoyo fighting Aerial, it seems to me that some of her weight was pulled down a bit even though she's also a light weight. But with that new hyper mode according to that one man, it is quite strong." Takehiro said.

"Hmm, I wonder what would be Aerial's hyper mode." Adrienne said as she looked at her angel. His eyes was closed like after he was created.

"I wonder as well. We should have you train with him before another fight and soon because in order to be in the Angelic Layer games you need to have one victory in order to get an angel card." Takehiro said.

"I see. Let's do it!" she exclaimed and they left Takehiro's home and headed towards the tournament center for a training session.

Meanwhile, Misaki was training Tomoyo against Ohjiro and his angel Wizard. After a kick off the layer. Ohjiro smiled and took off his visor and said, "You're still amazing Misaki." He walked over and picked up Wizard off the bound lines.

"Also you Ohjiro, you still fight extremely well!" she exclaimed.

"I have been practicing for a while and I thought it would be great to fight against your new angel." Ohjiro said.

"I guess dad told you." She said as she placed her angel on its display pad.

"Yes, he did. You don't seem happy about it when he did." He remarked.

"Well, I never thought I would have another angel besides Hikaru since she was the one who helped me get through the games two years ago and he wanted me to make a new one from the newer eggs." She told him.

"He wanted me to do the same thing to test it out as well." He told her.

"He did?" she asked.

"I'm considering it for now. I guess I will be heading home." He said and gave her a small peck and left. She blushed lightly and headed to her room.

At the tournament center, Aerial took down another obstacleand Adrienne sighed in relief.

"Way to go Adrienne." Takehiro said while he applauded.

She retrieved Aerial and said, "Thanks, I think I am getting a hand of this."

"You still have a long way to go." They heard and they turned to see both Sai and Kaede.

"Sai, Kaede!" Takehiro exclaimed.

"I guess we weren't the only ones training." Kaede stated.

"Yeah, I wanted to train before another fight on the layer." Adrienne said with a glum look on her face.

"Don't worry about it Miss Stone, the first fight usually never brings a win." Sai told her.

"Yeah, when I started I couldn't beat one of our classmates, so don't feel gloomy." Takehiro told her and she nodded in response.

"I know, why not fight against me. Since your angel is in the same weight class why not go against me and Shirahime?" Sai asked.

"Are you sure?" Takehiro asked.

"I think it would be best that she should fight another finalist from two years ago." Sai answered.

"Let's do it." Adrienne said. The both of them went to a rented layer.

"All right, enter the angels you two!" Takehiro exclaimed.

"Let the silver snow fall! Dance Shirahime!" Sai exclaimed and she threw Shirahime onto the layer and she landed on her feet. "The angel descends!"

"It's time to shine Aerial!" Adrienne exclaimed as she threw him onto the layer. He landed on his feet. Both angels faced each other on the layer not moving.

"Man, this feels like that fight with Suzuka." Takehiro said. Kaede nodded in agreement. They noticed Shirahime charge at him. "Holy crap!"

Aerial dodged by jumping and flipped in the air and then charged at her from the back and kicked Shirahime. Both angels were throwing kicks and punches at each other. They even dodged a few hits but got hit at some points.

Adrienne saw Aerial go down and yelled, "Oh no!" She controlled his moves to get up and he rose to his feet and him charge at Shirahime again and threw a kick at her and she punched him. "Silver Wing Mode" cursor blinking. "NOW SILVER WING MODE!"

"What!?" Sai asked.

"No way!" Kaede exclaimed.

"Looks like he got enough hits to start the mode!" Takehrio exclaimed in awe.

They saw Aerial sprout a pair of angel wings. "Silver wing slash!" Adrienne yelled and Aerial soard at Shirahime and they saw a silver light and Shirahime hit the layer unable to get up.

"Aerial wins!" Takehiro exclaimed.

"Whoa, I won?" Adrienne asked as she took her visor off.

"Yep, good show." Sai said as she picked Shirahime up off the layer.

"Why didn't she get pushed off the layer if I won?" Adrienne asked.

"You see Adrienne, when an angel wins is when either the opponent gets pushed off the layer or the opponent can't get back up on its feet." Takehiro explained.

"That means Sai couldn't get her back up." Kaede also explained.

"I see." Adrienne said.

"Now, since you won, here!" Takehiro said and handed her an angel card.

"Is this?" she asked.

"An angel card, now you can compete in the Kanto qualifying games like I am." Takehiro answered.

Adrienne smiled and said, "Thanks, I think Aerial would love this much as I do."
