Tino slowly walked towards Rens.
"How did you...?"
"That isn't important. But you want to master the art of psynergy so you can learn other skills, and make the skills you know more powerful."
"Yes..." Tino replied.
"Before we learn anything...what is Serko doing here?" Shards asked.
"Serko is here to learn how to create things with Psynergy." Rens replied.
"You can create things with psynergy!?" Tino said in surprise.
"Yes, don't forget – psynergy is all around us. It is everything...Earth, Wind, Water and Fire."
"Anyways...can you teach us?" Shards asked.
"I will. But only if you can beat Serko." Rens said to them.
"Beat Serko? But he knows Psynergy! It wouldn't be fair!" Tino said.
"Serko will not use psynergy in this battle." Rens said.
"You guys can't trust me...?" Serko asked them with a smirk.
"We don't want to trust you. It's too risky." Shards replied. Serko's smile turned into an angry frown.
"Well then Serko, shall we dance?" Tino asked.
"I don't want to dance with you. It's too risky." Serko replied. Shards whispered to Tino;
"Dude, he stole my rejection sentence!"
"It's alright." Tino said, and looked at Serko again,
"Let's do this."
Rens had taken them outside to the forest. There were so many trees that Tino felt like he had no room to breath. He looked over at Shards, and then looked at Rens.
"Is this a one on one battle?" Tino asked.
"Yes. However, if one of you fails to defeat Serko, the next one can battle him. If you both lose, I will not teach you." Rens replied.
"Shards, Can I go first?" Tino pleaded. Shards didn't know why Tino wanted to have this opportunity so much.
"Sure." Shards said with a grin. Tino walked in front of Serko, and Rens walked between them.
"When I lower my hand, the battle will begin." Rens said. Tino and Serko nodded, and she called out:
"Battle Begin!" She lowered her hand, and walked to the side.
Tino started sweating; he realized this was a one-chance opportunity. Serko started to dash towards Tino, but Tino moved away. Tino took out his Ruby Blade, and slashed at Serko, but Serko was dashing around quickly. Serko ran up to a tree, and started swiping at it with his long sword, until it started to become un-stable. Then he walked around the tree, and pushed it towards Tino. Tino quickly ran away from the tree, and jumped on it, then flipped behind Serko, and tried to take a swipe, but Serko used the handle of his sword to jab Tino in the stomach. Tino slowly fell to the Ground, and Serko was about to point his sword at Tino showing that Tino lost, but Tino rolled to the side – he wouldn't give up. He got back on his feet, and jumped onto the fallen tree once again. Serko followed him. Tino slowly walked across, and Serko started to charge behind Tino. Tino ran to the end of the fallen tree, and started to walk up another tree, this one stood tall. Serko looked at Tino walking up the tree, and Tino flipped behind Serko and used the back of his blade to hit Serko down to the ground. Serko fell, and hit the tree, and fell down to the dead grass. Tino pointed his blade at Serko's face. Tino had won the battle, Serko had nowhere to roll off to and escape because he was surrounded in a narrow area of trees.
"Good work Tino!" Shards said happily."
"You...beat me?" Serko said, surprised as ever.
"Good job Tino, now I will teach you."
