The town where championship was held was small and quiet. Across it towered the building where participants were staying.

A blond boy was sitting at the table by the window, along with two girls. His gaze rested on young girl talking to older man who was wearing bandana.

He listened intently.

"Champion's sister." the older man said

"Come on, Mr. Gouki. I am not that good." the girl responded.

"Well, why don't we find that out?" Gouki said

At that point, Leon's eyes locked with girl's eyes.

He found himself staring at her deep blue eyes, which greatly resemled the ocean. He found himself enraptured, and he couldn't stop gazing at those. Then he saw another old man enter, one that greatly resembled Tear Knight, Cyprus.

Leon frowned at this.

"Team Aspiring Waters, let's go." he said

At this, the girl he was watching stood up, and boy and girl sitting on the table next to his stood up also. They then went out.

Leon frowned even more at this

"Charlene, Jillian, let's go." he said


Ceram struck Polaris with water, bringing the opponent to sixth damage. Elsewhere, Captain Nightmist and Bermuda Princess, Lena, finished the other two fights.

"Our next opponent are team Dreadnought. Be careful, it's Leon's team."

"We don't have to worry about them." an eerie voice came "I can defeat Leon."

Three pairs of eyes landed on Emi.

Emi's eyes were swirling

Asuna approached her, worried

"I am not sure you must keep that power. You're good enough without it."

"She has to keep it." old man interjected "Four winning teams must have a member with Psyqualia, and Leon already has it, so we have to win at least one stage to get to him."

Then Emi's eyes returned to normal. Two sapphire pools stared at others.

"No wonder she has it." Yuya thought "Her eyes are strange already, as it is."

He was somewhat a knowledge guru. He only joined the team because Emi interested him.
