Another two hour long break has been announced, this time for Dinner at the mess hall. Many of the competitors were present. On the menu tonight: meatloaf and creamed corn.
A platinum haired girl dressed in all purple (with a sword in a sheath on her back) was walking to an empty table when she noticed Ryu sitting by himself and eating his food. She walked to his table and set her plate on the table.
"Good day to you, sir," Ivy said with a bow.
"Hey," Ryu replied. "Would you like to sit here?"
"Of course," Ivy said before taking a seat. "What a lovely island this is for a tournament to be held, don't you think?"
"Yes. This my second time here."
"You've fought here before?"
"It's a wonderful place. However, the last time I was here, a dark agenda was taking place. I have a feeling that it won't be much different now."
"That's what drew me here in the first place." Ivy unsheathed her sword and showed it to Ryu. "This blade of mine sensed an evil presence here, something unlike any other I have faced." Ryu nodded in amazement.
In another part of the mess hall, Kisara was busy cutting her meatloaf into tiny little pieces when she sensed something passing by her. She turned to see Ermac and Erron Black walking by her.
"Master," she called to Ermac, who, along with Erron, stopped to see his former pupil.
"Kisara," Ermac replied with a bow. "It's been a long time."
"Another one o' yours?" Erron guessed.
"Yes. She was a fast learner, one of the very first students we taught."
"How 'bout you guys sit with me so Ermac and I could reminisce some more?" Kisara suggested.
After looking at each other and nodding, Ermac sat across from Kisara and Erron sat next to him. As they ate, Ermac and Kisara talked about what she learned from him.
