"so you''re the legendary Kid in the kinsman n who managed to awaken two Martial Spirits huh"


    Hearing these words, Dante broke out of his own thoughts and looked up only to see Randall, the Patriarch of the Pierce n right in his face.


    Surprised by this sudden appearance Dante quickly backed of in shock.


    Seeing this Randall couldn''t help butugh.


    "Hahaha! There''s no need to be so scared, me and your uncle are great friends after all" said Randall


    "I''m sorry Patriarch Randall, but your sudden appearance just shocked me that''s all" replied Dante


    "There''s no need to apologise, it''s my fault for not respecting your personal space. I have a daughter a few years older than you and although she''s not as talented as you, she''s still a talent in her own right. With a mutated version of our bloodline Martial Spirit, she will definitely be one to watch out for during this tournament"


    "Well then, I guess I should leave you alone to get ready for the tournament, goodbye" As he spoke Patriarch Randall flew away leaving a perplexed Dante watching on as he left


    ....


    As Patriarch Randall left he approached the stands designated for the Pierce n, he was soon greeted by an elegant young woman wearing a green veil.


    "So how was he, this new dual Martial Spirit talent that of the kinsman n?" Asked the veiled woman


    "He''s mysterious one really, I could clearly sense the two terrifying martial spirits inside of him but the craziest thing is that it felt like each martial spirit was greater than anything I''ve ever seen and seeing that he has two of these he would be able to go far in life," said Patriarch Randall


    "Unfortunately for him, the talent of the ter n, Curtis ter, will be returning and he will be lucky if he can survive to see another day let alone the future"


    "let''s not jump to conclusions just yet." said the veiled woman


    "The kinsman seems to calm for someone that could possibly face extinction, they clearly have something nned, we shouldn''t underestimate them just yet...


    …


    Meanwhile, as Patriarch Randall was exining his recent discoveries the members of the kinsman n were having their own talk


    "Where is this Curtis ter everyone was talking about?" Asked Dante


    "Don''t tell me he''s just some lie that the ter n made up"


    "I doubt he''s a lie they made up" replied Patriarch Gavin


    "I trust my ability to gather information too much to start doubting myself now and besides, does Nn look like someone who''s been lying this whole time?"


    As Patriarch Gavin spoke he pointed towards Nn


    Turning towards Nn, you could see he sat confidently with a slight smirk on his face and this obviously wasn''t the look of someone who had something to hide. in fact, it was more of the look of someone who was confidently waiting for something good to happen.


    Suddenly as Patriarch Gavin and the rest were talking, the ground around them began to shake


    "Rumble! Rumble!"


    There was a loud rumble that rang across the whole of Brightsteel city. As this was going on a giant blood-red pir formed in the sky.


    But as you looked more closely at the pir you could see that the new phantom formed wasn''t actually a pir in fact it was actually a giant blood-red sabre!


    "Devouring Demon sabre…" said someone around Dante


    "Wait, isn''t that the martial spirit of the Elder from the Blood Moon Pce?"


    "Shittt! The Blood Moon Pce is here!" Eximed one person


    "It''s over, can you feel that aura? We don''t stand a chance!"


    While the members of the kinsman n were panicking, a cold voice rang throughout the whole of Brightsteel city


    "I Elder Mahan of the Blood Moon Pce, upon receiving an invitation from Curtis ter, havee As a guest of the ter n to watch the tri-annual inter-npetition."


    An old man with a bloody aura around him slowly floated down from the sky into the centre of the arena.


    As he floated down, there was a handsome young man with a proud smile that floated next to him. This man was of course Curtis ter.


    "Hahaha! Brightsteel City I am back!!"


    "This time we shall see who is the real trash of Brightsteel city!" Eximed Curtis


    Dante felt Elder Mahan''s gaze sweep over members of the Kinsman n as his aura caused some members to start shaking in fear.


    Instantly both Winton and Gavin fully stimted their auras cancelling out the aura of Elder Mahan and freeing the members of the Kinsman n.


    "Snort!"


    Seeing that the members of the Kinsman n had managed to resist his little test, Elder Mahn let out a cold snort and headed towards the ter n stand.


    As they approached the ter n stand, both Elder Mahan and Curtis received a warm wee.


    "Elder Mahan, it''s a great pleasure that you managed toe to such a small event like this one. I also have to thank you for looking after my boy all this time, I know he can be a great hassle at times." Said Patriarch Nn


    "There''s no need to be so formal and call me Elder, you can just call me Brother," said Elder Mahan


    "How could I call you Brother! I still need to show some basic respect." Replied Patriarch Nn.


    "A teacher for a day, a father for life. As Curtis''s master, I always treated him like a son and as his biological father it''s only right you can call me Brother" stated Elder Mahan


    "Well if you insist that''s how it will be then, Brother Mahan"


    "Hahahaha! That''s how it should Brother Nn!"


    Seeing his master and Father getting along well, Curtis finally got his chance to speak


    "Father! It''s good to see you again after all these years."


    "Curtis, my boy! It''s good to see you, just look at how strong you''ve gotten, you''re almost as strong as your old man!"
