A day had passed since the fight against the Star twins and the duo between Kazuma and Yuji. Yuji was in a hospital bed fast asleep, in his dream where he saw himself in a dark void, he thought to himself "I feel so weak, like as if my body is as light as air. Right now I feel like the world is nothing and that I can do whatever I want.". As he was floating around in a dark void in his mind, he heard voices chattering "I feel...", Yuji woke up and sat up straight just to see himself in a hospital room with his friends sitting on the floor and playing card games. Kito exclaimed with a smirk "Heh, and I win!", as he dropped all his cards on the deck that all had square shapes. Volt clicked his tounge "Tch, third time in a row huh? Lucky lunatic.", Baroka sighed and let out a dry laugh "Ah, I was so close. All I needed was just one circle and that was the win for me.", Rem showed all her card of triangles while teasing them "You all suck. I got all triangles, but my sharp edged twin brother dropped his cards before I did.", White replied her while looking at her with a funny frown "If you didn't win, then don't tease like that.", Lydia added as she was also sitting with Mio and Racheal while playing a card game "She's right Rem.". Rem took a sigh with a smile "You all are mean.". She looked up and saw Yuji staring at them in disbelief "Huh? Yuji, you're awake?", she exclaimed. Everyone In the room turned to Yuji "YOU'RE AWAKE!", they all exclaimed as they rushed to him with concern and excitement. "How are you doing?", "Does your hand hurt?", "Hope your head isn't aching!", everyone bombarded him with questions. Volt and White all stared at everyone giving him attention, they had rather straight faces "You know, if you all keep rushing him with questions, he might not process any of these questions properly". Yuji sighed while scratching his head with a tired smile "Its fine, it's fine.". A few moments later, Yuji sat up straight while facing everyone "So how long have I been asleep?", he asked, Rem replied "You've been out for a day.". Yuji on hearing this replied with shock "Huh? A day? Seriously?", Mio also replied "Yep, we were all worried about you. Especially myself and Regina. Kazuma on the other hand wasn't all that scared, he said something about you being strong enough to handle it and that it would be a matter of time before you woke back up.". Lydia added "Actually, I thought you were going to die with the way Regina was crying about you.", Rachel smiled nervously and added "Yeah, I also thought you gave up the ghost. Sorry.", Yuji just replied with a dry smile "Ah, I see. Sorry for making you all worry.". Yuki explained while sitting on Kito's lap "Either way, we're all glad you're doing well. The way you crashed out during the fight against the star twins gave everyone goosebumps...", she started to shake her hips with her finger touching her mouth "That's alot coming from me.". Kito exclaimed stunned and shyly "Yuki!!! You can't just do that. Stop it.", Yuki turned to him with a smirk "But you are liking it, aren't you?", Yuji had another tired smile after seeing Yuki shaking her hips on Kito while sitting on his lap "I don't think you should be doing that while trying to explain something to someone, you know.". Mio just sighed and told Yuji "Well, I'm happy you're doing fine. I'll text Regina and tell her that you're awake.", Lydia added "She's probably going to rush here faster than she has ever moved and hug him while breaking his bones.", everyone just smiled nervously "I can totally envision that.", they thought to themselves. Yuji turned and asked "By the way, where's Kazuma?", Mio's facial expressions changed to slight sadness "I actually don't know. After we all celebrated his win in the match, we dropped you in the hospital, patched him up and went to go have a small party. After the party was done, he just left without a word.". Yuji looked down at the floor with a sad look on his face "Oh, well I hope he's doing well.", Kito just sighed and said "Its probably because of the way he fought against Monoma after he lost it. He's probably being confronted by some kind of special higher up or something. Either way, he's just busy with something we don't know of.", White also sighed "Whatever, he's probably okay. Now that Yuji's awake, let's go out and eat something good.". Everyone looked at White with excitement, the only exception being Volt, Kito and Yuji "So you're going to pay for us", White yelled with annoyance "FUCK NO!". Meanwhile, Kazuma was in the Lords office, he stood right infront of Fugaku who looked at Kazuma with a straight face and his fingers interlocked. His brown eyes were starting to gleam as he looked at Kazuma with the room looking dark "Kazuma Starion, let's have a chat, shall we?", Kazuma also had a straight face and replied "Sure, I don't have a problem with that.". About thirty minutes later, both Kazuma and Lord Fugaku were playing a game of chess, Fugaku was a bit impressed with how well Kazuma played, Kazuma had found a way to block most of Lord Fugaku's attempts of checkmates while also having taken a decent number of his chess pieces . Fugaku explained to Kazuma with a smirk of amusement "Starion, is it okay that I call you by your surname?", Kazuma replied "Its cool, i don't mind you calling me that.". Fugaku proceeded to ask "Do you know that power has the ability to increase one's knowledge, but knowledge itself can't increase a person's power?", Kazuma replied while playing the chess game "No sir, I had no idea.". Fugaku and Kazuma kept on playing "Well you see, when a person has acquired knowledge, they have the ability to be vast in terms of overall tactical skills and strategy. But if a person has power, they immediately have a good amount of knowledge of what they can do and what they can't do. What they're eyes can see would be far more than what the mind can see itself. The world becomes like a table that has been turned over it's head. Having knowledge is good, but knowledge without the power to execute said plans is nothing. The same thing goes for power. Power without knowledge of controlling it or using it is just another temper tantrum.". Kazuma's eyes tilted upwards to Fugaku "May I be so bold to ask where you're going with this, Lord Fugaku?", Fugaku pointed at Kazuma with one eye glowing brown and the other being shadowed "I'm asking you if you know what your powers are truly capable off.".
