Gyo and the Seal Test

In the blinding light, Gyo's body seemed to float and slowly began to fall like the light began to suck it. In the confusion and emptiness of not knowing what to do, a warm hand grabs Gyo's hand and leads him to a place that looks unfamiliar.

"W-where am I? What really happened to me?" Gyo wondered.

"Welcome, this is your deepest sea of consciousness," said the person who took Gyo's hand.

"Y-You !! Aren't you the person I have seen in my dreams?" said Gyo in surprise.

"Yes, and it seems like this is the first time we have met face-to-face," the person answered.

Unexpectedly it turned out that the person in the sea of Gyo's awareness was Grand the owner of the first Gold Eyes.

"At that time I still didn't have enough energy to go to this place so you accidentally saw the past when I got Gold Eyes," Grand explained.

"Then what happened to my body? Didn't I just compete?" Gyo asked.

"Gold Eyes is currently entering a star phase where Gold Eyes will release the first seal," Grand answered.

"This is a test for you because of the release of the seal. You must be able to complete this test because your body is currently controlled by this evil force born from Gold Eyes," he continued.

Instantly Gyo was shocked as if she could not believe what was happening to her.

"What if I fail with this exam later? What will happen to me ?," Gyo asked again.

"I suggest you to complete this test. I don't want you like me to be completely controlled by the evil forces because you can't finish the final exam," Grand said sadly.

With a heavy heart, Grand explained what would happen if it failed to complete the exam.

"Forget that, you better get into the test arena quickly. I can't hold this anymore," Grand said hurriedly.

"B-but ..."

Before Gyo had time to continue his words, Grand had pulled him away and brought him to a place he did not know before, Grand finally disappeared and left Gyo alone.

"Remember to always believe in yourself and don't let yourself be consumed by greed"

Those were the last words Grand said before disappearing.

Gyo is now in a room that contains a small pool in front of it which contains very clear water. Suddenly when he saw the water in the pool made Gyo want to wash his face there.

"Strange, why is the exam like this? Maybe the test is just to wash the face in this pool," Gyo said as he hurriedly took the pool water with both hands.

When taking water from the pool, suddenly his glasses that appeared out of nowhere fell in the pool. Instantly a large golden snake appeared and asked what item had fallen.

"Did you drop this Gold Eyes?" asked the snake with Gold Eyes floating in front of him.

Gyo who saw this fell silent seeing what was happening in front of him.

"What happened? Isn't that my Gold Eyes? But wasn't it just the glasses that fell down earlier?" Gyo wondered.

"No, I seem to have heard stories like this when I was a child. It's like the story of a woodcutter who accidentally dropped his ax into a lake filled with giant snakes," Gyo said talking to himself.

"So what is your answer, O man," said the snake urgently.

Smiling confidently Gyo said, "No! I don't feel like I've dropped that thing."

"Then surely you have this one," said the snake, giving Gyo's glasses to him.

Gyo slowly accepts his glasses floating towards him. Shortly after receiving his glasses, Gyo was sucked into a whirlpool of space and time that made him carried to a magnificent palace with someone he knew sitting on the throne of the king and next to him stood an advisor he had seen.

"Grand !!"

"Turns out he is a king in this place," Gyo said admiringly.

Suddenly a voice came out of nowhere that said that this was the end of the exam that Gyo was going to take. Gyo was amazed by what he was experiencing so he took the initiative to tour the place.

"As I expected, the people in this place can't see me like they did before," Gyo said silently.

A few moments later, 4 people entered facing the Grand who sat on the throne. The four were Grand sisters.

"Sis, what are you calling us here?" asked Clau, one of Grand's younger siblings.

"I heard that some of my sisters planned to stage a coup. I don't know what happened but do you no longer have any respect for your brother who is caring for you after your father is gone," snapped Grand.

"II don't know anything, brother, I just heard that today from your brother's mouth," Nick answered the second sister of Grand.

"Because there are those of you who really want to occupy this throne, it looks like I have to do a bounce ball match with you according to the tradition that my father passed down to us," Grand said.

Meanwhile, Gyo, who was watching this, began to feel bored because it felt like it was not a test.

"Where's the test? It's more like an outsider looking at family problems," Gyo said, slightly embarrassed.

Suddenly Gyo was already in a field complete with two rattan rings that reminded him of a basketball game.

"Very quickly I arrived at this place. Was I teleported?" said Gyo in surprise.

"And more importantly, isn't this the basketball court?" Gyo was even more surprised to see the field in front of him.

A moment later, Grand entered the field with his four younger siblings by holding a ball made of ox skin that could be reflected.

"Now who wants to advance first? Anyone who can score just one point from me, so I'm happy to give the king's throne," Grand said while activating his Gold Eyes.

The aura created by Gold Eyes was so strong that it made 2 of his siblings moan in pain before it finally went out of control with their left eyes now jet black.

With savage they tried to pounce on the ball held by Grand while two other Grand sisters fell limp and finally fainted.

Meanwhile Gyo who witnessed it began to be covered in a black aura which slowly surrounded him. With great difficulty Gyo tried to suppress the black aura so as not to control his body.

"Looks like from here my test will start soon," Gyo said silently.
