The Day Before

They reach Grand City the city known as the capital of the world and is host to the Grand Tournament.

"It been a while since I been here," said Drazel.

"yeah probably when Patrick was still kicking," said Nightingale.

"It's so big here." said Rize "even bigger than Neo Gotham."

"whoa to ever think you be culture shocked Rize." Said Judas.

"you should see me in Dragonland," said Schaffe.

"hey speaking of Dragonland you know they are in this Tournament," said Cyrus who was reading a booklet of the tournament.

"What?" questioned John who looks at the Booklet.

"I see they're not a guild they are here to show what Dragonland has to offer and are thinking of expanding a DHO in Dragonland," said Cyrus.

"That's great they were strong opponents back when they were the enemy," said John.

"that will be great to face them again," said Rize.

"well let's go to the hotel so we can have the good old team meeting," said Judas. They then head to the hotel where they are staying which has a full gym for them that family and friends can stay at as well since Qliphoth rent the whole hotel to themselves with help from the DHO.

"so why to give us the whole place?" asked Anna.

"it so we have no spying or conflict with other guilds," said Nightingale. They enter a room where their no windows and only their members of the guilds.

"Alright since are all here this will be our prep night the first round of the tournament is tomorrow. This how it will go first this will be a five-on-five tournament the best out of three bouts wins the round these guys are not rookie hunters but some are veterans so they have combat experience." said Cyrus. "the first team we will face this tournament is called Marrowind. They have been Marrow's best guild for the last twenty years and for us who have been here for a couple of years now."

"not worried at all," said Rize confidently.

"figured as much anyway for our important roles for the tournament. First off as acting Guild Leader would be me this role is mainly for watching with the others for voting matters in the tournament. Team Coach, I have asked King Drazel if he will serve usual as strategy matters in the tournament. Team Captain would be John Ripply his calm mind and intelligence of combat would serve us well. Team Medics would be Lydia and Claire since they both know healing magic. any questions." said Cyrus.

"where is my Merchandise Store going to be?" asked Judas.

"really alright they have offered us a spot in the Arena," said Cyrus.

"Thanks," said Judas giving him a thumbs up.

"well you knowtist that there is no hotel staff in this building we are only letting Qliphoth members in this place so let's not wreck the place that all," said Cyrus. Rize would go to his room to change into a Qliphoth tank top and shorts and sneakers and head for the gym of the hotel. He goes to the pull-up bar and does pull-ups by only using his pinky fingers.

"These guys are going to be tough so a little workout ain't going to hurt," said Rize. Judas walking.

"damn you're a freak able to do this," said Judas.

"jealous," said Rize cockily.

"no but you got a good idea working out beforehand but do you need it?" asked Judas.

"gramps uses to say never underestimate your opponent always be ready to fight." Said Rize finishing his reps.

"your right," said Judas. Rize then gets on a treadmill and starts to run.
