The tournament had arrived.

Everyone gathered at the plaza and waited for Gorn to arrive. Only the strongest of the Lightning Guild, who only needed the fourth level to progress, would participate. The others were only here to watch. Including Gravis, there were only eight contestants in the tournament, and everyone had a fully tempered body, except for Gravis.

Gravis could also see Jaimy watching the tournament. He was looking at Gravis with an imploring expression, and Gravis could only sigh. Gravis had already decided on an answer.

Gravis would win.

The thought that made him decide on that was a simple one. Jaimy had said that it would only be three months. So, if the siblings had to wait, it would also only be three months. Jaimy had said that three months meant nothing to Gravis, and if it meant nothing to Gravis, then it should also not mean anything to Jaimy and Frank.

Also, what if Frank wasn't able to condense his Lightning Seed to 50% Destruction Energy due to his weak will? The fourth level could only be more painful than every level before it. Was Gravis supposed to give up the next tournament too? He wouldn't.

So, Gravis decided to win the tournament. He didn't feel any pity for Frank, but he felt pity for Jaimy. Jaimy only wanted to make his brother's life easier, but he had corrupted his will by doing that. Gorn had said that the Lightning Guild did not create greenhouse flowers, because only wildflowers would be able to weather the storm.

One can't pull someone else to strength. Even Gravis' father wasn't able to pull someone up to his level. He could only give them a certain amount of strength, and then they needed to rely on themselves. Frank would start having problems in the Energy Gathering Realm. His will would probably also not be strong enough to temper his Spirit.

"Alright," shouted Gorn as he arrived. "You eight are the participants?" he asked the eight people in the middle of the plaza, who simply nodded. "Perfect! Eight people make for an exact elimination tournament bracket. So, we'll be doing just that."
