Volt and Yuji were walking out of the forest together, as they did, Volt was exercising his left wrist "Wow, maybe I went a little too overboard when we were training.", he said. Yuji asked "Why do you say that?", Volt explained "Usually when you train, your body feels heavy, especially after you're done with training. But it doesn't feel like it's aching to the point that your wrist wants to come off.", Yuji looked at him "Hm? Is that the reason why you've been playing with your hand like that?". Volt responded "Kinda.", Yuji scoffed "It's probably going to stop soon.". As the two boys kept walking, Yuji asked "By the way, Volt, how's your sister Rem doing?", Volt responded "Rem? I don't know. She's probably fine. I haven't checked up on her in a while, but I'm sure she's okay.". Yuji kept quiet for a while "You know, you should probably try talking to her at least once. I get that you're taking measures from her considering what Regina told me about behaviour, but still.", Volt replied "You've got a point. But i don't think I'll follow through by checking up on her. She's the kind of person who's selfish, I'm not saying a person can't be selfish, but her's is the kind of selfish nature that puts everyone at risk. It pisses me off.". Yuji smirked nervously "You really are ticked off about her, huh.", Volt then asks"Yuji, you're friends with the red haired fire guy, right?", Yuji looked confused "Red haired fire guy....? You mean Roy? Yeah, we are friends. He's a good guy.", Volt responded "No he's not.". Yuji was a bit taken back by Volt's statement "Huh? What do you mean?", he asked, Volt explained "I know he's your friend, and I'm not stopping you from being friends with him, but as your friend, I have to tell you the truth. That Roy Blaze guy is scum of the earth.". Yuji was a little shocked seeing the seriousness in Volt's eyes "Volt....?", he muttered his friends name to himself "What makes you say that?", he asked. Volt explained "I may not have told you this, but I fought Roy In the gladiator rounds.", Yuji blinked "Huh? Really...? You fought him?", he asked with surprise. Volt explained "When we fought, I noticed something about him. He's more experienced, and he's extremely dangerous, especially with those fire bombs of his. But there's something about him I don't like, and that's the fact that he's extremely arrogant and unnecessary ruthless. That Roy guy is also funded of rage baiting too. He tried playing minds tricks on me ones, and that was because Rem, my own sister, cheered him during the match rather than rooting for me, all because she liked him.". Suddenly, it all clicked "So that's the reason why Volt barely relates with Rem, It all makes sense now. I remember when Rem ignored Volt once and went straight for Roy, so she likes Roy? And now that I think of it, back when we were kids, Roy was fond of setting kids pants of fire just for fun. And when the kids he bullied tries to fight back, he burned him and the entire class room like a joke. Luckily, the kids he harmed only took minor damages while Roy was suspended for a month each time he did stunts like those.", Yuji turned to Volt "Roy's been toying with Volt while using Rem, it's making sense. Personally, I don't feel offended by this, but since he did this to a friend of mine, I can't take it laying down.", Yuji said to himself. Yuji smirked at Volt "Don't worry, Volt. When next I see Roy, I'll set him straight. I'm not saying I'll make him apologise or anything, but I'll make sure he understands what he's doing is wrong, and if I feel like it, I'll cut him off.". Volt's eyes widened "Huh? Really, you'd do that?", he asked, Yuji smirked in response "Yeah, offcourse I would. You are my friend after all.", Volt couldn't believe what he just heard, his eyes widened before he smiled "Yeah, we're friends.". Meanwhile, the girls were in an arcade playing video games together. On one side, there was Mio who was playing a car game with Rem who was her opponent. Behind Mio was Regina, Lydia and Marallda, while behind Rem was Yuki, Racheal and Gwen. Mio was finding It hard to move properly with her steering "Oh come on, why did i have to get the bad steering? Its making this game hard.", Regina responded while fixated for Mio's victory "Its probably because you're bad at the game. And if your don't move fast enough, Rem's gonna beat you to it.", Mio cried out "I know...!". As for Rem, she was ahead of Mio, but not too far away that Mio couldn't catch up "Hah! This is easy. I'm better at playing games than you are Mio, you're going to have to do better than that.", Yuki looked at her with suspicion "You do realise that despite how horrible Mio is at the game...", Mio was offended "Hey!", Yuki continued to talk "She's still able to keep up with you. You're not even 90 meters away from her.", Gwen added "She's not lying Rem, you're only a few yards away....". Gwen pointed to the screen "And look, she's almost caught on to you with a short period of time.", Rem's eyes widened "Huh?!", she looked at her left and saw Regina had taken the wheel from Mio "HEY! THAT'S NOT FAIR! YOU CANT JUST PLAY IN FOR MIO!". Regina responded while being focused on the game "There's nothing that says I can't!", Rem sneered in frustration "AAAHH!". Both players had zoomed past, lap one lap two and lap three, all the way to lap 4. As soon as they were making it to the final lap, Rem and Mio(Regina) were neck in neck. Rem was grinning her teeth with frustration, Regina seemed focused on the game, Mio was behind Regina, shaking. As for the rest of the girls that included Marallda, Gwen, Yuki, Lydia and Racheal, they all just watched in anticipation, concentrated on the game. Both Regina and Rem's cars made it to the finish line at the same time [GAME: TIE.....!", the game declared. Mio, Regina, Rem, Yuki, Marallda, Lydia, Racheal and Gwen all got frustrated "GAAAAHH!", they groaned. Mio on the other hand had tears falling from her eyes "AAAAHHH! I REALLY WANTED TO WIN....!", Regina comforted her "There there. I know.". Rem yelled "HEY! YOU CHEATED ALL THROUGH....!", Regina turned back with an annoyed look "Was there a rule that said I couldn't cheat....?", she asked. Yuki teased "HAH! YOU GOT BEAT!", Rem yelled "SHUT IT!"
