"<span class="mu-g"><span class="mu-i">My dear Debutants and fine ladies in search for a suitable Dao Companion, I have great news.
Coming right from Stable Lotus Harbor, looks like the Eastern Branch of Beast Tamers are partaking in today's tournament. And as speculated, the one deemed Most eligible Bachelor Rookie is among them - The Hawk That Will Brighten Your Life, Pretty Boy Bathias!</span></span>
- <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">Oh no. It beginned so fast...</span></span>"
Hearing the call of the sword-riding Fairy Maiden, a swarm of locust - worst, of fourth-rank and above maiden - cluster around the cart, miring at a very embarassed Bathias. He sits in silence, glaring at his feet while a cacophony of voices attempt to make him know his life will be greatly enhanced by accepting the alliance with that Heir of the Mistriding Raiju Sword or this Young Priestress of the Healing Silver Mirror. Granted, that strikingly beautiful jade-skin, long-flowing silk-like hair shine among the colored crowd thanks to her flying device, a giant silver mirror acting as her seat, throne of the bachelorette's Queen among her court.
"<span class="mu-s">Bathias, my boy, I know how awkward you must feel, but you shall know I desire greatly of one day having a sliver your prospects of a good Dao Partner.</span>
- <span class="mu-s"><span class="mu-b">I won't comment on that as I feel like you're a man dying of thirst while I'm drowning, and I deeply doesn't know which fate is the worst</span></span>"
Despite the crowd, you land in a great stadium, greater even than your mother's sect impressive compounds.
"<span class="mu-s">Fights won't start before the afternoon. You have time for last-minute meditation. Quiet Word, come here...
Under my guidance, Yi and Sin picked spirit beast. They shall be suitable for that trick of yours. Obviously I didn't asked you to perform it there - but I prepared the necessary materials. Care to give them an upper hand for incoming fight?</span>"
You don't quite know how to feel about that. Granted, you revealed Ryota you knew the secret of Fusion. He never asked you to share it. But it's the second time he's asking you to fuse some of your friend's spirit - true to his way of focusing efforts on those who would reap the greater rewards with minimal efforts on both side.
This question holds weight. Accepting and devoting the time before the fight begin to fuse spirits for the two of them should, theorically speaking, be a better outcome than only empowering yourself through examination of the Phoenix scroll. But accepting this means Ryota will ask you this service again and again over time, expecting you to comply fully for the branch's greater good, as the diligent disciple he believes you are, thus cementing you harder and harder in your current life.
What will you do?
>Accept to fuse Yi Norm and Sin Din spirit
>Focus on examinating your own scroll
Discussion and debate expected.
