The academy was crowded, everyone constantly barged inside through the entrance, Kenichi and the others wondered what was going on
Nagisa Akua: "I wonder what's going on over there?"
Samaru Ransu: "Don't you remember? Today is the day the seven representatives of the East Beyblade Academy are decided, everyone just wants to come up and advance."
Shinkai Shio: "What idiots... they won't ever make it to be the top seven..."
Kenichi Sora: "All right, I can't wait for this! I have to make sure I stay in first place."
Shinkai Shio: "-sighes- No need to worry about that, no-one can even touch our spots, except maybe Aian and Taikuki..."
Aian Meisu and Taikuki Nami: "HEY!"
Samaru Ransu: "Alright, let's go in and show the others what we got!"
The gang walk in and walk into the arena, seeing many students Beyblading
Taikuki Nami: "Look at all those kids, practicing..."
Aian Meisu: "No kidding, but most of their skills seem below amateur, and I know one person in particular."
Aian turns around and looks at Antonio while he was in a middle of a battle
Antonio Hoshi: "Hexastar attack!"
He faced a generic student who wore the same typical uniform with a shirt and grey jacket that a lot wore, he had short black hair
Generic Student: "Hah, you're so weak! Finish him off!"
Antonio Hoshi: "Ah damn it!"
Hexastar tries attacking the opponents beyblade but is smashed back due to it's recoil, which causes it to be knocked out
Antonio Hoshi: "Ahhh Hexastar!!!
Ah man, I always lose so easily here!"
Generic Student: "Huh...that's because you're so weak!"
Antonio Hoshi: "Why... you... LITTLE!!!"
Antonio runs up to him and tries to punch him, but Kenichi holds him back
Kenichi Sora: "Hey hey, calm down, alright?"
Antonio Hoshi(Aggravated): "Ngh, alright then..."
Principal (East): "Alright everyone, I don't want any slacking off, I need to see your skills and determination at your finest...
-to himself- even though I know who will come out in the end..."
Meanwhile, Kenichi and co join the battle and try and earn as much experience points and as big of a win record as possible, all defeat their opponents one by one
Kenichi Sora: "SHAMAN ATTACK!!!"
Nagisa Akua: "Aroceane, go!"
Samaru Ransu: "Veomela, charge through them ALL!!!"
Aian Meisu: "Golemoth, bust through their defenses!!!"
Taikuki Nami: "Go Simurgh, wipe them all out!"
Sutorimu Hono: "Kitsune!!! Destroy them all!!!"
Shinkai Shio: "Samebi, show NO MERCY!"
All Seven: "HEEEEYAAAAA!!!!"
All relentlessly defeat all their opponents Beyblades till the majority of Bladers in the academy are beaten to the ground, they pant tire fully as a few stand
Samaru Ransu: "Alright, now it's time for the stronger ones."
Nagisa Akua: "You said it!"
Then the principal set the alarm, indicating the qualifiers ended.
Principal (East) "Times up! Let's check the results!"
Annoucer (Akira Senshi): "Okay! Let's see the top ten winners, in number ten, we have... Dexter Yoshi!!! Number nine is... Peggy Feza!!!"
Peggy Feza: "Awww darn it I didn't make the cut?!"
Announcer (Akira Senshi): "Number eight, is Lester Mizushima!!! Unlucky you!"
Lester Mizushima: "-rolls his eyes- ugh... DAMN IT!"
Announcer (Akira Senshi): "Now for the seven that earned a place!!!
Number seven is... AIAN MEISU!
Number six is... Taikuki Nami!
Number five is... Sutorimu Hono!!!
Number fourth and third ties with Samaru Ransu and Shinkai Shio!!!
Number two is our lovely Nagisa!!!
And number one is, KENICHI SORA!!!"
Kenichi Sora: "All right guys we did it!!! Now we can go as a team!"
Antonio looks down at his status watch
Antonio Hoshi: "WHAT, WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAME NINE HUNDRED AND NINTY THREE OUT OF AROUND A THOUSAND MEMBERS?!"
Kenichi Sora: "Nevermind Antonio. There is always next time."
Antonio Hoshi: "But I was really looking foward to going today!"
Samaru Ransu: "Don't worry, you'll make it next time when you work harder."
Antonio Hoshi: "I bet they just got my results wrong and I'm suppose to be in a higher rank like...first!"
Nagisa Akua: "Sorry that you couldn't come with us."
Antonio Hoshi: "Yeah...I guess...
(To himself)...I'll come one way or another..."
Principal (East): "Well done my seven students. I am very proud to say that you will now represent the East Academy. I hope you do your best and make sure you work hard, stay focused and develop."
Kenichi Sora: "I can't believe I made it...with all my determination and hope, I actually made it here."
Nagisa Akua: "This is going to be huge. I'm so nervous!"
Samaru Ransu: "Don't be...stay confident because we should have faith in our skills."
Taikuki Nami: "I can't wait to kick some butt!"
Aian Meisu: "I cannot wait to pulverise everyone with my skills. I have tweaked with my Beyblade. With my knowledge and techniques, I can learn to predict any opponents moves and find their weaknesses."
Principal (East): "Well would you look at that, there is our limo."
Kenichi Sora: "A limo?!"
Aian Meisu: "Of course he has a limo! He is rich and he would like to take us in style!"
Kenichi Sora: "I guess..."
Shinkai Shio: "Come on! We have to get ready and pack up before it gets late!"
Later on, Kenichi and co's parents came to say goodbye to their child.
Mrs Sora: "Are you sure you will be safe?"
Kenichi Sora: "I'll be fine! You don't need to worry about me."
Mrs Sora: "Well...be safe. Good luck and goodbye!"
Mr Sora: "Show them what you got, champ! I wish the best of luck!"
Kenichi Sora: "Goodbye mother and father! I love you!"
Mr and Mrs Sora: "We love you too!"
They all waved goodbye to their parents and headed off to their limo. Antonio was in disguise and snook on to the trunk of the limo waiting to get out at the right destination in hopes to come with the East Academy.
Antonio Hoshi: "He he he..."
Principal (East): "Well, I hope to see those advanced skills into action because I will not accept slackers."
Aian Meisu then sat up straight with arms to the side and said
Aian Meisu: "YES SIR!!!"
Taikuki Nami: "Got it!"
Samaru Ransu: "Hah, I can't wait to face these guys!"
Principal (East): "Alright, once we know our competition we shall pick who fights who, except Kenichi, as he is mandatory because he is the strongest, understood?"
Kenichi Sora: "I guess, hey Shinkai, you excited for this?"
Shinkai Shio: "-looks up- Huh?... Yeah whatever..."
Nagisa Akua: "Yeah, but how long is the journey?"
Principal (East): "Don't worry, they're only a few hours apart from each other."
Kenichi Sora: "A few hours? What are we suppose to do until then?!"
Aian Meisu: "I don't know, read a book or something."
Kenichi Sora: "We don't have books here!"
Aian Meisu: "Okay, then I guess you should eat some food from the Limos minibar."
Samaru Ransu: "Not too much though, we may feel car sick after a while, I mean it is a long ride and we do need to be in top condition when we battle."
Sutorimu Hono: "Ugh, I'm already bored of waiting, this is just going to delay the suspense!"
Nagisa Akua: "Be patient, we'll get there soon..."
Principal (East): "I should tell you about this tournament...
Each school is battling another, there's academy South, West and North, we are going against Team South first, the battle pairings are decided this way, it's East vs South now, but whoever wins advances to whoever wins in the West city and Norths, if we lose twice, we're out!"
Samaru Ransu: "Wow, that's a lot of pressure for us huh?"
Shinkai Shio: "Not just to us but to the others."
After a while, they arrive in the South city, they get out the car and as the Principal of East Academy walked, they all follow him, which leads to a hotel.
Kenichi Sora: "This is our hotel? It's too fancy for us don't you think?"
Aian Meisu: "I've always wanted to live in a state of a higher class citizen!"
Nagisa Akua: "We need to check in to see which one is our room."
Whilst the team was checking in, Antonio snook out of the trunk and crawled inside Aian's suitcase.
Antonio Hoshi: "I will give them such a surprise and then once I explain to them, they will be more than happy to welcome me. Oh I can't wait to participate!"
Aian Meisu: "Let's get all this stuff inside."
Kenichi Sora: "Right."
They walk to the back of the limo and open the trunk, they find Antonio there to their shock
Antonio Hoshi: "Ugh... Finally someone opened the door, it was getting too stuffy here!"
Principal (East): "HEY! What are you doing here?! You don't belong here!"
Antonio Hoshi: "Relax old man, I'm just here to join the tourney, as you can't beat them without me!"
Principal(East): "Old man?! How dare you! I shall send you home this instant!"
Antonio Hoshi: "WHAT?! No way! I'm not going and that's final!"
Aian Meisu: "Hey! You haven't got a choice, you do as HE says!"
Taikuki Nami: "Can we stop waiting for the little brat, I'm tired of standing here and I want to get going! Let's go!"
Antonio Hoshi: "Little brat?! I'll show you little brat you OLD BAG!!!"
Taikuki gritted her teeth in anger and punched him in the face
Antonio Hoshi: "OW! THAT HURTED!"
Samaru Ransu: "Hey hey guys calm down, let's just go to a hotel and just calm down for a bit."
Kenichi Sora: "He's right, we can't waste time anyway."
Principal (East): "First, I want Hoshi to stay away! He is a bad influence to this team!"
Antonio Hoshi: "What?! No I'm not! Without me, they would be lost unless they had my words of wisdom!"
Aian Meisu: "Yeah...and pigs can fly..."
Antonio Hoshi: "Hey! Are you saying I'm not smart?!"
Aian Meisu: "Wow...I can't believe you actually figured that out!"
Antonio Hoshi: "Yeah! Well...well at least I'm not a globe!"
Aian Meisu: "HEY!!! IS THAT A FAT JOKE?!!!"
Antonio Hoshi: "Good wasn't it?!"
Principal (East): "Alright, that's enough Antonio. Now leave because you weren't invited!"
Antonio Hoshi: "PLEASE DON'T TAKE ME AWAY, PLEASE!!!"
Principal (East): "Hmm...I suppose the shofer won't be here for a few hours as the journey was long. Alright! You can stay..."
Antonio Hoshi: "YES...!!!"
Principal (East): "Until the shofer arrives and picks you up."
Antonio Hoshi: "But then I won't get to see nor meet the a South Team and I won't be able to watch the match!"
Principal (East): "My decision...is FINAL!"
Antonio Hoshi: "That blows! Do you hear me?!!!"
Principal (East): "You bore me..."
Aian Meisu: "Yeah! Stop bothering him, Antonio!"
Antonio Hoshi: "You are always ruining my fun, Aian!"
Antonio sulked and stomped his way into their hotel room waiting for the shofer to arrive. In the mean time, he watched the skills of the seven students and looked amazed.
He jumped out from behind the couch wanting to battle.
Kenichi Sora: "You're doing great, Sutorimu! Your attacks never end!"
Sutorimu Hono: "I know. I have been practicing but your skills are unpredictable."
Kenichi Sora: "Lets decide this once and for all."
Both Shaman and Kitsune were about to release their Mecha Functions until Antonio launched his Beyblade at Shaman and Kitsune.
Antonio Hoshi: "GO SHOOT!!!"
Hexastar hits both Shaman and Kitsune and then bounces away, barely spinning.
Kenichi Sora: "Hey! What do you think you're doing?!"
Antonio Hoshi: "I want to participate in this match, so let me play!"
Principal (East): "It is forbidden to distract them in a training session like this, no matter, as you'll be leaving soon.
For now, we should take a look at the South Academy."
Aian Meisu: "Alright, cool! I guess I can take a look.
-to himself- and present Golemoth's abilities..."
They all head by bus to go to the South Academy, outside, the building is darker grey than their East Academy, it was much wider and but wasn't as elevated. The gardens were large and open, the outside was fenced with metal bars, but automatically opened when the group arrived
Principal (East): "Alright, remember to be polite when you enter, do not veer off from our high standards, including your manners."
Samaru Ransu: "Okay, I'm fine with that."
Kenichi Sora: "I still can't believe there's a school for beyblading."
They all enter the front entrance, the inside was clean and white, it was more traditional than their academy, there was training equipment everywhere, lights in the ceiling were round circles for bulbs, the place had balconies inside, and a lot of stadiums and plant pots, in front of them stood a tall man, who looked in his 40's, he had a neatly combed back hair the colour of chestnut, he wore a grey suit and black pants, he had a white shirt and a neatly worn black bow tie, he raised out his hand
Principal (South): "-grinning- Greetings... I am the South Principal, it's very nice to meet you, I hope you can take a good look at our facilities and members, feel free to battle them if you please."
Aian Meisu: "Sounds good, let's go."
Samaru Ransu: "I know I'm definitely up for it."
Kenichi Sora: "Me three, let's go!"
All three run towards the stadium and challenge three random South academy students to battles, all give them a glaring look
Aian Meisu: "Hey, why do they look so miserable?"
Samaru Ransu: "I believe they are more prepared than anything."
South student 1, who had a neatly combed hair, was well dressed, and clean shoes point at him and was rude to Samaru
South Student 1: "Yeah, well done genius, how'd you figure that out? None of us here have time to waste with you..."
Antonio walked by and said to him
Antonio Hoshi: "You better watch it, because your probably a Level 3 student at best!"
South Student 1: "Yeah, so what if I am?"
Antonio bursted out laughing, pointing his fingers and wriggling on the floor.
South Student 1: "-aggitated- What's so funny?!"
Antonio Hoshi: "The one you were being mean to is a Level 10 Beyblader."
South Student 1: "I don't care, it depends on how good the school is in general right?! And he is probably no good."
Samaru Ransu: "Then let me show you, let's battle."
South Student 1: "Fine then, sounds like fun, I will humiliate you so badly."
He pulls out a generic beyblade, a slim, light blue beyblade which seemed to be an attack type, it used a wide flat core and it had three large blades on it's Metal Weapon
Samaru Ransu and South Student 1: "3... 2... 1... Go Shoot!"
Their Beyblades circle each other and the blue beyblade rushes towards Veomela and gives it a series of attacks
Samaru Ransu: "Is this all you can do, just constantly attack? My Veomela will make sure those attacks are wasted, because with my Heavy Metal base, I have a high velocity and high resistance."
South Student 1: "No genius, I'm simply shaving your endurance, but seeing as I do it this way, I lead you to run outwards of the stadium, and if I get a clean shot, I can knock you out, my wide flat base gives me the ability to do constant and powerful attacks, GO!"
His blue beyblade chaotically attacks Veomela and circles around it in a small radius and smash it
Samaru Ransu: "Huh? What is he doing?"
South Student 1: "-to himself- Excellent, with my strategy of trapping him as I circle around and smash him back, I cannot lose to him, he will be easily damaged by my trap.
Samaru Ransu: "Is that all then!"
South Student 1: "-surprised- What?"
Veomela deflects him back and blocks his attacks, allowing the blue beyblade to recoil back constantly
Samaru Ransu: "You still have a lot to learn kid, Veomela finish him off!"
South Student 1: "What?! No!!!"
As the blue beyblade tries to desperately try to attack back, Veomela steadily forces it back and smashes it out, sending it crashing into the wall
He catches his Veomela
Samaru Ransu: "Remember not to underestimate me again."
South Student 1 kneels down in defeat
South Student 1(In Grief): "No!!! NO!!!"
Female South Student: "That was pathetic, even for a level 3 member here!"
South Student 1: "I am so sorry!"
The female student glares down at him and crosses her arms, she has medium blue hair, her hair had a large tied part which curved round the top of her head, it was medium length, she wore a school uniform which was white and black shirt, she also wore long shoes which were white and black
Female South Student: "You should be, now go and practice!"
South Student 1: "Yes mam!"
Female South Student: "Ah ah, DON'T call me mam!"
The south student one and the other two lead immediately to train, Kenichi, Samaru and Aian looks at her in shock
Aian Meisu: "Wh-who are you?"
Female South Student: "I am Maria Peru, I am a member here, Level 10 to be exact and Rank #2 for good measures."
Kenichi Sora: "Why did you have to be so rude to that guy?"
Maria Peru: "He was a loser, and he indeed lost, which is unacceptable to half-wits like you three!"
Kenichi Sora: "Huh?"
Aian Meisu(Enraged): "Half-wits?! You better take that back, you're suppose to be polite to us, we are the guests here!"
Maria Peru: "But to prove my point, let me challenge you and show how tenuous you even touch that Level 10 title!"
Aian Meisu: "Fine then, let's go!"
Maria Peru and Aian Meisu: "3... 2... 1... Go Shoot!"
Maria Peru: "Encanereid Sprite attack!"
Samaru Ransu: "Encanereid?"
Encanereid swiftly runs towards it and grinds Gilemoth from below
Aian Meisu: "I see, she's trying to destabilise me, and trying to wear my endurance down... Golemoth, smash her beyblade from above!"
Golemoth shakes Encanereid off and smashes it's wheel from above, Golemoth stably moves around and deflects her beyblade
Aian Meisu: "According to my calculations, Encanereid is no match for Golemoth's thick iron wall, you also take heavy damage from me, so all your bragging was just talk! Go!"
Golemoth digs a huge chunk of the stadium and throws it towards Encanereid, smashing it and Golemoth deflects back, Maria calmly watches Golemoth's attacks
Maria Peru: "No offense, but you bore me!"
She closed her eyes and deliberately yawned at him
Aian Meisu: "What are you trying to imply?!"
Maria Peru: "I am so tired of winning so easily, especially to BRATTY LITTLE KIDS!"
Aian Meisu: "Grrr, why you!"
Maria Peru: "You're so inefficient, you're wasting too much of your spin attacking, deflecting me and throwing bits of stadium on me, when it does NOTHING!"
Aian Meisu(worried): "W-what do you mean, nothing? Your bluffing right?"
Maria Peru: "Truth hurts doesn't it, but the answer is NO! My Encanereid is a powerful endurance type, your attacks don't do anything to the round wheel of mine, which takes little effect, but with your weak attacks, it's pretty much nothing, my core is a Super Wide Sharp, it spins long and it can resist and keep balance of my beyblade, now what are you going to do about that now hmm? I have no idea why boys are so stupid and reckless sometimes..."
Aian Meisu: "Damn! What am I suppose to do? There's only one option left, Mecha Function!"
Mecha Function - Gravel Burst
Maria Peru: "Mecha Function!"
Mecha Function - Aqua Shifter
The chunks of rocks smashing into the stadiums caused by Golemoth are neutralised by the spiral waves and are ashes away only to smash into Golemoth, the water wipes it out, causing it to be wiped out
Maria Peru: "I win! All right! That was too easy!"
Aian Meisu: "What! I lost?! No!!! NOOO!!!!!"
