A/N:I know the friendship between Valt and Aiga suddenly becomes deepens in a short moment and it sounds like a rush but that's how things work. Unexpected friendships are the best! But of course, you will know that real friendship is real when it puts on a hard test~

☀️

SUN ARC

Free words had been haunting him down and it doesn't want to disappear

"Arghh"

Valt let out a groan and take his soft white pillow to cover his face

Thankfully he's fully alone in his bedroom why you ask? Well since the BC Sol's dorms have been modified, he move to another room where his alone sleeping right now unlike those days he slept together with Honcho and Kit

That should be nice right? Like no one will see him in a weak pathetic state. Because it would be rude to wake them up in the middle of the night because a stupid nightmare woke him up, what is he? A kid? He's already big enough to deal with those easy things, he won't need to bother other people like he always does. He needs to be strong so he can handle a simple problem like this

Because he's always like that. Making small things a big deal and he doesn't know what's wrong with him thinking that way

Valt, take a slow deep breath to calm himself because here he is again in a pathetic state. Thinking the worse of Free when he knows that Free intention is good and didn't mean that way. What kind of friend he is when he thinks of worse in his other friend? Free is just worrying and concerned about the situation and yet he almost outburst because of a simple true sentence he should already accept and yet he can't-

Suddenly Valt can feel tranquil energy flowing in his body and he looks over to his bey glowing faintly in blue that emits sparks of electricity-looking energy that traveled through his hand giving him a warm and comforting feeling that gives Valt a refuel smile and make him relax

Ah Valkyrie, she is a good partner and always right on his side whenever he feels sad or in trouble. And he didn't know what did he do to deserve such a loving caring bey spirit like her.

"Thank you" Valt whispered but the gratefulness can be heard very loud

The bluenette then stands up and walks over to the window to raise the blue curtain then open the window sill and a cold breeze of night enter and blows over him making his ocean blue hair flow in response. He looks over the window that should be the Akaba sibling's room.

The window is locked and no sign of a certain maroon boy sneaking when it's completely curfew. Great

But speaking of Aiga. He suddenly remember the late-night talks they had yesterday. And he never expects him to look so vulnerable at night. He knows  Aiga isn't the type of person to suddenly open up and yet he did. At that time he could certainly see his reflection on the younger maroon boy. The feeling of overwhelming emotion took over you and then you never know what you feeling and that sucks

But one thing stood up... Aiga trust him to tell his true feelings in a short moment of the period - and he feel so grateful that he acquired his trust. And of course, in returning the favor he comforts and helps him cause he deserves it after a short glimpse of a breakdown

He wanted to help him. But how other than guiding him....?

Then suddenly an idea pops out of his mind

Recently his friends start to joke him around that Aiga is his student since they tend to train together and he is the one who scouted him in BC Sol so that gave them more reason to tease him.

But why not make it real? His father asks for guidance and what's better than teaching him?

Especially when he caught a glimpse of darkness on his heart with chains that lock over it. He wanted to break that chain so he could be freely happy

And that's what he wants to do. Free start to notice - which is creepy and awesome since Free is a good observer of people around him making him more amazing. Free didn't have any intention to be meany - he just wants to tell that Aiga can be corrupted shortly if the darkness planted on his heart grows.

But instead of stopping Aiga from blading, why not support and believe him for the better?

Valt grin at the idea although fades away in the short moment when he realized he doesn't know how to be a bey trainer and adds the fact he can be busy being a Champion when traveling around the world.

Looks like this is now the start of his friend's warning of him but that doesn't matter. There is always a solution to hard problems!

Valt looks encourage now and forget all those tricky thoughts he had.

Welp better ask Gramps Raul for advice tomorrow morning

🔸☀️🔸

"Hey Gramps Raul do you have a moment"

The said old man turns around to see a familiar-looking bluenette boy who is standing outside his Van - he is standing nervously for an unknown reason

"Of course Valt my boy come inside"

Raul smile as he opens his Van's door and starts to walk in with Valt following him from behind

"So my boy what brings you here?" Raul state to the point seeing how Valt fidgeting his hands on his vest while avoiding his gaze and hen looking in a different direction which is quite rare to the well-known positive loud bright boy who seems anxious right now

"Hey what's the problem?" The old man starts the conversation right ahead because the scene is quite worrisome.

"Well, uhhmm gramps Raul can ask you a question? "

"Sure, go ahead I'm listening"

"How to be good a BeyTrainer?"

Raul blink multiple times while Valt look away with crept of blush on his face

"Pffttt Hahaha Oh my that's a relief! I thought something bad happen" Raul sighed in relief

"Oops sorry about that hehehe,  I'm just nervous to ask this kind of weird question" Valt rubs his head sheepishly

Raul closes his eyes and leans on the chair to make him comfortable "Now I know where this conversation is coming... You feel insecure I am right?"

Crack

Valt's eyes widen and don't have a slight idea of how Gramps Raul figured it out but neither less looks down and nods cuz he's already been busted "It's just...I'm afraid I'm even doing a great job handling things and yet I choose this path because I believe I can so I should not regret a single thing but......."

"You're afraid to mess things up?" Raul finished making Valt flinch but nod anyway with his eyes shone in visible sadness

Crack

The old man smiled "You know no person bis on perfect so it's ok to make mistakes and that's why you have your family and friends right on your side"

At the mention of family and friends - Valt tightens up his grip on his vest and bites his lip. Raul narrow his eyes at the odd action

"Uhmm your right about that but i-its j-just I h-hate being such a b-burden and b-bother to o-other p-people when I can do it myself" Valt shuttered without him realizing

"Is that the real reason? Or you just afraid of being laughed and people start to underestimate your capabilities" Raul said in a serious tone

CRACK

Valt's eyes widen in surprise when Gramps Raul gets right but neither less he nods with those innocent hazel brown eyes that always dim in bright light sand and slowly fade away

"Uhmm G-gramps R-Raul can we f-focus on the main topic about how to be a g-good B-beyTrainer because this is n-nonsense" Valt whisper almost audible

But Raul shakes his head "No Valt, how will you become a good BeyTrainer or a Teacher when you're not ok"

CRACK!!!

Raul's words left Valt speechless for a moment

"I-is t-that n-needed?"

"Of course so tell me... What do you think a Good BeyTrainer or a Teacher should possess?" Raul asks makes Valt confuse and start to think

"Err a good BeyTrainer or a Teacher should have a background field on a certain subject and that's why I'm here to ask you some pointers and advice because I'm well aware that I'm such an idiot and immature to handle things like this unlike Shu, Xander, Free, and the others could do," the bluenette said that make Raul smile sadly

"Your right about the first part but you didn't notice the most important things of being a good BeyTrainer or a Teacher and add your last statement that is certainly very wrong" Raul pointed out with Valt who look clueless

"First thing first, please don't think of yourself as an Idiot because you are just childish and innocent but hey look at you now! You've grown a lot! just don't forget that naivety and kindness are different"

Valt's heart almost stop a beat at his statement

"Secondly, I believe you're becoming mature as time passes by, how could I say that? Take the Red Eye Incident for an example-

Valt's breath become hitched for a moment

-Against all the odds people think about you? Managing to forgive a traitor without holding any grudge? Did you see all those obstacles you experienced? You make it through right? You become strong like nothing before. Just like what people said 'You can't create a Rainbow without a Rain'" then Raul smiles genuine making Valt feel fluttered and all the negative things circling his head start to dissipate

"Valt just remember you need to accept your flaws and take care of yourself too"

Another sentence hit Valt harder but this time it was good and start to make himself realize

All this time... It's not the people around him or the Red Eye accident that has been hurting and hunting him... Because he is the one who always tortures himself by thinking too much by believing in worse ... Wow such an idiot and add the fact that he didn't even take care of himself by always staying up late at night because of stupid thinking that doesn't even make any sense... He is so selfish for not taking care of himself.

So then he better solves this problem so everything will be ok!

And all the negative thoughts that fogged over his head had vanished like it was never been there before.

Raul starts to smile fondly when he notices that Valt is smiling gently and the mood has become lighter.

"But before we start over on being a good BeyTrainer... Is it Aiga the one you wanna help?" He asks

"Of course! I mean... It's ok right?" Valt laugh sheepishly

Raul chuckles a bit "Oh come on! Think positive! I truly believe your fit into this especially since Aiga had grown fond of you when he can look grumpy at other people. Oh my, I suddenly remember Taiga in that boy. He is always seen as serious but deep inside he truly cares about those people he loves and trust. Yes, he can be wary for some time but hey! Taiga trusted his son in your custody and in that you'll already score my boy.

See? It's just like Aiga although too much but nevermind well my point is that you managed Aiga to break some of his shells and the type of people like Aiga is not easy to get along but you manage which makes you a kind person and not everyone has a talent like that."

Here it goes again. Raul's long sentence makes him blush again.

Then Raul proceeds to tell him some advice which Valt listens to very carefully.

And at that moment. He discovered that not only the students can learn but a Teacher can too to grow and guide the students more.

🔸☀️🔸

"Hello my name is Kit Lopez nice to meet you Aiga Akaba"

Turquoise eyes blink in confusion when he meets a pair of lime eyes

Gosh is he that famous?

But instead of saying it out loud. He just puts on a fake smile like he always does and shows some little respect when he's don't want to offend other people.

"Same goes for you, So wanna battle?" Aiga grins and shows his bey that shines in response

Kit looks ready for the challenge "Of course!" He then shows his bey too and they position in their battle

Back with our resident Wonder Boy, He was walking around the hallway when he notice the sounds of bey battle and he takes a peek to see it's Kit and Aiga Battling with the maroon boy who has a great chance of winning alongside Naru who keeps cheering with them.

At the stadium, Achilles hit Air Knight with a strong force that make the said blue yellow bey sent flying into the air and burst

"Aww man, you sure great" Kit complimented while picking up his bey

Thanks, you too" Aiga tell feedback while grabbing Achilles from the bey stadium

Kit stands up and dusts himself to prepare when he sees a pair of curious brown eyes watching them from afar

"Oh! Hey Aniki! What's up!" Kit happily waved over the bluenette that make Aiga stop doing and turn back to see him smiling brightly with his hands on his hips

"Woah Are guys having fun?" then Valt came closer and he received three pairs of smile

Kit lit up "Of course! But sadly I need to go now hehehe sorry buddy" Kit then rubs his head sheepishly making Aiga furrow his eyebrows

Valt looks curious "Really? Where?" He asks while Kit fixes his hat

"Well, today's match I realized that I need to train my body so I can increase Stamina and make my body strengthen. I may have known a lot about beyblade but that wasn't still enough so I need to work hard. And recently I've watched how Aiga easily swung from branch to branch this morning which make him have already built up some muscles through the experience-

(Aiga almost wants to choke in that part of the sentence. Ok, he's a freaking stalker!)

- So I've decided to train harder starting today" Kit finished his long dialogue which make them awe.

"Wow, a very perspective of you Kit!" Valt clapped and the Akaba siblings nod in agreement

Kit blush slightly "Hehehe thanks so yeah when I get stronger we will battle again Aiga then I will challenge you Aniki for an official championship battle" Kit declare

Aiga blink. Did he just say Official championship battle?

"So yeah that's all and bye-bye ~ Aiga, Naru, Aniki~! Till next time" then Kit ran off and disappear

After a short moment, Aiga decide to ask

"Hey Valt, What does he mean... Official championship battle?" He asks curiously

The bluenette is supposed to answer until the younger aqua girl finally talk

"An official championship battle. Is when a high-rank blader challenge Valt Aoi in a battle for the title of being the Champion or No. 1 blader in the world from him." Naru explain with a bit of smile on his space when he saw Aiga's funny expression

"Ehhh!?!" Aiga almost shouts - take note almost - then proceed to look over Valt who just sweatdrops at his action

Yup, Aiga doesn't still know that all this time the bluenette is the champion is beyblade.

'Woah I can't believe it!' Aiga screamed in his head at the discovery. Dammit. He should ask Naru all the information he needs to know or else he'll look clueless

But wow. The thought of Valt Aoi being a Champion never crossed his mind

Maybe he doesn't look like one? But he once battles him but unlike Free, he easily burst him.

Oh, come on, Aiga! Don't be judgemental! The guy is so nice to you

And in that, the maroon boy mentally slaps himself and then tries to regain composure

"Woah why didn't you tell me?" Aiga aka while pouting

"You never ask" Both Naru and Valt respond at the same time that make Aiga pout bigger

"At least informed me Hmmph" Aiga respond and crossed his arms

"... Hey I tried to do that but you said you don't wanna any spoilers" Naru fights back makes Aiga blink and then slap his face

Valt, watch all the scenes unfold while giggling. Gosh, he just remember his siblings back in the day. Ah, sweet memories.

"Arghh fine... But hey Valt" Aiga already accepts his defeat and then calls the bluenette's attention "Let's battle"

Valt grins "Sure!"

Then they position themselves with Naru in the middle as the referee

"Ready Set! 3! 2! 1!" Naru start as both competitor do their launch style which is just the same

"Let it Rip!" Then they both release their Beys leaving a trail of blue and red in a clockwise right direction

Valkyrie is spinning so fast while Achilles is wobbling a bit but still managed to keep up

"Rush Shoot!"

Then Valkyrie increased its speed then create a strong barrage attack that hit Achilles in every direction creating a strong impact and making it sent flying and burst

"Oh come on!" Aiga pout more

"Burst Finish, Valt Aoi win" Naru announce. Yup she already knows how to be a referee

Aiga then pick up his bey "One more time"

Valt nodded but then an idea pop up in his mind. He then gathers up the courage before holding his hand "Sure we'll continue but let's fix your launch first"

The maroon boy looks taken aback and confused "What's wrong with my launch?"

Then Naru speak up "I think he meant on how your launch makes Achilles wobble up" she explained

Aiga furrow his eyebrow "My launching is fine besides I want to focus on making a cool special move to unlock Achilles's hidden power to make it cooler"

Naru sighs longingly "But you have to know it's part of the fundamentals. You can't make cool special moves if you don't know the basics"

Ah, smart girl

Valt nod in agreement "Yup a good launch will make the Bey's performance good in spinning and speed plus every launch differ depending on the bladers"

Oh my gosh, it's so weird to hear him saying that. If his friends are with him, they will ask him what he eat this morning

Aiga hummed acknowledgment then placed his hand on his chin "Ok... But how?" He asks then look over his launcher and bey

"Well I have an idea" Valt then dismiss all the doubt on his mind and he finally spoke making the Akaba sibling look over him curiously

"Of course To make a strong and good launch; training is the best option" He smiles and silently prayed inside that if it's sound a good advice

Aiga frowned "I already know that besides I already work out this morning with Trad and told us to run around then I go to the forest to train a little bit," he said with a boring tone

(Ok, he almost forget how athletic Aiga is)

'Hmmm, what to do?' Valt ask himself and he almost wants to panic when suddenly he remembers his conversation with Gramps Raul earlier

"It's ok if you're having a hard time teaching. Because a good teacher must have patience in teaching and know how to engage his or her students - and that's why it's important to know your student better - to overcome their weaknesses and improve their strengths

Then he looks over at Aiga and then smiles cuz he knows what to do. Ah, Gramps Raul's advice is the best.

"Well that's nice to hear," He says smiling surprisingly at the Akaba siblings "You already build some strengths that are cool but you need to use that strength of yours properly" Valt explains when he sees how interested Aiga is, he continued

"Back in your home, you always use an axe to cut logs right?" He asks and Aiga nods quickly

"Think the launcher is just like holding your axe, you hold it tightly with good stance then released it with great force so you would cut the log off in half then, of course, your focussing too so you make sure you're cutting the log in the middle" Valt pointed out and he can't believe he come up with that! It might sound weird to hear but he thinks it's good enough, Wow thankfully he knows some of Aiga's background

Aiga blinks in some realization "Ohhhh...But what I'm doing wrong that and my launch go wobble?"

Valt already expected that question "Well you tend to underestimate things and not be careful, for example, you fell from the vines last time remember? You think that since you always swing in vines you can always swing smoothly but underestimate nature and it will snap back so my point is that focus clearly" He said and hoping that doesn't sound rude and didn't offend him

But he was surprised when Aiga narrow his eyes and go into the stadium. The same goes for Naru too, he didn't expect that his brother will listen to other people!

He then prepares in a good stance and starts to look at the stadium intensely like he's observing it then he put his bey on his launcher, then takes a deep breath while gripping his launcher tightly and pulling the strings with all his might - overall his launching almost still look like Valt but with the difference in the end

The bey launched and land smoothly and create a good trajectory while spinning so fast and didn't wobble up

Aiga then smirks cockily and looks at his companion then put his hands on his hips "How do you like that?"

Both Valt and Naru clap.

"That was so cool!" Naru cheered and Valt grinned brightly "Agree"

Ah, looks like this is the start of his journey on how to be a good teacher

🔸☀️🔸

"Hey sweetie how it's going?"

"Hey Mom Hey Dad" Naru's face brighten up when he sees her parents on the tablet

It's been a week since they stay here in BC Sol and it was so fun! They see and experience new things

"It's good! The people here are nice and oh! I meet this girl named Honey Guten and she become my friend" Naru chirp in happiness

Kana laugh softly at her daughter's enthusiasm.

"What about Aiga?" Taiga asks straight to the point with a hard expression

Naru blinked and grin "He is doing well. He still hasn't done anything trouble. And did you know he is so cheerful and carefree around Valt? I've never seen him like that act in other people other than us. Well I can't blame him, Valt's is nice and a good companion" she commented

Taiga blinked in surprise at the improvement in a short moment and Kana smiled proudly at her children

Looks like bringing them to BC Sol is a good idea and his glad he make a good decision.

🔸☀️🔸

"Hello, boys and girls! Welcome to El Astro and today we will have a super Beyblade title Match!" The announcer: Hanami cheerfully brought up his mic that make the whole people cheer very loudly

"Today's challenger is Kurt Baratier, rank 6 in the world!" Hanami introduces the underworld emperor who smirks in response.

Aiga and Naru who are watching too in the cheering crowd look very excited at this battle. Well, this is the first time they went to this stadium to watch.

The maroon boy narrows his eyes and looks over the opponent's appearance. The guy is tall with spiky aquamarine hair with yellow streaks in the center, red eyes, purple earrings, a purple tattoo on their right arm, and wearing a black suit and green pauldron strips on his body with orange clothing below.

Bruh. Is this guy a gangster? No offense but he looks like a drug dealer or something

"Against the Champion Valt Aoi!" Hanami then next announces our resident blue boy who grins so bright that could rival the sun and the people around go wild.

Unknown to others. This is not just a simple super championship battle, this is a good time to promote the power of Turbo Beys for the next evolution.

"Your gonna lose that belt" Kurt comment

"Let's see. I'm just glad that we could battle again" Valt humbly reply back

And the first battle starts with Kurt earning a 1 point

"Hah? Maybe Turbo Beys are not that great" Kurt said disappointedly

Valt on the other hand looked over his bey which shone in response and he smiles

"2nd Battle" The referee calls out putting his hands in the air and both bladers position themselves

"3!...2!...1!...LET IT RIP!!!"

Kurt then uses his famous Skyscraper Boost launching style in which he will jump twice and then launch his bey in the air.

On the other hand, since Valt has now a better grip on his launch, he performs a good strong lunch creating a small wind with a few sparks

Both Boom Khalzar and Winning Valkyrie land at the stadium with great speed and they start to each other

"Boom Khalzar! Now!" Kurt held his hand in the air with a lightning effect on his back, now finally decided to call forth his power showing his avatar of luminous glowing aquamarine bird. Then the boy hit the wall harder to make the forge disc shift twice and align, showing off its claws came from the layer ready to attack Valkyrie head on

"Bolt Attack!" His bey glow in reddish form and now go straight in collision

"Here comes the thunder!" Hanami comment or more like a pun

"Valkyrie!" Now Valt's power build-up and the Blue Knight holding out a sword while riding in the navy blue horse appear

"Winning Slash!" Valkyrie's metal blades glow in blue

Before it hits the opponent's bey - Aiga's turquoise eyes shone in blue to show admiration.

Back to the battle, Valkyrie finally hit Khalzar dealing with more damage that makes the opponent's bey burst and Kurt is so surprised

"Burst Finish, Winning Valkyrie gained two points, the winner is Valt Aoi" the referee announce, and the crowd cheer

"Congratulation! Valt Aoi manages to depend on his title! Give him a round of applause!" Hanami comments and the whole people stadium clap while Valt is happily holding his championship belt

"That was such an amazing battle!" Aiga said excitedly and grin with sparkles around him that make Naru giggle softly

Then he grabbed Achilles in his pocket and smile "I wanna have an exciting battle like that" he said that make the red bey shine in response

Back to our resident Wonderboy, he looks up from the midst of the crowd to look over a certain maroon boy

Valt then has a flashback of what Gramps Raul told him

"A good teacher must value real-world learning - meaning you must show your students something that they would cherish in the future"

Yep, this is what he wants to show Aiga - that's why he offers them to join watching in El Astro Stadium, he wants to show him how fun a Beyblade could be

And of course, to give him a highlight of what a championship battle looks like so when the time comes, Aiga will challenge him to achieve his dream. And he bet that they would have an epic battle

Valt can't wait that time will come

🔸☀️🔸

A/N: As you can see I change some events cuz I'm using my Fanon Timeline

Overthinking at night happens because that is the time when you are vulnerable please do not hate Valt's negative thoughts. After all, it's just what he thinks and not who is he.

Recently I've been observing Valt's personality so I wouldn't make him too OOC and I notice that he might not be the smartest person but he knows how to help other people in his way.
