Volker[referee]- Its time for Semi- Final 1!! This match will be between Livon from the Aquatic Country and Hiyuki from the Crystal Country!!

Unknown Person from Crowd 1- Yeah!! Come one!! Let's go!! Its Fire vs Water!! Its Livon vs Hiyuki!!

Unknown Person from Crowd 2- I can't wait to find out on who will reach the finals!!

Narrator- Ayumi along with her mother Fumika arrives back to the stands from her treatment at the medical center.

Hinaka(to ayumi)- Heyy ayumi how is your back now??

Raiden(to ayumi)- You came early. Has the burned skin gotten any better now??

Ayumi(to hinaka and raiden)- Yeah it is much better now. And all thanks to noriko's herbal cream!! Doctors earlier told me that it would take a month to heal up but after applying noriko's herbal cream my back started healing up much rapidly. So then I came over here to watch the remainder of the matches.

Noriko(with a proud face)- Hmmm....... hmmm....... I expected nothing less from my herbal cream and my patient.

Hinaka(to ayumi)- Ohh, that's really nice to hear. I am happy for you.

Kiyomi(while scratching her face)- What.....!! Noriko's cream actually helped someone!! How is that even possible?? It never helped me. Help, all it did was increase my problems.(in her mind)

Raiden(to ayumi)- Aah, so noriko's cream is actually good for once. Here I thought it was something useless she came up with and wanted everyone to use it just for fun of it.

Noriko(with an angry face)- What.... did.... you said raiden.....?? My precious homemade herbal cream is useless!!

Raiden(with a shocked face)- Damn.... I forgot she was standing right over here!!

Ayumi(to livon)- Good luck livon for your match. I will be rooting for you.

Narrator- Livon ignores Ayumi and then started walking towards ground.

Raiden(with a furious face)- He ignored her completely.......!!

Carson(while laying hand on livon's shoulder)- All the best boy.

Livon(while removing carson's hand from his shoulder)- Leave it old man. I will be fine anyway.

Narrator- Livon then reaches the ground for his match against Hiyuki.

The distance between both of them was 5 meters.

Volker[referee]- Now let the Semi- Final 1 begin!!

Crowd(while cheering loudly)- Yeah!! Yeah!! Yeah!! Come on!!

Livon(to hiyuki)- FIRE BARREL!!

Narrator- Livon creates a barrel of fire and directs it towards Hiyuki.

Hiyuki stops the fire barrel with one hand. He infused his right arm with his shakti element 'Water' and then used it cooled off the fire barrel.

Livon(to hiyuki)- FIRE BLADE SLASHES!!

Narrator- Livon took out his fire blade and then continuously started swinging it, thus resulted in creating numerous fire slashes.

He created five of those fire slashes and directed all of them towards Hiyuki at once.

Hiyuki(to livon)- WATER SWORD SLASH!!

Narrator- Hiyuki countered it by creating one huge water slash of his own. Due to the collision between slashes, smoke was surrounded between them.

Livon(to hiyuki)- CRESCENT FIRE!!

Narrator- Being unable to see each other due to the smoke, Livon used this chance to attack Hiyuki with a high range attack. He produced a massive crescent of fire and directs it towards Hiyuki.

Hiyuki(to livon)- WATER MYTHICAL CREATURE- SCYLLA!!

Narrator- Hiyuki already sensed an attack approaching so he created the scylla to block the crescent fire.

Raiden(with a disappointed face)- None of livon's attacks are working!!

Ayumi(to raiden)- Livon is at a serious disadvantage over here. Water will always have a edge over fire.

Livon(to hiyuki)- FIRE BLADE!!

Narrator- As the smoke settled, Livon ran towards Hiyuki to attack him head on with his fire blade.

Hiyuki also reacted quickly, he took out his water sword and then with one hit, he threw the fire blade away.

Livon(to hiyuki)- Hahahahahaha!! FIREBALL!!

Carson(to raiden and ayumi)- You might be right about the disadvantage livon is facing. But this is where livon is at his best!! His ability to adapt to the given fight regardless of what kind of shakti he is facing, is his greatest strength!!

Hiyuki(with a surprised face)- Huh...??

Narrator- The moment Hiyuki threw the fire blade away, Livon jumps on Hiyuki's water sword and then from there backflips to appear at Hiyuki's back, then attacked him with the fireball.

Livon then retrieved backwards. Due to the fireball being hit at his back, Hiyuki was brought down to his knees.

Suzune(with a surprised face)- The way he backflipped!! That is some serious good athleticism!!

Volker[referee]- As hiyuki is down to the ground, the count shall begin for him now!! 1....................... 2............................

Narrator- Hiyuki while checking his back stands up on his two feet.

Livon(to hiyuki)- Hahahahaha!!

Hiyuki(to livon)- All of this for one hit.

Narrator- Livon got furious with anger after he heard what Hiyuki said.

Livon(in his mind)- He is mocking me.......!!

Unknown Girl from Crowd 1- Ohh livon is soo cool and powerful!! I am supporting him in this tournament now!!

Unknown Girl from Crowd 2- But aren't you from the Crystal Country?? Shouldn't you be supporting hiyuki right now??

Unknown Girl from Crowd 1- Yes I should but my heart wants to support livon right now!! He is too good!!

Unknown Girl from Crowd 2- Yeah you are right. He is absolutely too good. I am also supporting him!! LIVON!! LIVON!! LIVON!! LIVON!!(while cheering loudly)

Unknown Girl from Crowd 1- LIVON!! LIVON!! LIVON!! LIVON!! LIVON!!(while cheering loudly)

Livon(while shouting to the unknown girl)- Heyyy!! Just shut up already!! I don't need support from anyone!! Especially not from two bunch of miserable losers like you!!

Narrator- The two unknown girls then became quite instantly out of fear of Livon.

Meanwhile at the stands Ryder (Elite Solider for Crystal Country) returned for the first time after his match against Nova in the 1st round.

Xyla(to ryder)- Well look who it is, it's ryder!! So you finally decided to show yourself. Hehehehehe!!

Jaki(to ryder)- I thought you ran back home after your defeat against nova earlier.

Ryder(to xyla and jaki)- Removing poison from somone's body takes time, you know. Damn that nova....!! Everything happened because of him!!

Xyla(to ryder)- Well there is no point in talking about him anymore. He already lost his quarterfinal match.

Ryder(to xyla)- Finally something good to here!!

(Some other part of the stands)

Nova(while sneezing)- Someone must be talking good things about me right now.

Narrator- Now again focusing on the match between Livon and Hiyuki.

Livon(while picking up his blade)- He is looking down on me......!! I won't forgive him!! I will show him true disparity!!

Hiyuki(to livon)- Tell me why do you want to win this tournament?? What is driving you through your motives exactly??

Livon(to hiyuki)- My motives you ask, hahahahahaha!! My motive is to be at the very top!! Winning this tournament is not my endgoal but showing this entire world that they belong beneath me is what I am truly craving for!! Hahahahaha!!

Hiyuki(to livon)- I see......

Livon(to hiyuki)- LUMINARY RING OF FIRE!!

Narrator- Livon creates a massive ring of fire of 500 centimetres and directs it towards Hiyuki.

Hiyuki(to livon)- WATER MYTHICAL CREATURE- CHARYBDIS!!

Narrator- Hiyuki in turn creates a water mythical creature known as Charybdis to counter with Livon's attack.

Hiyuki's Charybdis overpowered the Luminary Ring of Fire and ended up eating it. It was then heading towards Livon to attack him.

Livon(to hiyuki)- FIRE WALL!!

Narrator- Livon then placed his hands on the ground and creates a wall made up of fire to block the Charybdis.

As Livon was busy blocking the Charybdis, Hiyuki in the meantime quickly ran towards him and appeared at his back without letting him notice.

Hiyuki(to livon)- WATER SWORD!!

Livon(while looking back)- Hahaha!! FIRE BARREL!!

Narrator- Surprisingly for Hiyuki, Livon already anticipated his attack and launched his fire barrel attack towards him.

All of this happened so fast that Hiyuki didn't got any time to defend himself from the fire barrel. It ended up hurting him at his chest and he got pushed back several meters away.

While he was being pushed back one of his footstep accidentally activated the 'Fire Mines' which Livon had planted earlier.

Raiden(with a excited face)- This might be it!! Livon is going to the finals!!

Livon(to hiyuki)- Now burn until nothing remains of you anymore!!

Hiyuki(to livon)- FLOOD!!

Livon(with a stunned face)- What.....??

Narrator- Livon was expecting Hiyuki to jump in the air or formulate any order strategy in order to avoid the burning mines. But instead Hiyuki stood there in the ground as if nothing ever happened. He infused his legs with water and then placed his hands on the ground to summon a flood to cool off the fire mines.

Livon(with a frustrated face)- Damn him.... damn him.......!! FIRE BLADE!!

Narrator- Livon then recklessly ran towards Hiyuki to attack him with his fire blade.

Hiyuki blocked the fire blade with his own water sword and then after a few hits he ended up throwing the fire blade away.

Livon was then rendered without without his own sword. He stood there in front of Hiyuki thinking what to do next. His entire face was covered with anger and desperation at the same time. But then suddenly Hiyuki went ahead to speak something in Livon's ears.

Hiyuki(while whispering in his ears)- Do you want to become the man you hate the most....??

Livon(with a confused face)- Huh...??

Hiyuki(while whispering in his ears)- Is this what your parents expected when they gave there life in order to save you??

Livon(with a stunned face)- How.. does... he....??

Hiyuki(while whispering in his ears)- You have made alot of people sad with your words and action. The only person who won't be forgiven here today is you!!

Narrator- Livon got frozen after what he had just heard. He then accepted his defeat and stood before Hiyuki helplessly.

Hiyuki(to livon)- WATER SWORD!!

Narrator- Hiyuki used his water sword to slash at Livon's chest twice and then after that Livon ultimately fell down to the ground.

Volker[referee]- 1........................ 2........................ 3.............................. 4............................. 5.............

Raiden(with a confused face)- What really happened over there?? What happened to livon??

Ayumi(to raiden)- Hiyuki first said something in livon's ears and then suddenly livon lost his will to fight!!

Volker[referee]- 7...........

Livon(before losing consciousness)- Yeah you are right. I did crossed many lines today.... I made alot of people sad..... it is truly all my fault. I couldn't even realize the value of people who cared for me. I don't deserve them.......... they are all too good and kind for a person like me...(while shedding few tears at the very end)

Volker[referee]- 8............ 9......................... and 10. THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH IS HIYUKI!! HE ADVANCES TO THE FINALS OF THE 5TH WORLD TOURNAMENT!!
