Aizel's eyes went up in surprise when he looked at Daisy, who was snuggled up in his arms.
"You are worried about ? Instead of yourself?" He asked.
"Yes, the kids love you the most. If I die, I know they can depend on you. But if sothing happens to you..
"What are you even thinking about? Why are you even thinking things like that?"
"But the tourn..
"Just shut up and sleep with peacefully. No one is going to die.
"Take out these stupid thoughts of yours and dump them into the dustbin," Aizel said, hugging Daisy tightly.
A smile appeared on Daisy's face when she heard that.
"By the way, what is a dustbin?"
"Ignore it,"

The next morning..
As Aizel's eyes fluttered open, his gaze imdiately fell upon the sight of Daisy nestled against his chest.
Her body was curled up as if she were trying to find warmth and comfort in their shared sleep.
A tender smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he marveled at the gentle rise and fall of her breath, the delicate strands of hair that cascaded over her serene expression.
With utmost care, Aizel gently disentangled himself from Daisy's embrace and rose from the bed.
As he stepped outside the mansion, he found himself greeted by the familiar presence of Aquarian and the rest of them.
The small yard, which was filled with soft morning light, was a peaceful place for them to et. The air was filled with the sound of the children's laughter and the wind's soft whispers.
"So you are finally up," Aquarian said.
"Yes, let's leave."
"Aizel, rember we have to visit the wedding after 6 days," Shelly reminded him again.
"Sure, I will et you then."
A magic circle appeared beneath their feet, and both Aizel and Aquarian were teleported back to the island.
Aizel quickly took off his clothes and smoothly dove into the ocean, eager to find serenity in the underwater world.
With every stroke, he went deeper into the water, which wrapped around him like a second skin. Using his mory as a guide, he swam through the vast body of water until he reached the place where he had ditated the day before, a quiet rock bed.
The currents of the underwater world caressed his body with a soft touch, making him feel at ho. As he sat down on the rock, he closed his eyes and let the peaceful atmosphere soak into him.
As ti went by, the seconds turned into longer monts and the minutes into what seed like hours.
Aizel remained rooted in his spot, his gaze fixated upon the shimring surface of the water.
In a deep state of thought, he felt like he had rged with the water and beco one with its vastness. The rhythmic waves of the currents mirrored the way his thoughts went up and down.
As if called by an unknown force, a thin strand of water gently brushed Aizel's forehead, waking him up from his tranquil reverie.
Startled, he blinked and gradually erged from his ditative state, his senses returning to the present mont.
He relinquished his connection to the vast depths of the ocean and swam back towards the island.
As he ca up to the surface, the familiar rocks and small mountains were there to greet him.
"You can now even understand my ssage with just a small strand, Good."
"Do you think forming a water core is a good idea?" Aizel asked, even though he didn't need to form a core to use the power and abilities.
"Having more trump cards is always good.
"And it's not like you are the only special one. You will definitely face more dangerous and ruthless mages in the tournant.
"They will go to any lengths to win their battle. Many mages might have many cores or unique powers.
"So might even go to great lengths to use the Arcane Magic circuit. So displaying a three-core mage might draw so attention toward you, but it is better than dying, right?"
Aizel nodded in agreent.
"But I will rather avoid it unless it is an ergency,"
"Now take out your sword," Aquariand said.
Aizel summoned Sekki, and it quickly morphed into a double-edged sword.
anwhile, Aquarian did the sa and summoned a low-grade weapon.
"Are you sure with that sword?" Aizel asked.
A glimr of amusent danced in Aquarian's eyes as he shifted his gaze towards a towering mountain in the distance.
With a graceful movent, he raised his sword, its blade enveloped in a delicate shroud of water.
Aizel's attention was captivated as he observed the scene unfolding before him.
Aquarian brought the sword down with a swing that was both calm and driven, a seamless display of control and power.
In an instant, the mountain succumbed to the might of his strike, cleaving it in half as if it were a re illusion.
Trees, rocks, and debris tumbled in a cascade of destruction, transforming the serene landscape into a scene of chaos and upheaval.
"Forgot it; Why did I even ask that?" Aizel sighed as he saw the simple swing of his.
"Now co, let's practice,"
Aizel nodded.
In a blur of movent, Aizel vanished from sight, only to reappear with astonishing swiftness directly behind Aquarian.
With a quick and decisive strike, his sword descended upon its target, aiming for Aquarian's exposed neck.
In a swift and fluid motion, Aquarian's hand whipped out like a coiled serpent, expertly deflecting Aizel's attack with precision.
Aizel found himself montarily vulnerable, caught off guard by the speed and skill of his opponent's countermove.
With a surge of electricity coursing through his veins, Aizel swiftly infused himself with the power of lightning.
He quickly moved away from Aquarian, putting so space between himself and the danger.
How the hell did he parry just by standing in one position?" he thought.
[His hand moved like a whip, Master]
"You lose focus, you die." Aquarian's sword was dangerously close to Aizel's neck, making for a tense mont.
But in a remarkable turn of events, Aizel dissolved into flickering flas, vanishing from his original position.
The flas swiftly reassembled at a safe distance, allowing Aizel to materialize unscathed.
"See, your mind has already started to act faster now that you are more calm.
"But still you lose focus for a second here and there,"
Now how would I explain to him that I am communicating with the spirit sword," Aizel thought and let out a weak sigh.
