After got recovered from his previous wounds Ray started getting training from Beta about swordfights and after getting a hang of it, he got good at it but only a little training cannot stop the powers of Blackwell and his party.
Ray:(sitting on the ship's deck) It's nice to get superpowers like you have Beta. If I would have your powers I could have taken out Regan and the others on that day.
Beta:(smiling in a way reflects how much pain he is enduring inside) I have superpowers which are unparallel but in the end, I couldn't even protect everyone. My parents, relatives, Markus, Zarkin, Varg and many others died because of me.
Ray:(sad) Sorry for hurting you. After all, even with powers in your hand, you could not protect everything you want. Looks like Truth forget to make a way for us to protect everyone we want.
Beta:(annoyed) You know Ray, Truth is your creator and ruler, not ours. We were after all made by you humans.
Ray:(nervous) Why I am talking about all the topics which are sensitive for you.
Beta: Anyway, You have become quite good in swordsmanship but on your current level you can't even defeat any of my followers so, in other words, you have quite a long way to go.
Ray:(laughing) Yes, I will, My liege.
Beta:(annoyed) Stop calling me that you are not even a Trition human.
Ray:(laughing) I am sorry, My liege.
Then after a long journey on water Ray and his party finally reached their destination where the battle between the most powerful is going to take place. When they arrive, they saw Tubo-Dinor officials come to receive them.
Guide:(formally) Greetings Everyone, I am Mikhail Gudovich, I work for the ministry of Foreign affairs. This is my assistant Igor Kamensky he and his men will escort you to your designated hotel so, you can rest. I will meet you all tomorrow at 12: A: M.
Rin:(smiling) Thank you, Mr Gudovich I appreciate the arrangements you made for us.
Gudovich:(formally) Now please excuse me everyone because I have some business to attend to.
After that Gudovich leaves.
Kamensky:(formally) Please come inside the cars everyone so, we could depart towards our hotel.
Rin: Alright everyone gets inside the cars.
Beta:(pissed) Who are you ordering around?
Jacob:(nervous) My liege, Please stay calm and endure it for a while.
Beta:(angry) Ugh! Fine.
After that everyone settled themselves in all of the cars. Ray, Alpha, Donovan, Steve and Kamensky sat in the first cars because Steve and Ray couldn’t fight by themselves so, Alpha and Donovan accompanied them and also because they don’t trust Kamensky. They decide that if he tried to pull off something they will take him down right at the moment.

After driving for half an hour, they all reach the Headquarters of the Union of the nations which is an organisation that works to stop any conflict between its member countries. Only Naipoll is not part of the organisation and for the first time in history, Naipoll came to join the Union of Nations.
Kamensky:(smiling) Do you know gentlemen that Naipoll has decided to choose their representative in this meeting.
Ray:(curious) Could you tell us who might that person be Mr Kamensky?
Kamensky: Oh, He is a famous military officer in Naipoll you all might know him. His name is Major Ryan Smith.
Ray:(trying his hardest to remain calm) Oh is that so, I only hear his name but never see him in person.
Then Rin, Donovan, Frey, Martha and some other diplomats from Ying went into the headquarters because Rin is an official diplomat from Ying. They all decided to leave Selene and Bruce as reinforcements to protect Rin and others. After that, the rest of them, went to their hotel which is near Lake Mikug so they can keep an eye on the lake. Mr Kamensky stayed with them because they are guests from Ying and in Tubo-Dinor if an important person came from any other country, they assign a person from the foreign ministry to that person. He was a very entertaining person who keeps telling jokes and made the environment funny.
After the meeting ended:
Ryan:(smiling) We searched every corner of the country but couldn't find you and where you are standing beside me attending an international meeting on behalf of Ying.
Rin:(also smiling) Indeed, It was my friend's cunningness that we were able to escape your country.
Ryan:(whispers) Apart from that I have something to tell you so, come and meet me at lake Mikug, Near the hotel.
Rin: Fine, I will be there but don't cause a ruckus because I don't think that the both of us might be able to handle the aftermath of a huge incident.
Ryan:(cheerfully) Worry not Mr Nakayama, I have a present for you when you will arrive.
Then after the meeting was over Rin and the rest returned to the hotel and tell everyone about how the meeting go.
Rin: If I put it simply, Ryan called me out to meet him at lake Mikug near the hotel.
Frey:(playing Tetris) What's the worry in meeting him. Wait for a second what did you say again.
Beta throws his coffee mug at Frey. [Thankfully there was no coffee in that mug]
Beta:(angry) Will you stop playing the game and listen for a damn second what the hell are we talking about.
Frey: I am sorry My liege please forgive me.
Beta:(calm) I guess this is our best chance to kill Ryan here because he is also one of the pillars on which the Blackwell regime is running.
Frey: Sorry my liege but I did not agree with your opinion because Ryan is a crazy psychopath who has no powers at all and if he had no powers how is his death beneficial to us.
Then Ray stands up and when everyone looked at him, his face was frightening. His face shows them how badly he wants to kill Ryan.
Ray:(with his death glare look) I don't care if he has powers or not but I just want to kill him and take revenge for my brother.
After listening to Ray, they make started thinking up a plan.
After the discussion, everyone takes their positions near lake Mikug to trap Ryan and kill him. Then after a while, Ray went to lake Mikug with Rin to face Ryan and after a coup of minutes, Ryan came with Genki Hironaka who is the head of the Hironaka family. After seeing him Rin went furious like Ray because he was the person who gave orders to wipe-out out his village.
Ray:(with intense bloodlust) I only have one question for you Ryan Smith. Why did you kill my brother?
Ryan:(thinking) I kill him because He was a very nice man who could even sacrifice himself for the country. and a type of guy who only cares about what might happen to his country. Simply he was a true patriot.
Ray:(surprised) then why did you kill him if he was a good person. Even that bastard Tim Blakely and everyone said the same thing even after plotting his assassination.
After saying these words Ray burst into tears and started mourning for his brother’s death.
Ryan:(with a grin on his face) I haven't told you the whole reason why I killed your brother. I killed your brother because People like your brother who are the ideal people in this society are the best ones to kill because no matter what you offer them, they will refuse it and even on the brink of death they will never back down.
After hearing Ryan’s words Ray attacked, him with his sword but his attack was stopped by Genki’s shield and a two vs two fight broke out between both the groups.
