*DBZ Budokai Tenkaichi 3 Edge of Spirit OST plays*

A few months pass with another day rising for Shido and the others in Secret Time Chamber, and everything is going well, the Spirits and Shido and Mana themselves have grown in their ability to fight with Akio teaching them what he knows about martial arts. The present day arrives and Shido is waking up to see everyone already gone but his overall appearance is different. He has grown in muscle mass and is significantly more toned than usual due to Akio giving him the right food and protein with training on top of that. As he gets up and gets something to eat to start the day, Shido walks up to the rear of the Time Chamber to see all of the girls sparring with each other and some of them experimenting with their Spirit Powers as in combat, even Mana could be seen manipulating electricity with her Realizer.

Kotori could be seen mediating around her flames, deeply focusing her Spirit Power as she gets used to her form in her Astral Dress alongside Miku and Yoshino who is surrounded by ice and blue aura and Miku lightly humming a song finding out more about her abilities. Natsumi is surrounded in her own energy studying Haniel's true power. Kaguya and Yuzuru are soaring towards Origami and Mayuri and they are all in their Astral Dresses as they spar in the air with aerial combat. Tohka and Kurumi could be seen training with Super Saiyan God Akio but suppressed as they send blows towards him with Sandalphon and Zafkiel's Handles. Both of their strikes have become more sharp and more coordinated as Akio has taught them all how to fight like more experienced warriors. They both back up as they take a breather together.

Akio: Remember, one is most vulnerable after an attack. Make sure that when you strike that it massively counts. Keep in mind how your opponent's behavior plays out as you go into battle.

Tohka and Kurumi both recover their stamina and they get ready again.

Tohka: Yes!

She launches towards Akio and swings Sandalphon with more potent coordinated strikes with her blade as the purple energy radiates from the blade. Tohka sends a huge purple slash towards Akio and it alerts everyone. The purple slash explodes leaving smoke as the light dims. Akio could be seen with his hand out as he stops the slash. Kurumi fires red bullets towards him and he sees them coming. Akio closes his eyes and he dodges most of them but one hits him, freezing him in time temporarily.

Kurumi dashes behind him at light speed.

Kurumi: I've got you!

She kicks him in the face and time resumes. Tohka is panting and the others including Shido were watching the match. Akio feels the impact and smirks as he teleports in front of them and Kurumi catches her breath alongside Tohka.

Akio: Impressive. You guys are learning fast! Your performance keeps improving every single time we spar!

Tohka: *Pant* *Pant* Thank you..

Kurumi: However, we're still nowhere near you Akio-san. After all of that, you're still standing as if nothing happened.

Akio: Well, to be fair, I'm in my god-like state right now so it is significantly easier for me to take more hits.

Tohka: Umu. That makes sense!

Kotori: Speaking of that, for a while now, you've been training us while in that form.

Kaguya: Yeah, I've noticed that as well.

Yuzuru: Question. Is there a reason behind this?

Akio: Actually, yes, there is. You see, this form that I'm in right now possesses an immense amount of power. Since this form is so strong, it radiates fresh God Ki for anyone to assume and leaves it's presence behind for as long as I'm in it.
