Adjusting to life in Inazuma was no easy task for (Y/N), considering that he had spent over 1500 years in Liyue since he first reincarnated in Teyvat. Currently, outside in the courtyard of Tenshukaku stood two figures.

(Y/N) and Ei stared back at each other, holding wooden training swords

(Y/N) and Ei stared back at each other, holding wooden training swords.

Ei: Are you ready?

(Y/N): Yes

Ei: Very well. Then let us begin.

(Y/N) and Ei take their stances and prepare their weapons, waiting to see who will make the first move.

That was when Ei charged towards (Y/N) as the two clashed their swords together, sparks of lightning crackling off them.

Ei's rapid strikes force (Y/N) to go on the defensive, waiting for an opening. The moment comes when Ei starts to charge a more powerful attack while (Y/N) tries to strike but is quickly blocked by Ei, who is forced to change strategies. As the rapid strikes continue with sparks flying everywhere, Ei manages to disarm (Y/N), who concedes defeat.

Ei: Looks like I win again.

Ei looks at (Y/N) smugly.

(Y/N): Yeah, Yeah, only cause I let you win.

(Y/N) pouts, causing Ei to giggle.

Ei: I find it hard to believe that you let me win 69 times

(Y/N): Niceee

Ritsu: [Niceee]

Tiamat: Niceee

(Y/N): In my defense, it's been centuries since I last held a sword. None of the Adepti in Liyue were proficient with swords, so I've had to adapt to other weapons.

Makoto, who was watching the duel, walks over to the pair.

Makoto: Well done, the both of you. Keep working hard.

With stars in his eyes, (Y/N) gives a confident smile and points toward Ei, causing her to blush.

(Y/N): Mark my words. One day I'll finally defeat you!

Ei: R-right...

Makoto notices her sister blushing and stumbling over her words. Makoto smugly looks toward Ei, who is covering her face out of embarrassment.

Over the years since (Y/N) arrived in Inazuma, Ei quickly developed strong feelings for (Y/N), which Makoto picked up on and has been trying to get them together since then.

Ei: A-anyway, I better get going. As much as I would love to stay with you, my duties as a kagemusha call, So I'll be off.

(Y/N): You want me to come with you?

Ei: Hmm, Well, I don't think I would require your assistance on this matter, but thanks for the offer.

(Y/N): Well, okay, If you're sure you can handle it.
