[We cut to Y/n's POV. He is in an empty void again but not before opening his eyes and waking up back at the throne room of Dracule's Trial. He looks around and sees Yonaka in its spiritual form sitting on the throne.]
Y/n: Hey, Yonaka...
𝐘𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐚: What troubles you master?
Y/n: Please, you can just call me Y/n... And well, I'm just worried for Luz... and the others... I feel like I wasn't strong enough...
𝐘𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐚: Although the future isn't set in stone, one cannot simply wish for their actions to be different.
Y/n: I guess you have a point there.
[It then cuts to them sitting next to each other on the staircase that led up to the throne.]
Y/n: So wait... Was Dracule a witch? Or a human?
𝐘𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐚: He was a very powerful witch.
Y/n: So if I'm thinking this correctly... Dracule was able to use magic and your spiritual sword thingy majig simultaneously?
𝐘𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐚: That is correct. You on the other hand, my spiritual energy as a sword flows within you to compensate for the lack of magic.
Y/n: Or in other words. Since I have no magic, the spiritual energy that cultivates in my body?
𝐘𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐚: [Nods.]
Y/n: I see... So are there other sword spirits like you?
𝐘𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐚: There are a vast number of swords like me that are scattered across the demon realm.
Y/n: So how about dual-wielding? Does that work?
𝐘𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐚: I'm afraid not, my master and I have met someone who has tried to have two sword spirits but the powers conflicted with one another. It soon left the man on the verge of insanity and utterly succumbed to death.
Y/n: Woah... That went dark quickly. So I guess one is enough.
𝐘𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐚: Indeed.
Y/n: But can one sword spirit be tied to two or more swords? For example, there's this one character I admire in an anime and he uses three swords. Can a single sword spirit possess all those three swords?
𝐘𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐚: That is certainly an interesting thought, but I have not yet met anyone who possesses such a sword. Now having more than one blade may seem... cool in your words, but mastery is what's really important.
Y/n: So I'll just have to work harder then to get stronger! No shortcuts! Just a single sword will do!
𝐘𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐚: [Chuckles.] You are much like my old master. Both in heart and determination.
Y/n: Thanks.
𝐘𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐤𝐚: It was my pleasure. He told me that words of encouragement will forever echo within a person.
Y/n: Well all I can say is... That he is very wise.
[They share a moment in Y/n's mindscape as it then cuts to the next morning. Amity, Gus, Hunter, Vee, and Willow are preparing to leave.]
Amity: All right. Luz is at her mom's vet clinic putting tiny little bandages on "hedgehogs" while Y/n is at his Kendo classes. So today, we're going into town to solve this code.
