Chapter 5

After a long day of training, the weary team stepped out into the cool evening air, ready to head home. Hikaru, his expression serious, turned to his friends. "Hey, I've got some news," he said.

Suisei raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What is it?"

"We're going to face another team soon," Hikaru announced. "They're called the Storm Blades. It should be a good challenge for us."

Hyuga's eyes lit up. "When do we battle them?"

"In two weeks," Hikaru replied. "I've been watching everyone's training, and I've decided on the bladers who will represent us."

Suisei felt a mix of anticipation and nerves. "Who made the cut?"

Hikaru took a breath, his focus unwavering. "I'm picking myself, Hyuga, Nova, you, and Riku."

"Riku?" Hyuga raised an eyebrow, a hint of skepticism in his voice. "You think he'll be reliable?"

"His unpredictability could work to our advantage," Hikaru explained. "If we figure out how to play off each other's strengths, we'll have a good shot."

Suisei's heart raced at the thought of competing. "I'm in! I want to prove what we can do as a team."

"Same here!" Hyuga added, excitement creeping back into his voice. "We need to train hard and come up with solid strategies."

"Exactly," Hikaru nodded. "We have two weeks, and if we all focus, I know we can make it work."

As they discussed their training plans, Suisei felt a surge of determination. This was her chance not just to showcase her skills but to grow alongside her friends.

"Let's make the most of our practice," she suggested, adrenaline starting to kick in.

"Definitely," Hikaru agreed. "We're going to give it our all."

That night, Suisei couldn't shake thoughts of the upcoming battle. As she lay in bed, her mind buzzed with curiosity about the Storm Blades. Unable to sleep, she grabbed her phone and began researching the team.

Her eyes widened as she scrolled through forums and videos. The Storm Blades had a formidable reputation, and their captain, Kai, was known for his aggressive attack style. Suisei noted that most of the Storm Blades specialized in either attack or defense, suggesting a well-rounded strategy that could adapt to different opponents. The thought of facing such a diverse team sent a thrill through her.

Hours passed as she analyzed videos of their battles, taking notes on their techniques. Kai's precision and power stood out, and it was clear the team coordinated well. If they wanted to win, she knew they'd have to sharpen their teamwork and strategies.

With a final glance at her notes, she resolved to bring this information to Hikaru and Hyuga the next day. As she finally drifted off to sleep, her dreams were filled with spinning beys and the thrill of competition.

The next morning, Suisei woke with renewed purpose. After a quick breakfast, she grabbed her notes and headed to school, her mind racing with ideas for their upcoming battle.

During lunch, she spotted Hikaru and Hyuga at their usual table and slid into her seat. "Hey, I've been doing some research on the Storm Blades," she said, excitement bubbling within her.

Hikaru raised an eyebrow. "What did you find out?"

Suisei pulled out her notes. "Their captain, Kai, is really strong. He uses an attack bey that packs a punch, and most of their team specializes in attack or defense. They have a solid strategy."
