"Hey don't worry..." said Takehaya, "Doctors said that she was close to dying but thankfully she'll live."

But despite knowing this information, Naoya was still worried for Ella. He then looked at his foot and was devastated to see his robotic foot and as he looked at it, he felt as if he still had much to learn and improve on.

Naoya asked, "What's next?"

Takehaya sighed and shrugging his shoulder as he answered, "Honestly, I haven't got a clue... Since I've been out, I'm not sure what the current status of the islands is at."

They heard the doors opening behind and they saw Mary and Luna as they came to check in on Naoya, along with Yuno and Charao which made Takehaya worried.

He asked, "What are they doing here?"

Luna said, "Its okay, they know... And there is something that you'll need to know."

After couple of minutes of explaining.

"They're what?" Asked Takehaya.

Luna explained, "They're descendants of the two spirit warriors that gifted you their powers."

As it turned out that the two students that were Mary's friends, Yuno and Charao were connected to the Wind and Rain Gods with Yuno being associated with the Wind God, Fujin while Charao being associated with the Rain God, Tenjin and knowing this information shocked but also made him question how he didn't know about this at all.

Takehaya grabbed his chair and sat down with a still shocked expression. Mary walked to Takehaya and stood beside her as she placed her arms around him.

In his original monotone voice he asked Luna, "And you want me to do what?"

Luna answered, "Father put you in charge of training Yuno and Charao as he believes that they can be beneficial in protecting the islands alongside us."

Takehaya scratched his head and said, "Yeah... About this, I'm not sure I'm the best qualified for this, especially since I myself have just received my new abilities!"

Charao walked forward and pleaded with Takehaya saying, "Please?! I know we didn't start off on the right foot but I want to make it up to you for what you did for my family, if it weren't for you, my younger sister wouldn't have the bright future that she has now. So I plead with you, PLEASE TRAIN US!" Charao then knelt down and bowed.

Yuno then said, "I haven't forgotten my debt to you after what you did for me back there and I hate OWEING someone so like Charao, minus the pathetic pleading, please help us become as powerful as you."

Takehaya was unsure on what he should do as he didn't want to take on the role as their mentor but he didn't want to decline them, especially since they were being nice about. Takehaya took some time to properly think about his decision while Luna, Mary and Naoya were curious to see what his answer would be.

He sighed and answered, "Very well."

Charao lifted his head up, his eyes sparkling with excitement followed by Yuno whose hard shell face was broken upon hearing Takehaya's response. But he did say, "But know that I can only teach you the basics!"

"Thats totally fine!" Screamed Charao with excitement, "If it means I get to be taught by the incredible Takehaya then I'm all for it!"

"That goes for me." Said Yuno who was also happy.

Yu and Jin, along with two other figures watched as they saw Takehaya being hugged by Yuno and Charao and even Mary.

One of the figures say, "I trust that he will not disappoint."

Yu answered, "He may have only received his abilities but just like your descendants, he will learn how to use them."

The other figure said, "I put my faith into your son, know that Yu."

"I do." Said Yu. He and Jin bid the two figures farewell as they walked away.
