"Do you want to use your Cloud Tiger against my Uriah?" Rocky was teasing Flint.

"That won't be necessary. We are all going to the Dragon Birth Festival tomorrow. I just came over to tell you this, in case you forgot," Flint said.

"Damn! I almost forgot. Thank you." Rocky just remembered that Mia had mentioned it two weeks ago.

Flint gave Rocky a nod and then turned to leave with his Cloud Tiger. He stopped suddenly and turned to Rocky. "I'm looking forward to seeing your performance with Uriah tomorrow." After that, he left.

"What are you expecting to see anyway? Is he in love with me or something? That would be too much." Rocky mused to himself and started practicing on the rock by the pool.

The following morning, he made it back to his room earlier, but Flint was nowhere to be seen. It was not until he had changed his clothes that Flint came back, sweating profusely.

"Where did you go at this hour of the day? Still so early," Rocky asked.

"I went for a warm-up with my Cloud Tiger," Flint answered.

"It looks like you are looking forward to the match at the Dragon Birth Festival," Rocky commented.

"Of course. I want to prove myself." Flint didn't say anything else.

"You are already very strong now. What's there to prove?" Rocky had heard on his way back that Flint was already at the fourth grade of Mortal Stage, which meant that Bear was the only match for him among the thirty royal spirit manipulators besides Rocky himself. They had been training in dragon field for just two months and Flint had managed to achieve the fourth grade of Mortal Stage. His progress had impressed them all.
