Where fate falls ~ Trust him

The World Cup was getting closer and the team had to train for it, which was difficult without a coach. "Hey guys" Valt was about to announce the next battle of Algería and Cuza when Shasa addressed the friends. "What's the matter?" "I could use a tip. Check this out." Shasa went to the arena and launched her bey, which didn't last long. "I don't understand why he breaks off so quickly" "Is it me or does he sound weird?" "How do you mean that?" "That was a Blop Bleep Bom. Before that it was a swoosh!" "So you mean it's all about momentum?" "Fine but how do I fix this?" "Oh...I don't know" "In situations like this I wish Trad was still around" "Is that the coach who just recently left the team?" "Mhm. We could always trust his advice" "Then we'll have to take matters into our own hands" "That sounds good!" "Maybe we can find another start for you?" "Maybe mine inspires you? Let it rip" Cuza did a back flip. "Thanks but I pass" "Or maybe a front flip?" "Guys I really appreciate your help but I don't want to waste your practice time" "That's it! A trainer" Kit looked at Valt. "Who? Me?!" "Nice try but no! Let's get Raul" "Yes! He would be perfect! I'll ask Kris if she's okay with that!"

With Kris' approval, the search for the new coach began. "Tatdaa!" Valt held up a drawing. "Who is that supposed to be?" "Looks like him, doesn't he?" "Yes, if you close both your eyes" "Great, guess it's colouring time in the daycare" "No, we put up posters all over town with the heading 'Have you seen this man?'" "So like a wanted poster? That smells like success..." "Wait...That's supposed to be a human?" "EVERYBODY RECOGNIZES THAT!" "Hey Kit, you saw him too, didn't you? Describe him to me." Cuza made a drawing that was significantly better than Valt's. "That's  it' "Looks like a criminal" "Not fair....Some really have every talent" With a few copies of the drawing, they headed into town where they stuck them up. But without success.

"Like he vanished" Valt and Algería had put up some more posters and were walking through the forest to get back to campus. "It's only been a few hours. Who knows, maybe someone else will call." "Hopefully. It's really necessary that we have a practice - Wow" Valt had stopped. Algería didn't understand at first, but then she realized where they were. It was the arena in the forest. Not only that, there was also an elderly man standing there. Exactly the one they were looking for. "I found you!" Valt ran towards him and Algería followed him. "We've been looking for you everywhere!" "Have you taken care of this arena?" "Algí took care of it" Algería nodded in agreement. "Tell me, what are you actually doing here?" "Believe it or not, that used to be my training ground" "Really now? Crazy!" "How is Valtryek?" Valt picked up his bey. "Better than ever" "I hate to interrupt this but we had plans Valt" "Oh yeah right! Hey Raul, can you do us a little favor?"

The three arrived at the campus and entered the training center. "Guys, look who we found!" The attention was on them. "So you were still in town!" Kit walked towards them, followed by Honcho and Cuza. "Cuza drew you really well" "You must be Rantaro. I've heard a lot about you" Raul looked around. "Interesting, I didn't expect to see Silas here." Silas said nothing.  "Can you look at the bey of our friend" They walked to Shasa and she launched her bey into the arena. "That sounds pretty special." He picked up her bey and looked at it. "So that's how it is" Raul got one of his tools out of his pocket and started to work the tip of the bey like crazy. "There you are. Everything is fine again." The tip of her bey looked like new. "Wow..." "Let's try it" Shasa and Valt started a battle and Shasa's Bey was much faster than before. "Incredible. And that's just for cleaning?" She looked at Raul. "Save that for later. Little tip: just focus on the battle" "Got it" The battle ended with a Survivor Finish for Shasa. "Oh wow! I beat Valt! Thanks Raul" "Syncing up with your bey means talking to him and listening to him. Today's lesson is that proper communication leads to victory" "Great!" "I knew that was a great idea!" "Look at my bey too!" "No, mine!" "Wait a moment!"
