"Oh man, what is that"
"It looks like a were-beast"
"It's all shadowy and stuff what kind of were-beast is that supposed to be"
"I don't know but it looks just like one"
"That's a phantom were-beast"
"A phantom…. D-do you mean a ghost"
"Hmm that's surprising, Kody are you afraid of ghosts"
"N-no its just that I have this thing about not being able to hit something I can't touch, which to me makes it more terrifying"
"I understand that it would be scarier but don't you think you're too scared"
"Huh what do you mean"
"You're taking many steps back as you say all this are you sure you're not just scared of ghosts regardless of that reasoning"
"I.."
"You don't have to worry too much, phantoms are different from ghosts"
"H-how I don't see any difference of the two"
"Just go and fight it, you'll understand quickly how different they are"
"I'm good actually I think I'll let everyone else have a crack at it and if they need me I'll help them from way back here"
"Scaredy cat"
"Shut it Michelle"
"I'm not the one shaking in his boots about ghost or phantoms right now, now am I"
"Then you go deal with it, let's see how easy it is to deal with once you realize you can't even touch it"
"Haa this idiot"
"Like I just said you'll be fine, no need to worry about it you all can defeat it" said Leila
"She's right about that so go for it"
"Are you two not going to fight"
"No, it'll be a waste of experience if we take action so just fight without concern"
"Okay"
"Let's just do it, not like we haven't fought weird or strong opponents as of late"
"You're right"
"I completely agree with you"
"Kody?"
"Ugh do I have to, can't I just sit this one out, you four got it"
They just stared at him like he was a idiot or something for a while before he gave up
"Fine, fine, let's just get this over with but I will remind you it's a ghost"
"Phantom"
"Whatever same different"
"Just get ready, it's coming towards us now"
"Yes"
"Oh, by the way, it's a beastial king so it's a tier 3 mana beast but lucky for you all it's only a mid-tier one"
"Wait what that would have been great to know before deciding to fight it"
"Hmm would it though"
"Yes maybe"
"It wouldn't because you can never know such things all the time so always have more then one contingency plan"
"We understand"
"I'll tell you one thing, light"
"Light?"
"Yeah, how you interpret it will be up to you, now you all better get ready it's taking action now" said Odell
"Light huh"
"You know what to do guys, so let's do it again"
"Ugh yes"
"Yes, as ready as we'll ever be I guess"
They went off to fight against the phantom beast while the two, Odell and Leila, talked while observing the battle.
"I can see why you decided to train them, they do have potential and crazy enough brave to actually have you train them"
"Well, they haven't formally accepted it outside of being in here just yet, but they'll come around to it soon"
"Hmm but isn't light to obvious for them to get"
"Yeah, but you know that light is just one factor to beat a phantom"
"Yeah, but do you think they'll get it"
"Let's make a bet then"
"Oh, what does this bet implies"
"How long it'll take for them to beat it"
"Oh, I thought you would say how long will it take for them to realize that light isn't the only way to defeat it"
"No, that would make it too easy, wouldn't it"
"You're right"
"So, what will we be betting for"
"Well, I can do anything you ask no questions ask for one century worth of time"
"Interesting and can it be absolutely anything"
"Yes, anything as I said no questions asked"
"Hmm okay, then I will give you that place you always ask me for"
"What you mean…"
"Yes"
"For real"
"Yes, or would you rather I take it back"
"No, no that's great"
"So is it a deal"
"Yes, you have a deal little sister"
"Well, then nice betting with you and good luck Dell after all you know you need it the most"
"Ugh don't remind me how bad I am with bets"
"Yeah, what five and seven hundred and forty-two right"
"Six and Seven hundred and forty-two actually"
"Oh, I forgot my bad"
"Don't worry I'll be seven wins soon enough"
"Yeah sure"
After making their bets, they continue to watch as Paul and his group battle against the phantom beastial king mana beasts. They were trying to hit it physically but to no avail, then resulted to using the elements that they were most proficient in. Paul was good with earth, Kai in wind, Michelle in water, Kat in fire and surprisingly Kody has light.
"Well, that is still unexpected even if I knew since I first met them but him having the light element is really surprising"
"That really is actually, especially with how he seems to be but there's not really wrong with him other than having a weird personality but it's not a bad one"
"Yeah"
"It looks like I might win this before long"
"You know we didn't say how long will give them right, so we better decide now"
"Hmm you're right then I'll give them at least an hour to beat it" said Leila
"I'll give them about forty-five minutes" responded Odell
"You have faith they they'll finish soon huh"
"Of course, after all I picked them so of course I believe in them"
"Believing is one thing be knowing your opponent is even more so and we both know for them it'll be hard for them to finish so early… An hour was the least amount of time I give them, but it could be longer are you sure you want to waste so much on this"
"I'm sure and they will exceed expectations I know that will"
"Alright then let's see then, hopefully they do exceed it"
