Sekai is currently making a deal with Beidou if they can help them get passage through Inazuma
Beidou however have another idea and asked Sekai to enter a Vision-less martial arts tournament she holds for renowned fighters.
The prize for this tournament is Masterless Vision provided by Kazuha, who hopes that the tournament winner will be able to reawaken it.
However, Sekai is not interested in the Vision, and is only looking for a way to get into Inazuma.
Hearing Beidou changes gears and decided to change the prize – if he wins the tournament, they will be able to choose between two prizes, the Masterless Vision or a ride to Inazuma on the Alcor.
The Shinning Hero finally agrees, and heads to the arena to sign up.
At the arena, Paimon suggest they scope out their initial competition before signing up. However, Sekai suggests that, they don't need to do that, this will make the fight much more interesting. And think about the reaction of his opponent if they know about who their opponent, they will come with defeatist mentality. Sekai don't want that.
…
The final match is about to start, but the challenger is a no-show, much to Beidou's irritation.
Kazuha then senses something amiss and the group checks on the box where the Vision been kept… and walla… it went missing.
Kazuha felt bad and offer to look for it since it was his responsibility. But the group laugh it off and accompanies him. Kazuha with his anemo sense reveals that he knows where the culprit goes and who the real identity behind this incident.
The culprit is Fei the Flyer, a treasure Hoarder, who is caught red handed, he reveals that he signed up for the tournament and intended to win fair and square, but after seeing Sekai defeat Ringshi, he knew he had no chance in beating him. (yeah said by someone that bring crossbow into melee fight)
What happen next was, Fei was being beaten black and blue due to him refusing to hand over the Vision. But the group let him go after get the Vision back… not before Sekai and Aether shake off the Treasure Hoarder for other valuable thing…
Kazuha reveals that he had been aware of the theft all along and hoped that Fei would have been able to resonate with the Vision, as the gods typically grant them to those who prove great strength and resilience.
Paimon asks him why he is so obsessed with the Vision, and Kazuha reveals that when the Raiden Shogun enacted the Vision Hunt Decree, his friend, another Vision bearer challenged her only to die in the ensuing duel.
Returning to the arena, the two learn from Zhuhan that Beidou was summed by Ningguang regarding the tournament, and is filled on the details by Kazuha. By default, Fei is disqualified and Sekai is crowned the champion.
Kazuha warns them that the journey to Inazuma will be treacherous, even more so once they set foot on the closed nation.
He also tells them that Alcor needs to supply themselves for the trip and that they will be notified once ready; in the meantime, he intends to travel across Liyue to see if someone can reawaken the Vision, hoping the three of them will enjoy their journeys.
Meanwhile Sekai is currently taking stroll around Liyue harbour, due to his boredom, he went up to nearby Alley-way when he felt something ominous in the air, he slowly calls out his element when suddenly a fast blur sprung out of nowhere and attempt to strikes the Shinning Hero, however he managed to block the attack.
Sekai: Damn, can I just have a nice stroll without ever been ambushed from somewhere!
???: Oh, you managed to block that…?
A tall imposing figure has glowing dark eyes and long black hair that protrude from the back of his helmet and over his shoulders.
???: It seems… Her Majesty was indeed right.
Sekai: …
???: You… Perhaps you might be the… one with the strength to surpass a god…
Sekai: Oh great… another Fatui…
Sekai: Hey bud, Didn't your Archon ever teach you that's it's not nice to sneak attack?
The Fatui doesn't say a thing, unamused, while Sekai adjusts his position preparing to retaliate of The Fatui attack him again.
However, The Fatui did not attack him again, instead he just sheathed his weapon then turned around and walk away.
Sekai: Huh? Need a toilet break or something?
That managed to make The Fatui nearly miss his step, but he managed to recollect his compose at last minute.
???: Fighting you like this has no meaning.
Sekai felt confuse… well it was him who should feel like that…
Sekai: Whatever make you happy bud.
The elemental Hero raise his waving, starts walking away from the Fatui.
Sekai: Adios…
The Fatui was so dumbfound facing Sekai reaction on him… but his mask covered his expression.
He realizes the truth behind the report by his two other Harbinger about this Elemental Hero…
???: Interesting…
