Still hoping that Adam shows up. A good battle between him and Blake would be interesting, seeing as Master and Apprentice aren't so friendly with eachother anymore.

I'm also still hoping for a climactic battle between Juane and Adam, sort of with a "weakest vs. strongest" setting.

As for their battle, I'm thinking of Juane being at first outcompeted by the much faster fighting style of Adam, yet, slowly, he begins to notice Adam's dependance on his speed and his independence on defense, and begins to slowly even the playing field. Near the end, Adam releases his mysterious power, Moonslice, and Juane is slashed across the chest, yet is able to heal the wound using his aura, on which Adam comments that "He has a lot of (aura.)." After noticing that Adam is tired, Juane deduces that Adam uses incredible amounts of energy from his aura every time he uses the attack.

Stating that they should finish the battle, Juane seems to literally pour his aura into his last attack, just as Adam prepares to use Moonslice again. The two attack, and Juane is slashed along his midriff, yet still manages to get a slash into Adam's side. Seconds after being hit, Juane grabs hold of Adam's wrist, the second after using Moonslice having left Adam vulnerable, and there seems to be a strange feeling in Adam, as if he is being drained of energy. After Juane collapses from his injuries, Adam attempts to use Moonslice again, only for it to fail.

Juane reveals that he had purposely let Adam injure him so he could get close enough, stating that the wrist grab was for Juane to drain Adam's aura through skin-to-skin contact. When Adam questions how it was possible for someone as unversatile with aura-usage as Juane (Who mainly used it for healing and attacks.) managed to perform such a feat only masters could do. Juane then tells Adam that when he stated that Juane had a lot of aura, he was reminded of the time Pyrrha said the same thing, and then used her aura to unlock his, in a sense causing him to drain her of some of her aura. Juane then manages to stand, quoting on how blind Adam is to what will truly complete his goals, choosing to kill instead of taking the longer path of finding a better solution, saying "What are you really fighting for?", and, with his sword, injures Adam, causing both to pass-out from blood loss.

Juane later awakens in a hospital, surrounded by his team. He asks what happened to Adam, only for them to tell him that Adam was taken by the White Fang.

Meanwhile, while recovering, Adam flashes back to Juane's last words to him, and thus the seed of doubt, planted so quickly, begins to grow, making Adam question what he really is doing.
