Ryu and his gang sit at a restaurant. He has decided… he will become a Shaman. Ryu asks Yoh to become his master and train him to become a Shaman. Anna tells him ok, so long as he passes the test - cooking. Ryu passes. He can start work immediately. Anna gives Ryu his training schedule. It appears to be a list of household chores. He is satisfied with the list, believing that taking care of the master is a significant part of the training. Ryu observes Yoh training, lifting weights and running. He bids Yoh a good run.
Ren and his sister exchange words about Pailong. He will carry out their revenge. She answers that they are finished. They walk into their apartment to find Gei Yin, a girl with blue hair, another member of the Tao family. Gei Yin has come to make sure that Ren becomes Shaman King at any cost. She has decided that she will be the one to dispose of Asakura Yoh for her. Tao Jun will have nothing of it and asks her to leave. Gei Yin refuses. Tao Jun calls forth Pailong and Gin Yin calls Yugai, informing Tao Jun that Tao En-sama’s commands are absolute. Yugai is able to perceive all of Pailong’s moves and soon has a knife to his throat. Ren threatens Gei Yin that it is enough. He doesn’t care what she does, but if she hurts his sister, he won’t forgive her. He asks her to leave.
Ryu confronts Yoh about his laziness. He has heard that there will be a bunch of Shamans like Ren gathering, and if Yoh doesn’t train harder, he fears he will not be able to beat them. Suddenly, Gei Yin appears and has Yugai attack Yoh. Yugai is able to wrap a wire around Yoh’s neck. Ryu steps in and strikes Yugai. It has no effect on Yugai other than to release the wire around Yoh’s neck. Yoh calls Amidamaru and Ryu throws him his bokuto. The two fight Yugai with his wire whip thing. Suddenly, Yugai uses illusions to replicate himself several times (think Hidetada’s Silhouettes in Samurai Deeper Kyo) to surround Yoh. He calms down to see through the illusion and strike the real Yugai.
Yugai isn’t finished, however, and soon has a smoke screen up. The smoke apparently is made up of a paralysis substance because Yoh’s body starts going numb. She starts throwing knives at him, which he is barely able to dodge. Manta and Ryu lie by the side of the road unable to move. Luckily, Amidamaru isn’t effected by the numbness and blocks all the knife attacks. They then perform the Senpu Buttagiri, and hit as she floats in the air. She explodes. Gei Yin stares in amazement and then walks away defeated.
