In the training room that Tchalla has provided, Steve felt embarrassed after witnessing Dios power firsthand!
He was sparring against Dio after acquiring his new shield, but it didnt seem to matter!
Stop! Lets take a break for a minute! Steve said as he gasped for air from exhaustion.
What? Weve only practiced for a little while! Dio said as he seemed fine while Steve was covered in sweat.
Dio took the shield from Steve and tried to use it himself, but Dio found it too light for his taste.
Your habits havent changed. Thats why you are unable to improve yourself! Dio said with a frown on his face.
Steve kept saying that the shield was way too different from his usual shield, but he never complained to Shuri as he heard Shuris opinion about the shields improvement.
The shield wasnt round like his old one, it was created more oval-shaped to increase its offensive capabilities, but because of that, Steve could no longer hide behind his shield anymore!
Shuri created this shield in hopes that Steve would fight aggressively in the future.
Steve has agreed to such an idea in the making process, but now he kept complaining that the shield wasnt the same as it was used to.
Because of that, Steve kept saying that he didnt feel like the Captain America he used to. He felt like he wasnt the same person at all!
Sometimes I felt jealous of the others Avenger, you know. Especially for people like Thor, who didnt need to think much of anything. Whatever he did, people would always know that it was him! Steve said while contemplating his action.
Dont lump me with that guy! Compared to him, I have to work hard to get to where I am today! Dio said casually.
He then threw the shield back to Steve, who looked surprised at what Dio said just now, but Dio just shook his head. He didnt want to explain nor tell a story of his life to Steve now.
Maybe Steve thought that Dio had it good, but in reality, Dio was the most hardworking guy in the group!
Ever since he got the Hamon Energy, he has been training his Hamon Technique until it basically became second nature to him!
People might think that Dio was slacking off, but in reality, he was practising all day long!
The power of Hamon Energy was fully integrated into his body now, strengthening him physically and mentally.
Even if, by any chance, he lost [the world], Dio knew that he would be on top again in no time as long as he still had his Hamon Energy!
So, Dio and Steve continued their training, and after two rounds, they were interrupted.
Three days from now, Tchallas formal coronation ceremony will be held in the palace. We hoped that you could attend the ceremony then. Shuri said casually as she entered the training ground.
Of course, we will be there! Do we have something that we need to know by then? Maybe like a dress code or a gift that we need to bring, perhaps? Steve asked as he agreed to come.
There would be people attending to your care. They will tell you of what you need to do there. Shuri said calmly.
She didnt answer Steves question as she knew her brother didnt need any gift.
But after hearing everything Shuri had to say, Dio wasnt certain of the ceremony itself!
Are you sure the ceremony would be inside the Palace?
Yeah, I am sure! Whats wrong? Shuri asked nonchalantly.
Although she felt guilty, having to lie like this, it was for the best!
Its probably nothing. Its just that it doesnt seem to be the same ceremony that I was thinking of, Dio said, acting like he was just thinking of something else.
Shuri sighed as she knew that Dio had caught on to her lies, In truth, there is a tradition of the royal challenge before the coronation ceremony, but it was for Wakandans. I hope you understand our circumstances.
Shuris lie probably would pass hadnt Dio knew about Wakanda more than any other people inside this room!
But of course, Dio wouldnt burst Shuris bubble by thinking that no outsiders would know about her countries.
Oh, I dont know about that, but sure, I understand that it was a sacred procedure, Dio said with a smile on his face.
Shuri just nodded her head as she was relieved that Dio would ask her more about the issues. But she suddenly remembered her brothers goal to get on Dios good side, and thus she couldnt contain her inquisition nature.
So, what do you think of our technologies? Shuri asked curiously.
It is very advanced. I believe that Wakanda should be the most powerful country in the world! Dio said praisingly.
Are you interested in forming an alliance with us? I heard that you have an unusual alien technology; we can exchange technologies, you know! Shuri said as she couldnt contain her curiosity anymore.
Only
Dio was a little bit surprised by Shuris inquiries as he didnt quite understand whether it was Shuris own curiosity or Tchallas idea.
However, he found the idea was quite ideal. He found that Wakandas technology was quite inventive and efficient.
But still, there were some technologies that he couldnt expose to anyone, like the Dark Elves stealth tech, implosion grenade, and also the existence of the Power Gem.
It was not because Dio couldnt trust Tchalla and Shuri, but because the impact of those techs was far too powerful that Dio himself wasnt confident if he was up against those who could use these techs efficiently!
