While waiting for days for the start of the tournament, Cupuaçu had a moment when he felt a strange feeling on his stomach, at this moment he hugged his iron sword and began to remember his master Tucumã and how she used to say during the hard training days:
"Deep concentration manifests the strength that are inside you, even if you are nervous, the more you naturally concentrate the strength, the stronger it will become, understand? remember: feeling, will and concentrated mind" ~Tucumã
After remembering his teacher and his village Cupuaçu developed inside himself a will feeling, a desire to not die and not loose at any cost, to survive and fight for the weakest and for the dead people.
He knew that the challenges would be much greater than anything he had ever seen in his life, while he was training in an open field, doing the daily training that his master Tucumã teached him, he remembered how he learned to overcome himself and become better every day, the master made him become someone much better, a strong and adult capybara that the old formerly innocent little boy never imagined becoming.
While walking around the region, Cupuaçu heard a rumor that there was another capybara in the tournament, and that he was using an incredibly hard glove, but he still hadn't found any other capybara, so he asked himself, is that rumor true? Is Cupuaçu not the only capybara in the tournament event? and where could this other capybara have come from? Does Cupuaçu already know who he is?
So Cupuaçu decides that in the rounds he doesn't fight he needs to watch the battles to find out if has other capybara in the tournament or if that was a lie.
