The elder Li-de tries to defend himself against his younger brother's challenge to a three-sided mirror game. He tells Long-ling that he's amazed at the young man's ability to control his own magic. He also says that he thinks Long-Ling will be able to beat him in the next round of the tournament tomorrow. Long-Lin asks why he hasn't been allowed to take the test, and the elder replies that he needs to practice his control of magic more. The elder says that the test is expensive, and that he could use a scroll instead of a mirror game to test his own power. He says that Long-Li-de can create a snowstorm and change its direction, which is much more powerful than any other magician. He adds that he can also change the direction of the snow too, which makes him even more powerful. The older brother asks if he can accompany him to have supper, but Long-Long-Lin says he wants to practice immediately. He asks the older brother why he doesn't have a cloak, and he says he'll try to get one if he passes the test. He's a mage, after all, so he should get himself a cloak. The senior brother says that if he keeps messing around the pavilion, he will be locked up.
