"What's wrong? Aren't you going to get revenge for your cousin? Oh right, you can't, it was completely fair of me to act in self-defense, after all he did try to slice me in half... and failed."
He didn't advance, and just waited for Ven to advance. But it doesn't matter to him, if Ven won't move, then James can laugh at him like a coward. If he does move, then he can just counter or stop his attacks, and let Ven exhaust himself. Either way he can make the situation at least a bit more benefit to himself, rather than just being in a show.

Just as I thought he is waiting for the right moment to strike. I have to figure out a way to break that defense.
Ven was at the point of no return he continued to think any possibly then remembered his master.
'Boy, you anger too easily and so predictable using your skills expecting them to hit. At this rate you will only will kill yourself and those who follow you. The Way of the Blazing Rose is graceful, elegant, and striking at enemy weak points instantly before they see it coming. This art used to be used by more then a few but it has been lost for centuries only a few of us actually still know it. If fighting an enemy stronger or knows your technique there is only one way to win.'
Just then Ven figured it out on why he was so easily stopped by James.
'So that is what he meant... I been so blind to not see it! The only way is to calculate what type of enemy I am fighting from the over aggressive to the defensive. James is that of a counter enemy who will only move if the enemy moves but more as a manipulator who leads his enemies to their own demise. He looks at all outcomes then uses whatever tactic he uses beforehand like a man who plays chess he already figured out his entire strategy. Even so that his greatest strength is also his own weakness as someone who knows everything he will break if someone else better out does him. I am no man like that so that leaves...'
Ven soon closed his eyes for a bit and ignoring James utterly, feeling the wind, the world around him, and off to the distance a great city. Suddenly he moved with full speed toward James with those eyes still closed looking to ready to strike. Moving toward he looked it was about to strike to only... switch his blades direction at the last second by flipping the hilt with the blade now behind him then suddenly jumped up over James. He quickly threw his sword into the air timing it precisely how long it would take to stop. He still with his eyes closed prepared himself to move in closer into looking like he was about to use his Pulse Masers Mode 2.
'To be unpredictable!!', Ven mentally roared.

'....A slash...? What? His sword...? Is he trying for one last attack? From what the video showed, that hit won't be light... my choices would be...'
Ven was right in predicting one of James' fighting style, countering attacks until there's an opening for a killing strike. Watching, and controlling the opponent's movements until they fall into his well planned traps. But the problem with this is that the human mind aren't so easy to figure out... and this is one of the cases.
There's a few choices James could do, attack with his own energy blast, which would most likely kill Ven on the spot if it contacts. Another is to dodge the coming attack for an opening, it'll be easier to hit Ven now that his sword is out of his hands. And the last choice is to rush forward and attack before Ven could fire that attack, risky, but the opening is pretty wide right now.
Each of the choices have their own risks and rewards, but that's not all, each of them actually represents a way of thinking. The first, is the most similar to how he does things, a balanced but powerful way... but he still need Ven in the picture. The second way, is the safest, but it does mean that he don't have the courage to standup to a tough situation. Which could be a problem to his mental states in the long run. The last way is the most reckless, quickest choice, but that's more like how Ven would do things, and he is not Ven.
Within a second, he decided on what to do, or rather his skills and experienced moved his body into the choice he would have chosen. Instantly he jumps back, holding his arms side by side, the gauntlets glows as they focus the energy needed to attack. But he didn't just attack, he waited, looking at Ven. He have confidence that he'll be able to attack faster than Ven could in his wounded state, but he's not sure if Ven would actually risk his live for a show like this, even a fool should be able to weight the problem in front of him.

Ven eyes still closed heard James move out of the way as Ven quickly instead of firing his attack landed on the ground on his fours and then charged full speed ahead toward James with left fist looking to ready a punch. As he grew closer he was very close to as his fist was about to be launched. Instead Ven opened his eyes and caught the katana in his hand and was about to do a quick slash towards James gauntlets. It was only inches away only for something unexpected to happen.
"I Yield.", Ven soon said with a smirk.

'Ah well, guess the other kid can replace him...'
James saw the attack, and was ready to turn Ven to pieces, when he all of a sudden hear what Ven said. It's kind of late though, the energy is ready to unleash... but, he can't kill someone that surrendered, it'll be big problem if he does.
"Tsk... HA!"
So he changes his motions quickly, into a downward throwing motion as the energy get released right next to the two of them. The energy released barely missed Ven, with the ground taking most of the hits. The attack created two large craters on the ground, the energy used for this attack would surely have killed any regular person if it does hit. But it used up most if not all of the remaining energy of the Power Suit, causing most of it's functions to stop.
Of course, this is extremely annoying to James, more so after seeing that smirk on Ven's face.
"You... you... you! Are the MOST idiotic!! Reckless!! Childish person that I have ever seen!! Just because of your stupid move, you almost died from it!! You almost died for nothing! Do you heard me!! Use your damn brains for one you damn gorilla!! Have you not evolved from your beast-like status yet!?"
He yelled at Ven for several moments, with his fist readied to punch down the moron in front of him. But after a few seconds he calmed down a bit, and stopped. Before remembering something and grabbing Ven again.
"And this is for the stupid smirk!! Go sit in the corner of the pit and think about what you just did!!"
And he throws Ven down the pit with all of his might, before raising his arms in victory.

Ven suddenly saw James going into panic mode as he planned this exactly how he predicted and even being thrown through the pit his job was done. He knew how James was going to react to be unpredictable he would of has seen all his attacks but yielding that was the cake. James in his great mind wouldn't expect to look like a suicide run then suddenly yielding at all. Finally fully understanding what his grandmother and master told him he knew. This was truly the only beginning, err speaking of that he was falling. Quickly Ven was coming close to the arena down below and suddenly used up the remaining of his power of his repuslor engines to land.
"Well even though I lost the tournament I think it was worth it.", Ven soon said as he left the stage with the crown still silent, shocked, and dumbfound.
As he left the referee soon managed to get his composure then states, "Victor and Champion of the 213th Surpemus Duelist Tournament Marquis James Eliot Gransela!!"
Soon a cheer was heard with Menna soon adding, "Well ladies and gentlemen out of all the history of this tournament I believe this was a first and one of kind to remembered for all history!! With Marquis James Eliot Gransela being crowned champion in a completely unexpected and completely surprising way!! Now the ceremony for the champion will be carried out tonight!! Stay tune as some of our commentators begin to analyze this year's tournament!!"
On Aurlia
"What... what just happened?", Kaitlin soon said also dumbfound.
Everyone in the room was silent with then suddenly Ken began to laugh.
"Well well nephew you completely surprise me again. To think you would go that far to send that kind of message and in front of the entire galaxy!! HAHAHA!!", Ken soon said as he laugh leaving everyone in the room still dumbfound.
Maria was watching then she smiles soon muttering, "Very good Ven you managed to fully understand our way. Still rushing toward's one death will only shorten your life."
On Annaroze
Lurescia was also dumbfound as she thought she was about to lose her only brother left. But what happened completely surprised her... and more importantly angered her.
"That Ven Avenor... we I see you in purpose again I WILL GIVE YOU A FUCKING TRASHING!!!", Lurescia soon shouted at no one only for her first officer to come in suddenly.
"Uhh Vice Admiral what is t- OH SHIT!!", he soon said as he dodged a knife that was thrown at the door way.
"YOU HEAR ME VEN AVENOR!! I WILL NOT BE SO LENIENT!!", Lurescia soon shouted.
Ven
Ven soon entered near the room he was at only for a punch to the face could be felt.
"YOU DUMBASS!!", Ben soon shouted with an angry Secretary Karli right behind.
"YOU DO KNOW HOW SUICIDAL THAT WAS!!", Karli soon added in with her slap.
"Hehehe all apart of the plan.", Ven soon said even though a bit bruised it was worth it.
Ben was angry a bit but then he soon face palmed then began to laugh too.
"Your right the look on his face... priceless.", Ben soon added as both Avenors began to laugh leaving a Karli and Doctor Elizabeth dumbfound.
Elsewhere
"Well now.. this is interesting end. Still we got all the test results that we need. With this the next step of the plan can begin, I believe what was it called again?", the older man soon said.
"Father I believe it was Planet Calypso one of the older colonies created in the Eastern Frontier.", the third unknown man soon said as he appeared.
"Ah yes... the next phase of testing... I do wonder if Caliburn will interfere again. Regardless tell your younger brother the next part of the plan has begun the 'special guest' is already on his way towards Echelon.", the older man soon said.
"As you wish father.", the younger man said with a bow.
"Interesting how things turned out this Ven Avenor is not as sly as his older brother Gen Avenor. Still he is reckless and unpredictable he could potentially cause a problem in all future plans.", the 2nd man soon said to the older man.
"Possibly but still I am more worried about Marquis Ken Avenor, The Lion of Aurlia is a far more dangerous adversary. Still as long as we keep this hushed up the Emperor won't find out and if he does it will be too late.", the older man soon said.
"Just as you Duke Jason Adunliun and 'He' predicted.", the 2nd man soon finished.
"Of course its time for a change that the Empire has never seen before.", Duke Jason soon said with a smirk.
Earl Krutus Adunliun
"I see... very well I will inform 'him' as well. A few days you say ok we will be prepared by then.", Earl Krutus said on his communicator.
He soon closed it and has an evil smirk on his face then muttering, "Everything is progressing very quickly and perfectly. Only Countess Darcy and the others stand in our way but not for long. The beginning of change will starting happening and the growing flames of war will be brought with it. The opening salvo has just been unleashed let us move to the first act of the game!!"
