Jinpei was now confident with his newfound control over Drake's monster power, but he knew he had to test his abilities in real combat. Ken was willing to spar with him again, and Jinpei was excited to see how much he had improved.

As the fight began, Jinpei focused on controlling Drake's power to transform various parts of his body. He formed a gauntlet around his right hand, which glowed with a fiery orange energy. He sent a powerful punch towards Ken, who was surprised at the strength behind it.

"Damn, Jinpei, you make me serious." Ken said and start transform as well.

His hands became clawed, his teeth sharpened, and his senses sharpened to that of a wolf's. Ken is now like a beast on the field. He repeatedly unleashed violent attacks on Jinpei. But even in his transformed state, Jinpei was able to match him. The Drake Gauntlet seems to work independently of Jinpei, it deflects all of Ken's attacks, and repeatedly counterattacks, leaving Ken in a dilemma.

"Very good, Jinpei, it's been a while since I've felt this. In return, I'll let you taste my trump card." Ken said with a smug on his face.

Suddenly Jinpei felt heavy all over, he couldn't lift his limbs. "What's going on?" Jinpei muttered

Ken lunged forward, this time even faster than before, his claws about to deliver a powerful blow to Jinpei. The powerful attack caused the field to shake, and smoke filled the air.

But Jinpei dodged that attack. The glove on his hand has now turned into boots on his feet. He lunged towards Ken, with a speed that was too fast to be visualized with the naked eye. Ken tried to dodge but was still caught by a swift kick that sent him flying.

"You know, Ken? Increasing gravity can be a double-edged sword if your opponent can use it against you." Jinpei is complacent.

Jinpei then formed wings on his back, allowing him to take to the sky and attack Ken from above. He breathed fire from a helmet that formed around his head, which caught Ken off guard.

Ken fell hard to the ground, creating a large impact. When the smoke cleared, Jinpei had since been standing on Ken's body, pointing Drake's gauntlets at him. "I won." Jinpei said.

Ken was amazed at Jinpei's newfound abilities and praised him for his progress. The other members of Silver Eclypse watched in awe as Jinpei demonstrate his control over Drake's power.

Ken then disarmed the transformation, Jinpei also released his equipment and reached out to help Ken up.

"Glad you on our side." Ken said.

Jinpei smiled, feeling more confident and powerful than ever before. He knew that with his newfound abilities, he could make a real difference and help the outlaws of Silver Eclypse in their quest for justice.

Hayato walked towards Jinpei and patted his back. "Congratulations, Jinpei. You have shown remarkable progress in controlling your monster power. It's time for you to undertake your first mission as an outlaw."

Jinpei looked up at Hayato, feeling a sense of pride for earning the trust of the Silver Eclypse leader. "What is the mission?" he asked.

Hayato gestured for Jinpei to follow him, leading him to a table where a map was spread out. "We have received information that a group of bandits has been raiding a nearby village. We need you to take care of them."

Jinpei examined the map, trying to memorize the details of the terrain. "How many bandits are we talking about?"

Hayato shrugged. "We don't have exact numbers, but we suspect it's a small group. Shouldn't be too much trouble for you and Ken."

Jinpei turned to Ken, who had been silently observing the conversation. "What do you think, Ken?"

Ken nodded. "I'm ready whenever you are, Jinpei. Let's go show those bandits what happens when they mess with the Silver Eclypse."

Jinpei felt a surge of excitement and determination. This was his chance to prove himself as a member of the Silver Eclypse, to show that he was capable of using his monster power for good. "Let's do it," he said, clenching his fists.

Hayato gave them a nod. "Good luck, Jinpei and Ken. We'll be waiting for your return."
